LOCAL BANKERS BURDENED BY WAR TAX ORANGE COUNTY FINANCIERS WILL PAY $6000 IN CONSEQUENCE OF DEMOCRATIC MEASURE MORE MONEY TO BE TAKEN FROM COUNTY THAN EVER BEFORE IN TIME OF PEACE According to the present democratic "war taxes" which are to be levied upon the people in time of profound peace, Anaheim banks will pay $600 to make up the deficit of customs' receipts under President Wilson's free trade tariff bill, while the banks of the county will pay close to $6000 for this infiquitous measure. Banks of the state will be mulched in millions, while in addition to this tax all checks, drafts, insurance policies, contracts, conveyances and other documents will bear heavy stamp taxes. The war tax bill imposes a tax of $100 upon banks having $50,000 capital stock, while banks with different capitalization ordinary measures were necessary to pay the expenses of government. The war gave the administration an excuse and the tax was levied. Of course the European trouble caused a partial cessation of imports, and consequent loss in tariff duties, but if the policy of protection had been maintained the surplus would have been large enough, together with the increased duties which would have been receivable now, to have tided the government through the temporary disarrangement of its European trade. ANAHEIM BOY IS BECOMING EXPERT Helped to Install Largest Wireless Plant in the World Reinhold Stock, son of Godfrey Stock, is one of the Anaheim boys who is making good in his race with the world. Although but 21 years old, he is already an expert electrician, his specialty being in Marconi work.

Banks of the state will be mulched in millions, while in addition to this tax all checks, drafts, insurance policies, contracts, conveyances and other documents will bear heavy stamp taxes. The war tax bill imposes a tax of $100 upon banks having $50,000 capital stock, while banks with different capitalization will pay a proportionate amount. The capitalization and surplus of the banks of this city amount to $300,000, while the county's capitalization and surplus totals nearly $3,000,000. There are 27 banks in Orange county with a total capitalization of $1,775,000. The surplus fluctuates and is not always the same, but it is probable when the assessment is made it will be sufficiently large to make the total sum which the banks of the county will be forced to pay, by reason of democratic incompetency at Washington, close to $6000. Some of the banks which have recently distributed the accumulated surplus are fortunate enough to have very little upon which they will be compelled to dump a percentage into that yawning chasm in the treasury vaults but others are less fortunate. For instance, the First National bank of Anaheim, in its last statement reports a surplus equal to its capital stock. This institution, therefore, will be assessed $200 for the relief of the depleted treasury. It is not only the bankers who suffer from this unjust and unnecessary law. Their customers, also, must contribute their mite to help make good the deficit. Each check must have its stamp affixed and the man who draws the check must attach the stamp to make it negotiable. Notes, bonds, and all certificates of indebtedness must pay a tax of five cents on each $100 involved, and all paper passing through the bank, pays tribute to the government at Washington. While the banker and his customers are hard hit by this new revenue law they are not the only ones who have cause to complain. In every transaction, almost where paper is involved, you will find the little stamp bobbing up demanding to be paid for. Freight receipts and express receipts each bear a stamp with a mandatory provision that the shipper pays for it. The railroad or express company does not buy this stamp.

Little more than a year ago he graduated at the Polytechnic at Los Angeles, and shortly afterward secured a position with one of the largest electrical firms in San Francisco. He did not study wireless at the school, but the mystery of the thing had a facination for him, and he began investigating and experimenting on the side. Recently when the wireless station at Bolinas, near San Francisco, was being completed he was sent out by his house to help fit it up for the final test with Honoululu and Japan. This is the largest station in the world. It covers 600 acres of ground, and consists principally of 10 steel towers, each 315 feet high. On September 24, the day the finishing touches were added, Mayor Rolph and a long list of prominent San Franciscans went out to Bolinas to assist in making tests. The first message flashed through the 2000 miles of wireless space was from the president. It was sent to the governor of Hawaii, and was as follows: "Washington, Sept. 24. The Governor of Hawaii, Honolulu. May God blind nations together in thought and lasting peace. Woodrow Wilson." Instantly came back the answer. Kahuku, Sept. 24. President Wilson. With time and distance annihilated and space subdued through wireless triumphs and impulse, the territory of Hawaii conveys its greetings, profound respect and sympathy to Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States, as he so earnestly seeks the blessing of peace and good will for all men and all nations. L. A. Pinkham, Governor of Hawaii." Numerous other messages were sent and the station was pronounced perfect. Everything passed and repaired without a bitch or wink. Relinhold and another expert, who by the way was electrocuted while on the job, put the line in trim for the final test, and although a modest youngster, he writes that he cannot help feeling a little proud over the success of the achievement. He also states that he was treated like a prince while on the job, the hotel people and others having instructions to provide instantly whatever he asked for and charge the bill to someone else.

