L. H. Eckel Asks Re-Election as County Auditor Formal announcement of his candidacy for re-election was made today by County Auditor Leslie H. Eckel. In his ninth year as County Auditor, Eckel has won high praise from county grand juries and from taypayer groups for the way he has conducted his office. Eckel took office in August, 1941, when he was appointed to serve out an unexpired term, after he had worked many years as chief deputy. He was elected to the position in 1942 and was re-elected in 1946 without opposition. The repute in which he is held by the county auditors of the state is shown by the fact that he was selected by them as president of the County Auditors' Association of the State of California in 1946, and on February 22, 1950 was elected secretary-treasurer of the Association. He resides at 1020 Freeman Street, Santa Ana, with Mrs. Eckel and their son, Jerol, who will conclude his studies at Santa Ana High School this year. In announcing his candidacy in the June 6 primary, Eckel said: "The office of Auditor is of supreme importance to the tax-paying citizens. It is the heart of the financial structure of the County and its School and Special Districts. Taxpayers' money must be adequately safeguarded by proper and intelligent scrutiny. This is a public trust, and I have endeavored at all times to merit the confidence reposed in me. The Auditor is the taxpayers' protective servant. I will sincerely appreciate..."

Center Anaheim California East Week The Governor refused to commit himself on whether he would impose new tax measures if they are permitted to him by the legislature, with specific reference to proposed tax on cigarettes for educational purposes. "We'll have to see what the plan looks like," he declared. The Legislature: The assembly received the Governor's near dollar budget from the ways means committee, but so far, it taken no action on the document and the senate is about to the same bill from its finance committee; two weeks of sessions were passed without action, although speaker Sam Collins said before the session started, he been under the impression the means and means committee would be the budget ready the first day so of the session. Democratic leaders have propounded ideas for public spending on a grand scale, to date their only source of revenue to meet such spending, if accepted, would be to dip into the state's $75 million rainy day fund. Committee in the two houses approved resolutions which would deal the 1949 legislature's sponsorship of world government.

The importance and responsibility of the Treasurer's office to the taxpayer is of general recognition, and in addition to the county duties, the Treasurer is called upon to collect all of the State Inheritance Taxes originating in Orange County, and also to administer the County Employees Retirement System. The judicious investment of balances in the county funds has brought a substantial profit into the county treasury to help carry the taxpayers load, "and the taxpayer is the fellow I am working for," said the County Treasurer. Mr. Gardner has lived in Santa Ana and Orange County since 1906, and his activities in business, civic and fraternal circles is a matter of favorable vornment. Your endorsement will be appreciated. AFFAIRS OF STATE by EARL G. WATERS SACRAMENTO. (WNS)—The chances are slim that the legislature will adopt the billion dollar bond proposal made by Los Angeles assemblyman Sam Yorty. This proposal is advanced on the premise that unless something of this nature is done the needed public works of this state will not be realized. Yorty suggests a business like arrangement of capital outlay projects of the state. What California has been doing in the past is operating on a pay-as-you-go basis. This is sound insofar as current operations are concerned. Governor Warren has taken a firm stand on this principle. But in all sound business operations capital expenditures are financed on an amortization basis. When the state constructs institutions or other public buildings it has made a capital investment which will serve the people for a period of years. Experience has shown public buildings are usually in use for a minimum of 50 years. Yorty proposes that in place of forcing the taxpayers to pay for But in all sound business operations capital expenditures are financed on an amortization basis. When the state constructs institutions or other public buildings it has made a capital investment which will serve the people for a period of years. Experience has shown public buildings are usually in use for a minimum of 50 years. Yorty proposes that in place of forcing the taxpayers to pay for a 50 year benefit in one year as a current expenditure the investment be amortized as a charge against the taxpayers over a period of years. His proposal offers a second advantage. That is the creation of a capital outlay fund out of which the expenditures can be geared to the economic situation of the state. When employment is low state construction can help take up the slack. This is similar to the actual public works programs carried on by both the federal and state governments during the depression years with one important difference. Under the Yorty plan the public works programs would be well planned and not hastily created solely for the purpose of creating work. At the present time the state has a long list of needed buildings. But the treasury surpluses built up during the war boom and set aside for post war construction have been used. There are practically no funds left for capital outlay. If the Yorty plan is not adopted and the state continues to finance its capital improvements on the pay-as-you-go plan the inevitable result can only be higher taxes next year. The other practical result is a building program so slow that California's needs will continue to lag far behind in the face of its continued growth in population. today by assemblyman Vincent Thomas, of San Pedro. Thomas declared that outlying districts around Los Angeles are "up in arms" about the antiquated methods of centralized city government, the parking lot monopoly and the "unfair and dictatorial practices" in vogue in that city. "We should run the third largest city in the United States," he said, as a metropolis, and not as a village of the mission days. The outlying districts receive little attention from the powers-that-be, due to their sitting in the chairs in the city hall, with a do-nothing attitude." The resolution calls for complete investigation of the borough system of government, which Thomas contends is workable with the power remaining in the borough. He declared that every effort will be made to see whether or not the legislature has power to enact legislation to achieve a borough system. Such legislation, if adopted, would also be applicable to other communities of the state provided they wished to adopt a burough system, said Thomas.
