Conservation to Be Discussed at Meet Advisory Council, Development Association, Holds Session Conservation measures which are of material benefit to Southern California will be discussed at the next meeting of the Southern California regional advisory council of the California Development Association, when the leaders from the eight southern counties meet in the Alexandria hotel, Los Angeles, tomorrow April 13. It is expected that seventy of the boy men from Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties will be present. Among the outstanding issues to be discussed will be labor problems and the labor situation, new plans for highway development and expansion, progress in aviation and the development of landing fields. Economic reports showing the state of industry, commerce and agriculture, in the various counties will also be presented. Preceding the council meeting, separate meetings on the aeronautical, agricultural, conservation, highway, industrial, publicity, and safety committees will be held. The day will be started off with a breakfast meeting of the executive committee, composed of Dr. T. C. Young of Giendale, chairman; W. B. Clancy of Riverside, Justus F. Craemer of Orange, O. E. Gunther of Orange, A. C. Hardison of Santa Paula, A. E. Holloway of San Diego, C. E. Kelsey of Santa Paula, Ivan Kelso of Los Angeles, J. P. Kennedy of Santa Barbara, Major T. C. Macauley of San Diego, H. S. Webster of San Bernardino, M. D. Witter of Brawley, and Wallace S. Woodworth of Pasadena. Those representing Orange county will be: Henry M. Adams, Adams-Bowers Lumber Company, Anaheim; E. E. Campbell, Orange; Justue F. Craemer, Orange Daily News, Orange; O. E. Gunther, Orange; H. E. Morthland, Santa Ana; T. B. Talbert, Huntington Beach; Winthrop Bowen, Placeia; W. J. Carmichael, Fullerton; George Raymer, Chamber of Commerce, Santa Ana; Dr. F. W. Slabaugh, Santa Ana; J. A. Smiley, Orange; A. M. Zerman, Santa Ana. It remains for The Magazine of Business to tell the detailed story of "Hoover's seven American business pilgrimages," in which is recorded the story of what might be termed the middle 15 years of Herbert Hoover's career, about which little information has ever before been published." It goes on to say as an introduction to the story of these important undertakings in which Hoover faced odds and succeeded. Seven times has Hoover journeyed around the world on mining missions that were in effect American business pilgrimages. For each time as he traveled from wherever he went, Australia, India, China, Russia, South Africa—there came back a stream of orders for American mining machinery and equipment, a constant call for mining engineers to come out and take important posts and install American methods and set up American standards. The story of The Magazine of Business is written for the eyes of business men and has much to do with the specific manner in which this young California engineer turned America for the machinery and equipment that turned run down, unprofitable mining properties into successful ones. The story was largely a repetition of the first big success achieved in the desert of Australia, followed by the building up of enterprises that took him seven times around the world and into the most difficult situations conceivable, in which he always ultimately triumphed, turning unprofitable enterprises into profitable ones. It was during these 15-years that Hoover developed the character and ability that make him one of the outstanding executives of all time and one particularly qualified now to undertake the internal as well as the international problems that America faces, with more of a world-wide vision than any other available candidate for the presidency could possibly have.

