THE PANAMA CANAL Among the many important pieces of constructive legislation to the credit of the republican party is the act for the construction of the Panama canal. Although that measure was not passed by a party vote, it was passed by a republican congress, signed by a republican president, and made easily practicable by republican legislation and administration. The republican party had in its platform for the construction of an Isthmian Canal. The democratic party had declared for a Nicaraguan canal. The difference merely serves to illustrate the broader view taken by the republican party. It is noteworthy that when the canal bill was under discussion in the House of Representatives, on Jan. 7, 1902, Representative Davis (Dem.) of Florida, declared: Our National Treasury is bursting with a surplus of unneeded dollars. Mr. Davis is arguing in favor of the canal and gave this as one reason why the act should be passed. It is hardly necessary to add the comment that there never was a democratic administration when this argument could have been put up in favor of so large an undertaking. Subsequent events prove that notwithstanding Panama canal construction was undertaken under acts which authorized issuance of bonds, the continued su- GIVIC CENTER IS FAVORED BY MR. DWYER TAKES ISSUE WITH MR. DUCKWORTH RELATIVE TO PURCHASE OF KONIG SITE STOP LEAKS IN CITY GOVERNMENT AND GET RESULTS, HE URGES Anaheim, August 30. Editor Gazette:—I have been much interest in the letters appearing in your paper lately regarding the contemplated civic center improvements. There are a few points in Mr. Duckworth's letter that I would like a little more "education" on. I agree with him that a park is one of the city's greatest needs in the way of public improvements and that it should be centrally located. He seems to favor the Koenig property and Chinks it could later be turned into a civic center if the people so wish. Does that mean to move the library building over there or pull it down and build a new one? As a city hall and library building are the only municipal buildings we are likely to have for a great many years it would seem quite important in having a civic center to have them located within it. The only place it is possible to group the city buildings is on the library block, which was the final choice of the committee of 50 appointed to investigate the ten or more different park sites offered. At San Quentin board employed in the vegetation day morning they the sack of tobacco using a sharp knife unleaped upon Alvarez slashed him across the BAND CONCERTS AT Editor Gazette:—Writative of the band of theheim asked the board the public library of mission to hold band porch of the library granted after due care the board of trustees the following condition first, so long as no of the library complied were disturbed in the Second, so long as not injured in any war and grounds were not Third, that the band officer, preferably two every concert evening of the concert to see condition was compliant prevent any undue no When these conditions filled the permission voked.

It is hardly necessary to add the comment that there never was a democratic administration when this argument could have been put up in favor of so large an undertaking. Subsequent events prove that notwithstanding Panama canal construction was undertaken under acts which authorized issuance of bonds, the continued supremacy of republican policies maintained sufficient revenue to construct that canal largely from current income, and the only urgent demand for the issuance of canal bonds has come after the canal has been completed and in order to make up a deficit created by a democratic administration at a time when no extraordinary expenditures are being made. That the prosperity of the country is highly concentrated in the territory of the war bride establishments finds new confirmation in a table compiled by a New York stock exchange house. The table compares the prices of various classes of stocks at the beginning of the war and at the present time; and it is significant that the stocks of railroads—the one basic and fundamental and nation wide industry—are but two per cent higher than they were a year ago. But the war bride stocks have meant the gone kitling. Thus, the average of steel, and equipment stocks is 87 per cent higher; motor stocks, 82 per cent; metal stocks, 60 per cent; can stocks, 54 per cent and electric and sugar stocks about 40 per cent higher than a year ago. Prudent persons who are looking to the ultimate consequences of the Wilson policy in Mexico are wondering whether the six Latin American countries now involved in the business will be willing to quit. The plain English of the matter is that Mr. Wilson has asked some of the South American republics to interfere in the matters of North America. Before the Wilson era they had never though it any of their province to interfere north of the Isthmus. France came over to Mexico and the United States threw her out. The South American republics have been organized into a combination by President Wilson to interfere in matters affecting our boundaries. The idea apparently is that the United States shall not protect its cit build a new one? As a city hall and library building are the only municipal buildings we are likely to have for a great many years it would seem quite important in having a civic center to have them located within it. The only place it is possible to group the city buildings is on the library block, which was the final choice of the committee of 50 appointed to investigate the ten or more different park sites offered. I want to take exception to the statement that the civic center will cost $100,000 or more. I believe if $65,000 were voted to buy the library block, that with the sale of the three pieces of property owned by the city in the city limits, we would have enough money to build a city hall that would