HIGH COST OF LIVING Standing at the elbow of President Wilson the evening of October 3, 1913, in company with other officers of the Army of Business Disorganization, Congressman (now Senator) Underwood, awaited the signature of the bill which blotted his escutcheon, and with the consummation of that act by President Wilson, Mr. Underwood made the following statement: "I have the utmost confidence in the new tariff law. I am absolutely confident that this law will reduce the cost of living in the United States." The recent report of the Department of Labor and the nation-wide comment of the press thereon have convinced everyone of the fallacy of Mr. Underwood's forecast. In this report fourteen articles of food are mentioned for comparison and twelve of them were shown to be higher in July, 1914, under the democratic tariff than in the same month of 1912, while the republican law was still in force. The articles are: Sirloin steak, round steak, rib roast, pork chops, bacon, ham, lard, hens, flour, corn meal, eggs, butter, potatoes, sugar, and milk. But three articles of food were lower in 1914 than in 1912, flour, corn meal and sugar. The reduced rate on sugar went into effect March 1, 1914, but in the meantime the sugar growers had gotten rid of their entire stock and the market was loaded up. STAMP TAXES IN TIME OF WAR AND IN TIME OF PEACE The Woodland Democrat quotes our recent reference to President Wilson's war tax measure, and sagely observes: The Anaheim Gazette criticises the war revenue tax because it was based on the Spanish war stamp tax. As that was levied under the McKinley administration comment is unnecessary. Our criticism of Mr. Wilson's war tax measure is not based upon the fact that it is patterned after the stamp tax of the McKinley administration, which was enacted at a time when this country was at war with a foreign foe, but that it should have been enacted at all, in a time of profound peace. When McKinley levied war taxes upon the American people the country was engaged in war with a European foe for the first time in nearly a century, and while that war proved to be more or less of a picnic for our army and navy, yet McKinley prepared the country for all eventualities, and immediately after the conclusion of the victorious struggle, the war tax act was repealed. The only reason for Wilson's measure at this moment of profound peace with all the world is a depleted treasury caused by enactment of a democratic free trade tariff bill. That is the difference. As the Woodland Democrat truthfully says, comment is unnecessary. History was written in those days of the Spanish war, at Manila, at Santiago, in the arrow flight of the Oregon around the Horn, and in the uprising of a war-like nation, clamoring for vengeance because of the sinking of the Maine. In every hamlet of this broad land the clarion call of the president was heard. He called for 100,000 men. More than a million responded, crying out for the blood of the Spaniards. As a corollary of this struggle we endured the stamp act. of 1912, while the republican law was still in force. The articles are: Sir-loin steak, round steak, rib roast, pork chops, bacon, ham, lard, hens, flour, corn meal, eggs, butter, potatoes, sugar, and milk. But three articles of food were lower in 1914 than in 1912, flour, corn meal and sugar. The reduced rate on sugar went into effect March 1, 1914, but in the meantime the sugar growers had gotten rid of their entire stock and the market was loaded up. Flour and corn meal prices were forced down by the large supply. In fact, not one article of the 15 selected by the department was lowered in price on account of lowering of duties by the democratic tariff law. If the reader of this statement will ask the first democrat he meets why the reduced tariff rates did not reduce the cost of living he will now be told that the tariff has nothing to do with food prices. Democratic newspapers have been citing a reduction in the number of idle freight cars as an evidence of business revival but now comes a prominent railroad operator who is quoted by the New York Times as saying that the statistics are misleading. The idle cars of the country, the article reads, represent a reserve on which we are expected to draw as business increases in volume. It is true that the railroads have from time to time used more of the idle cars. It should not be forgotten, however, that these same railroads are wearing out cars from month to month and discarding them. In normal times these worn out cars would be immediately replaced by new cars. But the railroads are not buying their normal supplies of equipment now and the discarded freight cars are not being replaced by new ones. Instead, the roads are drawing on the reserve supply of idle cars and this has reduced the surplus of idle cars. It is wrong to assume that business is booming. The railroads are standing still, at best, and that means going backward in the railroad business. There are isolated cases, of course, in which business is picking up, but the roads as a whole are meeting great disappointment. If the boom does come, we will not be ready to handle a rush. There will not be enough cars to carry the freight. History was written in those days of the Spanish war, at Manila, at Santiago, in the arrow flight of the Oregon around the