TAFT'S KEYNOTE SPEECH Only one political speech was made by Ex-president William Howard Taft during his recent visit to the Pacific coast, but as he is considered one of the foremost representatives of the republican party his utterances on this occasion will be considered the keynote of the campaign which is now under way. His speech was devoted generally to the issue which confronted the voters of California, but he also touched upon national affairs. He commended President Wilson for his efforts to avoid entanglements with European nations, at the same time asserting and maintaining our rights as neutrals upon the high seas, declaring that this was good republican doctrine, but he added: "This expression will not prevent, when the appropriate time arrives, our just criticism of his Mexican policy, or his Phillippine policy, or of the change in our economic policy for which he is responsible and which showed its destructive effect upon our business prosperity for the year of its operation before the European war somewhat neutralized its effect. It need not and will not close our eyes to the lack of governmental efficiency which his appointments, for political reasons, without regard to fitness, have already created and the effects of which will more fully appear as his administration wears on. The finances of the government are in a San Francisco has more than half the bonded indebtedness of the counties with $42,000,000, while several counties, including Alameda, have no bonded indebtedness whatever. The total number of acres of land assessed is $46,412,143. The total value of real estate is $1,748,084,686. Improvements are placed at $690,393,917; operative property at $365,591,083, and railroads at $153,481,279.

It need not and will not close our eyes to the lack of governmental efficiency which his appointments, for political reasons, without regard to fitness, have already created and the effects of which will more fully appear as his administration wears on. The finances of the government are in a bad condition. The deficit of 75,000,000 for the last year is not an encouraging fact to face when we consider that we are to lose $50,000,000 by the repeal of the sugar tax and as much more by the lapsing of the socalled war revenue tax." Mr. Taft declared that legitimate business was being injured by an overdose of reform legislation. "In no state has such legislation been as varied and as far reaching as in your own state," he said. "Commission after commission has been created to exercise a discretionary executive power over many fields of business activity. Such commissions have greatly increased the executive patronage and the annual expenditures of public funds. Your annual government expenses are rapidly increasing. Since 1911 the report of the Secretary of States seems to show an increase in them of more than 40 per cent in three years, while in the same time the capitalization of foreign and domestic corporations annually filed with the Secretary of State have been reduced from $1,500,000,000 in 1911 to $300,000,000 in 1915. The significance of this increase of government expenses and reduction of newly invested capital cannot be gained said by way of illustration bears out what I have said, that in our proper eagerness to prevent the corrupt reign of corporate power, we have injured and frightened legitimate capital and we are going to suffer for it." Speaking on the subject of Gov. Johnson's non-partisan scheme he declared that no state could afford to divorce itself from national politics. "No one in the whole history of the wildest bysteria of radical legislation has everbefore suggested a destruction of party government in states," said her. "What will be the result of this new patent of state non-partisanship? The people will lose the ordinary machinery for giving forth their will in governmental action. It would give to an executive a vast and daunting expires on first Monday in January following general election person appointed by governor to fill vacancy shall hold to expiration of term. Authorizing legislature to provide land colonization system, establish rural credit system in aid of agriculture. Provides conditions for the deposit of state, county and municipal money in banks.

Edwards of Orange returned Saturday from a two weeks' absence during which he visited his mother and sister in Naco, Arizona, a city from whose elevation he was afforded an excellent view of the movements of United States troopers and Mexican soldiers. Mr. Edwards witnessed several so-called "battles" between detachments of different guerilla elements of the Mexicans, in one of which the battle scarred veterans on the losing side threw off their accountments of war and fled like sheep before a wolf. The Orange realty man brought home with him a poor opinion of the value of Mexican arms—also a belt that had been discarded in the haste of its military owner to make his getaway, the latter being brought as a souvenir of the bloodless battles witnessed. Restless, little bands of Mexican soldiers, representing various factions, were coming into the city or leaving all the while, many of these bands being apparently without any recognized leader.

