At the special meeting, A. Bittner, absent, and Mr. Kern, president of the North Anaheim Canal company, says to our board in a boisterous manner: "I come to tell you that I want the water tomorrow, because the Anaheim Water company had the water wrongfully all this time and pocketed the money therefore. We will take the water now, and you shan't have it again." Communication of H. Kroeger received, who says that our Messrs. V. E. Howard & Sons recommend the appointment of water commissioners.

Building Outlook Looking Brighter 455 Registered Contractors In Orange County in 1933; 494 In 1932 Despite the low ebb of construction operations during 1932-33, it required 22,365 registered contractors to fulfill the building requirements of California business men and home buyers, or an average of one contractor for each 253 Californians. And, while building operations suffered a sharp setback during the fiscal year ended June 30 last, the number of contractors engaged in construction operations dropped only 2,685 or approximately 10 per cent, as compared with the 2,050 contractors licensed in the previous fiscal year. So declared Colonel Carlos W. Huntington, state registrar of contractors in a report filed with Governor James Rolph, Jr., showing that licenses were issued to contractors at the rate of one every 23 minutes, or on an average of 2.5 every hour throughout the entire fiscal year. In Orange county there were 445 registered contractors on June 30, as compared with 494 contractors in the previous year. An increase in the number of contractors was reported in Calaveras, El Dorado, Inyo, Nevada and San Mateo. In contrast, Huntington said building operations in recent months have advanced at a rapid stride, and forecast a sharp increase in the number of persons who would engage in construction operations during the current fiscal year. This forecast was predicated upon economic conditions. "The general outlook for the building and construction industry, the second largest industry in California, is exceedingly bright," Colonel Huntington reported, "and the trend of this industry is a good barometer to economic conditions throughout the state." "In addition to the two giant San Francisco bay bridges and other public buildings, we have seen a significant increase in the number of contractors working in Orange County." The Farmer’s Corner By Ralph H. Taylor Secretary Agricultural Legislative Committee Two rulings of major importance to California farmers, interpreting their status under the new 3 per cent gross receipts tax on trucks operated for hire, have just been handed down by Attorney General Webb in opinions to the state board of equalization, administrator of the truck tax. The first decision, which will affect thousands of fruit growers, applies to contracts between canneries and growers for an f.o.b. price for fruit at the ranch. Under such contracts many growers are engaged to haul their fruit from the ranch to the cannery and receive a stipulated fee per ton for the hauling. The question raised was whether the farmer, in such instances, would be hauling for hire, and therefore subject to the 3 per cent tax, or whether he would be merely trucking his fruit to market and tax-exempt. Clearing this point, the attorney general ruled: "We are of the opinion that where the seller of the fruit hauls it from the ranch to the point of delivery with his own trucks or equipment, such delivery is not hauling for hire, but a delivery incidental to the production and sale of the fruit, and the farmer or seller would not have to obtain a license." In reaching his decision, Webb declared that while the contract for fruit-on-the-tree is supposed to constitute an absolute sale, it is further set forth in the contract that the seller agrees to assume all risk or loss, depreciation or damage to undelivered fruit. He also cites another provision in the contract stating that "delivery shall in no event operate as an acceptance of the fruit, the buyer reserving the right to accept or reject the fruit at point of delivery," as indicative of the fact that the grower still owns the fruit and is therefore exempt from the hauling tax. Revise Plans On Loan Procedure Applications for Federal Public Works Program on Circular No. 2 Arranged Following a series of conferences between Justus Wardell, district administrator of public works, members of the state advisory board, and representatives of the industrial committee of the California State Chamber of Commerce, important changes have been made in plans for handling applications of local communities for loans and grants from the $3,300,000 federal public works fund. Under the revised plan of procedure, no application blanks will be issued to communities, but applications and accompanying reports are to be made following the outline given in circular number two, issued by the federal public works board at Washington. This circular explains the types of projects to be given preference, and the method of filing applications. These applications are to be filed with the state advisory board, instead of the regional administrator, as originally planned. Applications from Southern California communities should be filed in the office of the state