Orange's Share of Motor Carrier Tax Collection of the gross receipts tax on passenger and freight motor carriers of California netted the state $389,563 during the past six months, according to a report by state Controller Ray L. Riley. The amount will be divided between the counties and the state highway division, with a total of $194,791 as the county's share. Orange county received $4,746 of the apportionment. Litigation now pending in state courts has hampered collection of this tax by the state. The dispute centers around the fact that many freight carriers claim they are private, and not common, carriers. A common carrier is defined as a concern that operates between fixed terminals and on regular routes over California highways. Those protesting the tax do not wish to submit to regulation by the railroad commission, which supervises rates, schedules, etc., of all common carriers. Considerably more revenue is expected to accrue to the state when the various legal points have been settled by the courts. Several objections to the present form of taxation are raised by the state board of equalization, although the board admits the tax is a distinct improvement over the former motor vehicle transportation tax. Certain inequalities exist in the present law which should be removed, the board believes. The tax is restricted to companies operating as common carriers over regular routes or between fixed terminals; the classification excludes from its purview the operations of those hauling under contract or carrying on spasmodic business in different sectors. Frequently such operators come into direct competition with highway transportation companies and cause disastrous diminishment of the revenues of these companies, inasmuch as the contract haulers are not subject to as heavy taxation and feel at liberty to cut rates.

ACTION BY COUNTY SUPERVISORS The board of supervisors of Orange county, at its session in Santa Ana, Monday, directed the county auditor to draw a warrant for $145,000 on the general fund in payment for the property of Santa Ana Inn. The property is to remain in escrow with the Abstract Title & Guarantee Co., until proper deeds and certificate of title are delivered to the county. The board rescinded a resolution for leasing county land for gas and oil and a hearing was set for Oct. 28. Specification plans and profiles were presented for the construction og a wooden bridge over Coyote creek at Buena Park and bids will be received up to Oct. 28.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TELEPHONE COMPANY Public Invited to See Dial Methods Southern California Telephone Co. Will Keep Openhouse at New Building Saturday The Southern California Telephone Company is inviting the public to visit its new central office building Saturday to see the dial equipment and operating methods which make the new Anaheim telephone system possible. According to A. L. Bartlett, manager, the central office at 217 North Lemon street will be open from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. "The more people know about the new telephone system the better the telephone company will be able to serve the public," Mr. Bartlett said. "The more subscribers learn of the equipment required to make their telephone function properly, a vast mechanism of wires and cables and central offices, the more valuable the telephone system becomes to them. Vistors will see the new dial equipment in operation and will be shown how a telephone call goes in and out of the central office." "Of particular interest will be the selectors and connectors, the units of equipment that direct a telephone call and connect one subscriber with another. The long distance switchboard on the second floor will also attract much attention. Questions regarding the equipment will be answered by the staff of telephone people that guides Anaheim's telephone destiny day by day." Anaheim's telephone system is of the latest type of dial telephone exchange in use and is similar to those recently provided for a number of other Southern California communities. The long distance office is one of the best equipped in Southern California and has certain equipment identical with that of the new $2,000,000 long distance office recently established in Los Angeles. The equipment in the building, including both central office and long distance equipment, represents an expenditure of approximately $265,000. The telephone company is planning for a large number of visitors Saturday. An annual expenditure of $36,720 by the federal government on an almost completely unknown work directed from here hold possibilities of aid to the individual farmer which will shadow all the gigantic marketing, planting advisory and other projects sponsored by the government. The $36,720 mentioned is the yearly appropriation which the astrophysical observatory receives from Congress for its study of solar radiation. Solar radiation may sound technical; reduced to ordinary terms it means the heat the sun sends to the earth. In other words it is the source of life for everything that does live on this planet. Furthermore, if its variations and changes, heretofore unpredictable, can be reduced to an understandable system, the scientists who do so will be able to tell the farmer, insurance man, baseball fan and anyone else interested in the weather, just about what will be happening to the climate two years or more ahead. In other words, if the sun's eccentricities had been fully understood two years ago, the drought which has crippled so many individuals this year could not have crept upon us as it did. Every area which was likely to suffer would have been warned two years ago, in time to assure water supply, change plantings, even to dig wells or build additional storage structures. Dr. C. C. Abbott, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, who is directing this work, does not promise that predictions of such accuracy can be achieved at any time within the immediate future. But there is plenty of evidence to show that such prophecies will be routine work for the weather man of the future.

