DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS And Justice, while she winks at Justice. Stumbles on innocence sometimes. —Butler. An stormy petrel, Lord Northcliffe fills the role well. Overreating is a deadly form of imtemperance. Blessings oftentimes come in the guise of misfortunes. The geography of Europe is a bit tiper yet. Perhaps the people of Illinois will select their governor with more care. One of the terrors and hardships of modern warfare is the making of peace. An effectual plan to disarm moquitos would be hailed with delight by summer campers. The accused in the Kennedy murder mystery, in Los Angeles, are being tried in the sensational press before the courts get a chance at them. Trying of criminals is not proper province of a newspaper. Would not Uncle Sam be the popular one, should he exempt everybody from taxation in any form? But the grand old uncle, big of heart though he is no magician. Taxes he must levy and the people must pay them, however much they may grimace. THE KAISER'S FORTUNE The German Socialists have dug up some facts about the late kaiser's personal fortune which have not increased the royal runaway's popularity among his hardup fellow countrymen. He is worth upwards of $12,000, 000 and less than one-tenth of it is invested in German war bonds. During the war the kaiser spent most of his time "encouraging" his subjects to buy bonds. But he was entirely too thrifty to buy many of them himself. A large part of his fortune, which character of their use. Should the man who operates a cheap car which is hardly heavier than a farm wagon pay as much in the form of a tax as is charged against the five-ton truck, or the $10,000 limousine? Is such a tax equal? It is not. Does it bear equally upon the taxpayer in proportion to his ability to pay? It does not. Does it represent the just contribution of the parties in accordance with their benefits from the things the government has done for them? It does not. The cheap, light car uses up to the road to only a fraction of the extent to which it is worn and injured by the big, or even the light truck or the heavy limousine or touring car. Is the flat tax easier of collection? It is not. The experience of California, for instance, which collects taxes on cars in accordance with their cost, shows that the graduated tax is not harder to collect. The most charitable interpretation of the action of the secretary in this matter is that he has taken a running jump at the matter and let it go at that. That is not complimentary to him. It is not intended to be. But it is much kinder than other things which might with some justification be said. PARKS ON HIGHWAY; WOMAN FINED $50 Charged with stopping her car on the highway to make repairs, Mrs. Elsa G. Bauer, who gave her address as Tampico, Mexico, yesterday appeared before Justice of the Peace Cox and paid a fine of $10. She pleaded guilty but declared that she could not drive off the highway at the point where she was arrested because of a ditch running parallel with the road. Mrs. Bauer was arrested last week near Orange by Traffic Officer Veron Myers. She said she was changing a tire and that she thot the officer was stopping to help her, but he arrested her instead. Mrs. Bauer declared that the two right wheels I had a flat tire so was not any wild way where I stopped." Mrs. Bauer gave check on a San Diego she hated to parry because she could do $10, the amount to asked Mrs. Bauer ward the door. "We do when we over 50 miles an hour. Mrs. Bauer was woman friend. Judge Cox was not ported in motor chic. The Rev. Fred also paid u $10 for the highway. A Los Angeles Sheriff C. E.

The German Socialists have dug up some facts about the late Kaiser's personal fortune which have not increased the royal runaway's popularity among his hardup fellow countrymen. He is worth upwards of $12,000,000 and less than one-tenth of it is invested in German war bonds. During the war the kaiser spent most of his time "encouraging" his subjects to buy bonds. But he was entirely too thrifty to buy many of them himself. A large part of his fortune, which is said to yield him an income of nearly a million a year, was made playing the stock exchange. Of course, he didn't play the game fairly but took advantage of his powerful position to boost or upset the market and then "bought" or "sold" accordingly. He also exchanged "honors"—crosses and such like — for tips on the market. What a creature to have exercised autocratic power over 60,000,000 people for a quarter of a century. And what a reflection upon the intelligence of the 60,000,000 that they not only stood for it but liked it! MAKE TAXES EQUITABLE IN PRINCIPLE. In principle, it is right and equitable to put the burden of federal taxation upon those persons and interests that are best able to bear them. This involves a distribution of the cost of government in fair ratio among those who benefit from living and earning in this country—the more individual or the corporation earns, the more proportionately, should be paid in taxes. But even though those best able, financially, to bear the heaviest burdens of taxation are weighted most with taxes, yet there should be reason and justice in this. These taxes should not have even the appearance of being levied as a punishment for a deterrent of business or industrial skill, genius or enterprise. No legitimate interest should be