Read it in the Gazette ALL THE LOCAL AND COUNTY NEWS THE GAZETTE CALL SEVEN-TWO VOLUME LX ANAHEIM CITRUS TO RELEASE LARGE SUM Closes Second Pool Wednesday; Three-fourths of Orange Crop is Picked Probable release soon of a large sum of money in paying out of pool number one, to be followed later by paying out of the second pool, was indicated with the closing of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association's second pool Wednesday evening. A large sum of money has been advanced for boxes already picked and shipped. Approximately 75 per cent of the crop to be handled by the association had been picked with the close of the second pool, Manager Carl Monahan announced, as work began Thursday on the third pool. Manager Monahan observed that about three-fourths of the oranges in Orange county now have been packed. In commenting on the citrus fruit situation, Manager Monahan said that "oranges are the only commodity in the United States that today is being top prices.

I believe In commenting on the citrus fruit situation, Manager Monahan said that "oranges are the only commodity in the United States that today is bringing top prices. This is due primarily to the wonderful co-operative association which has been in process of organization and perfection for a period of more than 20 years. "The farm board, realizing the success attained by the citrus men's organization, has been encouraging similar organizations for other products. The nearest home to us is grapes, which probably would be benefited as much by a strong association as the citrus industry. It will take time to work out this program. "But for wheat there appears to be less chance of success of co-operative market associations. Wheat raising is spread out over too wide a territory to be effectively handled like oranges in California." ORANGE COST FIGURES LOW Auditor Jerome Corrects Impression That Government Expenses High Despite figures released by State Controller Ray L. Riley showing that Orange county's per capita government expenditures as $54.29 for 1930, this county as a matter of fact has but a per capita government expense of less than $10, according to County Auditor W. C. Jerome. Auditor Jerome says that the actual cost of government in this county for 1930 was $1,163,434, instead of $6,727,386.55, as reported by Controller Riley. The latter's figure included $1,419,930 expended upon schools, and $1,144,022 upon highways, which belong in another category—that of construction of public necessities, and cannot be figured in on the cost of government. Auditor Jerome states. Extensive building of schools in Fullerton, Tustin, Garden Grove, Newport Beach and Santa Ana makes the school taxes appear exceptionally heavy. Large amount of highway construction also makes the total county expenditure seem lopsided. The population of 118,611 actually had less than $10 per capita expenditure for government, which is comparable to any figure for any county of the state, if not the lowest per capita expenses, according to Auditor Jerome. Per capita costs of government reported by Controller Riley include: Santa Barbara; $57.07; Orange; $54.29; Rivera. If residents and officials of Orange county have any questions or problems about the Metropolitan Water District and its connection with the Boulder dam development, they are invited to attend the meeting of the M. W. D. Advancement association to be held at the Elks clubhouse Thursday evening. August 28. Date of the meeting recently was announced by Mayor L. E. Miller, who with Councilman Leo Sherdian and other officials have participated in meetings held all over Southern California. Officers of the association, all of whom live elsewhere, are preparing the program, which probably will consist chiefly if discussions of engineering problems affecting the Boulder Dam, best route or routes to bring the water to Southern California, and the part Orange county will play in the development. The Metropolitan Water District act also will be discussed, and residents, especially from those cities and towns in this neighborhood who have withheld joining in the hopes of being admitted more cheaply later on, are invited to attend and "get the straight of the matter" from some one who knows the functioning of the act. Mayor Miller states that officials of the Orange County League of Municipalities has been invited to attend the meeting, the first of its kind every held in Orange county. Miss Goddard to Teach in Oregon Miss Mignonne Goddard recently signed a contract to teach another year at the Oregon State Normal college at Monmouth, Oregon, and plans to return north next month, according to plans announced this week. Miss Goddard, her brother, Allen, and mother, Mrs. Fannie Goddard of 901 North Clementine street, returned early this week from a short visit at San Diego. Seven Local Folk End Long Journey Seven Anaheim residents, after a 10,000-mile trip through 15 states returned to their respective homes this week, glad to be back where the sun doesn't boll and the nights are cool. Leaving here June 16, Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Anderson and their sons, Howard and Edward; Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Anderson, and Norman Anderson, motored along the Santa Fe trail to the Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest, and Indian ruins in New Mexico. The party visited the parents of Mr. and Mrs. T. L Payne at North Platte, Nebraska. Stops were made at Kansas, Iowa, and Madison, South Dakota, all former homes of members of the party. Visits at Milwaukee, Chicago and Black Hills also were made.

