Store Marriage Licenses Pass 5000 Mark But 99 Couples Failed to Marry After Securing License County Clerk J. M. Backs reported that 5026 licenses were issued during the year. Yet, records of the state bureau of vital statistics in Sacramento, made public Wednesday, show that only 4927 marriages took place in the county. Somewhere between the license bureau, on the main floor of the courthouse, and the court of the marrying justice, Kenneth E. Morrison, on the floor below, or the homes of various ministers scattered about the city, exactly 99 couples lost their way, apparently. It was difficult to believe that so many brides exercised the famous feminine prerogative and changed their minds after obtaining the license, though this explanation doubtless accounts for a portion of the marriage deficiency. As the Gretna Green of California, Santa Ana draws many couples who are in haste or who come on a lark. Some of them doubtless repented before it was too late. But 99 was regarded as too large a number to be accounted for thus. There was never so great a divergence in the license and marriage totals before. County Clerk Backs thought he had an explanation for another portion of the lot. New Year's Day is a favorite wedding day, as are the various other holidays. Backs pointed out that numerous couples doubtless obtained their marriage license on the last day of 1926 and were married on New Year's Day, 1927. They would, in fact, be compelled to get their license on the previous day, as the bureau would not be open on January 1. This would account for perhaps a score of licenses being shown in the 1926 records while the marriages would appear in the 1927 records. Then Dacks had a second thought. If some or the 1925 licenses were not used until 1927, then some of the 1925 licenses were doubtless used on January 1, 1926, so that the 1926 loss would be balanced by the 1925 loss. The solution of the mystery must be county rate. San Mateo, the "Santa Ana" of northern California, made a poor showing in comparison with the Southland's Gretna Green. Its rate was 25.6 per 1000 population. San Mateo, as the matrimonial mecca of San Francisco and other bay cities, had 1114 marriages in 1926, as compared to 4927 in Orange county. Los Angeles county had the most marriages, 16,320, but its rate was only 13.2, or less than the average for the state. Alpine, a northern California county, had the fewest marriages of any county in the state. Its total was six. Legislative Notes Expenditures of public moneys by county boards of supervisors will hereafter be subject to the review of the taxpayers. This announcement was made today by the agricultural legislative committee in pointing out that Governor C. C. Young has just signed Senate bill No. 298, requiring the publication of a county budget by supervisors each year before the tax rate is set. The measure was one of a series backed by the farm committee. Its members believing the bill provided a sensible plan of conducting public business and a practical means of honest criticism of public expenditures. In signing the bill, Governor Young took the position that it would effect a material saving to the taxpayers. "Strict budgeting has been good for the state government; it should likewise be good for the counties," he said. The bill will provide taxpayers with the opportunity of appearing before the supervisors to criticise or commend any proposed expenditure after publication of the budget. An early solution of some of California's most serious marketing problems was seen today bythe agricultural legislative committee, representing 75,000 California farmers, in the appointment of Wells A. Sherman of Washington, D.C., as chief of the division of markets of the state department of agriculture. While not expecting that the new county rate will have much impact on America is to hold her place in world trade, she must have a merchant marine comparable in size with her trade. This is a statement which will not be disputed by those who know something about our merchant marine and its importance to our world business. In an address recently, General States Merchant Fleet Corporation, declared this merchant fleet must be "unequalled in type and speed on the high seas." Here is another statement of fact which will bear some thinking over. For the old, slower ships, built before and during the great war, are becoming antiquated and must be superseded by faster ships. This applies not only to America, but to England and other maritime nations. By having a modern, growing fleet, recently built, Germany is getting the jump on the rest of the world. Continuing, General Dalton declared that a challenge has gone forth to America to the effect that we cannot build and maintain as a successful business enterprise, a real American merchant fleet. This is a challenge which certainly we ought to accept. Americans are not used to taking second place in any business venture. Other statements on the merchant marine made by General Dalton are worth thinking over. Here are some of them: To assure adequate national security for the United States, consideration must be given not only to providing an adequate navy and an efficient army, but also to all those great industrial enterprises which are essential to provide the material resources upon which our people must relay for their prosperity in peace, their maintenance in war and upon which will depend the success of any naval or military operation. OUTLOOK IS GOOD In spite of the prophets of evil, who are always with us in some form, there is no reason, according to the best judgment of those in touch with the business situation of the country, to feel that the balance of the present year will be anything but prosperous, in the country at large. It was suggested that some of the licenses were taken out by young men who had ambitions to become groomers and expected to convince the