Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. MR. KETTNER ON CANAL TOLLS Congressman Kettner who some months ago took pride in referring to his vote in the House of Representatives at Washington against President Wilson's bill repealing free tolls to American coastwise ships through the Panama canal, failed to state that he voted in favor of the bill on its final passage through the house. Mr. Kettner, in fact, straddled the bill, voting upon it three different ways in its three separate appearances in the House. In the first place, when consent was asked for consideration of the bill, which is the crucial test in Congress for or against any measure, he voted in favor of considering the bill. Floor Leader Underwood and many other democrats opposed consideration of the bill, among them being Speaker Clark. They took the ground that the Democratic platform adopted at Baltimore pledged the party to a continuance of the policy of free tolls to American coast wise shipping. They sought to defeat the measure upon its first appearance in the house but Mr. Kettner turned against the Democratic platform and voted in favor of considering the odious proposition. When the bill came up for its initial passage through the House Mr. Kettner voted against it; when it came back from the senate for final passage Mr. Kettner voted in favor of it. If this is not straddling, we will eat our straw hat. The bill repeals the measure passed by the last republican congress exempting American coastwise shipping from payment of tolls through the ca-perfection and profit by the protective tariff. The Undorwood tariff law for which the president called an extraordinary session of congress to put into force as speedily as possible, awaits the industries of this district to this extent. The duty on our lemons is reduced 66 2-3 per cent, on oranges, 50 per cent; on almonds 33 1-3 per cent; on walnuts, 50 per cent; on hay, 50 per cent; on beans 50 per cent; on butter 60 per cent; on figs, 20 per cent; on plums, 60 per cent; on poultry 60 2-3 per cent; on olives, 60 per cent. Wool is free, and sugar was reduced 66 2-3 per cent and will be on the free list after May 1, 1916. These are all products of this congressional district and if the present tariff law is maintained they are doomed to certain elimination as a factor in the commercial world. The lemons of Sicily, the oranges of Spain and the walnuts of southern France can be shipped into the United States as far west as Missouri river points at the same freight rate we pay from here to those points. The cost of labor and production in those countries is one-fourth what it is here, consequently growers in those countries can sell their products at a profit in Chicago, St. Louis or Kansas City for less than it costs us to grow and ship it there without the benefit of a sufficient tariff to even up the cost of production. Mexico is also a menace. With vast tracts of cheap and fertile lands, with poon labor available at less than 60 cents per day. It can eventually flood the markets of the United States with cheaply grown citrus fruit, walnuts, sugar and all other products of our soil unless a tariff barrier is raised on our borderland. The tariff issue may be an ancient one, but it is still of vital importance to the people of the Eleventh California district whose prosperity depends upon the maintenance of protection. Congressman Kettner may love the voters of this district who sent him to Washington to make laws for us.

The bill raise an addition 000,000 per year, it will save prestige of following that other great Grover Cleveland, national debt by to pay the expense.

Gov John re-election by the votes through non-the California re-ably not forget on The bill repeals the measure passed by the last republican congress exempting American coastwise shipping from payment of tolls through the canal. The Baltimore platform approved this policy, and Mr. Wilson in his campaign two years ago, pledged himself in favor of that particular plank in the platform. On being elected president he wheeled about in his political idea, and in a special message read to Congress demanded that the exemption of tolls to our American coastwise vessels be repealed. While many loyal Democrats bitterly opposed his policy, he whipped his scheme through congress and dealt the severe blow to California which this commonwealth has ever sustained since its admission into the Union more than half a century ago. Mr. Kettner lent his assistance to the president in dealing the state this blow. The Wilson measure places our coastwise ships upon a parity with those of other nations. They are subjected to a toll of $1.20 per ton for passage through the waterway. Upon a vessel carrying 10,000 tons of California products, oranges, walnuts, sugar beets, grain, raisins, and other products these tolls amount to $12,000. Who pays these tolls? The California producer, every time. The Republican measure passed under President Taft's administration provided that these products should be carried through the canal free of toll; but President Wilson demanded they should be placed upon equality with products and manufactured articles of