VIEWS OF A BEET GROWER Speaks from Standpoint of the Local Producer, Criticises Administration's Course in Regard to Philippine Sugar EDITOR ANAHEIM GAZETTE: In his reply to A. Wellington’s letter in the “Gazette” of March 5th, the Express editor, without offering figures or citing proof in support of his contentions, argues to wrong conclusions. Instead of assuming to know it all, he should file a “bill of particulars.” The indifference and crass stupidity of our editorial writers is the main cause of the slow progress of some of our most promising industries. The editor of the Express in his role of Assistant Free-Trader and half-breed Protectionist is a good illustration. He would do well to read Palmer’s speech before the Irrigation Congress and get hold of some facts from first hands, from a man who is posted on the subject of beet sugar raising in the United States. We have within our borders peasants from Europe who have come to our shores to make homes with us and to seven hundred and twenty pounds of sugar and get that into circulation amongst our people? Taking Mr. Taft at his word, is more profitable, let the Farmers raise hemp and leave the Anahi farmers to produce beet sugars such time as this country can into its own. The great cry of the free trade “free raw material.” In the facture of sugar, beets are raw right at hand from the farmer land. What Taft wants is free raw material for the sugar trust to refine it by $6.72 per ton of sugar for the American should ask that he be allowed to all the raw material required spend all the money it costs to beets, right here at home. This placed in circulation will waves of swelling prosperity from one end to the other of its tenant. Besides the purely moral aspect, other phases are profitably meant for vast capital here instead of by speculators across seas. The use of the sugar beet with other crops will reclaim areas of hitherto practically was land. Sugar beet culture makes growers out of shiftless farmers. He would do well to read Palmer's speech before the Irrigation Congress and get hold of some facts from first hands, from a man who is posted on the subject of beet sugar raising in the United States. We have within our borders peasants from Europe who have come to our shores to make homes with us and to rear their children amongst us. Instead of providing for these he would go first to far distant isles of the sea for raw material rather than let the American farmers distribute the money for it here at home. TAFT'S FALSE PLEA The very latest argument made in favor of admitting Philippine sugar free of duty to our American markets compares favorably with its long list of unreliable predecessors. The star argument which has been used year after year by various advocates of Philippine tariff reduction, including every American Governor-General of the islands, from William H. Taft to Henry C. Ide, is as follows, the language here quoted being that of Secretary Taft when speaking of the special tariff favors which Spain granted the Philippines: "This gave a constant market to both the sugar and tobacco of the Philippines in Spain, which has now been entirely cut off. Is it possible that we will not be as generous to the Philippines as Spain was, the defects of whose government have formed the chief excuse for our taking over the Philippine islands to our own control?" The fallacy and total untruthfulness of this statement was long since exposed. It was shown by government reports that for thirty five years prior to American occupation, Spain and the entire continent of Europe purchased but 2.2 per cent of the Philippine sugar exports, and consequently the "constant market, which has now been cut off" in Spain for Philippine sugar was a myth, inasmuch as they never had a Spanish sugar market which could be "cut off." It was also shown that owing to United States tariff concessions already granted the Philippines since the American occupation, we have in a single year purchased more Philippine sugar than was purchased by the whole nation. Besides the purely moral aspect, other phases are profitable for vast capital here instead of by speculators across seas. The use of the sugar beet tide with other crops will reclaim areas of hitherto practically wild land, Sugar beet culture makes farmers out of shiftless farmers. In Germany the sugar beet eating crop increases the acres production of the wheat 24 per barley 25 per cent, of rye 15 per of peas 86 per cent and oil potato per cent. In arid America there are still potent reasons for expanding dustry which is so far reaching economic effect. No, Michigan has not compied with Taft. They saw through his veiled subterfuges of fright through the "Philippine hole wall," and woke up and sent a tion to Congress to look after terests. As the