TALBERT SEES A GREAT FUTURE FOR COUNTY TELLS VISITING DELEGATION WHAT SUPERVISORS HAVE ACCOMPLISHED AND THEIR HOPES SHOULD FOSTER NEWPORT HARBOR AND EXTEND GOOD ROADS SYSTEM In response to a call for a speech made by one of the delegations which recently visited Supervisor T. B. Talbert to express confidence in him after the Taxpayers' League had demanded his resignation, that gentleman made the following statement relative to the actions and hopes of the board of supervisors of which he is chairman: We believe that the good Lord has equipped Orange county by nature to become one of the greatest, most prosperous and happy people on earth. But we have laid only a foundation to ward the development of a great commercial career for our county. In the first place it is a conceded fact that at this age we must have quick, economic and convenient transportation. We have quite a few good roads systems, electric lines and steam roads. But after having made considerable headway in this direction it does not seem that we should stop and say, It is good enough; all is done. I believe we should work with an effort and with the idea in view of extending all roads and of making conections leading to Newport Bay, because the time is near at hand whereby we will want to start development and improvement at ANTI DUMPING LEGISLATION INADEQUATE While democrats acknowledge the danger of foreign competition in American markets, they propose to meet the danger with experimental subterfuges instead of by means of the tried and satisfactory protection of an adequate import duty. Said Secretary of the Treasure McAdoo, in a recent address: "A democratic congress out of deference to any honest apprehension that may exist in the minds of business men, will enact legislation against the dumping of cheap European goods in our markets and will prohibit by law unfair competition by foreign competitors with American business men and manufacturers. While I do not believe these measures are essential, I favor them simply as a precaution and as an assurance to the timid and hesitating." The legislation might also catch a few votes. In order to show that an anti-dumping law will not be effective in protecting American industry, let us take as an illustration an article of trade known as 16-inch shallow opal lamp shade, one end finished, and compare its labor cost in Welswasser, Germany with the cost in this country. Wages per day Operators Germany U.S. Gaffer $2.00 $6.00 Servitor 1.00 4.50 Gatherer .75 3.00 Boys .50 3.00 $4.25 $16.00 With longer hours of labor the German group of operatives will turn out 144 shades per day; the American group, 124 shades. The German labor cost of production per dozen will be about 35 cents; the American cost is $1.60 per dozen. With a labor cost In the first place it is a conceded fact that at this age we must have quick, economic and convenient transportation. We have quite a few good roads systems, electric lines and steam roads. But after having made considerable headway in this direction it does not seem that we should stop and say, It is good enough; all is done. I believe we should work with an effort and with the idea in view of extending all roads and of making connections leading to Newport Bay, because the time is near at hand whereby we will want to start development and improvement at Newport Harbor, at which time all communities for miles around, will want quick and easy access to the Harbor. It is Orange county's business and duty to take the initiative steps toward such development, if she does not it will possibly never be done. When Orange county has taken such initiative steps, created a little business for light transportation, she will then be in a position to ask state or Federal aid in further development, which would eventually create an enormous commercial opportunity. We hope to see, and believe we will see, more millions established around Newport Bay within the next few years in the way of industries and commercial enterprises than now exist in the entire part of Orange county, some fifty-four millions. We would not have to do a great deal to accomplish that. If such a condition could be brought about, it certainly would be worth while to concentrate and put forth the most conscientious effort. Thus far I do not believe there is a fair minded citizen who could not say we had made any improvement or built any institution not wanted and needed by the county. The detention home has been established, which certainly has been needed and has been very beneficial and useful to our country. The county farm and hospital, likewise, have been very valuable and money-saving institutions. If Orange county was paying the price of tuition that we had to pay several years ago ($12.50 per patient per week in a hospital) it would be costing us more than three thousand dollars per month at the present time, to say nothing of the expense of caring for the twenty-five and more indigents. It is not costing us one-third of this amount under the present arrangement with the county farm hospital. Last, but not least, our county boulevards have certainly been a very valuable asset to Orange county. Our greatest growth in wealth and population has almost wholly been attributed to the good roads. We do not believe that any citizen would be willing to take his money back and be without the improvements that have been built. If the work we have done thus far, has been valuable and beneficial why stop at that and say there is nothing more to be done to still further promote our prosperity. If we are assured that we have done thus far, has been valuable and beneficial why stop at that and say there is nothing more to be done to still further promote our prosperity. With