SUPERVISOR'S PROCEEDINGS It was ordered that the pool room license issued to K. Mayeda be transferred to Moses Jacobs. A resolution was adopted for the purchase of water rights and property for Orange County Water Works, District No. 2. It was ordered that all bids for the drilling of wells for Orange County Water Works District No. 2, be rejected, and all checks returned to the unsuccessful bidders. It was ordered to abandon all further proceedings for the formation of the Tustin Fire District. The bid of Freeman, Smith & Camp Co., of par, accrued interest and a premium of $895.40 was accepted for the $22,000.00 issue of 6 per cent bonds of the Bay City School District bonds. A resolution was adopted for the purchase of certain real property from Henry E. Warren, in the matter of Orange County Water Works District No. 2. The Juvenile Committee was authorized to employ another assistant Matron, at the Juvenile Home, at a salary of $60.00 per month, commencing May 1st, 1924. The Chairman was authorized to sign notice of completion and accept contract of Juvenile Home as completed by R. C. McNillan, Contractor for the General Contract, and Geo. Cocking, Contractor for the Heating contract. The Chairman was authorized to fish which could be taken has been steadily and systematically reduced. "It is natural enough for people who find that they must make some sacrifice for the public good, to use every measure and device to defeat this attempt at real conservation on behalf of the American people. The Department has necessarily incurred the bitter opposition of certain groups of canners and certain groups of fishermen and their representatives who perhaps naturally object to any restraint on their exploitation. They are about to meet their defeat in the wholehearted action of Congress and this activity represents their last attempt." "The legislation as it is formulated represents the will of Congress and as I have said, after years of consistent hearings and investigation, it will effectually save fisheries, although it does cause some hardship to people who would otherwise profit. The Department has no authority or relationship to those fisheries or canneries otherwise than in the restraint of the number of fish that can be taken. All questions of labor and all conduct of the canneries themselves lie entirely outside of the Department of Commerce, although it has made recommendations that those matters should be taken up and corrected and other legislation is now pending for that purpose." "The administration of such phases as the Pure Food Act necessarily lies in the Department of Agriculture, and of such questions as labor in the Department of Labor. The suggestion that the Department of Commerce has added or fostered any special interest or any monopoly in fishing in Alaskan waters is absurd. As a matter of fact there is not operating today a single company which was not operating bought only the sixty such high cows While Mr. Hartsmalls, and consequently in open competitions, yet it has anized fact that any other man many high classes a strict rule as personally watch female of milking times before he be at this time it is to estimate the loss the dairy industry.

The Chairman was authorized to sign notice of completion and accept contract of Juvenile Home as completed by R. C. McNillan, Contractor for the General Contract, and Geo. Cooking, Contractor for the Heating contract. The Chairman was authorized to approve bond on Map Tract No. 681, and same was accepted as the official plotting of said tract. Map of Tract No. 692 was ordered received by the Board, and same referred to the City Engineer of the City of Newport Beach. The application for State Aid of Antonia Alapoz, was granted. The Southern California Edison Co. was ordered to install lights as per request of the Buena Park Chamber of Commerce, at Buena Park. Further hearing on the Appointment of Board of Fire Commissioners for Laguna Beach was continued to May 13th, 1924, at 2 P. M. Deed for right of way from H. S. Munson was accepted. A resolution was adopted appointing an Engineer to prepare and furnish specifications, in the matter of Road District Improvement No. 30. Bonds of Delhi School District were ordered to publish notice of sale of said bonds in the Santa Ana Daily Evening Register. Bids to be received up to May 20, 1924, at 11 A. M. SAVING ALASKAN FISHERIES Secretary Hoover stated today that the statements which appeared in the Hearst press Sunday morning in the matter of the Alaska salmon fisheries, "no far as they relate to myself and the Department of Commerce, are the result of entire misrepresentation and are absolutely untrue. They represent an attempt to defeat legislation for the saving of these fisheries. "A bill to restrain their destruction and exploitation was unanimously adopted by both the Democratic and Republican members of the House Committee after exhaustive investigation of the whole subject, including every legislation is now pending for that purpose. "The administration of such phases as the Pure Food Act necessarily lies in the Department of Agriculture, and of such questions as labor in the Department of Labor. The suggestion that the Department of Commerce has alced or fostered any special interest or any monopoly in fishing in Alaskan waters is absurd. As a matter of fact there is not operating today a single company which was not operating when the Department for the first time obtained control over these waters two seasons ago, and there is not today a single cannery which is not operating a lower scale as to number of fish taken or packed than at the time when the Administration by the Department began. "The once prolific salmon fisheries on the Atlantic Coast have been totally destroyed by ruthless, unrestrained exploitation. Those on the Pacific States have been eighty percent destroyed by the same process. The Federal Government has no jurisdiction over these fisheries. The sole remaining great salmon fisheries are in Alaska and their control is under the Federal Government. Unless their exploitation is restrained and at once, the American people will be deprived of their last supply of salmon. "I and the Department of Commerce have steadfastly urged that Congress should enact such legislation as would give effectual and just restraint The only hope for the Alaska salmon lies in the immediate enactment of the bill now pending in the Senate. The Department has urged its enactment. It is unfortunate that all of the parties in interest cannot work together to that end, and that in their mutual attacks upon each other and upon the interest of the public, they should destroy the fisheries themselves." WORLD'S GREATEST HOLSTEIN DESTROYED In spite of every human precaution that could have been taken to safeguard the herd of registered Holstein owned by Fred Hartsook, Lankershim, California, became infected with foot-and mouth disease, when the famous 40 pound and 1000 pound fat producer, Bessie Snowball de Kol, was found to be infected, and with in an hour thereafter a large number of other members of the herd went down.

