DON'T NEGLECT TO REGISTER Petitions calling for a referendum election on the Johnsonian non-partisan law railroaded through the special session of the legislature, also initiative petitions demanding that a law be enacted prohibiting members of the legislature from holding fat appointive jobs, are being circulated this week. These petitions were started by the republican and democratic members of the legislature at the close of the recent farcial session, and one of the objects is to determine whether or not Governor Johnson can continue to trample on an expressed mandate of the people of California without rebuke. If you have not registered since January 1st you cannot sign one of these petitions, as you are not a qualified elector. The old register was cancelled on the 31st of December, and all men and women must re-register or be debarred from voting. Remember the city election will be held on the 10th day of April, and you must be on the rolls thirty days before that date, or you cannot help elect the two trustees, the city clerk and the city treasurer. The presidential preferential primary will be held on May 2, and if your name is not on the great register thirty days previous to that date you will not be permitted to ex- IMMEDIATE READJUSTMENT IS NEEDED Also about a tariff commission President Wilson has changed his mind. Not so very long ago he wouldn't listen to the mention of a tariff commission. Now he wants one. For a man to change his mind, when he has been wrong, is no scandalous fault; it is a shinning virtue. But about this particular shift of Mr. Wilson's multitudinous shifts of position on every question under the sun there is something else to be said. Maybe, under ordinary circumstances, a tariff commission is a good thing; maybe it is not. Anyhow, it is a debatable question. It is not a debatable question, however, that it will take a tariff commission years to examine all the conditions, inquire into all the facts and learn all the things that President Wilson wants to get from the commission before there is any tinkering with the tariff. But when the war is over—and it might be over within months rather than years, even within weeks rather than months—the need of tariff readjustment will be immediate. Let the war stop this morning, and thousands of our munitions plants, with hundreds of thousands of wage earners working in them, will stop tonight. That isn't the worst of it. Let the war stop this morning and thousands of our industries of peace, with hundreds of thousands of our wage earners in them will stop the very moment they have filled their existing orders; because they will not, they cannot, go on manufacturing products at a high cost to try to sell in our markets weeks and months later, when at the very stroke of the hour that the soldiers of Europe lay down their arms PRICE OF CLOSE STILL CLUE Local Merchants Worry Increase In The unprecedented cost of wearing apparel local merchants constr Everything is climbing the most noticeable in price of cotton goods; lally perplexing in v that only a few month growers of the south be in distress because market their crop at "buy a bale of cotton" started for the purge them.

If you register now you will be eligible to vote at all four of these elections, and will be a full-fledged elector until December 31, 1918. Don’t delay. Get your name on the roll. APPALLING STATE OF AFFAIRS An appalling oversight of the administration at Washington in providing for national defense has been laid bare. Representative Patrick H. Kelley of Michigan, a member of the naval affairs committee, has disclosed to the house that of the nine dreadnaughts, seventeen destroyers, thirty-nine submarines and two transport and supply ships authorized by congress or under construction since the Wilson administration has been in control of the office, not one is completed. An appalling oversight of the admin-effort has been made by the president or the navy department since the beginning of the war in Europe to hasten the construction and completion of the ships. Why this neglect on the part of the administration to carry out the mandate of congress to equip the navy for adequate national defense at this time? In a resolution setting forth this condition Mr. Kelley referred to the president’s recent statement that “the world is on fire and we are daily treading amidst dangers not of our own making and not under our control; no man can tell what a day may bring forth.” His resolution proposed that the secretary of the navy be directed to negotiate at once with contractors and government ship yards to learn the earliest time within which these war That isn’t the worst of it. Let the war stop this morning and thousands of our industries of peace, with hundreds of thousands of our wage earners in them will stop the very moment they have filled their existing orders; because they will not, they cannot, go on manufacturing products at a high cost to try to sell in our markets weeks and months later, when at the very stroke of the hour that the soldiers of Europe lay down their arms and go back to work, fleets of foreign ships, now used in war for auxiliary cruisers, for scout boats, for transports, for patrols, for supply ships will begin loading their cargoes of cheap labor products to sell here in the American markets far under any prices that will be possible to our dear labor products. The war will not postpone its closing until our tariff commission has thoroughly investigated the whole map of Europe, Asia and Africa, and reported to the White House the economic and industrial results which it forsees from the restoration of peace. The war will shut up like a jackknife. If right then we are not ready to defend ourselves against overwhelming commercial invasion by the productive forces of the Old World our American industries will be blown off the face of the earth as the cannon of invading war machines abroad have blotted out the forts, the bridges, the railroads, even the churches. TICK FREE LIVE STOCK In the ever growing area from which the cattle tick has been eliminated demonstration agents are now showing the people how they can realize the full benefits of their success in the campaign of eradication. Purebred stock is being brought in to improve the quality of the native cattle, farmers who have never paid any attention to live stock are being instructed in the fundamental principles of economical and efficient feeding, and cream routes and creameries are being established in sections where they were unheard of in the days of the ticks. An interesting instance of what a creamery can do for a community is afforded by the history of the one established in cooperation with Clemson College in South Carolina. In September, 1914, the creamery had five patrons whose 25 cows furnished 508 pounds of butter fat that month.

