GOOD ROADS COMMENT Fullerton, Wins—Victors Shout—Vanquished Retire—Vote Overwhelming for Bridges, but Only Enough for Roads—Lesson for Our County Commissioners in This BY A. A. MILLS After voting $130,000 for high school purposes on Friday last in the Fullerton union district, the friends of good roads in Fullerton followed this on Saturday by voting $14,000 for bridges and $132,000 for oil macadam roads, making $146,000 for the two latter propositions. The roads to be improved are: Spadra Road from the southern city limits, northerly on said road and what is commonly known as Whittier road to the northerly city limits. Commonwealth Avenue from the easterly line of a 60-foot road between sections 34 and 35, T3S, R10W, S.B.B. & M., in the city of Fullerton, westerly to the westerly city limits, also the easterly one-half of the public road along the westerly city limits, a distance of 0.25 miles from the westerly end of Commonwealth avenue pavement; Chapman avenue from the easterly line of the proposed Spadra road pavement, easterly to the easterly city limits. VICTORS AND VANQUISHED When the counting was finished, and the results made known, the band appeared and as it played some rollicking jolly music the victors formed an impromptu parade with automobiles, the horns of which giving forth loud and terrible noises. Other prominent gentlemen went home and early to bed. It was a great victory for good roads, and the entering wedge for good roads the county over. OUR SENATORIAL DISTRICT Orange May Be Alone in Reapportionment Assemblyman J. W. Hamilton of Petaluma has mailed out over the state copies of a plan he has formulated for the reapportionment of this state into senatorial and assembly districts. Under the plan submitted by Hamilton, Orange county would become a senatorial district in itself, which was one measure fought for successfully in the last legislature by Assemblyman Bishop; that is, it was fought for successfully in his house, the assembly. Bishop of Santa Ana got the apportionment bill through the lower house with a provision in it for making Orange county a separate senatorial district, but the reapportionment measure lost in the Senate, and the legislature adjourned without making a reapportionment. At present Riverside and Orange counties combined make one senatorial district. Assemblyman Hamilton's plan for giving this county recognition as a separate senatorial district meets with Assemblyman Bishop's approval. Bishop believes in the giving of county districts the fullest representation possible as compared with the centers of population. The fact that an extra session of the legislature will in all probability be called this fall makes this matter and Assemblyman Hamilton's plan of reapportionment of timely interest. Under his plan, Orange county with a population of 34,436 would be Senatorial District No. 38. Riverside and Imperial counties combined together would make No. 39, with San Bernardino and San Diego counties each a district. Orange county would continue as a separate assembly district, to be No. 76. nia is against woman suing those in jail particularly who are out. The big rests are against women and many banks are again say that there are now ters and they would, I choose the restrictions thiminate many of the pretters." Judge McNutt was fined Judge Church of Fresno "What suffragists are so is to incorporate in all feeling of justice and sensibility. This act of juvenia women cannot be coming. It is in the air of fate is writing it and stayed." Suffrage has permeated commercial districts of cities. Not only has it pitted it has been assimilated les, and as a result the October will be given over business houses to suffer in their windows.

