COOLIDGE PHILOSOPHY AND DOCTRINE "Men do not make laws. They but discover them. Laws must be justified by something more than the will of the majority. They must rest on the eternal foundation of the majority." "Statutes must appeal to more than material welfare. Wages won't satisfy, be they never so large. Nor houses; nor lands; nor coupons, though they fall thick as the leaves of autumn. Man has a spiritual nature. Touch it, and it must respond as the magnet responds to the pole." "Do the day's work. If it be to protect the rights of the weak, whoever objects do it. If it be to help a powerful corporation better to serve the people, whatever the opposition, do that. Expect to be called a demagogue, but don't be a demagogue. Don't hesitate to be as revolutionary as science. Don't hesitate to be as reactionary as the multiplication table." "Don't expect to build up the weak by tearing down the strong. Don't hurry to legislate. Give administration a chance to catch up with legislation." "There is no problem so great but that somewhere a man is being raised up to meet it. There is no moral standard so high that the people cannot up to meet it. "It is only when men begin to worship that they begin to grow." "There is no need for Americans to lack confidence in themselves or in their institutions. Let him who doubts their bodies, and quacks bottled the stuff and offered it is "Seneca Oil" "Indian Oil" or under some other curious name, as a cure for rheumatism. Samuel M. Kler, in 1848 took some of the stuff and distilled it and produced a fluid that would burn in a lamp, but it gave forth a horrible odor. He put it on the market as "carbon oil" at $1.50 a gallon. In 1846 Dr. Abraham Gesner, experimenting with oil produced an oil that he could call kerosene and organized a company to put it on the market. This did not possess the dreadful smell of the carbon oil and it sold readily to some displacing whale oil. The demand grew beyond the supply and Dr. Silliman of Yale was hired to conduct experiments to determine whether there was any relationship between coal-oil and petroleum. He conducted his experiments on Oil Creek in Pennsylvania, and succeeded in producing a good grade of kerosene by refining petroleum. Business men were alert. They realized that if enough petroleum could be secured it would light the world. At that time coal gas had been invented and was being used to a limited extent, but it was practical only in large cities. A company was organized to try the experiment of boring into the ground in hope of finding a well of petroleum. Edwin L. Drake, who was called "Colonel," though he had never been a soldier, but who had been employed as a railroad conductor, was appointed to superintend the work. He began boring and progressed at the rate of three feet a day. The company got discouraged and abandoned the well, but Drake borrowed money and kept on himself. Oil was struck after he had been at work about six months.. He had fortunately located in the center of a rich deposit.

LEGION NOTES Although there were the most active forces in urging passage of the recent immigration bill in Congress, the American Legion, the California Federation of Labor, the Grange and the Native Sons, have united in an appeal for the protection of the Japanese now legally resident in this state, according to James K. Fisk, state adjutant of the Legion. The four organizations have publically declared that they will seek to secure protection of the Japanese in their rights and from discourtesy of any kind. San Francisco has extended an invitation to the national officers of the American Legion again inviting them to come to San Francisco for tion will be presented at the St. Paul their 1925 convention. The Invita-Convention of the organization next month, according to James K. Fisk, state adjutant. San Francisco is the second city in which a national convention of the Legion has been held, to extend a pressing invitation to the veterans to return. Louisville, Kentucky, Newark, New Jersey and Philadelphia have also entered the fight for the 1923 conclave of the ex-service men. San Francisco legionnaires stand ready to assist Los Angeles in a fight for the next convention if the Southern California city makes an active campaign for that honor. INCOME TAX For the first time in the history of Southern California Internal Revenue District, the audit of income tax returns filed this year will be completed by September 15, and taxpayers will then know where they stand with the Government, instead of having to wait from one to two years, as has been the case heretofore. Under the new system, Collector Rex B. Goodcell said that all returns of gross or net income up to $15,000 are now adduited in his office. Hehetofore all returns o fincome in excess of $5,000 were sent to Washington for auditing. With the new policy in operation a quarter of a million taxpayers in Southern California will settle their tax controversies here instead of having to do business direct with Washington. Thousands of dollars in traveling expense will be saved taxpayers, under the new plan and quick settlement made. Collector Goodcell was notified yesterday that the Income Tax Review and Appeal Board would arrive in Los A warning to the public calling upon the people to refrain from purchasing "fake" magazines and other articles of little or no value from ex-service men and fakirs claiming to be war veterans has been issued. According to James K. Fisk state adjutant, certain publishers are using veterans of the world war to sell their products at a small return to