IKES ALL READY With the climax to all this political ballyhoo, good and bad, scheduled for November, over two months away, rumblings are already heard concerning the long list of initiative and referendum proposals and constitutional amendments, upon which the voter will be required to pass judgment. Upon some of those proposals there may be sharp and serious conflict. But it appears to this newspaper that there is one concerning which all this locality should be in accord; and that is an initiative measure seeking to compel off-shore fish reduction plants to come within the jurisdiction of the state. Sponsors of that particular measure are the sportsmen of the state, among them our own good Isaac Walton members. All of them are eager to be in the fray, fighting for this most important measure. As the reader will remember, the November proposals are given numbers; those numbers are assigned by the secretary of state, and that work will be done within a few days. As soon as the initiative in question is numbered, the Ikes of this city will start the ball rolling for its adoption by the people, and this newspaper will join them in the interest of good sound conservation for California. JUSTICE OF THE PEACE It will be well for the voters of the Anaheim township to remember that Justice of the Peace Charles Kuchel held the local judgeship over ten years ago, when the salary was pitifully small; no one wanted it then. But now with a raise—and not too large a one at that—it becomes more attractive. Judge Kuchel, who has spent all his lifetime here in Anaheim, where he was born, is a candidate for re-election; and upon his record of thousands of cases, and the single straightforward justice which he metes out to those before him, we commend his reelection to the township. TODAY'S YOUNG MAN What shall we tell the young man of today: when he asks what kind of a future America and the 'American Way' has to offer him? It is quite a chore to keep statistics at hand that will graphically the story of his heritage. Here are a few points: we have only 6 per cent of the world's population and 71 per cent of the world's automobiles; 52 per cent of the world's telephones; 44 per cent of the world's radios; 30 per cent of the world's railroads; double the life insurance of the rest of the world. More school facilities and more children in school. More homes owned by families. These are material things and yet they are the visible symbols of spiritual wealth. Still, to follow through, a philosophy must take the place of pure material thinking and we think that William Allen White gives when he said in a talk to American youth: "You must point your achievements toward a fairer distributive system in America. Abundance is here for the taking. Don't bemoan your lost frontier. It is even now flashing on your horizon. A gorgeous land lies before you, fair and more beautiful than man before has ever known. Out of the laboratory will come new processes to multiply almost infinitely material things for your America; but only if you will hold open the channels of free science, unfettered thought, and the right of a man to use his talents to the utmost provided he gives honest social returns for the reward he takes." SAMPLE SHOWS SAMPLE BALLOTING IS NOT SIMPLE Within a day or two more than 71,000 people in Orange county will have in their hands a same ballot for the August 30 primary election. The idea is that a voter may study it and make selection from the menu of candidates offered, before he goes the polls to vote. Each voter of course receives sample of the ballot for the party in which he is registered. They are, however, six sets of ballots in Orange county, one each party which will hold primary. And believe you us, preparation, printing and checking of these ballots is no small task. The task is on the shoulders of county clerk. The six parties which qualify for primary elections in Orange county are: democrat, republican, progressive, Townsend, prohibitive and socialist. In some counties the communist party also has good many blanks on the other ballots. Ballots for all parties carry the non-partisan county township candidate lists, who are the same for all parties. If getting up the lists of names for each party ballot, and then printing the required numbers were all there is to it, the job preparing and printing would be fairly simple. But the requirements that the names be rotated by districts so that where more than one candidate is out for same office the same candidate does not have the advantage top position all the time. Candidates for state offices tate on the ballot by assemil districts. Candidates for county office rotate by supervisorial triets. Candidates for supervise THE POCKETBOOK OF KNOWLEDGE BY TOPPS THE TRAILER INDUSTRY, BORN DURING THE DEPRESSION, NOW INCLUDES 350 MANUFACTURERS EMPLOYING THOUSANDS OF WORKERS SPOONS 2 FEET LONG WERE USED IN ENGLAND IN THE TIME OF QUEEN ELIZABETH (USED TO REAROVER THE LARGE AVEWS WORN AT THAT TIME) SNAKES CANNOT CLOSE THEIR EYES...NOR CAN THEY HEAR — THEY HAVE NO EYELIDS OR EARS TAXES PAID LAST YEAR BY ISO LEADING CORPORATIONS AMOUNTED TO $147 PER EMPLOYEE OL' KING COTTON COTTON NOW GOES TO THE RETAIL MARKET IN MORE THAN 10,000 FORMS INCLUDING CELLULOID, RAYON, SMOKELESS POWDER, PLASTICS AND FINISHES The next thing is to get the marked with little crosses in the right places.

