COOLIDGE FOR REDUCED TAXES (Continued from page one) brief and to the point. He gave his endorsement to America's entering the world court, provided such reservations are attached as will make it clear we shall not become involved with the league of nations. The league, he said, is a dead issue so far as the United States is concerned. "Our country has definitely refused to adopt and ratify the covenant of the league of nations," he asserted. "I am not proposing any change in this policy; neither is the senate. The incident, so far as we are concerned, is closed." He announced his opposition to any cancellation of war debts, declared Russia should not be recognized until she acknowledged her just debts and ceased propagandizing against the institutions of other countries, and finished off his dealing with foreign matters with the simple declaration that America wants and is willing to help other nations, but can best serve the world and herself by remaining free, independent and powerful. Regarding the railroad problem and transportation in general, the president made three specific recommendations: 1. That congress act at once to compel a revision of freight rates. 2. That additional legislation be enacted to permit the railroads to consolidate voluntarily into regional systems, which he held to be the final remedy for the transportation industry. 3. That the railway labor board, which the late President Harding recommended be abolished, be left alone until some better method is devised for adjusting disputes between the roads and their employees. Concerning his many other policies touching domestic matters, Mr. Coolidge was brief and general. He said there should be no linking with the tariff act; he advised that the government sell FORCES AMERICAN TO TAKE DOWN FLAG VICTORIA, B.C. Dec. 6—Major R. D. Burge, personally forced Cornellius Vanderbilt, Jr., millionaire newspaperman, to haul down the American flag from his island home on Sprout Lake, Vancouver Island, he told the British Columbia legislature yesterday in advocating greater cultivation of Canadian national sentiment in British Columbia schools. Major Burge said the Americans at Alberni, near Vanderbilt's island home, had refused to send their children to school unless the Canadian flag was removed from the school house. He declared this to be an importinance since the same Americans were "exploiting Canadian forests." LOCAL MUSICIANS ON TIMES RADIO Anaheim radio fans were enthusiastic over the Times Radio program Tuesday between 2:30 and 3:30 which included Mrs. Ray Fisher and Miss Geraldine Dolan. Mrs. Fisher has a rich soprano voice. Many Anaheim fans stated this morning that it was one of the most delightful programs ever rendered by The Times and that each number was heard plainly. The Times sends out some wonderful programs. This is due probably to the fact that the entertainers have to rehearse their parts before they can go into the broadcast room. Mrs. Fisher very charmingly "Ana- Shadows." Will Le Donne," "For You" and "Smilin' Through." Miss Dolan accompanied her with these numbers. She also played very beautifully, "The Scarf Dance." "O Solo Mio." and "Gondola Song." Mrs. Fisher has sung before many organizations in the city and her numbers are always greatly appreciated. A delightful feature concerning the concert is the fact that Mr. and Mrs. I. M. Beardlee, parents of Mrs. W. A. Dolan, heard the concert at Chicago. They re- BUSY SESSION OF C. OF C.

That the railway labor board, which the late President Harding recommended be abolished, be left alone until some better method is devised for adjusting disputes between the roads and their employees. Concerning his many other policies touching domestic matters, Mr. Coolidge was brief and general. He said there should be no tinkering with the tariff act; he advised that the government sell its remaining merchant ships and get out of the shipping business quickly as possible; he discussed the prohibition question in a hundred words by saying the coast guard should be strengthened to prevent smuggling and that all citizens should obey the dry laws; he recommended continuance of the present restricted immigration and urged the need of registering all aliens; he declared the government should extend every possible aid to the farmer in the way of credit and protection and then leave him to work out his own salvation; he proposed that Muscle Shoals be sold to the highest bidder; and in stating that he was opposed to government ownership of coal mines, he declared congress should clothe the president with power to take emergency action in coal strikes. Then concerning the railroads: "The labor board... has been a great help, but it is not altogether satisfactory to the public, the employees or to the companies. If substantial agreement can be reached among the groups interested there should be no hesitation in enacting such agreement into law. If it is not reached, the labor board may very well be left for the present to protect the public welfare. "Consolidation appears to be the only feasible method for the maintenance of an adequate system of transportation with an opportunity so as to adjust freight so as to meet such temporary conditions as now prevail in some agricultural sections." "Additional legislation is needed giving authority for voluntary consolidations. Should this pervasive consolidation prove ineffective after a limited period, the authority of the government will have to be directly invoked." "Competent authorities agree that an entire reorganization of the rate structure for freights is necessary. This should be ordered at once by congress." These were the principal recommendations the new president had for the new congress—now getting under way in the face of an approaching presidential campaign in a state of turbulence, confusion and threatened disorganization. It was a Republican congress that Mr. Coolidge appealed to to into regional systems, which he held to be the final remedy for the transportation industry. 3.

