VACATION DAYS MIDDLEMEN GET MORE THAN HALF OF FARM DOLLAR Farm Bureau President Flays Selfish Motives as Opposing Proposed AAA Changes Several hundred members of the Orange County Farm Bureau this week pondered the discrepancy between prices they receive and the prices paid by the consumer for the same products, as a result of charges hurled by farmer representatives at Washington, D.C. against middlemen and processors at hearings called for the purpose of adopting amendments to the agricultural adjustment act (AAA), which American Farm Bureau Federation officials regard as necessary to bring violators of agreements to speedy trial. A report by President E. A. O'Neal of the federation and chairman of the national agricultural conference, placed proceedings squarely before the Orange County Farm Bureau officers and members. O'Neal charges middlemen and processors with selfish interests in their attacks on proposed amendments, and cites statistics showing the enormous spread between prices received by farmers and prices paid by consumers as plain evidence of the necessity for greater control of the distribution of farm products in order to give farmers REPORT 17 CASES DREAD PARALYSIS IN ORANGE COUNTY Bradford avenue school in Placentia was closed for the balance of the year by action of the board of trustees Monday evening, upon advice of Dr. K. Sutherland, county health officer, who informed the trustees that five of the 17 cases of infantile paralysis were in that school. Ten of the cases are in the La Jolla area, with three in Fullerton and one at Brea. The county health office reported Tuesday that ten cases, all in the La Jolla district where contact had been made with the first case reported, were listed last week. One case is in a serious condition at the county hospital; no fatalities have been reported. Till last week there were but-seven cases in the county. Craig Campaigning On Economy Plank Assemblyman Ted Craig of Brea, whose campaign for the speakership is gaining momentum throughout the state, Wednesday announced to Anaheim friends and supporters that he seeks economy in governmental expenditures through common-sense elimination of the least necessary governmental services. "We must bring governmental costs within state income," Craig said. "The only way to do that is to cut expenses. This matter of taxation and public finance must be adjusted." Sheriff and Three Aides Face $25,000 Suit for Damages Zoe Stephens Claims Detention in Hospital and Jail Without Formal Charges Sheriff Logan Jackson and three of his deputies face suit in superior court asking $25,000 damages for the arrest on July 14, 1933, of Zoe Stephens, who lives between Anaheim and Fullerton. The complainant filed the suit Monday, stating that she was held in the county hospital and county jail till July 18, without being informed of any charges against her, or being taken before a magistrate. Chief Criminal Deputy Sheriff Merle Dean, Deputy Sheriff Fred Humiston and Mrs. Alice Cole, office deputy, are named with Sheriff Jackson in the suit. The plaintiff cites confinement without charges being filed against her, and failure to take her before a magistrate, were in violation of law, malicious and wrongful. The complaint states that the plaintiff was placed in the psychiatric ward of the county hospital, being taken on July 17 to the county jail and released the following day. The plaintiff also says that the Laguna Beach magistrate was competent, and willing to have information concerning the charge brought before him. The complaint states the plaintiff was physically and mentally in a condition to offend the federation and chairman of the national agricultural conference, placed proceedings squarely before the Orange County Farm Bureau officers and members. O'Neal charges middlemen and processors with selfish interests in their attacks on proposed amendments, and cites statistics showing the enormous spread between prices received by farmers and prices paid by consumers as plain evidence of the necessity for greater control of the distribution of farm products in order to give farmers and consumers a fair deal. Interested In Volume, Not Prices "It is amusing to me," said Mr. O'Neal, "in the 20 years that I have been coming to Washington, to see the same gang, represented largely by the same men, standing here before this committee and opposing remedial legislation for farmers while at the same time they are protesting that their appearance here is to protect the farmer. These distributors and processors have taken a large toll out of farm products, and are still taking it. Naturally, they are interested in volume of products upon each unit of which they can take their profit, rather than increase the prices which the farmers get." O'Neal presented data secured from the consumers council of the agricultural adjustment administration, and from the bureau of agricultural economics of