Twisted Endorsement "Called" by Kaufman In Opening Campaign In an address at Santa Ana Monday night District Attorney S. B. Kaufman called attention to the fact that the voters will have an opportunity at the November election to express their views on a measure which would reintstate local option and allow individual communities to regulate and control sale of liquor. Declaring his belief in majority rule, Kaufman said he favored the measure and that he had signed the petition for placing it on the ballot, before the primary campaign started. At the same time Kaufman exposed unfair tactics used in attempt to defeat him. He showed how an endorsement of him by W. C. Mauerhan, Katella rancher and water leader, was turned into what appeared to be criticism. Kaufman read the Mauerhan letter, which in reality praised his cooperation in preventing water waste, and urged the voters to cast their ballots for him. Sinclair's Backer s Rebuffed at Meet Efforts by Upton Sinclair's Orange county campaign manager, Harry Gerhart, to get an endorsement of his candidate by the Orange county democratic central committee were thwarted at its organization meeting Tuesday, when Chairman J. G. Mitchell announced that he would entertain a motion to adjourn. This quick action was taken, according to observers, in order to prevent an open break which loomed. Before adjournment, however Attorney Horace Head of Santa Ana gained the floor to say that the committee's endorsements should wait the lead of the state cen- TODAY ONLY Nothing is here this world than say the other that there are of employment hours later I declare that all United States neither those s I don't know with the facts as to played or the farmers.

TODAY and TOMORROW Nothing is harder to get hold of in this world than facts. I heard a man say the other day, in a public address, that there are twenty million men out of employment in this country. A few hours later I heard another speaker declare that all the farmers in the United States were starving. I knew neither those statements was true, but I don't know where or how to get at the facts as to the number of unemployed or the number of distressed farmers. My main reaction to such exaggerated statements is that probably everybody is lying about them. Nothing is more misleading than bare facts, either. A fact is not enough unless all the other facts that go with it. Most of us know too many facts that aren't so. By that I mean that we don't understand the relation of the facts we know to other facts that we don't know. I have long since stopped trying to draw conclusions from single facts. The conclusions usually turn out wrong, because someone comes along with a fact I didn't know. RELIGION tolerant today The religious prejudice against the reasonable pursuit of pleasure has pretty nearly faded out almost everywhere. Its basis, of course, was in the human tendency to make pleasure the main end of life, instead of a by-product. Young folks are prone to confuse pleasure with happiness, which are not the same thing at all. But I think I can discern, among the many young folk of both sexes with whom I come into contact, a distinctly religious spirit growing more strongly all the time; just as I find in most churches a growing spirit of tolerance of harmless pleasures, even on Sunday. THE FARMERS CORNER by RALPH H. Taylor, farm leader and governmental observer, reveling ballot propositions which will go before the voters at the general election in November. Last week, Mr. Taylor gave the arguments for the Syncrotax, as advanced by its sponsors. In the following article, he presents arguments against the Syncrotax amendment, as set forth by its opponents. The articles are presented without prejudice. Any attempt to make fundamental changes in the tax system inevitably and invariably brings conflict, for taxation is the one function of government which strikes home with every citizen. And the Syncrotax amendment, which will be submitted to California voters at the general election on November 6th—the most radical and far-reaching tax revision proposal in the state's history—has quite naturally stirred up a veritable hornet's nest of opposition. Revolutionary in scope—casting the present tax structure entirely into the discard and over throwing principles of taxation which are as old as the country itself—the Syncrotax, with its provision for a gross transactions tax in lieu of all other levies, is typical of the general upheaval in governmental theories which has characterized the depression and post-depression period. It typifies also, the present trend toward panaceas—the search for a comDavis Delegates Picked by Clubs Boys and Girls Pick Members To Represent Them at 19th Convention Delegates to the nineteenth annual state convention of boys and girls 4-H Agricultural clubs have been announced by the leaders of the clubs which are sending representatives. These include four boys' clubs and five girls' clubs. The boys' clubs are as follows: Alamitos Johnnies, F. A. Bumgardner, leader, which is sending Clair Wakeham who specializes in Holstein dairy calves. The "Farmers" of Katella, under E. V. Hughes, are sending Verne Adams, the "bee specialist" and Harry Hoskins who raises rabbits for his project. The La Habra Cackle and Root Club, under R. E. Launer, president of the county leaders' council, is also sending a "rabbit boy," Clayton Rowley. Helen Ware of Garden Grove will represent the junior Guernsey breeders, and also the girls of the Senior Club. A. A. Ehman, leader of the Hill Billies of Olive, will attend the conference with his club delegate, Ross McClintock. The first of the girls' clubs, alphabetically, is the Humming Birds of Katella, Mrs. F. L. Benson, leader, and Barbara Jean Lowray, delegate. The Live Wires of Tustin, under Mrs. G. D. Griset, are sending two delegates: Tenna Mae Ashcraft and Pauline Crawford. The Magnolia Club, under Mrs. G. S. Davis, who will attend as chaperone, has selected Peggy Sharp as their delegate. By special request: from Berkeley, Miss Eleanor Davis will also attend for the purpose of serving as bugler for the girls' camp. The Or- REGULATION . . . U. S. alm What we seem to be heading for in America is a compromise between uncontrolled private Capitalism and complete Socialism. The compromise is the continuance of private Capitalism under State regulation. We have had that in the case of railroads for fifty years. It seems to be close at hand in the matter of telegraph, telephone and radio communications. At the same time, there is an increasing tendency to apply State capital to long term enterprises which do not promise a direct return in dividends, but which are presumably justified by their social value. This includes such things as parks, many