20 Initiative and Referendum Measures Before Voters In the November Ballot Brief Description of Each Proposition Given for Convenience of Readers; Many of Issues are Local In Nature, Others of Vital Importance to Entire State; Watch for Joker Voters this November will decide upon the merit of 20 initiative and referendum measures. Some of these measures are straight-forward in their intent, others sound well but have their main purposes concealed. In effect, that is true of proposition No. 9, where the ostensible purpose is to shift school taxes from the county to the state for the purpose of relieving taxes on real property. However, proponents of this measure now admit that the proposed sales and income taxes will not raise the amount of money needed, which means an ad valorem tax on real estate. As previously pointed out in the Gazette, this would cost Orange county nearly half a million dollars more in taxes than it is paying now. The measure increases the guaranteed amounts for teachers' salaries in both the elementary and high school divisions and raises the amounts guaranteed by the state constitution for each pupil, making a total immediate increase in expenditures of $10,000,000. But the worst feature is that it leaves loopholes through which an ever-increasing expenditure would be guaranteed, thus effectively relieving the schools from any enforced economy measures recently inaugurated at the urgent request of over-burdened taxpayers. The 20 propositions, with a short description, follow: 1. Repeal of the Wright act, the state's prohibition enforcement measure, imposing on the state's officers and courts the duty of penalizing violators of the 18th Amendment. 2. State liquor regulation to provide in the event of modification of liquor laws for state control of liquor sales, including the prohibition of saloons, but provision that liquor may be sold retail in packages from stores under rules provided by the state legislature. 3. The so-called "trust deed reform act" which will establish foreclosure requirements on a trust deed similar to those now required for mortgages. 4. Elimination of restriction requiring 2.—State liquor regulation to provide in the event of modification of liquor laws for state control of liquor sales, including the prohibition of saloons, but provision that liquor may be sold retail in packages from stores under rules provided by the state legislature. 3.—The so-called "trust deed reform act" which will establish foreclosure requirements on a trust deed similar to those now required for mortgages. 4.—Elimination of restriction requiring that the state's half of tax revenue from highway transportation companies be used exclusively in highway maintenance and repair. 5.—Racing measure designed to legalize a pari-mutual system of betting and permitting a share to the management of 10 percent. 6.—Exempts ex-service man's property from taxation to the amount of $1,000, provided property of $5,000 or more is not owned. 7.—Permits increases in daily expense of the legislature from $300 daily for each house to $400 for the senate and $450 for the assembly for regular sessions and similar increases for special sessions. 8.—Clarification of initiative and referendum provisions of constitution to have titles drafted by attorney-general. 9.—Provides for the transfer of the burden of appropriations to schools from county governments to the state government, to be financed by sales or income tax to be fixed by the legislature. 10.—Authorizing the city of Escondido to hold stock in a mutual water company. 11.—Granting tidelands to the city of Huntington Beach and providing the right of the city to lease them for a number of purposes, including oil drilling. 12.—Provides for certain adjustments in water main assessments to be made by the city of Glendale after an election in that city. 13.—Permits the state legislature to amend the state athletic commission (boxing and wrestling) act with certain limitations. 14.—Exemplifying vessels of more than 50 tons registered at any port in the state from taxation until January 1, 1955, except for state purposes. 15.—Permits the deposit by municipalities or other public corporations of moneys in banks outside of the state for the purpose of meeting interest and sinking fund charges on bonds payable outside of the state. 16.—Provides that tax liens shall be outlawed in 30 years unless the property is lawfully sold by the state to clear taxes during that period. 17.