FARM ADVISORY That a saving of new a year to California is through the adoption of item of shipping grain, B. H. Cocheron, farm extension department city. Initial steps for a cause farmers to adopt shipping plan instead meeting of farm advisor Railroad men, mill owners also attended themselves as favoring ture. At present the California is valued at $28,000,000 elimination of sacks and sack, 10 per cent of valuation will be saved. Johnson's non-partisan scheme he declared that no state could afford to divorce itself from national politics. "No one in the whole history of the wildest hysteria of radical legislation has ever before suggested a destruction of party government in states," said her. "What will be the result of this new patent of state non-partisan ship? The people will lose the ordinary machinery for giving forth their will in governmental action. It would give to an executive a vast and dangerous power. There would be no organized force in the legislature to stand against him. The organization which a governor of great personal ambition and political experience could effect with many thousand employees, would absolutely control the state. In the destruction of all political party organizations he would become the one political party in the state." The ex-president also favored welcoming back into the fold the prodigal progressives if they came prepared to subscribe to the time-honored doctrines of the republican party, but he strongly advised against a compromise or the acceptance of any of the crazy-quilt planks of the progressive platform. CALIFORNIA'S VALUATION The assessed valuation of all property in the state of California is $3,311,467,744, according to a report filed by State Controller John S. Chambers for the year 1915-1916. This is an increase over last year of $78,000,000. The total indebtedness of the counties of the state, exclusive of bonds issued by reclamation, road, school and irrigation and other districts is $62,628,614, an increase of $5,275,068. Of the counties, Los Angeles ranks first in valuation with $707,823,600 or more than one-fifth of the total. LEAVES $5000 TO CHURCH AND SCHOOL Under the will of Mrs. Rosa Leitzmann, who died in this city on July 30, $1200 is left to the College of Medical Evangelists at Loma Linda and $3800 to the Foreign Missions of the Seventh Day Adventist institutions. Her will was written on November 21, 1914. She directs that $1200 be left to the Loma Linda institution, $3800 to the foreign mission work, $2000 to be divided among five grandchildren in Palisades, Colo., and the rest to her son, Charles G. Leitzmann, of Red Level, Ala. On July 22, 1915, a little over a week before her death, Mrs. Leitzmann had a codicil prepared and executed under which she gives $1000 to Caroline Trendle of Anaheim, for her kindness and care of her during her last illness. One of the prominent social events of the early fall season will be the reception to the teachers of our city schools and the trustees and their wives by the Ebell society next Saturday afternoon. This pretty custom was inaugurated several years ago and since then has been held each year. Each person will wear a card bearing his or her name and either wear or carry something emblematic of his native state.

CHARLESTON'S TRIAL SET FOR DEC. 7 Young Man Pleads Not Gullity and Declares Intention of Fighting To the End The arraignment of Roy Charleston, charged with stealing furniture from his employer, Albert Graham, which was set for last Friday, was postponed until Tuesday, and on that date he entered a plea of not guilty, and his trial was set for Tuesday, Dec. 7. Charleston states that rumors current that he and his friends were endeavoring to effect a settlement out of court and have the charges withdrawn, are erroneous. He maintains his innocence and declares his intention of fighting the case to the end. Mr. Graham also states that the stories of a possible compromise have no foundation. He has no knowledge of any such proposition, and would not entertain one if it was made to him. As a matter of fact he states, it is out of his hands and he could not make a settlement if he wanted to. It is a question for the court to settle. The trial will come up on Dec. 7. H. G. Ames of this city and E. C. Peck of Los Angeles will appear for Charleston. ST.

