COMMISSION SYSTEM IS IDEAL GOVERNMENT BOARD OF TRADE ORATORS PUT UP CONVINCING ARGUMENT Affirmative Won in Spiritual Debate At Monday Night's Meeting—"Resolved, That All Public Work On Streets Should Be Let by Contract to Lowest Bidder," Subject for the Next Debate—Protection for Sugar Industry Demanded—Other Notes That our present system of municipal government is unsatisfactory and that Anaheim should join the procession of "progressives" and keep pace with the progress of the age by adopting the commission form was the conclusion reached by the board of trade on Monday night after listening for half an hour to the o.a.itors who had previously been selected to debate the question. Charles Eygabroad and Herman Stern were the affirmative speakers, Oscar Renner and A. A. Mills being slated for the negative, but Mr. Renner withdrew on the grounds that he was not sufficiently versed on the subject to discuss it, and yielded his time to his colleague. After listening to the arguments advanced for and against the board declared by its votes that the commission system would be an ideal one for Anaheim agent offering 350 maps of Orange county for $25 was referred to the publicity committee. Messrs. Renner and Mills agreed to chaperon a representative party to the associated chambers of commerce meeting which was held at Santa Ana last night. A SHAM ELECTION A sham election will be held by representative ladies of Anaheim at Odd Fellows hall on Saturday, March 30. The polls will open at 1:15 p.m. and close at 4 p.m. This election is for the purpose of educating the new citizens in the new duties that have been placed upon their shoulders. To meet necessary expenses the ladies exercising the rights of the ballot on this occasion will be charged five cents each. It is earnestly requested that every lady in the town, regardless of religion or occupation who has registered or who expects to register, will take part in this election. It is purely educational and is for all, regardless of situation in life. Election board, Mrs. F. C. Speer, Mrs. A. C. Pearson, Mrs. Homer Calkins, Mrs. A. A. Mills, Mrs. E. B.

Mills being slated for the negative, but Mr. Renner withdrew on the grounds that he was not sufficiently versed on the subject to discuss it, and yielded his time to his colleague. After listening to the arguments advanced for and against the board declared by its votes that the commission system would be an ideal one for Anaheim—or, at least, that the affirmative speakers had the best of it in the discussion. The subject selected for debate at the next regular meeting is, "Resolved, that all public work on streets should be let by contract to the lowest bidder." Messrs. Eygabroad and Stern will again champion the question, and Trustees Stark and Nebelung were appointed by Chairman Beebe to uphold the negative. The imminent danger to Orange county's sugar industry by the threatened reduction of the duty on raw sugar by congress was brought to the front by the introduction of a resolution by J. W. Duckworth protesting against the passage of the bill now pending. It was adopted and a copy ordered mailed to each of California's senators and representatives. Following is the resolution: Resolved, That the Anaheim Board of Trade enters its protest against the passage of the bill introduced in congress providing for the reduction or abolition of the duty on raw sugar. We do not believe that the enactment of the proposed law would result in benefit to the consumer and about the only people who would be benefitted by this revolutionary measure would be the cane sugar refiners. The danger to be feared from the passage of such a law is especially felt by the beet sugar growers of California. This board particularly realizes the great benefits which have flowed into all channels of trade by reason of the erection of the beet sugar factory at Anaheim last year. It gives employment to hundreds of men, skilled and unskilled, at highly remunerative wages; it provides a profitable market for beets grown by hundreds of farmers in this country on lands peculiarly adapted to the raising of that crop, and ill fitted for the production of any other crop. To allow raw sugar to be admitted into this country free of duty would paralyze this industry not only in Anaheim but throughout California.

