County Y. M. C. A. To Hold Meeting 'Get Acquainted' Session Staged for June 26 A joint meeting of county Y. M. C. A. directors and the Orange county Y. M. C. A. committee will be held in the Santa Ana "Y." Friday, June 26, according to decision reached at the regular business session of the county executive committee. A dinner will be served at the joint meeting, it was declared by Secretary Ralph C. Smedley, and the wives of those attending will be welcome. The purpose of the joint meeting will be to aid the workers from the various parts of the county to get acquainted with one another and to plan for further co-operation and better work among the four organized city associations, it was declared. It is expected that a large representation of Y. M. C. A. workers from all parts of the county will be present. Special plans are being made for the program by a committee consisting of John H. Rudd of Anaheim, E. C. Basten of Placentia and J. G. Allen of Garden Grove. Among other items which engaged the attention of the county committee was the matter of a formal vote of appreciation to the Lions clubs of the county for their action in undertaking to erect a building to be known as the "Lions' lodge," at the county Y. M. C. A. boys' camp, in the San Bernardino mountains. The committee also gave approval to plans for further improvement of the cabin at Camp Lewis, in Santiago canyon, which is to be made available as a "family" camp for the summer, in addition to its use by groups of boys and girls. M. R. Beebe of Anaheim is chairman of the county committee, and L. G. Alen of Garden Grove is secretary. SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS Forty-two Trains Of Boosters Leave Setting out from Los Angeles May 22 with the opening of the back-East summer excursions, the Santa Fe operated 15 trains the first day, and nine trains each day thereafter to and including May 25, making a total of 42 trains to depart for the East in four days. Eight sections of the California Limited left for Chicago on May 22. The fact that practically all these passengers went away on round-trip tickets means literally 7000 boosters—Californians proud of their state and what it has to offer the tourist and homeseeker—will spread the good news wherever they go during the coming summer, thus adding many millions of dollars in direct publicity for this state. This is the expression made by James B. Duffy, general passenger agent of the Santa Fe. "The back-East round-trip tickets good for return until October 31, should be worth millions to California in the form of direct advertising," said Mr. Duffy. "All Californians naturally are boosters, and when they get back east with friends and relatives, and wherever they go, they will have nothing but praise for their state, the excellent conditions of crops and all that pertains to the success, prosperity and pleasure of the more than 4,000,000 people who now live within the boundaries of California." "A majority of these people, East-bound, will talk some friend or relative into either coming back with them, or the contact will be so made that the easterner will be sure to follow this fall anyway, so that there is no estimate of the value of this sort of publicity." While the East-bound travel is starting off with more trains than were operated with the opening of the season last year, the rates in effect this way also started the movement off with a bang," said the passenger official. More than 4000 tourists were landed in Los Angeles over Santa Fe trains during the first four days of the excursion season, which opened for West-bound MINUTES WATCH The regular meet directors of the A Company was held Tuffree, Miller, Rust present at reel Director Phamene pipe line through that leads to the pairing.

More than 4000 tourists were landed in Los Angeles over Santa Fe trains during the first four days of the excursion season, which opened for West-bound travel May 15. This is said to be holding up remarkably well, and is expected to result in a good business throughout the summer, favored by very fine weather and good crop conditions all over the state. CREDIT FOR THE WRIGHTS No or... who has brought a great invention to perfection has escaped the challenge of those who have claimed that they had made plans which would have effected the same purpose. After all, while the ploneers in any field of invention are entitled to credit, it is the man who places the perfected product at the service of humanity who is entitled to the laurel wreath. The Smithsonian Institution has offered Orville Wright by exhibiting at Washington the plane devised by Dr. Langley; late director of the institution, with a placard stating that Langley's was the first machine capable of flight. Since flying has become a practical science, the Langley machine was shown to be canable of flight. The fact remains, however, that it did not fly, and it was a number of years before the Wright brothers conducted their successful experiments at Kittyhawk, North Carolina. Dr. Langley is entitled to the credit involved in advancing the science of aeronautics. He is not, however, the man who made an aeroplane fly, and there must have been some reason for this involved in the mechanism of the machine or the capacity of the inventor to make practical use of what he had developed. The effort on the part of an American institution devoted to seclence to discredit or minimize the work of the Ohio youths who made the aeroplane a going proposition is an unworthy one. Those who contribute to the advancement of science and the progress of the world, as the Wright brothers did, should receive full measure of honor due them, and first to pay that honor should be the public scientific institutions of the country. The controversy which has arisen as the result of the apparent effort of the authorities of the Smithsonian Institution to detract from the credit due two great Americans is an unfortunate one.