Sowers will hold conferences with State Commander Phil Dodson, State Adjutant James K. Fisk, Chairman Bert Mann of the Legion's state athletic commission and others during his stay in this state. He will visit Los Angeles April 18 and San Francisco on April 24. Fifty thousand boys are expected to participate in the American Legion's national tournament, the "little big series" of which will be held in the fall. Each post of the American Legion in this state will be asked to sponsor at least one team in the tournament, and the state will be divided into districts for the purposes of determining a champion, according to Commander Dodson. Other organizations may enter causes in the contests. Every boy in California has a chance to become a member of the world's champion junior baseball team. These boys will also be guests of the big league at the world series. Los Angeles American Legion leaders have begun their campaign to secure the 1930 national convention of the World war veterans' organization for that city. Eugene M. Berger, chairman of the national convention committee of the California Legion, has started a campaign among the posts of the Legion in eastern states to secure their pledged support. By starting the campaign early, Berger hopes to forestall possible opposition from other cities. Members of the California delegation in the House of Representatives at Washington have been called upon by the American Legion officials, headed by State Commander Phil Dodson, to join with Congressman Royal Johnson South Dakota, in the effort to bring from the military affairs committee onto the floor of the House the bill proposing conscript of labor and capital as well as men in time of war. Help of Congresswoman Kalin and Congressmen Welch, Lea, Englebright Barbour, Free, Crall, Evans, Curry Carter and Swing is sought by the Legion officials in their move to get the Johnson bill before congress. In a message to State Adjutant James K. Fisk of the California Legion, National Commander Spafford says: "War was declared over eleven years ago. Today some people seeking office desire the support of red-blooded Americans. Will not the patriotic citizens of your state make their wishes relative to the universal draft known to their representatives and senators in congress." In a message to State Adjutant James K. Fisk of the California Legion, National Commander Spafford says: "War was declared over eleven years ago. Today some people seeking office desire the support of red-blooded Americans. Will not the patriotic citizens of your state make their wishes relative to the universal draft known to their representatives and senators in congress." A resolution was adopted and the district attorney was directed to commence an action under eminent domain for the acquisition of property right-of-way in the Second Road District. The deed from the Irvine Company to the County of Orange was accepted and placed on record. The purchasing agent was authorized to consult with Zenith corporation to ascertain what would be required at the airport site for their tests. The chairman was authorized to approve the bond on the franchise granted Hugh La Rue. D. J. Dodge was appointed on advisory board for flood control work. The county auditor was ordered to draw a warrant on the county general fund for $5250, in favor of the Reliance Title Company for purchase of certain property in Buena Park necessary for Manchester boulevard right-of-way. An ordinance of the board of supervisors of the county of Orange granting to Hugh La Rue a franchise to construct, maintain and operate water pipe lines, laterals and service connections, under and along all public highways in a certain portion of the county of Orange was regularly adopted. HOOVER'S EXPERIENCES Little is known in this country of the activities of Herbert Hoover during the years before the World war, when he was becoming famous as a world engineer. The cataclysm of the war overshadowed everything else when he came prominently to the notice of the rest of the world by being selected as food administrator for Belgium. America felt some gratification that an American should be chosen for so responsible a task, and watched with interest his spectacular success; but from that time to this, despite the many other gigantic undertakings that Hoover has entered upon and completed successfully, there have been little more than references in the public prints to those years when his enemies accuse him of having Help of Congresswoman Kahn and Congressmen Welch, Lea, Englebright Barbour, Free, Crall, Evans, Curry Carter and Swing is sought by the Legion officials in their move to get the Johnson bill before congress.

Will not the patriotic citizens of your state make their wishes relative to the universal draft known to their representatives and senators in congress? It is not sufficient that they vote for the measure; they must work to force the bill out of committee. The American Legion must work now as it never did before." Throughout California during the coming week, World war veterans acting through their American Legion posts will join in the tree planting conservation movement to be a feature of American Forest Week. State Commander Phil Dodson of the Legion announces, John R. White, superintendent of Sequoia national park, is chairman of the Legion's forest conservation committee and will have direct charge of the activities of the various posts which will act in conjunction with local bodies in their conservation efforts. Commander Dodson and Superintendent White have worked out a plan for the planting of 50,000 trees in this state during the remaining weeks of the year. The federal authorities are co-operating with the American Legion and with the other agencies sponsoring American Forest Week, April 22-28. Praising the work of the American Legion in California Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, one of the founders of the World