It gives employment to hundreds of men, skilled and unskilled, at highly remunerative wages; it provides a profitable market for beets grown by hundreds of farmers in this county on lands peculiarly adapted to the raising of that crop, and ill fitted for the production of any other crop. To allow raw sugar to be admitted into this country free of duty would paralyze this industry not only in Anaheim but throughout California. We cannot contemplate with complacency any action of congress which would destroy the business of the five sugar factories in this (Orange) county, and thereby bring disaster to the farmers who furnish the beets and to the working men who transform that product into sugar. We believe that legislation should be so shaped as to conserve the interest and welfare of the manufacturer and farmer and workingman of our own country, and that such protection should be afforded them as will make it unnecessary for them to compete with conditions which prevail in the less favored countries of Europe. Chairman Duckworth, of the Booster brigade, announced that he would be able to make a complete report of the trip at the next meeting. Everybody to whom it was mentioned endorsed the move, and he believed that more than a hundred enthusiastic Anaheimers would be in line and assist in making the Mother Colony more intimate with her Orange county neighbors. A full report of the number of persons, and autos, the route and stops will be made at the next meeting. A proposition from a Santa Ana we deem of vital importance. We are in favor of co-operating with and rendering all the assistance possible to the board of trade in pushing forward and thoroughly advertising our city, to the end that industrial plants may be induced to locate here and that we get our share of the emigration that comes to this favored southland every year. In a word, we are in favor of making Anaheim what from her position and favorable surroundings she is entitled to be, the most progressive and thriving city in Orange county. We are in favor of pushing to a successful conclusion, as near as practicable, the plans of the present board in completing the sewer system. We favor the improvement of the streets in a permanent manner as fast as possible and of cleaning up the alleys. We favor the establishment of and maintenance of a public park by the city as soon as funds are available for that purpose. While we are not prohibitionists we are not owned or controlled by the liquor interests of the city, and believe in the American principle, "Let the people rule" and will endeavor to carry out the wishes of the people so far as known. We favor an economical administration of the affairs of the city, and the employment, as far as possible, of our own citizens for all public work. Shout you, the voters of the city of Anaheim, see fit to commit to us the responsibilities of the office of city trustee we pledge to you that to the best of our ability we will ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1912 LOCAL BEET GROWERS JOIN IN PROTEST FREE RAW IMPORTATIONS MEN-ACE TO INDUSTRY Petitions to Be Forwarded Congress In Opposition to House Democratic Schedule—Strong Reasons Given Why Tariff Should Be Maintained on Imports of Foreign Sugar—State Convention of Sugar Men Will Probably Be Held in San Francisco—Of Vital Importance In all beet-growing sections of Orange county as well as elsewhere throughout the state, a campaign to be characterized by great vigor is shaping up in opposition to placing imported sugar on the free list. At present there are large beet sugar factories in the counties of Monteey, Santa Cruz, Ventura, San Bernardino, Alameda, Santa Barbara, Orange, Glenn, Tulare and Kings. Each of these is the center of regions that have been made prosperous and more populous solely because the raising of beets and manufacturing of beet sugar in this state has been a success. Free sugar, by which is meant foreign sugar duty free, would wipe out the beet sugar industry of all the states in the union where it is HIGH SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT To Be Produced at Opera-house on Tuesday Evening “Ali Baba and the Famous Forty” will be presented at the operahouse next Tuesday evening by the high school girls under the direction of Mrs. Bartlett. The Forty are “out for the coin” today just as they were in the days of the Arabian Nights, but their methods are modernized. They will get your money in a perfectly legal manner. But you will have to “come across” just the same, because the proceeds are for the benefit of the Entertainment course. Not even J. P. Morgan could take your purse more smilingly than the young ladies who will impersonate Ali Baba, the wood chopper, his son Ganem, Cassim, the wealthy but wicked brother, and Wakkim, that chip off the old block, Cogla, the bandit chief and his ferocious followers, “the forty.” “Ali Baba” has been charmingly set to music by its dramatic incidents reduced to tuneful verse, and its characters harmonized with modern stage requirements. The piece is partly of the English pantomime and partly of the American musical comedy in