A home is a valuable thing worth owning; every new owner brings lasting benefit to a community if the house is worn what it costs. But houses that are not of sound construction are public liabilities. The owner of good house in a good community pays taxes on his property willing but an abandoned house yields no taxes and lowers the value of every house near it. Federal MOST residences built before they sold and are bought with borrowed capital, the most lender holding a mortgage. There was a time when a mortgage was ample protection because last gained value faster than house lost it but not lately. Houses five to ten times as much as loand back in 1936, the government began insuring mortgages to keep business active. The depression-born idea lives.

The speaker for Monday night's meeting will be Alonzo L. Baker, Interpreter of American Life and Ideals, who is one of the most popular speakers on the American platform. Mr. Baker has appeared before many large audiences, conventions, clubs and university groups. In the analysis and exposition of American principles and ideals, both on the national and international levels, Alonzo Baker is second to none on the platform today. He balances popular appeal with a scholarly approach, ficing neither to the other a factual and objective tion, yet always inspirational well. His speaking styles and pungent, fresh and engaging dynamic and full of life. In the present critical western civilization and democracy, Mr. Baker's interest is in an interpretive American principles which lead this nation to strengthen energize the institutions ofracy at home, and to cooperate intelligently with other nations good will in the establishment maintenance of international librium.

Change In County Tax Rate; Value Taxable Property Goes Up 2 Million New Year's round-up of facts at Orange county government shows the county tax rate for gen-purposes at 83 cents for 1944-condition to face the postwar period. "Comment on the state," the association said, "is made advisely Change In County Tax Rate; Value of Taxable Property Goes Up 2 Million New Year's round-up of facts at Orange county government is the county tax rate for gen-purposes at 83 cents for 1944 compared with the same per cent of assessed value for 1943-assessed value of taxable property in the county of $211,832,190 for 1944-45, compared with $202,-25 for last year; per capitaation of $1,232 for this year; shared with $1,236 for 1943-44; 172,000 people estimated in county at January 1, 1945; shared with 164,000 on January 44. These data, summarized California Taxpayers' associations are for the county alone for the cities, and the school district in the county not included. The state government, with a total fund cash excess which expected to reach $60,000,000 June 30, 1945, and with $239,-000 already set aside for post-construction and other obligations, is also in fine financial condition to face the postwar period. "Comment on the state," the association said, "is made advisedly, for action by the 1945 legislative session, which opens January 8, could 'upset the apple cart.' Passage of legislation radically increasing the demands on the whole state treasury could guarantee either new and increased state taxes or the state treasury in the red in the postwar period. "Citizens generally should give close attention to expenditures on all levels of government in California," the Taxpayer's association declared. "They should be on guard against excessive or ill-timed proposals for postwar projects or services. They should question any further expansion of California's social welfare and aid government practice that will release men and women for needed war work. They should emphasize individual responsibility, individual saving, and perpetuation of the free enterprise system. They should insist that all legitimate tax reductions be put into effect when the budget and tax programs for the next fiscal year are made."

BENSON President of Harding College Searcy, Arkansas PHETS of business trends several years before Pearlbor were predicting a build-up to be in progress about the War gave this forecast a shock but did not change the underlying facts much. "When trends and restrictions are read from lumber and hardwood" the experts say, "Look out for hurry-up demand for places we break all records." Home is a valuable thing, with owning; every new one gains lasting benefit to a community if the house is worth it costs. But houses that not of sound construction are liableities. The owner of a house in a good community taxes on his property will but an abandoned home has no taxes and lowers the value of every house near it. MOST residences are built before they are sold and are bought borrowed capital, the money held holding a mortgage.

Houses cost to ten times as much as lots back in 1936, the government began insuring mortgages keep business active. The depression-born idea still The banker carries the buyer and the national Treasury carries the banker, but carries the Treasury? Answer: the taxpayer! If Mr. Buy- er's new house is a "jerry" he abandons it. The banker takes it over and the Treasury pays off, but the payer of federal taxes is stuck. He has an interest in every house so financed. LOCAL taxes are involved even more. Building helps a town. Each new home in a good subdivision means a new man to help pay the cost of running the city, "broadens the tax base." But vacant houses only raise the rates on other older homes in more substantial neighborhoods. Such leaks of revenue ought to stop. With every economy, taxes will be higher after this war than ever before. Business improves when building booms start and prospers while they last. But a boom can be a counterfeit. Loans ought to be easy on well-built houses and impossible on poor ones. When government underwrites a shoddy shack it amounts to making the taxpayers guarantee a sweet profit to any dishonest builder who can fool a banker. It has been done. Organizations of established real estate brokers have power to enforce standards of home construction as high as any community demands. At a very small additional cost any honorable builder can give assurance of a quality structure to his customers, to their bankers and to the Treasury, with a certificate of structural rating. Workable machinery exists already. Forum Lectures to Free to Public with a scholarly approach, sacrificing neither to the other.

Work Starts On $130,000 Outfall Sewer Pipeline Work was scheduled to start Tuesday morning on the $130,000 joint outfall sewer line replacement, aggregating nearly four miles of 30-inch vitrified line extending from near Crone on Euclid avenue, through Garden Grove to the Verano corner at the outfall disposal plant. Anaheim is the contracting city on the job which is partially financed by a 40-percent federal grant. Balance will be financed by the outfall member cities in this district ahead of the replacement section. Garden Grove, a joint unit owner in the outfall sewer system, does not have to stand any of the expense involved. Since the line runs through that city several streets will be torn up and blocked until the work is finished. Contract for taking up the worn out 27-inch line and laying the new 30-inch pipe was awarded to the Gogo Construction company of Los Angeles. A. A. Johnston of Garden Grove will be official inspector on the job. Excavation work for the big pipeline will be done by a huge mechanical ditch digger and by the use of a radar instrument all gas and water pipes crossing the sewer line will be located and cut by hand ahead of the digging machine. Several months will be required to complete the job according to estimates. ER COLONY WINES ER ST. ANAHEIM CALIF. OLD DOBBINS Blended Whiskey 86 Proof 4-5th Qt.
