SO. CALIFORNIA EXHIBITS AT BIG FAIR WONDERFUL DISPLAY OF FRUITS AT THE PALACE OP HORTI-CULTURE, SAN FRANCISCO FIGS, OLIVES, NUTS AND TROPICAL PRODUCTS ALSO EXHIBITED In order to maintain its reputation as a fruit producing district the seven counties included in the Southern California at the Panama Pacific International Exposition has installed a wonderful exhibit of fruits in the palace of Horticulture. The association has featured citrus fruits for which the seven counties are famous. Golden oranges of all varieties are piled in great pyramids and are exhibited both processed and fresh. Southern California is famous for here oranges, famous not only for the quantity of oranges produced but for the flavor of the fruit. There is no other section in America which produces more oranges than in the southern part of this state. The crop has made fortunes for orchardists and commission men and the industry gains in importance yearly. Lemon and grape fruits are the remaining fruits exhibited in the palace of horticulture by Southern California. As in the case of oranges, Southern California is the pinnacle of lemon and grapefruit cultivation. Thousands of cars bearing these fruits are annually shipped to the Eastern and Middle West markets, as well as to foreign countries where they demand the highest prices. Southern California has made a speciality of her nut exhibit which is necessity for legislation to provide that "unfair competition from abroad" at the close of the war "shall not be permitted to injure American industry." The secretary has announced that in his next annual report to congress he will recommend the enactment of laws to prevent the "dumping" of foreign products into the American markets. Considered in connection with Secretary Redfield's statement, the action of congress in eliminating the "anti-dumping" clause from the Underwood tariff law assumes the proportions of a colossal blunder. That the enactment of the Underwood bill would render imperative at least a small measure of protection to American industries was conceded by the Ways and Means committee when it reported the tariff bill. To provide it the committee recommended an "anti-dumping" clause, declaring in its report that it was to "guard the producers of the United States against the demoralization of American markets caused by low-priced foreign importations." The clause provided in substance that upon exported foreign articles not on the free list also manufactured in the United States, a special duty of not to exceed fifteen per cent should be levied whenever the foreign price was less than the fair market value at home. The house passed this provision. The republicans unsuccessfully tried to increase it and then to a man voted for it. The senate finance committee struck it from the bill, and in spite of united republican efforts to restore it, the tariff bill passed the Senate without the anti-dumping clause, eventually becoming a law in that form. The anti-dumping clause thus thrown into the discard was very pated; he has taken open to him, though volves a confession of the Underwood producer. Summed, present financial concern the tariff law falls on the revenue its farmers calculated on by since the sugar due underwood act provided moved on May 1, $50,000,000, the spec war tax about $90,000,000 annual deficit amount 000,000. All the blame for shortage the admin place upon the war Clark says there is no revenue" due to retary McAdoo want retained until "norditions are restored statistics of the demerce show that in the war there was a value of our import cent of $220,000,000 crease does not ex with the revenue" country $240,000,000 lawmakers had figure. The people will special war tax in they will contribute that is still needed t in whatever way conbut when the 1916 around the adminis will call for explain means that the open tariff will be su scrutiny. There is a that this will be th Lemon and grape fruits are the remaining fruits exhibited in the palace of horticulture by Southern California. As in the case of oranges, Southern California is the pinnicle of lemon and grapefruit cultivation. Thousands of cars bearing these fruits are annually shipped to the Eastern and Middle West markets, as well as to foreign countries where they demand the highest prices. Southern California has made a speciality of her nut exhibit which is a very extensive one. This section of the horticultural exhibit embraces almonds, walnuts, pecans and peanuts. Many varieties are shown of each of the nuts, although the exhibit caters more to walnuts and almonds than the remaining varieties. Olives and olive oil are another feature of the exhibit, which is attracting the attention of the public. Many of the olives exhibited are the product of olives brought years ago from Palestine. Southern California today possesses a number of the best olive orchards