style. It is interesting and amusing from start to finish, and with the budding beauties of Anaheim in the cast should be one of the prettiest productions the opera-house has witnessed. NEW COUNTY CHARTER UNDER CONSIDERATION ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE HEAR COMMITTEE'S REPORT Offers Radical Changes in Present Methods of Selecting Candidates for Office—Recommends Civic Boards to Select Good Men and Seek to Their Election—Apportionment Made of Number of Representatives of Each Section to Charter Meeting A new county charter for Orange county was one of the principal topics discussed at the meeting of the associated chambers of commerce at Santa Ana last evening. The meeting resolved to hold its next session in this city. The committee on a county charter submitted the following report: Santa Ana, Cal., Mar. 27, 1912. Your committee on county charter reports as follows: Initiated.—The charter may be proposed by a three-fifths vote of the board of supervisors or by a 15 percent petition of voters, all per cent of voters being based on total votes cast for all candidates for governor at last preceding election. Free sugar, by which is meant foreign sugar duty free, would wipe out the beet sugar industry of all the states in the union, where it is now a source of wealth, and such a disaster would prevent the United States from becoming ultimately an exporter of sugar instead of being a very large importer, and would throw the sugar trade of the United States into the hands of the eastern refiners of foreign cane sugar. This is such a serious proposition for California, which is the pioneer beet sugar raising state in this country, that simultaneously, in various parts of the state, meetings of citizens have been arranged for the purpose of protesting against the destruction of a very great California industry. One of the earliest of these meetings will be held in Sacramento. There will be mass meetings in Spreckels, Watsonville, Oxnard, Alvarado, Chino, Betteravia, Los Alamitos, Santa Ana, Hamilton, Visalia Corcoran and other points. From each of these will issue resolutions adopted by the farmers who raise the sugar beets and men who work in beet sugar factories, the local commercial bodies which are anxiously watching the progress of their respective communities, and the population who appreciate the menace to them that is contained in the bill adopted by the house of representatives in Washington, if it ever gets as far as to meet with the approval of the senate. It is very probable that a state convention may be held in San Francisco. The San Francisco chamber of commerce, which represents the banking, financial, commercial and manufacturing interests of a great part of California, has already passed resolutions. In these it has been set forth that California has been producing nearly one-third of the total output of beet sugar for the United States, and possesses ideal conditions of soil and climate to induce the greater development of this industry, and that any reduction in duty made should be such as would not interfere with the extension of the cultivation of sugar beets on farm lands of the United States. "All Baba" has been charmingly set to music by its dramatic incidents reduced to tuneful verse, and its characters harmonized with modern stage requirements. The piece is partly of the English pantomime and partly of the American musical comedy in style. It is interesting and amusing from start to finish, and with the budding beauties of Anaheim in the cast should be one of the prettiest productions the opera-house has witnessed. Rehearsals have been in progress for some weeks and everything is in readiness for next Tuesday night except a few minor finishing touches to scenery and costumes. Tickets will be on sale by high school students starting March 26. The prices will be high school pupils 25 cts. Adults 50 cts. Reserved seats at Mission Candy store.. Tuesday evening, April 2. LOOKING FOR SMOOTH COUFLE Santa Ana People Victimized by Logus Check Swindler Two warrants are out for the arrest of Melvin Tyler, one for the forgery of J. F. Richards' name to a $23.50 check and the other for defrauding a rooming house. Tyler has gone, and officers are attempting to locate him, but with little prospect of success. Tyler and his wife arrived at Santa Ana several weeks ago and secured rooms at the rooming house of Mrs. R. S. McCullom. Tyler told a pitiful story of having been held up and robbed, and gave that as his excuse for having no money. The couple kept the rooms until about three weeks ago, and paid no money. Mrs. Tyler worked for Mrs. McCullom, and her earnings came to $16. That went on the rent. A balance of about $20 was never paid. Tyler and his wife picked up and moved to another place. J. F. Richards swore to the complaint charging forgery. Tyler did a little work for Richards and was given a check in payment. Tyler evidently thought he could make Richards' signature go on a bogus check and he tried it, and worked it. The forged check was for $23.50. Tyler got the money. When the check had reached the bank the forgery was detected. By that time Tyler and his wife were gone. The couple were arrested at Ocean Park on Saturday. That Miss Reba Robbins was the victim of a scoundrel is the conIn this city. The committee on a county charter submitted the following report: Santa Ana, Cal., Mar. 27, 1912. Your committee on county charter reports as follows: Initiated.