—Includes several new provisions in the procedure for adoption of free medical staff made up of members of the Orange County Medical association. Each of these 35 physicians serves four months per year. They give their services free. There are specialists in this group, and the best medical attention is available to patients of the hospital, which has a resident physician and eight internes from Class A. Medical colleges. This outstanding service has been given to Orange county at a cost lower than in other similar institutions in the state. In 1931 the net cost per day per patient to the county was two dollars. Included in that was a new service building and equipment amounting to $28,000, a water tower costing $6400, and maintenance of the 30-acre orange grove on the county farm. This grove, in normal years, has helped materially in paying for the upkeep of the institution. Schumacher Aid Praised In regard to the hospital Schumacher has kept in mind a double objective: the best service possible to the people at the lowest possible cost to the taxpayers. He realizes that the hospital is for the poor, and they get Class A service. At the same time he is mindful of the fact that taxpayers finance the institution. Every tax dollar does all the work of which it is capable. These who are in close touch with the hospital's development and service have declared that the sympathetic interest and business-like counsel given by Schumacher have been of inestimable importance in enabling the staff to build an institution which occupies an outstanding position. While he was co-operating to give the hospital a start during these early years, Schumacher continued the work of developing third district roads, the deplorable condition of which he had done much to remedy during his first term. From 1916 to 1920, 18 miles of paved highway were completed in the third district. Re-surfacing of eight miles of other paved highways was assured. Road work during the year 1918-1919 serves as an example of Schumacher's accomplishments for his district. The Brea-Olinda road, La Mirada avenue, and Main street in La Habra were paved with concrete to an 18 foot width. One-half mile of 18-foot concrete pavement was laid at Cypress, and a like distance was paved on West Broadway, leading out of Anaheim. Work Consistent For the Brea-Olinda road, which cost $19,525, Schumacher secured county aid in the amount of $8,340. At another time he obtained $8,575 for Yorba road paving. He secured $17,000 in county aid for the paving of two and one-quarter miles of Orangethorpe avenue, for which an improvement project was under way in 1919.

Forest Rangers Hold 7th Annual School The seventh session of the California ranger school conducted by the U.S. forest service at the Feather River station training camp on the Plumas National forest opened October 3 with 26 student rangers from 12 national forests, two national parks, and the county of Los Angeles in attendance. Six weeks' intensive training in all branches of ranger work will be given by instructors from the regional office of the forest service in San Francisco an dthe California forest experiment station, Berkeley. The students are members of the permanent ranger forces of the organizations represented. The state division of forestry was unable to spare state rangers, who are to supervise the unemployment labor camps which open this month. Work Consistent For the Brea-Olinda road, which cost $19,525, Schumacher secured county aid in the amount of $8,340. At another time he obtained $8,575 for Yorba road paving. He secured $17,000 in county aid for the paving of two and one-quarter miles of Orangethorpe avenue, for which an improvement project was under way in 1919. For one year ending in July, 1920, Schumacher brought about the purchase in the third district of county supplies costing $33,044. Among other items of construction during his second term were the building of permanent bridges over the Santa Ana river, replacing old wooden structures, and the construction of a new boulevard from Olive Heights to Corona, about which the Anaheim Plain Dealer declared: "In point of increased local business which it will bring, it may be a question whether any other piece of new highway of equal length has come to Anaheim with promise of as great service." Wins Praise It was during this term that Schumacher joined with other members of the board in passing a county ordinance which increased the stringency of the state law on truck load weights, thus giving county roads added protection from disintegration which might result from overloaded commercial vehicles. Schumacher's road building accomplishments during this period were briefly but graphically summarized in August, 1920, in a statement appearing in the Anaheim Herald, which said: "More road money has been expended upon the thoroughfares in the third district during this year than in the three southern districts of the county combined." There is a shop in New York which maintains what is known as a perfume bar where scents are mixed to meet individual desire. Bottles of perfume are sold with the name of the owner on the label and a number. The contents are kept secret. Radioed Wonders From New Ocean Depths Dr. Wm. Bebee, noted American deep-sea explorer, went to new depths, 2,200 feet, almost a half mile down, in a new bathysphere off Bermuda island, from where he broadcast by radio to millions of Americans about the wonders of the phosphorescent creatures habitating at that depth.
