PROTECTIVE POLICY GETS VOTE OF CONFIDENCE A large factor in the 1924 election result, seldom mentioned, was the advocacy of the protective tariff policy by the Republican party, and the remarkably successful operations of the present protective tariff law. Heary Clay gave the name "The American policy" to the protective policy—the policy of giving Americans first chance in the American market, of equitizing production costs, mostly labor costs at home and abroad, by a protective tariff, and thus developing American resources and preserving American enterprise and labor. The American people follow the lead of Washington and Lincoln in being protectionists, and recognize the fact that now, more than ever, the protective principle is essential to the maintenance of American prosperity. This policy, too, they recognise as a measure of social justice. Under the policy of free entry of foreign-made goods into our markets a war of standards begins—a war between the American standard of living and the foreign standard of living—a war in which alien capitalism is armed with a deadly weapon of cheapness attained at the sacrifice of human values. John W. Davis, in his campaign, bore down heavily upon the tariff issue. He promised a tariff more seriously competitive—this at a time when huge importations of foreign-made goods under the existing tariff methoded the welfare of American productive industry. Senator La Follette assailed the existing tariff law, and sought to make the American farmer believe that he had no interest in protection for his products or in a tariff law which keeps the wheels of American industry moving and thus workmen's compensation acts for personal injuries or sickness, plus the amount of damages received, whether by suit or agreement, on account of such injuries or sickness. Amounts received as compensation, family allotments and allowances under the provisions of the war risk insurance and the vocational rehabilitation acts. Pensions from the United States for the services of the beneficiary or another in the military or naval service in time of war. A bonus paid by a state to its rest.

Senator La Follette assaulted the existing tariff law, and sought to make the American farmer believe that he had no interest in protection for his products or in a tariff law which keeps the wheels of American industry moving and thus provides for the American farmer a profitable near at home market. The Republican national platform of 1924 declared unequivocally for the protective tariff principle and nominated for President a staunch protectionist. Such a declaration and such a candidate were assets of untold value to the Republican party in the recently concluded campaign. California is one of the state, counted doubtful by the political sooth-sayers in the recent campaign, which was swung into the Republican column on the tariff issue. California produces each year $440,000,000 worth of horticultural and agricultural products, all of which are protected under the existing tariff law. California sells most of her lemon crop on the eastern seaboard. It costs $1.47 to ship a crate of lemons from California to New York, and 47 cents to freight a crate from Sicily to New York. Sicily has the advantage of labor costs not more than one-third those prevailing in California. Without a protective tariff the California lemon industry would go out of business, and all the money spent for lemons would go out of the country. Consequently, there were lemons for Davis and La Follette in California on election day.

TAX EXEMPTION Many taxpayers include in their income tax returns items that are specifically exempt from taxation," declared Collector of Internal Revenue Rex B. Goodcell yesterday. The collector itemized a series of exemptions to which taxpayers are entitled. Careful study of these allowances will save those who file returns for 1924 thousands of dollars. Collector Goodcell said. The items that are specifically exempt from taxation follow: Proceeds of life insurance policies paid upon the death of the insured. The value of property acquired by gift, bequest, devise or descent. The income from such property, however, is taxable. Returns of premiums on life insurance, endowment, or annuity contracts. Amounts received through accident or health insurance, or under dents who served in the military or naval services during the war with Germany. Allowances, whether paid by the government or a person to one who performed no duties, as, for example, to a widow in recognition of the services rendered by her husband, are considered gratuities or gifts, and are not taxable. The rental value of a dwelling and appurtenances thereof furnished a minister of the gospel as part of his compensation is exempt from taxation. Dividends of interest, not in excess of $300, received by individuals during the years 1922 to 1926, inclusive, from domestic building and loan associations, substantially all of the business of which is making loans to members, are exempt from tax. Salaries paid by a state, county or city to its officers or employees, except as regards the operation of certain public utilities. "Taxpayers who prepare and file their income tax returns for the year 1924 during January have a decided advantage over procrastinators," Collector Goodcell declared. "A little time and thought now in the preparation of a return is excellent insurance against errors, which result to the detriment of taxpayer and government alike." The people of Florida, at the recent election, adopted a constitutional amendment prohibiting the levying of state income taxes, and this with the Hon. William Jennings Bryan right in their midst.

Franzen X REASONS SET FORTH IN RECALL PETITION DEMANDING THE RECALL OF GODFREY J. STOCK The statement of the grounds on which the removal or recall is sought is as follows: (1) Wilfully refusing to sign legitimate demands against the City of Anaheim, as a member of the Finance Committee of the Board of Trustees of said City, in payment of expenses in enforcement of the Liquor Ordinance. (2) Failure to cooperate with the other members of the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim in conduct of the affairs of the City. (3) Generally incompetent to serve as City Trustee because of indifference and neglect of duties. REASONS GIVEN BY GOFREY J. STOCK TO JUSTIFY HIS COURSE IN OFFICE FIRST: It is stated that as a member of the Finance Committee I wilfully refused to sign legitimate demands against the City in payment REASONS GIVEN BY GOFREY J. STOCK TO JUSTIFY HIS COURSE IN OFFICE FIRST: It is stated that as a member of the Finance Committee I willfully refused to sign legitimate demands against the City in payment of expenses on account of enforcement of the liquor ordinance. I refused to approve illegal demands which were not itemized as required by law and did not contain the name of the person who served the City or the character of his services and that the Taxpayer's money should not be spent excepting on demand disclosing the cause of the expenditure, and by whom the money was originally earned or claimed. SECOND: It is stated that I failed to co-operate with other members of the Board of Trustees. The complaint here made is because I refused to endorse their policy, which has not been an open policy, but adopted by them in secret so far as I have been able to learn. THIRD: It is charged that I am generally incompetent because of indifference and neglect of duties. This statement is untrue. I have faithfully discharged every duty as City Trustee. Shall Godfrey J.
