The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION.....$1.50 Per Year Six Months.....$1.00 Three Months.....50 Cts The Gazette is issued every Thursday morning. Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice second-class matter. Has the Largest Circulation AGAIN ENLARGED The Gazette appears this morning in new form, and will be published hereafter as a seven-column eight-page newspaper. This is a substantial enlargement over the size in which it has hitherto appeared, which in turn was an enlargement of 50 per cent over the size in vogue earlier in the year. While we prefer the smaller form and increased number of pages heretofore appearing, concessions had to be made to advertisers, and the larger page is therefore adopted. The Gazette is nearing its thirty-ninth birthday, having made its first appearance in 1870. It is the oldest newspaper but one in Southern California. There are no newspapers published in Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside or other contiguous counties of the south, with the single exception noted, which date back to the time when the Gazette first appeared. During all this time the paper has never missed an issue, with the exception of two issues in 1876, when the office and its contents were destroyed by fire. The Gazette has been under its present editorial management for nearly twenty-two years. Since the day it first appeared it has been an all-home-print publication. It never PRESIDENT FAVORS IT According to recent Washington despatches, President Taft not only advocates the tax on the net earnings of corporations, but is of the opinion that all those who advocate right methods in corporations must come to realize the merits of this proposition if they will but give it due consideration. And he is said to believe also that no better opportunity could be afforded Congress to enact a measure which is essential to the proper rounding out of the policies of the last administration, and will redound to the greater credit of the Republican party than that now presented. The advocates of this measure claim that it would compel the filing by all corporations of a statement showing precisely what their net profits had been during the year; that falsification of the statements would be attended by heavy penalties; that corporations, being creatures of the State, their existence could not be concealed, and the necessity of verifying the accuracy of the statements so filed would carry with it the privilege of examining the books of corporations by federal officials. The fact alone that the proposition carries federal supervision of corporations, would be sufficient to commend it to all disinterested persons, but the further consideration that it is President Taft's own proposition will give it an added interest in the minds not only of both houses of Congress, but in those of all loyal adherents of the policies of the last administration. INVESTMENTS IN CHINA At the suggestion of President Taft, it is reported, the State Department has made public a statement expressing the gratification of this government at the formation of A SIMPLER Observations on Illinois The Illinois Supreme Court aside the direct plea State, apparently ties which the plaintiff it. The Supreme Court is soon to pass on direct primary law, aside too, though fortunately, in the former Supreme Court and it does not that if it does seize will be for good this much we may California law is there are any repleasible given for will be found, as complications intrude by the politicians save to themselves blef of the things ww mary is intended them. In general, the same mary law is the provided for the nomination or that anybody for the nomination any ticket may do his intention long to give time to get ballot. If there is ous or preposterous perhaps be added get his name on therant must present enough to indicatecy is taken serious sides himself. Also fee may be exacted didate or his friend cost which the pr will entail. It may for getting names tive of the canon The Gazette has been under its present editorial management for nearly twenty-two years. Since the day it first appeared it has been an all-home-print publication. It never used a patent inside or outside, and believed and still believes that the best news for a local paper is that which is prepared exclusively for its own use in its own office. The Gazettes' motto has been and still is to keep a little ahead of the procession, and in its present form has few equals as to size among all the country weeklies in the entire State of California. As to its merits, we prefer to let others speak, for the Gazette is not a boaster. It stands for the upbuilding of this valley, it stands for day irrigation and all the other advantages of civilized life. Its circulation is today larger than ever, and is increasing with each issue. It is our purpose to make it so good a newspaper that no one in Northern Orange county can afford to get along without it. Other improvements are in store for our readers, and these will be announced in due time. The Gazette has subscribers on its books who have taken the paper for nearly thirty-nine years—and they have paid their subscriptions promptly in advance each year. To these and to all other friends and supporters of the paper we extend our appreciative thanks, and we trust that their confidence in the paper may never by any act of the writer be shattered or destroyed. And so, as The Gazette sees before it another year of usefulness and endeavor, as it surveys the years which have sped into history since the writer first "carried around the paper" in the long ago, during all of which time it has stood steadfastly by the interests of the people, we say, with Tiny Tim, God bless us all. Again thanks and appreciation to our patrons. We shall strive to merit their friendship and their support in the future as in the past. PATRONIZE THE WHITES INVESTMENTS IN CHINA At the suggestion of President Taft, it is reported, the State Department has made public a statement expressing the gratification of this government at the formation of "a powerful and responsible financial group to enter the important field of investment in China." The State Department, it is declared, is giving the enterprise the cordial support which it is ever ready to give to all legitimate and beneficial American commercial and financial undertaking in foreign countries. Great activity has been shown in railway building in China since the Russo-Japanese