AUTO TRADES ASSN. RAPS TAX ON "GAS" The Orange-co Auto Trades Assn., thru its executive committee has gone on record as opposed to a tax of one cent on each gallon of gasoline sold in this state, as is proposed in a bill by Senator E. P. Sample of San Diego. The association advised Assemblyman W. O. Hart and Senator Walter Eden of its opposition. When it became known that there was a possibility of such a bill being introduced, the state association and other organizations became active and arranged for a joint meeting of the senate and assembly review and taxations committees. The conference of automobile men with the committees was held in Sacramento Wednesday evening. It developed at the meeting that automobile interests are divided on the subject. The California Auto Trades Assn. of San Francisco, represented by William L. Hughson, opposed a tax on gasoline on the ground that autos now contribute $5,000,000 to the state's revenue and that an additional burden would be unjust. D. E. Watkins, of the California State Automobile Assn., took the position his organization would not oppose a tax of half a cent a gallon on gasoline provided the money were turned into the state to cover the deficit incurred by taking the interest burden on highway bonds from the counties. M. G. Swindell, secretary of the Los Angeles Chamber of Mines and Oils, appeared for the Associated General Petroleum, Standard, Union and Shell Oil Co.'s from which the committee of the senate asked information. When questioned about exports, he said these companies exported in 1920 197,000 barrels of gasoline, 17,-000 barrels of distillate and 5,000,-118 barrels of fuel oil. He said the importations into the U.S. of crude oil from Mexico exceeded the exports from the U.S. during the months from January to October, 1920, by more than 70,000,000 barrels. He said the state would have derived a total of $8,950,000 in 1920, from a tax of one cent on each gallon of gasoline and distillate and one cent on each barrel of fuel oil building a new graded trail in Holy Jim canyon," said Boulden, "Ranger Berg and I have just returned from a trip over the trail. It is a fine well-built graded trail, most of it not over 10 pct. It reaches 15 pct near the crest. This trail joins with the Cold Water and will be hooked on to the Modjeska trail. "When this trail is finished, the crew will start work on a grade trail to run from Yaeger's mines in the Trabuco over the ridge to Lucerne, near Elsinore. The work on that trail will not be finished this winter." ANNOUNCE SCHEDULE FOR GRAMMAR SCHOOL The schedule for basketball games of the Anaheim grammar schools were announced this morning by W. C.

The revenue would have been distributed as follows: Gasoline, $6,000,000; distillate, $2,500,000; and fuel oil, $450,000. Concerning the tax which has been proposed by Senator E.P. Sample of San Diego, Swindell said the oil companies he represented have no opposition. Water Co.

THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA URGE WOMEN TALK WITH LAWMAKERS A plan by which women's organizations in California are to let legislators know their wishes in regard to the passage of measures sponsored by the Women's Legislative council of the Federated Women's clubs of Calif. has been adopted by the council. The clubs are asked to interview legislators during the interim of the next month. An outline of the plan has been sent to heads of women's organizations by Mrs. A. J. Lawton of Santa Ana, who is now at Sacramento as chairman of the council. The council is making a fight for three bills. One of them is a new community property bill; another a measure seeking to allow needy orphans up to 16 years of age to receive state assistance; the former limit being 15 years; the third a measure giving protection to minor boys from moral offenses just as protection is now given to minor girls. The plan as proposed by Mrs. Lawton to the council and adopted is outlined in letters to women's organizations as foddows: "The council furnishes the presidents of all affiliated women's organizations in the state with copies of the bills. These are to be read to the members of said organizations at their regular meetings, discussed and acted upon. A record of such action will be kept and given to a committee in each county in the state. These committees will confer with the legislators in their respective counties, during the February vacation, in regard to the legislation the women are asking for. Give these men all the information and data required, and thus avoid the stress and anxiety of trying to do such work when the legislators are at Sacramento in session." Mrs. Lawton believes this manner of procedure will tend toward a better understanding and a better feeling between legislators and constituents. C. OF C.