Other prominent gentlemen went home and early to bed. It was a great victory for good roads, and the entering wedge for good roads the county over. THE VOTE On the bridge bonds the vote stood 290 for and 81 against, or better than three to one. On the paving bonds, the vote was 255 for and 107 against, only a safe margin over the two to one necessary. THE COUNTY PROPOSITION The above vote indicated that the sentiment was more favorable for the bridges than for paved roads, or that bridges without the paved roads would have carried. Our county highway commission upon the recommendation of their engineer, Halladay, proposed to have paved roads without bridges. As Halladay planned the proposition for Fullerton, it is to be hoped that he will get the idea and will not attempt to further folst a plan on the county with the bridges left out. If such a plan be favored it will certainly meet with defeat. WOMEN BECOMING VIOLENT Anti-Suffragette Association Gives Its Views Editor Gazette.—One of the strongest arguments against putting the ballot in the hands of the women, is the actions and excitement of the women themselves over this suffrage question. Letters are coming to us constantly from various parts of the state, expressing sympathy with our cause and protesting against the suffrage movement, and partly because of the violent and unwomanly actions of the women themselves who are advocating the cause. The following is a good sample of what we are receiving, this being from San Rafael: "Many of our women are being led away by female demagogues who coerce or insult those opposed to their pernicious doctrines. Many heretofore gentle, retiring women, are becoming violent, virulent and vituperative, noisy and unsexed. "We 'Antis' are opposed on the ground that the ballot granted women will unsex them, turn their interests from the welfare of the homes and the training of their children; be called this fall makes this matter and Assemblyman Hamilton's plan of reapportionment of timely interest. Under his plan, Orange county with a population of 34,436 would be Senatorial District No. 38. Riverside and Imperial counties combined together would make No. 39, with San Bernardino and San Diego counties each a district. Orange county would continue as a separate assembly district, to be No. 76. Assemblyman Hamilton who is very much interested in seeing that the country districts outside of the large cities have representation commensurate with their importance and immense interests has worked out a scheme of apportionment which appears from the standpoint of justice and legality to be very nearly correct. This reapportionment is based on the theory of giving greater representation per capita to the country districts over the large centers of population: San Francisco and Los Angeles. It is not desirable that these two cities should control the whole state and the enormous and diversified interests which it contains. The question of dividing the United States into congressional districts based on the 1910 census is now before congress. Congressman Sims of Tennessee on this same question of dividing the representation between the city and country districts forcibly states the argument as follows: "If I had the power to redistrict the states, I would put all the big districts in the cities and the little ones in the country, among the agricultural classes, the land owning classes, the classes who have made our institutions what they are and then will have to maintain them if they are to be maintained." While discrimination is made in favor of the country districts, the difference is not great and is strictly within the constitutional provisions; it follows the usual custom of apportionment representation between large cities and the country in favor of the country. The census gives California a total population of 2,377,549. This divided by 80, the number of assembly districts, gives an average population of 29,720 for the assembly districts and divided by 40 gives an average of 59,440 for the senatorial districts. The theory of reapportionment based on the 1910 census follows: San Francisco 616,912, twelve assembly districts, average 34,735; six central makes of confectionery tries.

Many heretofore gentle, retiring women, are becoming violent, virulent and vituperative, noisy and unsexed. "We 'Antis' are opposed on the ground that the ballot granted women will unsex them, turn their interests from the welfare of the homes and the training of their children; that they (women) will become coarse, and the effect on men will be to make them less chivalrous; also that the normal feminine mind is not fitted by nature to grasp political problems; that woman's influences in such municipal affairs as need her interference will be far greater without than with the ballot. "We also hold that the majority of women suffragists have no comprehension of what they are asking or of what this demand involves. Again, we hold that their attitude casts a slur on the ability, capacity, integrity and manhood of the nation." "Our best townswomen, those of culture, education and refinement, are determinedly opposed to the suffrage movement." The very fact that women are determined to bring in their little personalities and show antagonism and intolerance to all those who oppose their views in this matter, even of their closest friends, is sufficient argument in itself why the ballot in their hands would be unsafe. Most women seem to be incapable of looking at things in a broad-minded impersonal way, and of taking things calmly when beaten. Anti-Suffragist. Arguments Advanced in Favor of Political Equality Editor Gazette.