war. China has granted concessions to British, German, and French financial interests to build railway lines, and money has been borrowed abroad already for the repurchase of the line between Peking and Hankow from the financiers operating it. It is well known that President Taft is deeply interested in China and in promoting the commercial relations of the United States and the Far East, and such undertakings "because of their direct benefit to American commerce and to international relations," are to be encouraged. REDLANDS ORANGES DROPPING All the orange men can talk nothing but the heavy dropping of the young fruit, says the Redlands Facts. There is a very general alarm among growers, which has communicated itself somewhat to the packers, as to the possibility of the coming crop being very small, in consequence of the four hot days we had, following upon a spell of cold weather. The severity of the rays of Old Sol was shown by the facts that berries and flowers were burned and ruined, and it is not to be wondered at that the little oranges, hardly set, should drop off literally by the millions, until under every tree there is a carpet of little green globes. The real status of the crop, however, it will be impossible to ascertain for some weeks yet. The July drop will tell the story. If it is as heavy as usual, the crop will be a very light one indeed. The drop up perhaps not only of both houses of Congress, but in those of all loyal adherents of the policies of the last administration. CHANGES AT T The report of that at Annapolis, recently received by Navy Department certain to receive proval of the midshipmen and the commendation of the middies who led over the physical students at the Naval board is of the order facility for exercise to the midshipmen and to this end new improvements in tennis courts, golf course of handball coalleys, and request equipped with suitcases constructed. The important change and it is to be howvy Department will commendations and ditions in so far as another class is grown. COMPROMISE The suit of George his father, George B 300, alleged to be on Tuesday comproaching half-day's trial in this PATRONIZE THE WHITES An intelligent lady living in the Brookshurst section makes this complaint against the town merchants: That she raises the finest blackberries, and other fruits and vegetables, and can find no market for them in Anaheim. She has had under consideration the sale of her place, and moving to another locality where she can market the crops she raises. Now this is not as it should be. The Jap and Chinese vegetable and berry vendor seem to be waxing fat in the lap of luxury, and we regret to hear that white farmers cannot dispose of their wares, even when offering them at rates lower than those of the heathen. When our farmers prosper, the town prospers. Money paid Chinese and Japs for berries and vegetables is sent away, never to return. That paid whites circulates here. Let our merchants see to it that not a berry is raised in the region tributary to Anaheim by white people will fall of a market here. This applies also to all lines of fruits and vegetables. Let us patronize the whites in preference to orientals. Men Only. Evangelist Jones will speak to men only at 2:30 Sunday afternoon in opera-house. Boys under 13 not admitted. Don't miss meeting. The real status of the crop, however, it will be impossible to ascertain for some weeks yet. The July drop will tell the story. If it is as heavy as usual, the crop will be a very light one indeed. The drop up to this time has been about as heavy as all the dropping period generally shows, and there are yet four weeks in which the fruit generally drops more or less. TAXING CORPORATIONS The most interesting and important phase of the week's consideration of the tariff bill has been the presentation of a proposition, favored by President Taft, to impose a tax of two per cent on the net earnings of corporations, and the decision of the Senate leaders to bring in an amendment embodying the President's idea, to be offered as a substitute for the income tax proposition. Only second in importance to this has been the agreement reached by Senators Bailey and Cummins on the income tax proposition, as a result of which there is now before the Senate only a single income tax amendment which, in brief, imposes a tax of two per cent on all incomes over $5000 a year, including those of corporations, and carrying a provision for reimbursement to stockholders of corporations, taxed under the law, whose total incomes from all sources are less than $5000 of the amount which, as stockholders, they contributed to the tax paid by the corporation.

Alfalfa hay for sa A SIMPLER PRIMARY Observations on Setting Aside the Illinois Law The Illinois Supreme Court has set aside the direct primary law, of that State, apparently for the complexities which the politicians put into it. The Supreme Court of California is soon to pass on the California direct primary law, and may set it aside, too, though we hope not. Unfortunately, in the case of the California Supreme Court you can't tell, and it does not necessarily follow that if it does set aside the law it will be for good reasons. But of this much we may be certain: If the California law is set aside, and if there are any reasons even partly plausible given for the reversal, they will be found, as in Illinois, in the complications introduced in the law by the politicians, with intent to save to themselves as much as possible of the things which the direct primary is intended to take away from them. In general, the simplest direct primary law is the best. Simply provided for the nomination of any office or that anybody who wants to run for the nomination for any office on any ticket may do so, by announcing his intention long enough in advance to give time to get his name on the ballot. If there is danger of frivolous or preposterous candidates, let it perhaps be added that in order to get his name on the ballot an aspirant must present a petition large enough to indicate that his candidacy is taken seriously by some one besides himself. Also, perhaps a filing fee may be exacted, to put on a candidate or his friends a part of the cost which the printing of his name will entail. It may be well to provide for getting names on by the initiative of the candidate's supporters, LIBRARY NOTES We have in Anaheim a goodly number of generous hearted people, but none more so than our esteemed florist, Mrs. Gates, who from time