the soldier. The legion is to try to secure passage of a law preventing misuse of the veterans. PIONEER OIL MAN When Col. Edwin L. Drake struck oil on August 28, 1859 in Titusville, Pa., he inaugurated one of the world's greatest industries and made a gift to mankind whose possibilities are still incalculable. The use of oil as an illuminating fluid may be said to have begun with Drake's well. Its use for the propulsion of automobiles and steamships was, of course, far in the future of 1859. Petroleum had been known for hundreds of years, but no real use had been found for it. It oozed out of the ground or floated on the surface of ponds, offering untold wealth to the farmers, who considered it merely a poisonous pest. The Indians had used it to rub oncess of 40,000 were sent to Washington for auditing. With the new policy in operation a quarter of a million taxpayers in Southern California will settle their tax controversies here instead of having to do business direct with Washington. Thousands of dollars in traveling expense will be saved taxpayers, under the new plan and quick settlement made. Collector Goodcell was notified yesterday that the Income Tax Review and Appeal Board would arrive in Los Angeles early in September to hold sessions at which appeals of Southern California Income taxpayers from decisions of the Income Tax Unit will be heard. Under the new Revenue Act this Appeal Board is under the direction of the Solicitor General of the Internal Revenue Bureau. Appeals from its decisions are heard by the Tax Appeal Board which was created by the Revenue Act of 1924 and which is a body independent of the Revenue Bureau, the members of which were appointed by the president. Quarters for the Income Tax Appeal Board have been arranged for in the Federal Building. "The visit of the Appeal Board to Los Angeles is in line with the Department's policy of bringing the Government to the people," Collector Goodcell said. ON BEING A FIREBUG NATION News reports of the recent million dollar sawwill fire at Hoquim, Washington, say "covered by insurance" and everybody breathes easy for there is no actual loss. But a million dollar's worth of property has been destroyed, a million dollars worth of material is lost that had been available for making men, women and children more comfortable, titled the "Meca Oil" another cu-matism book some and pro-turn in a stable odor "carbon" experi-l oil that organized market dreadful it sold whale oil.

Whether you have been a regular firebug in setting forest fires or carelessly burning your own property in city or town or country, the loss on every scrap burned must be paid by some one. Unless restored by insurance, every item of property destroyed by fire is gone, and the nation is that much poorer. Estimating human lives by the wages they might earn life comes terribly high. Any one of the 15,000 lives destroyed annually by fire may be worth tens of thousands of dollars So with property, estimated by its usefulness, even though its material value may be covered by insurance. Insurance only spreads and equalizes fires or death losses so that the few do not go bankrupt while the many go unscathed. Most of the five hundred million dollar fire losses of the United States are preventable. They need never occur. In normal business and home life could have the proportion of that sum is paid out for preventable fires every year the United States would soon hardly know itself in its new era of decency and prosperity. Being a firebug nation is hardly decent. It is time for our country to save property that is utterly foolishly wasted, that is wrongfully said to be covered by insurance. FRUIT ASSOCIATIONS The complete figures, on which final settlement will be made with members on 1923 crop apricots, will be ready within a fortnight is the announcement made tonight by the California Prune and Apricot Growers' Association at their main office in San Jose. This announcement created favorable comment on all sides among apricot growers who expressed salis- Advance payments which have been made to date have on a nearly uniform basis as regards the principal grades. In the final settlement it is customary to make the exact adjustments due to the growers on a basis of the prices realized by the Association for the various grades. Officials of the Association refused to hazard a guess as to what the payment would involve in gross amount of money to be distributed. However, among apricot men who have been in close touch with market conditions during the past few months, the impression prevails that the last advance, which was made early in July, plus the final settlement about to be made will bring the returns of the apricot growing members of the Association well above the average price realized by the independent grower for the 1923 crop. WHAT IS DEFENSE DAY? Much confusion exists in the public mind as to just what this day is, why its raison d'etre as the French say or in more homely English what is its reason of being. Briefly stated it is this: September 12 has been set aside by the War Department in conformity with the National Defense Act of 1920 as a day on which the people of the United States may express their unalterable determination to protect their country, their institutions, homes and firesides against aggression on the part of any foreign country or combination of countries. Nothing whatever as to show we shall make war of aggression against any other power or powers is contemplated. America does not make war for national aggrandizement. Thus what will take place on that day is simply