This spring when an unemployed marched up to San Francisco, demanded them sympathetic then proceeded to have surplus moneys of the city given over to public investment that unemployment work could do. At the same time doing this, the state's was doing nothing. He may the surplus that over brought into the state desiring to keep it intact voters could be shown what an 'economy program'.

Mrs. Smith had been very active in Eastern Star work at Honolulu, and was a leader in many social and civic organizations. She had lived on the island for over 40 years, and her death is mourned by hundreds of friends. At the time she took ill she was visiting her son.

GO TO GRAND CANYON In company with her half-mother, Jack Doty of Ventura, and Miss Iona McMurtry of Anaheim, Miss Bessie Renner, secretary of Anaheim Grammar School Superintendent Melbourne A.

A GIVEN GREAT VENT IN COUNTY TOUR Candidate Wins New Admires By ceasing Pedsonality; Stays at Here Overnight In his actions, James Rolph Jr., distingulation for the governorship of California, Wednesday, striding ever nearer towards the Brookhurst avenue home of P. A. date and an active member of the local Rolph-for-Governor club. From the time he spoke to citizens of Buena Park at approximately 9 o'clock until his day was concluded with an address in the evening at Balboa, the mayor of San Francisco was busy making new friends at the many points at which he stopped. His time at each place was too short to allow a major discussion of the planks of his platform, but the words he did say were well received. In his car with him rode Joe Burke, prominent Santa Ana attorney, and Thomas McFadden well known lawyer of Anaheim, introducing him at the various stopping points. The mayor addressed an enthusiastic gathering at Anaheim shortly after 11 o'clock. He spoke at the corner of Los Angeles and Chartres streets, and from the back seat of the pheaton in which he was traveling. "There is a surplus," the governor commented in his speech at Anaheim, "of $30,000,000 which the governor of the state points to as good reason for his re-election. I believe that the elec- VOTERS WRITE VERDICT ON DAM ISSUE Proposition for Contracts With U. S. to be Placed on November Ballot, Latest Report Voters of Southern California in November will write on the ballots their individual decision on the merits of the Boulder dam development project by empowering, or denying the right of, the various city councils to sign an agreement with Uncle Sam for power from the dam. This decision was reached following filing by Arizona of legal portests against the power development project, in which the sister state claimed that without direct authorization by vote from the people in various localities affected, that the agreement by city councils with the United States government would not be legal. Announcement that Anaheim voters could cast their ballot on the proposition was made Wednesday by City Manager John W. Price, who with Mayor Louis E. Miller and O. E. Stewart attended a conference Tuesday in Los Angeles, in which Norvutt Ely, representing Secretary Wilbur of the In- A Landslide for Sleeper As the primary campaign draws to its close there are convincing evidences that large sums of money are being spent in Orange county in a vain endeavor to defeat James Sleeper for Assessor. Where is this money coming from? Certainly not from ranchers nor the business men, for there exists no evidence that any of them are contributing sums of money to advance the interests of any candidate. It is therefore safe to assume that this money comes from outside sources, from the corporations who desire to defeat Mr. Sleeper, because he is making 'them pay their just proportion of the taxes. Large sums are being expended in billboard and newspaper advertising, and money has been freely offered public speakers to campaign against Sleeper. Who is putting this money up? Despite this condition of affairs Sleeper has been going along on the even tenor of his way, conducting a clean campaign free from personal influence and attack. He needs to employ no such methods. He is the first assessor in this county who ever assessed mineral rights of oil companies, or their pipe lines or their equipment. He has collected this year a check for $442,000 from one oil company for its mineral rights, while its wells and oil are also adequately assessed. He has no inequalities in his assessment roll. If any such exists and they do not exist, why does not the Board of Equalization cause proper changes to be made? The fact that the Board of Equalization has made but very few changes prominent Santa Ana attorney, and Thomas McFadden well known lawyer of Anaheim, introducing him at the various stopping points. The mayor addressed an enthusiastic gathering at Anaheim shortly after 11 o'clock. He spoke at the corner of Los Angeles and Chartres