fill the needs of Anaheim for a great many years. And we would have a beauty spot to which we could point with pride. If the voters will just compare costs and advantages of the two proposition 65,000 for a park and civic center site on the state highway where it will be seen by thousands motoring through our fair city, as $30,000 for a city hall on the present site, and $25,000 more in installments which is practically the same as a bond issue for a park down by the railroad amongst the packing houses houses, lumber yards, and transfer barns, it seems to me their choice must be the library block. We all know the taxes here are out of all proportion to the benefits obtained, and it looks likt a strange procedure for Mr. Duckworth to commend the very men who are responsible for the high taxes because they denied the people a chance to vote on a proposition that would give them a visible return for some of their tax money. It reminds me of the old fellow who was trying to fill a tank with a hand pump, while his boys were amusing their friends by punching holes in the tank to see it leak. The wife coming out to get a bucket of water was run off by the young hopefuls for which the old man "commended" them saying not to draw any water until the tank was full. This is not a prize story but will illustrate the point. If you stop the leaks in your municipal finances you will have money for useful purposes. I also want to say I was somewhat surprised that the secretary of the board of trade and merchant's association would publish over his signature that property right in the center Thursday evening A second and third condemned with.

This total, however, does not include the exports by rail via Canada to England and Russia. It is estimated that these American munitions of war amount to enough to bring the grand total of exports to $225,000,000 a year. Henry Watterson seeks to excuse Wilson. President Taft left the Mexican question to President Wilson, he claims. And Wilson, we may add, evidently plans to leave it to his successor in much more complicated form than when he got it. Ed Schneider and wife and Mrs. Amelia Wisser returned Wednesday last, from San Francisco where they visited the exposition and took in other points of interest in the northern metropolis. A dispatch from San Quentin dated August 28 states that a quarrel over a-cent sack of tobacco between Domingo Alvarez and Roy Peters may cost both men their lives. Alvarez is in the prison hospital suffering from three knife wounds and Peters is in solitary confinement awaiting the outcome of the former's serious wounds. Both men are Mexicans. On October 3, Peters was committed to San Quentin to serve a five-year term for robbery committed at Stanton. Peters' crime was committed on September 23, 1913, he robbing a Japanese by the name of K. Takeda of $8 in cash and a watch and flashlight valued at $15. At San Quentin both men were employed in the vegetable gardens. Saturday morning they quarreled over the sack of tobacco and Peters, wielding a sharp knife used in his work leaped upon Alvarez and stabbed and slashed him across the stomach. BAND CONCERTS AT CITY LIBRARY One More Chance to be Given if All Conditions Will be Compiled With Editor Gazette:—When a representative of the band of the city of Anaheim asked the board of trustees of the public library of Anaheim for permission to hold band concerts on the porch of the library building, it was granted after due consideration by the board of trustees of the library on the following conditions. First, so long as none of the patrons of the library complained that they were disturbed in the reading rooms. Second, so long as the lawns, were not injured in any way and the walks and grounds were not littered. Third, that the band have a police officer, preferably two, on the grounds every concert evening during the time of the concert to see that the second condition was complied with and to prevent any undue noises. When these conditions were not fulfilled the permission was to be revoked. Thursday evening August 26th the second and third conditions were not complied with. The board of trutsees of the Anaheim public library hereby give notice that the band and the public of Anaheim may have one more chance, and the very first time any of the provisions are not fully complied with, permission to hold concerts on the porch of the library building will be revoked. It now rests with the public, the po- BUYS LILY CREAMERY E. J. Ryan of Los Angeles, has purchased through Clark D. Hall, agent, the real estate and equipment of the Lily Creamery company, consisting of two and six-tenths acres, four large buildings, boilers, machinery, etc. This property is located at Buena Park. Mr. Ryan, with his outside associates, will put the buildings and machinery in first-class condition and add all of the needed machinery for a modern, up to date canning factory. The capacity will be the largest in Southern California and the surrounding territory is said to be ideal. The principal products will be tomatoes, corn, peas, asparagus, and fruits grown in the immediate vicinity. Ryan will immediately make contracts with the producers to grow the required products and put the plant in condition for next season's business. TAXES INCREASED The county tax rate for the coming year will be fixed at $1.90 or $1.95 outside of cities, which is an increase of 45 or 50 cents from last year, when it was $1.45. Two cases are mainly responsible for the necessity of increasing the rate this year. One is that the money for high school tuition, raised last year by special taxes, is this year included in the regular tax rate, adding 20 cents to the levy. Another is that the paved roads which have been promised to various sections of the county will cost more than there is funds remaining from the road bonds issue, so that about $60,000 must be raised for this work by direct taxation.

