FOREIGN TRADE SET A NEW MARK UNCLE SAM'S BUSINESS DURING PAST FISCAL YEAR SIX AND ONE-HALF BILLIONS EXPLOSIVES, IRON AND STEEL REPRESENT HEAVIEST ITEMS EXPORT The foreign trade of the United States for the fiscal year just closed exceeded $6,500,000,000, according to an official estimate by the United States bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. This represents a gain of practically $1,500,000,000 over the previous fiscal year and is the largest total in the history of American commerce. Importations for 1916 fiscal year amounted to $2,180,000,000. Seven articles represented one-half the entire amount. They are sugar, $206,000,000; rubber, $159,000,000; hides and skins, $157,000,000; raw wool, $145,000,000; raw silks, $122,000,000; coffee, $117,000,000; drugs, $108,000,000. Exports of explosives soared from $41,000,000 in 1915 to $473,000,000 in 1916. Shipments of iron and steel were almost trebled. In 1915 they were worth $226,000,000 and in 1916, $618,000,000. Horses were exported to the value of $73,000,000 against $3,000,000 two years ago. Mules valued at $23,000,000 were shipped against $7,000,000 two years ago. Raw cotton exports were $379,999. "On this account, Willard service is highly praised by car manufacturers and dealers throughout the country, because they realize that much better results can be obtained from the starting and lighting system if the battery is kept in good condition. Moreover, there are so many makes of cars equipped with Willard batteries that the proper kind of service co-operation means a great deal to the man who sells a car, for it backs up the sale with service that is worth while to anyone." SQUELCHED REBELLION Living up to its reputation as the greatest single factor for peace in America, the United States Marine Corps, with the loss of a few men killed and wounded, has quietly and effectually quelled the latest revolt in Santo Domingo, and without time lost in undue parley has forced the rebel chieftains to lay down their arms and return to peaceful pursuits, according to late advices from Monte Christi. United States Marines now control the entire island on which Haiti and Santo Domingo are situated, and that control was gained without serious fighting or great loss of life it is claimed, because of the thorough preparedness of the marines for the business at hand their knowledge of the people and their ways.

WOOL EXPORTS JUMPED FROM $27,000,-000 LAST YEAR TO $54,000,000. EXPORTS ON RAILWAY CARS JUMPED FROM $3,000,000 IN 1915 TO $27,000,000 IN 1916. OATS AND CORN SHOWED BIG DECREASES. CALIFORNIA LANDS OPENED Secretary Lane has announced that more than 100,000 acres of California lands have been designated as non-irrigable and subject to entry under the enlarged homestead act. Entry under this act entitles a homesteader to 320 acres instead of 160 acres, as provided under the old homestead law. Areas included in the order are Kern county, 49,000 acres; San Luis Obispo county, 43,000 acres; Santa Barbara county, 12,000 acres; Los Angeles county, 10,000 acres. The greater proportion of these are now available for settlers. CANNOT BRAND SICK CATTLE Efforts of State Veterinarian C. F. Kearn to establish a system of branding tubercular cattle under the provisions of the cow milk law that goes into effect October 1 were knocked out by an opinion from the attorney general to the effect that he would have no legal right to mark the cattle in that way. Dr. Keane, while willing to yield to the attorney general's opinion, still contends that the designation of tuberous diseases soared from $41,000,000 in 1915 to $473,0ooo,ooo in 1916. THE CANYON ROAD Supervisors May Build Highway Where It Was Before The board of supervisors may rebuild the Santa Ana canyon road permanently where it was before the January washout, on the river side of Sulphur Slide. Reports of engineers and an offer to protect the road against the treacherous maw of the Santa Ana river may result in abandoning the plan to divert the main, permanent road to the south side of Sulphur Slide mountain. Sulphur Slide is a freak geological formation on the south side of the Santa Ana river. When the material of this hill is under the surface it is as hard as cement. When it is exposed to air and sunshine it becomes loose, sliding shale. When the canyon road was re-built up the canyon under the direction of the county highway commission, a firm road was cut along the slide. Last winter the torrent of the Santa Ana river switched directly against the bank, and for several hundred feet the road was taken away. Engineers at first advised against trying to re-build permanently on the side of the mountain sloping to the river. Surveys were made for a new road up a side canyon, by which the summit was crossed and the road reached above Sulphur Slide. Delays in building this road were caused by the inability of the supervisors to get a right of way. Recently the members of the county board and Deputy County Surveyor Hoy have made several trips to the vicinity, and closer study has been given the situation. In addition to that, Engineer H. Clay Kellogg has made a proposition that is receiving consideration. Kellogg stated that by contract he could throw up retaining walls and a concrete protective wall that would prevent the raging floods of the winter from eating at the base of the hill. It is reported to the supervisors that Kellogg is willing to rick his reputation as an engineer upon the project. Furthermore, he is quoted to them as stating that he will give a bond to make good. The proposal would call for a concrete wall made big enough and strong enough, resting upon a solid foundation, protected by boulders, to