foreign countries. Mr. Kettner voted to assist President Wilson in dealing this blow to the industries of this state. Had Mr. Wilson been true to his platform and ante-election pledges, had the Republican policy in reference to free tolls to our coast wise ships been permitted to continue, tens of thousands of tons of barley and alfalfa hay and shiploads upon shiploads of potatoes could have been shipped from California through the canal to points along the Gulf and Atlantic seaboard at a profit. With the Wilson toll of citrus fruit, walnuts, sugar and all other products of our soil unless a tariff barrier is raised on our borderland. The tariff issue may be an ancient one, but it is still of vital importance to the people of the Eleventh California district whose prosperity depends upon the maintenance of protection. Congressman Kettner may love the voters of this district who sent him to Washington to make laws for us, but he loves his party more. He made a feeble effort to stand by his friends when the iniquitous Underwood bill was under consideration but was finally scourged by the party whip into voting for the destruction of his own. There is no district in the United States where protection is of so vital importance as the Eleventh California, therefore this district should be represented by a protectionist. J. C. Needham is the foremost advocate of protection on the Pacific coast. He believes in fostering home industries. The democratic party whip has no terrors for him. His election would mean that the voters of this district register a protest against the high-handed injustice of the Wilson administration. UNJUSTIFIABLE CLAIMS The claim of Governor Johnson that all the laws of moment that have been born in Sacramento during the past decade were spawned by the progressive party has moved Captain Fredericks to hark back into history and expose the fallacy of his statements. Governor Johnson claims that the progressive party granted the right of suffrage to women. The progressive party was not born until the disgruntled office seekers bolted the Chicago convention in June, 1912, and suffrage had already been granted to the woman of California. Moreover Johnson was a rabid opponent of the measure and voted against it. The governor or claims credit for the enactment of the workman's compensation bill. This was introduced and engineered by Senator Boynton, a republican; and the Captain says Johnson makes himself ridiculous in attempting to claim the credit for it. Johnson claims the progressive party is responsible for the destruction of the Southern Pacific political machine. Captain Fredericks was heroic enough to advocate a railroad commission in 1905, and in 1909 a republican legislature enacted a law fixing rates and abolishing passes, thus destroying the power of the corporation as a political force. Votes through now the California reapply not forget one berer that he was reident as nominee was born for the feating the republic president. Follow the bill. It will every republican. The committee final revenue tax on barrel, making that mestic wines are a gallon on sweet a gallon on dry wine be taxed 2 cents. Many items of verbalism from the bill of 1898, inclusive features.

For each seat in Had Mr. Wilson been true to his platform and ante-election pledges, had the Republican policy in reference to free tolls to our coast wise ships been permitted to continue, tens of thousands of tons of barley and alfalfa hay and shiploads upon shiploads of potatoes could have been shipped from California through the canal to points along the Gulf and Atlantic seaboard at a profit. With the Wilson toll of 1.20 per ton placed upon them, these commodities cannot be shipped to market through the canal from this state. Can Mr. Kettner hope to receive support from voters from this district, whose interests are so vitally affected by this abhorrent measure, in the present campaign? We do not think he can. Certainly not. Certainly not. THE TARIFF According to James C. Needham, republican candidate for congress from this district, the main issue in the present campaign is the tariff. Democratic organs, accompanied by a chorus of side show sheets which follow in their wake, are hysterically striving to draw attention from it by claiming that it is an ancient issue—so ancient that it has become merely a tradition. It is old, we'll admit—so old that the nation's prosperity was founded upon it, and the older it grows the greater the structure dependent upon it becomes, consequently the heavier the fall when it is disturbed by hostile hands. The Eleventh congressional district, said Mr. Needham, is the foremost fruit growing district in the United States. In addition to its fruit its soil also produces a great variety of products, all of which have been fostered and brought to their present state of Senator Boynton, a republican; and the Captain says Johnson makes himself ridiculous in attempting to claim the credit for it. Johnson claims the progressive party is responsible for the destruction of the Southern Pacific political machine. Captain Fredericks was heroic enough to advocate a railroad commission in 1905, and in 1909 a