Claudina REPORT OF TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The following is the report of the transportation committee, as reported by A. A. Mills, at the associated chambers of commerce meeting last week: "In the matter of the Southern California Edison company rates: Community plants are generally impractical from lack of capital, centralized management and expert help. "The minimum charge at Riverside is compulsory for only one month, and averages about 7 months per year at Riverside; here 6 months complusory and averages about 7 months with double charge. "The investment per plant is very complicated, with Riverside furnishing transformers and switchboards free while here the consumer must pay about $475 average per plant for them. However when everything is considered it is probably about even here and at Riverside." "A new schedule issued May 1st, and affording June 1st Thursday evening August 26th the second and third conditions were not complied with. The board of trutsees of the Anaheim public library hereby give notice that the band and the public of Anaheim may have one more chance, and the very first time any of the provisions are not fully compiled with, permission to hold concerts on the porch of the library building will be revoked. It now rests with the public, the police officers and the band as to whether the city of Anaheim will enjoy the band concerts at the library building or not. To the Patrons of the Library Hereafter on the evening of the band concerts the library will close at 8 o'clock instead of nine. E. KATE REA, Secy. Anaheim, Sept. 1. GOLD MEDAL AWARD The Salt Lake Route Union Pacific building at the Panama Exposition at San Diego has been awarded a gold medal for the unique features of their building and the attractive displays therein. The structure is known as the Salt Lake Route Union Pacific building, and was erected for the purpose of serving as an international transportation center and to provide information to world travelers and comfort to exposition visitors. The building contains rest rooms for ladies and children, with maid in attendance, information bureau and telephone booths, smoking room for gentlemen and other accommodations. At either end of the main reception room large painted maps of the Salt Lake Route and Yellowstone National Park are shown on the walls with the exact topography of the country tributary. The entire front of the building is of glass transparencies showing the natural resources of the country traversed by the Salt Lake Route and Union Pacific system. This is said to be the first building of its kind ever erected at any exposition for a publicity exhibit. The special rest room provided for the entertainment of visiting railroad men is one of the prominent features. At the close of the exposition the building will probably be donated for use of the exposition officials. NEW FREIGHT RATE In order to stimulate the movement of California vegetables to eastern markets the Santa Fe railroad has announced a reduction in the charge for pre-iced cars from $62.50 to $55 a car to Chicago with proportional reductions to all other territory in the east. The new rate will go into effect October 15, according to H. P. Anewalt, general freight agent for the Santa Fe in Los Angeles. Heretofore the refrigeration charge has been based on what is termed a dry car, that is, the rate for a car not ice initially, loaded at California originating points to Chicago, was $55. For setting a pre-iced car with the bunkers fully loaded so as to pre cool the car before loading, an additional charge of $7.50 was made. As practically all of the vegetables were shipped on the latter basis the new rate of $55 for pre-iced cars is a clear reduction. As the railroads have not had to contend with water competition on these shipments the new rate may be regarded as voluntary. STATE AUDITING BUSINESS ON THE INCREASE On July 21, 1915, the state civil service commission gave an examination for the position of auditor with the state board of control. The work of these auditors includes the auditing of the accounts of the state institutions and assisting in the installation of systems of accounts in county offices throughout the state. The amount of work to be done is such however, that another examination has been found necessary, and the commission has fixed upon October 1, 1915, as the date for the second examination. Riverside; here 6 months complusus and averages about 7 months with double charge. "The investment per plant is very complicated, with Riverside furnishing transformers and switchboards free while here the consumer must pay about $475 average per plant for them. However when everything is considered it is probably about even here and at Riverside. "A new schedule issued May 1st, and effective June 10, 1915, increases the minimum charge from $25.00 per month to $48.00 on a 25-h. p. plant and from $60 to $69 on a 60-h. p. plant. This increase amount to 15 per cent for the 60-h. p. plant and increases for the different sized plants up