BIG VALUES At
THESE PRICES

An announcement that will be well
coined by more than 100000 owners
of small cars here in the West, is that
which has just been made by the Good
year Tire & Rubber company of Cali
fornia, to the effect that the price of
Goodyear 30X3 IL single cure clincher
tires has been reduced to $13.95, ef-
fective July /.
"Taking into consideration the i'm
mense improvements which have been
made in these tires," says j. X. Hough
manager of automobile tire sales, "and
considering their greatly increased in
built mileage, the consumer has never
before been offered such value not
even by Goodyear, as is in these tires
at $13.95.
"This extremely low price enables
every small car owner, regardless of
the size of his pocketbook, to ride on
Goodyear quality, backed by the Good
year guarantee of satisfaction.
This low price is made possible by
the marked increase in the production
of these tires to meet the demand of
small car owners throughout the West.
ut stands to reason that a company
that has built nearly 100000 of these
tires during the last five years should
know how to make such tire as near
ly perfect as possible, and at the low

STATE BUDGET
Check of Appropriation Bills
Approved by Governor Steph.
ems Shoes Huge Excess
Amount.

| SAN FRANCISCO, July 16.-When
the state budget calling for a total of
$8l, ,278,6925l was submitted to the
last legislature the people of Califor-
ma gasped. The total appropriations
OF the 1919 legislature amounted to
about $52, 100000. The appropriations
! demanded in 1921 represented start
ling increase in cost of state govern
ment.
A check Of the bills passed by the
1921 legislature and approved by the
governor, as announced by the Tax
Payers Association of California, in
dicates that the people have another
gasp coming; for the appropriations
which received the governors approY-
al appear to. reach the huge total of
$91 ,401 ,134.95-exceeding the budget
by more than $1O,OOO,O00.
The Tax Payers Association gives
the result of its check as follows:
General Appropriation bill (bud-
get), 22,S77 $1,000.
Budget special appropriation bills,
$11 ,159, 1886.
X Non-budget special appropriation
bills, $12 ,229, ,7O1.94.
Fixed charges and continuing ap-
preparations (budget, $45, ,134, ,394.15.
Total appropriations as above Great
ing encumbrance on the general fund
for the biennium commencing July /,
1921, $91, ,4O1, ,134.95.
From the above total may be de-
deducted $2,635, 900 in three non-bud-
get special appropriations creating en-
cumbrances on revenues of future BIZ
enniums. This deductions leaves a net
total of general fund appropriations
amounting to $S8, ,134.95.
According to the state board of
equalization the tax revenue of the
state for the first year of the bien-
MUM, under the King tax bill, will be
$33,954 ,544.S5. AS the states ex-
pense in this fiscal year will be ap-
proximately $44,SS3 ,067.47, it appears
that in addition to the tax revenue be-

bate on Measure.
CBy Associated Press)

CHICAGO, July 16.-The fight Of
the American Legion for a bonus for
the soldiers who served in the world
war, is to be continued with renewed
.vigor, declared Major John G. Emory,
national commander Of. the Legion,
in commenting on the tracking"
of the bill in the senate at Washing
ton yesterday afternoon. He said, 1--WE
will start all over again in the house"
Some of the side lights on the side
tracking of the bill have been reported
in the dispatches from Washington.
President Harding's victory in the
senate when it voted to recommit the
bill to the finance committee led to
one of the liveliest hows that august
and dienifed body has seen in many.
a day and eliminated in exchange Of
physical challenges.
Senator McCumber of North Dakota
attempted to make speech explaining
the action taken and was denounced
by the democratic members. McCum-
ber persisted in his speech and de-
clared that the bonus bill would be
reported again as soon as the foreign
debts are refunded and tax and tariff
issues are settled.
Senator Reed of Missouri, democrat
interjected that the secretary of the
treasury had declared it might be five
wears before the foreign debts ere
funded.
"That's not true" McCumber re.
piled. -.,4 4e
"I'm tired of having statements chal

Robinson of Arkansas. Democrat,
broke in to advise the chair to call
McCumber to order.
Rushing over to Robinson, McCum-
Der yelled:
"If the senator wants to call me to
order let him come outside and do it."
McCumber then extended q similar
invitation to Senator Reed.
Neither Reed nor Robinson accepted.

