Will Old Glory Reign Supreme When Olympic Games Finish This Summer? Foreign Stars Making Gigantic Strides Forward as They Make Assault on World Records in Preparation for Athletic Carnival; Cromwell, Cady Worried About Chances Will the Stars and Stripes again wave triumphantly over the athletic world at the conclusion of the Olympic games in Los Angeles this summer? With plans for the international celebration nearing their final stage of preparation and with foreign athletes already arriving for their period of strenuous pre-Olympic training, this is the question on the tongue of every prospective visitor to the games. "Actual performances in other countries show that they are going forward with great strides while American athletes are basking in the warm sunshine of past glories," said Fred Cary, diving coach for the American team. "It appears that the only cure for American conceit is for us to take a first class drubbing in the forthcoming games." Cady's view is shared in no small measure by Coach Dean Cromwell, chairman of the All-American board of track and field. "If Uncle Sam wants to carry off honors in the track events we will have to do it in the short races," declared Cromwell. "When it comes to the distance events the United States will have little more than a look-in." Famous Athletes Arrive Meanwhile final preparations for the games are going forward at a feverish pace. Olympic torch, which touches 120 feet above the entrance to the main stadium and which will burn during the entire 16 days and nights of the games, has been completed. The Tribune of Honour, where President Hoover and other visiting notables will sit during the opening ceremony on the afternoon of July 30 has also been installed. The same is true of the promenade, over which the president and his party will be conducted upon his arrival as the stadium. Many of the world's outstanding athletes have either arrived or are en route to Los Angeles. Those already on the scene include Count Alberto Zuccoli. Olympic games visitors to communicate direct with the headquarters in Los Angeles. The willingness of the various chambers to act as the local information bureau for their respective district will aid materially in supplying quick and accurate information to those who are planning to attend the international celebration. Actual ticket sales, however, will continue to be conducted through the Olympic games ticket department. Eighth and Spring streets, Los Angeles. And This Isn't a "Hopped Up" Yarn President H. H. Hale, Superintendent W. T. Wallop, Secretary Leo Sheridan and other officials of the Union Water company called Wednesday to pay their respects to one of their Santa Ana canyon tenants. The host was so pleased he sat them down to an elaborate table and fed them frog legs and other "wild" delicacies. So pleased were some of the members at the unexpected repast that they jumped at the chance and took orders of as high as six frog legs. When the officials returned to work Wednesday afternoon they hopped about to catch up with their labors, and wondered just a little if they would keep hopping all night. stadium and which will burn during the entire 16 days and nights of the games, has been completed. The Tribune of Honour, where President Hoover and other visiting notables will sit during the opening ceremony on the afternoon of July 30 has also been installed. The same is true of the promenade, over which the president and his party will be conducted upon his arrival at the stadium. Many of the world's outstanding athletes have either arrived or are en route to Los Angeles. Those already on the scene include Count Alberto Zorillo, the sensational swimmer from Argentine; Paul Reisen, Switzerland's champion high jumper; Fred Simalka, the Egyptian diver and Bobby Pierce, peer of Australia's oarsmen. Coming as a forerunner of the world celebration, Japan's equestrian entrants, consisting of 12 of the most highly trained mounts in the Empire, have also arrived in the city and are now in training. The riders are scheduled to arrive with other members of the Japanese team on June 28. Close Cooperation Indication of the large number of local residents who are planning to attend the Olympic games in Los Angeles from July 30 to August 14, inclusive, is seen in the flood of inquiries for ticket information received at the local chamber of commerce during the past week. Chambers throughout Southern California are working in close cooperation with the organizing committee in Los Angeles in supplying the public with data of this character. Heretofore it had been necessary for prospective new forest maps issued for State. A new recreation map showing the 18 national forests of the California region, together with important cities and towns, and the main highways, has just been issued by the U.S. forest service, according to report from the office of the regional forester in San Francisco. The unique feature of this map is that the base is a photographic reproduction of a relief of the physical geography of the state. In addition to the national forests, state and national parks and monuments are also shown. Printed text on the back of the map gives full information on camping, list of free public camp grounds, rules for fire prevention and other recreational data concerning the national forests. Copies of the map may be obtained from forest rangers or by addressing the forest supervisors of the individual national forests.