These were the principal recommendations the new president had for the new congress—now getting under way in the face of an approaching presidential campaign in a state of turbulence, confusion and threatened disorganization. It was a Republican congress that Mr. Coolidge appealed to today, but Republican in name only. The same little group of western insurgents that blocked organization at the opening can, because of the closeness in numbers between Republicans and Democrats, make or break the Coolidge program. That the president's views as outlined today constitute the Coolidge platform for 1924, there can be little doubt. They were so interpreted by politicians of every shade of opinion in the capital and no time was lost in placing his recommendations under the political microscope of a dozen potential candidates for the presidency. Mr. Coolidge's message was unique among presidential papers because of its terseness, its bluntness and its general crispness. His sentences were short and clear; his paragraphs likewise. He did not go into a detailed discussion of any issue, but contented himself with giving congress and one country his ideas in words of one syllable and sentences of ten wards. He divided his message into sections on the different types and no session contained more than five hundred wards. His opposition to a soldier's bonus was stated in ten wards. After declaring everything possible should be done for the disabled veterans, Mr. Coolidge simply said: "But I do not favor the granting of a bonus." In every particular, the new president in his first state paper of importance, lived up to his reputation for brevity, terseness and lack of loquacity, which drew for him as vice president the pop- Buy In Anaheim MARBIAGE LICENSES Leon Santorzo, 21, and Rafael Alamnai, 18, Anaheim; Ray Walter Sherman, 31, and Jane Cullen, 21, Fullerton; John Rubon Doerr, 64, and Lottie A.

Arrangements were made to send a band of automobiles to Camp Kearny Dec. 16, carrying baskets of holiday cheer to the boys. Last night's meeting also marked the close of the member-hip campaign which has been in progress some time, and is said to have been most successful. It resulted in the enrollment of 42 ex-service men, bringing the total membership up to 296, and placing Anaheim among the foremost of the county, it is said. The first prize for the largest membership obtained was taken by Arthur A. Cohen, the second prize by Jack Hebson, and the third prize by W. C. Carl. Nominations from which officers are to be chosen at the next meeting were made as follows: Commander, H. C. Wilhelm, and M. W. Martenett; first vice commander, Arthur A.

SPEND $3000 ON WATER SPREADING Expenditure of $3000 for water spreading during the year beginning Oct. 1 last is planned by the Water Conservation Ass'n., which comprises leading water associations of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, according to a report received here by the Anaheim Union Water Co. The Santa Ana River Development Ass'n., which represents Anaheim and Santa Ana's interest in the tri-county organization, is a leading member, paying approximately one-third of the total cost of spreading operations. The total budget, which amounts to $15,000, includes also an item of $7,177.50 for construction work on boulder dams. While the expenditure for construction the past year was somewhat larger than this, the amount used for water spreading was much less, largely because the rainfall was light and there wasn't the water to spread. Statistics, however, show that spreading and not rainfall in itself is what raises the level of wells. While the ass'n has been spreading water for the past 14 years, only recently wells near the division box of the Santa Ana River Development Co., between here and Colton which had not flowed for 10 years did so. During the past year the Water Conservation Ass'n., completed more than two miles of boulder contour dam, of which 7,805 feet were built by steam shovel. The water spread amounted to only 458,659.20 meter inches or 18,346.28 meter feet, only a fourth or fifth of that spread the previous season when more than twice as much rain fell. During the peak of the floods no attempt is made to turn the water out and spread it, because it is too difficult to control and carries sediment which fills up the interstices in the sand, injuring the wash area where spreading is done. The water elevation in two wells in the San Bernardino artesian basin was nine feet higher FIVE U. S.

Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 — The largest number of bills ever introduced at the opening session of a new congress, jammed the legislative hoppers of the senate and house today. More than 1,000 bills and resolutions were in the two houses and practically half that number were introduced by senators seeking changes and revisions in national legislation. Senator King, Democrat of Utah, carried off the palm for the largest number introduced by an individual members of Congress, and many of his measures dealt with outstanding problems of foreign relations. The first bill in the house was the Dyer anti-lynching bill; in the senate a bill by Senator Underwood, Democrat of Alabama, relating to claims against the government. King re-introduced his resolution providing for American adhesion to the permanent court of international justice, precisely on the plan outlined by the late president Harding. It provided for acceptance of the four reservations suggested by Secretary Hughes. King said he would demand immediate consideration. The resolution was referred to the foreign relations committee. Another resolution by King provided for the appointment of a committee of five senators to investigate "bucket shop" operations. King charged price manipulation of stock, commodity and brokerage exchange,"resulting in grave and serious injury to investors." The special committee was authorized to investigate all phases of stock exchange operations and "inquire" into the charger. —Buy In Anaheim— CALIF. HOTEL. FULLERTON ATTEMPTS ALIBI IN WIFE'S DEATH LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6 — Details of his movements and whereabouts during the year to prove he could not have been responsible for the murder of his wife, were given investigators here today by Elgin Pittman, held in the county jail charged with having murdered his wife, whose body was found floating in the Columbia river near Wallula, Wash., last June. At the same time, Mrs. Edna Rogers Pittman, who contends she is the wife of Pittman, and apparently the woman believed to have been found dead, endeavored to reach her parents at Richland, Ore., by telephone and telegraph in order to prove her identity. Officers working on the case declare the woman found dead in the Columbia river and buried at Mrs. Pittman, was 25 years old, and was identified by her parents by dental work. The woman here who claims to be Mrs. Pittman, holding her seven months old baby in her arms, told authorities she is only 19 years old and has no evidence whatever of dental work. In telling of his whereabouts during the past year, Pittman said he was in Pendleton, Ore., Thanksgiving Day a year ago and later visited Namba, Ore., and Byler, Idaho. Pittman was arrested here in an auto camp at the request of Washington authorities and officers centered their efforts today on trying to determine whether the woman found with him is the woman reported missing from Eagle Valley, Ore.
