ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, NOV. 11 THE GOAT The Federal government undertook to guard against fires in the various forest reserves of California by installing a great goat brigade in the mountains. The idea was that these animals would browse along the firebreaks, keeping down vegetation in such a way that a conflagration could not spread very widely. Wherever one broke out it would soon reach one of these firebreaks, and the broad bands denuded of vegetation by the goats would make an absolute safe-guard against the fire. The idea did not work out as well as it was thought it would, but there is a man up in the mountains named Sylvanus Thurman who had eyes to see a chance when it presented itself. He has made a commercial success of the herd of goats, and has 225 of them, from part of which last year he sheared 200 pounds of wool, which was readily sold to mills in Maine. It takes the place of mohair in the manufacture of cloth. He has his goats in an enclosure of six miles of wire fence, and the intelligent animals were easily trained to return to their domiciles at night in butts constructed for their beds. He expects to multiply his herd indefinitely and to make money out of it. It is not only the hair or wool from the goats, but in these days of rapidly-mounting prices for meat a nice kid well cooked is a savory dish indeed. This has been known since the time of Jacob, Esau and Isac, and long before them. In the Balkans goats are an accessory to pretty nearly every family. In Italy and Spain they are driven through the streets and milked at the doors of the inhabitants every morning and evening. In Switzerland, a very mountainous country, it is difficult to wring a livelihood from the inhospitable soil.

This has been known since the time of Jacob, Esau and Isac, and long before them. In the Balkans goats are an accessory to pretty nearly every family. In Italy and Spain they are driven through the streets and milked at the doors of the inhabitants every morning and evening. In Switzerland, a very mounttainous country, it is difficult to wring a livelihood from the inhositable soil. Wherever a fruit tree will grow one is planted. Wherever a sheaf of wheat or other cereal may be harvested you may be sure it will be harvested. Where neither tree nor cereal can be cultivated cows may browse off the vegetation, and where a cow cannot climb a goat can, and where a goat can't climb a bee can fly. So milk, and honey, bread and meat, are very plentiful in this little mountain republic inhabited by such industrious and frugal people. America is too broad in her rich plains to make such thrift generally necessary so far. But with the population growing at the rate it is, people will have to learn more ingenuity and thrift to get a living from the soil. The mountains where Thurman has his goats are far more hospitable than the Swiss Alps, and life there is not so difficult as in the Alps. Indeed, it is a joy to live in these California mountains that will be appreciated more and more by people like Thurman as they learn the possibilities of gaining a livelihood there. "DEAD GAME" AMERICAN WOMEN It is not surprising to hear, from Dr. Ralph L. Thompson, just returned from Europe, that the American girls serving at nurses at the front are "dead game." "You have to hand it to the American nurses," said the doctor, addressing the members of the alumnii associations of St. Louis University, of which he is a professor of pathology. "Those girls are all dead game. I have seen them working among the wounded in the temporary hospitals, deprived of clean linen and facilities for washing or bathing that made even the men flinch, but they never kicked." Probably it is an attribute of all womankind, but it is certainly an attribute of the American woman, that she never "kicks" when there is something which demands doing and which she feels should be done by her. It is when there is nothing to do that the U.S.JO 120 NORTH LO FURTHER LOSS OF REVENUE POSSIBLE Administration officials are alarmed at the possibility of a further loss in revenue.