-The charter may be proposed by a three-fifths vote of the board of supervisors or by a 15 per cent petition of voters, all per cent of voters being based on total votes cast for all candidates for governor at last preceding election. Freeholders. — Fifteen freeholders who have been electors for at least five years must be nominated by petition and elected by a majority vote. Charter. — These 15 freeholds must form charter which must be adopted by a majority vote of electors and approved by the legislature without amendment, or rejected entirely. New Charter—This may be formed and adopted in the same manner as the original. Amended.-Amendments may be proposed by the board of supervisors or by a 10 per cent petition of voters; adopted by majority vote, and approved, without amendment, by the legislature, or rejected entirely. Annulled-A charter once adopted, can be annulled only on presentation of a petition of 15 per cent of voters and by a two-thirds vote. Elections-It requires two elections to adopt the charter proposition — one to elect the freeholders and one to adopt the charter. The freeholders could be elected at the September primaries held on the 3d of the month and save the expense of one special election. However, it would be impossible to have the charte ready for submission at the November election, and it would be necessary to hold a special election about Jan., 1913, so that the charter could be submitted to the legislature. In this special election precincts could be combined with election boards of three persons and thus the expense reduced to the lowest point possible. Contents of Charter—A charter may contain any and all things that are not contrary to the general laws or the constitution. Home Rule—Among the great benefits of a county charter that of home rule comes first, so that when anything is needed in the county it can be had without the laborious and doubtful process of lobbying the legislature. Good Roads—This problem must be met and solved at once if we expect endeavor to carry out the principles outlined above and promise to give to you an administration of which the city need not be ashamed. A. Nagel, (Full Term.) Frank S. Gates, (Full Term) John A. Eymann, (Unexpired Term.) Elmer Imus was at Banning on Sunday calling on the prettiest girl in that section. Elmer refuses to talk of his many trips to the desert town, but his friends say things are beginning to look serious. That Miss Reba Robbins was the victim of a scoundrel is the conclusion of Sheriff Ruddock and Deputy Squires who arrested Miss Robbins and Melvin Tyler at Ocean Park. Tyler was brought to Santa Ana to answer to a charge of forgery, while the girl was arrested on a charge of defrauding a rooming house kept by Mrs. R. S. Cullom. The couple went to Santa Ana about three months ago and just before leaving for Ocean Park Tyler forged the name of J. F. Richards, a merchant, to a $23.50 check. The couple lived as man and wife, and not until after the arrests at Ocean Park did the officers know otherwise. The girl, who is aged 17, said that her home is in Indianapolis, Ind. While visiting at Griffithsville, Ark., she became acquainted with Tyler. He persuaded her to come to California with him, promising to marry her on their arrival here. He never carried out his promise. In Los Angeles he pawned the girl's watch. The officers have every sympathy for the girl. She not only will not be prosecuted, but she will be given employment. Tyler is 23 years old. He admits the forgery. Potato Dip. If you do not know how to use it, Mullinix can tell you.

Good Roads—This problem must be met and solved at once if we expect to get the state highway. Newport Harbor—Means and methods must be devised to handle the Newport harbor proposition successfully and economically. Outfall Sewer—A union outfall sewer to accommodate the cities and towns and sugar factories of the county is a pressing necessity. Methods should be established whereby those interested could legally unite in such undertaking. Judge—The matter of another superior judge should be settled among ourselves. Nominations—In order that the ranchers, business and professional people of the county, as opposed to the professional place hunters and politicians, be nominated, it is suggested that the civic and commercial bodies of the county nominate by petition parties as freeholders. Apportionment—That all sections of the county be represented the following is suggested as the apportionment based on the registration: Santa Ana city 3, Orange and vicinity 2, Tustin and vicinity 1, Newport Beach and vicinity 1, Huntington Beach and vicinity 1, Garden Grove and vicinity 1, Buena Park and vicinity 1, La Habra-Olinda vici- MARCH 28, 1912 NUMBER 24 COUNTY CHARTER FOR CONSIDERATION AND CHAMBERS OF PACE HEAR COMMITTEE'S REPORT.