This and sometimes not dition Mr. Kelley referred to the president's recent statement that "the world is on fire and we are daily treading amidst dangers not of our own making and not under our control; no man can tell what a day may bring forth." His resolution proposed that the secretary of the navy be directed to negotiate at once with contractors and government ship yards to learn the earliest time within which these war craft can be completed, and report to the house. "The president has said in his recent speeches that the country faces a crisis," said Mr. Kelley, "and none could tell what a day might bring forth. If this language means anything, it means that our need of defense is a present need. Dreadnaughts and battle cruisers authorized by this congress will not be available for the defense of the country for four years to come. "Hence it seems to me that the first duty of congress is to see that the 67 ships now under construction or authorized for the American navy are completed and made available at the earliest possible moment. Preparations which do not materialize for five years would not avail us anything if our danger is a present one. "I cannot understand how the president, knowing the danger as he only can know it, has made no suggestion to congress that the ships now under construction ought to be rushed to completion. "Elither we are not in danger or the president has been negligent in this regard." The associated chambers of commerce will meet at Yorba Linda Friday night. A good delegation will probably attend from the Anaheim Board of Trade. An interesting instance of what a creamery can do for a community is afforded by the history of the one established in cooperation with Clemson College in South Carolina. In September, 1914, the creamery had five patrons whose 25 cows furnished 508 pounds of butter fat that month. In October a cream route was established and the number of patrons increased to 17. More routes were started from time to time, each new one bringing in more patrons, until in August, 1915, after a year's work, 227 farmers were sending in the cream from 833 cows. The total amount of butter fat delivered to the creamery that month was 14,815 pounds. For it the farmers received $3,851.88, an average of approximately $17 each. The significant feature of this ceramery's success, however, is not the amount of money that it brought in, but the fact that it opened up an absolutely new source of income to the community. Before its establishment dairying was unthought of. If there was a surplus of milk on a farm it was usually disposed of as butter at the nearest store in return for a little sugar or tea. The ordinary run of farm butter, however, was so little thought of that even when taken in trade it brought only about half of what the creamery could afford to pay for the butter fat. In consequence no one regarded milk as a reliable source of income. That it could be actually made to bring in cash each month was a revelation. So new to the people was the idea, indeed, that the checks from the creamery were frequently stored away instead of being cashed, and the managers had to go over the route and explain the necessity for turning them in.

Griffith PRICE OF CLOTHING STILL CLIMBING UP Local Merchants Worried Over Steady Increase in Cost The unprecedented increase in the cost of wearing apparel is causing the local merchants considerable anxiety. Everything is climbing upward, but the most noticeable increase is in the price of cotton goods. This is especially perplexing in view of the fact that only a few months ago the cotton growers of the south were reported to be in distress because they could not market their crop at any price, and a "buy a bale of cotton" movement was started for the purpose of assisting them. A local merchant Monday cited the items of overalls and workingman's shirts as instances of the rapid rise. A short time ago he sold overalls at 90 cents per pair. The wholesalera raised the price and he was compelled to sell them at $1.15, which price yielded him no profit at all. A few days ago he received notice that another advance of one dollar per dozen on these goods had been declared. Customers are inclined to blame the retailers for the increase, whereas on these cheaper grades of goods they are selling at actual cost. Woolen goods and shoes are also climbing upward, but the fact that cotton is, or was a short time ago, a drug on the market, that could not be sold at any price, makes the sudden rise in cotton goods inexplicable. The laborer whose working clothes are made of this class of goods is the hardest hit, but his wages have not been increased. The administration's tariff law, TRUSTEE G. W. HAMLER CELEBRATES HIS BIRTHDAY Recelves Congratulations of Numerous Circle of Friends on Tuesday George W. Hamler, who is one of Anaheim's councilmen, and George Washington, who was the father of his country, were born on the same day of the same month—February 22. George Washington, however, has been dead for 117 years, but Mr. Hamler is still very much alive. While the nation was celebrating Washington's birthday Tuesday, a number of Mr. Hamler's Anaheim friends assembled at his residence, offered congratulations, and helped him dispose of the sumptuous six-course dinner which had been prepared by Mrs. Hamler. It was Mr. Hamler's 54th birthday Fifteen plates were laid at the table, the guests including Mrs. Minnie Schultz of Moline, Illinois, sister of Mr. Hamler, who is visiting here. The dinner was suggestive of the national holiday, the table cloth being a huge American flag, 9x15 feet in dimensions. The napkins were also appropriate, containing pictures of Washington and his little hatchet. The affair was a most enjoyable one, and while only a few of Mr. Hamler's friends were present there is a host of others in the city who will extend felicitations to him and wish him many more birthdays.