MODERN REFLECTORS “FENCES” WILL TRIED ON DANGEROUS STATE HIGHWAYS Three miles of the Bayshore highway in San Mateo county are to be outlined with brilliant reflector discs to test a new method of increasing night driving safety, the Automobile Club of Southern California sign posting department reported this week. Trial installation of the reflectors, closely spaced on posts at both sides of the roadway to catch the beams of headlights, is being made by the state division of highways. The stretch chosen for the test is from Mills Field airport to beyond the Broadway-Burlingame intersection. Mounted on posts extending about 30 inches above ground, the reflectors are designed to outline the course of the highway far ahead at night. The plan also is said to help reveal the presence of vehicles or pedestrians on the road by breaks in the "fence" lines of reflected light. Enthusiastic reception of the reflector system in Michigan, where a 62-mile installation was made last April prompted road-signing officials to try the plan here. Night accidents on the reflectorized highway in Michigan, from Lansing to Detroit, were reported to have declined 70 per cent since the rectors were installed. The Bayshore highway test, if successful, is expected to lead to result that John concluded to stay with the family, at least until they reached Los Angeles, which was reputed to be quite a city. He came on through with the others and landed at Tustin. He use of the plan on stretches of highway in where night driving has pronounced.

Furthermore, Orange county is not so large but that a considerable percentage of the population know, or knew author. One of the volumes which has aroused more interest than most of those produced by local writers is "Enchanted Vagabonds," the story of a trip along the coast of Mexico and Central America. It is a tale filled with many hair-raising adventured experienced by Mr. and Mrs. Dana Lamb. This is not a review of the book. But one paragraph in it referred to the fact that Lamb once ran away from home and toured various foreign countries. Because Lamb is the son of John Lamb, county tax collector, this item was easy to check up on. So the question was put to Lamb Sr., did Dana run away from home? He did not exactly run away, Dad Lamb reports. He made a tour of Europe, but with full parental knowledge as to his general whereabouts. But reference to Dana's journeyings produces more that is of interest about the senior Lamb. In fact, Johnny confesses that he had a yen to run away and strike out for himself—years ago. The Lamb family was on its way from New York to California when Johnny was about 15 years old. He had it figured out that he was going to slip the home tie in Chicago and go it on his own. But while in Chicago they heard other travelers telling about California and its wonders, with the final recollection on the reflectorized highway in Michigan, from Lansing to Detroit, were reported to have declined 70 per cent since the rectors were installed. The Bayshore highway test, if successful, is expected to lead to suit that John concluded to stay with the family, at least until they reached Los Angeles, which was reputed to be quite a city. He came on through with the others, and landed at Tustin. He hadn't had a chance to explore Los Angeles, but later on he and two other boys made a trip to the big city. With the idea that it was located on the shores of the ocean they climbed to the top of the hill on Second street and took a look. There was no ocean to be seen, and mighty little city. Open country, with a few ranch houses here and there, was all they could see. The two boys who were from the east, both city bred, were disgusted. Los Angeles was a disappointment. Which may be the reason that Johnny Lamb has been a resident of Orange county ever since. NOTES One lawyer candidate for a county office admits that he is in the race merely to advertise himself as a lawyer. He says the "law" does not permit him to advertise as an attorney, but he gets around it by advertising as a candidate, and by including reference to his profession and the location of his office in his "news" articles he hopes to get a double shot at it. For some reason $200 seems to be the price fixed for "delivering" a group of votes. At least, all the stories seem or heard about these propositions name that figure. Rumors circulated around that one professional "fixer" agrees to deliver the Townsend vote, another has a pull with the WPA workers, a third can get all the old-age pensioners to vote as he tells 'em, while others have the strings on this or that group. No candidate would admit he had coughed up on any such proposition, and it is doubtful if any of them have. Some of these groups may swing to one or another candidate, but not because any fixer told them to. Slowly but surely against hidden taxes is up in the shadow of the they originate—the natal.

