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 as second-class matter. Has the Largest Circulation NO BOILER PLATE—NO DIRECT TAX The Gazette has been favored with a box of boiler plate from advocates of the San Francisco fair, the purpose of which, near as we have been able to learn by a hasty perusal of the printed sheet accompanying the consignment, is to deceive our readers into voting for the $5,000,000 direct tax for the fair at the November election—a proposition which we oppose tooth and nail. We are advised these consignments of boiler plate will be shipped to us weekly, free of charge, if we will consent to publish them in these columns. To be brief, we shall do nothing of the kind, and there's an end to the whole blooming business. We observe some of our exchanges are availing themselves of this opportunity of "filling up" their columns, and thereby abetting a plan to overburden their readers with unnecessary and ill-timed taxation, but which now feature the fair (in boiler-plate), whereas hitherto they have had not a word to say about it. An editor who would thus befuddle his does not, there might arise little objection to "endorsing" its proposed $10,000,000 bonds for the extension of its harbor facilities. But as was recently pointed out in these columns, only a small portion of its seawall is now in use, less than two miles, while the entire length of the wall is 16 miles. Let us wait until this space is taken up by the commerce of the port; it will be unwise to issue more bonds for its extension now. Vote down these bonds. There exists no need for them, and it is a crime to ask the people of the state at this time to "endorse" them. Vote them down. We notice in the Sawtelle Saucepan and others of the influential country newspapers of the crossroads articles furnished them by San Francisco fair boosters, advocating the $5,000,000 direct tax for the 1915 fair. These editors were at the $10 per plate Santa Barbara blowout, and the rich fodder has caused flatulence of their think tanks. Down with the direct tax, and the state road bonds. None of them for us. The Gazette is flooded with all sorts of political literature from aspirants to office which we cannot publish. One enterprising candidate for high judicial honors forwards a quantity of plate matter to be used in addition to letters endorsing him for the position he is seeking. We cannot publish these things, and candidates and the literary bureaus will save themselves unnecessary labor and expense by crossing us off their mailing lists. QUEEN EMELINE Editor Gazette.—Now that the Santa Ana carnival has passed into local history, it might be well to remind the proletariat of that city that they were in error, according to court We observe some of our exchanges are availing themselves of this opportunity of "filling up" their columns, and thereby abetting a plan to overburden their readers with unnecessary and ill-timed taxation, but which now feature the fair (in boiler-plate), whereas hitherto they have had not a word to say about it. An editor who would thus befuddle his readers is but little better than the man who placed the bomb which destroyed the Times office. We suggest that Detective Burns look over these newspapers for clues to the assassin's works. The Gazette uses no boiler-plate, much less that character of the stuff which seeks to deceive its readers. We are forenist the taxing of the people of Orange county for the support of a fair to be held in San Francisco. If the latter city cannot properly finance the show, let its citizens beat it to Alviso, there to ruminate upon the sorrows of the blooming sparrow which flew up the bloody spout. No boiler plate for us; no fair tax; no deception for the people. Vote down the $5,000,000 fair tax, of which Orange county will be mulcted in the penal sum of $67,000. Vote it down. Vote in down. DEFEAT THE STATE ROAD BONDS In another column will be found an interesting article from Secretary J. M. Eddy of the California Good Roads Association, on which he points out many radical defects in the proposed state bonding scheme, by which it is purposed to vote $18,000,000 of bonds for a system of state highways. Principal among the defects is the fact that, contrary to the county bonding measures, no system of highways has been laid out, and voters are entirely in the dark as to where this colossal sum of money will be expended. Another serious defect is that the city and county of San Francisco is exempted from paying interest upon these bonds, which will amount, in fifty years, the term for which the bonds run, to more than $20,000,000. Orange county has now before it a proposition to vote bonds for county highways, and probably early in the new year voters will be called upon to consider the issuance of a large amount of bonds for county highways. QUEEN EMELINE Editor Gazette.—Now that the Santa Ana carnival has passed into local history, it might be well to remind the proletariat of that city that they were in error, according to court etiquette, in referring to Queen Emeline the First. For there can be no Queen Emeline the First until there shall have been a Queen Emeline the second. The title of the beautiful queen of the carnival, therefore, shall be, according to the accepted royal fashion, not Queen Emeline the First, but simply Queen Emeline; and that is title enough for the handsomest queen the Santa Ana carnival ever produced. Yours, for royalty, Don Manuel. Tomato Springs, Oct. 8, 1910. UNCLAIMED LETTERS Mrs. Harvey Smith, Jesus Sabinas, Frank Wayman, Wm. Walter, Antonio Retez, Mr. Anderson, Jack Little, L.

BULLY FOR TRUITT The Anaheim Gazette, like its bigger brother, the Riverside Press, slurs at the country editors who went to Santa Barbara. He refers to them as the Downey Doughnut, the Norwalk Bazoo, the Eagle Rock Tail Feather, the San Fernando Cream Puff, etc., and intimates that because they are not great like the Gazette, that the opinions of their editors amount to Orange county has now before it a proposition to vote bonds for county highways, and probably early in the new year voters will be called upon to consider the issuance of a large amount of bonds for county highways. If both these measures should pass, this county will be doubly taxed for roads—first for its own system of highways, and next to support road building in the other counties of the state. We hope our readers will peruse this article attentively. This colossal bond issue should be defeated. As an indication of the manner in which San Francisco treats the rest of the state, it may be pointed out that, after demanding exemption from interest payments upon this road bond issue, it asks the state to vote a direct tax of $5,000,000 for its fair to be held in 1915; and also asks $10,000,000 for its seawall. Inasmuch as Anaheim will shortly have before it the question of issuing bonds for a sewer system, and as we shall also have to build another schoolhouse in a year or two to meet the growing demands of our expanding population, voters will do well to carefully consider these added burdens of taxation before giving them their approval. Vote against the state road bonds, the fair tax, and the seawall bonds. VOTE THEM DOWN If San Francisco really needed additional seawall frontage, which it 1910—FALL & WINTER—1911 OPENING SALE Thursday, October 20th, 1910, until Saturday, October 29th, 1910.