an effort to co-ordinate and prevent the confusion and waste of time, energy and month that heretofore has so strongly militated against the succor- reported. This is a local problem and must be solved by each community. To repeat, all this is simply an undress rehearsal. Very few things that go to make up our complex life can be performed properly without rehearsals. No theatrical company can put on a show without repeated rehearsals. Nowaday even a formal church wedding is rehearsed. In so vital a thing as national preservation is so simple a procedure or less important? The question is, if you are an American and believe in things American will you take part in this rehearsal? Is there any valid objection to this? HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE California counties will receive a total of $2,397,728 as their share of motor vehicle fees for the first half of the fiscal year, 1924, ending July 31st, according to announcement made today by Will H. Marsh, chief of the Division of Motor Vehicles. The money will all be used by the counties for highway maintenance purposes. This amount represents the net apportionment to the counties after deductions have been made for the salaries of traffic officers which amount to, during the six month period to $138,990. The total balance to be apportioned for the period amounted to $5,073,438. Under the law one half goes to the state highway commission and the other half is apportioned to the counties on the basis of automobile registrations. Orange county's share for the per-led amounted to $61,164.68. Los Angeles county was the chief beneficiary because of the heavy registration from that section, its share being $1,015,713. San Francisco county was second with $196,969. Because most of the registrations fall in the first half of the year it has FRUIT ASSOCIATIONS The complete figures, on which final settlement will be made with members on 1923 crop apricots, will be ready within a fortnight is the announcement made tonight by the California Prune and Apricot Growers' Association at their main office in San Jose. This announcement created favorable comment on all sides among apricot growers who expressed satisfaction that a final settlement of the 1923 crop would be possible at so early a date. It was pointed out that the final settlement of the 1922 crop did not take place until March of this year and the fact that the Association is now in a position to effect a final payment on the 1923 crop is taken as an indication of the improved situation in which the Association finds itself. The computing of the actual amounts due each member and the mailing of checks will begin just as soon as possible after the final settlement on the crop is ready. Officials of the Association pointed out that there was much clerical work involved in computing the exact amount due each member for each grade of apricots delivered, but they stated this work would be rushed as much as possible. The announcement of the exact amount to be paid will be waited with especial interest by the growers, since this payment involves the settlement of the differentials which are due on the different grades of fruit and firesides against aggression on the part of any foreign country or combination of countries. Nothing whatever as to show we shall make war of aggression against any other power or powers is contemplated. America does not make war for national aggrandizement. Thus what will take place on that day is simply an effort to co-ordinate and prevent the confusion and waste of time, energy and month that heretofore has so strongly militated against the success of our national efforts. What is proposed is in no sense a mobilization Mobilization means "the process of passing from a peace to a war footing." Nobody wants to do this. There is not on our horizon a war cloud as big as a man's hand. But what of the morrow? The individual must know where to go and whom to consult. Selective service boards will be in session on that day and it is the purpose to show the individual just where he will fit in the National scheme, what niche he will occupy. It is not enough to be willing to do a thing, it is necessary how to do it. The commanders of the smaller units must know who their men are, where they are and how they can and may be reached and how they can be brought together. They must learn how and where they are to be red, how they are to be uniformed and equipped, how transportation is to be secured, to what larger units they are to report when needed and what they are to do when once they have so... Engineering for Service With the twang of a clock-spring, carried over a short stretch of wire one June day in 1875, came a discovery that was to be of incalculable value to mankind. On that day the telephone was born, and a new vocation came into being, the profession of telephone engineering. Today, 49 years later, a host of men, successors of Bell and his single assistant, are applying their trained abilities to the complex problems of meeting the nation's demand for telephone service. They explore the unknown and adapt the known in Science. They bring the thoroughness of specialists to the tasks of construction, operation, management. Their common objective is an improved service whereby man may substitute his voice for his physical presence in distant places. Engineered and not haphazard effort has brought the triumphs that mark advances in the convenience of the telephone. Because of this effort there is a communion of communities without which America, as we know it, could not exist.