The laborer whose working clothes are made of this class of goods is the hardest hit, but his wages have not been increased. The administration's tariff law, which it was promised would reduce the cost of living to the laboring man has certainly failed to realize the expectations of its framers—if they really entertained such expectations. REASONS FOR TRADING AT HOME The idea of holding a "pay up week" in various California cities and towns as a means of betering local conditions has been advocated, this causing the Stockton Mall to remark that "it would be interesting to know how much of the money changing hands during such pay up weeks would be sent out of the county to discharge obligations incurred in other business communities." That paper also suggests that a pay up movement and a trade at home movement be launched simultaneously, giving the following reasons why a California housewife spends her money at home and for California made products, these being as applicable here as in the city named: The first and foremost reason why she patronizes her home town merchant is because a careful comparison of price and value shows that on nearly everything she saves money by so doing. Merchandise sold by the home town merchant is of standard quality and workmanship and this quality is backed not only by the merchant, but by the factory close at hand as well. Because she can always see and inspect the article before she buys it. If she is not satisfied with the article, it is easy and convenient to either change it for something more suitable or to get her money back. She does not have to go to the bother of writing a letter and packing it for shipment and take another chance of its getting lost or broken. When she buys from the home town merchant he gives her the benefit of his experience, if she is in doubt as to her needs. This advice is valuable and sometimes not appreciated. COMPROMISE OVERTURES REJECTED Compromise between the republicans and progressives of California in the nomination of California delegates to the republican national convention, to be held in Chicago, June 7, was rejected by the executive committee of the republican state central committee at a meeting held in San Francisco Saturday. Walter R. Bacon of San Francisco, chairman of the executive committee, brought the question of compromise to the crux when he told the committee that Meyer Lissner of Los Angeles, progressive leader, had offered to let the republicans nominate 13 of the 26 republican delegates if a like number of progressives would be acceptable. Chairman Bacon called for the sentiment of the committee. Expression of adverse opinion was offered so readily and vehemently from Francis V. Keesling, W. F. Nixon, Philip A. Stanton, E. L. Hawks and other committeemen, that the proposition was not put to a vote. It was decided by the committee that the California delegation to Chicago should go uninstructed. After the refusal to compromise the committee voted unanimously to indorse a referendum petition against the direct primary law as amended by the recent special session of the legislature, and which eliminates party registration. It was admitted and declared on all sides in the committee that great difficulties beset the republicans in the coming election of May 2 for the selection of delegates to the National convention. Philip A. Stanton of Los Angeles, republican national committee, sponsored a state republican convention to be held prior to the election of May 2 to select the republicans who should be offered as delegates. He declared that only those republicans who had remained faithful to the party should be accredited to the proposed convention. The matter was laid on the table until Saturday, when another meeting will be held to determine ways and means of insuring the nomination of straight republicans, 26 of them who, in the words of Committeeman C. C. McCray of Redding, "will stick to the end in the Chicago convention and won't walk out." Local Notes The Santa Fe railroad has finally succeeded in getting its trains through to San Diego. The southern city was cut off from railroad traffic for three weeks by the flood, depending on the ocean for means of transportation. The Ruether Cattle & Feed company has filed articles of incorporation, and expects to build a feed mill at Winterburg. The directors of the corporation are Fred Ruether, Fred Reuther, Jr., Anna and Florence Reuther of Clearwater, and John Reuther of Anaheim. The capital stock is $75,000, of which $16,500 has been subscribed by Fred Ruether and $10,000 by Anna Ruether. G. S. Speers of Yorba Linda, is facing a serious charge, having been arrested Thursday by a Los Angeles officer charged with defrauding insurance companies of $1100 by burning three houses in which he lived at various times. The warrant was issued in the district attorney's office at Los Angeles. He was arraigned before Justice Summerfield in that city and sent to fall in default of $2000 ball. Orange is going to use the Vrooman act to get ornamental lights upon its principal streets