TWO FINE BUCKS KILLED BY ANAHEIMERS John and Archie Henry rolled up in front of the Palace meat market at 4 o'clock Tuesday evening and unoladed from their automobile two of the largest bucks ever brought to Anaheim by local sports. They left Friday for the Piru valley in Ventura county in search of big game, but saw nothing until seven o'clock Tuesday morning when they caught sight of a bunch of two bucks and five does apparently going to water. Archie turned loose his artillery and brought down his buck, followed an instant later by John's rifle and the second fell. The does scampered off leaving their two lords dead on the ground. John's kill was a five-pointer and Archie's had four points. The boys estimated the weight of the animals at 225 and 200 pounds. Mr. Schumacher and his assistant dressed the meat at the Palace market Tuesday night, and say the estimated weight is probably correct. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EXHIBITS AT FAIR Splendid Showing of Cotton From Orange and Imperial Counties Southern California, the group of counties which comprise the seven most southerly counties of the state: Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Orange, Ventura and Imperial, has collectively installed in the palace of agriculture at the Panama Pacific International Exposition one of the most extensive exhibits in the palace. Southern California has always been noted for the fertility of its soil—at least it has been noted for Hilend Gets Contrac Frank Davis, William Hansard and A. V. Wheeler, the committee appointed for the purpose of receiving bids and awarding contract for the river protection work, met at the board of trade rooms at 12 o'clock yesterday afternoon for the purpose of considering figures. Six firms submitted bids, but it was found that J. S. Hilend of this city was the lowest, and he was awarded the contract. His bid was 12 cents per cubic yard of earth and $4 each for planting the piles. There are 5000 cubic yards of earth to be moved and 400 piles to drive, consequently his figures total $2200, which is $241 below the next lowest. Local Notes Grape picking is in progress now, and numerous wagon loads of the luscious fruit are coming daily to the wineries. Mellitus Indica for cover crops. H. H. Gardner Co. 114 N. Los Angeles.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH SERVICE AT FULLERTON The regular monthly service of the Holy Communion with sermon, of the Episcopal church, Rev. David Todd Gillmor rector, will be held in hotel Shay, Fullerton, Sunday, October 3, at 8 o'clock A.M. THIRD ANNIVERSARY The third anniversary of the rectorship of St. Michael's Episcopal church, by the Rev. David Todd Gillmor, will be celebrated, Sunday, Oct. 3rd, at the eleven o'clock service. Mr. Gillmor cordially invites all members and friends of the church to be present on this occasion and show by their presence and interest, a good outlook for the work given in his hands during his fourth year as rector of this Parish. Work is being done by Mr. Gillmor in Fullerton, La Miranda, Brea, Olinda, Placentia, Stanton and Buena Park. All things look bright for the coming year. FARM ADVISORS That a saving of nearly $3,000,000 a year to California grain growers, through the adoption of the bulk system of shipping grain, is declared by B. H. Cocheron, farm leader of the extension department of the university. Initial steps for a campaign to induce farmers to adopt the bulk grain shipping plan instead of the usual shipment by sacks were taken at a meeting of farm advisors in Stockton. Railroad men, mill owners and grain buyers also attended and expressed themselves as favoring the new venture. At present the California grain crop is valued at $28,000,000. Through the elimination of sacks and the loss by sack, 10 per cent of the total crop valuation will be saved. Southern California, the group of counties which comprise the seven most southerly counties of the state: Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Orange, Ventura and Imperial, has collectively installed in the palace of agriculture at the Panama Pacific International Exposition one of the most extensive exhibits in the palace. Southern California has always been noted for the fertility of its soil—at least it has been noted for its soil richness since vast irrigation systems have been installed. For this reason the counties produce some of the best agricultural products of the world and is justly proud of them. Of the cereals included in the exhibit the main ones are barley, oats, wheat and Kaffir corn, milo maize and Federita, which comes from the Imperial valley. While the southern counties are not among the most productive in these grains it is only because the farmers have seen fit to plant their land in other crops which bring greater incomes. The wheat and barley, as well as oats, raised in Southern California, are of the best grade and the land produces a greater tonnage than the northwest or middle west states which engage in grain farming on a more extensive scale. Probably the main feature of the Southern California agricultural exhibit is the elaborate showing of cotton, the majority of which is from the Imperial valley and Orange county. A short time ago few would have dreamed that California is peculiarly fitted by reason of its soil and climate, to cultivate first class cotton. Today the fact has been ably demonstrated that California cotton is equal to any cotton raised anywhere. The tonnage per acre is heavier than in the Southern and Gulf states and in quality only the cotton of the Nile delta equals it. Another Southern California product featured is Ramie fibre. This fibre is being extensively cultivated in the Southern counties and is being turned into binders twine and rope. The plant recently imported from the Philippine islands and has been found to flourish here. Orange county has featured its peat land. This soil is one of the best varieties of the state and is very productive.

Through the elimination of sacks and the loss by sack, 10 per cent of the total crop valuation will be saved. Farm advisors of the counties represented at the meeting were instructed to continue investigation of the proposed shipments and gain full information before placing the matter before the growers and shippers for an ultimate decision. The sense of the meeting was unanimous that the plan was feasible and would greatly aid shippers as well as growers. At present, California is the only state that has not adopted bulk shipments. THE NO-PARTY PLOT If it is a good thing to destroy political parties in this state, as the Johnson organs are working overtime to tell us, why should it not also be a good thing to destroy political parties in the nation. Why insist that national political parties be retained, and that such parties in this state be destroyed. What is the object of it? Is it because Hiram Johnson desires to be a non-partisan candidate for the United States senatorship next year? Winter is coming. We clean overcoats. Anaheim Dye Works. The A. N.

