C.—The Bonus Expeditionary Force is scattering back to the states where its members came from, with the aid of $100,000 appropriated by Congress to send them home. Washington is glad to get rid of them because their presence here has kept away form the city a large proportion of the usual Summer tourists, who have been afraid of a mob uprising. There never was any danger of that but outsiders didn't realize it. Checking Up On "Honest Graft" Political propagandists of both parties have been busy digging into the records of "honest graft" on the part of members of the House and Senate, and have uncovered sources of income above their salaries, of which a majority of members of both parties seem to have availed themselves. Not that there is anything technically dishonest about putting members of one's family on the government payroll, or collecting travel and expense money which has not actually expended. Congress makes the laws governing those things, and Congress has carefully seen to it that there are many legal ways in which its members can add something to their $10,000 salaries. Every member, for example, is entitled to charge 40 cents a mile for travel between his home district and Washington, at the beginning and the end of each session of Congress. That runs up into material money in the case of a member from the Pacific Coast, who can put in a bill for close to $1,200 at least twice a year for "travel expense," whether he goes home between sessions or not.

Schumacher Every member, for example, is entitled to charge 40 cents a mile for travel between his home district and Washington, at the beginning and the end of each session of Congress. That runs up into material money in the case of a member from the Pacific Coast, who can put in a bill for close to $1,200 at least twice a year for "travel expense," whether he goes home between sessions or not. Some Fast Travelers Instances have been uncovered where members collected round-trip travel expenses between the end of a regular session and the beginning of a special session which began only a few days later, when it would have been impossible for them to go home and back in the time allowed. They got their travel pay, nevertheless Legal, of course—but is it legitimate and honest? In the matter of members of their families on Government payrolls, enough has already been disclosed to make some hundreds of Congressmen and not a few Senators anxious that nobody goes into their home districts with the facts. Each member is allowed $2,000 a year for a secretary. In addition, every committee of each house has an appropriation for a committee clerk, and that appointment is at the disposal of the chairman of the committee. Besides those functionaries, there are literally hundreds of other employees in and around the Capitol and the Senate and House office buildings—something more than 3,000 in all. Many members appoint their wives or their sons as secretaries, put nephews and other relatives in as pages, clerks and the like. The record is not yet complete, but enough has been discovered to indicate that there are comparatively few members of either house who have not been able to add a few thousand a year to the family income by these methods. Many Wrinkled Brows As stated before there is nothing partisan about this inquiry. Just about as many members of one party as of the other are concerned. Besides the money perquisites, members have luxurious offices furnished at Government expense, elaborate Turkish baths and barber shops, the best restaurant in Washington for their exclusive use, and many other luxuries which make the life of a Senator or Representative far from unpleasant. What is worrying some of them now, however, is the fear that the facts about these things will get back home where their constituents are groaning under the burden of taxes imposed by these same lawmakers. The facts might result in some embarrassing questions between now and election.

He addressed a large audience apparently well in accord with sentiments she expressed. The speaker told her opinion for the party to wholly adhere, and commit an example for her listening She demonstrated that an alcoholic liquor amendment made in Congress, and that the dry representatives there exclude the possibility of this state to the states of a proposed amendment, and thus nip the wets in the bud.

There's a Problem Ahead The settlement of the German reparations question at Lausanne has revived interest and discussion concerning the readjustment of Europe's debt to the United States. The best-informed persons here are convinced that we shall never collect any material amount of the principal of those debts, and that what will have to be worked out is some way of coming to a permanent settlement which will not be actual cancellation but will amount to the same thing in the end. A tough job for the diplomats. One corollary of that will be the necessity for refunding our own internal national debt, as Great Britain is doing with its bonds. There is no indication that we can pay off any more of our Liberty and Victory bonds for a long time to come, but one of the first problems which will have to be tackled by the next Administration, whether that be Mr. Hoover's or Mr. Roosevelt's, will be how to reduce the interest rate on the Federal debt. RED AND WHITE LIGHTNING U. S. Forest rangers distinguish two kinds of lightning, red and bluishwhite. Red lightning is usually accompanied by heavy rain and rarely starts fires because of the wet condition of the trees and ground cover. White lightning occurs during "dry" thunderstorms and is a much dreaded source of forest fires. European nations in conference at Lausanne are bending every effort to find a solution to the world's economic difficulties by saddling as much of the burden as possible on Uncle Sam.

