Inquire of ORJ.GJ'GEE Real Estate and Insurance 183 Pae. Ave. Phone 139 "A thousand General Dawes working on a national budget will "not be able to erect a superstructure satisfactory enough to counteract the evil influence of our bureaucratic system of government, coupled with the tri bute paid to militarism," according to John O. Davis, former collector of the port at San Francisco, who discussed taxation last evening at the high school auditorium under the auspices of the forum committee of the chamber of commerce. As often happens when a subject of vital interest to the taxpayer and community was up for discussion in Santa Cruz, a very small attendance greeted the speakers.

However, the gathering was most representative, and made up in enthusiasm what was lacking in numbers. Mr. Davis was introduced by Wm. T. Jeter, following the program which consisted of a piano solo, Mrs.

Milo Cain; John Squires and vocal solo, Lowell Rountree. Militarism and the bureau system were attacked by the speaker of the evening as the direct cause of 95 per cent of our taxes. This constant drain on the pocketbooks of the nation for the purpose of war preparation and unnecessary governmental decentralization, was condemned in no uncertain manner. It invited suspicion from the nations of the world and was a constant menace to the peace of the world. He urged that the nation as a whole get behind President Harding in his world peace plans without regard for politics.

This remark characterized the non-partizan character of the discussion, the speaker having referred to the fact that he was a democrat, his father had been one, and his grandfather one before him. Outstanding points of the lecture follow: Cost of government a'ffects every business and every life in every locality. If brains will not attend to public matters, the brainless will. Whatever taxrate you permit to be fixed you must pay. The consumer always pays.

This taxrate of California is $200,000,000 of this is going to the federal government. Our present national bureaucratic system is inviting the world to ruin. It requires 11 separate departments to operate the boats in San Francisco harbor. The department of co-ordination for the disposal of government property consists of $4. worth of co-ordination to each 25c worth of gov ernment property disposed of.

Bureau government is irresponsible. The speaker referred to a letter he had written to the navy department seeking to secure the aid of that department in curbing smuggling in San Francisco bay during the period in which Mr. Davis was collector of the port. Mr. Roosevelt said that he saw no objection to the use of several navy destroyers for this purpose, but the matter would have to be referred to the treasury department.

This was Bix years ago and no action has been taken in the matter as yet. Legal red tape under the bureau system was costly and highly inefficient. In 1907 the biannual burget in California came to $18,000,000. To day, the biannual budget amounts to $91,000,000. At this rate of increase the budget in 1935 will amount to $460,000,000.

The speaker referred to the "twin six limousine habits" of the people to vote increased taxes, and spoke of one town that in 1921 had expended $106,000 buying automobiles. $8000 worth of gasoline was used in this town in the year. In closing Mr. Davis made an ap peal to the people against militarism asking them to endeavor to get a better appreciation of man's relation to man, and of our international obligation. The talk given by Mr.

Davis was devoid of any oratorical effort being as a whole a straight forward presen tation of cold facts in regard to a subject that the people have had too much "soft soap" inflicted on them in the past. Governor Jeter next introduced Roy Miller, formerly a resident of Minot, North Dakota, "the port of entry from Canada; since the enactment of the Volstead Act," as Mr. (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, D. Jan. 18.

The American proposal to re-define the open door policy in China and to create an International force to examine both existing and future concessions which appear to conflict with it was adopted in part today by the far eastern committee of the Washington conference. The portion adopted included a general status of equality of opportunity in China for treaties and inr-dustries of all nations, the agreement by which the eight powers declare acceptance of that and provide for the creation of an international board. Action was deferred pending further discussion on the fourth and final part of the resolution by which the nine powers including China, agree that any provision as to existing conflicts, appearing unconstitutional as to another concesson, or with the principles of the open door may be submitted by the powers concerned to the international reference board.

H.A. 319 Soquel Are Phone 400 partisan league In North Dakota in 1915. He told of the purchase of mills by the league as part of the program of efficiency. How the farmer was prom jsed 50 cents more per bushel and the cost to the consumer to be 76c less per barrel, playing both ends against the middle. These mills failed at a cost of millions of dollars to the state.

Homes were built by the state government to be purchas ed on easy payment rates by the people. This plan also failed and to day millions of feet of lumber are rotting in the yards as a result of the failure. The failure of a plan for the construction of a wheat elevator to store part of the year's crop thereby keeping the price up was also mentioned by the speaker as was the failure of the bank of North Dakota. These failures, the speaker said, were attributable alone to the system as all departments of the government, legislative, judicial and executive were in the control of the representatives of the non-parti3an league. Reference was made to the recent meeting held in Modesto for the formation of a non-partisan league i California.

The speaker said that the organizers of the California league had organized the North Dakota league. He therefore could see nothing but evil in the plans. This closed a very successful forum meeting.