—Every day men of public standing are rallying to the suffrage standard in Southern California. On August 12th Judge Cyrus McNutt a man prominent in the up-building of the southern part of the state gave an address in the headquarters of the California political equality league. He exploded the "Might-is-Right" argument of the anti-suffragists by saying, "Not in its force but in the consent of the governed lies the country's power. Not ten per cent of the American voters are entitled to fight. From 18 to 45 are the fighting years, three before the men may vote and only 24 warrior years after he has attained his majority." Judge McNutt said further, "Let me say now and forcibly that every crook in Califor- ANAHEIM GAZETTE nia is against woman suffrage, not those in jail particularly, but those who are out. The big corporate interests are against woman suffrage, and many banks are against it. They say that there are now too many voters and they would, if they could choose the restrictions themselves, eliminate many of the present men voters." Judge McNutt was followed by Judge Church of Fresno who said:—"What suffragists are striving to do is to incorporate in all women the feeling of justice and sense of responsibility. This act of justice to California women cannot be long in forthcoming. It is in the air and the hand of fate is writing it and cannot be stayed." Suffrage has permeated to the commercial districts of California cities. Not only has it permeated but it has been assimilated in Los Angeles, and as a result the first week in October will be given over by the big business houses to suffrage displays in their windows. Woman in every stage of evolution will be pictured in the big stores on Broadway and on Spring. In working up this idea the committees who have had the work in charge have met with the greatest encouragement in their endeavor from the business managers. The candy stores have already consented to a "Votes-for-Women" sundae, special makes of confectionery and pastries. The caterers are planning special dishes for the week, and every store will be decorated with the pennants and posters of the suffragists. San Francisco will have its suffrage display between the 21st and 28th of this month. Business men of prominence who have affirmed their support of amendment No. 8, in Los Angeles this week are B. F. Coulter and J. R. Newberry, both men who have not only won a fortune in the commercial circles of DRY FARMING CONGRESS Meets at Colorado Springs in October Farmers of the United States needlessly threw away 8,896,000 bushels of wheat this year, not to mention an enormous loss in other farm products simply because they failed to prepare against drought by taking steps to keep moisture in the soil. This is the declaration of Secretary John T. Burns of the International Dry Farming Congress, who is now preparing to conduct the sixth congress, which meets in Colorado Springs next October. Mr. Burns had just read the report of the United States Department of Agriculture for August, showing that loss under the 1911 crop. Before him lay a sheaf of wheat raised by J. M. Bradshaw of Peyton, Col., who has just threshed an average of 20 bushels per acre from 100 acres, patches in which ran as high as 57 bushels. On the Bradshaw land only four inches of moisture fell from the time this wheat was planted, September 2, to the day it was cut, July 15, and there is not a live stream in 25 miles. This land was summer tillered, that is carefully cultivated and the weeds kept down the summer before it was planted. This is one of the tenats of scientific dry-farming as taught by the congress. It is applicable to every part of the land, says Mr. Burns. The average of all wheat in the U.S. according to the government is only 14.5 bushels, and the quality is 92 as against 92.6 of last year. So there is nothing wrong with the 1911 wheat but lack of moisture. "Every farmer in the land could have done as Mr. Bradshaw did with his little four inches of rainfall, had he been intelligent enough to study dry-farming methods and willing to do the necessary work," declares Burns. "Some day they will prepare to meet drouth as they do all other adverse phenomena of nature, and overcome School children's eyes should be taken care of. Have them tested free at Hartfield's.

Cash Dividend of 50 PER CENT So. California Enterprise Proves Good Profit Payer to Its Stockholders — Advance in Shares The superb record of 50 per cent in cash dividends is the proud boast of "HOME BUILDERS" stockholders. This great cash distribution represents the dividend earnings during the past three and one half years, so it is no wonder that the stock of this concern has shown a steady upward march in price. Business men of prominence who have affirmed their support of amendment No. 8, in Los Angeles this week are B. F. Coulter and J. R. Newberry, both men who have not only won a fortune in the commercial circles of the city, but also the respect of their community. J. T. Fitzgerald of the Fitzgerald music company, and F. D. Jones of the Jones book store, are other supporters who declare that their vote will be cast for the amendment enfranchising women. When a Sacramento dispatch stating that, owing to errors in filing, several of the amendments referred to the people by the last legislature were in danger of going by default, every suffragist in the state turned her attention to Sacramento. Over phone and wire went messages to Secretary Jordan, asking just what had happened and why. Some suffragists affirmed that it was a carelessness not to be forgiven. Others hinted at opposition, and still others grasped the opportunity to use the error as a fresh argument for the introduction of a new and capable class of voters into the commonwealth. The deduction from the flurry can be but one thing, and that is that the women of the state are not only struggling for the ballot for themselves, but they know exactly what is going on in the way of government, whether it be at the state capitol or in their own town or city. PEARL IS A BAD GIRL Sets Fire to Detention Home, Slides Down Sewer Pipe Pearl Hewitt, aged 13, of Newport Beach, and Lyman Dusenbury, aged 10, of Fullerton, used coal oil to set a fire in a bedroom of the detention home at Santa Ana on Sunday