Gauer, superintendent of elementary schools who explained to the members present the plan of the school board GOVERNOR MERRIAM APPEALS TO MEETING OF SUPERVISORS Carrying his fight for the administration bill on highways, Governor Frank Merriam appeared before the California Supervisors meeting now in session in Sacramento. This body is distinctly opposed to the program as fostered by the Governor and talks following the Governor's appeal indicated that the county supervisors throughout the state would vigorously oppose the issue. which is being fostered by his organization. East denied the charge that turning over the county roads to the state would build up a powerful political machine and said that in any event one machine would not be any worse than 58 machines." He said that the supervisors were opposing the plan because of an apparent fear of loss of patronage. This was vigorously denied by Supervisor W. C. Jerome, who scoffed at the idea that Orange county would gain by turning its roads over to the state. The speaker sought to gain support of the cities of Orange county to the plan as outlined in Senate Bill 405, by selling them that the cities would gain benefits from the gas tax refunds under the new proposal. He sought to allay the fears of the counties that they would be discriminated against through the centralization of the highway powers of the state. Supervisor Jerome stated that Orange County maintains its roads at a cost of $226 per mile while the state cost is $547. In answer to this East stated that the cost for state maintenance of roads was one mill per vehicle mile while the county cost is five mills per vehicle mile. East stated that the majority of the people in the state favored the bill which is known as the Auto Club plan. He said, however, that the administration bill will be identical with the Club's plan when the former is amended as planned. He claimed that most of the objections to the plan were selfish. Jerome, in his talk warned his listeners to be wary of the future and to urge it by the past. He asked that the state be allowed to demonstrate its efficiency and economy on the 6600 miles of roads they have already in the system before trying out the new plan. Conditions In Asia Explained To Legion Men A very interesting, as well as educational, talk was made before the Anaheim post of the American Legion at its meeting in the city hall Monday night when Thomas Elliott, for 20 years secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in China, told of the conditions in the Orient. Elliott through his experiences in China was able to throw a new light on the Chino-Japanese trouble which he maintains was fostered through the military men of Japan not wanting a reduction in armaments or appropriations. "You hear many reasons for the trouble over there and you hear many exaggerated reports of the actual conditions. However, the real conditions date back to 1904-05 at which time the peace conference settling the Russian-Japanese war decided upon who was to control a railroad that was built by Russia on Chinese territory in Manchuria with the consent of the Chinese government. "This railroad was originally intended to follow the border line of Manchuria but with the pressing conditions due to the imminent war with Japan the Russian government saved 600 miles and cut across Manchuria. At the conclusion of the war Japan was given control of a section of that road and the property adjacent, which is the land or territory that is today under the control of the Japs." Using charts comprising maps of the Orient, Elliott illustrated that a very small part of Manchuria was under the control of the Japs but also said that due to economic conditions, Japanese would not migrate from their homeland to the newly acquired territory. "Due to the crowded conditions of the islands where there are better than 2000 inhabitants to the square mile, it is necessary that 800,000 persons leave each and every year, but the big problem is where to go. They cannot come to the Americas because of exclusion laws and Japanese must have some place to migrate. It is true they acquired the island of Formosa, but here too, the same condition prevails as in Manchuria, they cannot compete with the Chinese standard of living." A very interesting talk by M. A. Gauer, superintendent of elementary schools who explained to the members present the plan of the school board which will appear on the ballot on March 29. His talk was augmented by a graphic chart made up to show that the school is not asking additional taxes, but a change in apportionment. "Our difficulties are due to two things," said Gauer. "Our source of income is governed by average daily attendance and assessed valuation of property. In both these cases we have dropped. The average daily attendance for 1930-31, considered the peak year was 1601 and last year 1418 while this year we estimate but 1310. "This decrease has been gradual since the peak year. Then too, the assessed valuation of property in the county of better than ten million in 1930-31 has dropped to a little lower seven million estimated for this year. "Therefore our plea is that the tax rate for the elementary schools for this year remain at 81 cents and give us an additional for the maintenance and operation of the schools which is now 45 cents and should be 65 cents. The fact that the bonded indebedness has been reduced will permit use of the extra on the maintenance and operation provided the rate stays the same and is not reduced." Gauer answered the questions put to him by the members of the chamber explaining the comparisons with other cities in Orange county. Spanish Songs Heard On Rotary Program A Spanish theme dominated the meeting of the Rotary Club here Monday when Mrs. Mary Belle Chapman, dressed in Spanish costume sang a number of Spanish songs. Mrs. Chapman is from a family of early settlers in the county. T. L. McFadden was called upon to give a biographical sketch of his life and his talk was very interesting. Dr. Walter L. Bigham reported on the county meeting of the Rotarians held at Orange last Friday evening at which time she celebrated humorist, Chic Sale was the speaker of the which is known as the Auto Club plan. He said, however, that the administration bill will be identical with the Club's plan when the former is amended as planned. He claimed that most of the objections to the plan were selfish. Jerome, in his talk warned his listeners to be wary of the future and to manage it by the past. He asked that the state be allowed to demonstrate its efficiency and economy on the 6600 miles of roads they have already in the system before trying out the new plan. He warned of the danger of centralizing governmental functions away from home. Roy W. Cummings Succumbs to Illiness Roy W. Cummings, 41, a native of Topeka, Kansas, and well-known here as a battery dealer, passed away at his home, 916 North Clementine street following an extended illness. Services are planned for 2 p.m. tomorrow from the chapel of Backs, Terry and Campbell. Entombment will be held at Angeles Abbey mausoleum with members of the I. O. O.

"Due to the crowded conditions of the islands where there are better than 2000 inhabitants to the square mile, it is necessary that 800,000 persons leave each and every year, but the big problem is where to go. They cannot come to the Americas because of exclusion laws and Japanese must have some place to migrate. It is true they acquired the island of Formosa, but here too, the same condition prevails as in Manchuria, they cannot compete with the Chinese standard of living." Elliott said that he would like to see the United States take the lead in changing the existing laws and get together with the nations of the world to help the Japanese in solving its problem. "It is a matter of history that every country that has attacked the Chinese has eventually been absorbed by the Chinese, and should this carry out, and Japan become a part of that nation, do you realize what the man-power plus the Japanese cunning would mean to the rest of the world? We would leave a heritage for a future generation that would mean a real Yellow Peril." Concluding his talk Elliott answered many questions put to him by the Legionaires. The program was under the chairmanship of Charles E. Griffith, who introduced the speaker. Other routine business was transacted during the meeting which was conducted by Earl H. Fulfer, the new commander. FUNERAL SERVICES FOR AGED BREAN HELD Funeral services were held for Mrs. Eliza L. Master, 83, who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Bertha Smith of Brea.

The progress on the installation of a statue of Madame Modjeska, to be placed in the park, was reported upon by Louis Danz who was present at the meeting at the request of the council.