the U.S. department of agriculture, to show the part of the farmer's dollar which is taken by the processors and distributors of various farm products. For dairy products he showed that in 1929 processors and distributors got 48 cents of the dairy product dollar. In 1932, they took 63 cents; and in 1933, 62 cents. The observation was made by President O'Neal that middlemen would not want helpful amendments to the adjustment act to aid in marketing and production control of farm products, because, as he stated "They are interested in volume of products upon each unit of which they can take their profits, rather than increase the prices which the farmers get for their farm products." Farmer's Share Decreases For wheat products, President O'Neal presented data to show that the part of the farmers' dollar which went to processors and distributors in 1929 was 77 cents, leaving 23 cents to the farmers who produced wheat. In 1933 the farmer retained only 11 cents, with the lion's share of 89 cents being absorbed in processing and distributing wheat products. In March 1934, the farmers' portion had increased somewhat up to Assemblyman Ted Craig of Brea, whose campaign for the speakership is gaining momentum throughout the state, Wednesday announced to Anaheim friends and supporters, that he seeks economy in governmental expenditures through common-sense elimination of the least necessary governmental services. "We must bring governmental costs within state income," Craig said. "The only way to do that is to cut expenses. This matter of taxation and public service must be adjusted in a fair, equitable manner. My main concern, of course, is to protect the homes of California. If, through heavy taxation, we force our home-owners out of their homes, we will lose a desired and necessary stability of government, because it is the home-owner who is the backbone of our state and nation. On the other hand, we cannot curtail state services to the point where fundamental obligations would be crippled. There is a common-sense middle ground, a happy medium between those who want all taxes eliminated and those who would confiscate property in the false hope of promoting an idealistic state in which whatever service they are most interested in would become the greatest and most advanced in the world." Craig represents the 74th assembly district, comprised of northern Orange county. His record during the past two terms makes him a formidable candidate for the assembly speakership, in the opinion of season political observers. REPORTS AUTO STOLEN A. W. Knudson of 119 North Lawrence street, Fullerton, reported to Anaheim police that his automobile was stolen from North Clementine near West Center street, Saturday night. FINAL BOND ISSUE VOTE Final vote on the $275,000 high school bond issue was 2074 in favor and $16 against, the board of trustees found when it canvassed the vote Tuesday night. Seeking tax consciousness by home owners of Orange county, Charles A. Lindsay of the California Taxpayers' association this week interviewed civic leaders regarding formation of a joint committee through which authoritative information on tax legislation may be given to the public. Among those in Anaheim first seen by Lindsay were Secretary George Reid of the chamber of commerce; Manager Horace Benjamin of the Bank of America; Vice President Phelps of the Southern County bank; Councilmen Leo J. Sheridan and F. A. Yungbluth; and President Frank A. Gibbs of the elementary school district board of trustees. "My purpose in visiting Orange county," Lindsay explained, "is to aid as much as I can in focusing attention of civic leaders upon fundamental problems confronting the home-owner, especially now, when confiscation by taxation is becoming an ever-increasing threat. The home-owner is the unit upon which our government has been built; any move which threatens to take his home away is the primary concern of every right-thinking American. Our complicated and peculiarly threatening tax situation in California, which may develop into a strike if an ad valorem tax is thrust upon us, deserves the earnest study of every citizen." Lindsay spoke at the Anaheim Merchants and Manufacturers association meeting at the Marigold cafe Wednesday noon, describing the growth of governmental costs which has reached the point of actually threatening many California cities with bankruptcy. He urged close scrutiny of growing duplications of government, in city, county, state and federal divisions. He reviewed several proposals to be placed on the ballot in November, and warned that "it behooves the worker to protest mounting taxes because he in the end must pay the bills." GET HALF DOLLAR Flays Opposing Changes President Flays the prices paid the same products, buried by farmer Washington, D.C. and processors at the purpose of to the agriculture (AAA), which ceau Federation necessary to bring to speedy trial. ent E. A.