evening with the intention of destroying the building. Discovering the flames before they had spread far, L. H.Hill, the superintendent, put them out with a stream from the fire-hose of the building. When sent to the home a week ago the girl told other children that she would get even with the court by either poisoning Hill's baby or by burning the house. It is thought the girl planned the fire. Lyman got a bottle of coal oil from a can left by a painter, and speaked it into the house. He went BUENA PARK AND VICINITY Mr. and Mrs. George Wilcox and family left Tuesday for Coldwater Canyon in the San Bernardino mountains, where they expect to spend the week. They will make the trip in their powerful White Steamer. Mr. and Mrs. George Thomas have returned from a pleasant sojourn at Coronado and San Diego. Mrs. C. H. Newcombe entertained with a week-end party upon her return from Ocean Park. Among the out-of-town guests present were Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Perkins of San Bernardino, Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Stone of Long Beach, and Geo. E. Lillie of Fullerton. Others that enjoyed the hospitality of "Newcombe Place" were Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Cole and Miss Alleene Keeler. Miss Clara Schultz of Los Angeles left during the week for her home after having spent several weeks as the guest of Mrs. Geo. E. Gill. The plans and preparations for the Harvest Festival are very much in evidence. Neither time or expense will be spared by the committee in charge. One attractive feature will be the farm produce contest in which everyone has an equal chance to win one of the ribbons given for the best exhibit in this class. The festival will last from the 7th to the 9th of September and promises to be a big success. Mrs. George H. Warren is enjoying a pleasant sojourn at Alpine Tavern in company with friends. Beginning with last Sunday there will be evening services held at the Congregational church. The Reverend Dyer will act as pastor during the ensuing year. ARTESIA Artesia Sewer District No. 1 on Thursday voted $5500 bonds by a vote of 27 to 1. These bonds will be offered for sale, and when sold the Good Profit Payer to Its Stockholders — Advance in Shares The superb record of 50 per cent in cash dividends is the proud boast of "HOME BUILDERS" stockholders. This great cash distribution represents the dividend earnings during the past three and one half years, so it is no wonder that the stock of this concern has shown a steady upward march in price. One thousand shares bought three and a half years ago has earned $526.13 in cash dividends, and the value of the thousand shares has gone from one dollar each or $1000, to $2.30, each, or $2,300.00, which if you add the cash received, the investment will show a profit of over 175 per cent. The great value of an investment is in its earnings—provided it is safe. Purely speculative ventures promise big profit, but here is an investment which is certainly as profitable as any one could ask, and, at the same time, is as near absolutely safe as business ingenuity can devise. This investment and building enterprise is growing right along with regular Southern CalifoFnia rest. It has piled up a surplus of almost a third of a million dollars, and the shareowner, besides the assurance of a stable company has a guaranty which further protects his investment. Shares are going to advance Saturday night September second, and the Los Angeles office of the company, Ground Floor, Mason Opera House building, as well as their local Branch office at 120 East Center street, is a busy place right now, booking subscriptions in anticipation of the raise.

Hill, the superintendent, put them out with a stream from the fire-hose of the building. When sent to the home a week ago the girl told other children that she would get even with the court by either poisoning Hill's baby or by burning the house. It is thought the girl planned the fire. Lyman got a bottle of coal oil from a can left by a painter, and sneaked it into the house. He went upstairs presumably to take a bath. The Hewitt girl slipped away from the matron and children, and joined him in the northwest bedroom. Lyman poured the coal oil on the bed and the girl struck the match. They then joined the children in the playground. Mrs. Hill detected the smoke, and called "fire," at the same time hurrying the children from the building. After Hill had put out the fire it was found that the floor was partially burned. The children were lined up. "Who started that fire?" demanded Hill. "I swear I didn't," said Pearl. "I didn't," declared Lyman quickly. "You are the two I want," said Hill, and he locked them in their rooms. Pearl got out of a window, and was sliding down the sewer pipe when the matron caught her. The girl will be sent to the state school at Whittier. Beginning with last Sunday there will be evening services held at the Congregational church. The Reverend Dyer will act as pastor during the ensuing year. ARTESIA Artesia Sewer District No. 1 on Thursday voted $5500 bonds by a vote of 27 to 1. These bonds will be offered for sale, and when sold the sewers will be let to contract and laid to serve the district, bounded by a line 125 feet outside of First, Baker, Fifth and Artesia streets. The bonds bear interest at five per cent and will run eleven years, payable $500 per year. There was at no time any strong opposition to sewer the district under the district plan. The people got together at a mass meeting and discussed the proposition. Figures as to cost were presented by Sewer Superintendent Reid, and the people present voted to ask the city trustees to call the election for bonds, which election resulted in carrying the bonds by a vote of 27 to 1. There are forty-two voters in the district. On all shoes, dry goods, notions, shirt waists and underwear, big reduction from Wednesda,y August 23, to Saturday, Sept. 2, 1911. Buy your goods now.
