WHY THE WAR TAX WAS LEVIED ON PEOPLE IT'S THE RESULT OF EXTRAVA-GANCE AND INCOMPETENCE ON THE PART OF DEMOCRATS DEFICIENCY IN TREASURY RECEIPTS APPARENT BEFORE EUROPEAN WAR WAS DECLARED What the American people will be taxed for under the new war tax bill will be extravagence and incompetence. This is certainly true. It is a false pretense, which cannot be proven by facts reported by official statistics, to claim that $100,000,000 of additional revenue must be raised to offset the loss in revenue imports caused by the war in Europe. Losses in import began with the second month of operation of the present democratic law, and continued steadily. The loss was greater in August than in preceding months, for in that month, the first of the war, Germany, Austria, France and Great Britain, the four countries which lead all others in the bulk of our importations, were unable to send us anything. Yet the falling off of $100,000,000 in that month was not so greatly in excess of the falling off in earlier months under the present tariff law, as Mr. Wilson in his address to Congress, sought to make it appear. A large percentage of the imports was of goods made free of duty, and a falling off in such importations could in no way affect the government revenues. In many other lines, in which sharp reductions are made in the Underwood law, the volume of imports had for months been steadily increasing while the revenues derived from them had been running steadily low. the more agressive because of these competitive imports as a consequence of the European situation, it is proved that something was needed to check the inflow of imports which displace American labor and production. If not war, then protection was needed. Nothing is plainer than that. FAIR EXCHANGE A New Back For an Old One—How It Can Be Done in Anaheim The back aches at times with a dull, indisscribable feeling; making you weary and restless; piercing pains shoot across the region of the kidneys, and again the loins are so lame that to stoop is agony. No use to rub or apply a plaster to the back if the kidneys are weak. You cannot reach the cause. Anaheim residents would do well to profit by the following example. Christ Maas, retired farmer, 158 S. Grand St., Orange, Cal., says: "I was laid up with pain in my back. A cold on my kidneys caused the trouble. I suffered for three months and my back was so stiff, lame and painful that I couldn't raise up in bed. I couldn't stoop over to pick up anything. Nothing relieved me until I began taking Doan's Kidney Pills. They soon drove away the trouble and the cure has lasted." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Maas had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.—Adv. EXAMINATION FOR HYDROTHERAPY OPERATORS The California State Civil Service Commission announces an examination for Hydrotherapy operator, to be held November 14, 1914 in Southern California state hospital at Patton, Cal., and in the Napa state hospital at Napa, to provide a register of eligibles from which to make certification to fill vacancies as they may occur in positions as hydrotherap operator in the five state hospitals. Salaries range from $60 to $75 per month, with room, board and laundry provided in addition. There are now two vacancies to be filled, one for a woman and one for a man. Further information and application... Yet the taming off of $200,000 in that month was not so greatly in excess of the falling off in earlier months under the present tariff law, as Mr. Wilson in his address to Congress, sought to make it appear. A large percentage of the imports was of goods made free of duty, and a falling off in such importations could in no way affect the government revenues. In many other lines, in which sharp reductions are made in the Underwood law, the volume of imports had for months been steadily increasing while the revenues derived from them had been running steadily lower for months than they had run under the Payne-Aldrich law. We were facing a deficiency before the war began. The present tariff law was, admittedly, framed on the basis of an estimated loss to the treasury of $40,000,000 annually. This estimate had been exceeded in the actual losses up to the dates of the German declarations of war against Russia and France. Another source of less was in receipts from the income tax. These receipts, owing either to bungling estimates in the office of the comptroller, or to inefficiency or negligence, in the collection of the tax could be seen falling far short of what had been expected. This tax had been confidently relied upon for supplying the great loss in tariff revenues which the Administration declared a deliberate purpose to force when it so greatly enlarged the free list and so heavily reduced the duties an nearly all lines of manufactured goods with a view to greatly increasing imports. The imports were greatly increased. The losses of revenue were even greater than had been anticipated. But the anticipated setoff against this loss from income tax receipts was not in sight. So much for incompetence. For the extravagance, it began with the advent of the present administration and appropriations already made and yet to be made, show that it is to continue. The first year of the Wilson administration was more than $100,000,000 greater than the ordinary cost of the last year of the Taft administration. As the appropriations are now running, there is no hope of checking this extravagance. It is accordingly, to restore the waste of incompetence and extravagance that the president now urges the imposition of war taxes, at a time when imports from France and Great Britain are being resumed. The revenues from these reduced importations will not be large, under our present free list and reduced duties, and we are to be taxed to supply the revenues they will not yield, now that it is seen that the income tax is falling and the president opposes making it serve its original purpose in any more effective way. The war taxes will be paid by those "ultimate consumers" the democratic party came into power to protect. There is only one certain remedy for this. California voters can take this remedy at the polls in November.

