DEATH OF JOSEPH FISCUS Joseph Fiscus, an old and highly respected citizen of Anaheim, passed away at his residence, 1001 South Los Angeles street on Thursday morning at 1:10 o'clock.

TAXPAYERS ARE WARNED Taxpayers should be warned in advance against the so-called "tax relief" bill that will go on the ballot next fall. A circular regarding the measure says: The tax relief bill will exempt all manufacturing machinery, stocks of merchandise and other forms of personal property and give an exemption of two thousand dollars to each taxpayer on improvements. The objects and purposes of this bill are to reduce living costs and to attract to California men and wealth for productive purposes. A better statement of the case would be to say that the bill aims to shift a greater burden on the owner of a home or ranch. The bill does not contemplate any reduction in the gross total of taxes; it simply re-arranges the burden. There is no reduction on real estate; and in an agricultural county like this, most of the taxes come from real estate. If personal property is exempted, including all stocks of goods in stores, then the tax on orchardists and town lots will have to be increased. The measure is a dangerous one; and taxpayers should be on guard against sophistries put forth in its behalf. Under this law apparently the $30,000 perfecting press used to print the Riverside Daily Press, every one of the $5,000 linotypes used to set the type on the paper and the other machinery used in its publication would be exempt. The Press is not asking for any exemption and does not think it should have it to the end that the ranchers and lot owners in the country should pay more taxes. The Press is willing to stand with them in paying a just proportion of all the taxes raised in the county; and this paper believes the merchants of Riverside will take the same view—Riverside Press.

NEW REFORESTATION DIRECTORS ELECTED A hard legislative fight is ahead of the bill proposing an appropriation of $1,000,000 by the federal government for forest protection in the four national forests of Southern California, according to Francis Cuttle, chairman of the Riverside Reforestation committee, which held its annual meeting and election of officers yesterday, in Riverside. Cuttle's report on progress of the forest measure in Washington, was a feature of the discussion before the meeting. Talks were given also by State Senator Ralph Swing of San Bernardino, and Senator Chester M. Klune, of San Jacinto. Cuttle stated that the committee considering the appropriation bill was favorable to it, but that pressure would be needed to gain support of the administration for the bill. In the election of a board of directors for the reforestation committee, Orange county's membership had but one change. O. P. Rust, of the Anaheim district, who has removed from the county, was succeeded by John Mitchell, of Garden Grove. The other directors, all re-elected, were: H. C. Head, chairman; John Dunstan, G. W.

Legion Notes Secretary of State Frank C. Jordan, has designated the $20,000,000 Farm and Home Veterans Loan Act as number one on the November ballot. Secretary Jordan reserved first place on the ballot for the bond act which if passed at the coming November election will mean a continuation of the work of the California State Veteran's Welfare Board in the work of placing the veterans of the World War on farms and in homes on a loan basis over a period of years. George M. Stout, secretary of the Veteran's Welfare Board, made the request of Secretary Jordan that the veterans' measure be given the first number on the ballot. The Farm and Home Loan bond money which was voted by the people of the state in 1922 is practically used up and the new fund will be needed to carry on the work. Now that the official designation has been made by the secretary of state, the three hundred odd American Legion posts of California are to conduct an intensive campaign to get the voters to register in each community so that a record vote may be obtained on the bond act sponsored by the ex-service men's organization. Four out of every five World War veterans entitled to adjusted compensation tad applied for it up to December 31, 1925, when Uncle Sam's largest single clerical job approached completion. State Adjutant James K. Fisk, of the American Legion has been informed. Applications received up to January 1st, approached 3,000,000 according to Fisk, who has received word from the federal officials at Washington. Approximately 2,700,000 if these applications were certified by the Veterans Bureau at Washington as valid; the others were disallowed or were in process of correction. Applications came in from eighty-four foreign territories including China, Armenia, the Cape Verde Islands, Iceland, India, Palestine, Latvia, Cypress, Tahiti, Korea, Burma and San Marino. American Legion posts throughout California have before them a plan for the conservation of the state's natural resources. Puzzle No. 31 Can you reconstruct these anagrammatic words?

EDITORS FOR RICHARDSON At a conference of Southern California editors held in Los Angeles last week, Governor Richardson was importuned to be a candidate for reelection. The conference included representatives of two of the metropolitan dailies, a considerable number of inland daily newspapers editors and some twenty or more country weekly publishers, and there was general agreement that the governor had given to the state of California the most efficient and economical administration in its history, free from partisanism or favoritism. His attitude in the Anita Whitney case and his uncompromising refusal to deal leniently with murderers was especially commended, as was his effort to reduce expenses of state government. These editors organized an advance guard, ready to enter upon the campaign with enthusiasm, and again establish a newspaper bureau in the governor's interest. In the campaign of 1922 more than 95 per cent of the country papers of Southern California were collected under the Richardson banner, and a careful survey of the field shows that he has not lost the support of a single paper. On the contrary, several of the metropolitan papers and country dailies on the other side four years ago are now champions of Governor Richardson. In the gathering were five Democratic editors, all of them ardent supporters of Governor Richardson. It's understood that in the northern part of the state, the newspapers of all shades of political faith are practically a unit for the governor.

GYMNASTIC APES AND POLLIES RUIN WIRES From Mexico comes a story that monkeys and parrots are very much pleased with the development of the telephone service in that country. It seems that the monkeys and parrots assume that the development of the service was for their special enjoyment and pleasure. At any rate it is declared that every night after darkness has settled down completely, these wild creatures come out from their haunts and perform all sorts of gymnastics and capers on the wires which have recently been strung into service, with the result that many miles have had to be replaced with heavier cables. Telephone officials had not taken into consideration the monkeys and parrots and the extra strain which they place on the wires.

In the various sections and communities of the state each legion post is to be asked to organize fire suppression units to be prepared, if necessary, in the suppression of forest fires and to aid in the physical improvement of public camp grounds and parks, state, federal and national. Warning against the imposition of "Gold-brickers," fakirs and crooks, touring caravans and the like, using the uniform of the United States or the badge of the American Legion in the unwarranted solicitation of funds has again been issued by State Commander, Allen B.

CANDLE, ALASKA, BOASTS NORTHERNMOST PHONES The farthest telephone north in the territory belonging to the United States is way up in Alaska, some 100 miles above Koizebue Sound on the Kobuk river. It belongs to the farthest north telephone exchange at Candle, Alaska, which connects with None, Deering, Haysock and Weewalk. Owing to the severity of the Arctic winters, the Kobuk river is closed from October 1 to June 1, and communication except by dog team is possible only by telephone. During the summer months a boat on the river makes regular trips, but without the telephone this section would have little contact with the outside world in winter.
