The motor car thief is usually an up-to-date individual who finds in his chosen profession ample scope for the development of his criminal genius. The motor car itself furnishes quick transportation to and away from the scene of the crime and many individuals with the curious warp of mentality that induces law-breaking find a keen delight in matching their wits with the officers who enforce the law. A short time ago a motor car thief was apprehended by the theft bureau operatives who had acted as a leader in an organized gang. After his various alliases were traced, it was discovered that he had been at one time a champion chess player, he added as a world’s title-holder. He was a colleague with a keen analytical skill. Several cases which have come up in that state where the evidence was clear and where the accused plead guilty, resulted in the levy of normal fines of $25 to $100 for the theft of the car in question. The Pacific coast states have an enviable record in the recovery of stolen automobiles. Ninety-eight and one-half per cent of the cars stolen in San Francisco are recovered, while the proximity of Los Angeles to the Mexican border reduced the percentage in that city to 83 per cent. Seattle suffers from the number of cars taken over the Canadian border and is rated at 88 per cent, while Spokane last year had a 100 per cent record and Portland a 93 per cent record in the recovery of stolen cars. Last summer the theft bureau of the National Automobile Club, in cooperation with the police authorities of Southern California, succeeded in recovering 12 stolen cars from Mexico, some of which were insured and some not insured, all of which were stolen in Imperial valley. One of the interesting cases that came to light last week was the discovery of the $20,000 car which figured in the Katz murder trial in Los Angeles last year. On information from Los Angeles police headquarters, the theft bureau stationed representatives at Stockton, Sacramento, Oakland and San Francisco to keep watch for the arrival of the car in question, with the result that 24 hours after the machine had been placed in a San Francisco garage it was in the hands of the police and the man who drove it from Los Angeles was in the city prison.

LET FAR The vice-president Council of the Marketing Association former asks of A short time ago a motor car thief was apprehended by the theft bureau operatives who had acted as a leader in an organized gang. After his various aliases were traced, it was discovered that he had been at one time a champion chess player, he called a world’s title-holder. He was a college graduate with a keen analytical mind but some queer derangement of his mental processes had led him to find a greater attraction without the law than within. In some states, the thieves are a great political power in such as the “bosses” share in the spoils. Life is held to be of less intrinsic value than the motor car that figures in the case and the investigator that interferes does so at the risk of being blackjacked or murdered in some out of the way location. A short time ago in one of the western states, an investigator was sent out to secure information on the operations of a gang of thieves. On his arrival in the town where he was to make his headquarters, he found everyone seemingly friendly dispositioned. His suspicions were aroused but he finally accepted on invitation from a casual acquaintance to spend the day duck hunting. Four men made up the expedition, and when the hunting grounds were reached the party divided. Two going one way and two another. The youth who accompanied the investigator had beer assigned the task of notting his companion out of the way through “accidental” discharge of his shotgun. But the youth was not an old hand at the game and, left alone with the investigator, confessed the plan and assisted in the latter’s escape. In some localities in Montana the toxin of the stolen car game seems to have entered into the blood of the majority of the people living in the district which, so far as law and order are concerned, might be mapped out as outside the corporate limits of the United States. To buy a stolen car knowing it to be stolen, is no crime in their eyes. Every move possible is made to block the efforts of law enforcement officers in identifying stolen automobiles and returning them to their rightful owners. The only time, in the eyes of the people of this particular district, is to be caught. It is a common procedure for an order. TAXPAYERS TO DRAFT GOVERNOR Governor Richardson has never said that he would run for re-election; he has not said that he would not run. He has been busy sawing wood and attending to the people’s business and has not thought of politics. It is true that the governor has no political machine; does not want one, and will not have one. He is not worried about his political future. Neither do these monumental fabricators bother him in the least. These yellow sauciced kids, whose stupendous misfortune astounds the world, are so narrow that their ears rub. Their only claim to ignoble fame is their lassitudinous ponderosity. In their insipid ignorance and malicious misrepresentation of the governor, they will unconsciously cause his renunciation and re-election by such a staggering majority that they will be forced to tell the truth—after the votes are counted—and that will kill them. The taxpayers will attend to Governor Richardson’s future by drafting him for four years more. He has never failed the people and he will not now. His vote will greatly exceed the vote of confidence given him in 1922. The taxpayers are more than satisfied. The opposition to the governor should get onto themselves and come in out of the wet before they make themselves still more ridiculous. Every “rap” they give the governor is a boost and a vote. NEW COUNTY ASSOCIATION Los Angeles has a new organization which has proved of interest and value to every improvement association in the county. It is called the Affiliated Improvement Association of Los Angeles last year. On information from Los Angeles police headquarters, the theft bureau stationed representatives at Stockton, Sacramento, Oakland and San Francisco to keep watch for the arrival of the car in question, with the result that 24 hours after the machine had been placed in a San Francisco garage it was in the hands of the police and the man who drove it from Los Angeles was in the city prison. The stories of real life are every bit as full of thrills and interest as those that find their way into the plots of the stort story writers and the novelists.

