COLONY QUIPS Next Tuesday every registered Californian has the opportunity, without charge, to go to his polling place and vote for any person of his choice whose name appears on the ballot of the party to which he claims allegiance. The ones chosen will appear on the November ballot and that is the only way their names will appear before the voters in the general election. In the "good old days" these candidates to appear in November were decided on in a "smoke filled room" and the official stamp of approval put upon them in the latter convention. But our direct primary puts a stop to all that and gave the voter the direct right to choose his nominee. Many of the Democratic and Republican "wheelhorses" sing loudly about the inequities of the primary law and say that, among other things, it eliminates party responsibility. That is probably true, but on the other hand it increases individual responsibility. Just because a man belongs to one party or the other does not make the right person for the job. If a candidate's name appears on both tickets the voters may consider he is good enough to have the nomination of both parties in which case he may practically win election in the primary. In this case the party "leaders" have a great deal of trouble in telling him just what to do. There is the basis of most of the "shouting" against the direct primary and it does not come from the ordinary voter. It comes Riley Tactics Denounced By 'Frisco Paper As the beat of political tom-toms increased in tempo throughout the state and a determined voter populace stood ready to march to the polls for the June 4 primaries, California newspapers added biting criticism last week to the political tactics employed in the race for state controller. With the flat accusation that Harry "E." Riley, candidate for the controller's office, now held by Thomas H. Kuchel, is "trading on a dead man's name," the San Francisco Chronicle expressed acid contempt of such political tactics in an editorial published recently. "This Harry 'E.' Riley, an electrical salesman with no experience in public office, is being presented to the people of California in terms, which, though they avoid direct untruth, can easily lead the average voter to Rev. Casebeer Returns to Christian Church Rev. Al Casebeer will require his position as minister of Christian church at Broadway and Helena street, after serving two years as a chaplain in army. He will present his message, "The Only Answer," to the 10:45 morning worship Sunday. Rev. Casebeer was a captain in the 78th "Lightning" division of the first infantry division to crush the Rhine at Remagen. An abalance from Anaheim, donated by the First Presbyterian church was with his outfit during entire campaign, he revealed. After spending 19 months over seas, mostly in Germany and Belgium, where he was attached to the 9th Field Hospital, he received his discharge three weeks ago at the Camp Beale separat center. Rev. Guy Humphrey, passed during his absence, is awaited word from Washington, D.C., a missionary assignment. does not make the right person for the job. If a candidate's name appears on both tickets the voters may consider he is good enough to have the nomination of both parties in which case he may practically win election in the primary. In this case the party "leaders" have a great deal of trouble in telling him just what to do. There is the basis of most of the "shouting" against the direct primary and it does not come from the ordinary voter, it comes from the self-appointed party "leader." Now the point of all this is that the ordinary voter has a much heavier responsibility to get himself and family out to the polls on election day; get a ballot marked and into the box to be counted. Only in this way does the elector make the primary law work as it is supposed to work. A light vote tends to leave the power in the hands of party "leaders" where in many cases it is misused or at least used selfishly where a heavy vote tends to put the power back in the hands of the people. Most Americans love to find fault with their government and do it loudly when the opportunity permits. If they have not cast their ballots consistently they have no moral right to criticize. Get out and vote if only to give your "squawks" the legitimacy you think they deserve. Do it next Tuesday. Nearly everybody believes in capital punishment providing it's the other fellow's capital that is being punished. A stray hair-pin never brings a married man good luck. A few persons are born rich, while others have to enter politics to get that way. When some people say—"I'll think it over"—they flatter themselves. A court ruled that a man was not insane because he married 15 times—he's just a glutton for punishment. An eye-wink takes a quarter of a second—but a lot longer to explain to the wife. The man that talks loudest on the street corner probably does his listening at home. For each person striving to the controller's office, now held by Thomas H. Kuchel, is "trading on a dead man's name," the San Francisco Chronicle expressed contempt of such political tactics in an editorial published recently. "This Harry 'E.' Riley, an electrical salesman with no experience in public office, is being presented to the people of California in terms, which, though they avoid direct untruth, can easily lead the average voter to believe he is the late Harry 'B.' Riley," the Chronicle editorial stated. Declaring such "attempts to trick people into voting for some unknown" have been seen before, the Chronicle said, "seldom, however, has there been so flagrant a case of trading on a dead man's name as the present candidacy of one Harry 'E.' Riley for State Controller." Whatever other past experience this Harry 'E.' Riley may have had is to no point. The character of his bid for the office, or the bid being made for him, is enough to condemn his candidacy," the editorial continued. Under the editorial heading, "Kuchel is the Controller," the Chronicle said, "we do not question the right of Harry 'E.' Riley to run, under his own colors, for any office he wishes, but we do resist this apparent attempt to throw dust into the eyes of the voters and make them think he is another man." The editorial in its entirety is as follows: "Kuchel is the Controller" "We have aforetime seen attempts to trick the people into voting for some unknown under the impression they were casting their ballots for a well-known man of the same or similar name. Seldom, however, has there been no flagrant a case of trading on a dead man's name as the present candidacy of one Harry 'E.' Riley for State Controller." "This Harry 'E.' Riley, an electrical salesman with no experience in public office, is being presented to the people of California in terms which, though they avoid direct untruth, can easily lead the average voter to believe he is the late Harry 'B.' Riley, for eight years State Controller until his recent death. The misleading nature of these statements appear in this sample: 'Elect Harry E. Riley your State Controller. Past experience merits election.'" After spending 19 months overseas, mostly in Germany and Belgium, where he was attached to the 9th Field Hospital, he received his discharge three weeks ago at the Camp Beale separatist center. Rev. Guy Humphrey, passed during his absence, is awaiting word from Washington, D.C., for a missionary assignment. Parking Meters Seen As Council Passes Tax Increase Passed upon second reading of the city council Tuesday night ordinance 701, became a law effective with the beginning of the fiscal year in July, boosting business license fees for merchants and professional men. The present $18 tax remains all business but additional fees will be required on gross receipt over certain figures, starting at $25,000. Base tax fees must be paid by July 20 after which a 10 per cent penalty tax will be added for each month of delay in payment. City council officials pass recommendations for the installation of parking meters in the city and a tentative contract with Park-O-Meter Company of Oklahoma City, was entered into. E. P. Hapgood was reported have made a survey of the met needs here but could not be reached yesterday for a statement concerning the number or type to installed here. City expenditures for the city for May 1 to 15 period inclusive totaled $44,878.82, City Clerk Charles E. Griffith reported Breakdown of the amount revealed general expenditures amounted to $26,326.36; bonds and interest payments, $2,850; capital outlay, $10,422.91; war bonds, $168.75; and street improvement $86.53.

