WILL THEY MEASURE UP The United States enters the year 1925 with the brightest prospects of any nation in the world. We have seen wonderful development in this country in the past 50 years but this has all been preparatory to even greater growth and greater wonders to be performed in future years. The legislatures of our various states will soon be in session and our new congress will be assembled. The gentlemen who comprise these bodies should thoroughly recognize the responsibilities which they have assumed as the representatives of one hundred and ten million people. First of all, every lawmaker should understand that he is a representative of all the people and not merely of some special class, bloc, group or other division of citizens. Important legislation affecting the growth and development of every basic industry in the United States will be presented to state and national lawmaking bodies. Policies regarding the future of radio will be up for consideration. Public utilities which are rendering local and interstate business in supplying a growing demand for their service on farms and in smaller towns will be considered. Railroad legislation is perennial. Various measures affecting the insurance business offer a prolific field for experimenting. Mining, lumbering, and oil are three great primary industries that have beenSepcial targets for legislative attention. Many other industries might be added to this list. Legislative activity in the past has been largely directed against those industries which employ the greatest number of workmen, pay out the most in wages and taxes and keep the business of this nation going. "regulars," so accurately do his lines reveal the feeling: O, it's Tommy this an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, go away"; But it's "Thank you Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play. The world war, with its terrific loss of life and its gigantic waste, the results of lack of reasonable preparation, seemed to teach its lesson, and for the first time in its history the country adopted, in the national defense act, a military policy calculated to meet its needs. The citizen soldier became the agency of defense as experience taught he must be. The standing army was to be organized chiefly as a cadre and to handle technical preparation. Its strength was fixed at a minimum standard estimated necessary to perform the duty assigned. That plan was reasonable, and admittedly it was essential to national security. But scarcely had it become adopted than deviation from its spirit was to be noted. Economy is a splendid policy, but the congressional economizers need not have turned first their pruning efforts to the agencies of defense. Rivers and harbors legislation has been enacted with sizable appropriations. The defense plan is being given too littel attention. In its final report as chief of staff, General Pershing warned the country of the danger in ignoring the needs of the army and navy, when he said: "We are down to rock bottom now and no further cut can be made without endangering the whole scheme." He pointed out the urgent necessity of better attention o he army and navy if they are to function along efficient lines. This fact, Secretary Weeks stresses citing evidences of how the military Men insure their safety neglect to injure Let us determine great American Army and Navy what we are and we are. Let's keep the well-equipped and posted to defend.

California Legionaire above word from Nere. President Cali the committee elect, Charles G. Diber, is vice-chairman George Miller, fo der of the American Fornia, is to confer Legislative procedure of this character should be reversed. Our lawmakers should awaken to the fact that operating industries and business, and prosperous farmers, fill the dinner buckets and savings banks of this nation. Our lawmakers should busy themselves on policies for reducing taxation, both state and national. They should study methods for equalizing the tax burden, rather than adopting tax measures which fill the public treasuries by special taxation on special branches of business or industry. They should consider measures which will help enlarge the market for our manufactured agricultural products. There are hundreds of constructive measures on which they can work which will be of benefit to all the people. There is absolutely no excuse for advocating or supporting destructive measures which discourage or unsettle business and prevent investments of capital, to the detriment of the whole nation. The national election decided in November was a wonderful revelation of the ability of the American people to discriminate between sound and unsound doctrines, and better still, to decide great issues along the line of principle interest instead of following personal leadership. Political leaders in state and national affairs should never forget that out of over one hundred million people, less than four per cent voted red and radical tickets. The aggregation of big noise agitators was met by the silent ballots of men and women in the homes and work shops who base their political action upon reading and thinking. Political parties in power in the nation and in the 48 states should study that election and remember that demands for conservative policies, reduction of tax burdens and minimizing the volume of freak legislation came from every state and that there is no escape from responsibility for any policies affecting the insurance business offer a prolific field for experimenting. Mining, lumbering, and oil are three great primary industries that have been sepecial targets for legislative attention. Many other industries might be added to this list. Legislative activity in the past has been largely directed against those industries which employ the greatest number of workmen, pay out the most in wages and taxes and keep the business of this nation going. In its final report as chief of staff, General Pershing warned the country of the danger in ignoring the needs of the army and navy, when he said: "We are down to rock bottom now and no further cut can be made without endangering the whole scheme." He pointed out the urgent necessity of better attention o he army and navy if they are to function along efficient lines. This fact, Secretary Weeks stresses citing evidences of how the military establishment has been crippled by lack of funds, and declaring that the practice can not continue if there is to be reasonable preparation for adequate defense. The truth of the setatements is not denied; it is, however, frequently ignored. The country seems prone to get back into 'the same old negligent ways' which, in the past, have cost it so much in men and money. It has read but not learned its lesson. If it continues in this apathetic mood, some day it will surely pay the price. Aircraft, for example, are essential to national defense; and, of course, an organized aircraft industry is essential to the production of efficient planes. Secretary Weeks, in his report already quoted says further: It was 11 months after April 6, 1917, before