THE GAZETTE Is Now In Its 64th Year OLDEST PAPER IN THE COUNTY 108 NORTH EMILY STREET VOL. LXIV SINGLE TAX AND 2 BOND MEASURES ON NOV. BALLOT 10 Initiatives To Give Voters Wide Choice of Mixed State “Reforms” Wilfen Californians swarm to the polls on November 6 to determine the future trend of government in this state, not only will they vote upon complete line of state, some federal representatives and some county offices, but upon not less than 22 measures, including 10 initiatives. One of the most important and least discussed measures to date is the Single tax, supplanting on the ballot the Syncrotax scheme which the courts in San Francisco last week held invalidated. The law requires that the title of a measure shall truthfully tell the main purposes. The court held that the title to the Syncrotax measure merely named the measure, defining it as a gross turnover tax, but failed to state that it would eliminate every other form of taxation income for the state, including the recently-enacted sales tax. The courts at the same time held that the state secretary erred in refusing to permit the Single tax to be added to County Hospital Is Closed to Visitors Visitors are forbidden for an indefinite period at the county hospital as a result of an order by Dr. K. H. Sutherland, county health officer, as a precautionary measure against infantile paralysis. Three nurses, Margaret Nickell, Claire Codman and Virginia Bradley, have been stricken in recent weeks and are in quarantine at the hospital, one from Costa Mesa, one from Santa Ana and a translent; Valencias Move Up One Point In Estimated Yield Harvesting Throughout State Proves Disappointing as Forecasts Too High Several highlights, including the upping of valencia oranges one point in estimated yield, mark what generally is conceded to be a disappointing harvest in most orchard and vineyards of California, according to latest information from the state department of agriculture. Weather for fruit harvesting San Francisco last week held invalidated. The law requires that the title of a measure shall truthfully tell the main purposes. The court held that the title to the Syncrotax measure merely named the measure, defining it as a gross turnover tax, but failed to state that it would eliminate every other form of taxation income for the state, including the recently-enacted sales tax. The courts at the same time held that the state secretary erred in refusing to permit the Single tax to be added to the ballot, and instructed that this be done because it was shown that sufficient registered voters had signed petitions seeking such action. Other measures on the ballot will include the $24,000,000 bond issue for relief of unemployment, as passed by the special session of the legislature last week; and the $30,000,000 veterans' welfare bonds, which will receive No. 1 position. Initiative measures, besides the two bond issues and the Single tax, include: Intoxicating liquors—Permits sale of liquor in hotels and restaurants. Local Option—Provides local control of liquor. State civil service—Places State employees under civil service. Selection of judges—Declares Supreme or Appellate Court Justice may declare candidacy to succeed himself. Attorney-General—Declares Attorney-General to be the State's chief law officer. Pleading guilty before a committing magistrate. Making State Board of Education elective. Naturopatic act—Creates naturopathic association. Chiropractic act. The other measures which will be on the ballot are; Permitting comment on evidence and failure of defendant to testify in criminal cases. Superior Court — Judicial election districts. Interest rates—Forbids more than 10 per cent. Superior Court judges—New method selection. Constitution convention — for revision of State constitution. Water resources. Claims and budgets—Budgets must be filed with State Controller. Authorizing agreements by political subdivisions for joint exercise of powers. Harvesting Throughout State Proves Disappointing as Forecasts Too High Several highlights, including the upping of valencia oranges one point in estimated yield, mark what generally is conceded to be a disappointing harvest in most orchard and vineyards of California, according to latest information from the state department of agriculture. Weather for fruit harvesting and for sun-drying various dried fruit commodities was satisfactory during August. Of particular interest to Orange county was the report showing that valencias moved up one point to 77 percent of a full crop prospect. Navels stood at the former estimate of 69 percent, showing little change from early estimates. The California walnut crop continues to show about the same readings as for the past two months, with 72 per cent full crop expected, which supports a forecast of 37,000 tons total production. In 1933 the total crop was 32,000 tons. Local harvesting of walnuts was underway this month with indications that the early estimates would prove reasonably correct. According to the state agricultural department, several lemon areas reported that the hot weather of the July and early August had caused a dropping of small fruit, somewhat reducing the crop prospects. Reports as of September 1 indicate a total almond crop of 10,300 tons. Yields have been somewhat below expectations. The total California apple crop is forecast at 6,760,000 bushels, slightly lower than a month ago. Apricot grower reports support a preliminary estimate of 140,000 tons, as compared to 268,000 tons produced in 1933. The fig production is now reported at 68 per cent of a full crop. Growers reduced their opinions of gross production as harvest progressed. Reports of prospective grape production as of September 1 showed a decline from the outlook a month previous. Wine grapes now carry a forecast of 431,000 tons which may be compared with a total production of 429,000 tons last year. Italian grapes showed a greater loss in position than either of the other two grape groups and are now forecast at 799,00 fresh tons. In 1933 the total fresh tonnage was 970,-000 tons. Table grapes are now forecast at a total crop of 241,000 tons. Old Sol turned on the day and kept it on through.