The revenues from these reduced importations will not be large, under our present free list and reduced duties, and we are to be taxed to supply the revenues they will not yield, now that it is seen that the income tax is failing and the president opposes making it serve its original purpose in any more effective way. The war taxes will be paid by those "ultimate consumers" the democratic party came into power to protect. There is only one certain remedy for this. California voters can take this remedy at the polls in November. A tacit acknowledgement of the need and value of the protective policy is found in the jubilant feeling among Democrats at the seeming prospect that because of the changed conditions attending the war in Europe the popular revolt against their party is not going to be so complete and so overwhelming as it seemed certain to be. Three months ago, when there was no thought of a European war, they were shaking in their boots. All signs pointed to their downfall at the polls in November. Indications were abundant that the American people would elect a strong protectionist majority to the House of Representatives of the Sixty-fourth Congress and that the free-trade control of the Senate would be weakened. That outlook, in the judgment of the democrats has been changed by the war. They feel sure that they are going to be saved through the agency of the European shambles. Well, they are going to be badly fooled in California. If California don't go solidly republican in the November election it never will in the next century. Californians are not foolish enough to be hoodwinked by any such specious arguments as those that are now being offered to them by the democratic candidates. The supporters of protection in California ought not to allow themselves to be swerved from their determination to overthrow the democrata merely because the injurious consequences of free trade have been mitigated by the industrial paralysis and the demoralization of the ocean carrying trade that have followed the war among the producing countries of Europe. Logically and unmistakably the fight against free trade should be all ASK CITY VOTERS TO SAVE THE FARMERS CONFERENCE IN LOS ANGELES ADOPT'S PLANS FOR WHIRL-WIND FINISH OF THE CAMPAIGN UNIVERSAL EIGHT-HOUR LAW WOULD PROVE RUINOUS TO AGRICULTURAL INTEREST Maintaining that the socialists' proposed universal 8-hour law threatens the very life of the state's great agricultural interests, delegates representing more than 15,000 farmers, ranchers and orchardists of Southern California held a conference in Los Angeles last week for the purpose of devising means to enlist the support of city voters against the measure and adopt plans for a whirlwind finish of the educational campaign to save the state's agriculture. The meeting was called by the Farmers and Fruit Growers' Federation. It was a thoroughly representative gathering, remarked for the diversity of the interests represented and including in its attendance delegates from every one of the eight southern counties of the state. The reason for being was clearly expressed in a brief resolution, adopted unanimously and amid cheers as follows: "Resolved: That we, the farmers, fruit growers and ranchers of California, in convention assembled, affirm our steadfast opposition to the proposed universal eight-hour law and our belief that its adoption at the polls on November 3 would prove disastrous to, if not destructive, of the great agricultural interests of the state do hereby call upon all patriotic citizens residing in the larger cities of the state, and upon all city civic organizations." Ilifornia's continued prosperity the state ever has been called upon to face, a menace that is not less serious to the wage earner than to the employer. The meeting devoted little time to argument. Its delegates needed no argument to convince them of the mischievous character of the proposed law. Their purpose in getting together was not to convince themselves but to devise means for informing others, confident that if the city voter can be made to understand the measure, he will vote against it. On the floor of that convention sat men of the highest standing in their respective communities; men whose honesty of purpose cannot be questioned and whose opinions must necessarily carry great weight. Presiding over its deliberations was H. B. Chase of the National Orange company of Riverside and vice-president of the Farmers' and Fruit Growers' Federation. In front of him sat delegates from fifteen farmers' leagues and associations, organizations representing the cotton growers of Imperial, the orchardists of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino, the ranchers of Ventura and Santa Barbara—in short the entire great agricultural. Interests of Southern California, in all their widely diversified branches. Reports submitted at the meeting of the progress of the anti 8-hour law campaign in the agricultural districts indicated that a tremendous vote will be cast in rural communities against the measure. Agriculturists generally, it was said, are thoroughly aroused against the danger confronting them and appreciate the need of getting out every vote that can possibly be mustered against the proposed law. In the cities, however, the situation was regarded as less favorable. It was admitted that many voters are under a misapprehension regarding the effects of the measure and that it will, very likely, command a heavy vote among sympathetic people who imagine that its enactment would be a good thing for labor. For this reason it was decided to mail to every voter in Southern California a newspaper setting forth the facts as they actually exist and pointing out that this law, far from benefitting labor, would prove in operation the heaviest blow that California laboring men ever have been called upon to withstand industrial and Farmers' League; F.

