RESULTS OF CIRCULATION AUDIT (Continued From Page One) a strictly impartial way. Nothing short of the whole truth will be tolerated. You are to satisfy yourself in such a way that, if you are called upon to go before a Notary Public and make affidavit to the truthfulness of your findings, you could do so without perjury. It unable to find parties in question at home, call back until you secure report. You as auditor must refrain from comment on merits of any paper. Your personal likes and dislikes relative to any paper must not be imposed upon those whom you visit. Remember you have nothing to sell and you are impartial. Strictly adhere to this method of gaining report as follows: 1st—Stay within your own section of the city or county that will be assigned you. 2nd—Call upon every house (ranking sure not to miss any house built on the back of lot). Take known your business that you are auditing newspaper circulation in the interest of Anaheim Morehants. 3rd—By direct question ask "what daily paper do you receive if any?" Note here the name of the paper. Next question "are you a paid subscriber of that paper." Note "yes" or no." You then have your information. Special note: Some subscriber may be a little at loss to know just whether or not they are to be considered paid subscriber or not, in as much as they are in arrear with payment of the subscription price. In such cases determine if they have been paid subscribers in the past and if they have intentions of continuing as a subscriber. If they thus consider themselves a subscriber desiring to be considered a paid subscriber mark them a paid subscriber. Only be sure the paper is not free distribution. It must be ordered and wanted. Also note you are not to take a subscription if offered any for either of the periodicals, nor accept stops. YOU ARE NOT EMPOYED BY A NEWSPAPER and see that you give no one that impression. REASON FOR THE AUDIT The audit resulted when The Plain Dealer "called" the Bulletin after repeated unqualified circulation claims which ranged as high as 6000 and "guarantee of largest circulation in No. Orange-co." The Plain Dealer made the following propositions to The Bulletin: 1—There be conducted a thoro and unbiased canvass of the Anaheim newspaper field with respect to paid circulation: 2—That this canvass be conducted in any way to be determined by the largest Anaheim newspaper advertisers. 3—That to cover the expense of this very complete check and canvass, each newspaper deposit with the six advertisers a certified check for $600. 4—That the newspaper found to have misrepresented its paid circulation shall forfeit its check; that the newspaper found to have been honest in its paid circulation claims will be returned its check with a report from the merchants on just what they find to be the situation. 5—That the canvass shall start not later than Monday, Feb. 11, since any newspaper which has been honest in its paid circulation claims is always prepared for and courts such investigations. When the Bulletin declined to submit to such an audit and put up its check, The Plain Dealer told Anaheim's leading advertisers to take its check and proceed with the audit of circulations. The above report is the result.

PLAN TO DISMISS OUTFALL BUILDER It was decided at a special meeting of Sana Ana city council last night to call a meeting next Monday of the councils of the cities building the joint outfall sewer when action will probably be taken dismissing Contractor deWaard from the ocean end of the outfall. This was the recommendation last night of Atty. Clyde Bishop and City Eng. W. G. Knox of Santa Ana. The council rejected two of the three proposals made by deWaard considering only his proposition for a cash settlement for work done and the rental of his equipment at $150 per month for Santa Ana to complete the job itself. Knox stated only about 200 of the 800 feet of the pipe to be laid in the ocean remained to be placed. Bishop pointed out that Santa Ana had ready to hook onto the outfall sewer for three months and Anaheim was also ready now. A Garden Grove delegation last night attended the Santa Ana council meeting asking data on portion of cost assigned to the Garden Grove sanitary district just form. This information is necessary before Garden Grove can call a bond election. LOWER TAXES FOR LARGE CONCERNS WASHINGTON, March 20.