Ticket Chosen by People of Anaheim (Continued from Page 1) our present situation frankly; to conduct this campaign without personalities or villification of any individual, and for the sole purpose of ridding our city of klan control and the spirit of hatred, suspicion and bigotry that has been engendered by the klan. Let us have done with the present reign of distrust and ill will and start the New Year, the happy community we were before the Wizard, the Cyclops and the hooded-crowd came among us, but bigger and better than we ever have been.

SIDNAM ELMER BRUS MOTOR LICENSES The Division of Motor Vehicles began to accept applications and fees by mail for the renewal of automobile licenses for 1925 on Monday, December 16. Although the official renewal period will not open until the latter part of next month, Chief Will H. Marsh states that the division is desirous of having these applications so that they may be tabulated and thus give the motoring public faster service. No certificates or plates was mailed out until the renewal period started. Applications should be sent directly to the division at Sacramento. The Los Angeles district ... 263,078 New York City, 2nd district ... 226,457 The figures show that the Los Angeles district, composed of only ten counties, filed 37,000 more returns than the second district of New York, and was only 6,000 behind the other internal revenue district of New York City, the first. Only the Massachusetts district, which embraces an entire state, Chicago and Philadelphia filled more personal returns than Los Angeles. Collector Goodcell's survey points out that as many personal returns are filed in the Los Angeles district as in Oregon, Washington, Utah, Arizona and Nevada combined. "The annual increase in returns filed in the Los Angeles district during the last five years has set a record that has not been approached anywhere in the United States," Collector Goodcell declared. "The fact that there has been a substantial increase in returns every year evidences a steady and consistent growth in the population and income-producing power of Southern California, and proves that there is no mushroom inflation in this section of the country." WATER BOARD MEETING The regular meeting of the board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water company was held Monday. Reports of the treasurer and superintendent for the month of November were read and upon motion accepted and ordered filed. Upon motion warrants were ordered drawn in the following amounts: Pacific Telephone company, Fullerton, 351.15; Pacific Telephone company, Anaheim, $25.60; Miss Justine Whitney, $1.00; and Miss Justine Whitney, $1.00.

Marsh states that the division is desirous of having these applications so that they may be tabulated and thus give the motoring public faster service. No certificates or plates were mailed out until the renewal period started. Applications should be sent directly to the division at Sacramento. The fee should be sent by check, money order, or bank draft. Currency or silver should not be sent. The fee for renewing the license of an ordinary passenger automobile, trailer or motorcycle is $3.00. Owners of trucks or other motor vehicles used for commercial purposes will pay the same fee as last year the amount of which is shown on the certificate of registration. A weight certificate will not be necessary. No application will be accepted without the pink certificate of ownership and the division is asking that the white certificate of registration be sent also. In cases where the registered owner and the legal owner are not the same Marsh advises the registered owner to send his fee and white certificate to the legal owner and let the latter make application. When the application is approved the new certificate of registration and the plates will be sent to the registered owner direct and the certificate of ownership will be sent to the legal owner. If the pink certificate of ownership has been lost by the legal owner he should make application to the division for a duplicate. If the registered owner has completed his payments during the year but has failed to make the proper transfer the division will refuse to change its records except on presentation of the certificate of ownership, properly endorsed. Persons who have become legal owners and then lost the pink slip will be obliged to get the original legal owner of the car to secure a duplicate ownership certificate and then endorse it over to them. In this connection Marsh issues a particular warning to all buyers of motor cars to be positive that they can secure the pink certificate of ownership, properly endorsed, when they pay up on an automobile. This is just as important as receiving a deed on real estate. Ownership of the car does not pass with the payment of The regular meeting of the board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water company was held Monday. Reports of the treasurer and superintendent for the month of November were read and upon motion accepted and ordered filed. Upon motion warrants were ordered drawn in the following amounts: Pacific Telephone company, Fullerton, $51.15; Pacific Telephone company, Anaheim, $25.60; Miss Justine Whitney, $1.00; and Miss Justine Whitney, $1.60. Finance committee submitted Engineer Carwile's estimate for competing the maps. Upon motion this was referred to the superintendent and finance committee for further investigation. It was moved, seconded and carried that this company grant P. H. Krick a lease on the land now occupied by his barn at a rental of $15.00 per year payable in advance. Attorney Head was instructed to draw this lease. Attorney Head reported regarding applications by the City of Redlands, the East Lagonia Water Company and the Temascal Water Company now pending before the State Water Commission, and reported that Mr. Francis Cuttle of the Riverside Water Company had requested that a conference between representatives of the Anaheim Union Water Company, Santa Ana Irrigation Company, the Santa Ana River Development Company, the Gage Canal Company, and the Riverside Water Company be held. It was moved, seconded and carried, that this conference be held at the office of the Riverside Water Company on Thursday, December 18, at 2:30 p.m. Communication read from the State Compensation and Insurance Fund asking to renew the compensation insurance for the year 1925. Upon motion the secretary was instructed to have this policy renewed. Oil production reports from St. Helen's Petroleum Company, Associated Oil Company, and the Hurloysmith Company were read and ordered filed. Upon motion the following transfers of stock were granted: 7 shares, Fullerton Commercial and Savings Bank to A. S. Bradford, trustee for F. B. Tuffree. 5 shares, Anna H.