The board of supervisors, looking for ways and means of cutting taxes and still adequately meeting public demands for service, last week arrived at the conclusion that the present rate of 6 to 10 cents a mile, which will be paid until the new fiscal year, is too much. Accordingly they reduced the mileage rate to 4½ cents per mile.

PAID IN TAXES (Continued from page 1) counties' indebtedness was 1200 times population growth. Here's another discrepancy which must make us stop to ponder. Assessed valuation for the same period, from 1911 to 1931, increased but 263 per cent. Toward the state's tax bill of $600,000,-000, every man and woman and child, on the average, pays $105.95—almost one-third of the basic income of the state! What can be done to decrease costs that eat up 33 cents out of ever $1.00 earned in the state? This question makes us stop to sum up and take stock of our government functions. If there are leaks, plug them; if inefficiencies eat up this tremendous sum, end them; measure the cost and value received for every item of expense. In doing this we discover that, because of provisions in the state constitution regulating expenditures for the state, county and municipality, and various legal restrictions placed on counties and cities, the governor and legislature of California have control only over one-third of the total $273,-000,000 biennial budget; that boards of supervisors, as pointed out in a previous article about Orange county expenses, have little control over the taxes levied in their respective counties; that in many places, city councils have power over only about one-fourth of the city expenses. Flxed Expense Levy In the state, as pointed out previously, in the Gazette articles, the state constitution provides that $30 must be paid for every student in average daily attendance for elementary and high school districts of the state; that counties shall match this sum for grammar schools dollar for dollar; that counties shall double the high school apportionment. In counties, the supervisors control only expenditures in county road districts; general county, which includes general government, protection to persons and property, conservation of health, charities and corrections, etc. They do not have control over schools, special districts, cities, general county (fixed by law) which includes salaries and bond interest and redemption. And it is the uncontrollable expenditures which have, in many cases, multiplied many times since 1913. This condition dictates a necessary step, a rewriting of the state constitution, or at least many of its provisions. Cut Expenses Other ways of cutting down governmental expense include; Eliminating non-essential services, abolishing overlapping functions, consolidating bureaus and departments, playes like it or not they will use less gasoline and oil on their private automobiles used in public service and one which they are paid on a mileage basis. The board of supervisors, looking for ways and means of cutting taxes and still adequately meeting public demands for service, last week arrived at the conclusion that the present rate of 6 to 10 cents a mile, which will be paid until the new fiscal year, is too much. Accordingly they reduced the mileage rate to 4½ cents per mile. Favorable Outlook For Oil Well Seen Favorable outlook for finding a major oil field on the community lease under which a test well is being sunk on the Horace Skinner property cast of Brookhurst road off Orangethorpe, according to Organizer Max Royer, who reports the well down to past the 2,000-foot level. Little difficulty has been experienced in drilling, and different formations have been found than in other similar wells in the Anaheim district, Royer stated. If oil is struck in paying quantities the group sponsoring the first well is prepared to begin extensive drilling.

