Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuehel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entured at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter AMENDMENT NO. ONE Amendment number one on the November ballot is an initiative proposition to amend the State Constitution to limit the amount of taxes which may be imposed upon companies or persons operating interurban auto buses and trucks to 4 per cent of their gross annual receipts. It does not apply to jitneys or trucks hauling freight exclusively within any town or city and it does not benefit owners of trucks in ordinary hauling or trucks used by farmers and others in their own business. The amendment will exempt these buses and freight trucks from the payment of auto license taxes, county property taxes, taxes imposed according to the weight of the truck to provide funds for the repair of the roads and also exempts them from the tax of two cents per gallon upon the gas they use, and specifies that the only tax they will be required to pay is four per cent on their gross earnings. They are now paying the four per cent on their earnings in addition to the other taxes I have mentioned. this proposed amendment are in direct competition with the railroads. The railroads have been compelled to buy their rights of way, construct their road beds and lay and keep their tracks in order. These busses and freight trucks use the highways which the public moneys have constructed and whichever peoples' taxes maintain. SLOW IN ASKING BONUS Only approximately one third of the veterans of the World War have applied for the bonuses, according to a statement just issued by Major General Robert C. Davis, adjutant general of the army who is in charge of the administration of the Adjusted Compensation Act. General Davis declares that: "To date there have been received from four and a half million veterans some one million three hundred thousand applications for adjusted compensation. Of this number 850,000 applications have been examined and about four hundred thousand have been passed, and certificates for amounts due forwarded to the United States Veterans' Bureau for the extension of the benefits provided by law. The War Department is now ready to receive verify and certify an average of thirty thousand or more applications daily. "It is imperative from the standpoint of economy in the administration of the act and consequent saving to the payer that those veterans who intend to avail themselves eventually of the benefits conferred by the Act should make their applications now." From the viewpoint of the veteran it is even more imperative that if he intends to apply eventually for the benefits given by the Act that he depressing or cheating readily affected hisings.

'Nerve was exhaustion—a dismention and a pred nearly every ill t property taxes, taxes imposed according to the weight of the truck to provide funds for the repair of the roads and also exempts them from the tax of two cents per gallon upon the gas they use, and specifies that the only tax they will be required to pay is four per cent on their gross earnings. They are now paying the four per cent on their earnings in addition to the other taxes I have mentioned. The proposed amendment provides "such taxes shall be in lieu of all other taxes and licenses, state, county and municipal, upon the property above enumerated of such companies. Those are comprehensive words and clearly exclude the idea of any of these buss and truck owners paying any other tax whatever. The act provides that if they receive any special privileges from any town or city, they must be assessed additional taxes for that purpose. The act provides that the property of these buss owners may be assessed to pay the principal and interest of any obnded indebtedness existing on any city or county, but any tax paid shall be deducted from the amount of tax to be paid under the four per cent provision and they are exempt from taxation for the payment of future municipal or county bonds, so that the taxation for the payment of future municipal or county bonds, so that the maximum limit of taxes which can be imposed upon them is 4 per cent of their gross earnings, that much and no more. The theory of our Government is the greatest good to the greatest number. The population of California is estimated at about four and one-half million people. The number of licenses issued for autos used for business and pleasure is considerably over one million. There are probably not to exceed one hundred companies in the State operating buses and trucks that would be affected by this proposed amendment. It is generally conceded that the rate of taxes on all other cars must be greatly increased in order to provide funds for the construction and maintenance of our highways. It does not seem right that the taxes of everybody else should be increased while the taxes of these few companies alone are reduced. Our state highways and paved county road are the pride of the California motorist and must be kept in condition. Ev would be affected by this proposed amendment. It is generally conceded that the rate of taxes on all other cars must be greatly increased in order to provide funds for the construction and maintenance of our highways. It does not seem right that the taxes of everybody else should be increased while the taxes of these few companies alone are reduced. Our state highways and paved county road are the pride of the California motorist and must be kept in condition. Everybody recognizes that many hundreds of miles of additional roads are an absolute necessity. Taxes for the building and maintenance of highways are usually cheerfully paid by our people. These busses and trucks used in hauling freight etween regular terminals should pay their share. The state has spent seventy three million or bond money in the construction of new highways and has also spent many millions of dollars in maintaining and preserving them. The various counties have also invested in good roads additional sums almost equally the amount which the state has spent. This huge investment of the people's money must be protected and the roads built with it must be preserved. These auto buses and freight trucks are tremendously heavy and do a great amount of damage to our highways. At present they are required to pay a tax based on the amount of the load they carry. The proposed law eliminates this weight tax and the other taxes I have mentioned. Those taxes now divided between the counties and the state and are used exclusively for repair of roads. All the money to be raised by the proposed tax will go into the general fund of the state. None of it will go to the counties and none of it will be used for road repair. The busses and trucks benefitted by "Lastly, the cash payments under the Act become due on March 1, 1925 and unless the veteran applies in sufficient time in advance of that date to enable his claim to be properly adjusted and transmitted to the Veterans' Bureau the payment to him will be delayed. "It will be clearly seen from a consideration of the facts presented that it is to the utmost benefit of the veteran, both as a veteran and as a taxpayer that if he intends to apply eventually for the benefits conferred by the Act, he should do so at once. The continued co-operation of all newspapers and other agencies who have heretofore so kindly given their services to aid in a prompt and economical administration of the Adjusted Compensation Act, is asked to assist in bringing about the prompt submission of applications for adjusted compensation by those who intend to apply." Application blanks may be obtained through the American Legion, the American Red Cross, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Disabled American Veterans, all Post Offices, the National Guard, the Organized Reserves, Army, Navy and Marine Corps stations and veterans' bureau agencies or by addressing the Adjusted Compensation Branch the Adjutant eGneral's office, Washington, D.C. FAVORS LIGHT TINTS Husbands of unhappy wives who seem depressed without any apparent reason, should look to the color of the ways of the house or apartment in which they live, for, according to Dr. R. C. Endriss of Oakland, oye expert and president of the California State Optometrists' Association, the color of the walls of a room either make it depressing or cheerful and women are readily affected by these surroundings. "Put a woman in a house where the walls are sombre and dark in color," said the optometry association chief, in an address before members of the Santa Clara County Optometrists' Association in session here, "and she will be depressed." Putting out the eye acts as a camera, a microscope, telescope, a range finder, a motion picture projector and a stereoscope, Dr. Endriss explained that eighty-five per cent of all knowledge the human mind acquires comes through the eyes. "That is why the reflection of light and color coming from the interior walls of a home has such an important effect upon the mind and the spirits," he said. "The nerves and the mind are affected more by the things that strike the eye than is generally known and the color of the walls are therefore important considerations as the woman who is depressed in the house with drab walls demonstrates." Endriss discussed the relation of general health to eyestrain and the relation of eyestrain to general health. "Eyestrain means nerve waste," he said. "Nerve waste leads to nervous exhaustion—a distinctly American element and a predisposing factor in nearly every ill that flesh is heir to." HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION As one travels over the hard surfaced highways in a state like California he is impressed with the difference between the roads built from five to ten years ago and modern trend in road construction. The old road from 18 to 20 feet wide is being replaced by roads where the grading runs almost from fence to fence along side of the highway. O. Royer, deceased.

HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION As one travels over the hard surfaced highways in a state like California he is impressed with the difference between the roads built from five to ten years ago and modern trend in road construction. The old road from 18 to 20 feet wide is being replaced by roads where the grading runs almost from fence to fence on either side of the highway. This requires no more work than digging ditches along the sides of the road as in the past and it adds measurably to the safety of the highways. It makes them virtually the width of a city street as on either side of the paved strip in the center there is plenty of room for one more car to pass. In other words, highways are being widened out sufficiently so that five or six cars may stand abreast. This eliminates, to a large extent, the danger of accidents from passing vehicles. A second feature that one observes is the tendency to build shoulders some two feet wide on each side of old pavements and corner the space in between with a new surface of asphaltic concrete. Thus is the old paving base salvaged by a new shock absorbing cushion which will withstand the impact of modern traffic. Western states are leading the way in these new methods of road construction which include widening the whole grade and strengthening and ening widening old pavements in the manner indicated. GEORGIA AND CALIFORNIA There are some outstanding facts about the California Water and Power Act which the voters of the State should remember. It is the same act, word for word as the one defeated two years ago. It provides for the same five hundred millions in bonds to be raised by taxes. It provides for the same Water and Power Board of five politicians with power to hire and fire without civil service. It provides that special taxes can be raised to pay interest or to make up losses. It provides that the Board can make its own rates without any check by the Railroad Commission.

It provides that special taxes can be raised to pay interest or to make up losses. It provides that the Board can make its own rates without any check by the Railroad Commission. It has all the faults and dangers of the act of two years ago. It is just as un-American. It was beaten two years ago by a majority of 350,000 and if the voters of California are on guard again as they were two years ago it will be beaten worse this year. It may be interesting for California voters to know that down in Georgia last July the legislature after exhaustive hearings and a five year campaign rejected two public ownership bills similar to the one before California voters by a vote of 12 to 1. Decisive decisions such as this against state socialism in California would do more to draw the investor industries and home seekers to the state than all the California booster advertising that could be run in the next ten years.