withstand the pounding of the stream. However, the plan further calls for wing dams of a nature to turn the river torrent so that it will not be directed against the troublesome mountain. TO HEAD OFF EPIDEMIC State Board of Health Warning Against Infantile Paralysis Every effort to prevent the introduction of infantile paralysis into California is being erased by the Californians. Efforts of State Veterinarian C. F. Kean to establish a system of branding tubercular cattle under the provisions of the cow milk law that goes into effect October 1 were knocked out by an opinion from the attorney general to the effect that he would have no legal right to mark the cattle in that way. Dr. Keane, while willing to yield to the attorney general's opinion, still contends that the designation of tubercular cows is important and necessary, and states that he will devise some other system that will be thoroughly legal. The attorney general and the state veterinarian differ on an important point. The former holds that it would not be fair to the owner to brand the cow as tubercular when the cows, upon a later test might show no signs of tuberculosis. Dr. Keane contends that a cow once tuberculous is very seldom without signs upon a later test. MODERN CAR EASY FOR WOMEN TO DRIVE These days you will see plenty of women driving cars, whether it be in crowded city traffic or on open country roads. One reason for this is the simplicity and efficiency of modern electrical equipment. Probably the most important part of the electrical system is the storage battery, upon which depends the starting, lighting and often the ignition. Because of the importance of the battery, Mr. Bivellard who conducts the local service station for the Willard Battery Co., says: "A little thing like tightening a connection or cleaning out a terminal means nothing to the man who knows how, but means a great deal to a woman driver who does not want to both- TO HEAD OFF EPIDEMIC State Board of Health Warning Against Infantile Paralysis Every effort to prevent the introduction of infantile paralysis into California is being exerted by the California State Board of Health. In order to learn if any cases or contacts are being brought into the state from the east, where the disease is now epidemic, inspectors of all transcontinental passenger trains have been stationed at points along the border lines where the railroads enter California. Without the cooperation of citizens, however, this procedure is of small importance. Every suspected case of illness in children, particularly intestinal or digestive disturbances, should be reported immediately to the local health officer for investigation. Children should not be allowed to come into contact with such persons, who are ill, whether they are children or adults. The diagnosis of infantile paralysis is oftentimes not determined until the paralysis appears. Since many cases begin with the acute digestive or intestinal disturbances, followed by high fever, special attention should be paid to disorders of this sort. While comparatively few cases of the disease have occurred in California during the past few years, several epidemics of magnitude have occurred in the state. At the beginning of July there were only four cases in California and these were widely scattered. The California state board of health does not feel that there is any occasion for alarm, but desires to emphasize the importance of taking every possible preventive measure that may be available, in order that California may not be visited with a devastating epidemic of the disease.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1916 WINE TAX TO BE REDUCED New Revenue Bill Will Make Important Concessions to California Growers That the tax upon Southern California wines will be materially reduced in the proposed $197,000,000 internal revenue tax bill, now being considered by congress is the statement of Collector John P. Carter of the internal revenue department, who returned from Washington following a month's conference with members of the ways and means committee. Collector Carter was summoned to Washington to supply information on the status of the wine industry in Southern California as well as to give information relative to the income tax collections in this district. In addition to the probable reduction in taxes a provision is incorporated in the bill to the effect that the tax on light, sweet and dry wines is payable at the time of sale and not at the time of manufacture. It is indicated by Collector Carter that the tax on dry wines in the new bill will be 3 cents for each gallon instead of 8 cents, the existing rate. What is known as a fortification tax imposed on stronger liquors to enforce the wine, is to be 12 cents. The rate is now 22 cents. This means a reduction of 10 cents for each gallon. As California produces approximately 94 per cent of the total sweet wine of the United States the reduction in taxes will, according to the collector, be of great benefit to the wine industry of the state. Rufigro Ortez of Los Alamitos, was found dead in the road near that town Sunday night, with several knife wounds on his person, and his clothing cut to shreds. He had been stabbed just above the heart, and there were two or three other wounds on his person. It is evident Ortez was engaged in a fight with a fellow Mexican and got the worst of it, but the sheriff's officers have not yet been able to find the other man. Ortez was 32 years old and lived with his parents at Los Alamitos. the preponderance of the proof was that the sale was with the "intent of destroying or injuring an industry of the United States, or of restricting or monopolizing