longer hours of labor the German group of operatives will turn out 144 shades per day; the American group, 124 shades. The German labor cost of production per dozen will be about 35 cents; the American cost is $1.60 per dozen. With a labor cost in Germany less than one-fourth that of the labor cost in this country, is it likely that a dumping law will keep the Weiswasser product out of our market? And this applies to hundreds of other industries. The anti dumping legislation proposed at this eleventh hour by the democrats, to catch votes, can only be invoked where a country is dumping its goods on our home markets at a price less than the fair market price of the same article in the country of origin. A fair market price on this 16 inch shade in Germany, would be far below the actual cost of production here, but the anti dumping clause could not be applied to meet the situation. Don't let the democrats fool you with any such vote catching device. They had a chance to enact an anti dumping clause when the democratic tariff law was being framed, and it was thrown out. What is needed is a protective tariff law working with an anti-dumping clause. Truck and Ford Collide: Tossed from a high truck load of hay and feed into an adjoining walnut orchard, Marshall Stricker of Orange received a broken arm and other painful injuries Friday afternoon. The accident occurred near the bridge on West Chapman avenue when a Ford car ran into the Orange County Supply Company truck on which Stricker was riding with Lee Eckhart, the driver. The truck received much the worse of the encounter while the Ford which ditched the larger vehicle and went on its way unharmed. The driver of the Ford disregarded the accident and succeeded in getting away unidentified. Officers think they have located him in Orange. In the collision Eckhart maintained his seat but Stricker was thrown into the orchard and struck on his head, breaking his fall to some extent with his arms which suffered the brunt of Gaffer ... $2.00 ... $6.00 Servitor ... 1.00 ... 4.50 Gatherer ... .75 ... 3.00 Boys ... .50 ... 3.00 $4.25 ... $16.00 With longer hours of labor the German group of operatives will turn out 144 shades per day; the American group, 124 shades.

THE STREET A count of th treasury was my state board of co on hand were: silver, $4,232.00; Last, but not least, our county boulevards have certainly been a very valuable asset to Orange county. Our greatest growth in wealth and population has almost wholly been attributed to the good roads. We do not believe that any citizen would be willing to take his money back and be without the improvements that have been built. If the work we have done thus far, has been valuable and beneficial why stop at that and say there is nothing more to be done to still further promote our prosperity. If we are assured that we can create fifty millions of business around Newport Harbor by spending one million as a starter, would it not be good business? Would you not be willing to invest one million dollars if you knew you were going to create fifty million dollars worth of business by so doing? We are equipped with abundance of oil, natural gas, good roads, good railroad transportation, rich soil production, abundance of fine water, an elegant climate and a natural bay for harbor development. Why not, then utilize and take advantage of our natural resources. If we work with these ends as our ambition, Orange county will be 1,000 per cent ahead in not many years. It is up to us and we will be just whatever our people decide we should be. But county officials, just as others can do nothing unless the citizens have the utmost confidence. Without confidence nothing moves. If I could sacrifice my life to make Orange county what I think it ought to be I would do it. Nature's kindness to us in the way of climate, harbor possibilities, good roads, and the like would make such a sacrifice a worthy ambition. I say it with full appreciation of what such a statement involves. My whole heart and soul are interested in just one thing—the fall development of Orange county. It is unfortunate that little petty squabbles come up now and then. While they do not hurt our cause they do slow down progress for the time being and, to some extent, affect confidence, without which the county board of supervisors can accomplish nothing. In the collision Eckhart maintained his seat but Stricker was thrown into the orchard and struck on his head, breaking his fall to some extent with his arms which suffered the brunt of the shock. The left was broken and the right badly sprained. His face was burned from sliding in the dirt and he had contusions on the forehead and beside one eye. He was rushed to Dr. Domann's office where his injuries were dressed. While disabled for some time he is not seriously hurt. R. M. Hargrave, for a number of years president of the Richland Walnut Association has resigned as head of that organization, having disposed of his walnut orchard on South Main street and therefore become ineligible to office in the association. J. A. Smiley of West Orange, vice-president, has been elected president to succeed Mr. Hargrave. Mr. Smiley is also elected director on the Central Walnut association as representative of the Richland association. An estimate of the walnut crop for this season given out by the Central association places the crop at 25 per cent below normal, although the increased acreage will probably bring it up to last year's crop. The Central association has contracted $5000 sacks of walnuts, the sale being subject to confirmation when the price is set. The Richland association at its last meeting ordered the purchase of a new drum for bleaching in place of the old screen used in the past.