in the world and some of the largest plants where olives are canned and bottled and oil extracted for culinary and medicinal purposes. This exhibit also contains many of the deciduous fruits for which California is famous. These include apples, peaches, pears, berries, plums, prunes grapes, apricots, nectarines, cherries and quinces. The deciduous fruit industry of Southern California is about equal to the combined citrus fruit industry. California is today supplying the Eastern markets with much of the deciduous fruits and the fruit men are accumulating fortunes. The fruit is of first quality and the trees yield the heaviest of crops. Southern California has added to the exhibit an extensive feature of dried fruits which represent the great packing industries of the seven southern counties. One of the most attractive features of the exhibit is the wonderful showing of dates from the Coachella valley and Heber district of the Imperial valley. This feature contains more than 250 varieties of dates, many of which have no equal anywhere in the world. Some of the dates in the exhibit came from the federal government experimental farms while others came from private ranches. A few years ago the date industry in Southern California was an experiment. Today it is an established fact that a California will produce dates which are excelled in no other section of the Orient, Northern Africa or the Mediterranean countries. Date culture has been studied from a scientific standpoint in the Coachella valley and today date growers are as sure of their crops as other fruit ranchers are sure of the more common fruit. Those who have engaged in this industry have recently declared that Asia Minor and Northern Africa are about to lose their titles as the best date producing countries to Southern California. Carranza is a weakling, more agitated about the gold braid of his uniform than the destiny of his country. Not in truth, concerned as to the lat price was less than the fair market value at home. The house passed this provision. The republicans unsuccessfully tried to increase it and then to a man voted for it. The senate finance committee struck it from the bill, and in spite of united republican efforts to restore it, the tariff bill passed the Senate without the anti-dumping clause, eventually becoming a law in that form. The anti-dumping clause thus thrown into the discard was very evidently a necessity, the demand for which was acutely emphasized by the passage of the law from which it was finally eliminated. In recommending anti-dumping legislation now, Secretary Redfield has not merely turned the limelight upon a legislative blunder of his party. He has justified the position of the republicans and virtually championed their cause. UNDOING BRYAN'S WORK When Secretary Lansing assumed office he found that his predecessor had left a Mexican problem with which to deal. Every act of Bryan's touching this problem, had added to its complexity. The United States had not taken any position and adhered to it. It had wobbled almost grotesquely. To put the matter in common phrase, it had started something it could not finish, a bad policy for an individual or a nation. The conception of a Pan-American conference was Mr. Lansing's. It afforded the administration a way out, and it saved the administration face. There was an onerous responsibility most deftly shifted. The recognition of Carranza was an excellent thing for the peace of mind about the white house. Whether it was a good thing for Mexico is still to be determined. Villa naturally feels that he has been outraged, and, that his overtures have come to nothing; his asseveration of good intent been ignored, must be to him a slap from the back of a contemptuous hand. If he has the common people behind him, as he says, the Mexican revolution has acquired a new impetus, and the troubles of Carranza have just begun. Well, Uncle Sam it out of it. He admits that government ceases to be his intimate concern. Carranza is a weakling, more agitated about the gold braid of his uniform than the destiny of his country. Not in truth, concerned as to the lat price was less than the fair market value at home. The house passed this provision. The republicans unsuccessfully tried to increase it and then to a man voted for it. The senate finance committee struck it from the bill, and in spite of united republican efforts to restore it, the tariff bill passed the Senate without the anti-dumping clause, eventually becoming a law in that form. The anti-dumping clause thus thrown into the discard was very evidently a necessity, the demand for which was acutely emphasized by the passage of the law from which it was finally eliminated.

He has justified the position of the republicans and virtually championed their cause. KNOCKER ANGEL It may be old, but it is put out on a cultural Extension Chicago.

