D. A. R. DENOUNCES DISLOYAL PEACE PLEDGES Timely warning to American women against the activities of so-called "peace societies" which are waging relentless war upon American institutions is voiced by Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, President General of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Under the guise of advocating world peace some of these organizations are promoting discontent with orderly government and are praising the policies of sovietism at the same time that they never find anything favorable to say about America or its form of government. The argument for world peace is so obviously attractive that it serves as a shield for radican propoganda aimed at the foundations of truly representative government. In a communication to state regents of the D. A. R., Mrs. Cook has asked them to cooperate in warning local organizations against the activities of these societies, "who in very many instances are being dominated by those who are knowingly and deliberately disloyal to our government and our political institutions." As the head of the largest patriotic body of women in America, she feels it her duty to acquaint her organization's entire membership with the menace to our most sacred obligations to home and country which is being promulgated in the seditious teachings of the organized groups that are endeavoring to have their members take the slacker's oath or the disloyalty oath, never to knit a sock, roll a bandage, nurse a wounded soldier or buy a bond to help win a war. Mrs. Cook has directed her warning particularly against that phase of radicalism which seeks to bore from within the educational system — whichance of the treasury books on June 30 should not lead Congress to enter a fool's paradise and to think it can spend unlimited amounts of money next year was pointed out by President Coolidge in his budget speech on Monday. The surplus of the year 1924-25 will be, as estimated, only about one twentieth of the present one, and the check in business, if continued, may bring it down still lower. Rigid economy must be the order of the day, as the president insisted. The existence of a surplus is to a skilled administrator of public finances chiefly a sign that taxes ought to be reduced, and an added motive for making further decreases in public expenditures, so that the treasury will still have ample funds in hand even after tax payments fall. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS URGE EXTREME CAUTION ON PART OF CAMPERS At the regular meeting of the County Supervisors held in Santa Ana on Tuesday considerable time was devoted to a discussion of the most effective means of bringing before the people she thought of greater precaution to prevent the starting of grass and brush fires, particularly in our mountain districts. The board was unanimous in the opinion that every means should be employed to impress upon the public the importance of the unusual hazard that we are experiencing this year. This action on the part of the supervisors is highly commendable and should receive the hearty co-operation of everyone.

Mrs. Cook has directed her warning particularly against that phase of radicalism which seeks to bore from within the educational system — which strives to use the teachers and the schools for the spread of their seditionic doctrines. She says: "Pacifist groups in America have waxed strong because of their sentimental appeals to our women and our women's organizations. Far reaching propaganda societies with salaried executives of persuasive oratory but twisted vision have endeavored to introduce their spacious arguments by letter, pamphlet and word of mouth through the length and breadth of our land. They have even invaded our schools with their literature. Indeed, one group has a widely advertised set of illustrated 'school literature' especially devised for its purposes and comments in its circular upon its success and popularity." Mrs. Cook makes it clear that the members of the D. A. R. are very far from being proponents of war. Like all right-minded thinking people, they are opposed to war. Nevertheless, they are sacredly pledged to the defense and support of their country, if necessity arises. As a measure of safety against any who might set aside the laws of God and man and seek to attack the rights of the American people, they advocate adequate preparedness for defense at all times by sea and land. Says Mrs. Cook: "Daughters of the American Revolution further believe that every boy and girl in America today is entitled to further participation in the blessings of this era of freedom and good government made possible by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, and they mean to oppose with all the vigor and strength of their beings any individual or groups of individuals who would substitute for them untried theories and dangerous communistic doctrines." THE UNPRECEDENTED SURPLUS Secretary Mellon explains rather than boasts about the treasury surplus of over $505,000,000 every means should be employed to impress upon the public the importance of the unusual hazard that we are experiencing this year. This action on the part of the supervisors is highly commendable and should receive the hearty co-operation of everyone. We all must realize the unusual dryness of the growth in our canyons and on the mountain sides presenting as it does one of the greatest fire hazards that has been experienced by us in sixty years. Stringent regulations have been imposed in many of the mountain districts of our surrounding counties. Word has been received by the supervisors that beginning July 1st, smoking of cigarettes and the burning of camp fires would be absolutely prohibited in parts of the Cleveland National Forests. Roads leading into several of the heavily wooded canyons in Los Angeles County have already been closed to the public and the closing of many more is under consideration at this time. Reports have been coming in from day to day of an increasing number of fires that are burning in timber and range lands in various parts of the state. This is particularly significant because of the time of the year, showing as it does that as the season advances there will be a necessity for greater vigilance on the part of everyone to prevent what might be a season of great loss. The supervisors have ordered warning signs placed along the mountain roads of our county and are doing everything that can be done to give this serious matter the importance that it deserves. They urge that not a man, woman or child should pass into any of the foot hill or mountain districts of our county this summer without first thinking seriously of the danger of fire and making a solemn resolution that no chances be taken of being the cause of what might become a terrible disaster. One match, one cigarette, one cigar carelessly thrown aside might be the cause of burning thousands of acres of forests and endangering many homes and lives.