In every transaction, almost, where paper is involved, you will find the little stamp bobbing up demanding to be paid for, freight receipts and express receipts each bear a stamp with a mandatory provision that the shipper pays for it. The railroad or express company does not buy this stamp. The man who pays the freight pays for it. Gasoline is taxed 2 cents per gallon, and the owner of an auto will pay 25 cents for each registered horse power. A 60-horse power car, therefore, will cost the owner $15 per year. Even telephone messages are 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, identity and guaranty insurance policies one-half cent on each dollar. For each seat in a palace or parlor car and for each berth in a sleeping car the tax now is to be two cents. Passage tickets, which are tickets from a United States port to a foreign port, will be taxed from one dollar to five dollars each, according to the value of the ticket. Local bankers are emphatic in their denunciation of this law because they recognize that it was made necessary only by the blundering legislation of the government at Washington. It was the policy of the republicans to maintain a surplus in the treasury for an emergency fund. Under the policy of protection the surplus was collected without the expedient of levying a special tax. The democrats found $35,000,000 in this surplus fund when they took possession of the government. They speedily spent this and soon found themselves facing a deficit.

BIG AUDIENCE ENJOYS A MUSICAL TREAT High Class Entertainment at High School Auditorium Monday Night One of the greatest musical treats enjoyed by the music lovers of Anaheim in many a day was the entertainment given by the Orange County Conservatory of Music at the high school auditorium Monday night. A good audience was present. This was the first of a number of musical entertainments to be given by the high school, and if the balance prove as high class as this one a rare treat is in store for the people of Anaheim. The high school expects to present a number of musical programs during the school year. The large, appreciative audience that was out Monday evening indicates that the people of Anaheim have a musical taste that demands the best. The next event of this kind will be given by the faculty of the Conservatory of Music of the University of Southern California. This will be on Tuesday, October 13. It promises to be a very brilliant affair. Admission will be free and the general public is invited. Recorder Howard has sent seven men to the county jail this week under sentences ranging from 30 to 90 days. Most of them were vags or fakers.

The ca AHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1914 NEEDHAM TALKS TO BIG AUDIENCE AT FULLERTON SHOWS NECESSITY FOR PROTECTION TO INDUSTRIES OF ORANGE COUNTY HARD TIMES CAUSED BY MILLIONS BEING SENT OUT OF COUNTRY Speaking with great force and ernestness, and presenting an illuminating array of figures showing disastrous results to the country's industries, James C. Needham spoke to a large and enthusiastic gathering at Bank hall in Fullerton on Monday evening. It was Needham's best speech of the three so far delivered in this county, and at its conclusion he was warmly congratulated by many of those present, who assured him they heartily endorsed his sentiments. He was many times applauded during the progress of the speech, and at its conclusion was assured by the party leaders that he would sweep this county by a great majority. He dwelt largely upon tariff issues, saying that Wilson ed with the primary object of giving shippers relief from burdensome transcontinental railway freight charges, but the democratic plan seems to be to tax our products all the traffic will bear. He said Mr. Kettner voted in favor of the democratic measure, which was the severest blow ever dealt the farmers and orchardists of this state. San Diego is the nearest port of call to the canal in the United States, and while Kettner claimed to be a friend of that city he dealt it the severest blow it had ever received in voting to place these tolls upon its shipping. The speech was powerful presentation of the republican doctrine of protection to our industries, and a large audience listened attentively throughout the address. Needham said he always had a tender spot in his heart for Orange county, for it was here he was first nominated for congress in the old 7th district, and he always received a majority here in his campaign. He said that he felt sincerely that he could be of interest to the district at Washington and promised if elected to give his best efforts for adequate protection to our industries. The question now before the American people, he said, was the approval or disapproval of the democratic administration. Election of a republican would indicate disapproval of the government's free trade policy, and would lay the foundation for republi- KNOWLAND WILL SPEAK AGAIN IN COUNTY REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR TO TOUR COUNTY ON OCT. 17 REPUBLICAN CLUB VOTES TO MAKE SPECIAL EFFORTS IN BEHALF OF LOCAL NOMINEES Joseph R. Knowland, republican candidate for United States Senator, will make one more address in Anaheim before the closing of the campaign. This welcome announcement was made by J. W. Duckworth, chairman of the county central committee, at the meeting of the Republican Club Tuesday evening. M. r. Duckworth had just received a letter from republican headquarters stating that Congressman Knowland would pass through orange county on Saturday, October 14, on his way to San Diego, and if an attorney could be arranged he would be able to deliver a number of speeches in the county. He will ar- hall in Fullerton on Monday evening. It was Needham's best speech of the three so far delivered in this county, and at its conclusion he was warmly congratulated by many of those present, who assured him they heartily endorsed his sentiments. He was many times applauded during the progress of the speech, and at its conclusion was assured by the party leaders that he would sweep this county by a great majority. He dwelt largely upon tariff issues, saying that Wilson called congress in extraordinary session in 1913, and that congress had been continuously in session up to the present moment. The extraordinary session continued until December, 1913, when the regular session began, and the two sessions thus merged together, have resulted in the longest session of congress in the history of the country. A new free trade tariff bill had been enacted, and he showed bill had been evicted, and he showed that the democratic members of Louisiana had voted against this measure, as it meant the destruction of their great sugar industry. But while the bill affected California's industries disastrously, not a single democratic congressman from this state had opposed it. He read a list of California products upon which the tariff had been cut, and said that while reductions in this state amounted to 60 per cent of the former republican tariff, average reduction upon the industries of other states amounted to 40 per cent. These figures, showing reduction upon California's industries are noted in another column. He showed that these reduced tariff rates were most injurious to our citrus, walnut, and other industries, and that free sugar in 1916, meant the closing down of our local sugar beet factories. Under the republican tariff foreign sugars imported into this country paid duties amounting from $52,000,000 to $58,000,000 per year. This great sum of money under free importations of raw sugar means a loss of this large sum to the treasury, and to make up the deficit the democratic administration proposes a war tax in a time of profound peace, placing a burden of $105,000,000 upon the American people. Needham quoted figures showing greatly reduced tariff duties under the present bill, and showed that hundreds of millions of dollars had been sent out of the country to pay the balance of trade against us.