An eye-wink takes a quarter of a second—but a lot longer to explain to the wife. The man that talks loudest on the street corner probably does his listening at home. For each person striving to leave foot prints on the sands of time—there are ten trying to cover them up. A gal seldom marries a man because he has sense—but because he has cents. You may not be getting what you want, but be thankful that you probably are not getting what you deserve, either... Economy is something that husbands preach and wives practice... Doctors are now operating on the heads of bad little boys to make them good little boys. When we were younger this operation was performed on the other end... What is frequently mistaken for a majority is merely a minority making a lot of noise. Too many persons insist on talking without bothering to wait until they have something to say... Some men think they are carrying a major part of the world's responsibilities on their shoulders, when really all they have on their shoulders is a swelled head. We hope for the best, of course, but so long as people inhabit the earth they are going to have trouble with other people. The last pensioner of the war of 1812 has finally died in Oregon. We are glad to see one war that's finally paid for. Culture can be acquired by effort, but common sense is a gift. This Harry E. Riley, an electrical salesman with no experience in public office, is being presented to the people of California in terms which, though they avoid direct untruth, can easily lead the average voter to believe he is the late Harry E. Riley, for eight years State Controller until his recent death. The misleading nature of these statements appear in this sample: 'Elect Harry E. Riley your State Controller. Past experience merits election.' "No one should be fooled into thinking the 'past experience' thus cited was in the Controller's office. Whatever other past experience this Harry E.' Riley may have had is to no point. The character of his bid for the office, or the bid being made for him, is enough to condemn his candidacy. "We do not question the right of Harry E.' Riley to run, under his own colors, for any office he wishes, but we do resist this apparent attempt to throw dust into the eyes of the voters and make them thing he is another man. "When the late Controller Harry B.' Riley died, Thomas H. Kuchel, a State Senator and former Assemblyman, a man highly qualified, was appointed to the vacancy. Kuchel now is State Controller and he should be elected."