republican legislature enacted a law fixing rates and abolishing passes, thus destroying the power of the corporation as a political force. This was during the administration of Gov. Gillett, three years before the progressive party was born. There are numerous other claims made by the governor that are equally ridiculous. The direct primary law is credited to the progressives by him. It originated in 1909, and he was nominated for governor under the provisions of the law three years before his present party came into existence. The race track gambling law pointed to by Johnson as a triumph of progressivism was enacted in 1909. The child labor law was passed in 1905, but the governor points to it as an achievement of his party. He also claims credit for the state highway, but the highway act was passed a year before he was elected, and Captain Fredericks declares his first official act will be to speed the work on this road. "Many suckers have sprung from the republican tree when the sap was running strong," said Captain Fredericks at Fullerton, Monday night. "They have flourished for a day, perished and been land away. The progressive party is the latest of these suckers. It is dying and soon will be laid beside the others. I suggest that we carve on its monument this epitaph: 'Here lieth the progressive party. Let it lie in death as it lied while living'." WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY LIES Democratic members of the ways and means committee of the National House of Representatives have hastily concocted an emergency revenue bill for the purpose of covering the deficit in the treasury caused by their blundering legislation. Republican members of the committee rooms Tuesday in order to give them an opportunity to register themselves in opposition. The bill, it is believed, will raise an additional revenue of $105,000,000 per year, and democrats hope it will save president Wilson the necessity of following in the footsteps of that other great apostle of free trade, Grover Cleveland, and increasing the national debt by the issuance of bonds to pay the expenses of government. It must be anything but gratifying to the progressives of California, with Governor Johnson at their head, to reflect that their party is directly responsible for the levying of this unnecessary tax. They followed Theodore Roosevelt who, burning with a lust for revenge, split the republican party at Chicago, two years ago because he could not rule it, knowing full well that such action meant the defeat of the party which had hitherto honored him, and the inevitable inauguration of another Bourbon dynasty, with its blighting free trade policies, at the nation's capital. They knew what would follow the enactment of a free trade tariff law, but preferred to wreck the factories and huge business interests of the United States and jeopardize the growing industries of California rather than submit to the will of the majority, who recognized that President Taft had earned a second term in the White House. Gov. Johnson is hoping for a re-election by the aid of republican votes through non-partisan clubs, but the California Republicans will probably not forget on the third of Novem- VETERAN KILLED BY SANTA FE FREIGHT F. E. LAUGHLIN FORMER PHILIPPINE SOILDER, MEETS DEATH NORTH OF TOWN TUESDAY WAS INMATE OF THE YOUTHS-VILLE SOLDIERS HOME, PRE-SUMABLY ON FURLOUGH F. E. McLaughlin, an inmate of the Yountville soldiers' home, was struck by an incoming Santa Fe freight train from the north about eleven o'clock Tuesday night and so badly injured that he died less than two hours later. The train crew state that the man was seen lying beside the track with his head on the rail, but it was impossible to stop the heavy freight before striking him. Whether he was asleep, intoxicated, premeditating suicide or had been slugged and purposely placed in the path of the train is not known. Dr. Osborn, of the Sanitarium states that he observed no evidence of liquor about him. He was picked up by the train crew and brought to the sanitarium. He was still breathing, but it was evident that he was beyond human aid. His head was badly crushed, and he died shortly before one o'clock. The man was identified by a small note book which he carried, giving his name and also directing that in case of accident Mrs. J. B. McLaughlin, Methodist home at Washington, D.C., should be notified. It also gave the name of a son, T. J. McLaughlin, at Magnolia, Mississippi, and a daughter, Mrs. A. D. Bolton, Pittsburgh. Pa. It also mentioned Charles Ishm of the veteran's soldiers home. No money was found on the body, but a cheap nickel watch was in his pocket. He also wore two badges, one indicating that he belonged to the Spanish war veterans' association and the other that he had been a member of the First Washington volunteers for the Philippine service. The coroner's office was notified but in the absence rate for this year, sums are raised for the various funds as follows: State, $18,624.46; current, $160,499.88; salary, $19,107.13; hospital, $23,883.91; interest and sinking, $128,973.12; advertising, $16,718.76; county school, $128,973.78; county park, $3821.22.