This is just as important as receiving a deed on real estate. Ownership of the car does not pass with the payment of money but with the transfer of the certificate of ownership. Clear title is not established until that certificate is sent or taken to the division and the change in ownership recorded. Car owners could save themselves a great deal of trouble, Marsh says, if they would take or send the certificate of ownership to the division for transfer as soon as the sale of a car is consummated. INCOME TAX FIGURES Survey of the number of personal income tax returns filed this year, shows that the Los Angeles District which is composed of the ten Southern counties of California is exceeded only by New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and the Massachusetts district, which takes in the whole state, including Boston. Reflecting Los Angeles' wonderful growth in population and steadily advancing production of personal income, Collector of Internal Revenue Rex B. Goodcell's survey gives the number of personal income returns filed in 1924 by the five leading districts in the country: Massachusetts district ... $420,017 Chicago district ... 387,676 Philadelphia district ... 361,053 New York City, 1st district... 268,936 MANY ATTRACTIONS IN WEST Captain C. C. Baldwin, Southern Pacific sea captain on the Atlantic coast, is now in the west making an intensive study of tourist and resort conditions. He is visiting many parts of California and Oregon and neighboring states. Baldwin is captain of the Southern Pacific Steamship "Comus" which leans and frequently is confronted piles between New York and New Org with questions of passengers concerning the West Histrip will broaden his knowledge and thereby enable him to intelligently talk on the different subjects which may arise in connection with our western territory. Some of the most important places it has its itinerary include New Orleans, El Paso, The Apache Trail in Aralizona, Los Angeles and Southern California, Santa Barbara, Monterey Bay Section, Yosemite, through the Sacramento valley and as far north as Portland. "The West is what the people ask about, even abroad Atlantic steamships," Captain Baldwin said. "Therefore it was felt necessary that I should personally know California, Oregon, Arizona and other parts of the west in order to more intelligently inform my passengers concerning the many attractions here. Mr. Baldwin plans to leave early in December for New York, where he will again take charge of his ship. BRITAIN'S EGYPTIAN POLICY The British government has very properly advised the League of Nations that it will not tolerate interference in the controversy with Egypt, whether this interference is offered by the League or by any government acting separately. The questions at issue are declared to be wholly domestic in character, relating to engagements entered into between Great Britain and Egypt, and pertaining to the execution of Britain's duty toward both Egypt and the Sudan. Commenting upon this declaration, the London newspapers have strongly commended the government for its determination to obtain satisfaction from their objection arises only when it is urge that the United States should join this little ring of powers for the purpose of regulating the affairs of Europe, Asia and Africa. The aims of the British government in the Sudan are obviously proper. The country is being brought toward civilization. It is a thankless task. When interference is attempted by a corrupt government in Egypt, which relies upon assassination as one of its weapons, the world can not but approve of Britain's declaration, without tolerating the intolerance of other powers. GEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES Explorations in northern Alaska, the expedition down the Grand Canyon of Colorado, discoveries of what are believed to be commercial deposits of potash in Texas are some of the accomplishments cited by the director of the Geological Survey in his annual report for the past fiscal year made to the Secretary of the Interior. During the year geologic surveys were made by the field man of this scientific bureau in 44 states and Alaska, while at the same time 21,000 square miles were covered by topographic surroys in various parts of the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii, all of them seurveys of great economic usefulness but of the value of which, sad to relate, the major portion of the public is profoundly ignorant. Air-route maps of more than 100,000 square miles were also compiled by the Geological Survey for the army air service, many million acres of land were classified as to their mineral or non-mineral character, the flow of streams measured at 1700 gauging stations all over the country to determine their value for irrigation, power and other purposes, a large amount of investiga- NO FRICTION Apparently Japanese protests against the American naval maneuvers in the Pacific next summer do not represent official opinion but are inspired by the jingo press. The commander in chief of the Japanese naval squadrons disclaims any feeling on the subject whatever. He declares the practice is no different from that induced in by other navies as a matter of routine training. He emphasizes the fact that Japan has no cause for worry over what the American Navy may be doing 3,000 miles from her shores. The attitude of the Japanese admiral may be copied with profit by some of our own citizens. We can advocate preparedness without cultivating suspicions against any country in the world. LIFTING THE BURDEN In a little over four years the country has paid off one-fifth of its war debt. Were the same rate to continue the entire obligation would be liquidated in twenty years, but tax reductions recently made and contemplated for the future are likely to cut the revenue to a figure that will not permit such large debt payments. The first consideration of President Coolidge is for taxpayers, and surpluses that may occur in the treasury from time to time will be translated into lighter taxes rather than heavier payments on the national debt.

