The Board adjourned to Oct. 5, 1915 at 10 a.m. ORANGE CONSTABLE OBJECTS TO DECREASE Fights Reduction of Salary by County Auditor Jerome Constable G. L. Jackson of Orange township has started mandamus proceedings against County Auditor W. C. Jerome to compel him to pay $75 a month. Jerome, acting on the advise of the district attorney, has made out Jackson's monthly salary warrant at $50 instead of $75. The Orange constable's case was brought through Attorneys Williams Rutan. It is alleged that in December, 1914, a census of Orange township was taken, showing the population to be 8361, and under the old county government act Jackson was entitled to a raise from $50 to $75, the population of the township being over 8000. Last spring the legislature passed a new county government act that made a new classification of townships. Under that classification Jackson would get but $50 a month, while various justices and constables would get raises. However, the district attorney ruled that the decisions are such that raises of salaries could not be allowed, while salaries could be lowered. Therefore Jackson was due for a drop. The same drop did not strike Justice of the Peace Armor of Orange for the reason that the district attorney held that a recently passed constitutional amendment gave a judicial officer the benefit of whatever compensation he started out with at the beginning of his term. The mandamus action brought by the Orange constable will have no effect either way upon other salaries paid by the county. CONSERVING PUBLIC HEALTH After a lapse of nearly a year a case He has staked off three claims near Twenty-nine Palms. The specimens of ore he is exhibiting are from a ledge which he believes will measure 60 feet. He has cross-cut this for a distance of 40 feet and is confident that it extends fully 40 feet further. Some of his specimens have been assayed at eight dollars per ton, and he fully believes the ore will run as high as $40. Mr. Harkey's claim is not far from the operations of the Fullerton Mining & Milling company. He reports this concern making good progress. NEW RECORD IN SUGAR MAKING CONTEST As a result of considerable rivalry between the day and night forces at the American Beet Sugar company factory at Chino, several new records have been hung up already during the annual sugar making campaign which is going full tilt at the present time. In 24 hours, the two shifts made 4020 sacks of sugar, hanging up a new 24 hour record for the factory and probably for any factory in the state. An average run is about 3000 sacks for the 24 hours. Eleven hundred tons of sugar beets were ground for that amount of sugar. The highest record for beet cutting in 24 hours this season has been 2430 tons which mark is thought to be a high-water degree for any factory of similar capacity. The season will close between the 1st and 10th of November with about 110,000 tons of beets transformed into sugar. TRADE BALANCE WILL TURN AGAINST US WHEN WAR ENDS Whether the United States can hope to hold its place as the leading export nation of the world, is a problem now receiving the attention of the business men of America. It was the European war that gave the United States its present preeminence. What will happen when the war shall close is the great question which very properly causes anxiety among men who are financially interested in the continuance of that partially restored prosperity now prevailing in some sections of the country. Men who are accustomed to dealing with conditions, rather than theories, and who build on reasonable certainties, rather than on possibilities, Samuel C.

