CAMP BED FIRM TO GET CAPITAL Several leading businessmen of Anaheim have become interested in the expansion program of the Collapso Camp Bed Co., which proposes to lease two acres in the industrial tract and erect a factory. One prominent merchant has agreed to purchase stock and an Anaheim capitalist has seen the camping outfits demonstrated and is investing the company's financial status with the view of investing. The housing of the two acres and building of a factory depends upon the raising of $10,000 in addition to the $20,000 or more which the company itself has, and according to C. D. McDanaid, the laytoror and one of the three original partners, there is no doubt of the motto being proclaimed. McDonald and associates have permission to sell $30,000 worth of stock to put the enterprise on big scale production. According to Guy Curtis, salesman the last two seasons in Anaheim for the camping outfit, $4,000 worth of business was done in one season here. Harris & Rau, brokers of Long Beach, offered McDanaid $100,000 if he would put up his factory in Missouri near St. Louis, but McDonald declined, he said, because he didn't want to split the enterprise so soon. The concern moved here from Los Angeles. It has been doing business for several years, in the course of which its assets have been increased through sales alone from around $5000 to $27,900.

COURTHOUSE DOINGS Almost a dozen bids offered supervisors when the contract for a bridge over the Santa Ana river on the coast highway near Newport Beach was considered, were referred to J. L. McBride, superintendent of highways, for checking. That by S. M. Kearns of Long Beach of $31,000 was the lowest. The bids ranged to $39,000. Ruby Bledsoe, a young woman, came into the life of Mary Vestal and her husband Melvin, she alleged in a suit for divorce on file today; and her husband, she claimed, in an effort to "right" himself, pledged he henceforth would be kind to her.

Until recently the of Lower California was that of a profitable pearl industry the government derived such revenue; there was no much dent of shell fish bearing the drastic laws were passed practically prohibited thereby. This particular gem has been confiscated and sold at public auction and money placed in the treasury. Reserve "Hottenot" scatron bronze question facing Cupid and young folk alive; as they led for Los Angeles. Vote YES on Amendment Number ONE TAX MOTOR BUSSES As you do all other Public Utilities Vote YES on Amendment Number ONE TAX MOTOR BUSSES As you do all other Public Utilities Amendment Number One—on your ballot November 4th—levies a state tax of 4 per cent on the gross earnings of Motor Carriers. In addition they will continue to pay the Gasoline Tax. It is only an accident of legislation that makes this amendment necessary today. Fourteen years ago the people voted that the state should tax earnings of public utilities, leaving other property for county and municipal taxation. But the motor carriers were not in existence in 1910, and the constitutional amendment adopted then specifically enumerated only the transportation utilities then in use—steam and electric railroads—along with gas and electric companies, banks, and expense companies. When you vote for Amendment Number One in November you will not be reducing the taxes now paid by motor stages. You will include these motor carriers in the taxation plan that has been in force in California for fourteen years. Under this plan the rate of taxation paid by any utility can be increased whenever two-thirds of the Legislature find an increase warranted by the facts. The motor carriers are advocating this amendment because the uncertainty of taxation from two sources—state and local—means confusion and hinders the stabilization of their industry. Today motor stages serve 766 communities in the state that have no other common means of transportation. Like other public utilities the motor carriers are regulated by the Railroad Commission. Declaring that commercial, agricultural, industrial and social benefits have trailed the auto stage, the California Railroad Commission says in its annual report: "The wonderful growth of automotive transportation in the common carrier field entitles it to a rank among the major utilities of the state." The motor stages carried 29,000,000 passengers last year in California. And it is these 29,000,000 passengers that benefited by this use of the highways. They paid fares that are lower than rail fares. And a part of these fares went to pay the gasoline tax that the state collects from every user of the highways. When you vote YES on Amendment Number One you will bring within the taxation plan, that has been in operation for fourteen years, the common carrier that makes the highways useful to all people. MOTOR CARRIERS' ASSOCIATION THE GAVE HIS WIFE TO "OTHER MAN" THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF. CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS AND INITIATED LAWS Ballot of November, 1924 GEORGE VARNUM, of Orange County Her (3rd installment) No. $—County officers. Not an economy measure. A loosely drawn amendment purporting to provide for only an occasional contingency; But, unobtrusively, apparently hoping not to be noticed, it provides for mass increase through the whole state of the cost of county government. This is accomplished by providing for wholesale increases of both the number and salaries of the deputies and all county officials. The probable result would be that responsive to the clamor of every deputy in the state that they would all be increased during the term of office of the principal—now most wisely prohibited. Each was elected to and accepted the office, and agreed to perform its duties under the existing law. In addition a large number of additional and frequently unnecessary deputies would be appointed under the speciosa plea that a rapidly increasing growth had made an unfreeze increase in the work of the office. The "Joker" in the amendment—and a very full grown "Nigger on the wood pile it is"—consists in first using the apparently innocent words, "such additional deputies as may be necessary and proper" and then under that cover inserting the sweeping power, the open door to wholesale extravagance, contained in the clause reading— "And also provide that the compensation of such deputy or assistant be increased during the term of office of such principal." Any county officer or assistant now has the privilege of residing if not satisfied with the salary that he knowingly accepted as his compensation for performance of the duties of his office which he occupies in rates of taxation are made—of which are increases and one only, the Express company rate, being cut I-2. Twelve provisions are proposed to be repealed; these rates affect no less than 21 enumerated classes of business, and then include "All franchises" not expressly enumerated—an enormous number in the state. And yet these sponsors who write an "argument" for the guidance for the voters say that it "makes no change in the present law" except one specified. I shall in this case venture the suggestion that since the legislature can by a 2-3 vote change the rates established by this amendment, we may safely vote for it to secure the good features contained in it and may perhaps be able to trust the new assembly to scrutinize the 50 pen cent reduction to Express companies with sufficient care to assure the state of adequate revenue from them. No. 11 Klamath River Fish and Game District. This proposes to safeguard the waters of the Klamath River for the propagation and passage of fish. It seems to be opposed by advocates of private power companies who also would by control of the water control the whole mining industry, so it is charged. There is not disclosed any immediate demand for or plans for power development and in the meantime this statistic may help in preserving our rapidly diminishing supply of fish and fishing grounds. It is not locking the future forever against power or other development, as an argument against would have use believe, but only preserves for the present this one river and place in the state for the fishing waters of the people who will with the advent of roads those who escape entirely help the support of their official argument so is markedly weak and positively misleading—wives that everyone would make out an exempt davity obviously not an statement since the tax furnish positive evidence empion as to most pensions seem that $5 enough for anyone to wipe formia gives residence to bute to her schools, recovery other governmental free. No. 14—Bonds. This is an effort to add to a long list of tax bonds. It appeals for or as you believe in tax for certain investments that all property should equally in inflation for vantages derived from ment. If you want tax bonds—vote yes. If you want all bonds vote no. No. 15—Tax Exemptions.

A "Joker" jooms hee Mr. Fulwider seems to it must be used exclusive U.S. to secrete exemption not the wording of the ment. They need only to as air ports, and be "control of the U.S." The would permit their use the U.S. or private cons or both jointly and thus private air port business from taxation up to $500. No. 16—Water and Poison. This is better known vertically and debated on other proposition on the Great terms of money. C. C. RECOMMENDS OREGON RAILWAYS WASHINGTON Oct. 23. Examiners of the Interstate Committee today recommended that public convenience and necessity demand the construction of additional railroads in a region totaling approximately 72 miles and involving an estimated cost of $16,817,062. The commission was urged to authorize the construction of an extension between Bend and Lakeview, Ore., with a direct connection with the so-called Natron outfit, and a cross-state extension from the Malheur Junction-Harrison branch to a connection with the Natron outfit, either directly through Princeville to Bend, as a part of a railroad system between western Oregon and California on the west and eastern Oregon,aho and transcontinental territory on the east.