Horn, and in the uprising of a war-like nation, clamoring for vengeance because of the sinking of the Maine. In every hamlet of this broad land the clarion call of the president was heard. He called for 100,000 men. More than a million responded, crying out for the blood of the Spaniards. As a corollary of this struggle, we endured the stamp act, we paid it uncomplainingly, and when the war was over it was abolished. But today, there is no war in our beloved land, and we are at peace with the world. The only reason for stamp taxes is a depleted national treasury, caused by a democratic free trade tariff law. We agree that comment is quite unnecessary. THE CUNNING LITTLE JAP Consul-General Anderson at Hong-Kong reports to the state department at Washington that the Japanese government has issued an order, under which "all space in Japanese ships heretofore allotted shippers at Hong Kong, Shanghai and Kelung, Formosa, having merchandise for the United States, now is withheld. All contracts and agreements made with non-Japanese shippers for space in July are revoked, even steerage passenger space being taken over for Japanese use, and arrangements for space in August are being made with the possibility of the extension of the order in view." It is characteristic of Japan's cunning that she first waited until the administration at Washington, by enactment of the preposterous Seaman's bill had put out of business the only two American steamship companies plying on the Pacific before daring to take so high-handed arbitrary action against American business interests. Having seen the Pacific Mall and the Dollar steamship lines throttled, the Japanese government felt safe in asserting her monopoly of the Pacific ocean and in boldly inaugurating the tactics of scheming monopolists. Japan grants financial aid to her steamships trading with the United States and thus is in a position to issue the boycott decree just announced. The American merchant, manufacturer or importer who had purchased goods for shipment from Shanghai, Hong Kong and other non-Japanese points and had contracted for their It is wrong to assume that business is booming. The railroads are standing still, at best, and that means going backward in the railroad business. There are isolated cases, of course, in which business is picking up, but the roads as a whole are meeting great disappointment. If the boom does come, we will not be ready to handle a rush. There will not be enough cars to carry the freight. While Secretary Redfield and the others are exulting over the huge trade balance growing out of war orders boom, it may be unkind to remind them that the number of business failures reported in this country during the past six months was the largest on record for a similar period and the total liabilities were close to a record figure also. The record of failures for June was the worst ever made in a single month. There is great prosperity at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and at other points where war orders are concentrated; and it is a great pity that we do not all own large blocks of Bethlehem stock. But, while war factories prosper because of European conditions with which we have nothing to do, other enterprises have slackened or suffered disaster because of policies put into operation by a democratic congress urged on by a democratic president. Vessels laden with munitions of war for the European powers are leaving our ports daily, and are returning with lemmons as ballast. Last winter these vessels returned with walnuts as ballast. The democratic free trade law admits these articles practically free of duty. Mr. Wilson and his free trade propoganists say this is right. The California lemon grower and the California walnut grower say that by the gods above us, this is everlastingly wrong. INCOME TAX RECEIPTS Of the $79,828,675.27 collected from corporations and individuals under the income tax laws during the fiscal year ended June 30, New York state paid $27,638,766.17 or $19,801,264.08 more Japan grants financial aid to her steamships trading with the United States and thus is in a position to issue the boycott decree just announced. The American merchant, manufacturer or importer who had purchased goods for shipment from Shanghai, Hong Kong and other non-Japanese points and had contracted for their transportation to this country on Japanese ships, is now told that his contracts with Japanese owned steamships have been uncermoniously set aside. If he wants any trans-Pacific merchandise, let him buy in Japan—or go without. It is time the American people awoke to the necessity of necessary changes in our shipping laws, as well as the re-enactment of the policy of protection to American industry. The present administration not only breaks the word of promise to the heart, but fails even to keep it to the ear. Though professing to be eager to relieve enterprise of the burdens thrust upon it by recent litigation, Attorney General Gregory will, nevertheless, not accept the adverse decrees of lower federal courts in the government's suits against the Steel corporation and the coal carrying railroads; and he is preparing to take these cases up to the Supreme court on appeal. And yet some people profess to wander that that the American business man is suspicious of the administration.