The democratic leaders in congress must wait until the full measure of their party's porcine folly has been taken and then, under cover of a plea for preparedness they will formulate the taxation bills. But one thing they already seem determined upon. They intend to try to force through a national inheritance tax. Thus far, the inheritance tax has been regarded peculiarly and justly as something belonging to the individual states, and many states have made use of it to their great benefit. If now the federal government is to invade this field of taxation in the states, it will be necessary for the legislatures of next winter to look around for something to take its place—because to retain this form of taxation in the states at the same time that it is put into operation as a national measure would mean double taxation—which is in itself unconstitutional in several states and which is repugnant to a sense of fair play in any event. The proposal, however, illustrates again the straits of the democratic party in its management of national finance and the rapacity of the leaders in Congress who struck down a protective tariff which at one and the same time secured to our own people the markets of our own land and sent a golden stream of revenue into the national treasury. The democratic tariff has robbed the American worker of his home market and has deprived the treasury of the money which is so sorely needed.

Automobiles on any street when brought to a stop must face the sidewalk on an incline, the front right wheel touching the curb, and the rear right wheel to be on nan angle, six feet from the curbing. This is done tb allow cars to back out easily. A car stopped within ten feet of a fire plug is subject to a fine. No cars are to be parked within twenty feet from the intersections of Los Angeles, Center, Claudina, Chartress, Lemon and Broadway streets. Fines range from $10 to $100. Red tags are used by the officers. Whenever a violation is found the car is tagged, which fact notifies the owner to appear before the Recorder, where fines are imposed. The crowded conditions of the downtown streets makes the new traffic regulations imperative. THE STATE'S CASH A count of the gold in the state treasury was made Monday by the state board of control.

FILLING HIS LOCKER Davy Jones has an insatiable appetite but cannot complain that his locker has not been kept well filled during the last few years. The recent loss on this coast of the Bear and the Roanoke have been among the contributions of the Pacific, but the great provider for Davy Jones has been Great Britain, mainly through the instrumentality of Germany. Since the war started Great Britain has lost 743 bessels both sail and steam, of a gross tonnage of 1,623,000 and Germany has lost seventy-three of a gross tonnage of 717,615. Allied shipping destroyed represented a tonnage of 1,997,216; neutral shipping, 369,176 and Teutonic and Turkish shipping, 213,243. The actual losses of the neutrals have been greater than those of the central empires and their Turkish ally. Expert plano tuning, F. W. Schmidt. PRISONERS AND THEIR FAMILIES The United States attorney-general has asked permission of congress to put federal prisoners to work, and to pay to their families a part of the earnings of their industry. For the past sixteen years the convicts have been employed in erecting the prison buildings at Atlanta, Ga., and Leavenworth, Kan., and in improving the land at McNell Island, Wash. That work being now practically complete, the convicts are left without employment. The labor of the prison population of the United States, including federal state and county jails, is a large asset that is not being utilized as it should. The men are happier and better for regular tasks. Probably more work could be got out of them if a certain proportion of the proceeds of their labor was turned over to their families, as the attorney-general is now trying to arrange for federal convicts. In many of the smaller jails the inmates are employed on routine work, the returns of which are very small. Cane seating of chairs is an industry that employe many prison shops.
