Farmer Benefits As Prices Go Up On His Products Giannini Declares Figures Prove We Are Emerging From Financial Slough Stating that California's marked business revival, especially improvement in farm production and prices, indicates that we are emerging, perhaps laboriously, but definitely out of the slough, Dr. A. H. Giannini, chairman of Bank of America's general executive committee, gives definite facts and figures for this faith. "An authoritative survey discloses the following impressive percentage increases in dollar value for some of California's leading products during the past year, as compared with 1932," said Dr. Giannini: Cotton ... 115 per cent Hops ... 326 per cent Grapes (before repeal) ... 57 per cent Rice ... 70 per cent Beans ... 79 per cent Apples ... 72 per cent Apricots ... 50 per cent Cherries ... 80 per cent Prunes ... 106 per cent Sugar Beets ... 108 per cent Peaches ... 178 per cent Wheat ... 79 per cent Wool ... 103 per cent Olives ... 28 per cent "The number of new and reopened gold mines during the year approximated 600; new equipment for operations amounted to $5,000,000. "The moving picture industry is spending about $125,000,000 in production—this amount exceeds that of any previous year. "In a bank having a branch system." "The number of new and reopened gold mines during the year approximated 600; new equipment for operations amounted to $5,000,000. "The moving picture industry is spending about $125,000,000 in production—this amount exceeds that of any previous year. "In a bank having a branch system, 68,000 new savings accounts were opened in August, September and October—a remarkable change from a heretofore steady drain upon savings for living expenses. "In many parts of the state farmers have, for the first time in several years, made substantial payments on loans that had been regarded as 'slow' or 'frozen.' "New telephones in southern counties during August, September, October and November were 7600 as against a decrease of 7700 for the same period in 1932. "Under such circumstances," said Dr. Giannini, "what is there to be afraid of? Are not those who hang back and who withhold their capital from legitimate investment and expenditure fighting shadow symptoms of renewed depression while they refuse to face the concrete fact of general business improvement?" A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW A law voiding a deficiency judgment would go along way toward pulling the owner of mortgaged real estate out of the haywire. County Is Granted Police Radio Wave Orange county has been granted a permit to operate a police radio station on a frequency of 2430 kilocycles. Information that the federal radio commission had granted the request of this county and its thirteen municipalities was received by the board of supervisors Tuesday. Long Beach at the same time was granted permission to erect a police sending station to operate on the same wave length. At the time application was made by the county board of supervisors six weeks ago, County Purchasing Agent F. W. Slabaugh was instructed to have specifications prepared in order to advertise for bids as soon as possible after the permit was granted. These bids are expected to be called soon with construction starting as quickly as feasible. Sheriff Logan Jackson and police chiefs of the various municipalities feel that installation of the sending station will assist materially in decreasing crime through aiding in apprehending of criminals. On August 5, 1931, the New York Yankees were shut out. They haven't been shut out since.

Among the new features will be a horse show deluxe, and a cooking school. The horse show will be under direction of A. P. Fleming, who has produced the largest horse shows held in Western America. The By-products department, which has been a feature of the orange show for many years, will be eliminated this year, and in its place will be a commercial by-products division featuring a daily cooking school with some of the best known culinary experts engaged in the daily demonstrations. Although the Orange Show is some weeks off, the dates being February 15-25, plans are under way which will make it a larger and better show than ever. Dr. von KleinSmid To Address Forum Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, president of the University of Southern California, will speak on "Democracy" at the Orange County Forum program to be given at the Fullerton high school auditorium on the evening of December 19. Other speakers on the same program include Dr. Chester Rowell, editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, who will talk on "Fascism"; and V. F. Calverton, magazine publisher, who will talk on "Communism." People Vote Upon Three Bond Issues (Continued from page 1) proves the measure, a vote of "no" opposes it. Many exaggerated and untruthful statements have appeared on both sides of the constroversy. Claims that President Roosevelt approves the measure, that the federal government has assured its financing of the project, that it will take 25,000 men off relief rolls and other extravagant claims are so much hokum. On the other hand, claims that the measure actually bonds the state for the construction of a new auditorium, we were forced to the conclusion that to a school of the size and importance of the Anaheim Union High School an auditorium is an absolute necessity in order to give the students all the benefits that they should receive from a high school education. If there is no auditorium, various departments that the high school curriculum demands would have to be dropped. All social activities of the student body are dependent on the auditorium. All assembly calls would have to be discontinued, as there is no other place large enough in which to assemble the students. Points to Menace Without some social center in the school, it would be only a very short time before all school spirit would react very seriously on the students themselves, and also on the enrollment of the school. The surrounding high school districts all have auditoriums, and we believe that our students should have the same facilities. By increasing the size of the auditorium to a seating capacity of 1,600 it would take care of the increased student body for a number of years to come. A new auditorium of this size would also be a civio benefit to the community. The present auditorium has been used in the past for numerous functions outside of the school requirements. Such a building could be placed so as to stand at least a 10 per cent lateral thrust. By structural changes the extreme fire hazard caused by the first story being used as a garage for the school buses, will be corrected. The proposed cost of this project would be $15,125. The administration building was built in 1912 and has served the school continuously twenty-one years. The state engineer's report shows that in order to develop this building into a structure providing reasonable safety against earthquake, fire, and vertical loads extensive reinforcements and alterations will be necessary. The estimated cost would be $43,659. In regard to the building of a new auditorium, we were forced to the conclusion that to a school of the size and importance of the Anaheim Union High School an auditorium is an absolute necessity in order to give the students all the benefits that they should receive from a high school education. If there is no auditorium, various departments that the high school curriculum demands would have to be dropped. All social activities of the student body are dependent on the auditorium. All assembly calls would have to be discontinued, as there is no other place large enough in which to assemble the students. We further believe that the existence of this amount of money will be of wonderful benefit to the district at this time. At least 