The date has not yet been set but will be decided at the meeting of the Inter-County Walnut Growers Department of the Farm Bureau in session next Friday at the California Walnut Growers Association, Los Angeles. The time will probably be the latter part of August as indications point to an early harvest this season. The field day is held regularly under Endeavor to Aid Peach Growers An intensive campaign to encourage the home-canning of cling peaches as an emergency measure to help this distressed industry has been put into effect by Dudley Moulton, director of the state department of agriculture and state food administrator. Coming on the heels of a definite announcement by the cling peach control committee in San Francisco that all negotiations for a control of the 1932 Wets, Bourbons R. C. T. U. Officer Pleads For Retention of 18th Amendment Speaker under the auspices of the Orange County Law Enforcement League at the union church meeting held Sunday evening in the city park theatre, Mary Harris Armor, national officer and speaker for the Women's Christian Temperance Union, upheld the cause of prohibition, and vehemently denounced the democratic party and its plank calling for the repeal of the 18th amendment. Mrs. Armor addressed a large audience which was apparently well in accord with the sentiments she expressed. The speaker told of her own repudiation for the party to which she had always adhered, and commended it as an example for her listeners to follow. She demonstrated that any change in the liquor amendment must originate in Congress, and that the election of any representatives there would preclude the possibility of the submission to the states of a proposed repeal amendment, and thus nip the plans of the wets in the bud. "The plea of the wets," she said, "is that with the repeal of this part of our Constitution, there will immediately be more jobs and more employment. The wets say that the return of liquor would put 2,000,000 people to work. I find it difficult to follow their reasoning. The liquor industry never did employ more than 68,000 workers; why would so many more be needed now?" A fight in this state alone will occur in the question of repeal of the Wright Act, California's own prohibition law. Mrs. Armor urged her listeners to do all they could to see that law remained on the statute books. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE FOR SUNDAY "We have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and in him." These words of John constitute the Golden Text in the Lesson-Sermon on "Love" on Sunday in all branches of The Mother Church. The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. A Scriptural selection in the Lesson-Sermon includes these verses from Sealah: "Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not dismayed; for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee." Another Bible citation presents John's words: "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear; because fear hath torment.

The date has not yet been set but will be decided at the meeting of the Inter-County Walnut Growers Department of the Farm Bureau in session next Friday at the California Walnut Growers Association, Los Angeles. The time will probably be the latter part of August as indications point to an early harvest this season. The field day is held regularly under the auspices of the Agricultural Extension Service of the University of California and the Inter-County Walnut Growers Department of the Farm Bureau. A. J. McFadden, Santa Ana, is chairman of the Inter-County Department and Andrew Smiley, Garden Grove, is secretary. J. A. Smiley, West Orange, is chairman of the Walnut Department of the Orange County Farm Bureau, which cooperated with the Extension Service in the recent walnut growers' field tour held last week in Orange County. The tour included stops at the John Adams and J. R. Porter groves at Orange, the Mabury orchard at Tustin and the Irvine properties near Irvine. Soil moisture tests made to a depth of ten feet at the various stops showed good moisture content except in one orchard. Methods of thinning walnut orchards to allow more light in the trees and thus produce heavier yields were shown at the John Adams and Mabury orchards. The treatment of Melaxuma in walnut trees was demonstrated at the Irvine orchards under the supervision of Owen Murray, orchard foreman of the Irvine company. Over sixty walnut growers participated in the field tour which was directed by Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg and W. B. Hopper, Walnut Specialist of the Agricultural Extension Service. Horses to Star At State Fair When the little eohippus became a horse, full-sized, he solved the transportation problem of early mankind, but when the automobile came in, doom of the horse was declared to be assured. Now it appears that Dobbin is far from "through" judging from the important part he will play in the California State Fair this year. The list of premium offerings, just announced by the State Fair directors show a total of $63,815 in purses, prizes and premiums for all classifications of equines not excepting the humble mule and the braying burro. Peach Growers An intensive campaign to encourage the home-canning of cling peaches as an emergency measure to help this distressed industry has been put into effect by Dudley Moulton, director of the state department of agriculture and state food administrator. Coming on the heels of a definite announcement by the cling peach control committee in San Francisco that all negotiations for a control of the 1932 cling peach crop have been abandoned. Moulton's announcement brought renewed courage to the