The old Jail and Jail equipment will be sold at public auction at the chambers of the board of supervisors of Orange county, at the court house, on the twenty-third day of June, 1925, at 11 a.m. It was ordered that warrant No. 12899 and warrant No. 12899 be canceled for reason that said warrants were a duplicate payment. Resolution was adopted in the matter of the Newport harbor, fixing October 7, 1925, as date of the election when the question of voting bonds for same will be submitted to the people of Orange county. The board adjourned to June 9, 1925, at 10 a.m. GOODCELL REAPPOINTED Rex B. Goodcell was sworn in for a new term as collector of internal revenue yesterday, the oath being administered by Clerk of the United States Court Charles N. Williams. Under instructions from Washington Collector Goodcell's office has been audited by Supervisor Gullickson and a new bond filed and approved by Commissioner Blair. With these technicalities out of the way the collector's old bond was annulled, the new one accepted and the office again transferred to him for another period. Among those who witnessed the administering of the oath to Collector Goodcell were: C. B. Dodd, secretary to Senator Shortridge; Edgar Rice Burroughs, John H. Blair and Sidney Shannon of Bakersfield. Supervisor Gullickson highly commended Collector Goodcell's organization and said that the Southern California bureau was one of the most efficient in the United States. In order to expedite debate in the Senate why wouldn't it be a good idea to let 'em talk at once? Treasury Figures Hint 12 Per Cent Tax Cut Latest figures from the United States treasury hint at a possible reduction of 12 per cent in the income tax bill of the country next year. These figures are based on an incomplete analysis of the tax returns made up to this time. The figures, it is said, will bear out previous estimates that another $200,000,000 may be taken off of Uncle Sam's tax bill. The taxes collected for the March payment are said to exceed by $8,000,000 the estimate made last summer by the treasury department as to what the figures would be. At the same time the collections from the tariff are $5,000,000 greater than was expected, and greater than the collections for the same period of 1924. It was expected that miscellaneous receipts would drop $127,000,000 but now it is thought that the drop will only be $105,000,000. All of these things seem to indicate another substantial reduction in the income taxes. And the decreasing tax rates show that something tangible can be accomplished by governmental economy and good business administration. But after all, the average citizen pays most of his tax not to the federal or even the state government, but to his home community. So that to give complete relief to the average taxpayer we must have economy at home too. The federal government has set the example. It is now up to every good citizen, regardless of party, to see that economy is practiced in the expenditures made by his local government. Witnesses in a lawsuit in New York recently told of the discord in the Democratic campaign headquarters of 1924, which is about as pertinent as discussing the strategy of the battle of Gettysburg. By U. S. SENATOR Patriotism belongs women who feel a science of a nation, industry, and the republic depend on it—that indefinable quality our citizenship freely mind and cleaner any other people in. In the constitution which George Washington uttered these imminent taken no part in the convention, but at its proceedings, he and in tones of sad: "It is too probable propose will be able other dreadful conflict If to please the people ourselves disapprove ward defend our w have a standard to which honest can repair hands of God." Here was true stare was individual countrymanhood. And it is of patriotism, real and every day lives that our obligations to help and so live, that they shall not have died. Men do not spin their philosophical idle fancies. The law have been built up by Human institutions by mere measure and the slow, deliberate MINUTES OF WATER BOARD The regular meeting of the board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company was held with Directors Hale, Tuffree, Miller, Annin, Thamer and Rust present at roll call. Report of the treasurer was read and upon motion, accepted and ordered filed. The report of the finance committee was upon motion, accepted and warrants ordered drawn in payment of the various demands therein recommended. Director Phamar reported that the pipe line through the Anderson property that leads to the waste line needed repairing. Upon motion this was referred to the superintendent with power to act. Mrs. Hoag of Yorba Linda was present regarding some trees that had been flooded by water from the Yorba reservoir. Upon motion, the president was instructed to appoint a committee to investigate this complaint and report at a later meeting. President Hale appointed Director Tuffree, Hansen and Superintendent Wallop on this committee. Mr. Vall representing the farm bureau, was present and requested that this company furnish certain information regarding the amount of water furnished and acreage irrigated by this company. He represented himself as being in the employ of the county board of supervisors. Upon motion by Hansen, seconded by Miller, the president was instructed to appoint a committee to confer with the board of supervisors regarding this request, and report at the next meeting. President Hale appointed Director Miller and Rust and Attorney Head on this committee. They were to meet with the board of supervisors on Tuesday, June 2, at 10 o'clock. W. M. Ward came before the board and requested that this company pipe the open cement ditch along the east line of the property owned by P. C. Curtis, Leonard Hessel and R. S. Gregory, the property owners agreeing to pay one-half of the cost. Upon motion by Annin, seconded by Hansen, this was referred to the ditch committee with The Constitution is an evolution, a growth of expanding thought throughout the ages. In framing the Constitution, the fathers were solicited to make an end of autocracy in every form, and they meant the autocracy of the mob no less than of the crown. They proceeded upon the theory that there should be no arbitrary power in any sovereign single or collective abstract or concrete, and they proclaimed in permanent form that there are certain rights and liberties which never should be subject to encroachment or abridgment by a minority or even by a majority of the people. And why did they do this? Because they established the republic of America with a thousand years of Anglo-Saxon law and liberty behind it. TRIPARTITE GOVERNMENT Without going into the merits of the many bills vetoed or allowed to die by Governor Richardson, nor questioning the reasons for such action in his desire to protect the public welfare as he sees it, the death of so many measures enacted by the legislature raises the question