streets, and from the back seat of the phanton in which he was traveling. "There is a surplus," the governor commented in his speech at Anaheim, "of $30,000,000 which the governor of the state points to as good reason for his re-election. I believe that the electorate of this state is convinced of the opposite. There is no reason why a state should have such a large surplus, and our having one is proof that our people are overtaxed." There is, indeed, only one state in the union which pays more taxes than California; that state is Nevada whose small population is naturally burdened with the whole cost of its government. Our large population should cause the per capita tax to be small. Yet it is the second largest in the nation. This spring, when a great army of unemployed marched upon the city hall of San Francisco, demanding work, I met them, sympathized with them, and then proceeded to have some of the surplus monies of the city treasury given over to public improvement so that unemployment would at least diminish. At the same time that I was doing this, the state's chief executive was doing nothing. He refused to touch the surplus that over-taxation had brought into the state treasury, avidly desiring to keep it intact so that the voters could be shown at election time what an economy program had done. "If I am to have the honor of being the Republican nominee for the governorship, I want you to know that I will be the nominee of the entire state; and if it is my honor to be your next governor, I tell you now that there will be no sectionalism, no partisanship of one part of the state. I want to be governor of California—of all of it. And let the people know that, I am conducting this personal campaign and endeavoring to know all the problems of every section of the state." Mr. Rolph recalled the happy visit to Anaheim when he had the honor of opening the California Valencia Orange Show. Before leaving, he volced the hope that he had the confidence of the people of Anaheim. Before commencing his round of the cities, Mr. Rolph gave a short talk to some of his personal friends and admirers of the county, among who were representatives from a majority of the county newspapers, all endorsing his candidacy. His words there, spoken on the front steps of the Stanton home, were not the usual, but concerned some of the humorous features of his state campaign and those of some of the opposition. He told of the milking contest in the north in which he had won second prize, and of the time in one of his mugging by Arizona or legal portraits against the power development project, in which the sister state claimed that without direct authorization by vote from the people in various localities affected, that the agreement by city councils with the United States government would not be legal. Announcement that Anaheim voters could cast their ballot on the proposition was made Wednesday by City Manager John W. Price, who with Mayor Louis E. Miller and O. E. Stewart attended a conference Tuesday in Los Angeles, in which Norcutt Ely, representing Secretary Wilbur of the interior department, outlined the project. Proposition as it will formally appear on the ballot will be drawn up at a meeting of engineers Friday in Los Angeles. Contracts will be submitted within two weeks, and must be signed by April 15, 1931, if the city wishes to enter the agreement. ACME CLEANERS REMODEL PLANT Eldo R. West Secures Permit for $1500 Alterations; Contractor Begins Work on Plant Eldo R. West, owner and manager of Acme Cleaners, Thursday morning took out a building permit for $1500 alterations and remodeling of the cleaning plant at 920 North Los Angeles street. Contractor A. C. Vary was scheduled to begin work at once on placing new fire doors, a new ventilating system, new equipment and clarifying apparatus, to make the plant one of the most modern in Southern California. With the new apparatus, the plant will comply fully with the new state law requiring specific safety measures in all cleaning and dyeing establishments. Nearly every plant in the state must be remodeled to comply with the law. Mr. West anticipates that, because of the modernness of the plant, it will require but two weeks to make such changes as are demanded by the new state law. The main plant is on north Los Angeles, and the branch office at 105 South Palm street. Pair Scheduled to Return From Lake E. C. Kendrick, local jeweler, and David Morris, who operates a women's ready-to-wear establishment on West Center street, were scheduled to return to Anaheim Friday from a week's vacation at Gen Lake, in the High Sierras. They motored north with friends from Long Beach a week ago, leaving their automobile at June Lake and camping back into the rugged mountains, where they anticipated a large umpendo and attack. He needs to employ no such methods. He is the first