To buy a stolen car, knowing it to be stolen, is no crime in their eyes. Every move possible is made to block the efforts of law enforcement officers in identifying stolen automobiles and returning them to their rightful owners. The only time, in the eyes of the people of this particular district, is to be caught. It is a common procedure for an order for a car to be placed with an agent of the theft gang who usually is a person of recognized importance in the community. The order is usually for the delivery of the special make and type of car within a certain period, the cars to be "made safe"; that is, to have all means of identification removed. And the car is always delivered on time. Investigators have found in many communities that men in respectable walks of life are in league with the thieves. Bankers, police officials, merchants, ranchers, all derive a revenue from the operations of the various rings, and work with the thieves in attaining the end desired. The automobile laws of Montana are inadequate as applied to the automobile theft situation. There is no difficulty in that state in securing a license for any car by any person under any name. Permits are issued freely and without investigation as to the legal ownership of the car or its possibility of being a stolen vehicle. Officers investigating alleged thefts are seriously handicapped by being unable to examine cars under suspicion. The person in possession stands on what he terms his legal rights and defies the officer to investigate the car. The stolen car buyer's ring is well organized, comprises the supposedly representative citizens of the community and rallies to its aid the best legal counsel. NEW COUNTY ASSOCIATION Los Angeles has a new organization which has proved of interest and value to every improvement association in the county. It is called the Affiliated Improvement Association of Los Angeles County. This organization was formed about six months ago by representatives of the various improvement associations in the country, and is rapidly taking the lead in improvement matters. It is made up of delegates from the various local improvement associations and civic clubs and the scope of its activities is broad, covering practically every phase of the work for general civic improvement. Its program in no way interferes with the work of any local association, nor is there any taint of political activity on its part. The Affiliated Improvement Association of Los Angeles County meets regularly the first Monday night of every month at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce building, Broadway and Twelfth street, at which meeting anyone interested in improvement work is invited. All improvement bodies and civic organizations are invited to send representatives to these public meetings, or to communicate with the secretary, Stephen Smoot, 4798 Converse street, Los Angeles, at any time they have matters they wish to place before this organization. BABES IN THE WOODS Just as children are the men and women of tomorrow, so are the little seedling trees the forests of tomorrow. As we devote thought to the protection and welfare of our future citizens, so must we devote thought to ourerner should get onto themselves and come in out of the wet before they make themselves still more ridiculous. Every "rap" they give the governor is a boost and a vote. STATES FIGHT THEIR Among other clon, there is a repeal of all heritance taxes the states need they yield.

