Substantial Gain In Registrations Motor Vehicle License Fees Show $124,256 Increase in Last Four months Seen as another sure indication of returning prosperity, motor vehicle registrations are advancing sharply in California. In a report filed with Governor James Rolph Jr., by Theo J. Roche, director of the department of motor vehicles, it is said the increase had been mounting steadily for the last four months, coincident with President Roosevelt's national recovery program. The total gain for the months of April, May, June and July was reported by Roche as being 23,486 over the corresponding period of 1932. Total fee-paid registrations for the period amounted to 122,732. License fees collected during the period amounted to $617,084, a gain of $124,256 over last year. Rallying sharply after the worst quarterly slump in the department's history, registrations gained approximately 4,000 in April. Gains for the succeeding months were proportionate to the general upturn in business conditions. The July gain was more than 8,000 vehicles. Roche expressed confidence that a substantial gain over the entire year of 1932 would be made by the end of the current year despite first-quarter losses. "We regard the figures as a sure indication that business is on the upturn," he added. ANAHEIM GAZETTE C.C.C. Boys Doing Large Amount Work Who says the C.C.C. boys aren't producing results in forestry work! The first cumulative report from the 128 national forest camps in California shows the following summary of accomplishments: 381 miles of forest roads constructed and improved; 379 miles of telephone lines built; 105 buildings erected; 463 miles of truck trails constructed or maintained; 82 miles of fire breaks and 77 miles of fire lines built; 99 miles of roadside cleared of inflammable material and 464,000 snags felled; 2,599 acres of public camp grounds cleared and water and camping facilities developed; poisoning of rodents on 403,935 acres; 350 check dams constructed to prevent erosion and numerous other forestry projects. In addition, the C.C.C. is furnishing the forest service with an efficient organized fire fighting force, which has reduced the cost of fire fighting in the national forests of California some 80 per cent to date. Westminster Bond Issue Ordered Sold County supervisors Tuesday ordered the Westminster school district's $10,000 bond issue sold to the highest bidder on September 26. One prospective buyer looms on the horizon for this issue, the supervisors were told, although recent bond issues have gone begging for buyers. Pluck Taxpayers By New Tax Plan (Continued from page 1) expenditure, the home-owner pays out $25 in sales tax. Thus, if we deduct his $12.50 saving on his real property tax, he still is in the "red" $12.50. If he spent $1500, he would be stuck for an even $25. Homer Chaillaux Honors Anaheim Legion Chieftain Pays Signal Honor to County Legionnaires with Important Appointments Orange county American Legion was signally honored by the new state commander, Homer Chaillaux of Inglewood when the latter announced the appointment of J. Fred Sidebottom of Anaheim post as chairman of the important membership committee of the department of California. HOMER CHAILLAUX Sidebottom is a past commander of the Orange county council of the Legion and has served Anaheim post twice as commander. Sidebottom is county sealer of weights and measures. Other Orange county Legionnaires honored by positions on state committees are: Dr. F. E. Earel of Santa Ana, veterans welfare and relief; George Wolverines Will Picnic Sept. Wolverines in Southern California invited to attend the annual basketball-reunion to be held at Sycamore Grove, Saturday, September 16. Dr. E. Haring, president of the Michigan association of Southern California, vites all former residents of and visits from Michigan to the picnic, which been an annual affair for more than 30 years. County registers will attend old neighbors and friends. Collman Funeral Held On Tuesday Funeral services for W. A. Collman Brookhurst road rancher who committed suicide by firing a shot through right temple Friday evening, were Tuesday morning from the Berry Terry & Campbell parlors, with Virgil K. Ledbetter of the Calvaryist church officiating. Burial was Long Beach. Mr. Collman, 61, was led by descent to take his life, friends and relatives believe. No inquest was held was a native of Freeport, Ill., and resided on his ranch here since 1911. He is survived by his widow, Elli Collman; a son, Albertus, a daughter Wilma, all living at home; a sister, K. F. Snyder and a brother, George Collman, of Illinois. Pluck Taxpayers By New Tax Plan (Continued from page 1) expenditure, the home-owner pays out $25 in sales tax. Thus, if we deduct his $12.50 saving on his real property tax, he still is in the "red" $12.50. If he spent $1500, he would be stuck for an even $25. One of the largest landowners in the city limits of Anaheim has assessed valuations of $350,000. His saving under the Riley-Stewart plan is $2,350. He probably spends $5,000 a year on taxable commodities. His sales tax would be $125, his net saving $2,225. Or, to step into the unincorporated district, let's consider the average home-owner with a place assessed at $1,000. He saves just $7 through the Riley-Stewart bill, and he spends the same $1,000 that his city brother does, so his sales tax is $25. His proportionate cost of the Standard Oil company's saving is $18 per year. The absentee landowner is the real beneficiary. He is let off on real estate tax, and pays no sales tax whatever. The next beneficiary is the large property-owner, as cited in the cases of the Standard Oil, James Irvine and Santa Marguerita ranch. The dividing line between the person who loses and the person who gains by the Riley-Stewart plan is property assessed at $3,628.58. Property assessed at less leaves the owner the loser, property assessed at more gives the owner an advantage. Persons who heretofore have not paid a direct tax to the state now are doing it for school purposes, but those same people are not paying a penny toward other functions of city, county and even state government. To make one class of persons pay part of their proportionate costs of government, the people voted to pluck more feathers from the goose that lays the golden egg—the average home-owner. Mandatory school taxes shifted to the state will eat up all the sales tax money. This still leaves the state budget in the same deplorable, almost bankrupt condition. The estimated deficit for the next biennium is about $50,000,000. And the threat of an ad valorem tax—the threat which drove many persons to vote for the Riley-Stewart plan—still hangs over the head of property owners, the same persons who were promised substantial relief under the so-called "tax relief plan." The Telephone call you may never make SMOKE, fire ... sudden illness ... accident ... a prowler when you're alone ... these emergencies, we hope, will never come to you. But a telephone, reaching help quickly, does give peace of mind that means a great deal. You can give your order to any telephone employee. A telephone in your home is only a few cents a day. Southern California Telephone Company Business Office: 217 N. Lemon Telephone 2101 Donald Winans Is Tax Investigator Donald L. Winans of the Anaheim firm of Winans and Henry, accountants, is one of 21 tax investigators assigned as "shock troops" of the sales tax division.
