Community Contacts Following are some extracts from the January bulletin issued by the Chamber of Commerce: Thrift Week—Your attention is called to Thrift Week from January 17th to 23rd. The Y. M. C. A. is fostering the national program. Mr. R. B. Young is chairman of the activities for this week. Colvin P. Brown—The Forum committee has designated Monday night, January 18th for membership dinner and meeting. Colvin P. Brown of the organization department of the National Chamber of Commerce will be the speaker of the evening. Mr. Brown is going to give his services all day Monday to different committees of the Chamber of Commerce and address the members and friends at night. Keep this in mind and reserve the date. New Members—The Chamber of Commerce extends a hearty welcome to Mr. A. S. Ralph of the Auto Club of Orange County as a member of the Chamber of Commerce. Anaheim Truck & Transfer Company—After doing business in Anaheim and vicinity for the past fifty-seven years the Anaheim Truck & Transfer Company is requested to secure a permit from the State Highway Association to do business. This has been brought about by a ruling of the State Highway Commission which is to the effect that any truck or transfer company, doing business over the highways beyond the city limits of any city, must secure a permit and abide by the ruling and tariffs of the commission. The hearing was begun before Judge Leon Whitsell of Orange the 7th of December in Anaheim. It seems strange that this transfer company so well known to this community should have to secure a permit to do business after over a half century of service that has been satisfactory. The opposing companies such as the Triangle Express, Orange County Fast Freight, and others who have their main offices in Los Angeles are like an octopus stretching their arms in every direction to secure all the trade. It is necessary for the Anaheim Truck & Transfer Company to show the commission that this company is needed to perform the work between Anaheim and the Chamber of Commerce through the directors of the Chamber of Commerce signed a very strong resolution favoring the granting of a permit to the Anaheim Truck and Transfer Company. The hearing was most interesting, especially for the great number of unimportant or imaginary cases that might come up, which was brought out by the opposing companies. Not being able to finish the hearing it is to be continued January 22nd at 11 o'clock a.m., in Anaheim. The best wishes of the Chamber of Commerce go with the Truck & Transfer Company in securing this permit. Mexican Situation—The civic improvement committee has been working upon what is known as the Schaffer tract through the firm of Stock & Koesel. This firm has offered as a suggestion to the committee this tract of land divided into lots. Between ninety and one hundred lots forty by eighty can be made out of this subdivision with full width streets, parking and sidewalks. The problem before the committee is the financing. This subdivision can be bought for a reasonable sum. With lots at a price within reach of working men they can be bought and paid for. Owning the lot, suitable, well planned homes can be created through the building and loan association. The committee feels this to be a community proposition. It has been done elsewhere with gratifying results. There may be those in Anaheim who prefer to invest their money in real estate rather than in industries. If such is the case this committee would certainly like to get in touch with them and outline a plan that will be mutually beneficial for the community and for the investor. Tree Planting—The civic Improvement committee wishes to call your attention to tree planting in Anaheim. The city trustees have stated they are ready to cooperate in beautifying our city by the planting of suitable trees. A suggestion has been offered to the committee by Howard Gates that in planting trees we do not use the parking space designated by the city because it is too narrow, being from three to five feet in width, but rather, plant the trees back on the property line where it is possible. There is a question as to the variety of trees to be planted. Horticulturist Brock, of Santa Ana, has offered some very valuable suggestions and has given people for the parking does not interfere with its claimed. The recommendation to me in the near future owes no tree for this section. Freight Rates—Certain complained agreements in Anaheim, elicited a little nearer the rate, or what is known rate," which is less than into our city. Mr. Walker, agent railroad, stated to theseCommittee that there are instances in the freight perspective cities. They were those of Orange counties and Wilmington Culver City and Torquefield county. The focus consisting of H. N. Wrover, C. H. Myers visited Mr. Harrison department of the San Francisco substantiated Mr. Wrover said all cities have the same class including the fourth of Los Angeles county learned that Anaheim discriminated against freight rates.