Needham quoted figures showing greatly reduced tariff duties under the present bill, and showed that hundreds of millions of dollars had been sent out of the country to pay the balance of trade against us. While under the republican policy of protection, the balance of trade was annually hundreds of millions of dollars in our favor, under free trade the outflow of gold from this country was continuous and in ever-increasing volume. Yet people ask, What is the matter with the country. Needham referred at length to the Panama canal, saying the republican party had enacted a bill permitting American vessels engaged in coastwise shipping to pass through the waterway free of tolls. In the campaign of two years ago platforms of all parties endorsed free tolls. Mr. Wilson pledged himself to this policy, but after being elected president he demanded that American vessels engaged in coastwise traffic should pay the same tolls as foreign ships plies overseas. These tolls are $1.20 per ton of net register, and a vessel carrying only half a cargo would be required to pay full tolls upon its total register. A vessel carrying 10,000 tons of California products would have to pay $12000 in tolls, and he showed that this burden would fall upon the shoulders of the California producer. Even if the vessel carried less than full cargo the canal tolls would remain the same. Alfalfa hay, he said, could be shipped profitably to the Atlantic sea board through the canal under free tolls, but under the present democratic policy of taxing it $1.20 per ton it cannot be profitably shipped through the canal. The canal was constructed Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Bradshaw and Mr. and Mrs. S. Loly were visiting at the home of V. D. Loly Sunday. EBELL ACTIVITIES One of the most enjoyable events of the past week was the reception given to the teachers by the Ebell last Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Seward Simous of South Pasadena was present and discussed a few of the various amendments to be voted on in November. She has given the matter deep study and her remarks were very convincing. Mrs. Harry Dyer sang two solos in a charming manner and Miss Harford, the house guest of Mrs. Pearson, rendered two plano selections. The club is planning to add a new section this year. All ladies who would be interested in forming a musical section will please meet with Mrs. Dr. Dan Parker, on S. Claudina street, this afternoon at 3 o'clock. On Thursday, the 15th Mrs. Chamberlain will open her country home on West Broadway for an all day Bazaar Bee. Arrangements for transportation can be made by phoning Mrs. Chamberlain. Each lady will take for lunch one article and coffee will be served. The following ladies were elected delegates to the County convention: Mrs. Grimshaw, Mrs. Tipton, Mrs. Pearson, Mrs. Glifford. Alternates Mrs. Harry Dyer, Mrs. Grim, Mrs. Boyd, Miss Raymond. Light refreshments were served and a social hour spent. The contest between the wets and the drys has become of such vital interest to the voters that few who are able to walk to the polls will remain away, consequently it is not deemed necessary for political parties or candidates to expand much money in providing conveyances. It was decided, however that checkers should be stationed in each precinct to keep tab on the vote during the day. The republican party will carry every office in the county by substantial majorities if a full vote is cast. Mr. Duckworth stated that the total registration is 25,000 and more than 14,000 of these republicans. A motion by J. B. Root prevailed that members of the club make especial efforts in behalf of R. Y. Williams, Z. B. West, J. C. Burk, C. E. Ruddock and Cal D. Lester on election day. These are all republican candidates. Another meeting will probably be held before election day. OFFICERS AND COMMITTEES The following marshals and committees have been appointed by Chairman Duckworth of the carnival committee: Marshals of Parade—John Kellenberger, chief; H. M.

Music will be furnished by a splendid orchestra, which in itself will probably be one of the principal features of carnival week. The thoroughfare will be roped off at the curb line, and for the full extent from Center to Broadway will be enveloped in canvas tenting, with seats provided for an attendance of 2000 people. Work will begin immediately upon stringing the wires for arc and incandescent colored lights over the thoroughfare, and festons of flowers and evergreens will make the scene one of true Oriental splendor.