The questions at issue are declared to be wholly domestic in character, relating to engagements entered into between Great Britain and Egypt, and pertaining to the execution of Britain's duty toward both Egypt and the Sudan. Commenting upon this declaration, the London newspapers have strongly commended the government for its determination to obtain satisfaction from the Egyptian government and also to maintain absolute control of the communications between Britain and its dominions. Now comes information that the lives of British ministers are in danger because of a conspiracy hatched in Cairo and extending to London. Plain-clothes men are guarding the ministers, and Lord Allenby and his associates in Egypt ar also heavily guardd. The difficulties inherent in dealing with the Egyptian situation are sufficient, even with a free hand on the part of the British government, without complicating matters by the interference of the League of Nations. It is significant that the secretary for foreign affairs, Austen Chamberlain, had a long conference with Premier Herriot of France, and that an official communique has been issued, stating that "an accord has been reached on questions demanding an immediate solution." Undoubtedly this accord means that France will direct its representative in the League of Nations council to discourage any action looking to League interference in the Egyptian situation. Probably, also, France has agreed that Great Britain shall have a free hand in dealing with Egypt. When France and Great Britain agree that the League of Nations shall not interfere in British or French affairs, the matter is settled; for those powers control the council of the League. They called a halt when the council was anxious to take charge of the Corfu controversy. They have no difficulty in inducing Japan and Italy to agree to their program, as both of those powers have obtained concessions which constitute a satisfactory quid pro quo. The control exercised by the four powers in question over the League council is an illustration of the fact frequently emphasized in the United States, but overlooked by League of Nation zealots, viz., that the League of Nations in its actual workings is merely an agency of the great powers and utterly unable to act MUSIC INSTRUCTION By pedagogue of great experience, and concert pianist of international reputation.

The real stumbling block for people recovering from tuberculosis is stepping from the hospital into an 8-hour day, competing their strength against a well person. These patients, said Edythe Tate Thompson, secretary of the California Tuberculosis association, are well in every sense of the word, but are being tried out on a two, four, and five hour day at light work before taking a permanent position. Christmas seals make this work possible. As soon as enough funds are secured these shops will be opened in different parts of the state.