California Wealth In Soil Products Total Income for Year Estimated at More Than $750,000,000, Says Santa Fe Report GROWERS ARE OPTIMISTIC Grape Shipments Are Running Ahead of Last Year California agriculture will come through this year with a total income of more than $750,000,000, preliminary estimates show. This includes fruit of all kinds, vegetables, grain crops and livestock, and will compare favorably with the last five years, says a review of conditions as seen by the agricultural department of the Santa Fe Railroad. With the exception of citrus production in nearly all lines has been normal or better. The deciduous fruit crop is one of the heaviest in the history of the state, resulting in a surplus as well as low prices. Otherwise the total income might reach the high mark of $800,000,000, established last year. Despite curtailment efforts, grape shipments are running ahead of last year. So far prices have been unsatisfactory, causing more or less distress among growers; but it generally is believed that the market will strengthen could not have crept upon us as it did.

But there is plenty of evidence to show that such prophecies will be routine work for the weather man of the future. It is already known, for instance, the sun's radiation varies in periods of definite length, one period of two years, another of 15 months and another of definite length, one period of two years. Another of 15 months and another of 11 months. It is already known that the cycle of sunspots on the sun is 11 years. Taken together these make up what "seem a predictable variation of the sun," according to Dr. Abbott. single day's batch of statements from home to the casual visitor the vastness of the federal machinery more than a The complex nature of this study is heightened by the effect wind circulation over thousands of miles, also in cycles, and by the oceans, mountains and valleys in the earth's surface. So marked would be the effect of these factors that it has been shown that an increase in the radiation of the sun, far from causing higher temperature in North America, would cause cooler temperature because of the effect of clouds, humidity and similar forces over this continent. All that is needed, however, despite these complications, to enable successful long-range weather forecasts, is more statistics, say these scientists. The astrophysical observatory is gathering these through its stations in California, in Chile and, cooperating with the National Geographic Society, in southwestern Africa. In addition, observers all over the world are engaged in the same work on humidity, clouds, winds and the related phenomena. Practical long-range forecasting therefore may not be nearly so far in the future as it now appears. Few things in Washington bring the commerce department press room. Here in a single handful of blue and white minneograph paper is information on coffee prices in Haiti, sale of automobiles in Hejaz, the Danish trade in rubber footwear, installation of new airports in British Honduras and even the status of an air traffic investigation now under way in Greenland. All of these are actual specimens of the data department daily grinds out. These are the tangible results of the hundreds of long fingers the department has in foreign commercial ples. Each is based on a report from an individual trade commissioner. The government is spending $1,862,563 on the work this year. In 1925 it spent $1,208,844. With the exception of citrus, production in nearly all lines has been normal or better. The deciduous fruit crop is one of the heaviest in the history of the state, resulting in a surplus as well as low prices. Otherwise the total income might reach the high mark of 880,000,000, established last year. Despite curtailment efforts, grape shipments are running ahead of last year. So far prices have been unsatisfactory, causing more or less distress among growers; but it generally is believed that the market will strengthen after October 1. This crop is now estimated at 2,078,000 tons. Peach canning is at an end, packers taking only 13,000,000 cases out of a total crop of 693,000 tons. The apple crop is estimated at 11,502,000 bushels; pears 227,000 tons; plums 74,000 tons; prunes 234,000 tons; apricots 209,000 tons; almonds 12,500 tons; and walnuts 31,000 tons. The walnut crop is now maturing and it is thought that a sufficient quantity will be ready to take care of the Thanksgiving market. The walnuts are large and of good quality. The coming season's citrus crop which will start with navel oranges December 1, continues in excellent conditions, and growers are optimistic over the outlook. Production will be considerably above that of the present season ending with the final shipment of Valencia oranges in October. Good prices for citrus have prevailed since the season started last fall, the lemon market throughout the season being especially healthy. Potato and onion shipments continue heavy from the northern part of the state, and potato growers indicate that they will increase their acreage next year. The lima bean crop, now being harvested, will be about equal to that of last year, with every prospect of good prices. Fall tomatoes continue to progress favorably and will soon start moving in volume. Cotton picking is under way, but prices are low. The physical condition of stock and ranges are fairly satisfactory and will improve with the fall rains, expected soon. Some rain has already been reported in the northern part of the state. "Kingston (Ohio) streets are deserted after nightfall because two families of skunks are roaming them," says a dispatch. What do they mean, deserted? A street with a skunk on it is crowded. E. Zitzman Enters Realty Loan Field E.