Edwards of Redlands Writes Concerning Split Among Prohibitionists J. S. Edwards of Redlands has forwarded this office a copy of the following letter written by him to S. J. Jackman, chairman of the progressive county central committee, requesting its publication in these columns: Los Angeles, October 21, 1914. S. J. Jackman, Santa Ana, California, Dear Mr. Jackman: About the time I phoned you that I would be in Orange county on Monday last, I received word from our prohibition headquarters that a little tour through the county was being planned by them and that they wished me to join them. I also learned just before I came down that there was some trouble on among the Dry forces in Orange county. When I reached Santa Ana and began to understand the situation, I thought it was possible that an adjustment could be made that would unite the forces. It appears to me now, however, after more thorough understanding of the matter, than any such effort would be futile. I will return to Orange county next week for a couple of days and join the party who have planned this trip. I appreciate the very generous treatment I have received at the hands of yourself, your committees, the newspapers and the people: I deplore, as no doubt you all do, the fact that any division has arisen, but, naturally, I am not in a position to judge... "I should be glad if legislation could bar intemperance, but I have seen it tried and tried in vain. I do not believe that sumptuary laws ever had any effect to stop abuses in any country. When I was a young man I was in the State pressured in a brief resolution, adopted unanimously and amid cheers as follows: "Resolved: That we, the farmers, fruit growers and ranchers of California, in convention assembled, affirming our steadfast opposition to the proposed universal eight-hour law and our belief that its adoption at the polls on November 3 would prove disastrous to, if not destructive of, the great agricultural interests of the state do hereby call upon all patriotic citizens residing in the larger cities of the state, and upon all city civic organizations and the city press to join us in our opposition to this most dangerous measure and by voting against it at the polls to preserve California's prosperity from the grave menace now confronting it." This resolution was introduced by D. Eyman Huff, president of the Agricultural and Commercial League of Orange county. The Los Angeles meeting was the most notable gathering of its kind ever held in the state. It was attended by practical ranchers, men who have made a success of farming in California and who, better than any others have an intimate knowledge of farming conditions in this state. Representing interests which pay out $15,000,000 annually to labor, these men took their stand unanimously upon just one proposition: That Proposition No. 3 on the November ballot—the so-called universal 8-hour measure presents the gravest menace to Cal- was regarded as less favorable. It was admitted that many voters are under a misapprehension regarding the effects of the measure and that it will, very likely, command a heavy vote among sympathetic people who imagine that its enactment would be a good thing for labor. For this reason it was decided to mail to every voter in Southern California a newspaper setting forth the facts as they actually exist and pointing out that this law, far from benefitting labor, would prove in operation the heaviest blow that California laboring men ever have been called upon to withstand. This newspaper, published under the title of the "Farmers and Fruit Growers Appeal," sets forth a multitude of reasons why thinking workers oppose the proposed universal 8-hour law. In opening of the Los Angeles meeting Vice-president Chase of the Farmers and Fruit Growers' Federation emphasized the imperative need of getting out every possible vote against this measure which, asserted, not only threatens the prosperity of the California farmer, but—the prosperity of the whole state. Others who spoke forcefully on the proposed law's menace included C. S. Teague, president of Ventura County Farmers and Fruit Growers' Federation; R. C. Allen, president San Diego Farmers' Protective League; C. W. Leffingwell, J., president Pasadena Farmers and Fruit Growers' Association; Sherman H. Stow, president Santa Barbara In- I thought it was possible that an adjustment could be made that would unite the forces. It appears to me now, however, after more thorough understanding of the matter, than any such effort would be futile. I will return to Orange county next week for a couple of days and join the party who have planned this trip. I appreciate the very generous treatment I have received at the hands of yourself, your committees, the newspapers and the people. I deplore, as no doubt you all do, the fact that any division has arisen, but, naturally, I am not in a position to judge intelligently of the merits of the contention, and I am sure all your people will appreciate my position in the matter.