an American-made airplane reached France, and the first ones—a quadron of 18 planes—flew over the front on August 2, 1918. Before November 11, only 628 planes had been sent as far as the front. We cannot improvise an air service, and yet it is indispensable that we be reasonably strong in aircraft. The army is now pitifully weak. On July 1, 1924 it had 988 planes, of which 686 were war produced. At the same time, in 1926 it will have only 289 of which only 187 will be, in any sense, modern. Eighty per cent of the army planes now in use are of an obsolescent training type and entirely unsuited to combat service. The requirement for an adequate peace-time establishment is 1,655. America gave birth to the heavier than air machine. It is now last among the major powers in its use. Even in these days when war is mistakenly spoken of as something which never can come again, that is something to think about. Now, let us pass to our under-strength navy. Secretary Wilbur's first annual retort raises no major question of naval policy. The actual strength of the fleet and its relation with favor upon them from the Automobile California that sort of reasonable on qualifications on motor vehicles. In where the subject has sideration, there is strong sentiment in quiring examination censes that will stay critical and mental reevaluators of motor vehicles. The aggregation of big noise agitators was met by the silent ballots of men and women in the homes and work shops who base their political action upon reading and thinking. Political parties in power in the nation and in the 48 states should study that election and remember that demands for conservative policies, reduction of tax burdens and minimizing the volume of freak legislation come from every state and that there is no escape from responsibility for any political party or individual for failure to heed the mandate of the American people on these vital issues. Get the constructive viewpoint, Mr. Lawmaker. Realize that your duty to your state and nation is greater than your duty to any political constituency. You have the opportunity of a lifetime to help carry the United States forward as the greatest nation in the world. Measure up to your position instead of falling below what your fellow countrymen expect, or be prepared to accept the sternest rebukes from the plain citizens of our country. LET'S BE PREPARED Secretary Weeks, in his interesting annual report, brings out, in striking manner, the fact that, because Congress will not provide money for adequate quarters, 40,000 American troops are living under tents or other unsuitable shelter the year round. He explains that many commands present a ragged unkempt appearance because proper uniforms are not furnished. So the accompanying cartoon is not purely allegorical. When stinginess extends even to clothing and shelter for the nation's guardians, the case has become extreme. Kipling put into verse, and he might as well have been writing of the American America gave birth to the heavier than air machine. It is now last among the major powers in its use. Even in these days when war is mistakenly spoken of as something which never can come again, that is something to think about. Now, let us pass to our understrength navy. Secretary Wilbur's first annual retort raises no major question of naval policy. The actual strength of the fleet and its relation to the treaty ratio is still somewhat indeterminate. It is, however, well known that our naval forces are still sadly lacking in modern air craft. In its national platform for 1924, the republican party declared in favor of the maintenance of the navy at full treaty strength. That is the administration's program, and the next congress will be expected to live up to it. Secretary Wilbur makes no definite construction recommendations; but he does urge the building up of a personnel. The navy, he explains, is losing too many officers by resignation. There are not enough trained officers of rank above ensign or junior grade lieutenant to go around. The enlisted personnel of $6,000 will have to be increased by 3,000 for the year 1925-6, in which the Saratoga and the Lexington, battle cruisers converted into aircraft carriers, will go into commission. Evidently, more officers are needed. No peace-time work, either of army or navy, is more important than the maintenance of a first-class, high-grade personnel. We should keep faith with England and Japan by fully living UP to the treaty ratio, with the same diligence which they employ. No man or party of men is a thousandth part as important as is national defense—and national defense means national security. Coincident with $750,000,000 paid to erect in the past year estimate that in 1925 ed approximately additional foreign ships total of foreign held by Americans, titles held by the oth than nine billion dlic loans in foreign d floated in the United past year, and in alm ANAHEIM GAZETTE Men insure their chattels. Too often they neglect to insure their country. Let us determine to preserve the two great American organizations—the Army and Navy—that have made us what we are and will keep us what we are. Let's keep the guard at our gates as well-equipped as the premises he is posted to defend. LEGION NOTES The American Legion has asked Congress to increase the army appropriation for the organized reserves from $3,320,000 as proposed by the director of the budget to $7,000,000. The Legion believes that at least $30,000 reserve officers should receive training each year. The present appropriation will provide training for only 15,000 of the 80,000 reserve officers Legion officere claim. William Henry; Cardinal O'Connell; John Barton Payne, Chairman of the American Red Cross; Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, president general of the Daughters of the American Revolution and Richard F. Grant, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, have accepted membership on the honorary committee for the $5,000,000 American Legion Endowment fund to be used in work for disabled veterans and orphan of the world war and in child welfare work in general. State Commander, Nathan F. Coombs of the California Legionaires, has received the above word from National Headquarters. President Calvin Coolidge heads the committee and Vice-President-elect, Charles G. Daws, a Legion member, is vice-chairman. George Miller, former vice-commander of the American Legion in California, is to confer with Frank Smith the loan has quickly sold. All of this shows that the people of the United States, like their government, have no spirit of isolation. They are prosperous and willing to invest in foreign securities if there seems a reasonable degree of safety. The United States has confidence in the future of the world and of the nations which compose it. By their foreign investments the American people are beating on their judgment in the ultimate restoration of the world to prosperity of revived peace-time activities. The trouble with a "model husband" is that he so often is. NOTICE TO CREDITORS ESTATE OF MARIE C. SCHULTE, Deceased.

