An advertising campaign designed to increase vacation travel in California and at the same time encourage Californians to become better acquainted with the world-famed attractions within the state was inaugurated recently under the auspices of the California Newspaper Publishers association. Two series of advertisements — one presenting the attractions of Northern California as a vacation area for Southern Californians and the other presenting attractions of Southern California as a vacation lure for Northern Californians — will be published during the next six weeks in leading California newspapers. It was announced by Dan L. Beebe, president of the California Newspaper Publishers association. The All-Year club, Southern California's national tourist advertising organization, has prepared the Southern California series which will be published in newspapers located north of the southern boundaries of Monterey, Tulare and Kings counties, while Californians Incorporated of San Francisco have furnished the material for the Northern California series which will be published in newspapers south of the southern boundaries of the same counties. At a recent meeting of the executive committee of the California Newspaper Publishers association, Colonel Samuel G. McClure, publisher of the Santa Monica Outlook and a director of the All-Year club, presented the idea which was passed unanimously and the cooperation of the All-Year club and Californians incorporated was assured at the same meeting. "The majority of the tourist business of prominent resort areas like Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and the Adirondacks draw the bulk of their vacation business from an area only fractionally as large as California while this state has always drawn the greater volume of its tourist business from the Middle-west and East," States Addison B. Day, president of the All-Year club. "Surveys show that approximately 720,167 California families indulge in pleasure travel and that less than 30 per cent of the State's residents have seen the attractions of either Northern or Southern California." Proposition No. 1 Increases Taxes (Continued from page 1) housetops. No wonder, because they are getting real tax relief, while the Berly Kennedy, telephone 2072, average man is getting real tax increases. To show how rapidly sales taxes mount, consider your gasoline tax which is a sales tax in every sense of the word. The average automobile in California uses 600 gallons of gasoline a year. At three cents a gallon, the state gets $18, and at one-cent a gallon, the federal government gets $6, a year per automobile. On a two-cent basis, and spending $1500 a year, you would pay $30 sales tax; on a three-cent basis, you would pay $45. The point to remember about the Riley-Stewart plan is that it does not expect increases in Orange Shipping Gradual increase of valencia shipments from this district is expected in near future, as Florida oranges are being cleaned up in the market, and competition becomes less, according to prominent fruit growers here. Last week four local nouses shipped 70 cars of valencias as their pro rata share under the agreement now in effect. First cars of the season were sent under the agreement now in effect, mostly to the Orient and Europe, although domestic shipments were underway on a larger scale during the past 10 days.

On a two-cent basis, and spending $1500 a year, you would pay $30 sales tax; on a three-cent basis, you would pay $45. The point to remember about the Riley-Stewart plan is that it does not propose to reduce state expenditures. Naturally, if the state must spend as much or more money then ever, it must raise the money. Despite some rather drastic cuts in state expenses during the past two years, the state is $10,000,000 in the "red" for the 1931-33 biennium. Attempts were made to reduce costs of the state to within state income under the present system of taxation, but the legislature, dominated by lobbies, refused to let the people vote on reducing fixed expenditures of the state, preferring instead to offer the lobby-inspired Riley-Stewart plan as a means of shifting the tax burden and raising more money than ever for state government. The plan has many other evils. Instead of demanding a decrease of city county and state expenses, which would be a decrease of taxes it proposes to set up in a limit of increase. In other words, it invites all our governments to be as extravagant as the law allows. Then, instead of allowing the counties to boss their own expenditures and taxes, the Riley-Stewart plan permits the legislature to regulate what the county shall levy on real and personal property, offsetting this with the power of the state to levy a sales tax for refund to the counties. That simply builds the political units larger so that the poor taxpayers' yelping cannot be so easily heard and his effective organized protest against burdensome taxes harder to accomplish. Although the state would be forced to assume all the mandatory school charges of the counties, the measure would not prohibit counties from levying taxes on real and personal property for school purposes. Here is a