in the business section. A protest signed by 28 property owners has been received by the city trustees. The remonstrance was against the plan to have abutting property owners pay for the lights and their installation. The city trustees took no action upon the protest, but passed a resolution that is the first step in the Vrooman proceedings. Jose Nunez, the former employee of the sugar factory, whose aged mother and two sons were drowned in the first flood of last month when his house, which stood on the bank of the river was swept away, is again afflicted, and it is reported he is crazed with grief. Last Thursday evening his nine-year-old daughter was fatally burned at their new home at El Modena. Her clothing caught fire from the explosion of a lamp. Nunez put out the fire and saved the house, but the little girl was injured past recovery, the doctors reported. If she is not satisfied with the article, it is easy and convenient to either change it for something more suitable or to get her money back. She does not have to go to the bother of writing a letter and packing it for shipment and take another chance of its getting lost or broken. When she buys from the home town merchant he gives her the benefit of his experience, if she is in doubt as to her needs. This advice is valuable and sometimes not appreciated. If she spends her money with her home town merchant when she has the cash, the merchant gets to know her and in the event she needs credit she can secure it. This is impossible from concerns at a distance. About 30 cents of every $1 that she spends at home stays here and is distributed to the rest of the community in the way of wages, rent, interest, doctor bills, lawyer fees and the purchase of necessities of life for the merchant. Only a small fraction of it goes to swell the merchant's private bank account. The home town merchant employs her sons and daughters and friends. The amount of patronage given local stores will regulate not only the number of people employed, but the scale of wages paid as well. The more business that is done here, the faster and bigger our town will grow, thus increasing the value of our property and farms of the surrounding country. The merchants want her trade tomorrow as well as today, and they are always glad to give her a square deal to get it and keep it. Lumber of every description, lime, cement, and all kinds of building material can always be found in our yards, and you will also find our prices reasonable. Griffith Lumber company.

The matter was laid on the table until Saturday, when another meeting will be held to determine ways and means of insuring the nomination of straight republicans, 26 of them who, in the words of Committeeman C. C. McCray of Redding, "will stick to the end in the Chicago convention and won't walk out." It was suggested by Stanton that republican clubs be formed throughout the state and that these clubs elect the representatives to the state convention. Did the cheesemongers and dairymen read this line in the Weekly News Letter of the department of agriculture, for February 9th? "At present practically no cheese is exported, and in fact about 60,000,000 pounds are imported." The Underwood tariff for less than revenue law cut the republican protective rate on cheese, of 6 cents a pound, to 20 per cent adopting an valorem rate. This twenty per cent on the import value of cheese represents about 3 cents a pound, or a cut in the former protective rate of 50%. The line above quoted carries its own conviction. Imports entered the 13 principal customs districts of the United States for the week ended January 29, 1916, to the value of $41,461,927 on which customs revenues were collected in the sum of $3,522,336, or an average rate of duty of 8.5%. If this low average rate keeps up, as it has for the past six weeks, Secretary McAdoo will have to blow his little ready revenue raisers to another dinner and devise new schemes for taxation over the walnuts and wine. Mrs. H. A. Baker of Garden Grove, was seriously burned Monday, while attempting to rescue articles from a burning house. The woman's home caught fire from an overheated stove. Mrs. Baker dashed a bucket of water on the flames, but saw she could not save the house. She seized little Bunny Shook, who was visiting her, and carried him out of the house. She returned, hoping to get some valuable papers in a bureau drawer. It was then that she was struck down. Though painfully burned her condition is not serious. Her loss was $1700, with no insurance. R. E. Vaughn, who left here a couple of months ago to spend the winter with old-time friends in Kansas and Missouri, writes of wintry conditions in the middle west. In a letter to Frank Davis he states that he was seated in a close room at the home of his mother in Missouri, with his feet on a red hot base burner, trying to reconcile the weather conditions with his California clothes and constitution. The mercury in a thermometer outside was registering considerably below the zero mark, and there was ten inches of snow on the ground.