fair ladies of their choice after getting the license. But that isn't done in California, Backs pointed out. The girl must come to the license bureau herself. The state demands that she must be at least temporarily in hte notion, though the state cannot reckon upon the feminine prerogative. So that theory was "out." So far the feminine prerogative is the only explanation advanced for the missing 99, and it cannot be stretched quite that far as an explanation, it is thought. But even without the missing 99, Santa Ana easily held its place as the Greta Green of California. Marriages were performed in Orange county during 1926 at the rate of 62.1 per 1000 population. The marriage rate for the state, as a whole, was but 18.7 per 1000 population, showing that the local rate was about 4½ to 1 greater than for the rest of the state. The next highest county marriage rate was that of Riverside county, 30.9 per 1000 population, which was less than half the Orange bill will provide taxpayers with the opportunity of appearing before the supervisors to criticise or comment any proposed expenditure after publication of the budget. An early solution of some of California's most serious marketing problems was seen today by the agricultural legislative committee, representing 75,000 California farmers. In the appointment of Wells A. Sherman of Washington, D.C., as chief of the division of markets of the state department of agriculture. While not expecting that the new director would find any panacea for the various ills of agriculture, the committee characterized the appointment as "a step toward the right goal and one which may result in great good." In compliance with the policies agreed upon by the various farm interests and the state authorities, Sherman will work co-operatively with the state and federal governments. He is expected to leave Washington some time this month for California and will make his headquarters in Sacramento. R. H. Taylor, executive secretary of the agricultural committee, expressed praise for the appointment, adding that the new director would have the cooperation of the committee and its various affiliated organizations in working out his problems. India Tires Make Wonderful Record A rather remarkable record has been made by Taylor A Melville of Glasgow, Scotland. As exclusive distributors for India tires in Scotland, they have signed 217 stockists in two months' time, and expect 56 more as soon as their supply of merchandise reaches them. The acceptance of Indian tires in Scotland through the untiring efforts of this firm, is without parallel in tire history, and the demand is increasing at such a tremendous rate that W. A. Nalsmith of the above firm is at the present time in Akron, Ohio, to check into the stock situation and see if deliveries to them cannot be speeded up. It will be of interest to note that this firm has erected the first and only real up-to-date tire service station in the British Isles. India prospects are very favorable here on the coast, states C. A. Swan, of Nelson & Price, who represent India tires in Los Angeles, in an article in the Rubber Review from Akron, Ohio. He expresses the opinion that the year 1927 would be a very favorable year in increased tire sales. The west coast region has passed the boom condition and has now settled down to solid development with the brightest prospects in India's history. West Brothers are much encouraged by these prospects and feel that they too should look forward to a big India year.

Judge Goepper Dies At Santa Ana Home Leopold Goepper, resident of Orange county for 51 years and former justice of the peace at Newport Beach, died suddenly at the home of his sister, Mrs. A. C. Bowers, 1401 North Main street, Tuesday. Funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon at the Winbigler Mission funeral home, and cremation will follow in Los Angeles. Christian Science funeral services will be held. Born in Rossburg, Warren county, Ohio, October 10, 1857, Judge Goepper moved to California in 1870 with his parents, locating at Santa Clara. The family came to this state on one of the first overland trains running into the west at that time. In 1876, Judge Goepper moved to Santa Ana and resided on what is now North Broadway, where his family owned 40 acres of land, some of which now is North Broadway park. The property ran from North Main street west to Ross street and north from Seventeenth street.

OK IS GOOD the prophets of evil, who us in some form, there according to the best pose in touch with the son of the country, to balance of the present thing but prosperous, in large. have had a big year so far, and the cotton goods industry is decidedly on the up-grade. In addition, the building records for March show that it was the best March in a long time for construction. It is true that the Mississippi floods have created an adverse situation in certain sections of the country, but it is not believed that this will affect the national situation. One significant statement given out by the National City Bank in its May resume of the business situation is to the effect that "clearly the difficulties from which industry are suffering are suffering are to a large extent the result of the intense and destructive competition that prevails within it." The free traders have for years told us that a protective tariff destroys competition in the home market and promotes monopoly. Evidently this has not been the case with the present tariff law. From the farming districts there comes, of course, some complaint, in certain sections of the Middle West. But, according to statistics gathered in Iowa by banking interests, the sale of farm land in that great corn state is on the increase and things are looking up. Evidently this is no time for business pessimism so far as the United States is concerned. The principal thing we have to do is to refrain from rocking the boat.