50 per cent the sum total would go for labor, we could be without question confine this school district. Also, a little amount of the building material can be purchased through the merchant this district. We have considered in repairs are made, the advisability letting the contract for each unit seately, so that the contractors could confined to Orange county. Rigid Demands The state board of architecture set up just as severe demand in re-construction of the buildings as we have in regard to the building of buildings. The inspector on the building would have to pass a state examination and he would be under the jurisdiction of the state board during the time of rebuilding. When complying both architect and inspector are able to the state, that the build have been constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications. Finally, if we do not make repairs at this time, we will have make a considerable outlay in preparing temporary structures in which house our children, which would in opinion be a waste of money because proves the measure, a vote of "no" opposes it. Many exaggerated and untruthful statements have appeared on both sides of the controversy. Claims that President Roosevelt approves the measure, that the federal government has assured its financing of the project, that it will take 25,000 men off relief rolls and other extravagant claims are so much hokum. On the other hand, claims that the measure actually bonds the state for the entire sum, and that taxpayers of California would be called upon to shoulder a project primarily benefiting a small area are only partially true. The measure, as the Gazette views it, constitutes an indirect or moral, lein upon the state of California. The authority set up to administer the project would be composed of state officials, appointed by the governor. If people of the state have sufficient confidence in their governor and his appointees, and the plan could be administered without politics and conservatively, it is conceivable that anticipated revenues would pay off the bonded indebtedness. On the other hand, because of the authority being appointed by the governor, it sets up two main objections: First, this constitutes administration by the state and not by the area directly affected, thus morally obligating the state to guarantee the bonds; and, secondly: It is susceptible to tremendous political maneuvering and political machine-building toward the 1934 and subsequent elections. A third main objection lies in section 16 of the measure itself. Section 16 provides: "Any state agency, or the state, or any department, board, commission, bureau, division or office thereof, may advance or contribute money, rights of way, labor, materials, and any other property for the construction, operation or maintenance of the said Central Valley Project, or any unit thereof." Proponents argue that this provision merely permits the project to advance without a lot of red tape, thus hastening the work and ultimate completion. However, under political direction from a governor interested in building up his political fences, it would be possible for a political lieutenant in the highway department, for instance, to be "advised" by his superior to "contribute" money which the people specifically voted for another purpose. Business of Deal "We took into consideration the strictly business end of the proposition, from the standpoint of the tax-payers and also from the interests of the school (your board of trustees all being taxpayers). We have made application for a federal loan for the sum of $275,000. Originally we applied for funds under the California Green bill to meet the needs for repair and reconstruction. Our application was approved by the state department of education, and the state board of architects. Our application, however, finally was rejected because over-application by other districts had exhausted the fund, and we immediately followed the advice of the federal committee and made application to the RFC. Previous endorsements of our plans still stand. This application was made because it assured an immediate sale of our bonds and a safe creditor. The government will charge 4 or 4½ per cent interest for the use of the remainder of the money, and they will take the bonds at par. The bonds will run a period of twenty-five (25) years without any payment having to be made for the first five (5) years. We also believe that 30 per cent donation could be used to pay the first installment on the bonds or to reduce the total indebtedness up to that amount. Whichever idea might be used, you would not have to make any payments for the first five (5) years. After the five (5) year period has expired, the cost to the taxpayer per $1,000 of assessed valuation per year would be $1.37, decreasing each year as the bonds are paid off. If the bond issue falls our chances of borrowing from the federal government fails with it. "The board is confident that the 30 per cent grant from the federal government will be forthcoming. However, would have to pass a state examination and he would be under the jurisdiction of the state board during the early time of rebuilding. When complete both architect and inspector are able to to state, that the build have been constructed in accord with the plans and specifications. "Finally, if we do not make repairs at this time, we will have make a considerable outlay in preparing temporary structures in which house our children, which would in opinion be a waste of money because it very short time permanent structu would have to be constructed. "To sum up the reasons why we these bonds should be voted: 1. Because the safety, health comfort of the children of our district are paramount in our minds. 2. Because an auditorium is necessary for carrying on school activities, as well as serving the need our community. 3. Because we feel a building gram of this nature, which is absolutely necessary for the well-being of children will directly help the labor man earn a living wage, and indirec help the merchant through the increased earning power of the laborer ending him to buy merchandise and farmer, through increased consumption of farm products. 4. Because we think a proposal as justified and badly needed as is high school plant can be reason sure, if our bonds carry, of receiving outright grant of 30 per cent, we that our district should avail itself this substantial gift by voting the bo" Huntington Beach Gets Peace Para Orange county council, Amer Legion, Friday evening unanimously ceded the invitation of the Hunting Beach post to hold the annual Artice Day parade in the beach city 1934. The council meeting was held Seal Beach, where leaders were that Newport Harbor planned to in the parade in 1935. Claim Harbor Plan Will Pay Own Cost Speakers at the Associated Chambers of Commerce meeting in Newport Harbor yacht clubhouse Tuesday evening cited instances of increased valuations in the harbor district to prove that the proposed $1,840,000 improvement up for approval of the voters next Tuesday will more than pay for itself. Numerous instances of increased valuations of school districts, and of other areas in and around Newport Harbor, were listed to show the effect of spending a little money for improvement of that district. Speakers from Los Angeles and from the Coast Guard base at San Pedro stressed the desirability of increasing Orange county's harbor recreational facilities, especially when the government is willing to spend two dollars for every one dollar voted by the county. Increased assessed valuations resulting from harbor expenditures will assist materially, the speakers claimed, in paying county government costs, thus offsetting the entire cost of the bond issue to the county, and paying "dividends" in the nature of increased taxes, for years to come.