advisory board, federal emergency administration of public works, in the state building. The state chamber of commerce has been asked to assist in getting the projects submitted to the state advisory board as soon as possible. The preliminary list of projects gathered has been made available, and advance copies of federal public works circulars one and two have been mimeographed and mailed to all organizations on that list. Issues Warning On Tax Returns Collector Says Corporations and Declares War On Pink Slip Forgers Motor Vehicle Registrar Announces Plan for New Paper Stock to Protect Owners Hard sledding is ahead for forgers and other "artists" of pen and ink fraternity who fabricate bogus motor vehicle certificates of ownership, according to disclosures by Russell Bevans, registrar of the department of motor vehicles, to the Peace Officers association of California, meeting in convention at Al Tahoe. Bevans told the peace officers the department will adopt an entirely new type of paper stock for use in issuing "pink" certificates that will make it practically impossible for forgers to duplicate them. The paper to be employed will be water-marked on both sides, Bevans said, with the legend, "Department of Motor Vehicles." The great seal of the State of California will be in the center of each certificate. Attempts at forging the great seal are deemed felonies under the present law. Bevans told the peace officers the department has under consideration a plan for calling in some 2,000,000 outstanding certificates of ownership and substituting them with the new type. He said the cost of the new certificates would amount to only a few hundred dollars more than the cost of the present type. In reaching his decision, Webb declared that while the contract for fruit-on-the-tree is supposed to constitute an absolute sale, it is further set forth in the contract that the seller agrees to assume all risk or loss, depreciation or damage to undelivered fruit. He also cites another provision in the contract stating that "delivery shall in no event operate as an acceptance of the fruit, the buyer reserving the right to accept or reject the fruit at point of delivery," as indicative of the fact that the grower still owns the fruit and is therefore exempt from the hauling tax. In his second opinion, however, the attorney general rules that farm cooperatives hauling produce for their members are, in fact, "hauling for hire," and subject to the trucking tax. This point was brought to issue by an alfalfa growers' cooperative, which contended that it hauled only hay grown by members and did not haul for hire or compensation. "The fact that it hauls only for a certain class of persons," ru'17 attorney General Webb, "does not take it out of the application of the statute. And the statement that it does not haul for hire or compensation does not correctly represent the situation. There must be some hire or compensation paid for the service rendered, and it is upon the gross receipts for this service that the state exacts a charge." Disposing of another contention, Webb declares "The argument that there are no profits accruing from the operation of the organization is not pertinent, for the tax is not upon the profits, but is measured by the gross receipts for the service." From analysis of the attorney general's decision in this case it would appear that farm cooperatives must either pay the tax, or take title to the fruit or other farm product at the farm before hauling it on the public highway. The new trucking tax, while it may require some adjustments in farm hauling, was not designed to hit the farmer, but to eliminate unfair competition by "wildcat" operators who had managed to evade their fair share of the tax load under the old law. Every effort will be made, according to the state board of equalization, to protect the farmer hauling his own produce from being penalized by the tax. The tax is expected to yield from $800,000 to $1,000,000 per year. Issues Warning On Tax Returns Collector Says Corporations and Associations Must File by September 29 Collector of Internal Revenue John P. Carter announces that the time for filing capital stock tax returns by corporations and similar associations has been extended to September 29. Collector Carter further said that all corporations and associations similar in character in legal existence must file capital stock tax returns in duplicate and pay a tax of $1.00 per even thousand dollars on the adjusted declared value of their stock as of June 30, 1933. The tax must be paid when the return is filed on or before September 29. Corporations even though they claim exemption from tax payment must file application for such exemption therewith. Collector Carter also states that retailers liable to floor tax returns for the processing tax on wheat must file returns in duplicate and pay tax on or before September 6, 1933. Wholesalers liable for cotton processing tax must file returns and pay tax on or before August 31 and retailers liable for cotton processing tax must file returns and pay tax on or before September 30, 1933. All these returns must be filed in duplicate properly signed and sworn to. Failure to do this may incur penalties for delinquency.

