FAVORS $15,000 BOND ISSUE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ON RECORD FOR STREET PAVING Recommends Securities Run for Twenty Years Instead of Forty—Arrangements Made for Demonstra-tion Train—Mis-labeling Fruit Under Consideration—New Officers Four of the five newly elected members of the board of directors of the chamber of commerce took their seats Monday night. They were Wm. Falkenstein, Oscar Renner, Chas. Eygabroad and C. A. Holcomb. F. W. Champion, the other new member, failed to attend. The retiring members were Ahlborn, Wickett and Miller, and Capt. Ahlborn made a neat little farewell address, transferring all his responsibilities to the shoulders of the new members and recommending that they continue the paving of Anaheim's streets and push the sewer proposition to a successful issue. The new board organized by electing H. V. Weisel president, Oscar Renner vice president, and Geo. Ross secretary. Communications from various parties seeking information about the climate, soil and products of this region were read. One of these was from far-away New Zealand. A letter from Mr. Meyers of the Pacific Vegetable company stated he had finally succeeded in securing signatures for a sufficient acreage of tomatoes to justify the erection of a packing house here and his company would build one. The board had before it a communication from the civic society of the Ebell club asking that it co-operate with the society in declaring Feb. 22d Arbor Day and hold a suitable celebration. The society recently sent the same to the school trustees and requested permission to plant trees on the primary school grounds, but were informed that if they would remain at home and attend to their household duties the trustees would manage to keep the school grounds in proper condition. Anaheim and making it known before the world. The following letter from District Attorney Davis relative to the mis-labeling of fruit was read: Santa Ana, January 20. A. A. Mills, Chairman.—Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your letter of recent date with reference to the shipment of green and dried fruits, and am herewith sending you a modified form of the amendment of the law. Section 1 of the statutes of 1903, page 338, is hereby amended so as to read as follows: "All fruit and vegetables, green or dried, canned or preserved, contained in boxes, barrels, packages, cans or other receptacles, which shall hereafter be shipped or offered for shipment in this state by any person,firm or corporation, shall have stamped, branded, labeled, or stencled in a conspicuous place on the outside of every box, barrel, package, can or other receptacle in legible letters at least one-half an inch in height, a statement truly and correctly designating the county and township in which such fruit or vegetable is grown." You can make use of this in any way you deem advisable, having the law amended. Very truly yours, S. M. Davis, District Attorney STONE WAS A PEACH Not One of the Opposing Batsmen Reached Second BY CHILLY FISHER The Anaheim baseball team applied a coat of whitewash to the West Jefferson Merchants by a score of 4 to 0 on the local diamond Sunday afternoon. Dwight Stone, the "elongated" pitcher of the locals, had the merchants at his mercy. Only twenty-nine men faced him and of this number he allowed only two safe hits. He sent thirteen of them to the bench by the strike-out route and five by the first-base route. He gave no bases on balls and not a merchant reached second base. Maine, catcher for the losers, was the heavy sticker for his team, securing the only hits made off Stone. The heavy hitting for the locals was Ebell club asking that it co-operate with the society in declaring Feb. 22d Arbor Day and hold a suitable celebration. The society recently sent the same to the school trustees and requested permission to plant trees on the primary school grounds, but were informed that if they would remain at home and attend to their household duties the trustees would manage to keep the school grounds in proper condition. On motion Chairman Weisel appointed a committee of three—Mills, Falkenstein and Renner—to confer with the school board relative to declaring Feb. 22d Arbor Day, and prepare a suitable program for the occasion. Motion of Eygabroad that a committee of three be appointed on advertising was carried, but the chair withheld the names of the committee for the present. J. B. Neff notified the board that the Demonstration train would be in Anaheim on March 9. Messrs. Holcomb and Champion were appointed a committee to confer with him and secure a suitable hall for speaking. The paving committee was instructed to take up the matter of bonds for paving street intersections. The trustees favored a bond issue of $7500 to run 40 years, but the chamber of commerce directors were unanimously in favor of a larger issue and shorter time. If only $7500 was voted, they argue, in a year or two another issue