And 1,000 passengers that rose of the highways. they are lower than a part of these fares gasoline tax that the many users of the ne you will bring for fourteen years, feeble to all people. No. 19—State Taxation. We do look for "Jokers" in this bill—it is all joker but the very small portion that is expressed in the heading on the ballot. The more this is studied the worse it appears. The title is wholly misleading and the "argument" sustaining it still more so. If the statements of its sponsors are to be believed it merely relieved the co-operative county insurance companies from an unjust burden of double taxation—a meritorious purpose. But the statement of its title are so far from a resume of the purposes of the amendment and the statements of its sponsors so far from the facts that it is difficult to believe that the concealments are not delibrate. If fixes taxation rates on no less than 15 enumerated, great classes of corporations such as railroads, banks, telegraph and telephone companies and—express companies. In every instance it materially raises these tax rates except on companies doing "express business on any railroad, steamboat, vessel or stage line," and here a reduction is made of 60 per cent—a staggering reduction of one-half. Assemblymen Whitacre of San Diego and Donbos of Sonoma do not in their offfield argument disclose this—and many other facts. Both are lawyers. If the amendment had been drawn by attorneys for the big express companies it could not have been more defyable. The official "argument." printed and circulated at the expense of the state, makes the astonishing statement as its first sentence. This amendment makes no change in the present law except to provide that county cooperative insurance associations shall pay their taxes to those counties on their property instead of to the state. An examination of the proposed amendment discloses that eight THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1924 those who escape entirely at least help the support of the schools. The official argument against it is markedly weak and part of it positively misleading—where he states that everyone would have to make out an exemption affidavit obliquely not an accurate statement since the tax records furnish positive evidence of exemption as to most people. It would seem that $5 is little enough for anyone to whom California gives residence to contribute to her schools, receiving every other governmental benefit free. No. 14—Bonds. This is an effort to add another to a long list of tax exemption bonds. It appeals for or against as you believe in tax exemption for certain investments or believe that all property should share equally in taxation for the advantages derived from government. If you want tax exempt bonds—vote yes. If you want all bonds taxed—vote no. No. 15—Tax Exemption. This seems to be class legislation for the very few who might be able to rent their property to the U.S. for airports and who seem to think that because Uncle Sam is the tenant some good reason exists why the landlord should pay no taxes out of his rents. A "Joker" looms heerin also. Mr. Fulwider seems to think that it must be used exclusively by the U.S. to secure exemption; such is not the wording of the amendment. They need only to be used as air ports, and be "under the control of the U.S." This control would permit their use either by the U.S. or private corporations or both jointly and thus have the private air port business exempt from taxation up to $50,000. No. 16—Water and Power. This is better known and advertised and debated than any other proposition on the ballot. Great sums of money are being GOULD TESTIFIES HE MADE MILLIONS NEW YORK, Oct. 23—Edwin Gould, testifying today before Referee James A. Gorman in the $32,000,000 accounting action brought by Frank Gould and Anna Gould to exact a complete reckoning of Jay Gould's estate, said he made millions by manipulating the stock of the St. Louis, and Southwestern Railroad in Wall Street, but an trustee of the estate advised his brothers and sisters to allow their shares of the stock to remain dormant. The suit was brought by Frank Gould and Anna Gould, the Duchess of Talheyrand. apent on both sides to educate the electorate. Without considering the many details it is the question of private control of electrical generation or undertaking power production on a great scale by the public. If you believe in public ownership and operation—votes yes. If you believe in private development and operation—vote no. A thousand details for public speaking and writing lie in between. No. 17—Eminent Domain. A mere corrective measure to help irrigation districts. No. 18, Suffrage. Another ballot title that fails to even hint that the measure contains proposed changes other than the one referred to, permitting voting in the old prescript if one moves within 30 days of an election. Now matter in addition to above exceeding length the whole section is added. It contains provisions for absent voters coating their ballots. Better read the amendment on p. 26 rather than the argument and ballot heading on p. 21. Cordially submitted in the hope that it will result in a closer study and actual reading of every amendment—George Varnum. "Hottentot," Fri. Eve., H. S. And.
