Joint Tax Body In 2nd Tax Plea Requests Board of Supervisors Aid In Appealing to School Boards for Economy The joint tax committee of the Orange county realty boards and the Orange county farm bureau recently mailed a second letter to all county officials and school trustees in Orange county. The letter particularly asked officials and school trustees to write them stating their position, and how they would cooperate in their own department in the reduction of costs. The joint tax committee consists of the following representatives: Santa Ana realty board, Asa Hoffman, W. F. Croddy, Charles Aubrey; Orange realty board, O. M. Rodiech; Newport realty board, Lew Wallace, Louis W. Briggs; Anaheim realty board, B. H. Sidnain; Fullerton realty board, Howard Irwin; Laguna realty board, N. E. West. Farm bureau representatives are: LeRoy Lyon, Anaheim; F. B. Browning, Tustin; J. A. Smiley, W. Orange; Roy Runnels, Tustin; Wm. Kroeger Jr., Fullerton; R. D. Flaherty, Santa Ana. The letter mailed is given below and signed by the chairman of the joint tax committee, Asa Hoffman and the secretary R. D. Flaherty. "Just recently we mailed you a letter containing an appeal for assistance in reducing the costs of government generally. This letter was mailed to all school trustees and public officials in Orange county. We have tried to keep our appeal strictly constructive and helpful to those who have the spending of tax funds in their charge. "We believe you thoroughly understand and sympathize with our efforts. We are working for but one thing—the reduction of government costs and taxes. But we need your individual help. The opportunity of relieving the taxpayers rests entirely with you and other county officials." Before then end of this month most Hoover to Attend Trojan Luncheon Dr. von KleinSmid Will Preside At Official N. E. A. Welcome July 30 With President Hoover scheduled to be the principal speaker, plans were being formulated at the University of Southern California for a noon luncheon to be held on the Trojan campus July 30 at which more than 700 delegates to the annual convention of the National Editorial association are to be guests.

Immediately following the Trojan luncheon, convention delegates will adjourn to the Olympic stadium where President Hoover is to open the Xth Olympiad at 2:30 o'clock on the afternoon of July 30. Plans for the N. E. A. gathering at University park are being completed by Prof. Roy L. French, chairman of the U. S. C. department of journalism, in cooperation with officials of the California Newspaper Publishers association. The invitation to President Hoover to meet with the visiting editors at Southern California has been extended by Justus F. Craemer, vice-president, and Herbert Hotaling, executive secretary of N. E.

Already hundreds of thousands of families in this country and abroad are saving each month with Electrolux the Gas Refrigerator. This year thousands more will choose this modern way to keep food fresh and cut expenses to a minimum. Electrolux is the big new idea in automatic refrigeration. It keeps food fresh, supplies a sufficient amount of ice cubes, makes frozen deserts and salads, all by a very simple operation. A tiny gas flame and a tiny trickle of water circulates the refrigerant that produces cold and freezes ice cubes. And does it for 3 to 4 cents a day. It's as simple as that. Call and see it operate.

Ledbetter is president of the Anaheim Ministerial union and pastor of the First Calvary Baptist church. ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS—Music, Drama, Dance.

Anti-Hooverites Hoping for Bolt (Continued from page 1) the 45 decided between election day and November and the first Wednesday in January that they preferred the republican candidates or the prohibition candidates, they could turn over the vote of New York state to the other party, regardless of how large a majority of individual voters had expressed themselves for a particular candidate. Smaller Delegations Nothing like that has ever happened, and nothing like that is at all likely to happen. The electors who went contrary to their parties that way would be forever out of politics. Nobody would trust them any more. And the type of men usually nominated in state conventions as presidential electors are a high-minded, honorable class and altogether unlikely to go contrary to the clearly expressed mandates of the voters at the polls. If anything of the sort ever should happen, it would be more likely to occur in some of the states with a smaller representation in the electoral college. Arizona, Delaware, Nevada, New Mexico and Wyoming have only three electoral votes each. Idaho, Montana, New Hampshire, Utah and Vermont have only four each. Two or three electors in any one of these states might kick over the traces and change the entire result of the presidential election. It does not depend in any way upon the number of popular ballots cast by the voters, but does depend upon the number of presidential electors voting for a given candidate. A president can be, and many presidents have been, elected and seated by a minority of the popular vote. Mr. Cleveland in 1892 got only 46 percent of the popular vote. Mr. Wilson had 42 percent of the popular vote in 1912 and 49 percent of it in 1916. But those candidates carried the larger states, with the largest number of electoral votes, and what elects the president is a majority of the total number of electros. The electors of each state meet at the state capitals on the first Wednesday.

A president can be, and many presidents have been, elected and seated by a minority of the popular vote. Mr. Cleveland in 1892 got only 46 percent of the popular vote. Mr. Wilson had 42 percent of the popular vote in 1912 and 49 percent of it in 1916. But those candidates carried the larger states, with the largest number of electoral votes, and what elects the president is a majority of the total number of electros. The electors of each state meet at the state capitals on the first Wednesday in January and record their votes, which are taken by messengers to Washington and counted by the House of representatives, which then declares the candidate having received the largest number of electoral votes to be elected president. Seeks Anti-Hoover Mo Move If no candidate has a majority of the electoral votes, however, the House of representatives itself has then the power to elect the president, and it doesn't have to choose from among the party nominees, but can go outside of them and elect anybody who is qualified. That, too, has never happened. On the two or three occasions early in our history when the election was thrown into the house of representatives, the leading party candidate was the one eventually chosen. But it might happen. Judge J. M. Hanley of North Dakota has started a movement for independent electoral tickets in as many states as possible, in the belief that there is a great mass of voters who would under no circumstances want to support democratic nominees and who will be opposed to the re-election of Mr. Hoover, who seems certain to be the republican nominee. If such independent lists of electors can be set up in a few strategically located states, and should be elected, there might be a sufficient number of independent electors, so chosen, to prevent either of the major party candidates from getting a majority in the electoral college. And that is what Judge Hanley and a group of anti-Hoover republicans are aiming at. They want to throw the election of 1932 into the house of representatives. That’s another thing that isn’t likely to happen, but also it is something that might happen. GRADUATES!! Your new sult for $24.50, tallor-made, too. Extra white pants FREE!!