assessor in this county who ever assessed mineral rights of oil companies, or their pipe lines or their equipment. He has collected this year a check for $442,000 from one oil company for its mineral rights, while its wells and oil are also adequately assessed. He has no inequalities in his assessment roll. If any such exists and they do not exist why does not the Board of Equalization cause proper changes to be made? The fact that the Board of Equalization has made but very few changes in Sleeper's assessments during many years has proved that his assessments are adequately made upon all tax payers. The statement that he uses low values in the southern part of the country and high values in the northern part is too utterly absurd for thinking men to consider. What is the board of Equalization doing if there are inequalities in the assessment roll. Mr. Sleeper has an advertisement on another page of this edition to which attention of our readers is respectfully directed. He requires all the great corporations in the county to pay just and equitable taxes as he requires the ranch owners and businessmen to do His method of assessing oil properties and mineral rights has been adopted by every county in the state where such properties exist. He is the one outstanding assessor in the state whose methods are followed by other assessors. He should be re-elected, and he will be re-elected. That he will sweep the county, we have not the remotest notion of a doubt. It looks like an old fashioned landslide for Jim Sleeper for assessor. We urge our readers to stand by this incorruptible and fearless official and return him to the office which he now so efficiently fills. Telling Friends of Northwest Wonders Returning from an extended vacation in the Pacific northwest. Mr. and Mrs. Harry S. Janey of 125 North Olive street, and Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Cornwell and daughter Alice of Yorba Linda, this week are telling friends about the wonders of Crater Lake, Oregon Caves, Redwood Highway, and other scenic places. The quintet returned recently from a month's journey. On their return from Vancouver, Mr. and Mrs. Janey stopped for a few days' visit with their son, Stewart, who is employed at Oakland. Baby Mistakes Pill for Candy and Dies Three-year-old Sophia Franco took a sweet pill which she thought was candy and today she is mourned by friends Before commencing his round of the cities, Mr. Rolph gave a short talk to some of his personal friends and admirers of the county, among who were representatives from a majority of the county newspapers, all endorsing his candidacy. His words there, spoken on the front steps of the Stanton home, were not the usual, but concerned some of the humorous features of his state campaign and those of some of the opposition. He told of the milking contest in the north in which he had won second prize, and of the time in one of his trips by air when the plane's motor stopped several thousand feet up. After staying last night at St. Ann's Inn, in Santa Ana, Mr. Rolph spent today in San Diego county. Over the week-end he will be in both Los Angeles and San Francisco. He will wind up his long and strenuous campaign Monday evening with an address at Oakland. John Law Exacts Toll From Berger H. C. Berger of Garden Grove, accepting responsibility for four bottles of beer found in his automobile at 3 o'clock Tuesday morning when police officers arrested him, appeared before Judge Frank Tausch Tuesday afternoon and received a sentence of 30 days in jail and a $100 fine on a reckless driving count; a fine of $100 with an alternative of 50 days in jail on a possession charge; and a fine of $25 or 12½ days in jail, suspended, on an intoxication count. Two companions, Glen Hunter of 537 Chestnut street and F. S. Luce of 407 South Los Angeles street, were given their option of paying a $25 fine or spending 12½ days in jail. John Molt Gets Building Permit John Molt secured a building permit Tuesday for construction of a brick store-room at 1117 West Center street. Estimated cost is $4,000. John Volz was named as contractor. Return From Lake E. C. Kendrick, local jeweler, and David Morris, who operates a women's ready-to-wear establishment on West Center street, were scheduled to return to Anaheim Friday from a week's vacation at Gen Lake, in the High Sierra. They motored north with friends from Long Beach a week ago, leaving their automobile at June Lake and camping back into the rugged mountains, where they anticipated a large catch of fish each day. They journeyed to the same location last year. GOES EAST FOR VISIT Miss Ella Brenner of 841 North Dickel street left Wednesday for a three-month visit with her brother and sister at Philadelphia. En route east she will stop off at Dallas, Galveston and St. Louis for visits with friends and relatives. Billy’s Sign-Sitting Record