Your committee urgently recommends that this matter be pushed to a successful conclusion. ACCREDITS HIGHSCHOOL University Examiner Pays Deserved Compliment to Faculty Prof. Morgan of Perkeley, examin-er of schools for the state university, was here on Thursday making the annual examination of the highschool Prof. Morgan found the school to be in excellent condition, and will report in favor of continuing it upon the accredited list. This honor it has enjoyed for ten years. Under this plan graduates are admitted into the university without necessity for further examination. Prof. Morgan complimented Prof. Walker and his associates of the faculty upon their work, saying they were giving this city a live, wide-awake and first-class highschool, which is far in advance of many highschools in larger cities of the state. HIGHSCHOOL TRUSTEES STATE THEIR POSITION ASK RE-ELECTION IN ORDER TO COMPLETE WORK IN HAND Voters Advised to Form Their Own Conclusions Regarding Charges In Recent Communication Concerning Them—Favor Upbuilding of School and Employment of Best Teachers Obtainable—Changes in the Faculty Likely to Result Following their Selection—Interest in Election We, the undersigned, announce ourselves as candidates for re-election for trustees of the Anaheim Union High School. We have refrained from replying to the anonymous communication, which appeared in the local papers, leaving it to the voters to draw their own conclusions. We stand for a broad, liberal policy of improvement of the school,both within and without, hoping to help make it rank as the best in California. We believe in a well governed and disciplined school. We want the very best teachers and expect to make the inducements such that they will stay with us indefinitely. We want the school to be the social center of the city and the school WALNUT GROWERS FORM NEW EXCHANGE OLD METHOD OF MARKETING TO BE DISCARDED No Further Gentleman's Agreement As to Prices, in Which Brokers Absorbed Great Profits and Growers Stpod Hazard of Heavy Losses—Will Pattern After Citrus Exchange, With Selling Agencies In Eastern Cities—Local Men Join Movement for Betterment of All Representatives from the walnut associations of Orange county have been taking part in the reorganization of the general association. The new organization is incorporated as the California Walnut Growers Association, the plan being to work with this organization as the orange associations work with the exchange. Hereafter there will be no setting of a fixed price in advance. The growers who have been in touch with the reorganization have every faith that it will work out successfully. Past experience has shown the weaknesses of the old system, and the new organization will correct those weaknesses. The old system of marketing did not prove entirely satisfactory for, as last year, an underestimate of the crop would prove disastrous. Last September the price was given out as 14 cents a pound. When the crop came in there was about 20 per cent more than expected and the 14 cents could not be maintained. Then, also, there always hung over the heads of the associations the threat that prosecutions might be begun under the Sherman act or the Cartwright act of California. That however, was not the direct reason for the reorganization, a conference concerning which was held in Los Angeles a month ago. The real reason was the dissatisfaction with the accredited list. This honor it has enjoyed for ten years. Under this plan graduates are admitted into the university without necessity for further examination. Prof. Morgan complimented Prof. Walker and his associates of the faculty upon their work, saying they were giving this city a live, wide-awake and first-class highschool, which is far in advance of many highschools in larger cities of the state. We want the school to be the social center of the city and the school grounds to be the play ground center, encouraging good, clean sport of every description. We have been very much interested in the building of the magnificent new high school, which though quite an undertaking for business men, has been our constant objective point. We have endeavored to see that we get the full value of every dollar put into it of the taxpayers' money, and we think it is a building Anaheim can always be proud of in years to come. We feel that our work is still unfinished, and so are willing to cheerfully serve another term of years before we hand the trusteeship over to our successors. Otto Storm, F. C. Spencer. DIED WHILE BATHING Santa Ana Woman Loses Her Life on Saturday After fainting in her bathtub Miss Julia Dietrich lay for two hours, slowly suffocating at Santa Ana, because the blazing of a water heater exhausted the oxygen of the air in the small close room on Saturday afternoon. Miss Dietrich was found unconscious at 1:15 o'clock and in spite of the work of physicians she died an hour later. A sad feature of the young woman's death is that she was engaged to be married soon to Dr. J. J. Jacobs, a Santa Ana dentist. Miss Dietrich's parents live near Garden Grove. For four years she had clerked in Gilberts' dry goods store. Recently she has lived in rooms at the Parsons apartments on West Fourth street, where she died. Miss Dietrich's dying condition was discovered when a plumber seeking a leak climbed into the bathroom through the transom. The heater was so hot that the boiler was broken and water ran out on the floor. Miss Dietrich lay in the tub, her head resting on the edge just as she fell, when she fainted, probably two hours before she was found. The room was frightfully hot and the air Of Charter—A charter many and all things that may to the general laws institution.

This association becomes the selling agent of the various local associations, which hitherto have sold walnuts individually, but with a uniform price for all, except when some association jumped over the traces and violated the gentleman's agreement. The new organization will work along the same line as the orange growers associations and exchange without fixing prices in advance. It will market the crop by f.o.b. orders and sales delivered, according to orders, but with the power to hold for better prices than those that might prevail at any particular time. The California walnut growers association has no capital stock and is purely co-operative, the local associations being assessed for its expenses.