They represent an attempt to defeat legislation for the saving of these fisheries. "A bill to restrain their destruction and exploitation was unanimously adopted by both the Democratic and Republican members of the House Committee after exhaustive investigation of the whole subject, including every single one of the assertions that appear in these statements, and proved foolish. The last public hearing occupied about two weeks in the Committee, every interest appeared, over 250,000 words of evidence were taken, the bill was passed by the House practically without a dissenting vote, it has been unanimously adopted by both Republican and Democratic members of the Senate Committee and is now before that body. The Hearst press has been mislead into the position of lending itself to break down this legislation. "For three years the Department of Commerce has been endeavoring to secure a law which would save these fisheries for the American people. I have repeatedly recommended to Congress that it should take action and that action is rapidly coming to fruition. These conservation measures have been supported by every conservation body in the United States, and by every constructive element in the country. "Two seasons ago, in an endeavor to stop the exploitation and to prevent further erection of canneries in that part of Alaska where there still was an opportunity to save the fish, certain executive reservations were installed as a temporary measure pending action by Congress. No expansion was allowed by any interest whatever, and the actual amount of In spite of every human precaution that could have been taken to safeguard the herd of registered Holstein owned by Fred Hartsook, Lankershim, California, became infected with foot-and mouth disease, when the famous 40 pound and 1000 pound fat producer, Bessie Snowball de Kol, was found to be infected, and with in an hour thereafter a large number of other members of the herd went down. Among the animals in this herd are such world famous animals as Tilly Alcartraz, Sir Pletertje Ormsby Mercedes 37th, Sir Anggie de Kol Mead, and the world's record heifers, Miss Aaggle Ormsby Segis and Rosmaines Korndyke Beauty, and the state record cows, Norma Korndyke Cornucopia, Carrie Tritomia Ormsby, Eva Colantha Hubbavale, and a large list of 1000 pound yearly record cows and 30 and 40 pound seven-day record cows. The herd also includes Miss Aaralia de Kol Mead, and Miss Aaralia de Kol Aaggle, 100 per cent sisters whose average of over 1100 pounds of butter for their 7 nearest dams is the highest in the world for a like average. Two sons and one daughter of these great heifers were also destroyed, these three all having averages of over 1100 pounds of butter for their 15 nearest dams, the only three animals in the world with a like average. American judges and foreign breeders who have seen the greatest herds in the world, have been unalmous in the opinion that Mr. Hartsook had assembled the greatest herd of black and whites ever gathered together in one collection. It must be remembered that he purchased his foundation animals during a period of three or four years when a very large number of high class herds were being dispersed by other breeders, and he boundary of Los Angeles widening and thickening for 16.18 km San Diego City limit San Diego County tween Shoup Avenue boundary of Los Angeles the rebuilding of Whittier Boulevard dena Avenue and Nina This latter work conjunction with Law The new highway wide and ninel inch est type of improv taken on the state Heavy traffic on the highway has made necessary.

