Shake-Up Comes in Grammar School Board (Continued from Page One) If anything happened before the paper went to press he would advise us covering the matter. Mr. Gibbs, in answer to a question, stated that he had not, as clerk of the board, received Mr. Smith's resignation and added that he did not know whether that gentleman would resign or not. The three resignations followed one another the following morning. Mr. Metcalf's resignation created very little surprise, for it is known he has been recently absent from the city much of the time at his ranch in San Diego county, where he and a number of associates are improving a 540-acre tract, planting it to alfalfa and developing water. Mr. Stoop's resignation followed as a matter of course, for he has been in close association with Mr. Metcalf and has followed his advice in the school board for upwards of a year. County School Superintendent Mitchell, when called on the telephone admitted that the two resignations had been submitted to him, but said he would make no appointments until the first of July. To the suggestion that matters be held in abeyance until Mr. Gibbs' return, he readily assented and expressed himself as being of the opinion that that gentleman's desires regarding associates on the board be given careful attention. That the county school superintendent will appoint none but the very best qualified persons for the place is beyond all dispute. It has been suggested by a number of friends of the schools that no petitions be placed in circulation and that no unseemly scramble ensue for the offices. The plan suggested is probably that a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce may be called, attended by ladies and gentlemen interested in the schools and that two suitable persons be selected thereat; whom Mr. Mitchell will undoubtedly appoint to the office. However, according to his iden, matters should be held in abeyance pending the return of Mr. Gibbs, who will probably have some suggestions to offer in the matter under consideration. Rumors are in circulation freely about allowed false gods until some of the schoolhouses far and near resemble haunted habitat. The trouble with the men and women of the country is that they take no interest in our public schools. They do not take the trouble to go to school elections and they do not vote at such elections. The recent school election in this city, when people stood in line until 9 o'clock at night to vote was in distinguished contrast to this state of affairs. The men and women of the nation have been asleep at the switch, but they are awakening in their power and they are competent and anxious to right this wrong. The present board of trustees will have the power to appoint teachers for the ensuing year. The school law provides that teachers must be re-appointed on June 10 of each year or their re-appointment automatically follows. If teachers are to be dismissed, such dismissal must occur not later than June 10 of each year. Mr. Smith said yesterday that the board of trustees would probably await the return of Mr. Gibbs before announcing the new teachers. When a woman says no, she expects a man to conex her to say yes.

However, according to his iden, matters should be held in abeyance, pending the return of Mr. Gibbs, who will probably have some suggestions to offer in the matter under consideration. Rumors are in circulation freely about town and have been for several weeks past, that other resignations in the faculties of the grammar schools will be forthcoming. A great deal of dissatisfaction has existed concerning our schools and the recent school elections both in the high and grammar grades at which the largest vote ever polled a such elections in this city was a direct result of this state of affairs. The organizations of women's clubs throughout California and the nation are directly due to the prevalence of the teaching of communism in our public schools. The patriotic women of the city have heard the call a club has been organized and meetings held which have been addressed by women of this city as well as from Los Angeles. Whte teachers in our public schools should not the seeds of communism, of sovietism and La Follettism is entirely beyond comprehension. These things have been done in California and elsewhere threout the Union, and teachers have declared that the United States is the most corruptly governed country on earth. These teachers are of course not native here, and one does not have to go far afield to hear the statement emphatically made that it is time for these birds to go. Other teachers have declared that, while they regarded La Follette as the greatest living American, they would not dane vote for him, for power of the banks, of the capitalistic class, of Wall Street would, in that event, plunge this country into such a direful panic as to result in misery and suffering to millions of the people. There have been other offenses, and it is for this reason that the patriotism of the women of California has been stirred as never before.

James Irvine, Jr., gave them what was agreed to be the best answer presented to this question. Irvine had listened throughout the debate, but arose when no one else seemed ready to inform the farmers just how they would benefit. Irvine assured Seebers that he, too, was a farmer, as well as a harbor commissioner, and appreciated the difficulties and burdens of the farmer. He admitted that the farmers had been having a hard time and went further, to say that the farmers, including the Irvines, were "badly bent." Also they usually bore the brunt of tax burdens, he agreed. "That is just the reason that I, as a farmer, want to see this harbor built. I want the farmers to get some help with this matter of paying taxes," Irvine declared. "I doubt whether we'll get any saving in freight or hauling over San Pedro. That isn't the point with the farmers. What we want from that harbor is increased wealth and assessed valuation in the form of improvements, such as new industries. There's where the farmer gets some help and relief from tax paying. We don't want the land to pay all the taxes. We want more personal property taxes, that come from the establishment of industries." The supervisors on Tuesday again postponed the matter of calling a bond election until June 2. Pioneer of County Dies at Santa Ana J. P. Williams Passes Away at the Age of 90 Years J. P.