The total registration is 304,893, and of this number 103,758 are republicans, 40,864 democrats, 13,577 progressives, 8642 socialists and 8004 prohibitionists. The number of those giving no party affiliation amounts to 139,946. The ratio of republicans to progressives is about eight to one or nine to one throughout the entire state. In no county do the progressives challenge either of the two older parties for numerical supremacy, and in only thirteen comparatively unimportant counties do the democrats lead the republicans. These counties are Colusa, Fresno, Glenn, Lake, Madera, Merced, Modoc, Plumas, San Benito, Sierra, Siskiyou, Tuolumne and Yolo, all Burbon strongholds. The five counties not reporting are Stanislaus, Solano, Alpine, Mono and Placer. In only one county, Sierra, are no republicans registered. So far four voters have placed their names on the great register, two democrats and two not stating any party affiliations. A PARTISAN TARIFF COMMISSION 'A more partisan tariff commission than that proposed by the bill introduced for the Wilson administration could scarcely be devised." This statement was made by Representative George W. Fairchild of New York, a member of the Ways and Means committee, after a careful analysis of the provisions of the administration tariff commission bill. "The establishment of a tariff commission the powers of which even suggest a partisan report is neither necessary, valuable nor desirable," said Mr. Fairchild. The democratic tariff commission bill not only suggests but invites and insures partisan action. "The bill contains two provisions stamping it as a partisan measure. "First, section 3 porvides, among other things that the commission five ing the Underwood bill, and this is the custom usually followed. "It must be perfectly clear, therefore, that with a partisan tariff commission instructed by law to report to a partisan committee, bound by party platforms to legislate in conformity with the tariff policy of such party, nothing but the most extremely partisan tariff bill could be the result. "From every point of view the Wilson tariff commission bill is a step backward rather than forward, and should be opposed by everyone who favors the appointment of a scientific non partisan tariff commission." DEPOSIT OF MAGNESITE A massive deposit of magnesite of unusual character that has recently been brought to the attention of the United States geological survey promises to yield a large and readily available supply of this material. The deposit lies in Clark county, Nev., in the valley of Muddy river, one of the tributaries of Virgin river, a few miles above the town of St. Thomas. The material has been known for some time as kaolin, and successful experiments for utilizing it as a porcelain clay are reported to have been made, though they have not yet resulted in the exploitation of the deposit. The recognized outcrops have been located as mining claims, and some preliminary exploration and development work has been done. A side track on the St. Thomas branch of the Salt Lake railroad, about 3 miles northeast of the northernmost group of claims, offers a readily available railroad connection, and the station has been named Kaolin, from this deposit. The so-called Kaolin is stated by the survey to be in fact magnesite, a part of a regularly stratified series of sedimentary strata exposed by stream channels that cut across a low ridge at the upper edge of Muddy valley. The deposit forms a chalky looking bluff, dazzingly white in the bright sunlight. The material is porcelain-white, fine grained, and massive, is remarkably free from foreign material, but is not so hard as the more typical magnesite, and crumbles more rapidly on exposure to the weather. The greater part of the California magnesite is used in the manufacture of wood pulp paper on the Pacific coast.

The establishment of a tariff commission the powers of which even suggest a partisan report is neither necessary, valuable nor desirable," said Mr. Fairchild. The democratic tariff commission bill not only suggests but invites and insures partisan action. "The bill contains two provisions stamping it as a partisan measure. "First, section 3 porvides, among other things, that the commission, five in number, shall investigate the administration and fiscal effects of customs laws now in force or to be hereafter enacted, the effects of ad valorem and specific duties, and the operation and effects of the customs tariff laws, including their relations to the federal revenues. "A report on the effect of a tariff can only be an expression of opinion of the men making the report. Since the bill specifically permits the appointment of a majority of the same political faith on the commission, such majority would unquestionably render an opinion in conformity with the tariff policy of the political party from which they were chosen, thus completely destroying the non-partisan character of the commission. "Second, the partisan character of the administration bill is further emphasized by a provision that the commission shall report, not to congress itself, but to the two tariff making committees of congress, the ways and means committee of the house and the finance committee of the senate. "Each of these committees is absolutely partisan, appointed for the purpose of reporting tariff measures that reflect the tariff policy of the party in power.

The greater part of the California magnesite is used in the manufacture of wood pulp paper on the Pacific coast. Magnesite is coming into use in the manufacture of cement for floors, for artificial marble and tile, and to a certain extent as a stucco for exterior finish. Carbon dioxide is manufactured from ray magnesite and the use of finely ground caustic calcined magnesite in fire retarding paint is now one of its important applications. The buildings at the Panama-Pacific exposition were treated with a fireproofing and damp-proofing magnesia paint. ADVERTISED LETTERS FEB. 21st O. C.