overtaxed, even though it be an immense interest. Taxes should be equitable for all. FEDERAL TAX ON AUTOS Owners of automobiles in Anaheim should be somewhat interested in the fact that See. Mellon, with the support of Pres. Harding, has proposed a federal tax on motor cars, which has a very good chance to be enacted into law. It is a flat tax of $10 a car on every sort of car. See. Mellon is said to have argued before the house ways and means committee that a tax on cars is justified because of the fact that the federal government is spending a hundred millions a year on good roads. Off course, other vehicles use the roads too. Of course, the land abutting on the improved roads and within the scope of its influence is raised in value, too, but let that pass. Let it pass while we ask ourselves just Elsa G. Bauer, who gave her address as Tampico, Mexico, yesterday appeared before Justice of the Peace Cox and paid a fine of $10. She pleaded guilty but declared that she could not drive off the highway at the point where she was arrested because of a ditch running parallel with the road. Mrs. Bauer was arrested last week near Orange by Traffic Officer Vernon Myers. She said she was changing a tire and that she that the officer was stopping to help her, but he arrested her instead. Mrs. Bauer declared that the two right wheels of her machine were off the highway. "Mexico is a good place to get away from once-in-a-wile," said Mrs. Bauer. "but they're not so strict down there about traffic laws and all that sort of thing. Why the cops down there bawl you out if you don't drive fast and it doesn't make any difference which side of the street you drive on either." Mrs. Bauer admitted that she did not know there was a law prohibiting the parking of an auto on highways for repairs. "There are so many new laws in this country a fellow cannot keep abreast of them," she told Judge Cox. The judge then read the "riot act" and asked her if she would ever forget it. She answered that she would not. "Well, what do you think of it?" asked Judge Cox. "Oh, I suppose it's all right, but I don't see how you expect a motorist to drive off the highway when there is a deep ditch at the very edge of it.

Mrs. Bauer gave Judge Cox a check on a San Diego bank. She said she hated to part with the money because she could buy a new hat for $10, the amount of the fine. "Do you serve lunch here, judge?" asked Mrs. Bauer as she started toward the door. "We do when we catch 'em going over 50 miles an hour," said Cox. Mrs. Bauer was accompanied by a woman friend. Both agreed that Judge Cox was not as vicious as reported in motor circles. The Rev. Fred Pitt of Los Angeles also paid a $10 fine for parking on the highway. A Los Angeles motorist who sent Sheriff C. E. Jackson a written report of an accident which occurred last Sunday near Tustin concluded with the statement that he was surprised to see such reckless driving in Orange co. ANOTHER INSPECTOR NOT SOUGHT NOW That an added inspector for Orange-co dairies at this time would mean an extravagant overlapping of duties, is the opinion of the directors of the dairy department of the Orange County Farm bureau. At the present time Los Angeles city has two inspectors in the field who cover two-thirds of the dairies in Orange-co, which dairies supply Los Angeles with milk. The other third which supply the local trade and creameries are amply inspected by state men who get around about twice a year. Besides the inspectors, who report on the grading of milk, and the general sanitary condition of the dairies, the Farm Bureau maintains a milk tester who operates in most of the large dairies of the county. It has been suggested that the various inspectors could be consolidated into one office in order to do away with unnecessary overlapping of city, county and state inspectors. This would be the recommendation of the dairy department to the county board of supervisors. That the sum of $3000 should be saved to the county during this period of retrenchment and an effort made by the supervisors. CAMPERS WARNED BY FOREST RANGER Because of the extreme dryness of brush and trees at this season of the year, Forest Ranger E. W. Searcy, of the Trabuco division of the Cleveland National forest is taking every precaution to guard against fires in Trabuco canyon and other areas under his jurisdiction. Campers should be particularly careful during the next six weeks," said Searcy today. "They should see that camp fires are extinguished before they are deserted. Smouldering embers should not be left behind. Some of our worst fires have started from smouldering camp fires." Searcy said that there is one look-out and four deputies guarding against fires in the Santa Ana mountains. They cover the entire district frequently. Searcy said that one arrest had been made this month. That occurred on August 14 when he arrested W. S. Wemple of Santa Monica, who left his camp fire burning. He was bribed before Justice Cox, pleaded guilty and paid a fine of $50. According to Searcy the forest rangers are concerned principally with those not accounted to camping out. Despite warnings they build camp fires and then leave them burning. Others think they have extinguished their fires when they have not. A disastrous fire has not occurred in the local mountains for some time and every effort is being made by the forest officials to keep the record clean.