of executive encroachment upon the prerogatives of a co-ordinate and equal branch of the government. The theory of our state government, founded upon that created by the federal constitution of 1787, is that our government is composed of three equal and independent factors, the legislative, which in the federal government is congress and in the state government, the legislature; the executive which is the President and the governor, respectively; the judicial, which is the courts. Each has a distinct and independent function to perform, while each in certain ways has authority in connection with the others, but neither can encroach upon the prerogatives of either of the others or attempt to do its work without destroying the spirit of the constitution. However, there has grown up of late years an increasing dominance of the legislative branch, both in federal and state governments, by the executive branch, that the legislative is losing much of its power. In state governance, Trade Prospering, Says Federal Reserve Board There is a substantial promise of continuing prosperity in the United States, according to the report of the federal reserve board, for 1925, just made public here. The basic industries have increased their output considerably over the figures for the first quarter of 1924 and there has been a big increase in the foreign demand for American goods. The volume of merchandising in the United States has been at a higher level than during the same period last year and the sales of mail order houses and agricultural implement manufacturers show a decided increase over both 1923 and 1924. The payroll of factory workers is still somewhat lower than it was in the first quarter of 1924, but it is increasing steadily over the low point reached in June last year. The increase in the value of our exports is due principally to the export of raw material at higher prices. Exports of cotton have increased nearly 50 per cent since last summer. Exports of copper have increased 17 per cent, and exports of wheat have gained 153 per cent. Among the domestic industries, the manufacturers of automobiles and building materials continue in the van. VICE-PRESIDENT Sees Good Year Vice-President E. J. Engel, who also is a director of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway system, looks for as good a year in production and shipping as 1924. He stated upon arrival here from his Chicago office that business conditions in the Middle West and East are good. This applies to the agricultural and industrial outlook as well, he stated. The official declared there would be no car shortage this year. The Santa Fe is in excellent shape, with a good reserve of refrigerator cars and new Aire Areas.

Earl Campbell.Orange chairman.ofbureau'slegislativecommittee.re- To End Autocracy of Mob as Well as Crown By U. S. SENATOR GUY D. GOFF Patriotism belongs to the men and women who feel and voice the conscience of a nation. The strength, the industry, and the civilization of this republic depend on individual character—that indefinable quality that has made our citizenship freer in body, broader in mind and cleaner in conscience than any other people in the world. In the constitutional convention over which George Washington presided, he uttered these immortal words. He had taken no part in the discussion of the convention, but at the crucial crisis in its proceedings, he arose from his chair and in tones of suppressed emotion, said: "It is too probable that no plan we propose will be adopted; perhaps another dreadful conflict is to be sustained. If to please the people we offer what we ourselves disapprove, how can we afterward defend our work? Let us raise a standard to which the wise and the honest can repair. The event is in the hands of God." Here was true statesmanship. Here was individual courage. Here was true manhood. And it is only by this degree of patriotism, real and personal, in our every day lives that we can discharge our obligations to home and to country and so, live, that they who have died shall not have died in vain. Men do not spin government out of their philosophical reflections or their idle fancies. The ideals of civilization have been built up slowly and carefully. Human institutions are not put together by mere measure and rule. They are the slow, deliberate work of centuries. The latter part of September, will be before the centers this summer, and should have the undivided attention of the center members. Due to the proximity of the next regular directors' meetings to the Fourth of July it was voted to hold the session on July 7, instead of July 2. The farm bureau expects to have 1600 members within a short time. 1587 being on the roster at present, it was reported. It was brought out that the membership at the close of 1924 totaled 1178, and 1535 at the close of 1923. Earl Campbell, Orange chairman of the bureau's legislative committee, reported that agriculture fared exceedingly well at the hands of the recent state legislature, but that Governor Richardson had vetoed many of the measures sponsored by farmers. He stated that the citrus white fly bill, appropriating $40,000 for use in the fight against this pest, had been signed by the governor. The growers will match this with a similar amount, he said. S. E. Sauaby, chairman of the public utility department of the bureau, asserted that several complaints made by Orange county farmers or water and light charges had been referred to the public utility department of the California Farm Bureau federation. Saunby gave a comprehensive report of water conservation meetings attended by him. Farm Advisor Harld E. Wahiberg stated that investigation revealed that there are but few cases of codlin moth in this section. Speaking of the annual summer citrus institute, to be held in the Anaheim high school, June 26 and 27, Wahiberg said that citrus growers from all parts of the Southland will be present. At the request of J. B. Valle, connected with the agricultural department of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, the directors voted to ask the farm centers to assist in preparation of a crop map which Valle is compiling. W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor, announced that steps to stamp out the bean weevil in the southern part of the county are under way. The directors adopted the constitution and by-laws of the Orange County Fair Association, after voting a few minor changes. If the summer girl's costume is weighed in the balance there won't be much wear and tear on the balance.

The background of the plates will be a deep blue, while the figures and letters will be pure white, forming a pleasing combination as well as one easily visible. These colors will be used for regular passenger cars and for pneumatic tired trucks. Solid tired trucks will have red and white plates, the same as this year, except that the order will be reversed so that the background will be white and the characters red.
