MORAL EDUCATION IS NECESSARY FOR PROSPERITY OF U.S.
Millions of Immigrants Increase Paganism, Declares Dr. Geissinger at White Temple.
Dr. Geissinger at the Methodist White Temple last night spoke to a large audience upon the subject of a national program of religious education and used as his topic, "Shall We Make Anaheim an Experiment Station in Religious Education?"
He said from the beginning the American has been religious. Washington, in his Farewell Address, reminded his fellow citizens of the relation of religion and morality to national prosperity and also pointed out clearly that it was foolish to expect morality long to survive if religion is to be neglected.
"This has been the American feeling from the beginning," said Dr. Geissinger. "But in the last 50 years millions of immigrants have come to these shores from lands where they have been oppressed by state churches and they have come here consistently unfriendly to any form of organized religion."
Dist. Atty. Will Have Cops Inspect Trucks
Just returned from attendance on the annual meeting of California Supervisors and County Engineers, held at Visalia last week. Supervisor William Schumacher expressed himself as confident that this meeting was the best ever held within his experience. The program was instructive and helpful in every detail, he says.
Asked about the action of the A.C. of C., here last week, in furtherance of the Anaheim Chamber's plan to have the expenditures of this county's road department audited, for the information of the taxpayers, Mr. Schumacher felt sure he said, that any of the county officials were always ready to meet such a resolve, with thorough cooperation in every way. For his part, he felt that the move was one which will at least clear in the public mind the question of dollar efficiency for the tax dollar appropriated to road construction and maintenance in the several district of Orange-co.
"The proposal to put scales at proper places in the county, for weighing truck loads is not new to us," said Schumacher. "We have had the matter up and running."

"This has been the American feeling from the beginning," said Dr. Geissinger. "But in the last 50 years millions of immigrants have come to these shores from lands where they have been oppressed by state churches and they have come here conscientiously unfriendly to any from of organized religion. All educators and leaders have been alarmed about the trend of America away from its former moorings.
In the last 20 years there has been a steady increase of pagan feeling and of Godlessness. At the same time crime has increased 400 per cent. Fifteen millions of children are outside of any religious schools, Catholic, Jewish or Protestant.
Today about one half of all college students are still in schools under the patronage of the various churches but even these schools have been moving towards a more secular point of view. Meanwhile, the high schools the last ten years have increased in attendance six times as fast as the growth of the population of the country. Increasingly, the junior college is being drawn upon for help. The high school is rapidly taking on the form of a people's university.
There can be no question at all as to the character of our public schools. We have the most efficient school system in the world. But it is strictly limited by law to a certain line of work. It dare not include the religious education of the future citizenship.
Right here comes in the American problem. We must find some way to supplement the work of the public school, though that is excellent as far as it goes. This problem has been worked at for years. There have been a number of proposals made and worked out along this line! There are those who have insisted that the Bible should be read in the public schools. Well, it is now in 80 per cent of the schools in towns of 4000 population and over. In some states, like Pennsylvania and Massachusetts it is compulsory. But who thinks admirable as that practice is, that it is adequate? Others have said that the Bible is a literary classic and that it covers a wide range of history and ought to be used as a text book in schools. It is so used in many high schools at the present time. But that does not touch the religious need at all. Still, others have thought that we (Continued on Last Page)
Picked Up For Bogus Checks On Return Home
John Sharpe, charged with passing several worthless checks on Anheim and Fullerton banks, was cited for the information of the taxpayers, Mr. Schumacher felt sure he said, that any of the county officials were always ready to meet such a resolve, with thorough cooperation in every way. For his part, he felt that the move was one which will at least clear in the public mind the question of dollar efficiency for the tax dollar appropriated to road construction and maintenance in the several district of Orange-co.
"The proposal to put scales at proper places in the county, for weighing truck loads is not new to us." said Schumacher. "We have had the matter up and I believe the cost of establishing adequate scales at the right places would not exceed $5000. Meantime, we are asking the district attorney to detail a motorcycle officer to the task of inspecting loads and seeing that the law is strictly adhered to. Also, that such man be kept on the job, exclusively. I was interested in the proposition of the Auto Club of So Cal., at our meeting last week, that hereafter the load of a truck over California paved roads be kept under the maximum of 24,000 pounds, including the weight of the vehicle. One proposition of the Club, that hereafter the highways be of greater thickness and constructed with greater width, meets with my approval fully."
MOVE REFUSE FROM DOWNTOWN SECTION
Fire Chief Dean Hassen and Chairman Vic La Mont of the C. of C. Public Improvement Committee are inviting subscriptions of not more than $3 per month from business men to pay for daily removal of refuse as a fire prevention measure.

The only way to correct it is to haul such inflammable material away and burn it elsewhere, assert these men. They are meeting with the cooperation of the business men in their plan.

C. of C. Directors Agree Tentatively to Arbitration Committee on Possible Labor Disputes.

BIG OIL COMPANIES OPPOSE UTILITIES PLAN OF ASSEMBLY
Will Fight to Finish Plan Which Would Stifle Development by Barring Wild-Catting.
County Assessor James Sleeper, back today from a meeting of the legislative committee of the State Assessors Assn., at Sacramento, stated that the big oil companies are fighting the proposition to place the oil industry under the control of the state railroad commission.
"As yet there has been nothing done in the open looking to the transfer of the oil companies for taxation purposes from county assessment rolls to the state," said Sleeper.
"The oil companies maintain the move would stifle development, preventing all wildcatting, and they will fight the plan to the finish.
Release of Orange-co's oil industry to the state would mean the loss of one-third of the county's taxable property."
Sleeper says the plan originated with an association.