result they goance from the senate commute the Philippines that they need Taft's onslaughts at this session now rest on their oars; not because a truce with Taft nor that satisfied with concessions which concede. Truman G Palmer well says fostering this industry of arid an unjust burden has been lax any citizen of any state in ther figures do not show it. "The revenues collected have shared by all the people, east of the gain to American industry 000,000 has gone largely to arithmetic, and the bulk of it has driven to our eastern manufactures in for goods we require but do reduce in arid America. "Had this sugar been produced from the planters of the tropically none of the money paid would ever have returned to try. This is evidenced by balances with Cuba, San Brazil and Java, from which we purchase the bulk of our annually send these countries 000 in gold in payment for their acts, while they return to us 000,000 and expend the other 000 in Europe in the purchases which are common to this exports, and consequently the "constant market, which has now been cut off" in Spain for Philippine sugar was a myth, inasmuch as they never had a Spanish sugar market which could be "cut off." It was also shown that owing to United States tariff concessions already granted the Philippines since the American occupation, we have in a single year purchased more Philippine sugar than was purchased by the whole continent of Europe during the entire thirteen years preceding the American occupation; and that since the Spanish flag was hauled down, we have purchased more Philippine sugar by 24,000 tons than the entire amount which was purchased by Europe from 1862 to the American occupation. Hence there was no warrant for the query, "Is it possible that we will not be as generous to the Philippines as Spain was?" It was also shown that since the American occupation Spain has taken a larger proportion of the Philippine tobacco exports than ever before; hence, it is untrue that the Spanish tobacco market "has now been entirely cut off," or even injured in the least. It was by such sophistry as this that the sugar trust in carrying on their bureau of education for Cuban reciprocity influenced the people through such "leaders of thought" as the Express editor. The United States is eating annually 6,720,000,000 pounds of sugar or 84 pounds per capita. To produce this at home would elevate the agricultural values and status all over the beet raising belt which stretches clear across the continent, converting a vast acreage of unproductiveness into teeming harvest lands. What does it mean to distribute the worth of six billion "The beet sugar bills of the can. people amount to $350,000 year, or more than $1,000,000 each working day of the year. "In addition to consuming sugar produced from the beet America and the cane of L.A., Hawaii and Porto Rico annually importing 1,500,000 foreign countries. SUGAR IMPORTS VERSUS BREW EXPORTS. "Our enormous exports of stuffs have naturally been paid with pride for many years notwithstanding our large hold industry on the main land and island possessions in 1905, and the receipts for our barley required more money to send foreign raw sugar bills than received for all our exports of stuffs and preparations of bricks including corn and corn meal oat meal, rye and rye flour, and wheat flour combined. "It took the value of all we raised on 8,500,000 acres fifth of the entire wheat acres United States to pay for the imported from foreign lands we could have produced on acres of American sugar beet." ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1908 Mailed Obscene Letters Louis P. Dunlap, a blacksmith employed by Charles Stadtegger, was placed under arrest by two deputy United States marshals on Tuesday morning and taken to Los Angeles on a charge of sending obscene literature through the mails. Dunlap is said to have mailed letters to a young woman at Willows, Glenn county, on which his arrest was based. The two officers arrived at half-past 8 and went to the blacksmith shop where Dunlap is employed. They asked for him and engaged briefly in conversation with him. They produced letters written by Dunlap, which he was seen to scrutinize closely. The conversation was not overheard by bystanders. Dunlap took off his apron, donned his hat and coat, and telling his employer he had a little business to attend to, left the shop, going to the Santa Fe depot, where he was taken to Los Angeles aboard the 10 o'clock train. Dunlap lives with his mother on Hermine street. The residence was constructed with money procured from the building and loan association. Senatorial Convention The senatorial committee of the thirty-ninth senatorial district met at Orange on Tuesday and selected July 11th as the date for holding the convention for