STERN & GOODMAN MERC. CO. Fullerton, Brea, Olinda, Placentia, Yorba Linda. A. Bayless and wife went up to Los Angeles yesterday morning on a visit. City Marshal Kellenberger is taking a short vacation. He and his family left Tuesday for San Diego where they will spend a few days at the fair. A birthday dinner party was given by Miss Louise Elliott Monday evening, the occasion being her 14th anniversary. A number of her young friends were present. Edmiston's delivery horse ran away with the wagon on Claudina street Tuesday morning, and scattered a load of groceries along the street. Little damage was done. The case of George McPhee, county sealer of weights and measures, against the Armour Packing Co. of Los Angeles, charging it with selling short weight butter, comes up for hearing before Judge Howard this morning at 10 o'clock. The sugar factory began slicing its 1915 crop of beets yesterday morning with a force of 240 men. 10,000 acres of the best beets ever grown in this region will be turned into sugar during the campaign, which will probably be a long one. At the special meeting of the trustees held on Friday evening, July 16th Luclen Wisser spent Tuesday in Los Angeles on a business mission. Baxter & Beck have filed a mechanic's lien against A. W. Wood and ranch property; demand $71.50. Mr. and Mrs. Emil Dumpke celebrated the third anniversary of their wedding at their home on Sunday, when a pleasant day was enjoyed by a large circle of friends. The sixth annual meeting of the Orange county W. C. T. U. was held at the home of the president, Mrs. L. C. Yeoman at West Anaheim last Tuesday. Mrs. Stella Irvine, state president, made an address. The movement to organize an association for the conducting of a county fair is now under way. It is said that $3000 will be sufficient to finance the enterprise for the initial fair, and it is believed that this amount can be raised without any great effort. Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Quarton, and Mr. and Mrs. Witherall have returned from a trip to the San Francisco exposition and other points of interest in the north, including a hunting trip in the northern counties. A nine-year-old lad named Harry Watts lured by the display of attractive things, broke into Hawley's gun store at Santa Ana Sunday and secured some knives, marbles and small trinkets. He was arrested and taken to the detention home. He refuses to give the name of a companion who was with him. The funeral of Rev. Robert W.

BIG TANKER IS ORDERED The Union Oil company has contracted with the Union Iron Works of San Francisco for the construction of a tank steamer with a capacity of 75,000 barrels and cost $1,000,000. The vessel will be named Los Angeles. In addition to its carry capacity of 15,000 barrels of crude oil, large store rooms will be provided in both the forward and stern holds for the transportation of gasoline in drums and case oil. The big steamer, which will be 435 feet long, 56 feet wide and 33.6 feet deep, will be a sister ship to the one for which the Union Oil company let a contract May 14. The latter ship, to be christened the La Brea, is to be ready for delivery by May 1, 1916, and the Los Angeles by July 1 of next year. FAKE GOLD MINE The gold-mine-brick promoter has been arrested and Sheriff Jackson sent an officer north Saturday afternoon to bring him back to Santa Ana for trial. On Tuesday B. M. Clay swore to a complaint charging Fred Fowler with obtaining $75 from him under false pretenses. Fowler accepted the $75 as a cash payment on a hearing before Judge Howard this morning at 10 o'clock.

