BOYSCOUTS CORNER NEWS FROM CAMP RO-KI-LI Immediately after the sunrise cannon had sounded in the morning at Camp Ro-Ki-Li, last Tuesday, the entire camp, with food and utensils packed aboard sturdy burros, left for a four days' hike in regular he-man style. Their first objective was Dry Lake, 10,000 feet above sea level. Then a little side trip to the top of Southern California on old Mount San Gorgonio, commonly called Gray Back. From Dry Lake they hiked around to the base of Mount Ro-Ki-Li, at the base of which is one of the most picturesque spots in all the hills, called Dollar Lake, where very few people have ever been. It was on the shore of this lake last year that Scouts found the fresh skins of three deer and proceeded to track the poachers who had killed them for two days, and finally located them, reported to the forestry officials, who caused the arrest of the poachers. After camp had been made, every fellow cooking his own food, making his own bed and caring for himself, a good night's rest was enjoyed. Early Thursday morning, the entire camp climbed to the top of Mount Ro-Ki-Li with the exception of one Scout, who had a sore toe, and another Scout who remained to take care of him. Guy H. Benton, formerly Scoutmaster at Yorba Linda, was the first to return to camp, having made the record of going to the top of Ro-Ki-Li and back in one hour, taking 50 minutes for the up trip and 10-minutes for the down trip. Snowbanks came clear to the edge of Little Dollar Lake, which accounts for the rapid trip down. Upon arriving at camp, Benton found that infection had set in on the toe of the boy who had been left behind, so by means of a pack burro and Ford the boy was brought down, given treatment and delivered at his home that same night. Every precaution is taken in camp to prevent illness of any kind, but if any serious illness occurs, facilities are always maintained for getting the boy less the city lay on that long, hot morning. This was the situation that confronted Boy Scouts in Marshalltown, Iowa, on June 5. Somewhere in the suction line from the city tanks to the well field there was a leak. At 6 o'clock one night the city was entirely cut off from its water supply. It awoke next morning to real peril. Water was pumped into hydrants from the river by the fire company, but this water was unfit for drinking. It had to be carefully sterilized. However, the townpeople must drink. Then the Boy Scouts did their good turn. As fast as the sterilized water could be hauled in tanks to convenient places in the streets, the boys mounted guard. They worked in three-hour shifts, handling the crowds, protecting the open top of the tank with cloth covers from impurities, keeping the condition sanitary around the tanks. This guard duty was continued until the leak was repaired and Marshalltown returned to normalcy. NATIONAL TAX REDUCTION Secretary of the Treasury Mellon is bravely going before the people with his battle for tax reduction, and a late issue of Collier's carries an extended statement of the lines on which he is making his fight. Mr. Mellon says: "There is to be no 'Mellon Plan' before the next congress. Writing men are largely responsible for the fact that there was a 'Mellon Plan' a year ago. "It (the 'Mellon Plan') might better have been called the Treasury Plan because since 1919 one Democratic president and two democratic secretaries of the treasury have offered to congress exactly the same recommendations for tax reform that I suggested." "Experience shows conclusively that if taxes are too high the source of revenue diminishes. No man will continue to sow where he cannot reap." "This condition cannot be escaped—more scientific taxes on the larger incomes or more taxes on the lower incomes." "The man with small income is more interested than are the wealthy themselves in seeing that the tax upon high incomes and large estates is economi- LEGIO Although Californi over the top" in $5,000,000 endowment disabled war vet World War II reached their quota Adjutant James.