Sign of Luck; Nets Him $100 Billy Knott's tied a knot that ought not to be unknotted. It's in the sign-sitting laurels, the championship of which goes to the local 14-year-old youngster who at 10 o'clock Thursday night was to climb down from his perch on the sign overlooking the Lilliput golf course at Chartres and Clemente streets, with a record of 680 hours "in the air." Billy went aloft at noon, July 24 and didn't touch earth for 28 days and eight hours. Boys elsewhere as well as here took to the trees, but not Billy Knott. He secured a ladder, a couple of planks, a canvas and a determination to stay up an even four weeks, and scampered up the golf course sign. It proved to be a sign of good luck, too. For not many youngsters Bill's age can boast about $100 collected in the past month, from labor or otherwise. Billy checked his assets Thursday night and found: Cash, Clarence Ward and Dick Lusk, $45; Charles Tuma, $5; Simon Tolley, $25; pledges for another $5, making a grand total of $80. Then there were prizes pledged from Pete Wisser and several other merchants, who "divied in" to make the enurance champion's time worthwhile. Billy lacked not for company. In fact, he had visitors at nearly all hours of the day and night, and had many unexpected queries "shot" at him. From his eagle-like perch where he could "look down" on those below, he surveyed the course and believes he can step out this week-end and set a course record, for he knows every hole and every hazard. Instead of losing weight, like most of the treesitters, Billy actually picked up about 10 pounds. He says that: "Sign-sitting isn't difficult. It's the easiest way I've ever earned $100. I'm glad I made it (referring to the record 680 hours in the air)." Billy is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Knott of 118 South Philadelphiia street. He attended St Joseph's academy last year. Sixty Years of Progress GROWING WITH ANAHEIM SINCE 1870 THE GAZETTE 108 N. EMILY Number 47 EDITORIAL for Sleeper Rolph, the Californian When, on next Tuesday, California—condescending for the moment to leave her labors and do her duty at the polls—decides who of the five candidates on the Republican ballot she is going to elect governor, her decision will go a long way towards determining what road the state will travel during the ensuing four years. In the case of the governorship in this overwhelmingly Republican state, the issue will be decided at next week's primary. It is of utmost importance, then, that the Republican electorate of the state know whereof it stamps its ballot so far as our highest state office goes. The man who will be elected is to be governor of California. He will not be either a representative of the south or a champion of the north. He will fill his post as a Californian, fulfilling his duties as he sees them, caring or thinking naught of sectionalism, guiding the ship of state for the good of all. It would seem that our state would be intelligent enough to realize which candidate would best be suited for the office, yet, even if this be the case, the despicable appeals of sectionalism, and the contemptible clouding and falsifying by some of the candidates of the facts have so befuddled the minds of the electorate that it will be only after a careful investigation of each gubernatorial candidate that our voters will be qualified to elect one of them. An investigation of James Rolph Jr., and of the past twenty years that he has given to public service will, when compared to the achievements of the ANAHEIM WATER PRAISED FOR PURENESS Unwarranted Rumor About Contamination Set at Rest by Expert's Report Setting at rest unwarranted rumors which spread with great rapidity during the latter part of July, Dr. R. F. Goudey, sanitary engineer for the department of water and power for the City of Los Angeles, and formerly connected with the state health department, late last week declared in a letter to Manager John W. Price. "Anaheim's city water is positively safe for domestic purposes and more than meets the strictest standards in vogue anywhere in the United States." "Not only does the absence of B. Coll prove the water safe against the possible spread of communicable diseases transmitted by water, but the unusually low total bacterial count indicates that the water in addition to being safe is remarkably clean." Rumor Refuted "The only known diseases which may be spread by water are typhoid, paratyphoid, dysentery and Asiatic cholera. Any claims that other diseases may be transmitted by water are not based on be intelligent enough to realize which candidate would best be suited for the office, yet, even if this be the case, the despicable appeals of sectionalism, and the contemptible clouding and falsifying by some of the candidates of the facts have so befuddled the minds of the electorate that it will be only after a