to 92 per cent for a 25-h. p. plant. This new rate may be of benefit to the larger plants that operate most of the time. "For lighting there is a clear profit of 50 per cent over charge at Pasadena the real profit probably being even more. This applies to consumers in the cities of Fullerton, Santa Ana, and Orange with some slight modifications in the several lighting districts and other consumers. "The rates for freight, express and gas with the problem of short weights are all important, but the injustice of the Southern California Edison company is greater than any of these." No action was taken upon Mr. Mill's report, and the same was laid over until the next meeting when perhaps it may be taken up for further consideration. An Old Time concert and socjable will be given under the auspices of the Woman's Home Missionary society of the Methodist church, Friday evening, September 3, at the home of H. Calkins, on Lincoln avenue. An interesting program of old time favorites will be given in costume, and following the program refreshments will be served in the style of ye olden time. No admission will be charged, but a silver offering will be taken for the benefit of the Methodist hospital in Los Angeles. Autos will be at the M. E. church at 7:00 o'clock for those who desire transportation. Everybody is invited. Citrus fruit men estimate the shipments of oranges and lemons for the fiscal year ending Tuesday at 47,600 cars, against 45,625 last year. This is the heaviest year in the history of the industry. It has been a prosperous AN EXCITING RIDE WITH BANK ROBBERS Buena Park Man has a Novel Experience in Los Angeles J. D. Phillips of Buena Park had an exciting experience last Friday that he has no desire to ever repeat. He had gone to Los Angeles and with his friend, John F. Hiltcher of that city, was taking a motor ride in the latter's machine. Just as they left Hollenbeck park three desperate and wild-eyed bandits who had just robbed the Boyle Heights bank, stopped Phillips and Hiltcher and compelled them to drive like mad through the southwestern part of the city in what proved a successful effort to escape the police. The wild ride covered a distance of over ten miles. The bandits urged faster speed continually, and with revolvers pressed against their backs Hiltcher and Phillips had no desire to slow down. It was a miracle that the machine was not wrecked, as a speed of fifty miles per hour was maintained for nearly the whole distance. The robbers finally dropped off one by one, and at last, to their great relief, Messrs. Hiltcher and Phillips found themselves free from their reckless companions. Mr. Phillips says never again for him. Arnold Enearl went down to San Juan Capistrano Tuesday on a visit to his sister, service commission gave an examination for the position of auditor with the state board of control. The work of these auditors includes the auditing of the accounts of the state institutions and assisting in the installation of systems of accounts in county offices throughout the state. The amount of work to be done is such however, that another examination has been found necessary, and the commission has fixed upon October 1, 1915, as the date for the second examination. This new examination will differ from the former one in that two lists of eligibles will be secured, one of senior auditors and the other of junior auditors, the requirements for the latter being less rigid than for the former. The examination is open to all American citizens residing in California who have had at least one year's experience auditing in the offices of a public accountant, or its equivalent. Further information and application blanks may be secured from the civil service commission at either room 733, Forum building Sacramento, or Room 10, Ferry building San Francisco, also from Los Angeles county civil service commission, Hall of Records, Log Angeles. Portland, Oregon has 300,00 population, and they have not had a serious automobile accident in nine months. There are thousands of machines there and the city is full of hills which make driving difficult and hazardous. Some time ago the city passed an ordinance eliminating fines and substituting work on the rock pile. Every person no matter what his wealth or his standing, was sent to the rock pile for ten days for violating the speed ordinance and they have since had no trouble. A little of that same sort of treatment might have a beneficial effect in other communities. Citrus fruit men estimate the shipments of oranges and lemons for the fiscal year ending Tuesday at 47,600 cars, against 45,525 last year. This is the heaviest year in the history of the industry. It has been a presperous year for the grower although prices were low while the navels were being shipped. Under the new law 27 voting precincts have been added in Orange county. The towns and communities having more than one precinct now are: Santa Ana 25, Anaheim 11, Orange 10, Fullerton 7; Huntington Beach 3, Tustin 3, Brea 3, Garden Grove, Olinda, Placentia and La Habra, 2 each.