There is a that this will be tha Today it is an established fact that a California will produce dates which are excelled in no other section of the Orient, Northern Africa or the Mediterranean countries. Date culture has been studied from a scientific standpoint in the Coachella valley and today date growers are as sure of their crops as other fruit ranchers are sure of the more common fruit. Those who have engaged in this industry have recently declared that Asia Minor and Northern Africa are about to lose their titles as the best date producing countries to Southern California where the date is more scientifically cultivated under the auspices of the United States government. California figs are today the best in the world notwithstanding the fact that the Smyra deniers are claiming this honor. The Calamyrna fig which is an improvement on the fig of the Holy Land is rapidly forging ahead in the market and is finding its way into exclusive homes which formerly consumed imported figs. Figs of many varieties are included in the Southern California horticultural exhibit and are adding greatly to the exhibit as a whole. This exhibit does not end with the fruits common to California but includes a number of tropical and semitropical fruits which have been brought to this state from Mexico, Central and South America. These include the alucado, which some dealers say will some time in the future take the place of meat. The aluacado is generally known by the more homely name of alligator pear. On the Los Angeles market it retails for fifty cents to one dollar per fruit. In the Eastern market it sells at a price which is invariably in the vicinity of one dollar. Today there are only five acres of orchards producingahuachados but there are more than 200 acres which have been planted in this fruit. Many other tropical and semi-tropical fruits are included in the exhibit which is one of the most extensive in the Palace of Horticulture. THE ANTI-DUMPING LAW Again the word failure has been written in bold type across the text of a law enacted by congress. No less person than Secretary of Commerce Redfield has admitted the secretary of the treasury announces that he will recommend to congress that the emergency revenue act, which expires by statutory limitation on December 31, 1915 be extended until peace is restored in Europe, and that the present duty on sugar, which the Underwood tariff act provided should be removed on May 1, 1916, be retained until "normal customs conditions are restored." With these two sources of revenue in operation the government at the present time is spending at the rate of $100,000,000 a year more than it receives, so that if Congress adopts Mr. McAdoo's recommendations, as it must inevitably, it will make no step of progress toward meeting the deficit. With the present ratio of income to expenditures maintained congress must provide some new means for raising another $100,000,000 a year to bring the government out even. This, of course, does not take into account the money that undoubtedly will have to be appropriated for the national defense, which has been estimated at anywhere from $300,000,000 to $700,000,000 and for which separate provision will be made, probably by an issue of bands. Secretary McAdoo's recommendations could easily have been antici- A $240,000,000 REVENUE SHORTAGE The secretary of the treasury announces that he will recommend to congress that the emergency revenue act, which expires by statutory limitation on December 31, 1915 be extended until peace is restored in Europe, and that the present duty on sugar, which the Underwood tariff act provided should be removed on May 1, 1916, be retained until "normal customs conditions are restored."

Secretary McAdoo's recommendations could easily have been antici- ANAHEIM GAZETTE Thursday, Oct. 24 pated; he has taken the only course open to him, though it necessarily involves a confession of the total failure of the Underwood act as a revenue producer. Summed up the country's present financial condition proves that the tariff law falls short of yielding the revenue its framers and supporters calculated on by about $240,000,000 since the sugar duty, which the Underwood act provided should be removed on May 1, 1916, yields about $50,000,000, the special revenue act or war tax about $90,000,000, while the annual deficit amounts to about $100,000,000. All the blame for this $240,000,000 shortage the administration leaders place upon the war. Speaker Champ Clark says there is a "difficulty with the revenue" due to the war, and Secretary McAdoo wants the sugar duty retained until "normal customs conditions are restored." And yet the statistics of the department of commerce show that in the first year of the war there was a falling off in the value of our imports of only 24 per cent of $220,000,000. Plainly this decrease does not explain a "difficulty with the revenue" that leaves the country $240,000,000 short on what the lawmakers had figured on. The people will go on paying the special war tax in time of peace and they will contribute the $100,000,000 that is still needed to make ends meet, in whatever way congress may dictate, but when the 1916 campaign rolls around the administration's financing will call for explanation, and that means that the operation of the new tariff will be subjected to deep scrutiny. There is no reason to doubt that this will be the big issue. KNOCKER AND BOOSTER From every section of the country comes a demand for an immediate revision of the tariff. Whether the demand will be powerful enough to move the administration remains to be seen. On the Pacific coast agricultural, horticultural, viticultural and stock raising interests, as well as lumber interests, are directly and most injuriously affected by the present tariff rates. In the middle west, everything produced from the soil or mined therefrom, and stock raising interests, are vitally affected thereby. In the East in addition to the farming population, manufacturers have been most severely injured by the present tariff. Prosperity growing out of the war trade has relieved the situation of the Eastern manufacturers to a large extent. As far as the political effect of the tariff upon the country is concerned, it is to be regretted that the European war broke out before August 1st, 1916. By that time the people of the United States would have been plunged so deep into financial despair that the revolution against our present tariff laws would have been overwhelming. Still, enough of misery has sifted through the accidental prosperity occasioned by the war to convince the voter that the tariff is an issue upon whose correct decision the prosperity of all of our people hangs. As an illustration of the effect of the present tariff upon our customs receipts, it is well to know that the importations through the port of New York for the thirteen months preceding the war were ...