Every precaution is taken in camp to prevent illness of any kind, but if any serious illness occurs, facilities are always maintained for getting the boy medical attention immediately. The rest of the Scouts enjoyed the beauty of this isolated country, returning to Camp Ro-Ki-Li late Friday afternoon, completing one of the most interesting and longest hikes that any group has ever attempted from Ro-Ki-Li. The Scouts returned hungry, grimy and tired, but exertely happy, as anyone does who returns from a long trip into the out-of-doors, which can only be reached by a long strenuous trip of that nature. After a swim in the new pool, every one was thoroughly clean and cooled off, and a bite to eat put them in trim for anything else that might happen. Fourth of July was spent in quiet, restful celebration with two ball games and three swims to enliven the day. The Ro-Ki-Li ball squad, captained by Anthony Mollica, still remains champion over all the camps surrounding Ro-Ki-Li, they having won every game played so far. Saturday morning the game was played with the Los Angeles county Y. M. C. A. group, and one of those who witnessed the game was Ralph Cole state Y. M. C. A. secretary, who praised very highly the beauty of Ro-Ki-Li. Saturday afternoon another game was played with San Bernardino county Boy Scouts, who have a camp just a half mile above the Orange county Scout camp. Campfire program on the evening of the Fourth of July was featured by stunts and a number of songs by Robert L. Brown of Santa Ana. A good marshmallow feed closed this campfire. Other visitors at camp over the Fourth were Mr. and Mrs. Fred Newcomb of Santa Ana and Mr. and Mrs. Karl Parks of Fullerton. The last big activity of camp was scheduled for Monday, when a one-day hike would be made to the top of Mount Anderson, which is a peak raising to a 10,000-foot elevation just back of camp Ro-Ki-Li. Scouts will return from the first period today. The second period will open Wednesday morning. The following troops re-registered as follows during the month of June: Tustin Troop No. I, with Donovan W. Brunskill Scoutmaster, and the following boys: Stanley Alexander, Anthony Cardiel, Charles Crafts, Dudley Crawford, Walter Huntley, Truscott Lindsey, Donald Parks, Alphonse Thiery and Carl Weise. Fullerton Troop No. 3, with Karl president and two democratic tars of the treasury have offered to congress exactly the same recommendations for tax reform that I suggested. "Experience shows conclusively that if taxes are too high the source of revenue diminishes. No man will continue to sow where he cannot reap. "This condition cannot be escaped—more scientific taxes on the larger incomes or more taxes on the lower incomes. "The man with small income is more interested than are the wealthy themselves in seeing that the tax upon high incomes and large estates is economically sound. "...with tax-exempt securities being issued at the rate of more than $1,000,000,000 a year, and with other means of escaping, the wealthy need no guardian." Wether your tax bill is large or small, tax reform should result in keeping more money in your pocket. Radicals Lack Leader In La Follette's Place The death of Senator Robert M. La Follette in Washington last week will have a sweeping effect on the fortunes of the so-called radical movement both in and out of congress, according to the belief of the political observers here. So far as the state of Wisconsin is concerned, it is believed that the tendency will undoubtedly be back toward conservatism, and that the regular Republicans will eventually regain control of the state. Two of the La Follette chiefs in Wisconsin are Attorney General Enkern and Governor Blaine, and these two men will doubtless figure in the senatorial election in Wisconsin next year. It is not believed, however, that either of them can unite the La Follette forces, and it is said that there is not a figure in the state capable of taking the place of Senator La Follette among the radicals. There is much speculation as to the name of the person who will assume the leadership of the so-called radical block in the Senate. Of the senators who joined the radical movement in 1924, Senator Ladd is now dead. Senator Brookhart is in danger of losing his seat to the Democratic contestant and Senator Wheeler has rejoined the Democratic party. The name of Senator Norris has been brought forward, but Senator Norris has never officially left the Republican party, though differing widely with the regulars. Observers are agreed that the death of Senator La Follette will have wide influence on the fortunes of the radical statesmen of the country, and they will doubtless be greatly handicapped by lack of a leader with force enough to unite them even so far as they were united in the 1924 campaign.

