KUCHEL Editors and Publishers Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. CHARLES H. MANN This week, in Santa Barbara, the League of California Municipalities is assembled in its annual convention; and Charles H. Mann, mayor of Anaheim, brings to a close his year's presidency of that great state organization. As his period of service to all the municipalities of the state is concluded, Anaheim extends to him its congratulations for an unselfish work well done. The state league has been responsible for vast improvement of municipal government. Under its insistent battle, cities now receive a portion of the state gasoline tax to use on their own highways. Problems of municipal taxation, police power and control, city fiscal policy are discussed by representatives of all cities so that progress may be achieved. It is a real thing for a great state-wide order to come into a smaller city of the state to choose its leader. And the state league of cities having done just that, Mayor Mann's ability has been recognized by all city offices up and down California. At a time where there is much unrest among our people concerning government in general, this city is justly proud of its own administration, its own city council, and its own mayor, "Charlie" Mann. THEY KNOW NOT! THEY KNOW NOT! In a Merced home sits a thin young mother, her left arm ending abruptly in a slowly-healing wound, her face marked by an empty eye socket! Grim with the lines of human suffering, her face is edged with tragic shadows. Yet her real tragedy lies not so much in the broken body as in the twisted mind that made it possible. For the woman's wounds were self-inflicted, an eye plucked out, a hand severed, both in a moment of religious frenzy. Man's search for the mysteries of the eternal has ennobled his philosophy and lifted his face to the stars. But the loftiest emotions, filtered through distorted minds, may degenerate pitifully into frenzies of the horrible and macabre. She sought, in her own words, "to not hesitate in a moment of supreme test." Despite her sincerity and her suffering, she failed. Her maimed hand and sightless eye bear witness, not to successful understanding, but to a failure to understand, a failure to catch the religious spirit of faith, hope, and love. WHOSE CELEBRATION? Easterners within our gates, observing a colorful, western-style celebration of Admission Day, often ask why we are so gay. Come to think of it, it might be pertinent to inquire of the visitor why his folks back home aren't out-celebrating us on this day. Pertinent to point out to him that during the trying years since the end of 1932, Californians have paid to the Federal government in taxes $870,800,000 and received back but $721,000,000; which is a way of saying that California, the only western state to carry her own depression load, has in addition contributed $149,800,000—over $21 from every man, woman and child—toward helping the rest of the country stagger along! It was a fortunate day indeed for all points east when we came into the Union fold 88 years ago. They paid for Alaska. They got California for nothing! Really, now, stranger, just between you and us, who should be celebrating this Admission Day? It was a fortunate day indeed for all points east when we came into the Union fold 88 years ago.

Cruzen, Sisson, Geeting and perhaps some others, who were supposed to get heavy support as democrats failed to develop any strength. There will be four real battles in the fall. The D. A., sheriff and two judgeship fights will be hot ones, with the sheriff action generating the most bitterness and ill feeling. There will be more dirt fly over that than all the rest put together. FEW CUTS MADE IN DEPARTMENT BUDGETS The struggle of the supervisors with the annual budget was much less strained this year than last. The final paring down was quick and easy. They lopped off some proposed expenditures for the hospital, in the way of a new building, a small amount in the welfare department and one or two others, and whacked the rest out of the reserve. The chief difference noticeable was in the fact that a year ago the supervisors fought over nearly every department budget and insisted on making a showing of a dollar or two saved all along the line. This year most of the budgets for the various offices and departments went through as the heads requested. And the funny thing is that with one exception these budgets called for increases over last year. Maybe it was the weather or the election campaign.