Placentia Again Talks Incorporation Immediate investigation of the possibility of incorporating Placentia will be carried on by a committee which A.S.Bradford, president of the chamber of commerce,has been asked to appoint, according to Tom Pickerell, secretary of the chamber. The matter of incorporation has been discussed at various times,no action having yet been definitely taken toward this end.Under the present law,ranch land or acreage property can not be incorporated without the permission of the owner This limits territory in Placentia,which might be incorporated,to the subdivided area which shows an assessed valuation of but $500,000.In the opinion of many townspeople,this val- 1925 CROP VALUES Despite increased production of grain in the United States in 1925, the gross value of the crop was $708,000,000 less than in 1924, the agriculture department announced today. The gross value of grain crops for 1925 was $3,819,713,000 compared with $4,518,716,000 the previous year. The largest decrease was in corn. While 2,500,581,000 bushels were produced, compared with 2,312,744,000 the previous year, the estimated gross value was only $1,556,326,000 compared with $2,270,564,000 in 1924. Winter wheat production was nearly 200,000,000 bushels less than in 1924 and although the December 1 price was somewhat higher in 1925 than in 1924, the gross value of the crop was $559,504,000 compared with $776,227,000 the previous year. Spring wheat, on the other hand, showed an increase in gross value being estimated at $353,489,600 last year and $344,560,000 in 1924. BULB EMBARGO As a result of an embargo against narcissus bulbs, announced in Washington, bulb growing in Orange county will receive a decided stimulus. That is the declaration of Congressman Phil D. Swing, who with delegates from California, on November 16 and 17, appeared before the federal horticultural board in Washington in behalf of this measure. The growing of American bulbs all over the country will be awakened into a big industry as a result of this action. The reason for the prohibition of the importation of certain bulbs, however, is based entirely upon the effort of this country to stop the importation of pest infected bulbs. Orange county has been proven to be ideal for bulb growing. Bulbs have been carried on by a committee when A. G. Bradford, president of the chamber of commerce, has been asked to appoint according to Tom Pickerell, secretary of the chamber. The matter of incorporation has been discussed at various times, no action having yet been definitely taken toward this end. Under the present law, ranch land or acreage property cannot be incorporated without the permission of the owner. This limits territory in Placentia, which might be incorporated, to the subdivided area which shows an assessed valuation of but $500,000. In the opinion of many townspeople, this valuation is too small on which to base sufficient taxation to run a city. However, if the city government were carried on economically enough, the town could incorporate Mr. Pickerell stated. The committee, which will conduct the investigation, will comprise five persons living in Placentia proper, who can realize the attitude of the people regarding the matter. TO DISCUSS TAX SYSTEM On the second Tuesday in January, at the regular meeting of the Anaheim Farm Bureau at the Anaheim High School building, State Senator Charles H. V. Lewis, a member of the Bureau and of the senate agriculture committee, will introduce a resolution demanding investigation of and a radical change in the Dual Tax System of the state wherein the people pay all city and county tax and the public utility corporations pay or are supposed to pay all CALIFORNIA'S POPULATION A new system of estimating population, in which he uses property value as a basis, has been developed by Ray L. Riley, state controller. So far as known here, the method has never been used before. Riley places the population of California at 4,999,850 persons, as of January 1, 1925. "The system is based upon increased property value," the state controller explained. "The use of real estate governs its value and increased population is immediately reflected in increased property values." The 1920 census did not give some California cities a sufficient total, according to Riley's figures, while in others the population was estimated too high.

At this meeting Senator Lewis will explain fully this system of taxation, what it is supposed to do and what it actually does and does not do, and what should be done about it. If the people are as interested in taxation as they appear to be, or should be, there will be a large number of them at this meeting. Facts and truth on this vital subject is what we want and should have. The people have been fed hugely on camouflage propaganda on taxation. CHARLES H. V. LEWIS. COW, SOW AND HEN TRAIN The Santa Fe is running a live stock and agricultural demonstration train through Southern California, under the joint sponsorship of the Santa Fe railway, and the University of California, for the purpose of stimulating interest in agriculture and live stock. This train will be at Santa Ana on exhibition in the Santa Fe yards during the full day of Friday, January 22nd. It will be accompanied by some of the railway officials, and in addition certain professors from the agricultural section of the university, also representatives of the various county farm bureaus, who will give specialized lectures in their respective fields. As this is the famous "Cow, Sow and Hen Train" which has so successfully been exhibited over the Santa Fe lines through the rural districts of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas for the last couple of years it is hoped that all ranchers, farmers, poultrymen and others interested in Orange County will avail themselves of this opportunity to visit, inspect the train, and attend some of the lectures.
