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 A DISTINCTION AND A DIFFERENCE The editor of our esteemed contemporary, the San Fernando Doughnut, argues that because the editor of the Gazette attended Mr. Stanton's luncheon at the Jonathan club and thereafter supported him in his aspirations for the governorship, that therefore the Doughnut, which was in the herd at the $10 per plate blowout at Santa Barbara, has the same moral right to lift up his voice and bray for the $5,000,000 direct tax for the San Francisco exposition. We think not. Here's the difference: The editor of the Gazette accepted Mr. Stanton's hospitality, having already announced his support of his candidacy as the only Southern California man up for the office, and we were under no obligations, explicit or implied, to continue in such support as a result of the function. The invitations were plain upon this point, as the Doughnut man knows. Had we the purpose of discussing the Panama-Pacific world's fair to be held at San Francisco in 1915, it insinuates that the representatives of the different papers will now be in favor of all the bond issues that the state proposes to submit to the people at the November election.Wrong again, Brother Kuchel. The editors were not committed to the support of any bond issue, but to propose to lend all aid possible in having the fair held in California instead of New Orleans. Had the editor of the Gazette accepted the invitation sent him to be present at the meeting he would now be in a position to talk more intelligently, and not by insinuations, throw cold water on an undertaking which promises to be the greatest event for the upbuilding of the whole state.—San Fernando Press THOSE BONDING SCHEMES As the November election draws near, it will be well for voters to recall the fact that a number of bonding schemes will be presented to them for ratification or rejection at the polls. First and foremost of these is the proposition to issue $18,000,000 for a system of state highways. We have hitherto pointed out the manifold objections hedging about this scheme, principal among which are (1) that no system of highways has been decided upon, as in the case of county road-bonding measures, and therefore it is not nown where this money will be expended, and (2) that the city and county of San Francisco is by a cunningly worded clause exempted from paying any portion of the interest of this indebtedness. These bonds run for fifty years, and the interest will amount to more than $20,000,000. This re- A COSTLY AMERICA Constitutional Amendments, which the people on at the general election stands to cost if it be approved by which has already been drawn the amendments amount. To begin with, they drawn by a commission upon it for five days. During the first year of the fiscal year ending this commission, known mission on Revenue Out, independent of secretary and its members 1907, $6427.80; in 1909, $4032.07; in 1910, $4032.07; in 1911, $4032.07; in 1912, $4032.07; in 1913, $4032.07; in 1914, $4032.07; in 1915, $4032.07; in 1916, $4032.07; in 1917, $4032.07; in 1918, $4032.07; in 1919, $4032.07; in 1920, $4032.07; in 1921, $4032.07; in 1922, $4032.07; in 1923, $4032.07; in 1924, $4032.07; in 1925, $4032.07; in 1926, $4032.07; in 1927, $4032.07; in 1928, $4032.07; in 1929, $4032.07; in 1930, $4032.07; in 1931, $4032.07; in 1932, $4032.07; in 1933, $4032.07; in 1934, $4032.07; in 1935, $4032.07; in 1936, $4032.07; in 1937, $4032.07; in 1938, $4032.07; in 1939, $4032.07; in 1940, $4032.07; in 1941, $4032.07; in 1942, $4032.07; in 1943, $4032.07; in 1944, $4032.07; in 1945, $4032.07; in 1946, $4032.07; in 1947, $4032.07; in 1948, $4032.07; in 1949, $4032.07; in 1950, $4032.07; in 1951, $4032.07; in 1952, $4032.07; in 1953, $4032.07; in 1954, $4032. bray for the $5,000,000 direct tax for the San Francisco exposition. We think not. Here's the difference: The editor of the Gazette accepted Mr. Stanton's hospitality, having already announced his support of his candidacy as the only Southern California man up for the office, and we were under no obligations, explicit or implied, to continue in such support as a result of the function. The invitations were plain upon this point, as the Doughnut man knows. Had we favored the nomination of one of the other numerous candidates, we should not have attended. But favoring Mr. Stanton's nomination as we did, we felt no moral terpitude in placing our feet under his table. With the Doughnut man it is different. He never heard of the $5,000,000 direct tax for the fair until the fair boosters informed him of it, and filling him with a $10 feed at Mr. Potter's hotel, told him to go home and raise up his voice for the tax. This tax will, if carried, mulct Los Angeles county in excess of one million dollars; Orange county's share is $67,000. Our attendance upon Mr. Stanton's luncheon cost the taxpayers nothing; the Doughnut's attitude upon the fair tax stands to cost the people dearly. The two situations are not analogous. On the contrary, quite the reverse. LITERARY BUREAUS ACTIVE Probably never in the history of California were so many literary bureaus actively engaged in an effort to fill the newspapers of the state with arguments in behalf of claims of candidates to office and for the bonding measures now before the people for their endorsement or rejection. Ventures in oil are likewise not altogether without their literary bureaus, and malls are laden with information of big strikes to eventuate in this field or that. Where all these things come from it is easy to discover, and the pity of it is that so many of the country newspapers, seeming at a loss to fill their columns with more interesting matter, publish these letters by wholesale. From San Francisco, moreover, come boxes of plate matter boosting the direct tax for the fair, and these we note with regret are given a place in the columns of some of our contemporaries. We have in this office several boxes of these plates consigned to the scrap heap, for the matter therein contained is in direct conflict with our views upon this scheme to overburden the mainhead about this scheme, principal among which are (1) that no system of highways has been decided upon, as in the case of county road-bonding measures, and therefore it is not nown where this money will be expended, and (2) that the city and county of San Francisco is by a cunningly worded clause exempted from paying any portion of the interest of this indebtedness. These bonds run for fifty years, and the interest will amount to more than $20,000,000. This relieves a quarter of the entire state valuation from this obligation, and makes it just that much more burdenome upon the other counties of the state. If Orange county shall next year vote bonds for a county system of highways, we shall, in the event this state bonding scheme carries, be doubly taxed—first to maintain our own system of highways and next to pay for construction of roads in other counties. The scheme should be defeated. Powerful agencies are at work in favor of this gigantic indebtedness. San Francisco may naturally be expected to vote solidly in favor of the issue. Let us as solidly vote against it. We hope there will not be a vote in its favor in Orange county. Two other bonding schemes will also be submitted to the consideration of voters at the election. One is for $1,000,000 to purchase the India basin in San Francisco, and the next is to vote $9,000,000 for extending the seawall in that city. We have printed many columns upon these bonding measures, and point out the fact that the San Francisco harbor league is opposed to the India basin bonds,and the San Francisco harbor improvement association is opposed to the $9,000,000 seawall grab. The San Francisco merchants association tells us these bonds will be paid out of the seawall tolls, and that there will be no charge for the taxpayers of the state to pay. We shall follow the advice of the harbor league and the harbor improvement association, and vote No in both instances. Another money grab is the $5,000,000 direct tax for the San Francisco fair in 1915. If this should carry, Orange county will be mulcted in $67-000 as its share of this indebtedness. This amount of money would go far toward paying for a sewer system in Anaheim, and it is sufficient to build a couple of schoolhouses. We advise our readers to vote No on this amendment. Another amendment, which must be about this scheme, principal among which are (1) that no system of highways has been decided upon, as in the case of county road-bonding measures, and therefore it is not nown where this money will be expended, and (2) that the city and county of San Francisco is by a cunningly worded clause exempted from paying any portion of the interest of this indebtedness. These bonds run for fifty years, and the interest will amount to more than $20,000,000. This relieves a quarter of the entire state valuation from this obligation, and makes it just that much more burdenome upon the other counties of the state.

