Heavy Taxes Paid By Motor Industry More Than $750,000,000 Contributed During Year More than $750,000,000 was paid out by American motorists in the form of federal, state and municipal taxes last year. This is an increase of $83,000,000 over the total of taxes paid in 1925. Threats of increased gasoline taxes and promise of another record in automobile sales this year, point to approach of the billion mark in taxes by the end of this year. Figures showing this great revenue from motorists have been issued by the department of agriculture and have been obtained from other sources. The department of agriculture announces that the total motor vehicle registration in 1926 was 22,001,393 vehicles, which included 19,237,171 passenger cars and 2,764,222 trucks and tractors. This is an increase of more than 10 per cent over the 1925 registrations. Receipts from registration fees, licenses and other state annual taxes were $258,252,352, as compared with $260,619,621 in 1925. Receipts from gasoline taxes in 1926 totaled $187,603,-231. In 1925 they were $146,028,940. Proportionately, federal excise taxes on passenger cars and trucks, vehicles for hire and on parts, tires and accessories, it is estimated, have brought in $155,000,000, as compared with $145,296,-000 in 1925. Personal property taxes in 1925 were well over $100,000,000 on automobiles alone, and municipal taxes the same year have been estimated at a total of $15,000,000. Figuring only a slight increase in these local taxes, puts the motor tax bill for 1926 past the total of $750,000,-000. Most of the money derived from this source is put back into public roads. Motorists therefore may expect a wide expansion of the road building and improvement program henceforth.

BEEBE, Agent Union Pacific System Tel. 722 Legislative Notes The fight to protect California's reputation in the eastern markets by requiring rigid standardization in the marking, packing and shipping of all her products has been practically won, the agricultural legislative committee announces. All standardization measures backed by the committee, it was stated, have either been signed by the governor or have passed both houses and are now awaiting his signature. Most important of these is senate bill No. 580, now in the hands of Governor Young. This is a complete revision and amplification of the fruit, nut and vegetable standardization act of 1925, worked out through a series of conferences with the growers. Upon the general demand of the growers themselves, a number of commodities have been added to the act, including juice grapes, grapefruit, lemons, persimmons, pomegranates, dates, artichokes and carrots. The most far-reaching changes were made in grapes, the attempt being made for the first time to set up grades for table and juice varieties. Another bill awaiting the gubernatorial signature is assembly bill No. 930, the apple standardization act, also fostered by the producers. The changes are designed to cover marketing conditions that have arisen during recent seasons. All of the standards have been changed to some extent, with the exception of the extra fancy or first grade. These changes consist of rearrangement and clearer statement of the specifications, together with some alight modifications. The bill has the general support of the apple producers of the state, and was therefore made a part of the agricultural legislative committee's program. Senate bill ...o. 318, the grain standardization act, has been signed by the governor and will shortly take its place on the statute books. It establishes standardization and optional inspection of field crops. No attempt was made to make such inspection compulsory, nor were any basic changes made in the work now being done.

LEGION NOTES On June 14 throughout California there is to be observed by every American Legion post the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the birth of the American flag, according to instructions issued by Dr. John F. Slavich, state commander of the World war veterans' organization. Special community ceremonies will be held by each Legion post, and plans are being perfected for one of the greatest testimonials in American Legion history, Commander Slavich reports, following word from Eugene D. Bennett of San Francisco, state chairman of the veterans' Americanization committee of the Legion. During the first three months of 1927, California American Legion posts have undertaken activities for the betterment of their communities on a scale greater than ever before. State Commander John F. Slavich of the organization announces. "The men of the Legion are going forward in peace-time service to their communities with the same spirit that carried them to victory in 1917-18." Commander Slavich states. "They have made a splendid start not only in California, but in all of the states, in the nation-wide community service effort. With the coming of spring I expect to see a sweep of activities that will carry us farther toward our goal of 'every post a power for community service.'" The war department at Washington has notified high officials of the American Legion here that reserve officers who belong to the World war veterans' organization in California and elsewhere will be permitted to attend the Paris, France, national convention of the Legion, in September, without first receiving permission from the federal government to absent themselves from the territorial limits of the United States. Four months' absence from this country will be allowed each American Legion reserve corps officer without the necessity of notifying the war department, according to State Adjutant James K. Fisk of the Legion. Between six and seven hundred American Legion band and drum corps musicians will parade at Santa Barbara on August 3, when the ninth annual state convention of the California American Legion assembles here. Herbert E. Weyler, chairman of the local arrangements committee, announces that the musicians' parade will be one NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that sealed proposals or bids will be received by the City of Anaheim at the office of the City Clerk of said city up to the hour of eight o'clock P.M. of Thursday, the 28th day of April, 1927, for furnishing to said city all material and labor required for the construction of sewer connections on Northland South Palm Streets, from Romneya Drive to Broadway.

Herbert E. Weyler, chairman of the local arrangements committee, announces that the musicians' parade will be one of the features of the coming World war veterans' gathering. With a national goal of $600,000 in mind, veterans of the World war are busy with plans for the annual sale of red memorial poppies on Memorial Day for the benefit of disable ex-service men and women and the families of the dead and disabled, according to James K. Fisk, state adjutant of the American Legion. Disabled veterans in government hospitals in many states, including California, are making the poppies from materials supplied by the American Legion's Women's Auxiliary. The disabled and sick veterans are paid for the poppies. States which have no veterans' hospitals will be supplied from those that have the government institutions located in them, according to State Adjutant Fisk. "In time of disaster—the Legion!" These well-known watchwords are becoming a slogan in every American Legion post in California, so states Charles G. Dunwoody, secretary of the California Development Association and state chairman of the World war veterans' conservation commission. "Whether it be fire, as was evidenced in the recent conflagration that de-Soldiers' Home, or flooded conditions stroyed several buildings at the Sawtelle experienced in certain sections of the state during the spring storms, the Legion's emergency committees have been quick to act.