nomination of a candidate for senator. The appointment of delegates was Senatorial Convention The senatorial committee of the thirty-ninth senatorial district met at Orange on Tuesday and selected July 11th as the date for holding the convention for nomination of a candidate for senator. The appointment of delegates was fixed as follows: Orange county 13, Riverside 10. The convention will be held at Riverside. Seeing the Fleet Traveling passenger agent Moore of the Santa Fe was in town on Tuesday, looking after fleet business. The battleship fleet will anchor off Coronada April 14-18, and both squadrons will lay near inshore. “This will probably be the best opportunity for seeing the fleet,” said Mr. Moore, always with an eye out for business. The Santa Fe contemplates running fifteen specials to San Diego during these fleet days, and is making preparations to handle 15,000 people at Coronada and Tent City. “The biggest crowd ever in the state will be here during the stay of the fleet, people are coming from as far east as Chicago. You will see the fleet first at Coronada, and it will be intact there.” “How about your chateau and fish pond in the mountains?” the reporter asked, leaving Evans on a siding. “I’ve passed that up. I have been in conference with Luther Burbank, and we are going in for four-legged chickens and double-yolked eggs. We figure we can raise 5,000 chickens this fall, which will be worth $3000, and the double-yolked eggs will be worth twice the ordinary grade of hen fruit.” Mr. Moore is a boomer from away back, and what he says about seeing the fleet first at San Diego is so. That is the place to see Admiral Bob first, and there his fleet will be intact. Los Angeles will probably contain the largest number of people within its borders during fleet week that have ever assembled there. Evans’ ships will be distributed between San Pedro, Long Beach, Redondo and Santa Monica. Many Los Angeles people are going to San Diego to see the fleet first. the money paid for it have returned to this country is evidenced by our trade with Cuba, San Domingo, Java, from which countries see the bulk of our sugar. We send these countries $200,000 in payment for their production they return to us but $50,- we expend the other $150,000- Europe in the purchase of products are common to this country set sugar bills of the American amount to $350,000,000 a more than $1,000,000 a day for long day of the year.ition to consuming all the produced from the beets of arid land and the cane of Louisiana, Hawaii and Porto Rico, we are importing 1,500,000 tons from countries. EXPORTS VERSUS BREADSTUFF EXPORTS. An enormous exports of bread naturally been pointed to be for many years past, but sending our large home sugar on the main land and in our sessions in 1905, aside from stocks for our barley exports, it more money to settle our new sugar bills than all we receive all our exports of bread-preparations of breadstuffs, corn and corn meal, oats and rye and rye flour, and wheat and flour combined. For the value of all the wheat on 8,500,000 acres or one entire wheat acreage of the states to pay for the sugar we from foreign lands and which have produced on 1,500,000 American sugar beets. As a back, and what he says about seeing the fleet first at San Diego is so. That is the place to see Admiral Bob first, and there his fleet will be intact. Los Angeles will probably contain the largest number of people within its borders during fleet week that have ever assembled there. Evans' ships will be distributed between San Pedro, Long Beach, Redondo and Santa Monica. Many Los Angeles people are going to San Diego to see the fleet first. Burglars at Work Burglars broke into Miller's hardware store on Thursday night, effecting an entrance by smashing a large pane of glass in a rear door. They stole two revolvers, a number of carving knives and a quantity of cutlery, including pocket knives, the value of the whole being probably $40. At 3 o'clock on Friday morning thieves broke into the cigar stand in front of Fuhrberg's saloon and made away with 200 cigars. An effort was made to enter the saloon by prying open the front door, but Miss Mabel Wommer, an employee of the Sunset telephone company, summoned the officers and frustrated the burglary. Miss Wommer heard the men at work at about 1.30 o'clock. They did not remain long. They returned at 3. Looking from the window, Miss Wommer saw a man dressed in dark clothes standing at the curb, evidently watching, while another tried to pry open the saloon. It is thought that at the first visit the men made away with the cigars, and later returned to rob the saloon. Miss Wommer telephoned Marshal Steadman and Constable Litten, who soon responded. The burglars had in the meantime taken flight, and no arrests were made. Zette.