Hamler has placed in the show window of Al Erickson's store a large photograph of the delegates to the meeting of the California League of Municipalities at Oakland. There were more than two hundred men in the line, Mr. Hamler and City Engineer Steward being among them. In the center of the picture is William Howard Taft with Mayor Davis of Oakland, and President Snow on either side of him. Mr. Hamler has fixed a card in the frame which reads: "For better times see man in center." At the board of trade meeting on Monday evening Henry Adams said he would like to see a number of large sign boards conveniently located upon which wear outlined products raised here, giving their names and quantity. Tourists passing through would see them and it would be a fine advertisement for the town. The lettering could be artistically done, and the boards could be made up attractively, and the many tourists on the Camino Real would be enlightened at a glance as to our natural resources. The matter is to be taken up by an active committee and there is no question but what the sign boards would not be a good investment. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Sulte 1, Mullinix bldg., Anaheim.

WE RENT SEWING MACHINES International Furniture Co. Anaheim Store: New Masonic Bldg. Pacific 38-J 351,353 N. Main St. MR. EDISON'S PROGRAM There is a sharp contrast between the views on national preparedness held by William Jennings Bryan and Thomas A. Edison. Mr. Bryan has recently visited President Wilson, and report says, has induced him to cramp the defense program to which he had seemingly grudgingly assented. This in consideration of a promise that Mr. Bryan would not oppose the amended and reduced program. No doubt this was necessary from a party standpoint, for national preparedness looms large as an issue in the next campaign and a split in the democratic party on that issue would be unfortunate—for the party. But while Mr. Bryan advocates the high mission of America in becoming a fat and helpless old Chinaman of a nation, a standing invitation to the violence of any power which may covet our goods, Thomas A. Edison, possessor of the grandest brain in the whole world of science, outlines a sane plan of national defense and speaks for the conservation of that world respect which is the only guarantee of national safety and which arises only out of a healthy respect for our power of enforcing our rights. He says: "We need plenty of officers, drill sergeants and trained experts. And to provide these men we should have at least two military academies in addition to West Point and then several schools of less comprehensive scape to train drill sergeants, artillerymen, avi-capcity double that which we might imagine to be needed under the most unfavorable conditions. These plants should be equipped to make their own acids and should have a great stock of raw materials. "I cannot overstate the value of good military roads; the railroads have nothing like their elasticity. "Given good roads and plenty of motor cars, one million men, with artillery and supplies, could be shifted 200 miles in twenty-four hours. There is nothing like a motor car on a good road for the rapid transportation of men and materials. "I should give the government the right to commandeer any article or piece of property which might be needed for war; I would not stop at any measure which might insure efficiency. "So much for the army. The first line of defense must be the navy, and I would make our navy among the most powerful on earth, with a great number of extremely rapid ships of the highest gun power. I would build many fast mine laying boats and store them in fresh water rivers. I would have several hundred submarines, stored mostly on land. And, of course, I would have an excessive number of mines and torpedoes." It has been contended by the unconvinced that national preparedness is the talk of jingoos. The nation, however, will have little difficulty in deciding which is the jingoo, Mr. Bryan or Mr. Edison. The gas became into the heavier 200 feet. The gas resembled was heard for the conservation of that world respect which is the only guarantee of national safety and which arises only out of a healthy respect for our power of enforcing our rights. He says: "We need plenty of officers, drill sergeants and trained experts. And to provide these men we should have at least two military academies in addition to West Point and then several schools of less comprehensive scape to train drill sergeants, artillerymen, aviators, signal men and the other classes of expert war men. The graduates from these schools will be given a year or two of experience and then returned to private life on a small salary in order that they might always be on call. "Here we would have the brains of a great army ready on the drop of a hat, and we would not be a militarist nation or have a great force of professional soldiers. "I should provide the coast and harbor fortifications with the most powerful armaments that could be devised, and I should provide more field artillery per capita than any other nation. I think we ought to keep in stock at least half as many guns as the French now have on the firing line, and supplement these with a great number of forgings, rough turned and bored, ready for a quick finishing when needed. "These guns must have plenty of ammunition. I would provide for more ammunition than the military men could possible use; I would be extravagant in every ammunition estimate, and would keep a vast stock—enough for all the needs of several months' war. "This stock would not be of itself enough for an extensive war, and therefore I should build large government plants in various section of the country, capable of enormous manufacturing capacity; I would suggest a Eggs Always fresh from local ranches.