—Testimony that the federal tax assessed against large corporations by the treasury department had been reduced thru efforts of "tax-payers" who were formerly employed in the bureau of internal revenue, was placed before a special senate investigating committee this afternoon. E. V Rossmoore, former bureau employee, said thru his efforts a tax of $23,000,000 against the Standard Oil Co. had been reduced tentatively to $5,000,000. Nearly half of the 796 employees of the internal revenue bureau who have been discharged during the past three years for dishonesty were connected with the prohibition enforcement service, Charles R. Nash, assistant commissioner of internal revenue, testified this afternoon before a special senate investigating committee. Nash testified some cases had been prosecuted but said that of the total of 796 discharged employees, 597 had their cases pending. Letters from People "WHY HIGHER SALARIES FOR POSTAL WORKERS?" The Plain Dealer:—Probably few people are aware that the postal employees are the poorest paid servants of our government, but such is the case. When a man is appointed clerk or carrier he receives less than $4 per day out of which he must clothe and feed himself and keep his family for the first year, when, if he doesn't receive too many demerits, Uncle Sam becomes real generous and raises his wages to the magnificent sum of a trifle over $4 per day and so on each year until he reaches the fabulous sum of $4.93 providing he hasn't starved to death or become discouraged and quit. It is reported that only recently 30 employees of the Los Angeles post office quit in a body and the big problem especially in the large cities is to get and keep efficient men. In Los Angeles a large percent of those who take the examinations are negroes and men of very inferior mentality. The large industries of the country have learned that the way to get efficient service from their employees is to make them contented by giving them a decent wage and an opportunity for advancement, both of which are denied the postal worker. Whereas our government should take the lead in this matter, it is far behind the big corporations. Uncle Sam says a man must be of good moral character, recommended by well known men of the community in which he lives, be of sound mind and body and pass a rigid mental examination before he will be accepted in the postal service and then he is allowed to draw a little less than $4 per day. Do you wonder that the high standard of efficiency that used to be characteristic of the mail service is being lowered at a very rapid rate! If the service is brought back to its prewar efficiency the men in it must be paid a living wage either by a radical increase in their wages or by just as radical a decrease in the cost of living. As there seems to be absolutely no hope of the latter, the postal workers are asking the public to assist them to obtain the higher wages, which can only be brought about thru an act of congress. In order that such legislation be enacted it is necessary that congressmen and the president know that the people demand it. That is why you are being asked to write letters to the president and to those congressmen who MOVIE AND OPERA STARS WILL APPEAR FOR VETS (Continued From Page One) which a local doctor has removed four pieces of shrapnel from his right leg and changed an open wound four or five inches square from the ankle to a condition which indicates complete healing within a few weeks. Fields came home from France with a large silver plate in his right stapel, and other silver plate in his left jaw, roof of mouth including palate, and left leg, besides a silver wire in his right hand by means of which he manipulates his index finger. He can play almost as well as ever, and will have practically all his old powers of performance when his right leg heals. He will sail on Sept. 15 for England where he will receive an estate of $147,000 from an uncle, the late Robert Calvip Fields, who was knighted by Queen Victoria for installing a water system in Ireland, the first general system the island had, which supplies nearly all the large cities. He will receive also the title, Knight of the Garter, which his uncle had and which carries an annual payment of 3,000 pounds sterling. From tso present Queen at Buckingham Palace. Fields was born in Dundee, Scotland, educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and at Strasseburg University, Germany, and with froeign masters. He has played in Europe an America for 12 years, and soon will become organist of a Long Beach theater. His rister, Mrs. Z. B. Von Waggoner, is state supervisor of music of the Illinois public schools. In spite of his busy life, Fields has had time to join the Missonic order and engage in many social activities. He came to San Francisco about 20 years ago and enlisted from there, but was transferred to the Chicago Base Hospital unit, of which he was dietician at the hospital in Nancy. He had 56 pieces of shrapnel in his body when picked up, besides