Every time we have given it a trial it has been to our sorrow, but we must have one lesson every generation. Don't forget that the issue in this campaign is, "Shall protection prevail; shall we preserve our markets for home products or give them over to foreigners and levy a war tax to pay the expenses of government? "Don't permit the Democrats to make war an excuse for too extraordinary tax, because conditions were becoming intolerable before war was declared." ment of a free trade tariff law, but preferred to wreck the factories and huge business interests of the United States and jeopardize the growing industries of California rather than submit to the will of the majority, who recognized that President Taft had earned a second term in the White House. Gov. Johnson is hoping for a re-election by the aid of republican votes through non-partisan clubs, but the California republicans will probably not forget on the third of November that he was running for vice-president as nominee of the party which was born for the sole purpose of defeating the republican candidate for president. Following is a digest of the bill. It will probably pass but every republican vote in both houses. The committee increased the internal revenue tax on beer by 50 cents a barrel, making the new tax $1.50. Domestic wines are to be taxed 20 cents a gallon on sweet wines and 12 cents a gallon on dry wines. Gasoline is to be taxed 2 cents a gallon. Many items of the bill are adopted verbatim from the Spanish War tax bill of 1898, including the administrative features. Stamp tax provisions of the bill and the tax on tobacco dealers, brokers, bankers and amusements are carried in schedule A., which will continue in effect until December 31, 1915. The remainder of the bill will be in force until repealed. Proprietors of theaters, museums and concert halls in cities of 15,000 population or over are to pay $100 each. Circus proprietors are to pay $100 a year, proprietors of other exhibitions $10 and proprietors of bowling alleys and billiard rooms $5 for each alley or table. Tobacco dealers and manufacturers are to be taxed the same as in 1898, except that in the largest class "tobacco dealers not specifically provided for" the tax is to be $4.80 each. Bonds and certificates of indebtedness are taxed five cents for each $100 involved, and freight and express receipts one cent each, with a mandatory provision that the shippers must pay this tax. Telephone messages are to be taxed one cent on all tolls of 15 cents or more, and telegrams one cent a message. Life insurance policies are to be taxed eight cents on each $100, and fire, marine, casualty, fidelity and guaranty insurance policies one-half cent on each dollar as in 1898. For each seat in a palace or parlor No money was found on the body, but a cheap nickel watch was in his pocket. He also wore two badges, one indicating that he belonged to the Spanish war veterans' association and the other that he had been a member of the First Washington volunteers for the Philippine service. The coroner's office was notified but in the absence of coroner Winstigler Leonard Baker came over from Santa Ana to represent him. He decided upon an inquiry but was compelled to postpone it until he could get in communication with the train crew. The body was removed to Backs & Terry's undertaking parlors early yesterday morning and is awaiting the action of the coroner and instructions from friends. It is presumed that McLaughlin had left the soldiers' home in a vacation, but he carried no furough. Following the inquest it was determined by the authorities to notify the superintendent of the Yountsville home, and the disposition of the body would probably rest with him. Dr Osborn estimates his age at near 70. There is a probability that McLaughlin was slugged and placed on the track by his assassins. It is also possible that he lay down in the path of the train with suicidal intent. Dr Osborn does not think he was intoxicated and no man in his senses would lie down to sleep with his head resting on the steel rail of a railroad trac. SUPERVISORS FIX COUNTY TAX RATE LEVY, SAME AS PREVIUS YEAR, WILL RAISE OVER HALF A MILLION DOLLARS ANAHEIM-FULLERTON ROAD DIVISION ASSESSED $3.33 FOR HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS The Board of Supervisors on Monday officially fixed the county tax rate at $1.45 outside incorporated cities and $1.05 inside cities. The totals are the same as last year, though the segregation of funds is changed in a number of particulars. The county tax rate will raise $501.562.15. This does not include the amount to be raised by the road loye of forty cents. Most of this amount on it a trial has been to our sorrow, but we must have one lesson every generation. Don't forget that the issue in this campaign is, "Shall protection prevail; shall we preserve our markets for home products or give them over to foreigners and levy a war tax to pay the expenses of government? "Don't permit the democrats to make war an excuse for this extraordinary tax, because conditions were becoming intolerable before war was declared. Wilson said, after the passage of the tariff bill, that he felt like a traveler who had passed safely through half of his journey. God save us when we reach the end of that journey. Another pet measure that was to redeem the country was the currency bill. Seven months after it became a law the board had not been appointed, and I am not able to find anything has yet been accomplished. "The people of this district cannot afford to approve or endorse the democratic policies. Even if we lost it is better to register our protest against it. I would not be willing to return to Washington unless