At the special meeting of the trustees held on Friday evening, July 16th the petition presented by L. Goble, L. E. Miller and others, containing 1155 feet, opposed the "paving" of Broadway, instead of the "parking," as previously reported. Mr. Goble will circulate his petition further among property owners on that thoroughfare, asking for signatures opposing the contemplated paving. Mrs. C. Lacey, assisted by her daughters, Florence and Hazel entertained the ladies of the Pastime club at her home south of town Thursday afternoon. Those present were Mrs. A. B. McCord, Mrs. W. L. Finney, Mrs. J. C. Callaway, Mrs. O. W. Clark, Mrs. Henry Tuffree, Mrs. R. J. McFadden, Mrs. Normandy, Mrs. McLellan, and Mrs. Sherwood and Mrs. Schneider of Fullerton. The two Fullerton ladies proved to be the most expert card players, Mrs. Schneider getting first and Mrs. Sherwood second. Fred Gresswell was in the chamber of commerce rooms in Los Angeles the other day and in looking over the literature displayed failed to observe any Anaheim booklets. After a reconnaissance he was astounded to learn that the Anaheim literature was kept in the attic. Now, that was just about the limit. He protested to those in charge and soon had the attaches scurrying hither and yon to straighten out the matter. It seemed the trouble arose over the line appearing in the booklet, depicting Anaheim as the "Frostless Belt." That is a proper caption for Anaheim and as this section is immune from frost the jealousies of the other sections of the Southland should not come into evidence, as has been shown in this instance. It is the truth that hurts. Mr. Gresswell takes a keen interest in regard to Anaheim's welfare and never overlooks an opportunity to see that his home town gets a square deal.

Three boys, named Devinne, Shears and Durant, ran away from the Whittier state school Monday night, and were captured here Tuesday night by Officers Morgan and Sackett. The boys had been detailed to haul milk but decided to beat it. They stole an auto belonging to one of the school officials, which was found wrecked just this side of Whittier. The police here were notified to look out for them and picked them up Tuesday night.

It is proposed to grant table liquor licenses, but the temperance workers of Long Beach are opposing this and have asked the drys of FAKE GOLD MINE The gold-mine-brick promoter has been arrested and Sheriff Jackson sent an officer north Saturday afternoon to bring him back to Santa Ana for trial. On Tuesday B. M. Clay swore to a complaint charging Fred Fowler with obtaining $75 from him under false pretenses. Fowler accepted the $75 as a cash payment on a placer gold mining claim in the Georgetown mining district above Sacramento, the balance on the purchase price to be paid from the gold obtained from the claim. Fowler claimed Clay could make $5 a day panning out the gold. Clay found he could hardly make five cents a day, and soon returned where he swore to the complaint. Sheriff Jackson was notified by telegram from Sheriff C. E. Hand of Placentia, that Fowler was in custody there and was being held for the Orange county officers. A deputy Sheriff was sent up to bring Fowler back for trial. Clay, who lives at Santa Ana, claims that Fowler sold a share in the mine to Jesse Burton, for $100 cash. Several Orange county people seem to have taken in by Fowler's scheme and it is understood that some of the party who left there a few weeks ago to work the mine cannot return home as they are flat broke from the results of the venture. Charles Peltzer was in town from his Placentia avenue ranch Wednesday morning. He has 20 acres of young orange trees and is raising 15 acres of lima beans this season. Mr. Peltzer also owns a large ranch in Kansas and his tenant will harvest 300 acres of wheat this summer. He reports his bean crop as exceptionally good. All Millinery reduced to the lowest.

The new lamp post planted at the mouth of the alley in the rear of the Dreyfus building, was found to be anything but ornamental yesterday morning, as it was lying on the pavement. The iron post was broken off near the ground and its cluster of lamps was smashed into atoms. The pole had been bumped into by W. L. Krausch during the night, and the collision proved disastrous to the pole, also to the auto which had its front caved in. Mr. Kreuscher was on his way home from Los Angeles. It attempting to look at his watch the machine got beyond his control and jumped onto the sidewalk. The Los Angeles county Board of Supervisors had a special meeting yesterday to consider the advisability of calling a bond election to vote on the question of issuing about $2,500,000 in bonds to build needed highways through the mountains of that county. Among the proposed roads is one through Brea canyon, six miles long, connecting with the Orange county paved road system, at an estimated cost of $65,000. The committee on highways declares that it is impracticable to build these roads out of the funds now available. Who's Hazel?—Your Druggist?