war veterans' organization, now visiting San Francisco, declares: "The American Legion of California furnishes a clear example of the energetic way in which those who served in the World war have lived up to the term 'Peace Time Service Man.' The Legion, here in California realizes thoroughly that their service to the nation..." Taxes Delinquent Last Day of Month County's Taxes This Year Aggregate $5,892,426.53 J. C. Lamb, county tax collector, has called for $1,500,000 from residents of Orange county and expressed the opinion that he will get it before the end of the month. Citizens in this section always have responded to his suggestions generously, he said, and predicted that $1,000,000 of the amount needed will be paid within the next two weeks. The last Monday in April is the day when taxes will become delinquent, and it so happens that it will be the last day of the month, Lamb pointed out. He argued that those who have taxes to pay should do so as early as possible in order to eliminate possible rush and confusion on the last day. In particular those who have money which they are not using were referred to by the tax collector. Tax bills, deeds or other descriptions of the property on which fees are to be paid should be brought to his office when the money is handed over to the county, he stated, declaring that confusion and loss of time will be avoided if this is done. The total amount to be collected for the 1927-1928 years is $5,892,426.53, but 60 per cent of this amount already has been put into the coffers. Predicts Big Increase For Avocado Crop That the production of avocados will more than treble in the next six years was the prediction made by A. A. Brock, horticultural commissioner, who announced the completion of a census of the industry here. With similar yield and market conditions in 1927, this county would receive $250,000 from avocado archards in 1934, according to figures based on Brock's estimates. The rapidity of this growth is seen when this amount is compared with the $29,000 production of 1926. Orange County Pays Big Inheritance Tax Nearly $34,000 Collected During the Past Year Orange county paid into the state during the year 1927 $31,700.80 for inheritance taxes collected here, according to figures made public by Ray L. Riley, state controller. The total tax received during that period was $33,672.58, but $287.50 was disbursed to the appraisers for fees, and $981.28 was paid into the Orange county treasury as a collection fee. This leaves the state a net income of $31,700.80 from Orange county inheritance tax collections. The net income from the state at large totaled $9,117,242.48. The inheritance tax rate in the United States is much lower than in any other civilized country in the world. Riley says. The rate in California compared very favorably with other states. "The criticism we hear so much about against the inheritance tax comes from the fellow who doesn't want to say," Riley declared. "According to the records of my office, each estate is taxed about every 33 years, and the average rate is 4 per cent. This rate distributed over a 33-year period, is nominal, but the income to the state is considerable." "All states are collecting substantially the same amount from the taxpayer. There is no competition and no aliae of safety for those who wish to avoid payment of the tax." The Californian who pays inheritance taxes receives about 80 per cent back in one form or another when he settles with the federal government. Californians and Floridians are paying about the same inheritance tax rate, goes to the federal government, while in California 80 per cent is retained from the federal tax for state purposes." Riley says. "The inheritance tax is not new. There are records showing that the on loan Egyptians levied such a tax in 654 B.C. It is well known that the Roman Emperor Augustus charged an inheritance tax for the support of the Roman armies. In some countries today, such as Australia, the inheritance tax is ex- That the production of avocados will more than treble in the next six years was the prediction made by A. A. Brock, horticultural commissioner, who announced the completion of a census of the industry here. With similar yield and market conditions to those in 1927, this county would receive $280,000 from avocado orchards in 1934, according to figures based on Brock's estimates. The rapidity of this growth is seen when this amount is compared with the $29,000 production of 1926. The amount predicted for 1934 would be produced on 621 acres of land on which alligator pears are now growing. Of this average 420 are not yet bearing fruit. Brock said, showing that the 53,400 crop of 1927 was produced on 91 acres, part of which is in full bearing and part coming into production. The Fuente variety accounts for 38 acres, according to Brock's census. Bearing acres and 149% non-bearing Mixed varieties on his list utilize 163 producing and 270% non-producing acres. There are 14,094 bearing and 23,054 non-bearing trees, his census revealed. PREHISTORIC OYSTERS On the banks of the lower Potomac river at Walles Bluff, near Cornfield Harbor, Md., may be seen a thick bed of oyster shells, now high and dry above tide level and covered by several feet of earth. How did they get there? Is it a kitchen midden of the long ago left by the Indians or their predecessors? Geologists say no; the bed is vastly older than that, and the oysters lived and died where they now are and owe their present high position to changes in water level and not to human agency. This ancient oyster bed and adjacent deposits that include a more varied assortment of shells are pictured by W. C. ManSFIELD in a short report entitled "Notes on Pleistocene Faunas From North Carolina." Just published by the Department of the Interior as Professional Paper 150-F of the geological survey. Although the oysters that inhabited these shells lived during the final stages of the "ice age," the