WEEK'S BEST GOOD TURN Suppose you went to draw your bath at 8 o'clock some fine morning and heard a splutter from the faucet, but no water came. Suppose you hurried downstairs to tell your mother and found her standing with an empty coffee pot by a dry faucet. No water anywhere! Out in the street people collecting in anxious groups and wondering what had happened. No water for thirsty horses tolling down hot streets. No water downtown for the big steam engines. Fear growing almost into a panic with the thought of fire. Help- LEGION NOTES Although California has not yet "gone over the top" in the American Legion's $5,000,000 endowment fund drive for the disabled war veterans and orphans of the World War, 15 other states have reached their quotas, according to State Adjutant James K. Fisk. Approximately $2,000,000 has been raised by the former ex-service men and women throughout the nation and members of the committee, headed by Governor Richardson, are making final preparations to put California's drive for funds over as soon as possible. President Calvin Coolidge, honorary head of the national committee in charge of the drive, made the first contribution to the fund and asked that it be credited to his home town, Northampton, Mass. More than 150 cities in California have already reached or over-topped their quotas. Holding of the 1927 American Legion convention in Paris seems more probable daily, according to news received by George J. Hatfield of San Francisco, national committee man of the American Legion and California member of the France Convention travel committee. Assurances have been received through diplomatic channels at Washington, according to Hatfield, that the French government will welcome the convention with sincere pleasure. As a future camp site and playground for members of the American Legion, a grove of giant pines and tamarack, in El Dorado county has just been accepted on behalf of the California ex-service men and women by State Commander Nathan F. Coombs and James K. Fisk, state adjutant. The grove in the El Dorado national forest has been dedicated as a memorial to those who died in the World War service. According to the plans of the American Legion officers, the grove is to be made available for the use of members of the organization and their friends who served in the World War. WE'RE ALL RIGHT Two Orange States Exhibit Jealousy Each Claims Its Soil Produces the Better Fruit A recent issue of the Express Gazette Journal, published in New York, contained the following relative to the rivalry existing between California and Florida: "California and Florida are intensely jealous of the quality of their oranges. There is not a California who will not insist that oranges grown in that state are far superior to those produced in Florida. The average citizen of the peninsula state is equally insistent that the Florida orange has no equal and that the California product cannot approach it. This rivalry is reflected in the mutual embargo which each of these states has had in effect for the last five years against citrus fruits emanating from the other state. The embargo has been enforced ostensibly to prevent the spread of insect pests. California oranges cannot enter Florida, nor can Florida oranges enter California. This unique situation is naturally reflected in the express business and express agents in each state are constantly on the alert to prevent infraction of the state embargo. Consequently, when the newspapers reported that oranges were being shipped into Florida from California, it created quite a furore throughout the peninsula. One of the first to declare it illegal and impossible was W. T. Jamieson, express agent at Orlando, Fla., who said that his office is constantly refusing to accept shipments of Florida oranges and grapefruit to the California homes of tourists. The only time he recalled, a shipment of embargoed California fruit came from Philadelphia and before delivery had been completed he received orders to confiscate it and return it to the shipper." Inquiries at the Santa Ana office of the American Railway Express Company revealed that no shipment of Calliope administration forces in the court. Attorney A. E. Koepsel of Orange represents Newland, who demands that the city trustees be compelled to fix a date for an election for the recall of Trustee Richard Drew. That Newland's counsel suspects the defense of having a trump card up its sleeve and wants more time to study the situation, was hinted today in court circles. City Attorney L. W. Blodget made no objection to the delay. Blodget, it is said, will offer the defense that the recall petition, as it appeared before the city trustees, lacked a proper certificate of sufficiency from the city clerk. It was sent back to the clerk, whose certificate had stated that the petition was sufficient "upon his information and belief." This certificate was not positive enough to satisfy legal requirements, the city attorney advised the board. The recall petition was directed against Trustee Drew and J. H. Macklin, who has since resigned from the board. With all the renowned talent that is beng hred, they are bound to make a monkey out of somebody in that Tennessee trial. The security pact now proposed may cause Europe to settle down, but what Uncle Sam wants her to do is to settle up. The proper study of man is the laws he is under obligation to obey. TIMETABLE A.