Police officers in the beach cities are doing their best to cooperate with the Parent-Teachers Associations and the Automobile Club of Southern California in discouraging the practice of youngsters riding bicycles using moving vehicles for their propelling power. The casualty records show that a high percentage of accidents result from this cause. Frequently the offending child is hidden from the view of the vehicle driver, placing the responsibility on the youngster. It is urged that every possible means be used to discourage this growing practice. Many of the civic organizations throughout this section are looking with favor upon the announcement from the Automobile Club of Southen California that it favored some sort of reasonable legislation bearing on qualifications of persons driving motor vehicles. In the organizations where the subject has been given consideration, there is developing a strong sentiment in favor of a law requiring examination for drivers' licenses that will standardize the physical and mental requirements for operators of motor vehicles.

In pursuance of a resolution of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange, California, adopted November 26, 1924, directing this notice, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the said Board will receive at its office at the Court House at Santa Ana, at or before the hour of 11 o'clock A.M. of December 16, 1924, sealed bids or proposals for the grading and graveling of Brookhurst Avenue from Lincoln Avenue three quarters (3-4) of a mile south. Bids must be made on the form provided for the purpose, addressed to the Board of Supervisors, Orange County, California, marked "Bid for the Grading and Graveling of Brookhurst Avenue." The work to be done in accordance with the profiles, plans and specifications adopted by the Board of Supervisors, on file in the office of said Board and in the office of the County Superintendent of Highways in the Hall of Records. The bidder must submit with his proposal a satisfactory check certified by a responsible bank and payable to the order of Orange County, or a bidder's bond for an amount not less than five (5) per cent of the aggregate sum of the bid, as a guarantee that the bidder will enter into the proposed contract if the same is awarded to him, and in event of failure to enter into such contract said check or bond shall become the property of the County. The amount of the bond to be given to secure a faithful performance of the contract of said work shall be twenty-five (25) per cent, of the concrete price thereof, and an additional bond in an amount equal to fifty (50) per cent of the contract price for said work shall be given to secure the payment 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 which may be entered into between him and the said County for the con- from the Automobile Club of Southern California that it favored some sort of reasonable legislation bearing on qualifications of persons driving motor vehicles. In the organizations where the subject has been given consideration, there is developing a strong sentiment in favor of a law requiring examination for drivers' licenses that will standardize the physical and mental requirements for operators of motor vehicles. Such legislation has been adopted in a number of eastern states and there is a decided opinion prevailing over the country that incompetent persons should not be allowed to hold drivers' licenses. Traffic over the main highways of California has increased so rapidly that every precaution is needed to keep accidents at a minimum, according to the figures of the Automobile Club of Southern California. The increase in traffic from 1920 to 1922 was 47 per cent. A similar increase was registered from 1922 to 1924 in the traffic census completed some time ago. Further increases may be expected as the state develops so that the problem of keeping the highways safe constantly is becoming more complicated and calls for the best thought. Coincident with the estimate of $750,000,000 paid to Americans in interest in the past year, there is also the estimate that in 1924 Americans invested approximately a billion dollars in additional foreign securities, bringing the total of foreign securities now held by Americans, exclusive of securities held by the government to more than nine billion dollars. Many public loans in foreign countries have been floated in the United States in the past year; and in almost every instance price thereof, and an additional bond in an amount equal to fifty (50) per cent of the contract price for said work shall be given to secure the payment 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 which may be entered into between him and the said County for the construction of said road. Copies will be furnished intending 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 reserve 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. BACKS, County Clerk. 11-27-t3.
