This agreement was made in 1903 and provides for the admission of American made goods into Cuba and Cuban products into the United States at less than regular rates of duty charged against imports from other countries. Cuba's principal export into the United States is sugar which forms 87 per cent of all Cuban sales to this country. During the last fiscal year the value of Cuban sugar shipped to the American market was $314,000,000 or over $1,000,000 for every business day in the year and in several recent years the amount has been even higher. Practically the sole object of the Cuban government in seeking a revival total highway expenses in 1914 such taxes promise to be at least 45% of the 1924 costs. Because of the different stages of highway development reached by various states and the many varying factors entering into such situations the committee found it impossible to recommend any fixed formula for road taxation, saying that in all states except those at the very inception of road improvement program taxation on vehicles should be sufficient to defray a substantial part of construction and interest costs as well as all the maintenance costs. The committee recommended a combination registration and gasoline tax as a simple and equitable method of placing the tax burden on vehicles using the highway. In discussing this relationship between the stage of highway development and the method of financing construction and maintenance the report said in part: "During the initial period of construction of an expensive system of improved highways in densely populated and rapidly growing states and states where the immediate need for the construction of improved highways is urgent, it would be unwise to attempt to finance highway construction wholly or even in a large part from current tax revenues. If current revenues are relied upon in these circumstances there will be either an intolerable tax burden upon the community or else there will result an unreasonable retardation of highway improvement, entailing on the community the loss of many years of the advantages of improvement of highway communication. States and localities which, however already have made considerable progress in highway construction and sources and improvements two per cent of ed by lightning, are due to careless action caused by smokers "tailor-made" cigars were responsible incendiaries 14 persons 8 per cent, raumbering operated miscellaneous causes.

During the last fiscal year the value of Cuban sugar shipped to the American market was $314,000,000 or over $1,000,000 for every business day in the year and in several recent years the amount has been even higher. Practically the sole object of the Cuban government in seeking a revision of the reciprocity act would be to obtain more favorable terms for its huge American traffic in sugar which amounts to about 7,000,000,000 pounds a year. Under the terms of the reciprocity agreement Cuban sugar pays only 80 per cent of the full tariff rate charged against sugar entering the United States from other countries. As practically all the sugar imported is brought in in an unrefined state and as the full duty provided by the present tariff on such sugar is 2.20 cents a pound Cuban exporters pay 1.76 cents a pound, enjoying an advantage of 44 cents a hundred pounds over other foreign producers. On the quantity of sugar imported up to October 1 this year this concession was worth over $30,000,000 to Cuban sugar estates which are largely in the hands of big American corporations. For the full year the value of this concession probably will be close to $35,000,000. If an attempt is made to increase this huge subsidy to corprations owning Cuban sugar estates it undoubtedly will precipitate a sharp struggle in Congress. The move will be opposed by a large group of members, including most of those representing western states, where the production of sugar beets is an important and growing industry, on the ground that it is simply an indirect method of reducing the tariff in sugar as practically all the sugar imported into the country comes from Cuba. Others will oppose any increase in the preference on the ground that under the present arrangement Cuba has much the best of the bargain. In support of this claim figures of the Department of Commerce are cited to show that Cuba draws from the United States $150,000,000 to $200,000,000 more each year than she spends in this market. In the twenty-one years since the reciprocity pact went into effect the balance of trade in Cuba is from $150,000,000 to $200,000,000. If current revenues are relied upon in these circumstances there will be either an intolerable tax burden upon the community or else there will result an unreasonable retardation of highway improvement, entailing on the community the loss of many years of the advantages of improvement of highway communication. "States and localities which, however already have made considerable progress in highway construction and have already passed the peak of new annual mileage should move gradually toward the pay-as-you-use plan. HARBOR COMMISSION In order to facilitate its work, the Orange County Harbor Commission, at the meeting held on Tuesday, October 28th, adopted a few rules for the guidance of the meetings. The name shall be the Orange County Harbor Commission. The commission is to hold meetings twice a month—on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays. If any of these days fall on a legal holiday, the meeting will be held the following day. Special meetings may be called by the President. Special meetings may be called by the Secretary on the written request of two members of the Commission. The Chairman of the Commission shall preside at all meetings. In the absence of the Chairman the members present shall select a temporary Chairman. Three members shall constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum at any meeting the members present shall have the right to adjourn until a time when a quorum can be present. Three affirmative votes shall be necessary to approve every action of the Commission. Any member being absent from three consecutive meetings without being excused by the Commission shall be requested to resign. Order of business at the meetings: Call to order. Roll call of members. Minutes of previous meeting. Reports of Committee. Report of Secretary. Correspondence. Bills. Adjournment. In order to save time it was decided that matters to be presented to the Commission should first be submitted in writing. An interesting suggestion was received from Admiral Solland, of Pacific Coast Yatching Association. This suggestion calls for the building of a jetty parallel to and West of the justly charged jetty for about 300 feet, making it possible for everyone who can swim he ride food, and there bodily ills that He has his go needed exercised. will oppose any increase in the preference on the ground that under the present arrangement Cuba has much the best of the bargain. In support of this claim figures of the Department of Commerce are cited to show that Cuba draws from the United States $150,000,000 to $200,000,000 more each year than she spends in this market. In the twenty-one years since the reciprocity pact went into effect the balance of trade in Cuba's favor has amounted according to these figures, more than $1,600,000,000. Under these conditions, it is argued any change in trade relations should be in the direction of placing them on a basis of greater equality. In answer to the claim that the present tariff rate on Cuban sugar is unduly high it is pointed out by American producers that during the past season, with this duty in force, Cuba has turned out the largest crop of sugar in the history of the island—over 4,000,000 long tons—of which more than three-fourths already has been sold in the United States. PAY-AS-YOU-USE PLAN Payment by the highway user of all maintenance costs and substantial share of the construction costs with interest was the chief conclusion in the report on "Problems of Highway Finance" submitted to the National Tax Association in its annual meeting held at Hotel Chase, St. Louis, Mo., Jacob Minor, professor of political economy at the University of Chicago, read the report. If this program is carried out, it was held, all justification for charges that motor transportation is being subsidized in its competition with other agencies will be removed. The report called attention to the fact that while the special taxes on motor vehicles amounted to only 5% of the THE FIRE DAMAGE The most disastrous fire season that has occurred in California in a decade was closed this month by timely fall rains. Two years of markedly deficient rainfall was the outstanding factor which brought about this critical condition. The 1924 fire record surpassed, in number of fires and total area burned, that of 1917, a record fire year, also one of the dryest seasons ever experienced in the state. During the period January 1 to October 20, there were 2,439 forest, brush and grain fires in California which burned over 827,000 acres—an area greater than the State of Rhode Island, and caused an estimated loss of over $5,000,000 worth of natural re- meeting.