careful investigation of each gubernatorial candidate that our voters will be qualified to elect one of them. An investigation of James Rolph Jr. and of the past twenty years that he has given to public service will, when compared to the achievements of the opposing candidates, reveal the great ability Mr. Rolph possesses, and conclusively prove that he should be our next chief executive. Against the opprobrium which some of the opposition has endeavored to heap upon his good name, Mr. Rolph has simply offered up his record as mayor in one of California's two largest cities. He has not—indeed, with his amiability, he could—engage in the bitter invective that has served to blacken the campaigns of some of the opposition. And in conducting his campaign in such a clean manner, certainly the only manner for a gubernatorial campaign to be carried on, the San Francisco has that much more distinguished himself as the only candidate in whom the great and distinguished state of California should repose its trust. As great a tribute to James Rolph as has been given has come from the lips of Judge Matt I. Sullivan, himself a personal friend of Rolph, and former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of California; The character of Mayor Rolph's administration has induced capitalists to invest in our city hundreds of millions of dollars... Capital and labor are at peace, and have been for years. Our school teachers, police officers, fire department, members and city employees are protected by civil service provisions of our charter and receive not only living but saving wages and salaries. The taxes levied in our city are less than those assessed in any other large city in the United States, property being assesser at fifty per cent or less of its actual value. To publish in its entirety the glowing tribute to Mr. Rolph which the former Chief Justice gave him would consume too much space here, but enough has been reproduced to show in what condition the city in which he, has been mayor for five successive terms is in at the present. Let California pause before she votes for governor; let her ponder the history of each of those individuals whose names are before her for choosing. Let her do these things, and "as surely as the sun will rise and set on the 26th day of August next, this unchangeable optimist and monumental builder of a great city will become the Sunny Governor of California." Rumor Refuted "The only known diseases which may be spread by water are typhoid, paratyphoid, dysentery and Aslatic cholera. Any claims that other diseases may be transmitted by water are not based on any sound knowledge as to what constitutes safe water and how water borne diseases are spread." Samples of water from the city's water system were taken on July 29 and submitted to Dr. Goudey, after rumors that a local physician had reported the water unsafe. Dr. J. W. Truxaw, one of the best known and leading local authorities on sanitation, declared the water perfectly safe and free from any contamination. However, to completely set at rest any fears spread by the rumor, the city manager and other local officials sent the samples of water to Dr. Goudey for study and report. Technicalities to Play Major Part Technicalities will play a major part in Attorney Buel R. Wood's appearance before Presiding Judge George K. Scovel on August 29 to argue his motion to set aside present judgment against Rev. Phillip A. Goodwin, now serving a life term at Folsom for the murder of Joseph J. Patterson in Santa Ana canyon. The attorney's strategy revealed with the filing Tuesday of a motion in superior court to set aside judgment pronounced more than two years ago, is to include substitution of oral judgment of Judge Marks for the admittedly legal judgment entered by the clerk, and a claim of invalidity, thus requiring that Goodwin be resentenced. This would necessitate a new trial, and the defense that Goodwin already had been placed in jeopardy. A change of venue from Orange county also would be demanded. VACATION IN NORTH Mr. and Mrs. John Cassou and daughter, Miss Ruby Cassou of 310 West Center street are expected to return to Anaheim about September 1, following an extended vacation at a northern resort. HOUSE GUESTS Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ellege of Orlando, were house guests this week of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Sears of North Los Angeles street. Mrs. Ellege and the hostess are sisters. Hilgenfelds Give Farewell for Kin Miss Esther Hilgenfeld, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hilgenfeld, was honored at a farewell party given by her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Hilgenfeld of 202 West Broadway Monday. Miss Hilgenfeld will sail from San Pedro next Monday for the Isle of Pines, where she will teach for five years in a missionary school.