being maligned by the enemy. There were $5 wounds in his left leg alone, now completely healed. He came here to be treated at the Clinic, of which he had heard, and has been stopping at the home of Mrs. Louise Oelke of 511 North Philadelphia-st, chaplain of the Woman's Relief Corps and members of the Legion Auiliary. There he also has his studio. The coming performance here will be sponsored by Mrs. Adda A. Lawyer, millionaire of Solon, Ia. Nearly half of the 796 employees of the internal revenue bureau who have been discharged during the past three years for dishonesty were connected with the prohibition enforcement service, Charles R. Nash, assistant commissioner of internal revenue, testified this afternoon before a special senate investigating committee. Nash testified some cases had been prosecuted but said that of the total of 796 discharged employees, 597 had their cases pending. "Federal courts all over the country," he said, "have long dockers of these cases." "How many cases were in the prohibition unit?" asked Senator Watson, Republican of Indiana, the chairman. "About 310," Nash replied. He was dismissed and E. H. Baton, Washington lawyer, who was called on one of the subpeeases issued by Senator Couzens, "prosecutor" for the committee, took the stand. Baton said he was employed in the revenue bureau from February 1918, until January 15, 1923, when he resigned. He held many positions, including that of assistant deputy commissoner. As a lawyer, Baton now had "about 50" cases before the bureau for adjustment. Baton, replying to Couzens, denied that any of his clients had come to him while he was an employee of the bureau. Watson suggested that the first move to heighten efficiency in the bureau would be to concentrate the now widely separated agencies of the bureau and raise the salaries of some officials. "Is it necessary?" asked Senator Adama, Dem. of Colo., "to have some special 'push' to get cases ahead!" "No," Batson replied, "by means of an inventory they keep pretty well up on things." "Then why do so many persons get tax lawyers?" Senator Couzens asked. "For the reason that a man gets a doctor when he's sick." "The taxpayers are sick," Couzens observed. In order that such legislation be enacted it is necessary that congressmen and the president know that the people demand it. That is why you are being asked to write letters to the president and to those congressmen who have not definitely stated they favor such legislation. It is estimated that about 5000 letters of that nature are being sent daily from Los Angeles. Probably Anaheim people have sent 150 or 200 such letters. Every man and woman in Anaheim should immediately write to one or all of the following persons urging their support of House Bill number 4123; Pres. Calvin C. Coolidge, Hon. Phil D. Swing, Senator Thos. Sterling, Hon. Wm. W. Griest, Hon. Martin B. Madden, Washington, D.C. A READER. CONFESSES MURDER PORTLAND, Ore., March 20—Nick Yarnevich, who admits killing Vinco Stritchke March 5, 1916 in Kansas City, started back today in custody of Captain Ulysses G. Snyder of Kansas City police to be tried for murder. Yarnevich voluntarily walked into police headquarters here March 11 and confessed the crime which he said was done in a spirit of revenge for a "beating" Strichko gave him in a fist fight. White Sox Manager Goes Under Knife CHICAGO, March 20—Charles A. Comiskey, 65, owner of the Chicago White Sox, was reported resting comfortably at 10:30 today following an operation for gall stones earlier in the day. "Weil, they don't thorely understand the tax laws." Nash was recalled for a few minutes and said a constant reorganization within the tax unit had resulted in 2,000 employees being eliminated last year. POLITICIANS RECEIVE JOLTS FROM ELECTIONS (Continued From Page One) were jubilant today, and under the impetus of the Georgia victory, they are preparing to promote with renewed vigor the campaign that lagged a bit after McAdoo testified before the oil investigating committee here. The Underwood managers, while somewhat subdued, are nevertheless going ahead still confident in their belief that McAdoo cannot be nominated at New York because of the two thirds rule. They conceded that McAdoo may even approach a majority in the early balloting but that is all. BLIZZARD SWEEPS MID-WEST STATES ST. LOUIS, March 20—Eastern Kansas, Missourol, Southern and Central Illinois and Eastern Indiana today were in the grip of a blinding snow storm which swept in from the southwest this morning and which, according to the weather bureau here, carried a threat of sleet that may once more play havoc with the telegraph and telephone communication in the mid-west.