several thousand California peach growers who are facing bankruptcy unless some emergency measures are taken to dispose of this year's peaches. "I believe the plan is entirely feasible and can be put into effect on short notice," was the statement of Harry Polsey, Oroville peach grower, spokesman for a large number of Butte county growers. Polsey, who represented his district in five sessions of the state legislature, has already started investigations looking toward the disposal of peaches through the home-canning promotional work. Cooperation of retail food distributors in every part of the state has been pledged to the program. Moulton announced. In most instances food stores have agreed to handle the peaches on a consignment basis in order that they might be placed in the homes of consumers at the lowest possible cost. Figures compiled by Moulton indicate that peaches can be moved by truck from the Sutter-Yuba-Butte counties peach district to the San Francisco bay area at approximately $7.00 per ton, including the cost of picking. Allowing the growers approximately $15 per ton net on their fruit, peaches can be placed in the homes of consumers for less than two cents per pound. The fruit can be moved to other centers of population at the same proportionate cost. Investigations for the food administrator have learned that 40 pounds of cling peaches will make a dozen quarts of finished product. At this ratio, and with peaches expected to retail at not more than a cent and half a pound, it would permit housewives to put up peaches at approximately five cents per quart. "Our investigations have disclosed it would be financially impossible for the state to undertake the commercial canning of the surplus of cling peaches," Moulton said. "Such an undertaking would involve several million dollars, and there is no certainty that the finished product could be marketed, even through relief agencies, to return even the cost of processing." "We feel, however, that home-canning is the logical method of procedure. Every family in this and other states... When the little eohippus became a horse, full-sized, he solved the transportation problem of early mankind, but when the automobile came in, dozens of the horse was declared to be assured. Now it appears that Dobbin is far from "through" judging from the important part he will play in the California State Fair this year. The list of premium offerings, just announced by the State Fair directors show a total of $63,815 in purses, prizes and premiums for all classifications of equines not excepting the humble mule and the braying burro. The State Fair Horse Show, one of America's classics, will be presented eight evenings during the fair. September 3rd to 10th, and will see $22,240 passed out in prizes to the Nation's best show horses ranging from giant Percherons and Clydesdales to tiny Shetlands. Thirty-nine events on the race track, call for $34,000 in purses—the greatest speed program in the 78 years of State Fair history. In addition to California's best trotters and pacers, recent champions of the Eastern Grand Circuit will provide thrills for grandstand crowds. In the livestock show, too, horses will be prominently in the picture. Premiums totaling $7,575 will be awarded for draft and breeding equines. "The State Fair this year will haxe by far the greatest aggregation of horses ever assembled in California," said Director Fred H. Bixby, Long Beach, in charge of the livestock department. "We expect an entry list of more than 2,000 valued at approximately $3,000,000." WATCH FALLING WHEEL Wheels demountable at the hub, which many motorists are encountering on the newer cars, require care during removal. As the last cap screw comes out, the wheel comes off and the unwary motorist may get a scraped shin in the bargain. A hand placed at the top of the wheel will permit it to drop down while supported against the hub. It cannot fall outward in such a case. Our investigations have disclosed it would be financially impossible for the state to undertake the commercial canning of the surplus of cling peaches." Moulton said. "Such an undertaking would involve several million dollars, and there is no certainty that the finished product could be marketed, even through relief agencies, to return even the cost of processing. "We feel, however, that home-canning is the logical method of procedure. Every family in this and other states is seeking to curtail expenditures at the present time. If housewives will support us in this plan of home-canning it not only give the growers some return for a delicious fruit that otherwise would go to waste, but it will prove to be one of the most economical fruits which families everywhere can have available throughout the winter months." Moulton announced that paper box manufacturers are prepared to put out a peach lug suitable for trucking transportation which will cut down the production costs by $1.00 per ton. As food administrator, Moulton will have thousands of recipes printed for the home canning of cling peaches and will arrange for rthese recipes to be distributed to every home that joins in the campaign. Cooperation of other agencies in the utilization of their newspaper and radio advertising allotments to further the home-canning campaign is being pledged. "We want every family which can possibly do so to can several dozen jars of these fine California cling peaches." Moulton said. "Here in California we have the peach bowl of the world. It is an important fruit industry, and right now its future is at stake. We believe it is a patriotic duty of Californians to protect this industry, and we are confident that when housewives generally