This became known when Mrs. Rudolph Boysen, president of the Anaheim American Legion Auxiliary and chairman of its poppy committee, announced that members will be on the streets early to sell poppies to persons wishing to contribute to the aid of disabled veterans of the World war. Nearly 10 million Americans wear the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary poppy each year on "poppy day," the Saturday before Memorial day, and contribute nearly one million dollars for the relief of the war disabled, the widows and fatherless children. All of the poppies are made by disabled veterans, as the label on each poppy shows," she said in pointing out that the local unit gets 60 per cent and 40 per cent goes to the national and state programs, of all funds collected here. Veterans at San Fernando, from where the local committee is getting 1000 poppies, are paid three cents each for the flowers. Water, Inc., Is Launched Monday at Garden Grove COUNCIL PLACES RESPONSIBILITY ON DEPT. HEADS Seven Named to New Jobs As Old City Manager Form of Government Dropped Re-organization of Anaheim city government, marking the final passing of the city-manager control plan in effect for ten years, was completed Tuesday night by the city council, by adoption of an ordinance creating the positions, and appointment of seven department heads to take over duties formerly handled by City Manager John W.

The other four groups are: Orange county water district, set up by a vote of Orange county residents last year with a board of directors empowered and obligated to conserve and protect the water rights of this county; the flood control district, now largely superseded by the water district; the board of supervisors, which has failed to vote funds to complete two different and costly studies of the Santa Ana river basin authorized in recent years; and the Orange County Farm Bureau, which took an active part in the fight to rid this county of wasteful water pumping, such as engaged in by gun clubs. The incorporation was decided upon when a group of seven men made a preliminary survey of the scope of the proposed organization, deciding that canalization, construction of a dam at Prado, and similar subjects are of an engineering nature, and that by forming a legal body it could enter lawsuits, either by instigating them or by joining the defense of parties with whom it is sympathetic. Those forming the temporary board of directors are: Lee C. Deming, S. W. Stanley, Ernest Borchert, E. M. Dozier, E. A. Wakeman, J. J. Denni, and Edward Craffee. Officers elected are: Dozier, president; Stanley, vice president; and Lake, secretary-treasurer. Offices will be maintained at the Garden Grove chamber of commerce. Secretary Lake stated: "We have planned the organization so that a place can be found for all—the differing interests in the water problem. None is excluded.

Hannum, superintendent of the light, water and power department; C. O. Lewis, storeroom superintendent; T. Cashman, superintendent of the shop; Rudolph Nyboe, building superintendent; and Miss Beatrice Miller, auditor. The council, to fill the vacancy caused by defeat of Price at the municipal elections on April 9, appointed Boysen on the city planning commission. Routine reports heard by the council included: 1.

Outfall sewer maintenance cost for three months, $1320.42, with Anaheim's proportion, $383.82. 3. Total of $17,312.95 spent, accounted for by $7,226.10 in demands from general fund; $2,485.78 from PWA, and $7,691.07 in bonds and interest. Several minor items of business included: American Legion's withdrawal of request for $5000 from PWA funds to enable it to transfer request to CWA and hence to SERA since no funds available under CWA; Martin Englehart withdrew protest against Anaheim Workers Cooperative association;mitted a proposition to haul the city's garbage.

June 16, at the city park for their annual picnic reunion, according to announcement Thursday by Mrs. H. L. Durden, press chairman of the Mother Colony chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, which sponsors the event. L. A. (Fayette) Lewis, who has acted as master of ceremonies at these picnics for several years, again will wield the gavel. He was master of ceremonies during the Diamond Jubilee held two years ago, when Anaheim pioneers gathered from all sections of Southern California for the occasion. Mrs. Victor Loly, as regent of the Mother Colony chapter, will be official hostess. Complete plans for the picnic will be announced in the Gazette next week.

Secretary Lake stated: "We have planned the organization so that a place can be found for all the differing interests in the water problem. None is excluded. For this reason we have been careful to select for our incorporators men of known ability who have not been involved in any of the past water fights in the county." Draft of the articles of incorporation cite the purpose of Water, Inc., in part, as follows: "To co-ordinate the efforts of all persons, corporations, associations and districts in the county that are dependent upon pump water for irrigation purposes; to preserve the supply of water to the underground basins; to disseminate information concerning such water supply; to measure and guage the flow of water, and gather information concerning the same; to co-operate with other agencies districts and political subdivisions within and without the county of Orange in protecting subdivisions within and increasing the flow thereof; to intervene in and engage in and prosecute and defend any litigation that affects the supply of water in the Orange county basin.""