I have seen them working among the wounded in the temporary hospitals, deprived of clean linen and facilities for washing or bathing that made even the men flinch, but they never kicked." Probably it is an attribute of all womankind, but it is certainly an attribute of the American woman, that she never "kicks" when there is something which demands doing and which she feels should be done by her. It is when there is nothing to do that the type of American woman falls into that state of mind which leads to unrest and "kicking." She may even, at such unhappy times in her life, begin phonetic practice on that long, hard and harsh word "incompatibility." Let some crisis in family fortunes arise, or some misfortune of anybody making an appeal to her, anything, in short, calling to her womanly spirit of helpfulness—and in a trice she is likely to forget how that long, many syllabled word is even spelled. American girls have proved themselves "dead game" on many occasions before the war in Europe begin. As nurses of the Red Cross in this country, on every stricken field where death and suffering were to be found, they have been seen, enduring hardship and privation, loss of rest, and at times insufficiency of nourishment, bravely and uncomplainingly ministering to the unfortunate. At Johnstown, at Chatsworth, at Galveston, at Frisco —at every place where the hand of Providence has been laid heavily down and at many places where it fell more lightly but still with crushing force, the uniformed soldiers of the Red Cross have been found, doing their appointed work in soldierly ways. The American woman, in or out of uniform, is the happiest on some sort of firing line. Miss Tille Morningstar came down from Los Angeles last week on a visit to her parents. FURTHER LOSS OF REVENUE POSSIBLE Administration officials are alarmed at the possibility of a further loss in revenue. Some months ago certain trust com­panies brought suit to recover amounts paid by them under the war tax law. Their example was followed by oth­ers until at the present time practi­cally every dollar paid by the trust companies under the war tax law is involved in litigation. The first of these cases is set for trial before December 1. It is apparent that the administration is by no means confident of the integrity of the law congress enacted, for addi­tional counsel has been employed to aid government attorneys in defending the suits. It is said that unusu­ally large retainers have been paid on both sides for legal advice. The litigation is particularly vexa­tious to the government because con­gress laid the foundation for it by a stupid blunder. The tax involved is levied under section 3 of the war tax law referring to banks and bankers. At the time it was passed federal courts had already declared that a statute identical in terms, so far as trust companies were concerned, with the present law, was insufficient to make trust companies liable for the tax imposed. It is said that if Congress had exer­cised ordinary caution and drafted the war tax law so that it should not con­flict with a precedent already estab­lished by federal courts, the litigation could have been avoided. By carelessly neglecting this elementary principle, congress virtually gave the trust companies a mortgage on all the NOTICE!

By this elementary virtually gave the mortgage on all the revenues they have paid, which they may foreclose by judicial procedure. A decision adverse to the government would be unusually embarrassing at this time. In the first place it would mean a further shrinkage in revenues directly due to carelessness. The treasury deficit long ago assumed ugly proportions, and additional leakages would be damaging both financially and politically. Furthermore, it is proposed to im­mediately reenact the war tax law, which automatically expires December 31, 1915. This places the admin­istration on the two horns of a dilemma. If the paragraph by which trust companies are taxed is amended, it is a confession of error. But if it is re-enacted without amendment, and the courts later decide against the validity of the law, a large sum in revenues will be lost. "By their fruits ye shall know them." The administration has pro­posed a program of legislation for national defense that calls for the highest degree of accuracy and efficiency in law making, and a fiscal policy that will finance it. The muddle over the trust company tax is an apt illustration of complete failure on both counts. The Anaheim Truck & Transfer company, Wells-Fargo & company and Frank Machleb will take temporary quarters for their business in the lower floor of the city building at Center and Claudina streets. L. A. Porter and wife were visiting in Los Angeles Friday. Mrs. W. S. Tipton came down from Los Angeles last week and visited with friends. HE WOULD DO ANYTHING ONCE There was a man who fancied that by driving good and fast. He'd get his car across the track before the train came past. He'd miss the engine by an inch, and make the train hands sore. There was a man who fancied this; theirs isn't any more. There was a man who thought that he could win a little bet. By quenching in some gasoline a lighted cigarette. He though the fluid, being wet, would douse the flames somehow. There was a man who reasoned thus. He is not with us now. There was a man, once on a time, who confidently swore. That he'd jump off the Brooklyn bridge, and calmly swim to shore. He said the thrill that he would get would prove extremely pleasant. There was a man who held these views. There isn't at the present. There was a man, who to his friends, would frequently declare. That he would strangle with his hands a hungry grizzly bear. He spoke of hungry grizzlies with a fascinating sneer. A man like this there was; but now he's gone away from here, J. P. Mayhew and wife have return­ ed from a visit to the San Francisco exposition. W. F. Herman, who is now located in the San Joaquin valley, was in town last week on business. He was formerly manager of the Orange County Preserving company's plant here.