$2,053,602,948 Thel importations for 13 KNOCKER AND BOOSTER It may be old, but it's mighty good. It is put out on a card by the Agricultural Extension department of Chicago. If it's new to you, you will enjoy it, if you have seen it before you'll not be harmed by reading it again: When the Creator had made all the good things, there was still some dirty work to do, so He made the beasts and reptiles and poisonous insects, and when He finished He had some scraps that were too bad to put into the raftlesnake, too hyena, the scorpion and the skunk, so He put all these together, covered it with suspicion, wrapped it with jealousy, marked it with a yellow streak and called it a KNOCKER. This product was so fearful to contemplate that He had to make something to counteract it, so He took a sunbeam and put it in the heart of a child, the brain of a man, wrapped these in civic pride, covered it with brotherly love, gave it a mask of velvet and a grasp of steel, and called it a BOOSTER; made him a lover of fields and flowers and many sports, a believer in equality and justice, and ever since these two were, mortal man has had the privilege of choosing his associates. LEMONS IN CALIFORNIA At the State Fruit Growers' meeting at Palo Alto, Mr. G. W. Hosford, manager of the San Dumas Lemon association, gave his opinion regarding the outlook for the lemon industry: California's lemon groves in ten years will produce more lemons than are consumed at present in this country. Of the 32,000 acres of lemon groves in California, over half are not in bearing, and assuming that the old groves continue their present production and that the young groves produce as heavily, we shall be producing within eight or ten years more lemons than are consumed at present in The difference being $256,010,879 or a decrease of but 12 per cent. But the revenue received on these importations for the 13 months of war decreased over 60 per cent, that is, they were 60 per cent less than they would have been on the same amount of importations under the tariff which prevailed prior to the enactment of the present tariff laws. Under a protective tariff this country has always prospered. Under a tariff for revenue, she has always suffered retrogradation. THE DREADNAUGHT CALIFORNIA The keel of the greatest dreadnaught, the California, was laid Thursday noon in the Brooklyn navy yard with a stirring benediction by Secretary of the Navy Daniels. In his dedicatory address, Secretary Daniels warmly argued national preparedness and declared that the California not only marked a revolution in the building of battleships, but was merely one of many more dreadnaughts soon to be built in New York for the United States. The California, with the Mississippi and the Idaho, were authorized by the last congress. The California will be the first battleship in the world to displace 32,000 tons and to be propelled by electricity. With electricity, the California's cruising radius will be 50 per cent greater than that of the Wyoming. With its emergency oil bunkers full it will be able to travel 3600 miles farther than the fartherest-travelling coal-burning dreadnaught. The California will cost $15,000,000. Its armament will feature twelve fourteen-inch guns. It will have extra heavy internal protection. Its secondary armament will include 20 5-inch guns and four submerged 21-inch torpede tubes. Secretary Daniels said that the California's lemon groves in ten years will produce more lemons than are consumed at present in this country. Of the 32,000 acres of lemon groves in California, over half are not in bearing, and assuming that the old groves continue their present production and that the young groves produce as heavily, we shall be producing within eight or ten years more lemons than are consumed at present in this country. "Under the reduced tariff we have found the competition with Sicilian lemons hard to meet in the eastern markets. During the next few years the elimination of the imported lemon must be accomplished in order to market the increased crop which the larger amount of young acreage promises. With increased quality and production through better methods of culture and through the selection of improved strains of our present varieties; with the utilization of waste culls for by-products and the consequent improvement in the quality of the fruit shipped; with improved methods of handling and preparing for market, and with wider advertising, the progressive lemon grower of California feels that he can meet competition with foreign fruit and still produce lemons at a profit in the years to come. The California growers are alive to the situation and have already taken steps to meet the conditions which confront them. A large proportion of the lemons are handled through the selling facilities of the California Fruit Growers' exchange. Practically all of the large shippers/of lemons have availed themselves of the superior facilities of marketing fruit through this organization. The exchange has been working for several years on an extensive advertising campaign for both oranges and lemons. During the coming year for greater than that of the Wyoming. With its emergency oil bunkers full it will be able to travel 3600 miles farther than the fartherest-travelling coal-burning dreadnaught. The California will cost $15,000,000. Its armament will feature twelve fourteen-inch guns. It will have extra heavy internal protection. Its secondary armament will include 20 5-inch guns and four submerged 21-inch torpedo tubes. Secretary Daniels said that the new dreadnaught had been named the California because, like that state, it is in many respects a pioneer. He expressed his gratification that recent litigation has decided in favor of the United States title over oil fields. In California extensive enough to furnish fuel for all new United States battleships.