And among other things Mr. Hughes called attention to the fact that we are not, as some people would have us believe, living in a decadent period, so far as popular government is concerned. Public officials, as a rule are more honest than they have been in any previous period in history. "We find no reason for discouragement," Mr. Hughes said. "Incorruptibility in public office is more the rule than ever before. The standards of business life are more honorable than ever. We have the severe problems of an intensified industrial activity with the standardized large-scale production of machines, but we have a deeper interest in conditions of employment and standards of living. No evil escapes investigation and insistent demand for correction. Our people are more generous in their treatment of one another; the press is fairer and personal abuse is more rare." "Young America, if independent and assertive, is blessed with kindness and a sense of honor. In the great war we proved that the long period of prosperity had not lessened our physical stamina or impaired the resources of our spiritual strength; and our sons who went to France were as valiant as their forbears on Bunker Hill. "There is much to be desired. Crime too frequently goes unpunished. Considered in detail, much political activity seems to be a welter of futile effort. The sense of individual responsibility for civic ills needs to be strengthened. "But when we examine the records of the past the long story of revolt against tyranny, the disorder, the violations, the helplessness of multitudes and the mistakes of leaders, we may well rejoice at our own inheritance. The men of Bunker Hill made possible this heritage. Let us preserve it. It is not for us to make America, but to be worthy of her." If you believe that the country is going to the dogs, it will help you to mediate upon these words of our former secretary of state. Radio Fans to Meet In San Francisco More than 100,000 radio dealers and impossible was W. T. Jameson, express agent at Orlando, Fla., who said that his office is constantly refusing to accept shipments of Florida oranges and grapefruit to the California homes of tourists. "The only time he recalled, a shipment of embargoed California fruit came from Philadelphia and before delivery had been completed he received orders to confiscate it and return it to the shipper." Inquiries at the Santa Ana office of the American Railway Express Company revealed that no shipment of California-grown oranges would be accepted for Florida points. Hence Californians, accustomed to the luscious Valencias grown in this county, must content themselves with the Florida product while visiting the pleasure resorts of the peninsula state, it was stated. Premium List Out For County Fair Up-to-Date Agricultural Exhibition Promised by Managers The premium list of the Orange County Fair came from the press today. It contains 25 per cent more premiums than any of its predecessors, and not a single award for a pumpkin. Beside setting this historical record, the book indicates that Orange county is to have a well-balanced fair, completely up-to-date in its treatment of agricultural and commercial interests of the whole county. The fair will be held September 22 to 26, inclusive. Distribution of the premium books will be made through the Farm Bureau and the Chambers of Commerce in all sections of the county. The plans of the board of directors call for more elaborate displays in all departments than have been shown in other years. John R. Ragan of Orange will have charge of the agricultural feature tent, which will be devoted exclusively to the products of the soil of Orange county. An elaborate decorative scheme has been approved, and from an artistic as well as crop quality standpoint, this feature of the fair is certain to be a great attraction. In view of the growth of industries in the county, the industrial tent will be allotted one-third more space than at the last fair. A long list of special award cups and plaques has been arranged for. A representative industrial exhibition that will be of the highest educational value is planned, giving every industry the opportunity to become better known. The board has designated the following chairmen of departments: Livestock—H. L. Wakeham, Tustin. Apliance—Roy K. Bishop, Orange. Poultry—H. R. Howell, Santa Ana. Pigeons and Pet Stock—C. C.

Phone 369 Radio Fans to Meet In San Francisco More than 100,000 radio dealers, manufacturers and fans from all parts of the Pacific coast and the East will attend the second annual Pacific Radio Exposition in the civic auditorium, San Francisco, August 22 to 28, according to A. S. Lindstrom, chairman of the executive committee of the Pacific Radio Trade Association, in charge. There will be approximately 175 exhibits in the auditorium, covering a 30,000 square foot area. They will represent practically every type of radio receiving set and accessory manufactured. These exhibits will be housed in specially constructed booths which will follow the old mission style of architecture, carrying out the spirit of California's diamond jubilee celebration opening here about 10 days after the radio show. This radio show, according to F. J. Cram, in charge of eastern manufacturers' exhibits at the exposition, uses 15 per cent more exhibit space than the International Radio Exposition held in Grand Central Palace, New York City, last year. It is indorsed by the National Radio Manufacturers' Asesociation. Morning sessions at the radio exposition will be devoted to those connected with the radio industry. Exhibits will be open to the public during the afternoons and evenings of the six days of the convention. Broadcasting of daily musical programs by remote control from the special constructed studio at the auditorium during the radio show will be in charge of Don Lippincott, C. C. Langevin, J. J. Black and H. W. Dickow are also on the committee working for the success of the radio exposition.

One was the sweeping price reductions of May 15th, ranging from $80 to $160. The other was Graham Brothers ascendancy to leadership by building more 1½-ton trucks than any other manufacturer in the world, during the first quarter of 1925, and by achieving second position in the 1-ton and 1½-ton fields combined.
