ORANGE COUNTY WEEKLY WATCHTOWER A Compilation of Observation and Comment by and for the Weekly Newspapers of the County APPEARING IN THE FOLLOWING: Huntington Beach News Newport Beach News Garden Grove News Santa Ana Bulletin Westminster Gazette Coastline Dispatch South Coast News Buena Park News Yorba Linda Star Placentia Courler Anaheim Gazette Seal Beach News La Habra Star Tustin News Brea Progress A SORKOWFUL OCCASION When the regular monthly dinner of the Orange county weekly newspapers is held on the evening of September 28, it will be a memorial occasion. Arrangements are said to be in the making, and it bids fair to be one of the most interesting, and perhaps resultful, dinners that the association has had since its first organization, several years ago. There are sixteen newspaper members and now it looks like all will be represented. It happens that this is the first anniversary of the newspaper men accepting from the county supervisors a considerable amount of flood district advertising, for which the newspapers as yet have never been paid. This advertising, it will be remembered, was in connection with the first election held (on October 4, 1935) on the proposition of issuing $12,500,000 bonds, with which to construct a water conservation and flood control system. It will be remembered also that a second election was held later and that the bonds were defeated on both occasions. It develops that this advertisement county attorney is elected. The newspapers are said to feel of course, like they had been taken on a snipe hunt and are still holding the proverbial sack to the extent of approximately $160 each. Undoubtedly the newspapers, as a rule at least, have felt that the supervisors have shown too little interest in the predicament, in which the newspapers have found themselves. It seems, on the surface, that they have really shown no interest, being seemingly and evidently of the opinion that if the newspapers lose, it's just too bad. LAW LIMITING TAXES Ted Craig believes the day will come when there will be a law limiting taxes. He expressed this opinion recently in addressing the Placentia Chamber of Commerce. He says that is the eventual solution. With judicial management, Mr. Craig stated, the state of California's financial condition will be much better than has been anticipated at the end of this year, with a supposed deficit about one half as large as has been figured by statisticians. Queried as to the "chain store tax," Mr. Craig stated he is op- This advertising, it will be remembered, was in connection with the first election held (on October 4, 1935) on the proposition of issuing $12,500,000 bonds, with which to construct a water conservation and flood control system. It will be remembered also that a second election was held later and that the bonds were defeated on both occasions. It develops that this advertising, yet never paid for, amounts to approximately $160 to each newspaper of the county. It was accepted in good faith by the newspapers, although an Orange county justice of the peace has since held that the newspapers cannot now collect because they did not ascertain ahead of time the validity of the transaction. Thus far the payment of the bills to the newspapers has been side-stepped successfully by the county supervisors, who have gone to the trouble of employing additional high-powered attorneys which resulted in defeat of the payment. The supervisors, hold they placed this advertising not as supervisors but as ex-officio supervisor flood control district officials or directors or whatever the correct title is. Nevertheless the newspapers accepted it from the supervisors. Acting fore-thoughtedly ahead of the justice of the peace's decision, the newspapers thought they were in the clear as the county attorney, Mr. Menton, had given a favorable opinion to the supervisors. It was understood, too, that the state attorney general had given such an opinion also. Evidently it developed the county attorney's opinion was wrong, for both the county auditor, Mr. Lambert, who turned down the newspaper payments, and the supervisors employed outside attorneys to fight the newspapers' case in court.

PULLING CHESTNUTS OUT OF A FIRE All the third party candidate can do is to horn in on the vote of either one of the two major party nominees. In some states he may cut in heavily on the vote of one of the candidates, and yet that candidate could have such a big lead in a state that he would carry the state anyway. So what's the use of the union candidate wasting his time. He is outside looking in. Consequently the three or four political sideshow which have endorsed him will fold up, and in all probability after the election blow out. The third party nominee has as much chance of being elected president as a rabbit would have fighting a wild cat. LOST CHORDS A lady screeches and screams over the radio almost daily.