temperature of the sea must have been about the same then as today, or perhaps a little warmer, for Mr. ManSFIELD finds that a kind of clam that now flourishes in Mobile bay then lived near the mouth of the Potomac river. In the course of his field studies, Mr. ManSFIELD observed cypress stumps six to eight feet in diameter buried beneath 22 feet of sea shells, sand, and clay, on the Nouse river below New Bern, N.C. He infers that the salt water of the ocean invaded cypress swamp at this point, killed and truncated the trees, and deposited sand, sea shells and mud upon them. This was in the later part of what geologists call the Pleistocene epoch, which began perhaps 1,000,000 years or more ago. The stumps may be as much as 100,000 years old. Later the sea withdrew, and the marine deposits were gradually cut through by the river until the old stumps thus far well preserved by the settles with the federal government. Californiaians and Floridians are paying about the same inheritance tax rate, good to the federal government, while in California no per cent is retained from the federal tax for state purposes." Riley says. "The inheritance tax is not new. There are records showing that the ennemen Egyptians levied such a tax in 654 B. C. It is well known that the Roman Emperor Augustus charged an inheritance tax for the support of the Italian armenia. In some countries today, such as Australia, the inheritance tax is extremely high, not only for the revenue derived, but for the purpose of breaking up large estates, thus keeping them out of the hands of the few and opening lands to colonists and settlers. MEXICAN IMMIGRATION After a two-year study of Mexican immigration, Mr. Stuart, in the Christian Science Monitor, says that during the last few years more than a million Mexicans, mostly peons, have found employment in the United States. Just now they are pouring through our back door at the rate of a thousand a week. During the past eight months the total officially admitted exceeds the total recorded admissions for a hundred years preceding 1910. The Mexican population in the United States is now estimated at between two and three millions. Some 250,000 are employed on railroads west of the Mississippi, and they have drifted into eastern and northern states and through the steel mills and agricultural states where several colonies have been formed. It costs but little for them to live, and they work for wages far below anything known in this country. This influx of cheap labor practically nullifies all benefits of our restricted immigration plan. We close the front door but leave the back door wide open. A United States-British radio war is said to be practically certain. Doubtless we will soon be getting broadsidees of static from the other side of the Atlantic. Mother!

Anaheim, Calif., April 12, 1928 Unities Unite Drain Plan 5,000 in Disposal Water Just been let by the disposal Company, repurpose oil operators, for a section settling parts of Fullerton, and more than 20 miles of waste waters of theda, East Coyote and, removing the oil, clear water into the near Newport Beach, county sewerage disposal oil operators $175,000 and another $100,-our respective proper. When it is done amount to something of water a day, but will be 25,000 barrels afered adequate for all Orange county own system which serves im, Orange, Buena Placentia, La Habra. Permission was obtained from them, by the operators, and with the consent of state and county health authorities, to hook up with this sewer as a means of disposing of waste water. The Waste Water Disposal Company will run its waste water from four fields into a settling pond 450 feet long and 170 feet wide, on a five-acre site which has been equipped with tanks, pump houses and other operating equipment. This pond will be divided by a number of baffles. At the bottom of the baffles will be openings through which the water can be drawn off. The oil rises to the top, in such a settling pond, and the water and sediment can easily be drawn off without disturbing the oil, and the oil can be syphoned off and sent to the refinery or tank. In this way nothing but pure water will be turned into the sewer, and instead of being detrimental to the sewer, this water, according to sanitary engineers, will actually prove of benefit to it, because the salts which it contains will have a cleansing influence. Arrangements have been made to flow waste waters through the sewer only at night. Thus the waste waters will not load up the system during the daytime when heavy domestic burdens are upon it, but will serve to flush all of the solids through it at night. The arrangement is believed to be excellent from an engineering standpoint. It is expected that the plant will be completed and placed in operation within 90 days. Another waste water disposal system is to be built at once by the Santa Fe Springs Water Disposal Company, an organization embracing more than forty operators. This plant will be larger and much more costly than the system of Fullerton, and will take care of all field waters from the Montebello, Whittier, Murphy-Coyote, and Santa Fe Springs fields. It will cost $300,000 at the outset and the operators will be called upon to spend perhaps another $100,000 to hook up their private lines with the main gathering line. It will cost $30,000 a year to operate this plant, while $10,000 a year is the estimated cost of operating the Fullerton plant. At least six of the oil fields involved in these two systems have been producing oil for upward of 20 years, and no provision has been made for carrying off waste waters. Until now it always ran in open ditches, creeks or other natural drains, but in recent years the open country which used to surround these oil fields has been closely built up and agricultural and horizutural developments have advanced to the point where it was feared, until recently, that injury might be done to growing crops.