to time freely gives of her earnings to any good cause that is of benefit to the upbuilding of our city. In proof of the above we would say that last week Mrs. Gates donated to the library over $30 worth of choice plants, trees and shrubs, some of them being very valuable and worth up to $2.00 each, including 1 rubber tree, 2 sago palms, 2 Seaforthico Elegens, 2 large flower cactus, 1 camilla, 1 magnolia, 2 hydrangeas, 2 flame trees, 8 accacias, 2 blue palms, 6 fuchias, 8 begonias, 1 rice paper tree, 1 Grevillea Thielmania, 1 scarlet Passio vine, 250 pansy plants and other plants, which in a few years, if taken care of, will make the library grounds one of the most beautiful spots in our city. Who will be the first to donate a couple of nice granite tie posts along Los Angeles street? Thos. S. Armstrong, Librarian. Our last lot of new books are being eagerly read, especially by the young people. We have not had any donations of books very recently from any one, but am sure there are plenty of good books in good order laying around the private libraries in this city that have been read and which would be very acceptable if donated to the library. Clean up and see what you have, especially for children. Library opens from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Sundays from 2:30 to 5 p.m. PLACENTIA The ladies of the Placentia Round Table gave the annual entertainment at the home of Mrs. C. C. Chapman. GARDEN GROVE Application will be made in a few days to the State Banking Commissioners for a charter for a State bank at Garden Grove. While the matter is still in its preliminary state, sufficient details have been decided upon to enable those interested to say that the bank will be one of the most complete for its size in this county. The capital stock has been placed at $25,000 all of which has been fully subscribed for by Santa Ana and Garden Grove people. It is proposed to erect a new home for the institution, and a lot has been secured opposite Junkin & Keeler's general store at Garden Grove. The building will be of brick construction, one story in height, and devoted exclusively to banking purposes. A heavy steel burglar proof safe, set in a reinforced concrete vault will be installed, and the interior fittings and fixtures will be in harmony with the ornate design of the facade. The name of the bank will be Bank of Garden Grove, and if there are no delays in completing the organization and building, it is expected the doors will open for business within sixty days. Men Only. Evangelist Jones will speak to men only at 2:30 Sunday afternoon in opera-house. Boys under 13 not admitted. Don't miss meeting. The Anaheim Dancing Club gives a Theatrical dance at opera-house on Tuesday evening, June 29. A cordial invitation extended to all. CHANGES AT THE ACADEMY The report of the board of visitors at Annapolis, recently forwarded to the Navy Department contains a number of recommendations which are certain to receive the enthusiastic approval of the midshipmen themselves and the commendation of all friends of the middies who have been excited over the physical condition of the students at the Naval Academy. The board is of the opinion that every facility for exercise should be given to the midshipmen at the Academy and to this end recommends many improvements in the athletic field, tennis courts, golf links, the construction of handball courts and bowling alleys, and requests that a stadium, equipped with suitable dressing rooms be constructed. There are many other important changes recommended, and it is to be hoped that the Navy Department will take up these recommendations and improve the conditions in so far as possible, before another class is graduated. COMPROMISE REACHED The suit of George Bauer Jr. against his father, George Bauer Sr., for $2,300, alleged to be due for wages, was on Tuesday compromised, after a half day's trial in the Superior court. It was shown that the son had been working at home for a number of years without any specific agreement as to wages, and while admitting that the son was entitled to something the father did not believe and which would be very acceptable if donated to the library. Clean up and see what you have, especially for children. Library opens from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Sundays from 2:30 to 5 p.m. PLACENTIA The ladies of the Placentia Round Table gave the annual entertainment at the home of Mrs. C. C. Chapman, Friday evening, June 18. The assembly hall was nicely decorated with matilija popples, and was well filled, at least 175 members and invited guests being present. The entertainment opened with music by the Crowther orchestra, which every one knows, cannot be excelled. Their classical and well rendered selections delighted the entire audience which had not known that such a treat was in store for them. The soloist of the evening was Miss Bertha Tombes, who sang to her own accompaniment two beautiful songs. Then came the presentation of the play, "Sunbonnets," with the following cast of characters: Mrs. Butterfield, a practical person who takes summer boarders—Mrs. Frank Gardiner. Charlina, her 14-year-old daughter—Miss Margaret Strain. Mrs. DuBois, an unpractical person who boards with Mrs. Butterfield—Mrs. C. C. Chapman. Mildred, her 16-year-old daughter—Miss Ethel Chapman.

It was shown that the son had been working at home for a number of years without any specific agreement as to wages, and while admitting that the son was entitled to something, the father did not believe the sum should be nearly as large as the son had demanded, $2300. A compromise arrangement was made. The father gave the son a half interest in some land at Anaheim and paid him $500. The agreement was very near a splitting of the difference. Tipton & Cailor represented the son, and Richard Melrose and R. Y. Williams the father. For Rent: Cottage at Bay City. Apply to Otto Storm, First National Bank. CAPT. FRIES REMOVAL Strong resolutions protesting against the removal of Capt. A. A. Fries as United States engineer in the southwest, because he is greatly needed in the development of San Pedro harbor, have been adopted by the Los Angeles harbor commission, and telegrams have been sent to Senator Flint and Congressman McLachlan, asking them to use their endeavors to keep Captain Fries here. Public feeling is strong over the action of the War Department in relieving Captain Fries of his work here and assigning him to Washington. Alfalfa hay for sale at Dickel's.