Chapin never fail to carry a thought right in line with the news events of the day. Chapin’s keen understanding of human nature and his ability to reduce the most complicated situation to interesting picture form, which all newspaper readers understand, long ago elevated him to the front rank of American cartoonists. Chapin’s climb to fame was as feature cartoonist on the Kansas City Star and Times; the St. Louis Republic; the Philadelphia Public-Ledger; the Country Gentleman and numerous national publications. Mr. Chapin’s cartoons are a regular feature in The Anaheim Gazette every week. See Chapin’s “Again the Chase is On” cartoon in this issue, on page one. AHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1934 AGAIN, the chase is on——by A. B. Chapin HIGH COST OR LIVING PURCHASING POWER MOST OF US Old Sol Turns On Heat To Set High September Record Anaheimers Hunt Ice Cream Parlors Tuesday as 105 Reached by Mercury Old Sol turned on the heat last Friday and kept it on through Wednesday. Just why he wanted to make Southern California squirm and squiggle nobody knows, but there are people who believe it was just to give us a change of heat from the kind that will be applied just before the big election in November. Anyhow, Old Sol kept everything but the thermometers. Friday seemed awfully hot, but its 3 degrees wasn't so band in comparison to what was coming. Saturday the sun tuned up and sent the mercury one degree higher than Friday, but on Sunday an indication of what might happen was given when the needle pointed to 99. It dropped three degrees Monday but just for a mere rest. Tuesday morning local residents awoke bright and early to see the sun already high on the heavens and well on the way to something everybody could feel was going to be a record. It was. By noon the thermometer had passed the highest September mark in record, a mere 101 recorded on September 5, 1931. Old Sol beamed down upon his achievement, and Anaheimers hunted the ice cream parlors, by one clock to the tune of chipped Mails To 3 Cities Speeded As Shift In Schedule Made Anaheimers Will Get Letters Saturday Ordinarily Delivered Monday Anaheim residents Friday morning will receive mail on the first delivery that usually arrives on the afternoon delivery, and on Saturday morning will get mail which ordinarily is held over for Monday morning delivery. This speeding up of schedule was completed by postmasters of Orange county early this week, following out plans which they have recommended for several years. The plan merely inaugurates a Star truck routing to pick up mails from Santa Ana, Orange and Anaheim and deliver them to Fullerton where they are placed abroad a train six hours earlier than heretofore; and, on return, brings back mail from Fullerton which ordinarily had to go into Los Angeles and return, another period of approximately six hours. The mail will be delivered to and unloaded at Fullerton at 5:30 am, every week day, speeding up the mails by six hours to three cities, and making a big saving of 26 hours on Saturdays. Orange County 2nd to L. A. On Loans From Government Persons who otherwise are eligible but fail to register by September 27—next Thursday—must sit on the sidelines and watch what perhaps will prove California's most exciting and importantubernatorial election pass into history, without the satisfaction of casting a ballot. The deadline for registration is next Thursday, according to County Clerk J. M. Backs, who states that date is just 40 days before the final election in November. The law fixes the deadline. Political leaders throughout the state endeavored this week to get persons to register in order to be able to assume full citizenship duties and vote in November. The character of the election, they point out, is such that the fundamental principles of the traditional American form of government is challenged by an importation of non-American, communistic philosophy which in itself will hinder instead of help prosperity. Replica of Old California Orange County's Con It was. By noon the thermometer had passed the highest September mark on record, a mere 101 recorded on September 5, 1931. Old Sol beamed down upon his achievement, and Anaheimers hunted the ice cream parlors. Only one o'clock, to the tune of chipped ice and a medley of speculative chatter on trips to Alaska, the mercury climbed to 105 degrees. On into the afternoon the needle held its position. Toward 4 o'clock it began to lose ground, but 8 p.m. found Anaheimers sitting on the front porch enjoying what little breeze there was. By 2 a.m. light blankets were added to the sheets as Anaheim went to sleep. Next morning looked like another corcher. However, Old Sol's temper changed, and all the thermometer could muster at 12:30 p.m. was 94. A cool breeze swept in off the ocean in the afternoon and the evening was delightful. Bandit