If this should carry Orange county will be mulcted in $67,000 as its share of this indebtedness. This amount of money would go far toward paying for a sewer system in Anaheim, and it is sufficient to build a couple of schoolhouses. We advise our readers to vote No on this amendment. Another amendment, which must be ratified by the voters of the state, gives San Francisco the authority to vote $5,000,000 bonds for the fair. After the people ratify the amendment, San Francisco has a swing at it, and it may vote the bonds or not as it pleases. There can be no objection to this amendment, although the San Francisco fair tax leaves a bad taste in the mouth. While voters are voting No upon these colossal schemes of public indebtedness, let them not forget Senate amendment No. 1, separating state from local taxation, which if enacted into law would exempt railroads and all other corporations from paying taxes for the payment of a dollar of all these bonds. Vote it down. Vote them all down. California lemons have jumped 10 cents in the past ten days and will go 10 more, to 50 cents a dozen, prophesy New York dealers, for next week. Not in years has the humble lemon been so sought for. Italian cholera is the cause. There are a plenty of lemons in Naples, but the liners have ceased to call there, waiting an abatement of the plague. Consequently the American lemon comes high. Union Brewing Company is selling bottled beer at 90 cents per dozen. A COSTLY AMENDMENT Constitutional Amendment Number One, which the people are to vote upon at the general election in November, stands to cost this state dearly if it be approved by the people, all of which has already been pointed out in these columns. But the cost of drawing the amendment totals a generous amount. To begin with, the amendment was drawn by a commission which worked upon it for five years. During the first year of its being, the fiscal year ending June 30, 1906, this commission, known as the Commission on Revenue and Taxation, paid out, independent of salaries of its secretary and its members, $4250.13; in 1907, $6427.80; in 1908, $4517.04; in 1909, $4032.07; in 1910, $1850.40, making a total of $21,077.44. Prof. C. C. Plehn has acted as secretary of the commission. He started out with a salary of $200 a month, which he drew from May, 1905, to March, 1907, a total of $3260. In March, 1907, his salary was increased to $250 a month, which he drew till April, 1909, making a total of $6175. On July 20, 1910, his salary began again at the $250 rate, and down to August 31 he had drawn $346 making a total of $9781. But this is not all. From 1907 down to the present time the commissioners have drawn as their salaries $20,000. Five thousand of this has gone to "Constitutional" John Curtin, the senator representing the district comprising Madera, Mariposa, Merced, Stanislaus and Tuolumne counties; $5000 has gone to Senator H. S. G. McCartney, who attained some fame, if not notoriety, at the last session of the legislature, when the story was published on him that Y.M.C.A. ACTIVITY New Secretary of Organization Arrives from New Jersey The county committee has called Merritt W. Ludden of Ridgewood, New Jersey, to become county secretary of the Orange county Y.M.C.A. Mr. Ludden is a young man, thoroughly equipped, with a strong personality and an experience in association work that makes his coming among us an occasion of rejoicing upon the part of all Orange county citizens. Mr. Ludden graduated from Pomona college, Claremont in 1902. As a student he entered fully into the student activities. Not only was he a leader in the college Y.M.C.A., but was prominent as a debater, and a crack tennis player. The associated students honored him with the editorship of the college paper and elected him to manager of the track team of 1902. Upon graduation Mr. Ludden took a post graduate course in the university of California and left the same year to become teacher of English in the national schools of Japan in which work he remained four years. In 1906 he returned to America to enter association work and came into the secretaryship through the 23d street branch, New York, where he remained one year and a half. His next field was in the Bowery branch, New York City, where for fifteen months his experiences were unique in association work Following this Mr. Ludden became general secretary of the Ridgewood, N. J., Y.M.C.A. from which association he was called to accept the general secretaryship of Orange county. Mr. Ludden has had great success as a leader of boys and as an expert will be of daily help to all those leaders who have the best in information. CUTS PRICES OF 2 CARS E-M-F Company takes First Step in "Revolution" in Auto Industry, Reducing "30" to $1000 from $1250, and "20" to $700 The first definite step in the much heralded talk about the impending revolution in the automobile industry was taken yesterday by the E-M-F Co. of this city in the shape of a sweeping reduction in the prices of the two standard cars manufactured by it for the 1911 output. The reduction is to take immediate effect. The E-M-F "thirty," which has herefore sold for $1250, has been reduced to $1000, and the Flanders "twenty" has been reduced