Expoling Gas Heater Perils Anaheim Family Mrs. Robert V. Werner and her two year old son, Alan, narrowly escaped death last Friday morning when a leaking gas heater exploded, setting fire to the kitchen of their home on Liberty Lane, one mile east of Anaheim. Noise of the exploding heater aroused Mrs. Werner and her brother, Ray LeContte, and next door neighbors, Joe and Ernie Wilmore. The Wilmore brothers rushed to the scene and battled the blaze, aided by Ray, until fire equipment from Orange arrived. Mrs. Werner attributed the explosion to a possible leak in the gas heater. Damage to the kitchen was estimated at approximately $500. Minor damage resulted in an adjoining dining room and a storage room, both of which were scarred by flames that spread from the kitchen. "It was really the prompt action of the Wilmore brothers that saved the place," Mrs. Werner said, in describing how the two men, aided by her brother grimly fought the fire, bringing it under control as the fire equipment rolled up to the scene. Ernie Wilmore, navy service-man, home on leave from Camp Shumaker, Calif., had received fire fighting training in service, Mrs. Werner said. His brother, Joe, is a teacher at Anaheim Union High school. The home and ranch are owned by Frank Maroney of Santa Ana.

Rossberg, manager of the Southern California State Costs Up For Last Year, Kuchel Reports California city and county governmental cost mounted to more than 650 million dollars for the 1944-45 fiscal year. State Controller Thomas H. Kuchel, reported this week, making public the state's financial operations during that period. Combined general payments for cost of government of California's cities and counties for the year ended June 30, 1945, said Kuchel, totaled $658,846,105—an increase of $14,799,784, or 2.30 per cent over 1944. Combined city and county general governmental revenues for the same period totaled $638,073,506—an increase of $47,-697,034, or 8.08 per cent over the preceding year. Combined cost of government of 57 counties of California, excluding the city and county of San Francisco, which was reported with the city figures, totaled $444,025,491 during fiscal 1945—an increase of $33,521,702, or 8.17 per cent over 1944. Increases in county costs, Kuchel reported, occurred in the following functions: education $18,-811,219; charities and corrections,$5,818,266; general government,$3,331,713; highways, bridges, etc.,$2,159,046; protection to person and property $2,111,918; health and sanitation,$851,040; and other miscellaneous costs,$1,607,841. The foregoing increases were partially offset by a decrease of $1,169,705 in debt interest and redemption, to arrive at the $33,-521,702 net increase in total county costs, he said. Combined governmental receipts of 57 counties, as reported by Kuchel, totaled $454,325,120 during fiscal 1945—an increase of $32,588,775, or 7.73 per cent over 1944.

Comnany Head Announces Work Started on New Unit Installation of a $13,000 unit additional switching equipment in the Anaheim telephone office at 217 No. Lemon street was start- ed this week, R. J. Rossberg, manager of the Southern California Telephone company announced today, reporting plans of the company to push ahead as rapidly as possible so that a substantial number of new telephones will be made available to those now on the waiting list. A number now waiting for telephones will get their service during several months following completion of the present project, Rossberg said. Those who have been waiting longest will, if at all possible, be served first. The orders are processed in such a mahner as to make this automatic and the company will initiate contact with applicants. Rossberg cautions, however, that there may be exceptions because more cables and wires will still be needed in some sections of the community. Commenting on the local telephone project for Anaheim, Rossberg said, "the company has underway the largest construction program in its history. This construction program will make up for four years during which time our efforts have been bent towards prosecution of the war rather than construction of telephone plant for peace-time purposes of our growing population." There are 120,000 held orders for telephones in the company's Southern California area, Rossberg said, and in Anaheim alone 644 applicants are waiting for service due to lack of central office switching equipment, wires, cables and instruments.