catch that would permit doubling our school expenditures, and actually encourages greater increases in school pests. Agreement Ends Big Water Suit (Continued from page 1) for Corona Del Mar district, which is without the basin. Irvine company—May take a maximum of 4,500 acre feet annually for lands of Irvine company on slope toward the ocean between Corona Del Mar and Laguna Beach. Laguna Beach County Water district, which supplies Laguna Beach city and small territory outside—may take maximum of 2025 acre feet annually. Fairview Farms Mutual Water company, supplying 1142 acres in the Costa Mesa district, all but 31 acres being within the basin, and Newport Mesa Irrigation district, supplying 694 acres of land in the same area, all within the basin, were decreed to have established rights to water in the basin by usage, and may continue to take water. The Fairview Farms company is limited to 60 acre feet annually for the 31 acres outside of the basin. History of Case The litigation was started June 19, 1931, with E. E. Campbell, L. A. Bushard, J. H. Pope, R. A. Chaffee and wife, W. C. Mauerhan and wife, J. J. Dwyer, R. J. McFadden and wife, H. D. Meyer, the Anaheim Union Water company, the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company, the city of Fullerton and the city of Anaheim as plaintiffs. Determination of basin boundaries, water rights therein and cessation transporting water outside of the basin was sought. The Irvine company filed a cross-complaint, counter-attacking the rights of the plaintiffs to water, including portions of Anaheim and Fullerton, alleged to be without the basin. This cross-complaint subsequently was dismissed by stipulation. The Boundaries The basin boundaries as fixed in the judgment just filed are, roughly, as follows: Southerly boundary the average line of high tide. Westerly boundary follows approximately the western boundary of the county to a point. Mobilize State Farm Industries The mobilization of California's great agricultural industry under the terms of the new relief legislation of congress is now under way with every evidence that at least one of the state's major crops may be among the fields in the nation to take advantage of the new machinery of business. This was the assertion of Alex Johnson, secretary manager of California Farm Bureau federation, who is acting as spokesman for a number of agricultural groups. Johnson spoke particularly of the tentative organization plan for the cling peach growing and canning industries which is to be submitted to the secretary of agriculture this week. If getting government approval and final ratification is had from the growers and growers, the peach men will not only be among the first to reap the benefits of the legislation but the plan should bring a greatly needed rehabilitation of this major industry. Johnson, who initiated the conferences on the peach situation together with A. D. Poggetto, manager of the California Canning Peach Growers' association, represented the growers during the series of conferences just concluded with Dr. H. R. Tolley of the Giannini foundation and H. R. Wellman of the college of agriculture of the University participating in the discussion. "This is a significant forward step for the peach industry and should evidence to the country at large the range of economic reconstruction possible under the farm relief set-up provided by Congress," said Johnson. "The plan, however, even in its present shape marks definite outstanding accomplishments. It provides for the purchase of all No. 1 peaches, canned and uncanned at a price to be agreed on and sets up a method for handling surplus. It sets up trade practice for the protection of both parties to the agreement. For the first time in history it provides for an agreed selling price of the canned peaches to the..." The Irvine company filed a cross-complaint, counter-attacking the rights of the plaintiffs to water, including portions of Anaheim and Fullerton, alleged to be without the basin. This cross-complaint subsequently was dismissed by stipulation. The Boundaries The basin boundaries as fixed in the judgment just filed are, roughly, as follows: Southerly boundary the average line of high tide. Westerly boundary follows approximately the western boundary of the county to a point shortly south of Buena Park. Thence it runs easterly and north-easterly to a line is followed easterly to Yorba and across the Santa Ana river. Turning south, it follows approximately Santa Ana canyon road to Olive, around the point at Olive and approximately along the S. A. V. I. company canal, including portions of the Villa Park and El Modena districts. Continuing south it passes east of Tustin and takes in the flat Irvine lands that are in orchard, with a portion of the bean land also Swinging westerly the line touches Newport boulevard near the Santa Ana Country club and follows approximately that highway through Costa Mesa, taking in the western half of Costa Mesa, and running to Newport Beach. The area where a surplus is said to exist is limited to a territory extending about three miles from the coast, between Fairview mesa and Huntington Beach mesa.