from $750 to $700. It is the understanding that this reduction from the list price will in no way affect the dealers' discounts. In view of the bargain sales offered by some other manufacturers to reduce their stock of old cars, this move upon the part of the E-M-F Co. cannot but have a marked effect upon other companies and the automobile trade in general. Inflation of Values Stops Among other things it shows that there has been a decided drop in the cost of materials and that cars of proven durability and workmanship can be sold for reasonable prices. For the last two years the industry has been afflicted with inflated values, brought about by the rush for material, which reached the stage where companies were willing to bid against each other in order to secure the preference. The reaction has set in; in fact, it began settling some time ago, and the market is now back to normal. Pig iron is cheaper and now there will be a decided drop in rub- But this is not all. From 1907 down to the present time the commissioners have drawn as their salaries $20,000. Five thousand of this has gone to "Constitutional" John Curtin, the senator representing the district comprising Madera, Mariposa, Merced, Stanislaus and Tuolumne counties; $5000 has gone to Senator H. S. G. McCartney, who attained some fame, if not notoriety, at the last session of the legislature, when the story was published on him that he had put his mother-in-law on the legislative payroll at a salary of $3 a day, as porter. This makes a total of $50,858.44 which it has cost to prepare Constitutional Amendment No 1 for the consideration of the voters. This does not include the cost of publication, or of the extra session that was called to correct an error that had been made in the measure, and the thousand and one incidental expenses that the taxpayers of this state have had to meet because of it. But this is not the worst of this amendment, which the interests are moving heaven and earth to carry. The amendment exempts railroads and all other corporations from assessments for all future bond issues. If Anaheim should vote bonds for a new schoolhouse, or a sewer system, roads, the railroads, electric car lines or Orange county vote bonds for good and all corporations would be exempted from paying a dollar of taxes thereupon. Vote it down. APPEAL TO REPUBLICANS Editor Gazette.'—Never before in its history has the republican party in the state of California been in such great need of the loyal support of all patriotic republicans and others who consider first the general welfare of the people. The past few years have witnessed a gigantic struggle within the ranks of the party—the struggle for control between the representatives of the people on one side and the representatives of such corporations as have become notorious by reason of their utter disregard of the civil and criminal laws of the land and the needs of common humanity. The decent element of the party has triumphed and it is now the duty of the people to support that element. There is but one issue before the voters of this state today which overshadows all others, and that is:—Shall the people control their own government or shall that government be again relegated to the tender merger and a half. His next field was in the Bowery branch, New York City, where for fifteen months his experiences were unique in association work Following this Mr. Ludden became general secretary of the Ridgewood, N. J., Y.M.C.A. from which association he was called to accept the general secretaryship of Orange county. Mr. Ludden has had great success as a leader of boys and as an expert will be of daily help to all those leaders who have the best interests of the boys and young men of Orange county at heart. Mrs.Ludden has been engaged in Christian work for many years and entered heartily with Mr. Ludden into the work to which they have been called. They have taken a residence in Fullerton and will keep open house to the boys and girls of Orange county. FIRE AT OLINDA A fire at the Santa Fe oil lease at Olinda on Tuesday destroyed 3 oil derricks and caused damages estimated at $50,000. Judgment has been entered in the superior court infavor of the Southern California Music Co. and against M. W. Skinner of this city for $380, $26.40 interest and $33 attorney's fees. The case was tried at Santa Ana by Judge Oster of San Bernardino county. Skinner received a $405 plano from the music company and paid $25. The company sued for the remainder, and Skinner contested. A deed transferring 2520 acres from J. S. Torrance to the Union Oil Co. was recorded on Tuesday. All of the property, which is described in twelve parcels, lies in township 3 south, range 10 west, in the oilfields sections south of the county line. One of the parcels carries waterstock in the La Habra Water Co. The deed was signed on Aug. 1, 1910. Tactful and delicate, even for a Frenchman, was the reply made by a Parisian who had not found "life on the ocean wave" all for which one could wish. He was sinking, pale and haggard, into his steamer chair when his neighbor cheerily asked: "Have you breakfasted, monsieur?" "No, m'siur," answered the Frenchman with a wan smile, "I have not breakfasted. On