Budgeted expenditures and reserves of the county called for a net increase of .28 cents but offsetting items including changes in assessed valuation, and in surplus, subventions and grants, and miscellaneous revenue items, resulted in no change. Present property tax rate is 83 cents, the association said. The association reported 41 of the state's counties showed increases in the county tax rate for 1945-46 over 1944-45. Expenditure items which pushed tax rates up were salaries and wages; maintenance and operation; capital outlay and reserves, the association said! OPA Stand Held Responsible For Possible Hay Loss Loss of hundreds of thousands of acres of hay was foreseen when board of directors of the California Farm Bureau Federation meeting in emergency session in Berkeley, charged the Office of Price Administration with refusing to increase the price ceiling of bailing wire, the Orange County Farm Bureau office here announced this week. Federation President Ray B. Wiser said the situation has become so critical that it is only a matter of days before the present hay crop is lost. The crop is ready for cutting but growers cannot handle it without baling wire, Wiser said. Farm Bureau board members from throughout the state pointed out that more than 160,000 acres of alfalfa hay in Imperial county and 85,000 in Kern county, are imperiled by the OPA's obstinate stand in refusing to increase the price ceiling to manufacturers of bailing wire.

The traditional three volleys were fired by a firing squad from Maj. Thomas Murphy's high school cadet corps, and the sounding of taps opened the impressive ceremonies. Rev. Hayden Swift Sears, pastor of the White Temple Methodist church, gave the invocation. The school band under the direction of William Cook, played "Ownward Christian Soldiers," afterward playing the national anthem and a collection of marital airs. Paul Demaree, high school superintendent, paid tribute to the dead heroes of Anaheim Union High school, stressing the galantry they evidenced in giving their lives for their country. Following the address, 27 members of the Colonial Co-Eds, a girls' service organization, formed a procession each placing a umbrella at the base of the flag. Ottrus Prices Get OPA Increase The increases made necessary use of increased harvesting packing costs, were granted this week on oranges, grapelems and tangerines, being from six to 28 cents a hard box, F.O.B. shipping.

The area of Central park in York City is 840 acres. The crop is ready for cutting but growers cannot handle it without baling wire, Wiser said. Farm Bureau board members from throughout the state pointed out that more than 160,000 acres of alfalfa hay in Imperial county and 85,000 in Kern county, are imperiled by the OPA's obstinate stand in refusing to increase the price ceiling to manufacturers of baling wire. The current OPA manufacturer's ceiling on bale ties, the Farm Bureau said is substantially below the cellings granted to manufacturers of other steel products thereby cutting production of baling wire. The Farm Bureau advanced the possibility that the Henry Kalser steel plant at Fontana, which operates under electric power and does not depend on coal, could produce the necessary baling wire if OPA adjusted price cellings on the steel going into the product. Estimated need for baling wire during the current year is 110,-000 tons. Farm Bureau officials said pointing out estimated production for 1946 is only 90,000 tons. Matt Triggs, representative of the California Farm Bureau Federation, now in Washington, pressing for revision of price cellings on the urgently needed baling wire, said 82,000 tons will be needed for use in the state in July alone, and production estimates guarantee only about 42,000 tons will be produced. In the Los Angeles milk shed, approximately 200,000 dairy cows depend on hay from Imperial county and other districts, Farm Bureau spokesmen said, adding lack of concentrated feed, unless quickly remedied, will translate itself into an extreme shortage of milk, eggs and meat. Several thousand boxes of Vaencia oranges were recently trucked from the Riverside area to San Francisco for export.