In order to save time it was decided that matters to be presented to the Commission should first be submitted in writing. An interesting suggestion was received from Admiral Solland, of the Pacific Coast Yatching Association. This suggestion calls for the building of a jetty parallel to and West of the present jetty for about 300 feet, making a long narrow strip of land to be filled by dredging from the entrance channel, and quoting from Admiral Solland's letter: "This would give solid land supported by two jetties and would, in the opinion of some of us, create a valuation for itself which would perhaps more than pay for the cost of the work. This matter was ordered referred for consideration to the engineer when appointed. The Commission decided to accept membership in the Pacific Coast Association of Port Authorities in order to keep posted on harbor activities on the Pacific Coast.

Government land burned over amounted to 36,332 acres, or less than 2 per cent of the National Forest area of the United States. Private and State lands burned totaled 461,680 acres. The United States Forest Service spent $920,000 on fire suppression during the season. Outstanding features of the 1924 fire season were: four fire fighters killed on the fire lines; the occurrence of over 100 large fires ranging from 2,000 to more than 50,000 acres in area; closing to public use of ten million acres of National Forest land, and restrictions on camping and smoking placed on several million additional acres; the intensive State-wide educational campaign by the Fire Emergency Organization sponsored by the Forest Service, State Board of Forestry and the California Development Association; and the splendid backing given the fire prevention movement by the press, organizations and public spirited citizens.

Thirty-two per cent of all fires were caused by lightning, and 68 per cent were due to careless acts of man. Of the man-caused fires, 38 per cent were traced to smokers, largely users of "tailor-made" cigarettes, and campers were responsible for 13 per cent incendiaries 14 per cent, brush burners 8 per cent, railroads 6 per cent, lumbering operations 4 per cent and miscellaneous causes 17 per cent.

HOT WATER SWIMMER Child Actor With Harold Lloyd Is Water Marvel Unusual interest is attached to Mickey McBan, child actor with Harold Lloyd in "Hot Water" at the California Theatre Sunday, not only for his histrionic ability but because of the fact that he is the world's youngest member of the Amateur Athletic Union and champion swimmer over all comers in his class on the Pacific Coast. Prior to entering the films about two and one-half years ago Mickey, as a mere babe, used to paddle around the tank of the local gym in Spokane, his home town. He soon manifested a great interest in swimming and was placed under the instruction of an experienced coach. After several months intensive training he was entered in local aquatic meets and it was not long after that he was an entry in coast tournaments where he won five medals. "Hot Water," a tale of marital woes and happiness, gives Mickey his first big chance in pictures, although he has played in forty-six others. He enacts the role of the mischievous little brother-in-law of Lloyd. Jobna Raiston, Josephine Crowell and Chas Stevenson are seen in Lloyd's support with little Mickey. PESSIMIST IN THE MAJORITY It's sad commentary on our boasted civilization that the pessimist is often right. The reason is self-evident. He is in the majority and most people think as he does. He says that we are headed for perdition—and perhaps he's right again. Man's a land animal, but hes getting away from the land as fast as he can. And every time he gets very far away, it means trouble. Modern man refuses to walk. His preference is to ride on wheels and everyone who can, does. When he rides he can't digest his food, and there follows a long line of bodily ills that make him inefficient. He has his golf, you say, to get the needed exercise. But answers the price thereof, and an additional bond in any amount equal to fifty (50) per cent of the contract price for said the said County for the building of of claims for any material or supplies furnished for the performance of the work contracted to be done by the contractor, or any work or labor, or any kind done thereon, and also will be required to furnish a certificate that he carries compensation insurance covering his employees upon work to be done under contract which may be entered into between him and the said Copnty for the building of said road. Copies will be furnished intending bidders uponapclipa lton fornitec TH bidders upon application to the County Superintendent of Highways of said County for which a deposit of three dollars ($3.00) will be required, same to be returned on the filing of bid and the return of plans and specifications. The Board of Supervisors reserves the right to reject any and all bids. By order of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange, State of California. J. M.