KABER WOMAN

GUILTY Of
MURDER
Wife Who Plotted to Have
Husband Stabbed to Death
COllapses When Sentenced

(By Associated Press)

CLEVELAND, July 16.-Mrs. Eva
Katherine Kaber was today found
guilty by the jury of murder in the
first degree for plotting to have her
husband, Daniel f. Kaber, wealthy
Lakewood publisher, killed. The ver-
diet was coupled with recommends
ton for mercy, which was the only
way to save, the woman from the death
penalty. gr'.
When the verdict of the jury had
been read by the clerk of the court,
Mrs. Kaber collapsed and was caught
in the arms of deputy sheriff, who
told her to stand to hear the verdict
read.
The woman was lying limp and
daZed in the arms of the deputy when
she was asked if she had anything to
say, why the sentence of the court
should not be imposed upon her. She
merely shook her head to indicate that
she had not. Judge Bernon then SEN
fenced her to serve the balance Of her
natural life in the state prison. Mrs.
Kaber who had partly revived during
the passing of the sentence, collapsed
again at hearing her sentence and
was carried back to a cell in the Jail
in an unconscious condition and physi-
clans sent for to revive her.

RAPED BY
HOOVER
Selfishness of Small Gr0upes
of Manufacturers, Dealers
and Employees Is Delaying
Return to Normal COndi-
tons.

CHICAGO, July 16.-Herbert Hoov-
err, secretary Of commerce, placed
most Of the blame. for present business
depression upon forces set in motion
by the post war boom. Z The govern
ment is using "sanity and caution" to
aid business recovery, he said, and is
sure of success in correcting many
economic handicaps now evident
Hoover made an address before the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards.
"This is the thirteenth industrial
depression we have suffered since the
Civil War;" the secretary said. "We
have come through the IL others all
right.
eve have today greater courage and
no less courage, skill and intelli-
gence than when we met these dis
asters before.
"We do have forces working in the
country of equality never experienced.
First, we have now provided finan-
cial system that has saved us from
the terrible destruction of a monetary
panic that would otherwise have ac-
companied so tremendous a fall in
values. Second, we have a higher
sense of service, widespread willing
ness to give aid to the injured in busi-
ness.
Thousands of firms whose cases
seemed hopeless months ago are on
the road to safety. From the war we
have to recover many losses and to
change our productive forces in ac-
cordance with the economic shifts in
the world. J.. &
"Spreading over all this, however,
lies the fact that this depression is
to great degree born Of the malev-
olent forces set in motion by initiation
and by all booms. ~.
"We must suffer period Of duress
from war and punishment for, the
boom until we rebuild our virtues of
hard work, frugal living, more saw
ing, sober conduct, and higher honesty
There are a few people who will not
accept these hard facts, who can, by
various devices, avoid reaping what
they have sOwed.
"The resistance of few groups Of
manufacturers or dealers to lowering
prices to the general level; the resist
ance of few workers to accommoda-
ton of their wages to the decreasing
cost of living, and the necessity for a
better days work, the refusal of some
people to curtail their extravagances
all contribute to our undoing. They
delay recovery and contribute to un-
employment among the rest of US"
Secretary Hoover said he had rec
ords showing that in most manufac-
turing establishments efficiency has
increased from 20 to 30 per cent dur
ing the last IL months. He said the
farmers are making extraordinary eff
forts this year and will produce this
years crops at much less than last
years costs.

cans, entered the big store of Varney
Brothers & Co., at Calexico the other

mately $1,000 worth of goods, without
detection.
The gang cut two steel bars in 4

the meZzadine floor and thence by
stairway to the main floor. They
helped themselves to a lot of ready-to-
wear silk gowns. silk kimonos and
lingerie, lot of mems silk shirts.
socks and ties and an assortment Of
cheap stick pins and cuff links.
The police believe that the stolen
stuff was carried across the border
and will be peddled there in the red