One of Postmaster main reasons for getting from his political tour of try last week was to address members of the National Letters Carriers association 1,400 ladies, and their 1,345, who were convened inington. But politics had only a conscious interest for the mailmen. As civil servants were more interested in notes on how to give "serve a smile" (their association to); in swapping routes from Maine exchanging with Arizona if their local patrons approved); in boasting the number of boxes that Mrs. Annie Massey, 53, Springs, Miss., on one stater 50 miles, 165-box route travel 17 miles and crosses in an area of one square in marvelling at the street never-stick R. F. D. box at the convention by Farreney Coleman of Evergreen. Mallman Farley said the life must be made attractive THEY TRIED FIGURE IT OUT It happened, and why, has the basis of most of the talk in the court house the past after so warm an election on August 30 a great deal puzzling is done. Some of it is apt to work out a plan of action for the November finals, part of those who have to face run-offs. Otheriff race unquestionably the most interest both before and after the primary. Elliotters claimed not to be surprized that their man ran so far off Jackson. They are freely admitting that he got the ball for the next two steadily and consistently. In Orange created a surprise as any one thing. Its own home town did not too well by him. Elliott's in Santa Ana piled up his reality, for Jackson was well front in the agricultural and got more votes than on in all the beach areas Newport where he was to be very weak. Many people were surprised that William Menton was in the district attorney Menton is not particularly known over the county, did campaigning and showed less before the election than three of his opponents. That there is something more needed than bell-ringing and hand-shaking is the conclusion reached as the result of Elmer Guy's campaign. He did an immense amount of both, landed in third place. Nobody ever questioned the easy victory in sight for Earl Abbey and John Lamb. The only surprise possible was that either of them might slip so far as to lose out in one precinct somewhere. The case with which Fred Sidebottom came through for the recordership was not quite so much expected. Fred's original appointment caused quite a political stir and there was doubt about his ability to overcome the prejudices then aroused. His opponent gave no indication of cash-in on that advantage—if any. The failure of Judge Allen is attributed by some to his refusal to impanel the grand jury to investigate the "Fools Rush In" pamphlet case. It is quite possible that this lost him enough votes to keep him out of the finals since he was less than 200 behind West who edged him out for the run-off with Morrison. Early in the campaign it was expected that manufactured issues involving radicalism, "gimme" support, democratic registration, and allied matters, would cut some figure. Some candidates went in supposedly because they could round up support from these groups. The outcome indicates that there was nothing to it. NOTES "Four long years" of talk about tossing out the old gang at the court house resulted in every man in office, except one, being either elected outright or placed in the finals. Some of them have been in office many years. Three officials went back without opposition. The throw-em-out talk didn't seem to make much impression on the voters, yet the man who has done most of it was at the top of the list in the supervisor race in his own district. How do you figure that? The effect of the pamphlet "Fools Rush In' cannot be figured to have cut much ice. A careful check of the recommendations and condemnations made in the pamphlet indicates a score of about 50-50. Some of those rated "A" lost out. Some of those most roundly damned came out on top. It is hard to believe otherwise than that the result would have been the same had there been no pamphlet. The Watchtower batted pretty high on election predictions. In the county only two errors were made. Judge Allen and Guy were guessed to go finals and failed. All others were correct. In the state governorship nomination predicted correctly, but senatorial results a bad one registered. The concurrence to McAdoo and Riley. The census was wrong—as often pens at the race track. We watchtower boys count that well at Santa Anita winter we'd make more than we ever could in the paper business.

AT ALL DEALERS...or your EDISON OFFICE The MARCH OF TIME Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine POST OFFICE ON WHEELS— WASHINGTON — When one-third of the people of the U. S. want to know where there's a lovey of quail or a good trout hole, who's had a baby, what fresh cow is for sale, or how the road is down river—they ask the F. D. carrier. He or she (there are 323 shes among 32,988 U. S. rural mail-carriers) also has a good idea of who is going to vote for whom in an election year, and can do a lot toward getting folks to vote this way or that. One of Postmaster Farley's main reasons for getting back from his political tour of the country last week was to address 1,550 members of the National Rural Setters Carriers association, their 400 ladies, and their 1,300 juniors, who were convened in Washington. But politics had only a self-conscious interest for the country mailmen. As civil servants they were more interested in swapping notes on how to give "service with smile" (their association's motto); in swapping routes (a man from Maine exchanging with an American if their local postmasters approved); in boasting about the number of boxes they visit Mrs. Annie Massey, 53, of Bay Springs, Miss., on one stretch of over 50 miles, 165-box route, has to travel 17 miles and cross 11 bridges in an area of one square mile); in marveling at the streamlined, never-stick R. F. D. box displayed at the convention by Farmer Adley Coleman of Evergreen, Ala. Mailman Farley said that rural life must be made attractive, that complete postal service: They count on us for . . . their stamps . . . give us their packages . . . send money orders through us." In fact, he said, the smiling servants of the R. F. D. ought to be called not "letter carriers" but "post offices on wheels." HIDEAWAY— HYDE PARK, New York—President Roosevelt last week took several guests, including newspapermen and New York city's Mayor LaGuardia, to see how his "dream house" near Hyde Park is coming along. The fieldstone walls were all up, the roof was going on. Secret service men looked skeptical when the president declared that in his new hideaway there would be no telephone, no radio, no guards except an electric eye to fire a gun if any intruder came too close. PICKETING PRICE— RIDGEWOOD, New Jersey—Tired of seeing pickets of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen's union (A. F. of L.) trudging up and down with angry strike signs, residential Ridgewood's Mayor Frank D. Livermore last week proposed to his borough commission a new idea for restricting picketing—an ordinance imposing a $50 weekly license fee on anyone who wants to carry a sign on Ridgewood's streets. Penalties: $200 fine or 90 days in jail or both. His argument: while a man's civil liberties gives him the right to walk the streets and express himself, the privilege to carry signs is taxable.