would be necessary, so they recommend a $15,000 issue, the bonds to be sold only as the money is needed. T. S. Armstrong was reelected as caretaker and assistant secretary of the board. On motion of Falkenstein a vote of thanks was extended to J. O. Royer for his excellent work in advertising pitcher of the locals, had the merchants at his mercy. Only twenty-nine men faced him and of this number he allowed only two safe hits. He sent thirteen of them to the bench by the strike-out route and five by the first-base route. He gave no bases on balls and not a merchant reached second base. Malne, catcher for the losers, was the heavy sticker for his team, securing the only hits made off Stone. The heavy hitting for the locals was done by Carpenter, Collins, Valencia and Huntington, each getting two hits out of four times up. The locals started scoring in the first. Goddard reached first on error of H. O'Neal and stole second. Valencia hit safe to right, Goddard scoring, but was caught trying to stretch it into a two-base hit. Schneider fanned and Carpenter fouled. In the second Collins first up flew to Greer. Huntington hit to left for two and took third on a pass. D. Stone hit safe to right, scoring Huntington. Hendricks and Spencer out. In the fifth Hendricks first up flew out to Greer and Spencer struckout. Goddard put the ball in deep right for three sacks and Valencia hit to left for two, scoring Goddard. Valencia was caught napping off second. In the eighth the locals scored the home team scored their last run. Schneider first up grounded out. Carpenter hit safe to center. Collins hit safe to left advancing Carpenter to third, but Collins was caught at second. Huntington hit to center and Carpenter scored. Huntington was put out at third trying to take advantage of Greer's error. The visitors were at no time dangerous, due to the gilt-edge pitching of D. Stone and his faultless support.

Pickups and Throws Valencia, Collins and Huntington each drove out a two bagger while Goddard was contented with a triple. Carpenter took two singles out of four times up. Maine, of the Merchants, was the only man to reach first. He tried to steal second in the first inning, but failed. He reached first again in the fourth and sixth but did not try for second as he had too much respect for Collins' peg to that station. It was a poor day for passes as neither pitcher walked a man. Huntington wants to play second as the attraction in right field has been missing for a couple of weeks. We'll try to have them back next Sunday, Stump. Next Sunday, Feb. 20, the locals play the Santa Anitas. URGES CO-OPERATION Farmers Advised to Stand Together This production was often and indeed clumsy and slow beside the developed machine production of today. Yet, what was produced belonged to those who produced it and it remained upon the farm. The income of the farmer and his family was in direct proportion to their exertion save as effected by natural calamities. Today this is all changed. One trade after another has left the farm and the farm itself has been transformed until the farmer has become a specialist working within one narrow field and is as dependent upon outside social forces as the artisan at the bench. Unquestionably, he is dependent upon a market and between him and this market there has slipped in a social force that controls the price of what he has to sell and what he has to buy. For what he has to sell he gets the lowest price. For what he has to buy he pays the highest price. Notwithstanding the fact that he has improved machinery of all descriptions that has added immensely to his product there has been no equivalent addition to his income. If the farmer is not getting the value of that product it becomes a matter of importance to know who is getting it. The advent of the departure of the trade from the farm marked the industrial change. When the trade left the farm the farmer lost control of it. It became a new social force of itself but in the hands of another owner. With the loss of the ownership he lost the control. As each trade became a separate specialty it also became a collective institution and in its further development the actual worker ceased to be the owner. The many rivals in the same line of manufacture or commercial enterprise formed their associations and combines upon which there is so much comment and speculation today. These combinations—trusts, in the aggregate, have become a monstrous barnacle upon society of which the farmer is an indispensable part. The farmers producing, selling and buying in an unorganized individual way in competition with each other while other lines of industry are doing the same in an organized, collective and co-operative way, are easy that belonged to some one else—and that in this country where fifty years ago the refrain of a popular song ran: "Come along, come along, don't you take alarm For Uncle Sam is rich enough to give us all a farm." Examining the Twelfth