He is also director in the Anatomy Building and Loan association. Much Work Yet To Do Supervisor Schumacher has been good man on the job and has succeeded in bringing more money for roads and other betterments to this trict than all the other men combine who have ever held the position. He was largely responsible for the boon refusal to permit the populous Coat seat to annex a large portion of moneys allotted to this county, pointed out that as other incorporated cities were receiving none of their funds, no exception could be made to the case of Santa Ana. He also pointed out that this state fund of road money could not be legally disbursed to city streets, however, much they may be used in through traffic, but must applied to county roads. He thus ceased in securing a large amount money for these county roads and adequate sum was brought to district. Orange county has now finest network of paved highway; the state and much of this splice condition is due to him. There are many miles of county roads remain to be paved in this district, and I have one man above all others who see to it that this money shall be pended upon these county thoroughfares instead of permitting a popup city to get a large share of it on plea that its streets are used in connection with the county roads. For this non-necessist stand he incurred the five county of disgruntled politicians the county seat who take a delight hurling rocks at him, nevertheless voters of this district stand solidlyhind him in all these matters,and uphold his hands in his efforts to burse these state funds where properly belong. Bill a Go-getter He is a man of commanding stature and his talents lead into various lines of endeavor, from the re-opening of closed banks to guarding the wells of rural dwellers, whose interests everything are paramount with everytime. His re-opening of Southern County Bank has such a tremendous financial success that it has called forth great profit from state and federal bank offices who pronounce the bank's success re-opening one of the most outstanding financial achievements in the history of the country. Not only that, but state bank examiner, who was received here placed a large sum of state money for safe keeping in the bank which flourished like a green bay tree.

Members of that group worked until midnight Tuesday in thrashing over costs of city government, and were scheduled to do about the same thing Thursday evening, when they were to go over the budget item by item. Reorganization of the city government by elimination of the manager, consolidation of the offices of city clerk and accountant, appointment of the city clerk as street superintendent also, and elimination of three employees required virtual complete redrawing of the original budget. Three former employees, Accountant A. G. Tuma, and Engineer Assistants Millard Parks and Ewald Lemke left the city forces June 1. Action on petitions asking for reduction of city license fees for realtors and barbers was delayed. Members expressed sympathy with the requests, but felt that if granted there were many other business houses in the same financial straights who would be entitled to similar favors. Three drinking fountains were ordered installed at the city park, one at tennis courts, one at the picnic ground and the other near the children's wading pool. City employees will do their work. Cost will be $75. Efforts to reduce further the cost of city government probably will conclude next on the library which is year received $18,751.03 through library taxes. Decision as to just how reduction will be made, though possible by reduction of salaries, was left up some future meeting. Salaries received in the department are: Miss Elizabeth Calnon, librarian; $210; Florence Swerdfeger; $136; Elva Haskett; $149; Ethel M. Lewis; $140; Anna B. Carne; $125; Wilma Luhring; $125; Janice Carl F. Dohm; $100. Virtual completion of exchange offices of the city clerk from the second floor to the quarters formerly occupied by the chamber of commerce, with the latter going upstairs, was noticed this week as employees began to get accustomed to the new arrangement. Florida May 21 He is now an extensive orange grower and is one of the prosperous men of the community. He is in every sense a self-made man, and yet remains the plain farmer he always was. His acquaintance with leading citizens extends to many portions of the state, yet his neighbors call him "Bill" and he is ever ready to assist those with whom he comes in contact. He has done more friendly deeds for other people than any man who ever lived in the county. He was for several years president of the board of supervisors and voluntarily gave up the office so the honor might rotate among members of the board. This act is just like the man he is, and speaks volumes for the interest he takes in the welfare of those about him. So well pleased was the state bank examiner with the splendid financial showing of the Southern County Bank that he has placed $10,000 of state funds on deposit there. His work was also highly complimented by a representative of the Federal Reconstruction Finance Corporation and it has been called to the attention of leading financiers at Washington. His many friends throughout the district offer his name as a candidate for supervisor, and assure the people that he will continue to be the safe and sane man on the job and will bring home the bacon whenever it comes to the disbursement of state moneys upon the thoroughfares of this county. In this as in all other things he will be a dependable public servant and is richly entitled to the support of the people.

It is one way Joe has of getting a laugh out of life. Wrong Location of Still Corrected Instead of location on land leased from the V. G. Yorba ranch, the still seized as a result of a brush fire ten days ago was taken on a location leased from the Mrs. E. C. Yorba place, nearly two miles from the V. G.