classes of highways, public buildings, and similar enterprises. Private Capital is not interested in these non-productive ventures. LIFE . . . two views Life is whatever we choose to make it. I know two young married women who live in the same suburb. One is the happiest person I know, the other one of the most unhappy. The happy one is a college graduate, whose husband earns $100 a week as an electrical engineer. They are paying for their home, raising two children. They keep no servant, own a Ford car, and the wife finds time to serve on the school board, pretty nearly runs the local women's club and be the "fixer" to whom all sorts of people come with their troubles. The unhappy woman is married to a man whose income is $25,000 a year. They have no children, but keep three servants and two big cars. She is the best-dressed woman in their town. She spends a lot of money giving entertainments and parties. People go because they get plenty to eat and drink, but I hear folks say that to have to listen to her complaints of imaginary troubles is a high price to pay for a dinner. Life, as I said, is what you make it. Revolutionary in scope—casting the present tax structure entirely into the discard and over throwing principles of taxation which are as old as the country itself—the Syncrotax, with its provision for a gross transactions tax in lieu of all other levies, is typical of the general upheaval in governmental theories which has characterized the depression and post-depression period. It typifies, also, the present trend toward panaceas—the search for a completely new order, rather than correctives. In brief, government, like the individual, is, in many cases, looking toward "greener pastures," or at least pastures which seem greener at long range. But without passing judgment on the merits or demerits of the new and sweeping tax amendment, it may safely be predicted that the Syncrotax will run up against bitter and widespread opposition. Analyzing the opposition, Syncrotax will be opposed by the great majority of California wholesalers, as well as manufacturers, on the score that it places California business at a disadvantage with outside business—taxing California-made and California-distributed commodities in each turnover, while inter-state commerce will be exempt from the tax under federal statutes. Many retailers, likewise, will oppose the tax on the ground that it taxes losses as well as profits—the levy being against gross receipts, without regard to net income. The theory of this opposition is that the wealthy man, with small turn-over, will escape with a comparatively light tax, while the merchant with a big turn-over, but forced to content himself with a small margin on each sale, will be hard hit. California school teachers, also, may be expected to take up the battle against the amendment, as it wipes out the present "priority of school apportionment," placing the schools in the position where they would be forced to fight for appropriations each year, rather than be guaranteed support on the per-pupil, per-teacher basis. And equally vigorous opposition—some justified, perhaps, and the other perhaps unjustified—will come from churches, veterans, charitable organizations, orphanages, museums and like groups, now enjoying tax exemptions, but which would be taxed at the full rate upon Syncrotax. Again, municipally-owned public utilities, which have always opposed attempts to tax their properties, will probably fight Syncrotax, for it prototically, is the Humming Birds of Katella, Mrs. F. L. Benson, leader, and Barbara Jean Lowray, delegate. The Live Wires of Tustin, under Mrs. G. D. Griset, are sending two delegates: Tenna Mae Ashcraft and Pauline Crawford. The Magnolia Club, under Mrs. G. S. Davis, who will attend as chaperone, has selected Peggy Sharp as their delegate. By special request from Berkeley, Miss Eleanor Davis will also attend for the purpose of serving as bugler for the girls' camp. The Orange Blossom Club of West Orange, under Mrs. A. F. Schroeder, report Evelyn Johnson as their delegate. The Sunkist Girls of Olive, under the leadership of Mrs. Anna Linnartz, who will also attend as chaperone, are sending three delegates: Evelyn Brown, Helen Holmes and Nora Linnartz. All of these girl delegates are enrolled in clothing club projects. The Orange County delegation will occupy the same sleeper as the 4-H delegates from Riverside County, so that the journey may be more companiable. The train will pick up 4-H groups all during the night from San Joaquin Valley points, so that by the time Sacramento is reached nearly a train load of the younger generation of farm folks will be in the group to call upon the Governor in his office in the Capitol building. The unhappy woman is married to a man whose income is $25,000 a year. They have no children, but keep three servants and two big cars. She is the best-dressed woman in their town. She spends a lot of money giving entertainments and parties. People go because they get plenty to eat and drink, but I hear folks say that to have to listen to her complaints of imaginary troubles is a high price to pay for a dinner. Life, as I said, is what you make it. "Substance" Topic For Lesson-Sermon "Substance" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The Golden Text is from Philippians: "My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Among Scriptural selections in the Lesson-Sermon are the verses from 1 John: "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." A passage from 'Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,' by Mary Baker Eddy, states: "The admission that there can be material substance requires another admission—namely, that matter is self-creative, self-existent, and eternal. From this it would follow that there are two eternal causes, warring forever with each other; and yet we say that Spirit is supreme and all-presence." TAX COLLECTIONS Total of $709.68 was collected in taxes during August. Of this amount, $560.01 was delinquent, and $135.87 unsecured personal property.

Well, the most convenient way to have it every morning — with an automatic gas water heater that is ready with hot water the moment you step under the shower — costs less than the cream in your cup of coffee. The number of times the hot water faucets are turned on in the kitchen, laundry, and bathrooms of the average home during a month is very large. You would be amazed at the low cost of natural gas to you if you could divide your small bill by the number of times natural gas serves you and your family during the month. The actual cost of automatic water heating with natural gas is so small that you can only compare it with other trifling expenses—anything that costs on the average of a nickel a day!