BRUCE BARTON writes of "THE MASTER EXECUTIVE" Supplying a week-to-week inspiration for the heavy-burdened who will find every human trial paralleled in the experiences of "The Man Nobody Knows." SIX GREAT MEN Here is another business principle, seemingly equally impracticable. Remember the words of the Lord Jesus how he said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." We came perilously near to losing those words. They are not recorded in any one of the four Gospels. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all forgot them. But Paul did not. He who had abandoned a social position and an assured career for the service of the Galilean he who had given more than any of them, he heard the words and remembered. He understood. Are they empty words? Do they bring destruction upon a business which regards them seriously? Is a man a fool to let them be a guiding influence in his life? I talked one day with H. G. Wells after his Outline of History had appeared, I said: "You have stood upon a mountain and viewed the whole panorama of human progress. You have seen the captains and the kings, the princes and the prophets, the scientists and the adventurers, the millionaires and the dreamers—that have lived and loved and struggled their little hour upon the earth. In the vast army what heads rise above the common level? Among all those what half dozen men among them all deserve to be called great?" He turned the question over in his mind for a day or two, and then gave me a list of six names, with his reasons for each. An extraordinary list! Jesus of Nazareth, Burrha, Asoka, Aristotle, Roger Bacon, Abraham Lincoln. Think of the thousands of emperors who have battled for fame, and fashioned their immortality into monuments of brick and stone. Yet there is only one emperor, Asoka, on the list; and he is not there because of his victories but because he voluntarily abandoned war, after his success, and devoted himself to the betterment of his millions of subjects. Think of the hosts who have struggled for wealth, fretting over figures, denying their generous instincts, cheating and grasping and worrying. Yet no millionaire is on the list, excepting again Asoka. The tumult and the shouting dies, The captains and the kings depart. And when the historian, looking over the field where they contended for the prize, seeks for something which has endured, he finds the message of a teacher, the dream of a scientist, the vision of a seer. "These six men stood on the corners of History," said Wells in his picturesque way. "Events hinged on them. The current of human thought was freer and clearer because they had lived and worked. They took little from the world and left it much. They did not get; they gave; and, in the giving, gained eternal influence:" Next Week: Decisions and Rewards Copyright, Bobbs-Merrill Co.

Anaheim, Calif., Aug. 31, 1933 The Family DOCTOR by JOHN JOSEPH GAINES, M.D. BELOW THE WAIST Just a word to the shut-ins, or the wheel-chair folk. Suppose we consider the feminine patient; the ones who began to lose their activity in the knees and other portions of the lower extremities. I have seen and treated these many times. I have found that they have usually been subject to treatment for "rheumatism," although they have not had a single lame joint above the waist! Such patients are usually housewives, that have done their share in bearing children. Busy workers as well. They may be just approaching, or over with the menopause. Indeed this sort of "rheumatism" I am talking about, is noted for appearing about that time. This shows plainly that the CAUSE of the disabling trouble is situated in the GENERATIVE organs. Get it plainly; there is no Joint-trouble above the waist-line. Have your doctor look you over thoroughly. He may find lacerations, sears, internal hemorrhoids, prolapsed uteri, or disease of the bladder. These things should receive attention at once. I have seen ulcer of the neck of the uterus put a patient in an invalid chair, and the treatment given for "arthritis," "rheumatism," and so on—which did no good, because the real trouble was neither. The good woman should submit to thorough examination without any hesitation; it may mean recovery for her. She should submit to rational treatment, even if it demand surgery; at any rate, she should ask for removal of the CAUSE of her trouble. Not every laming complaint is rheumatism or arthritis, when we find its cause. Nothing but removal of the cause will cure. The cause is in the pelvis, in nineteenth of the patients whose lameness is in extremities below the waist. I hope these hints may prove of worth.