To many people, reforestation means shade or roadside tree planting. "Where can we plant some trees?" they ask. Yet they give little thought to forest fires on cut-over land, which are preventing nature from growing millions of little seedlings. The forester strives always for natural reproduction, where it is at all possible. Planting on a large scale is expensive, uncertain and in many cases unnecessary. Every forest crop should be harvested so that a new crop will grow naturally. Various regions have different requirements. In the Douglas fir region of the Pacific Northwest, a modified system of clear cutting and slash burning are proper. In the Sierra Nevada mountains, in the yellow pine and sugar pine belts, trees are carefully marked for cutting on all national forest timber sales, and the brush piled and burned. Seed trees and young growth must not be harmed. But in every case, the "babes in the woods," the young trees, must be carefully protected from fire. If they are burned, hand planting is often necessary—hard work and costly. Let's stamp out the idea that "fires on cut-over land do no harm." Such fires are doing the most serious kind of damage. They are hindering natural reforestation and are burning your future wealth. LET FARMERS ALONE The vice-president of the National Council of the Farmers' Co-operative Marketing Association said, "All the farmer asks of congress is to be al- give congress power to enact labor laws and allow the states to provide reasonable protection for children and families in this field. The movement of the states to assert their rights against double taxation in any form is a protest against all new federal powers of taxation. In asserting their rights in this matter in peace times, the states are only saying that accumulated capital shall not be dissipated and scattered by federal interference. By the same token, the states are repeating Webster's dictum that "the power to tax is the power to destroy," and unless a check is placed upon congress and the bureaus which it creates, the state governments will be reduced to unimportant administrative units.

The organization unanimously endorsed him. Price fixing was an utter failure from the farmers' standpoint, as absurd as fixing a uniform leg or waist measure for farmers' pants. Preferential farm loans in a country professing equality are doubtful blessings. The theory that: "He who steals for you will also steal from you," bobs up every time any man gets a special favor. What the farmer most wants is industrial peace; there is no war in his own field—the wars are carried on somewhere else, and he is the goat. Political nostrum without count have been proposed for farm relief by self-appointed expert Moseses without any real farm mandate; mostly they were mere clever tries for public notoriety or public jobs. That does not say the farmer is not interested in good legislation, on the contrary, no one is more vitally affected. He needs better distribution, but so, too, do the people who must eat farm products. He needs to know more about the advantages of diversified farming. Also he needs to apply more business-like methods to many farm operations. He is learning all the time. He is about the gamest sportsman there is in any industry. Just give him a chance, let him alone without a lot of foolish volunteer uplifting, and he will come through and feed the world.

The contract for decoration was awarded to the Allen decorators of Hollywood, and their work in the past is a guarantee that this year's effort will surpass any decorative scheme ever attempted under canvas. STATES FIGHT FOR THEIR POLITICAL RIGHTS Among other forms of tax reduction, there is a strong movement for repeal of all federal estate and inheritance taxes on the ground that the states need all the revenue which they yield. A tax on capital or estates is only justified by the necessities of war, and in times of peace should be abolished as rapidly as possible. The states are fighting for their existence and their political rights on the subject of taxation as conceived by the founders of our government. This was shown in the refusal to Mr. John Wick No matter how long you have been sick or how much you have suffered, you must not give up hope. Mr. John Wick, of Monomonee Falls, Wisconsin, did not and is a well man today. In September, 1918, he wrote: "I have been a user of Pe-ru-na for nearly twenty years. I had catarrh of the stomach for ten years. Nothing did me any good. I grew worse until a friend advised me to try Pe-ru-na. While using the first bottle, I felt I had found the right medicine. I am entirely cured. My weight was down to 135 pounds and now I weigh 193 pounds. I have used very little medicine for the last ten years." The condition known as catarrh is not confined to the nose and throat. It may be found wherever there are nocess membranes and is responsible for a multitude of troubles. Coughs and colds are catarrhal as well as stomach and bowel disorders. Do as John Wick did. Keep Pe-ru-na in the house. It stimulates digestion, aids in throwing off the poisonous secretions, enriches the blood, increases the resistance to disease and promotes good health generally. It is upon having genuine Pe-ru-na either tablet or liquid dealer has it. the said County for the construction of said work. 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.