the contrary." She—Did I understand you to say that your friend Brown was thirsting for glory? He—Well, not exactly. I said he had a glorious thirst. proven durability and workmanship can be sold for reasonable prices. For the last two years the industry has been afflicted with inflated values, brought about by the rush for material, which reached the stage where companies were willing to bid against each other in order to secure the preference. The reaction has set in; in fact, it began settling some time ago, and the market is now back to normal. Pig iron is cheaper and now there will be a decided drop in rubber, so that companies which have the manufacturing facilities are able to take advantage of existing conditions. The fact that the E-M-F company is able to lop off $250 from the price of its "thirty" car is regarded as little less than sensational and can only be accounted for by the fact that the company manufactures the car complete. There have been very few minor changes in this car and instead of a new model every year it has become a standard, and is so recognized. Another pertinent fact is that the company is backed by the Morgan interests, and the reduction in the price of cars can be taken to mean that it is seeking to broaden its market. To Increase Output It is assuring to find instead of retrenching the company is preparing to increase its output. An immense addition to plant No. 1 on Piquette avenue is just being completed and for 1911 the output will be 30,000 cars. Walter E. Flanders, president of the companyy and the wizard of the automobile industry, is responsible for the new order of things and in making the announcement yesterday he very frankly discussed the details of the situation. "Let me say to you," he said, "that we will be able to make the same margin of profit at the reduced cost as we were two years ago. We now have an investment of $7,000,000, every cent of which is paid, and we enjoy unlimited financial resources. In addition to this we have a highly developed manufacturing and selling organization and we are able to turn out every day 80 cars of the "thirty" type and 125 Flanders cars, so you see we are not carrying any burden. "Again, we are very heavy buyers of raw materials and enjoy facilities by reason of that which very few companies can touch. It has always been my aim to produce the best value possible for a reasonable price and the fact that there are now 18,000 of their utter disregard of the civil and criminal laws of the land and the needs of common humanity. The decent element of the party has triumphed and it is now the duty of the people to support that element. There is but one issue before the voters of this state today which overshadows all others, and that is:—Shall the people control their own government or shall that government be again relegated to the tender mercies of trust and railroad hirelings. The people of California should lay aside all other issues and support the state republican ticket, remembering always, however, that a candidate's character is of more importance than his political affiliations, and should, therefore, be considered first. H. V. Welsel. The Fall and Winter opening sale of Stern & Goodman, Fullerton, took place Thursday, Oct. 20, 1910; grand instrumental concert was rendered by Schoneman-Blanchard string orchestra of Los Angeles and many new pieces of music were introduced. A large crowd gathered at the beautifully decorated store, enjoyed the music and decorations. The store was handsomely decorated in green with flowers, plants and pepper wreaths and green crepe paper; it all looked like a large park. On display this enterprising firm had all the new and latest merchandise in every department. A large crowd attended and took advantage of the many different articles on sale and display. The Opening Sale is a monstrous success. This Fall Opening Sale will run until Saturday, Oct. 29, 1910. For Sale—Winningstead cabbage plants.

"Again, we are very heavy buyers of raw materials and enjoy facilities by reason of that which very few companies can touch. It has always been my aim to produce the best value possible for a reasonable price and the fact that there are now 18,000 "thirty" cars in use indicates that we have succeeded pretty well. We make our own drop forgings, motors, bodies and tops and do our own stamping, so we are absolutely independent. Manufacturing Cost Reduced "Now as to present conditions.The price of materials has dropped. It had to drop because we had been having inflated values. In producing a perfected car in large quantities the manufacturing cost has been reduced and we found that for 1911 we could reduce the price and maintain the standard. "I have never believed in changing the shape of a door or using different colored paint in order to bring forth a so-called new model. We add any improvement just as soon as its worth is proven, but it goes with the car. Our aim has been to produce a standard car and we have reached a stage where we guarantee our cars for a year. The reduction in price takes immediate effect and today we have not a car on hand. Although we are busy I doubt if there are any unsold cars in the hands of the dealers."
