Arnold of Los Angeles Addresses Meeting of 250 Last Night Urging Orange-co. to get together in efforts to obtain new industries, R. Arnold aroused to enthusiasm an audience of 250 last evening at a dinner in St. Ann's Inn. Those present consisted principally of the secretaries and members of the industrial committees of the principal chambers affiliated with the Associated Chambers of Commerce. Secretary George W. Reid and O. H. Renner represented the local chamber. Santa Ana, Orange, Fullerton, Huntington Beach and Newport Harbor were all represented by large delegations. Introduced by Charles Bayer, also of the Los Angeles Chamber, the speaker of the evening held up the example of New England as a pioneer in industrial development. Industries follow population, he declared. New England's fine American stock with determination to win, backed by cheap water power, built up New England, in spite of the fact that it lacked raw materials and minerals. Southern California has all these necessities plus climate. It can be successful, Arnold averred, in the metal, leather, textile, steel and ceramic industries. Textile industries have a particularly promising future. The west uses 30,000,000 yards of khaki, 15,000,000 yards of denim, 20,000,000 yards of gingham and 30,000,000 yards of duck. Wool and silk industries have an equally good opportunity. Los Angeles will expend $100-000 on its industrial program. The day has gone by, said Arnold, for Southern California to use the old hurray about climate and tourist. From now on, progress must be made along lines of true economics. Industries must be developed to employ the ever increasing population. Los Angeles is willing to cooperate and to co-ordinate its efforts with surrounding towns and Orange County can ride on the common bandwagon. After Arnold's speech there was a general discussion, the various secretaries participating. Fullerton reported on its new industries, Orange told of its big copper wire plant and the cotton and hemp cordage plants started.

Staff Correspondent) LONDON, Dec. 7.—In the face of their severe defeat at the polls the Tories announced this evening that there will be a conference of conservative ministers tomorrow to consider what action should be taken by the Tory government and the party. At five o'clock, with only 47 constituencies missing, the result stood: Torries 242 seats; Laborites 177 seats; Liberals 139 seats; others ten seats. Lenders of the Labor Party claimed it would again be the official "opposition party" on the floor of the next house of commons. Premier Stanley Baldwin, Perry, was re-elected at Bewdley. Rainsey MacDonald, Laborite, and leader of the opposition in the last house of commons, was re-elected with a majority of 3,512 votes. Sir H. A. Sanders, minister of agriculture, was defeated at Bridgewater by W. E. Morse, the liberal candidate. His defeat will force the agricultural minister from the cabinet. Former Premier Lloyd George was re-elected at Carnavon, Wales. Lady Terrington, a Liberal, was elected at Wycombe, defeating two opponents. The Duchess of Athol was elected in Perthshire. Chancellor Davidson, of the Duchy of Lancaster, was defeated Entire Community Joins In Xmas Celebration At New City Park Twenty-five hundred stockings each containing toys, nuts, candy bright red apples and unlimited quantities of happiness will be presented to 2500 boys and girls from pre-school age to the sixth grade, at the lovely, big community Christmas tree entertainment Friday night, Dec. 21, beginning at 7 o'clock. This early hour is set on account of several other affairs the same evening, giving the boys and girls the chance to receive their treat and arrive at other places in plenty of time. The Paperettes meeting with Miss Margaret Harkins last evening, worked out countless details and heard most gratifying reports from the several committees. Although finances are coming along flatteringly, with the liberal donations from Anaheim banks, boards, fraternities, even individuals, there yet remains an amount to be raised that the children may remember the Christmas of 1923 in Anaheim as one of the happiest in their lives. The stockings will be filled by the willing hands of several organizations assisting the member of the Paperettes club who will devote every evening of the week prior to the big event to the pleasant task. The children of the grades are making paper chain decorations after school hours, the Domestic Science Section of Anaheim Ebell is stringing the popcorn and cranberries and the city board of trustees has assured the committee that it stands ready to provide colored lights in any desired arrangement and quantity. Gleaming from the top of the tree will be a huge star which will twinkle a hearty welcome to the boys and girls as they approach City Park, where the pretty tree will stand many feet high. Pleading to the children will be the dainty dancing number-by-the juveniles of the Georgia Moore dancing school, while the elders will heartily enjoy the community chorus and the two numbers by the Concordia men's chorus. That this, the second annual community Christmas tree will be one of the most enjoyable important events of the holiday season, is the assurance of the Pa- Los Angeles is willing to cooperate and to co-ordinate its efforts with surrounding towns and Orange County can ride on the common bandwagon. After Arnold's speech there was a general discussion, the various secretaries participating. Fullerton reported on its new industries. Orange told of its big copper wire plant and the cotton and hemp cordage plants started, and Santa Ana declared its new industries were doing well, including the new woolen mill, and that a textile mill had purchased 10 acres south of Santa Ana, paying cash, and would begin operations soon. On being questioned, Arnold discussed the matter of whether local capital should be furnished new industries. He declared that Los Angeles followed the plan of matching with cash 50-50 the cash and experience provided by an enterprise. That is, the preferred stock was taken, the concern in question buying the common. Commenting on the meeting, Renner declared that many beautiful sentiments were voiced at the meeting. The suggestion that advertising funds be pooled struck Renner particularly. Anaheim must wake up, added the local merchant. If its share of the industries obtained were proportioned to its representation at the meeting, the city's percentage would be two 250th. Reports at the meeting showed that the eyes of the world were in Southern California. LID'S ON INFORMATION Drillers on the new oil well at Cypress are having considerable annoyance with boulders, having struck four yesterday. All workers about the well have been forbidden to give out information concerning strata, sand, depth, etc., so Cypress must sit quietly by and hold her hands while the big wheels go round, hoping for the best. BUILDING PERMITS Herman Karsten, stucco residence and garage at 532 So. Ohio St., cost $3500. Roy A. Taylor, stucco residence and garage at 931 No. Zeyn-st., cost $2000. Sir H. A. Sanders, minister of agriculture, was defeated at Bridgewater by W. E. Morse, the liberal candidate. His defeat will force the agricultural minister from the cabinet. Forerer Premier Lloyd George was re-elected at Carnavon, Wales. Lady Terrington, a Liberal, was elected at Wycombe, defeating two opponents. The Duchess of Athol was elected in Perthshire. Chancellor Davidson, of the Duchy of Lancaster, was defeated by a majority of 17 votes. Frank Hodges, Labor leader was elected on the Labor ticket at Lichfield. The Countess of Warwick was defeated by the overwhelming majority of 10,040. Mrs. Thomas Winteringham was elected, assuring at least six women in the next house. The seventh woman elected was Mrs. Hilton Philipson, a Tory, who returned from Berwick-on-Tweed. She was a member of the previous parliament, having won the seat her husband had unsuccessfully sought. LONDON, Dec. 7.—With half of the returns from the British general election counted at noon today, all indications were that not one of the three political parties would have a working majority in the house of commons. Tory leaders attributed the conservatives' defeat to the woman's vote. There was talk of a Tory-Liberal coalition in commons, but Tory headquarters formally announced that such a merger of interests "would not be considered." Tory leaders said they hoped the final count of the returns would give the conservatives sufficient strength to remain in power even if they were not able to put thru Premier Baldwin's protective tariff measure in the house. Tory headquarters suggested a liberal-labor coalition, evidently hoping that such a move might precipitate another general election within three months when the conservatives would have another opportunity upon the field of ballots. With only a part of the returns in the canvass showed that the Tories had suffered a net loss of 39 seats, while the liberals gained 17 and the Laborites gained 22.

Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Mellon declared today in his annual report to congress. He coupled with his comparative review of business conditions a vigorous plea that congress act at once to decrease the heavy tax burden along lines he already has indicated, and this, he said, would further aid the return of American business to normal, prosperous conditions. “High taxation, even if levied on an economic basis, affects the prosperity of the country because in its ultimate analysis, the burden of all taxes rests only in part upon the individual or property taxes,” said Mellon. “The question of reduction of taxation is one which should have the serious consideration of congress.

The question of reduction of taxation is one which should have the serious consideration of congress. Before the period of the war taxes as high as those now in effect would have been thought fantastic and impossible of payment. Upon the restoration of peace and the gradual removal of war time conditions of business, the opportunity is presented to congress to make the tax structure of the United States conform more closely to normal conditions. "Everywhere there is prosperity in American industry and prospects for an even further substantial revival of business in 1924 are particularly bright" Mellon said. Even in agriculture, hardest hit by the depression, "all signs go to show that agriculture is regaining its position." Out of the alarming conditions that followed in the wake of the war "this country in the last two years, has made a remarkable recovery,' and one which should inspire confidence for the future," the report added.

Recovery from the deplorable conditions of transportation for fruit and farm products of last year was announced by several speakers as the result of a meeting with the railway officials of the different lines and it was stated that with the exception of a few delays, which seemed unnecessary on the lines east of Chicago, the service given the fruit men and the farm products shippers was excellent. Frank Spinning, supervisor of transportation department of the state of Washington, and a personal representative of Governor Hart, was one of the most ardent admirers of the western railway's work. Mr. Spinning had received special written opinions of the various shipping firms in Washington all of which endorsed the work of the transportation companies during the past season as approaching perfection. "I am told," said Mr. Spinning, "that the politicians of this state are getting very leary of the farmers vote." "They ought to be and if the farmers want me nwho will represent them all the time they should elect men who have been farmers themselves. Such men alone can realize what the farmers are up against and what burdens they have to bear. Mr. Spinning strongly urged cooperation among the Pacific coast states in obtaining legislation needed in the East and in influencing the railroads to the Atlantic coast to give adequate service. C. E. Virden, president of the Virden Packing company, San Francisco, threw another large bouquet at the railcads. "We wanted a dependable transcontinental schedule," said Mr. Virden, "and the roads have given it to us. The only trouble during the last year has been slight." U. S.

C. E. Virden, president of the Virden Packing company, threw another large bouquet at the railroads. "We wanted a dependable transcontinental schedule," said Mr. Virden, "and the roads have given it to us. The only trouble during the last year has been slight delays in the east. The western roads have come up to the scratch and given us what we asked. "There have been fewer delays, little car shortage and fewer embargoes this year and we appreciate the action of the western roads. Of course there were some instances of shippers not getting the full number of cars ordered but this was due to the habit of ordering far more than were needed." B. F. McKibben, traffic manager of the Poultry Producers of California, joined in the chorus of praise for the western railways but he added that the poultry men were less dependent on the roads than the fruit men.