any part of the trade or commerce in such articles in the United States. The proof would have to be gathered in foreign countries. Our experiences with trials under the Sherman act should convince us that this is an impracticable plan. If the prices are no lower than charged at place of production, with freight and other charges added, there is no offense alleged. Consequently our markets could be lawfully flooded with the accumulated products of any European country, after the war, so long as the home prices were kept correspondingly low. This would close our factories, throw our workmen out of employment and drain his country of its gold just as effectually as if the importers had a criminal intent. But it is too much to expect democrats, obsessed with their free trade notions and their theory about whetting the wits of American manufacturers, to see anything as obvious as this. This country will need a protective tariff instead of a criminal statute to defend against the influx of European goods at the end of the war. It is not concerned about the purity of intentions of importers but about the effect on American industries. Necessarily it must turn to the republican party as the only hope of protection. BROKEN TRADE BARRIERS Notwithstanding the long period of destructive war with which Mexico has been torn, that republic has been successful in raiding our markets with her produce, under the encouragement of a demolished tariff wall along the border. Our industrial defense has been as inadequate as our military defense. During the nine months ended March 1915 Mexico unleashed an attack on our ports. The basis of settlement in the contracts between the association and the growers was that $4.50 should be paid a ton for beets of 15 per cent Sunday night, with several knife wounds on his person, and his clothing cut to shreds. He had been stabbed just above the heart, and there were two or three other wounds on his person. It is evident Ortez was engaged in a fight with a fellow Mexican and got the worst of it, but the sheriff's officers have not yet been able to find the other man. Ortez was 32 years old and lived with his parents at Los Alamitos. Attorney Isidore Dockweiler has filed suit for foreclosure of a mortgage on twenty acres of land in the northern section of the county held as security on a promissory ante for $7500 by Fred Caspary against Eugene and Catherine Palge, W. H. and Ella Young, Emma Marsh and others. The note was given by Mr. and Mrs. Paige on January 20, 1915. The principal and interest from February 20, 1916, is sought in the petition. THE ANTI-DUMPING CLAUSE The anti dumping clause of the new revenue bill would be difficult enough of enforcement in normal times and would be of no practical value in coping with the abnormal situation which will follow the end of the great war. A similar provision was eliminated from the Underwood bill on the ground that the treasury department had not the machinery to enforce it. In the first place, the clause would not try to protect the United States from the sale here of any goods, no matter how low the price compared with the price elsewhere, or what the quantity, unless BROKEN TRADE BARRIERS Notwithstanding the long period of destructive war with which Mexico has been torn, that republic has been successful in raiding our markets with her produce, under the encouragement of a demolished tariff wall along the border: Our industrial defense has been as inadequate as our military defense. During the nine months ended March, 1915, Mexico unloaded upon our markets $55,000,000 worth of goods. During the nine months ended March, 1916, Mexico conducted 17 kinds of warfare, a few thousand peons reverted to type, mescal and cactus became the national diet, the customary number of Americans were pot-shot for luck, Carranza gave the school boy's sign to President Wilson, and that pepery little country to the south sent us $70,000,000 worth of goods. We sold Mexico $36,000,000 worth of our goods, which was about $6.700,000 less than we sold them during the nine months of the fiscal year ended March, 1913, when Republican laws were putting the "ade" in trade. Not much for Secretary Redfield to brag about on this showing. BONUS TO BEET GROWERS The American Beet Sugar Company of Chino has decided to anticipate the price of sugar during the coming year and will pay a bonus of 50 cents per ton to growers for beets as delivery is made at the factories, instead of distributing the bonus money next July, as is stipulated in the contracts. The basis of settlement in the contracts between the association and the growers was that $4.50 should be paid a ton for beets of 15 per cent sugar content, and 30 cents for each per cent over. An additional 50 cents a ton was agreed upon should sugar sell at a certain price throughout the year. The bonus was to have been paid after this year's crop is sold. The American Beet Sugar Company issued the statement that $5 per ton would be paid, instead of the former $4.50. The same clause relating to the 30 cents for each additional per cent of sugar remains the same. Beets going 20 per cent sugar will bring upon delivery $6.50 a ton. The beet crop in that vicinity is large, and the clause will be of great value to the growers. The factory will begin operation in the early part of Augusta and will continue night and day for a period of approximately 110 to 120 days. Last year the company paid the same bonus, making settlement two months before the agreed time. The amount distributed in that section was about $20,000, and this year the amount will be even greater. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix Bldg., Anaheim.