I believed I could be of service to the people. In the event of my election I will be again placed on the ways and means committee. If you think you ought to stand by the administration, vote for a democrat. I will accept your verdict." Chairman Melrose, at the close of Mr. Needham's speech, called attention to the fact that American people were working in the interest of universal peace, and calling Mr. Duckworth to the chair moved that the assemblage endorse the proposition. It carried by a unanimous vote. Mr. Needham arrived here on Thursday afternoon and was met by Chairman Duckworth of the county central committee and a number of other republicans. He met J.B.Neff, an old-time acquaintance, and was taken by that gentleman in his automobile for a drive to his extensive walnut orchard, southwest of town. Needham was Mr. Duckworth's guest at dinner in the evening and later some 50 republicans of this city and surrounding country called at the Duckworth residence to meet the candidate. Mr. Needham left on Friday morning for San Bernardino and spoke at Uplands in the evening to a large and enthusiastic audience. He has spoken every evening during the week to large meetings in adjoining counties. Napoleon Hart Passes Away Suddenly Continued from page 1 Many friends and neighbors of Mrs. Hart called at her residence yesterday to tender their sympathies in her great bereavement. The good lady is prostrated with grief at the loss of her husband. She had prepared breakfast for him yesterday morning, and going to his room found him apparently in sleep. Later she again went to call him and, as was her usual cusom, she pressed a kiss upon his lips. She was horrified to find him cold in death. The funeral will be held at the late residence on Claudina street at 2 o'clock this (Thursday) afternoon, under the auspices of the Odd Fellows lodge. The work of paying North Philadelphia street is progressing rapidly. The concrete base is finished today and surfacing will begin as soon as possible. School supplies at Dickel's. The Board of Supervisors on Monday officially fixed the county tax rate at $1.45 outside incorporated cities and $1.05 inside cities. The totals are the same as last year, though the segregation of funds is changed in a number of particulars. The county tax rate will raise $501.562.15. This does not include the amount to be raised by the road lovy of forty cents. Most of this amount will be expended by the county, a small portion only going to the state. Of the tax rate of $1.45 outside cities, forty cents is for roads. Of each total twenty-seven cents is for general school purposes. In addition to the money derived from the twenty-seventeen rate for schools, each district will have a special rate, varying according to the needs of the district. The principal differences in comparison with last year are to be found in those districts that have voted bonds since the tax rate of 1913 was fixed. While the rate was officially fixed Monday morning, it had been decided upon three weeks ago, at which time the supervisors gave the information to the county auditor that he might commence computing taxes for the present year. One of the most noticeable raises in tax rates is that made for the Newbert Protection district, which proposes to do a good deal of repair work on the Santa Ana river in the next year. That district's rate is raised from $1.30 to $2.90. Newport Drainage District had a big decrease, going from $3 to ninety cents. Delhi Drainage district has a raise. So has Huntington Beach city. Fullerton has a decrease. Stanton, which is, the only city in the county that has its rate fixed and its taxes collected through the county, keeps its last year's rate of $1. This year the county has three new funds to deal with, Placentia Lighting District, Yorba Linda Library district and Anaheim-Fullerton Road division, the latter being formed to do paying between Anaheim and Fullerton. Under the segregation of the tax nut orchard, southwest of town. Needham was Mr. Duckworth's guest at dinner in the evening and later some 50 republicans of this city and surrounding country called at the Duckworth residence to meet the candidate. Mr. Needham left on Friday morning for San Bernardino and spoke at Uplands in the evening to a large and enthusiastic audience. He has spoken every evening during the week to large meetings in adjoining counties, and will deliver three addresses in Orange county, at Orange, September 28, Fullerton, October 5, and Santa Ana, October 28. Leading republicans of this county have pledged Needham a majority of 7000 in Orange county. GEORGE WASHINGTON vs. PROHIBITION The leaders of the prohibition cause who have been imported from the east to tell Californians what to do, and who advocate the wiping out of 170,000 acres of wine grape vineyards without compensation to the owners, are fond of quoting more or less celebrated people in their favor. Now let us see what the greatest American and according to European authorities the grandest character of the modern world thought on the question. The following is an extract from the last will and testament of George Washington, first president of the United States, on file in the office of the Circuit Court of the county of Fairfax, state of Virginia, as certified by F. W. Richardson, clerk of said court on February 7, 1912: "I, George Washington of Mount Vernon, a citizen of the United States and lately president of the same, do make, ordain and declare this instrument, which is written with my own hand and every page thereof subscribed with my name, to be my last will and testament, revoking all others: "Item—To my dearly beloved wife, Martha Washington, I give and be."