U.S. census report, Vol. II, page xcvii, we find a total of 5,691,191 farm homes in the United States. Of these homes 1,093,235 are mortgaged and 2,010,959 are rented. Over half of all farm homes are mortgaged and rented. This does not speak well for the free and independent farmer: There are exceptions to be made, however, in stating the case of the farmer. There are some farmers (if I may call them farmers) who are not suffering from the economic pressure that the general run of farmers are subject to: There is for instance "Henry Miller, a single landowner, is lord of the land over an area two-thirds as large as the whole of the Emerald Isle. "Samuel W. Allerson of Chicago owns more than 40,000 acres of improved farmland in the great central states of Ohio, Iowa and Illinois. "Mrs. Virginia Ann King of Greenville, Tex., owns so much land in one great ranch that it is a drive of nearly fifty miles from the porch of her manor house to the front gate of her door yard." And among twenty-seven of the English nobility on record as owners of American land I will give the names and acres owned as follows: Lord Dunraven 60,000 acres, Duke of Sutherland 422,000, M. Ellerhansen 600,000,Bryan H.Evans 700,000,Baron Tweeddale 1,750,000.The acres held by the others range from 10,000 to 15,000 each. I don't suppose that these great land owners are suffering in any way from existing conditions—they probably do pretty well. But how about the tenant farmer from whom they exact tribute? Surely, the interests of the farmer demands attention. We have an immense fight on our hands and no one will fight it but ourselves as farmers have had to do in the past.To meet the organizations and combinations that are arrayed against us in an individual way is as ridiculous as hopeless. Organization can be met only with organization. If any such pre- URGES CO-OPERATION Farmers Advised to Stand Together for Their Protection Anaheim, Feb. 14, 1910. Editor Gazette.—A word to the farmers of Orange county: It is of common consent that in these days of enormous production, that the farmer is not sharing in the additional values created. He is sadly at the mercy of an alien force that imposes its economic power upon the lives and destinies of men—an economic power that has grown and kept pace with industrial development. In the days of our grandfathers and great grandfathers the farm was to a large extent an isolated industrial unit and the farmer a jack of all trades. He was capable of doing a great number of things very well. Indeed, there was scarcely a trade known to the society of our grandfathers to which the farmer did not at some time or other find it necessary to turn his hand. Nearly everything needed by the farmer was produced within the circle of the fam- ions and combines upon which there is so much comment and speculation today. These combinations—trusts, in the aggregate, have become a monstrous barnacle upon society of which the farmer is an indispensable part. The farmers producing, selling and buying in an unorganized individual way in competition with each other while other lines of industry are doing the same in an organized, collective and co-operative way, are easy victims to these public plunderers. To show some of the results of his unorganized position I wish to quote from a series of articles by Henry M. Hyde, entitled, "Who Owns the Earth?" in the Technical World Magazine for January, 1909: "In 1870 there were only 3400 farms in the United States that embraced more than 1000 acres each. In 1880 this had been multiplied by nine—nearly 30,000. In 1900 the number of farms having more than 1000 acres had jumped to nearly 50,000—an increase of nearly 66 per cent." In 1880 twenty-five out of every hundred farmers in the United States were tenant farmers owning no land of their own; working for a landlord on shares or paying rental in some other way. Twenty years later the total number of farmers had increased by more than a million, but the number of tenant farmers had increased even more rapidly. In 1900 more than thirty-five and one-half out of every hundred were working land ably do pretty well. But how about the tenant farmer from whom they exact tribute? Surely, the interests of the farmer demands attention. We have an immense fight on our hands and no one will fight it but ourselves as farmers have had to do in the past. To meet the organizations and combinations that are arrayed against us in an individual way is as ridiculous as hopeless. Organization can be met only with organization. If any such presents itself there is where the farmer belongs; to stand out and against it is to trade in the camp of the enemy and be caught in its snare. No matter how many trials of successes or failures of such organizations in the past, it concerns us not. Organization and co-operation is the only alternative. Our cause is just. Farmers of the land unite, we have nothing to lose but the barnacle. Esberne K. Muller.