BIG TAXABLE INGREDIENTS That the high sum incomes have resulted both the number of payers and the amt taxpayers was shown by Senator Sue the Senate Finance address explaining the tax reduction by the Senate. By charts Senator Smith change that took place and 1921 in the number in different amounts they paid. In his figures coober of personal income for the calendar year by groups of Income Smoot showed that sons in 1921 who comes between $1 ANAHEIM GAZETTE bought only the tops from more than sixty such high class herds. While Mr. Hartsook bought top animals, and consequently paid top prices in open competition with other breeders, yet it has always been a recognized fact that his purchases were made with extraordinary care. As an example of this care, it is doubtful if any other man ever purchased so many high class animals and made it a strict rule as Mr. Hartsook did to personally watch the milking of every female of milking age one or more times before he bought her. The great $27,500 bull, Sir Aaggle de Kol Mead, previously mentioned, is lost to the breed through the destruction of this herd, he being one of the three sons of the famous Miss Valley Mead de Kol Walker. It is an undoubted fact that no calamity in history has every brought about the destruction of so valuable a breeding herd as the Hartsook herd, and at this time it is entirely impossible to estimate the loss to the breed and the dairy industry in general. HIGHWAY ACTIVITIES Awarding of nine contracts for the construction and reconstruction of 80.69 miles of highway, involving an expenditure of $1,855,730.57, in addition to the establishment of two new divisions and the planning of considerable additional work, marks the advance of the state highway program in Southern California, by the present state highway commission. Additional contracts for the construction of the Rincon seawall and causeway, on the Ventura Coast; widening of the highway grade in Orange County; grading and paving on the San Bernardino-Imperial Valleys and along the Coast Boulevard had increased 53 per cent, while on incomes of from $50,000 to $200,000 there was a decrease of 25 per cent; on incomes of $200,000 to $1,000,000 there was a decrease of about 75 per cent, and on incomes in excess of $1,000,000 a decrease of 88 per cent. From the foregoing it is clear that taxpayers on relatively small incomes increased in number while those paying on large incomes decreased in number. The large taxpayers have been putting their money into nontaxable securities. A similar showing is made when the subject is considered from the standpoint of amount of net income reported. From 1916 to 1921 the net income reported in personal returns on incomes from $10,000 to $50,000 increased 95 per cent. Incomes from $50,000 to $300,000 fell almost 50 per cent. Incomes between $300,000 and $1,000,000 fell 81 per cent, while incomes of $1,000,000 and over fell 92 per cent. A comparison of the tax yields reported in personal returns for 1916 and 1921 shows that the yields from tax returns reported with incomes between $10,000 and $50,000 increased to 1,020 per cent as compared with 1916 taken as a basis of 100 per cent. Yields from incomes between $50,000 and $300,000 had increased in 1921 to over 400 per cent as compared with a basis of 100 per cent in 1916. Yields from incomes of from $300,000 to $1,000,000 declined 50 per cent in 1921 as compared with 1916, and from incomes of $1,000,000 and over dropped to 60 per cent. These figures show that large taxpayers were shifting their investments to nontaxable securities and thus escaping by legitimate means. expenditure of $1,858,730.31, in addition to the establishment of two new divisions and the planning of considerable additional work, marks the advance of the state highway program in Southern California, by the present state highway commission. Additional contracts for the construction of the Rincon seawall and causeway, on the Ventura Coast; widening of the highway grade in Orange County; grading and paving on the San Bernardino-Imperial Valley route; and along the Coast Boulevard, will be advertised and awarded in the near future. The work planned will mean the expenditure of several million dollars in this part of the state during 1924, in primary construction of uncompleted sections of the state highway system, and in rebuilding activities. New construction underway at the present time is costing $438,423.11 and totals 24.72 miles as follows: Grading of 3,93 miles, west of Westmoreland, Imperial County; paving of .73 of a mile in the city of Beaumont (completed); grading and paving of 8.2 miles on the Coast Boulevard, between Huntington Beach and Corona Del Mar, Orange County; and the grading and surfacing of 11.86 miles between the Sand Hills and the Colorado River at Yuma, in Imperial County. This, of course, is new work placed under contract by the present commission and is in addition to contracts underway previous to 1923, such as the Hauser contract on the Coast Boulevard and other similar work throughout the south. The almost unbelievable increase in traffic on Southern California highways has necessitated rebuilding and widening of many of the old pavements and 55.97 miles of this work is now being done at a cost of $1,427,307.46. This reconstruction work is underway on the following sections of highway: Widening the grade on 10.43 miles between Quail Lake and northern boundary of Los Angeles County; widening and thickening the pavement for 16.18 miles between the San Diego City limits and Oceanside, San Diego County; widening and thickening 13.5 miles of pavement between Shoup Avenue and the westerly boundary of Los Angeles County; and the rebuilding of 2.8 miles of the Whittier Boulevard between Pasadena Avenue and Montebello. This latter work is being done in conjunction with Los Angeles County. Yields from incomes between $50,000 and $300,000 had increased in 1921 to over 400 per cent as compared with a basis of 100 per cent in 1916. Yields from incomes of from $300,000 to $1,000,000 declined 50 per cent in 1921 as compared with 1916, and from incomes of $1,000,000 and over dropped to 60 per cent. These figures show that large taxpayers were shifting their investments to nontaxable securities and thus escaping by legitimate means a large share of the burden, while relatively small taxpayers became more numerous and paid a larger proportion of the tax. Out of the total surtaxes collected in 1916, 67 per cent came from incomes in excess of $300,000. In 1917 the proportion received from that class of incomes had dropped to 46 per cent; in 1918 to 34 per cent; in 1919 to 30 per cent; in 1920 to 23 per cent, and in 1921 to less than 21 per cent. Senator Smoot's suggested remedy is a reduction of the higher surtax rates which will induce men to take their money out of non-taxable securities and utilize it in productive enterprise.