Washington Snapshots by JAMES PRESTON Inside Washington is thinking and talking about: A genial young man, Tommy Corcoran, known to the capital as "Tommy the Cork." He is an intimate White House adviser. In a recent magazine article a veteran Washington correspondent, Henry M. Hyde, quoted Corcoran as having personally made his statement to him: "The definition of private property in the United States must be changed. We hope to make this change gradually and without disorder." It is more than a political statement. What he is talking about would affect every man, woman, child, farmer, factory worker and starekeeper in America. A bloodless purge of all property owners! Slowly but surely a campaign against hidden taxes is being built up in the shadow of the city where they originate—the national capital. In Maryland, just outside Washington, the very existence of tobacco farmers is threatened. They find no market for their crop. Sig- ington that the National Economic committee will not hold public hearings until after the November elections. This is being considered as another gesture to business that the study is to be an objective one. If it is decided upon it will go far to fostering the cooperative spirit quietly developing between business and committee members. Many think of this study (commonly referred to as the monopoly investigation) as something new. It really had its inception before the constitution was written. James Madison raised the issue at the constitutional convention. He proposed inclusion of a provision in the constitution as follows: That congress be empowered "to grant charters of corporation in cases where the public good may require them and the authority of a single state may be incompetent." Madison's proposal was killed in a committee. But since that time the scope of the authority of the federal government to regulate business has been a recurring dispute. In the last 25 years, 31 separate bills touching upon this subject have been introduced in con- gress. And congress has refused to vote federal control. But here is something new: One state agriculture department now advises Mr. Farmer to call formally at his hen house. He should knock before entering. To swing the door open and walk in abruptly throws the hens into confusion. It upsets their nervous systems. It is bad for laying qualities. Household economy: Spoiling a whole glass of orange juice in order to save half an orange that feels suspicious.

A bloodless purge of all property owners! Slowly but surely a campaign against hidden taxes is being built up in the shadow of the city where they originate—the national capital. In Maryland, just outside Washington, the very existence of tobacco farmers is threatened. They find no market for their crop. Significantly, instead of urging, at their meetings, that tobacco be plowed under they ask reduction of the hidden tobacco tax. That tax, one of the steepest hidden levies, is 6 cents on each package of 20 cigarettes, or $21.90 a year for every one-pack-a-day smoker. The tobacco growers figure that if the tax were restored to its 2½ cent pre-war level, popular brands selling two for a quarter would cost less than a dime and consumption would increase. If Maryland's farmers are successful, legislators may be forced to do something they won't like—cut a hidden tax. They like hidden taxes because people don't realize they are paying them. The late Speaker Henry T. Rainey of the house once summarized the legislators' tax policy as designed "to get the most feathers with the least squawking of the goose." It is being whispered in Wash- The Doctor MUST Give Service A Medical Clientele Is Based On Confidence Much of the Patient's response to treatment depends on confidence in his Doctor. Not only is there a physical reaction to this feeling of confidence in the method of treatment, but the fact that you believe in your Doctor, causes you to follow instructions more carefully. This confidence of the Patient can come about through only one thing—satisfactory service and the knowledge that your Doctor is competent. This confidence of the Patient, is the chief foundation of a Doctor's practice. Naturally, it is up to the Doctor to render the highest type of service. If for no other than selfish reasons.