Hale, chairman large vote Democracy leaving in greatest and system. It possible to enable adjust income tax possible by securitle whatsoever on the larger as to discoductive entropy very rich m dead occur will continue able." THE UNPRECEDENTED SURPLUS Secretary Mellon explains rather than boasts about the treasury surplus of over $505,000,000 for the fiscal year just ended. This is a sum equalizing the total ordinary receipts of the Government thirty years ago. The official estimates of last October prove to be badly out. But for this the experts are not to be seriously blamed. No one could have foreseen eight months ago the cut of 25 per cent in income taxes this year, nor did the most skilled reader of the signs in the financial heavens predict the great and sudden change in the money market early in 1924. It was this last which most threw out the treasury calculations. It made inevitable the payment of $50,000,000 in interest on the British debt in cash instead of, as was expected, in Liberty bonds. It also brought about a marked and unforeseen activity in railroad securities on government account, so that the treasury had an income on that item of nearly $80,000,000 more than the estimate. None of these considerations obscure the fact that the big treasury surplus represented a high degree of national prosperity in 1923, or the fact that American public finance has been admirably managed. The gross public debt has been reduced by over a billion and the annual interest charge cut down by more than $45,000,000. There could be no better application of a surplus.

In carrying out the instructions of the committee to secure data on small ports adjacent to larger ones, Mr. D. Eyman Huff submitted data on several locations on San Francisco Bay. This report showed the following: San Francisco handled 7,685,402 tons; Redwood handled 28,568 tons; Oakland, 1,716,332 tons; Richmond handled 55,480 tons; Napa river handled 111,118 tons Petaluma Creek handled 281,616 tons and San Raphael 33,332 tons. A few other matters were disposed of and the committee adjourned to meet again at the call of the chairman, Judge L. F. Coburn. TAX EXEMPTS STILL EXEMPT In summarizing the record of the last session of Congress, Representative Longworth of Ohio deplores the fact that the proposed amendment to the Constitution enabling state and national governments to tax the securities issued by each other failed of passage. "Most unfortunately," comments Mr. Longworth, "the constitutional amendment to tax the income derived from state and local securities failed to receive the necessary two-thirds vote by reason of the very large vote cast against it upon the Democratic side of the House, thus leaving in continued existence the greatest anomaly of our whole taxing system. It will be difficult if not impossible to finally arrive at an equitable adjustment of the graduated income tax system so long as it is possible by investment in this class of securities to escape all taxation whatsoever.

Just so long as the rates on the larger incomes remain so high as to discourage investment in productive enterprise the temptation of very rich men by investment in these dead securities to escape all taxes will continue to prove to be irresistable." LEGION NOTES The American Legion has been asked by its liaison officers in connection with the U.S. Veteran's Bureau to co-operate with that body in providing positions for the eight hundred disabled men who have finished their vocational training with the government. The veterans are now ready to take positions in the industrial, commercial and professional world after periods of training varying from six months to four years. In making the request, James Mulcare, liaison officer of District No. 12 stated: "Many of the disabled are returning to employment after an absence of four years. Many of them have responsibilities greater than has the average young man starting out. Nevertheless they will have these young men to compete with for jobs. You men of the Legion, in the thick of the industrial and commercial competition, see opportunities employment men of the government never find. Let us know of them." TO BE TRIED IN COURT The special grand jury on the oil cases has returned indictments against Albert B. Fall, E. L. Doheny, E. L. Doheny, Jr., and Harry F. Sinclair, charging conspiracy to defraud the government, and in the case of Fall and the Dohenys, bribery. The attorney for Doheny immediately issued a statement declaring that "the oil cases are now transferred from the forum of partisan politics to courts of justice, that in the congressional rights investigation the rules of evidence were ignored, constitutional rights violated and the exigencies of the 1924 campaigns were paramount.

Neither Falls' nor Sinclair's attorneys has as yet been heard from. JOB HOLDERS Figures from authoritative sources assert that nearly four billion is paid out in the United States every year to public officials, active and retired. These figures are not surprising when we know that nearly 3,500,000 persons are on the public payroll, federal, state and local. Nearly one half of the $8,500,000,000 spent yearly by our government goes to officials and former officials. Evely tax payer should understand that almost one half of his taxes go to support the office holders. One of Mussellil's first acts was to dismiss 100,000 men from the public payroll. Our trouble is that the job holder is the backbone of every political party. Jobs are the currency in which party debts are paid. And this currency is at present inflated.

They voted against the resolution to submit a constitutional amendment which, if ratified, would have subjected income from every source to taxation, and they voted against the amendment to the bill which, if adopted would have excluded income derived from tax exempt bonds from the deduction which the bill allows. When the vote which men cast renders impossible the purpose which they profess to wish to accomplish, there is an inconsistency which questions the sincerity of either the vote or their profession. And since the act is a more convincing evidence than the word of a rational man's purpose, it is not easy to avoid the conclusion that many of these Congressmen who voted for high sur taxes and tax exemption were not moved by the motive which they avowed.