learn of the critical situation which faces this industry they will be glad to lend their assistance. Not only will it be a test of true citizenship, but it likewise will provide their families with a delicious home-canned product that cannot be excelled anywhere." Banker's Speech Points The Way A. P. Giannini, chairman of the board, speaking on the last of the Bank of America's "Back to Good Times" radio broadcasts, Saturday evening, pointed out what he believed to be some of the causes of the depression, definitely named easily discernible factors, indicating that the country, especially California, has never in the past been so well equipped to resume the forward march which has now begun. The success of the bank's "Back to Good Times" campaign, according to Giannini is due to the whole-hearted cooperation of stockholders, directors, advisory board members and employees of the bank and their immediate families, numbering more than one million persons. He also gave full credit to the fine support accorded by chambers of commerce, civic bodies and state leaders of various organizations. "A most gratifying and effective feature of the campaign," said Giannini, "has been the spontaneous and strong approval and support received from newspapers throughout California." Stating that he believed all fair-minded men must agree that the people have a right to expect the government agencies to function impartially, according to the laws which regulate them, and not autocratically attempt to impose policies beyond the scope of their proper functions and apparently designed to serve a certain group. Giannini said that there also should be a greater decentralization in financial matters which would bring to bear on world-wide financial affairs the opinions of a less restricted group. "The forces intrenched by precedent and privilege are not particularly pleased with any development, such as branch banking, that will tend to decentralize the control of credit and constitute a possible curb on their well-laid plans to dominate the world of County Is Ninth Car Registration State. However, Records Slight Drop For First Six Months Proud possessor of ninth place in the list of registered automobiles of the vagious California counties. Orange county stands on the state's books with a total number of 42,487 cars registered within its boundaries. During the six months ending June 1, the state has shown a loss in motor vehicle registrations for the unfortunately first time since it began to register automobiles over 25 years ago. The loss, however, is not a heavy one, being less than a 34,000 drop, over the first six months of last year. Fee-paid registrations for all types of vehicles during the six-months period totaled 1,962,360 according to a report filed with Theodore J. Roche, director of the Department of Motor Vehicles, by Russell Bevans, registrar of the department. The registrations were divided as follows: Automobiles, 1,805,819; solid trucks, 7,360; pneumatic trucks, 90,685; motorcycles, 7,7327; solid trailers, 6,528; pneumatic trailers, 44,641. Bevans said the loss in registrations would be reflected heavily in revenues, thereby adding to the financial burden facing the state because of falling revenues. The heaviest loss was recorded in pleasure cars. There was a slight gain in trucks and trailers with pneumatic tires but losses in trucks and trailers equipped with solid tires. Motorcycles which have been dropping steadily for several years almost held their own. The total given does not include registrations for which no fee was paid such as the cars owned by the state, cities and counties and other political sub-divisions and the public service corporations. Of these there were 32,473 automobiles, 1,045 motorcycles and 4,080 trailers. There were 40,830 non-resident cars registered also. Bevans' report revealed that Los Angeles County Registrar impose policies beyond the scope of their proper functions and apparently designed to serve a certain group. Giannini said that there also should be a greater decentralization in financial matters which would bring to bear on world-wide financial affairs the opinions of a less restricted group. "The forces intrenched by precedent and privilege are not particularly pleased with any development, such as branch banking, that will tend to decentralize the control of credit and constitute a possible curb on their well-laid plans to dominate the world of finance," said Giannini. "In the interest of the people this concentrated control must be broadened and all qualified banks treated fairly and impartially throughout the United States." Emphasizing his belief that deflation today has been absurdly overdone, and that some of the nation's banks have sought a degree of liquidity which, in the light of revised banking laws and new-formed government agencies, is no longer necessary, Giannini said that in so doing they had contributed through their ruthlessness with borrowers, to the deplorable credit conditions that have prevailed. The result of these activities has been to depress values and impose hardship. "The majority of California's banks on the other hand," said Giannini. "have taken a more constructive attitude. They have not shirked their responsibility, nor refused to be helpful in worthy cases — have not undertaken to cut down credit and pipe up cash. I can say for our institution that it has been our policy to make loans for legitimate business purposes, in connection with which there is a sound definite plan of liquidation. Our managers are instructed to be on the alert to build up their communities and to grant such accommodations as are warranted and necessary to that end."