SUNSET 120-J 307 WEST CENTER ST. BOY BURGLARS Some time after 11:30 o'clock last Monday night the F. C. Rowley pool room in Garden Grove was broken into, and five $2.50 gold pieces, two watches and a quantity of knives, rings and other articles used as premiums on a punch board, totaling in value around forty dollars, were taken. The pool room occupies a partitioned room in a building also used as a garage by Marshal Ingram. The boy burglars broke open a rear window of the garage, and entered the pool room by cutting the screen and climbing over a partition between the two establishments. Exit was made in the same manner. Sheriff Jackson's deputies investigated the burglary and found that it had been committed by young boys—at least the footprints were those of lads. The burglar or burglars took off their shoes, and conducted their work in their stocking feet. The socks worn were considerably worn, so that the burglars' toes stuck through them, leaving footprints made of half sock and half foot. Sheriff Jackson thinks that there were two implicated, as one must have entered the pool room and passed out the loot to his confederate. One young man was suspected of the crime and the officers searched his room, but could not find any of the stolen goods. The officers are working on the case, and hope to apprehend the guilty young burglars in the near future. SHIPPING GOLD The present complications in Europe have made New York the center for shipments of gold. Many millions of dollars in the form of gold bars, packed in kegs especially made for the purpose—each bar being worth about $5000—have gone to their destination. When a gold shipment is to be made, the necessary number of kegs are taken in a truck to the assay office, where they are received at a door in the rear. The gold bars are then piled on a hand truck and rolled to the kegs. In the presence of the agents of the shippers and of the officers of the assay office the bars are packed in the kegs and sawdust is placed around them to prevent abrasion. When the heads of the kegs have been placed over the packed bars a piece of red tape is stretched across and fastened between the chime and the edge of the head. The seal of the shipping house is then attached to the head and the bottom of each keg. After sealing the kegs are rolled to the wagon and lifted on. It takes two men to handle each keg, as there are ten bars to the keg, with a total weight of about 190 pounds. It may be mentioned that $100,000 weights in gold about 380 pounds, and $1,000,000 weight 28000 pounds. Some time ago one of the officials of the assay office compiled figures showing how much gold a man could actually handle. It is a singular thing that great difficulty experienced in carrying gold for It is reported, is soon reported, and there is a post-wet and dry fight being proposed to stop in and prevent the dump post planted at the valley in the rear of the road, was found to be any-mental yesterday morning lying on the pavement.

The Stern & Goodman Mercantile company has added another to their string of stores, now having houses at Fullerton, Placentia, Olinda, Brea and Yorba Linda. Mr. Stern reports that, despite the general complaint of hard times, his firm had done a larger business the past year than in any previous year. A load of hay intervening between two automobiles on the state highway at La habra Sunday caused two automobiles going in opposite directions to strike each other with damages to both cars. Just passing the load of hay, J. D. Spennetta, discovered the oncoming car of J. A. Edwards, son of Postmaster Edwards, of Fullerton, and a collision appeared inevitable. Edwards turned suddenly, upsetting his car, and he and the young woman with him were thrown out, but escaped serious injury. Mr. Spennetta, also doing his best to avoid striking the other car, ran into a telephone pole, the windshield and the top of the vehicle were torn loose and one hand of the driver was slightly hurt. Captain H. H. Rogers and wife of Genoa, Wis., are visiting Rev. A. B. Markle and wife this week. The Captain belongs to the Geneva Military Academy being a West Point graduate. After sealing the keys are rolled to the wagon and lifted on. It takes two men to handle each key, as there are ten bars to the key, with a total weight of about 190 pounds. It may be mentioned that $100,000 weights in gold about 380 pounds, and $1,000,000 weight 28000 pounds. Some time ago one of the officials of the assay office compiled figures showing how much gold a man could actually handle. It is a singular thing that great difficulty is experienced in carrying gold for any distance. The weight seems to be more dead than that of other metals, although that may be an illusion. For example, the average man could carry 100 pounds of gold one mile without much discomfort. Its value would be about $26,000. A strong man could carry, say, 150 pounds a mile, reaching the end of his journey with just under $40,000. A very powerful man might carry 200 pounds, or nearly $53,000 a mile without exhaustion. Carrying gold is almost as difficult as getting it. NOTICE TO CREDITORS Estate of Carrie J. Coulter, deceased.