Robs Clerk Eludes the Police Since 2:30 a.m. Friday Anaheim police have been looking for a man described as 25 years old, 5 feet six inches tall, and weighing about 135 pounds, who entered the Pickwick hotel and confronted Night Clerk Eddie Harold with a gun, forcing him to "shut up and turn around" while the bandit offered the cash drawer of $15 and took some small change from the clerk. Upon completion of his search for cash, the robbed instructed Harold to talk to the far side of the mezzanine before turning around. The robber fled through the doors and started south on Los Angeles street, successfully eluding police who rushed to the scene on first call. Orange County 2nd to L. A. On Loans From Government Orange County was second only to Los Angeles county in amount of loans closed during the month of August over the entire territory of California. Nevada, Utah and Arizona, according to a statement made here by President Charles Parker of the federal land bank. Thirty-six land bank loans amounting to $291,300 and 44 land bank commissioner's loans for $187,000 brought Orange county's quota for August up to $478,300 representing a total of 80 disbursements. Los Angeles county led the field of the farm credit administration's eleventh district with 32 land bank loans for $325,800 and 73 commissioner's loans amounting to $268,500—total, 105 farm mortgage loans for $594,300. San Joaquin and Tulare counties ranked third and fourth, with totals of $455,300 and $428,800 respectively. D. A. R. Meeting To Be Held on Friday All members of the Mother Colony chapter, D. A. R., are urged to be present at the general meeting to be held in the Pioneer house at 2 p.m. Friday. Mrs. Inez Loly, regent, will preside. Mrs. Stephen Gallagher and Mrs. Fred Sidebottom will hostesses. The meeting will discuss business of the society during the coming year. Half an hour previous to the general meeting, members of the board will convene for a director's session.

Jackson Faces $30,000 Suit Sheriff Logan Jackson faces a suit for $30,000 damages as a result of action taken by Henry M. Kinslow and Walter T. Kinslow of Santa Ana, who charge illegal sale of their property to the First National Bank of Santa Ana after a writ of execution had been issued by the superior court on a case brought against Lenora E. Kinslow by the bank. The bank is named joint defendant. Husband Callers On Pro-Rate Now for F. B.

Such was the reversed order of things this week-end, the first since local schools took up Monday, when high school enrollment dropped 17 from its last year's mark, and elementary school enrollment slid from 1530 last year to 1477 this. Looking for the place where decreased enrollment was found High School Principal Clayes found it in registrations of freshmen, 228, this year as compared with 265 last. The total enrollment, however, is close enough for Principal Clayes to believe that registrations this year will exceed those of last. The increase in enrollment by rural areas, where busses pick up ap- Rules for Unique Event Are Published for Affair This Saturday Husband callers reached the pro-rate basis this week. Mrs. L. A. Bortz, chairman of the home department of the Orange County Farm Bureau, specifies that because of such tremendous interest in the first husband-calling contest held in the West, entrants must be limited to married women members of the Farm Bureau, with only one contestant from each Farm Center. The husband callers will compete at the Farm Bureau picnic to be held Saturday at Orange County park. The picnic begins at 12:30 o'clock. "Little did we realize," she said Tuesday, "that our husband calling contest at the Farm Bureau picnic this Saturday, would be of national news interest. Since it has been given front page space in local and metropolitan newspapers and featured over weekend radio news broadcasts, a great deal of local interest has been created." Asked how the Home Department came to select this novel feature, Mrs. Bortz continued, "We were asked to cooperate in the seventeenth annual farm Bureau Picnic. After numerous proposals we selected the husband calling contest. We had no idea it would prove such a feature. We didn't even know this would be the first time it had been put on in the west. "The rules are very simple. Each contestant selects the name she will use. It may be Charlie, Louie, Martin, Elmer, Bobble, David, Henry, John, William, Dennis or even Dearle or Honey, or any other name. It does not have to be the name of the contestant's husband. She can make one call or can repeat not to exceed three times. She must be a married woman and a member of the Orange County Farm Bureau. She can add not to exceed five other words to the name. That's all there is to the rules. Each Farm Center is entitled to enter one contestant." Husband callers reached the pro-rate basis this week. Mrs. L. A.