People have eize, fraternal, educa and other parties or CONSERVING PUBLIC HEALTH After a lapse of nearly a year a case of human plague occurred in the city of New Orleans on the 27th of August. This case was confirmed as true bubonic plague on September 8. The epidemiological investigations as to the exact source of the infection have not yet been completed but it is believed that it was probably received in the city of New Orleans. Up to date over 91,000 buildings in that city have been rat-proofed and over 435,000 rodents have been captured in traps alone. The occurrence of this case demonstrates the difficulties surrounding the eradication of the disease and indicates that had it not been for the active co-operative efforts of the United States Public Health Service and of the departments of health of the state of Louisiana and the city of New Orleans, the outbreak would have reached greater proportions and would have been longer continued. It also points out to other cities the necessity for ridding themselves of the rodent carriers of the disease and of thoroughly rat-proofing all of their buildings. No fear is felt that this case will be followed by an outbreak. Officers and men of the health service well trained in the control of the disease, are on the ground and with the health authorities of the city of New Orleans are taking every precaution to prevent the spread of the disease from the city and within it. Men who are accustomed to dealing with conditions, rather than theories, and who build on reasonable certainties, rather than on possibilities, do not overlook the fact that in July 1914, just before the outbreak of the European war, there was a very alarming balance of trade against the United States. They will not forget that the balance of trade turned against us soon after the tariff-for-revenue policy was decided upon by the election of a democratic administration and that it was only the conditions developed by the European war which turned the tide in our favor. Will the balance of trade turn against us again when the cause which turned it in our favor has been removed? Most business men are answering this question in the affirmative, believing that since it was "war orders" that formed the basis of a favorable trade balance, that balance can continue only so long as the war shall remain a factor in international commerce. There are several facts which no one disputes: First, the call of millions of men in Europe from industrial activity to military operations decreased production on that continent. Second, the war not only decreased production abroad but destroyed many products already manufactured, and created new and enormous markets. Third, the old large producing nation ready to supply the commodities most in demand by reason of the war ANAHEIM GAZETTE Thursday, Sept. 30 was the United States; hence this country received a greater part of the war orders. Fourth, as soon as the armies of Europe are disbanded, those million of men will return to manufacturing and other productive enterprise. Fifth, European nations will be impoverished, and the United States, as a result of its large favorable trade balance, will be the onyl country in a position to buy extensively. Sixth, as a consequence of high prices paid by buyers of war equipment, wages in many American industries have been increased, and when European producers again begin activity the American producer will be thrown into competition with factor-les paying the lowest scale of wages, while American mills pay the highest. The foregoing facts present a situation which the business men of America must meet, and they are now giving it most careful thought. It is a situation which will confront not merely large manufacturers of the country, but every farmer, merchant, mechanic and laborer who depends for a livelihood upon the general prosperity of the nation. SHORTRIDGE RAPS NON-PARTISANISM Declares no State Can Afford to Separate Itself From National Politics Samuel C. Shortridge delivered an address in Oakland a day or two since in which, speaking on the subject of the non-partisan proposition, he upheld the right of American citizens to organize, and declared that the very existence of a non-partisan party belied the spirit of its apparent propaganda. Mr. Shortridge maintained that no state in the union can afford to separate itself from the national field of politics. He emphasizes the point that the right to organize California Wine Co.

Shortridge delivered an address in Oakland a day or two since in which, speaking on the subject of the non-partisan proposition, he upheld the right of American citizens to organize, and declared that the very existence of a non-partisan party belled the spirit of its apparent propaganda. Mr. Shortridge maintained that no state in the union can afford to separate itself from the national field of politics. He emphasizes the point that the right to organize politically should be recognized and guaranteed by the state as much as the right to organize for fraternal, social, commercial or religious purposes, and he pointed out that the object of the non-partisan law is to ultimately break down or injure national parties. He said: "We should have great national organizations and great national problems. The nation will divide itself on fundamental problems. If national parties are inevitable, if it is necessary for the welfare and safety of the nation that such parties should be kept alive, then it is necessary that the spirit of those parties also should be kept alive. "I believe reverently in the fundamental principle underlying the republican party, but I know men as good and better who believe in the great historic democratic party. "The people, under the federal constitution and the one of the state have a right to meet, to instruct representatives, and to petition for redress for wrongs. This is a representative government and one of my objections is to that group of men who are trying to change the form. "The plan and purpose, the ultimate end of the non-partisan law, is to break down and injure the respective national parties. California is not an independent nation. We are one of a family of states and we depend upon legislation of a national character. We cannot stand alone. "Non-partisanship has grown into a party. The very non-partisanship is a party. "The primary law and the non-partisan law in breaking down party lines will close the door to the poor man who seeks state recognition, and open it to the rich man. To make a single-handed fight it becomes necessary to spend great sums to bring one to the attention of the voters of the state.

THE BEAN CROP Threshing outfits are working as many hours per day as they can get in harvesting Orange county's big bean crop. The greatest part of the work is done, but some of the field have not yet been threshed. According to estimates made by a bean buyer and a well informed grower, Orange county's bean crop will bring in not less than $4,457,000 this fall. There are 370,000 sacks of lima beans already threshed or in the field. They are bringing from $3.50 to $3.75 a sack, each sack weighing eighty pounds. Taking $3.60 as the average price per sack, a total for limas will be $1,332,000. There are 50,000 sacqs of blackeyes, weighing seventy-five pounds to the sack, bringing $2.50 a sack, making $125,000 for blackeyes. The annual report of J. E. Phelps, state insurance commissioner, filed with Governor Johnson, shows that during 1914 the total insurance premiums and assessments received on California business was $56,699,811, for all forms of insurance, and the losses paid were $21,899,683. On ordinary life insurance the premiums received totaled $19,831,311, and the losses paid were $6,913,969. SAFETY FIRST for your insurance policy in case of fire.
