The dyestuff duties, as amended by the free traders in congress, are says Secretary Marvin, "deficient both in method and in amount." It is gratifying to note that the National association of Wool Manufacturers has already acted along the line of tariff preparedness suggested by the resolution adopted at the recent annual meeting of the American Protective Tariff League. Secretary Marvin says: General tariff legislation is not likely to be undertaken for many months to come, but a special tariff committee in many cases. It was commonly predicted before the law went into effect that rich people would conceal a good part of their incomes. As you see the satisfaction that many people take in cheating Uncle Sam at the custom house, this seems quite likely. Many persons who would worry over cheating a grocer out of fifty cents are highly gratified to get the better of the government. Yet severe penalties are enforced for violation of this tax law, which may well turn back some of our white liars.

They will be in much better position in this case if they have made up their figures in strict conformity to facts. There is nothing smart in cheating the government. Temporarily it leaves a little more money in one's pocket. But if any considerable number of people do it, the resources of the government are depleted. It becomes evident on the face of it that people of wealth are holding themselves above the law. That creates anarchists and socialists and foments strikes and all industrial disorders.

It is gratifying to note that the National association of Wool Manufacturers has already acted along the line of tariff preparedness suggested by the resolution adopted at the recent annual meeting of the American Protective Tariff League. Secretary Marvin says: General tariff legislation is not likely to be undertaken for many months to come, but a special tariff committee has been authorized by the executive committee and selected by the president of the association to make a deliberate and thorough study of the subject, so that the industry may be ready to present dependable facts before the committees of congress or the proposed tariff commission whenever the need and opportunity arise. There are no illusions among manufacturers as to what may be expected as soon as the belligerent nations after the return of peace have secured the necessary quota of war disciplined men in the industries which even without them are credited with having developed a higher efficiency than ever before. The great war has killed the dogma of free trade, and the one nation of Europe which stood ostensibly devoted to laissez faire is, significantly, now the nation which is taking the lead in the adoption of the most extreme measures of protectionism. Any foreign import which severely threatens British prosperity is not merely taxed; it is prohibited, and a large state subsidy is given to create a British dyestuff manufacture. A DAY OF WRATH American manufacturers are now making as much dyestuffs as we used Anaheim Gazette to import from Germany—that is to say, 30,000 tons a year, in place of 3000. They are making them because the manufacture is protected by the British blockade of German ports. Remove the blackade by the termination of the war, and adhere to the policy of giving this manufacture no adequate tariff protection, and where would this new industry be? "Away die Ewigkeit," probably, for after the war the enormous mass of dyestuffs, a by-product of war munitions, which Germany has been accumulating, would promptly be dumped on the American market. Germany would give the dyestuffs away to get the business back. The position of several other newly built up industries is virtually the same. The proclamation of peace will be a day of wrath for many an American manufacturer, under the prevalent economic legislation at Washington. LIBRARY REPORT Miss J.

Mr. Bradford said he had asked his visitor if he wanted the orchard as a paying investment, or a plaything. The gentleman stated that he desired the orchard for a business proposition. He had been offered the tract for $1000 per acre. Mr. Bradford advised the gentleman, in that event, to leave it alone. He further said that if the man desired to successfully raise Valencia oranges he would have to come to Orange county, and so he did. Mr. Bradford said that the exhibit maintained at the Orange Show had been transferred to the Los Angeles chamber of commerce rooms, where the fruit display will be kept open for inspection of visitors. Many of the bills now up for enactment in the legislature came in for severe condemnation. John A. McFadden said bill No. 248, which aims to repeal the bill giving supervisors power to levy a small tax for advertising purposes, should be defeated, and presented a resolution to that effect, which was adopted. Walter Eden of Santa Ana read the synopsis of several bills now pending, which in his opinion should be defeated. One of the measures provides for the appointment of a director or commissioner, whose powers would give them authority over all mutual fruit exchanges. The speaker said that were this bill to become a law the local orange, lemon and walnut associations would be greatly handicapped in the management of their affairs. The directors could tell the organization when and how to ship their fruits, and could call in witnesses to prove their contentions. The bill was classed as pernicious, and Mr. Eden said it would set the county back twenty-four favored dropping the Tournament display, but this was decisively objected to and a motion prevailed that exhibits he maintained in both instances. Through these channels the county receives a large amount of judicious advertising. GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE STATE RAILROAD TAX Newlands Joint Congressional Committee Considering Proposition That all railroad properties in the country may be taken away from the tax jurisdiction of the various states and used hereafter exclusively for federal revenue is the startling assertion of Max Thelen, president of the National Association of Railroad Commissioners, outlined in a letter to the California Tax Commission. At the present time, President Thelen points out, there is a definite proposal before the Newlands Joint Congressional committee to have the federal government assume practically all the powers which the states now exercise over railroads. The taking over of the right to tax railroads exclusively for federal purposes has also been suggested, although not yet formally incorporated as a part of the congressional program. The effect of such drastic action by Congress would completely revolutionize the revenue system of every state in the Union. In California it would eliminate from state and local taxation the property of the Southern Pacific, Western Pacific, Salt Lake and Santa Fe. President Thelen commends the California Tax Commission for taking the leadership in the call for a congress of the states to consider the constantly increasing difficulties arising from the persistent encroachment by Congress upon the tax domain of the states. He suggests that the pro- CALIFORNIA PREPARING FOR SERVICE For months past California growers have been stimulated by good prices and outlooks for her special products to prepare for largely increased production. It is to be expected that the acreage of potatoes, onions, beans, and tomatoes will be much greater than usual, and with water now assured, if conserved by proper cultivation, to roll up notable field crops. It surely is the outlook that all such things will bring good prices, for there will be no carry-over, and the distractions of the world will continue to demand, at least to the end of everything that can be grown in 1917. But care should be had not to gamble too widely in the year's crop. It is not at all to be expected that prices which are at present verging on famine figures will be continued. It will be enough to realize really profitable values, for anything more than that is very liable to die on the way. Buyers are not out freely offering to contract, and contractors are apt to overdo themselves, for reasons of which some may be apparent and some obscure. It is a good thing for the grower to have a good contract, whether it be with a grower's selling organization, or otherwise. In the latter case it is vastly more important that his contract should be good than that it should name the extreme price. It is better to lose fractions in price than to lose whole numbers because a contractor is welching or irresponsible. Wild buying and all kinds of ventures are to be expected under the sensational conditions which seem to be now prevalent, and if prices should recede there will be all kinds of holes in contracts disclosed. Look to the responsibility of the contracting buyer and attach due weight to your assurance of that. One of the 2743 bills introduced in the state legislature during the January session, provides for a commission of each member being paid a salary of $20 per day for their services for the examination and licensing of music teachers. There are many bills that appear to have little or no merits them authority over all mutual fruit exchanges. The speaker said that were this bill to become law the local orange, lemon and walnut associations would be greatly handicapped in the management of their affairs. The directors could tell the organization when and how to ship their fruits, and could call in witnesses to prove their contentions. The bill was classed as pernicious, and Mr. Eden said it would set the county back twenty years. Mr. Eden presented a resolution, which was adopted, providing for the exemption of the orange, lemon and walnut, besides other local fruit organizations, from the bill. The representatives in the legislature will be appealed to, asking that they use all honorable means to defeat the passage of this bill, which is classed as assembly bill 325. Other bills now pending affect the fishing industries, besides the kelp product, the latter industry it is aimed to turn over to the fish and game commission. This is was argued by Judge Philbrook, would be unwise. That gentleman severely condemned the measure, and believed the better way would be to turn over all proceeds from the sale of kelp to the school funds of the state, thereby giving a worthy cause the benefit. Judge Philbrick overs that once the fish and game commission got their hooks upon the industry the money would be lavishly spent for a chosen few, and he believed a $50,000 pleasure yacht would be one of the adjuncts. Lew Wallace, as a member of the committee serving with Judge Philbrook, submitted a report in opposition to that advanced by the Judge. Mr. Wallace said that he would just as soon see the kelp industry in the hands of the fish and game commission as any other body of men, believing that they would give the people a square deal. The gentlemen are to submit their reports in brief, which in turn will be submitted to the judiciary committee, who will digest the same and take the bill up with the state representatives for solution. Lew Wallace briefly reported upon progress of the harbor project at Newport Beach. The people there have been temporarily held up for a fancy price of $25,000 for a part of the right of way upon which to anchor the jetty. The property is to be condemned and proceedings will be delayed 90 days. After that feature is disposed of. ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY By a thorough house cleannig the state of Kansas will try to get rid of an endless and useless array of boards and commissions. If the economy and efficiency program goes through as planned two boards will run the affairs of the state with one head for both. There will be a small board to handle state affairs and another to handle all the state institutions, the governor heading the two. All boards of three or more are to be displaced by one expert with authority to hire clerks, and he under one of the state boards. A great many departments are to be consolidated under one head and a great many more are to be abolished, as having no value. A saving of $500,000 a year is to be effected by such a program and other states are trying the same thing. Kansas has tried nearly all the fads and fancies which have been urged upon the public by aspiring political reformers during the past quarter of a century, and she apparently has grown weary of the whole mess. All of them were urged upon the state as great reforms which would lead the people out of the slough of incompetency and uncertainty into the sunlight of success, and all that sort of thing. And now you can read the verdict of Kansas after giving them all a trial. All of which is respectfully referred to the legislature of this state. HIGH PRICE FOR BEANS Orange county lima beans are com- There will be all kinds of holes in contracts disclosed. Look to the responsibility of the contracting buyer and attach due weight to your assurance of that. One of the 2743 bills introduced in the state legislature during the January session, provides for a commission of each member being paid a salary of $20 per day for their services for the examination and licensing of music teachers. There are many bills that appear to have little or no merits upon which to recommend them to the thoughtful consideration of members of the legislature, but this one comes close to capping the climax, from the standpoint of ridiculousness. There are many wise men in the legislature at Sacramento. There are big men there, and there are some pretty small potatoes in the pile. One might be led to believe from an investigation of some of the bills introduced that there are some statesmen who ought to go to Patton instead of Sacramento. One childish measure is that putting fetters upon the profession of music teaching. Any teacher is doing a good work for mighty small recompense, and one ought to as soon think of taxing a public school teacher for teaching the young idea how to shoot, or penalizing Sunday school teachers for trying to keep the boys and girls from going to that certain place which is not known as heaven. While using kerosene in starting a fire in a wood stove, Henry Baldwin received serious injuries. The can from which the fluid was being poured exploded, and blazing kerosene struck Baldwin on the head, face and hands. The accident occurred at La Habra. Baldwin was taken to the county hospital. While his condition is serious, he will recover. Lew Wallace briefly reported upon progress of the harbor project at Newport Beach. The people there have been temporarily held up for a fancy price of $25,000 for a part of the right way upon which to anchor the jetty. The property is to be condemned and proceedings will be delayed 90 days. After that feature is disposed of Mr. Wallace believes all would be well for progress of harbor activities. The report criticizing Mr. MacDanald for partiality shown certain sections of the county, in sending out intending home seekers, was held in abeyance, no action being taken at the meeting. It was announced that officers for the ensuing year would be elected at the next meeting, which will be held in Santa Ana the last Wednesday of this month. Cards were handed out announcing March 10, as California Orange Day, and further asking everybody to let that day be the day to begin to eat oranges every day. A vote of thanks was extended the Westminster board of trade for their hospitality and the meeting adjourned. Quite a delegation from this city attended the meeting, and while the guests were assembled in the reception room, the candidacy of F. C. Krause for the chairmanship for the ensuing year was advocated. That gentleman has many supporters within the ranks of delegates and it is said he will have a walkaway. It was suggested that Orange county begin early to prepare its exhibits at both the Pasadena Tournament of Roses and the National Orange Show at San Bernardino. Some members lead the people out of the slough of incompetency and uncertainty into the sunlight of success, and all that sort of thing. And now you can read the verdict of Kansas after giving them all a trial. All of which is respectfully referred to the legislature of this state. HIGH PRICE FOR BEANS Orange county lima beans are coming into their own. With Charles Morris, the representative of the J. K. Armsby company, last week contracting for limas for delivery in September and October at 8 cents the pound, a new mark was set for that product in Orange county. It is understood that the quotation prevailed only for Orange county beans so far as is known no other independent buyer in other bean sections being authorized to make that offer. Heretofore the prices on Orange county limas have been a little under those quoted for the product of Ventura and other bean growing counties. The quotations of last week indicate that the firm Morris represents now consider the local output equal to the best. IF OUR NAVY GOES TO WAR Under the caption, "If Our Navy Goes to War," the Army and Navy Journal suggests what the navy may be expected to do in case it is called into service. On this point it says: "Just what role the United States navy will play in the event of a war with Germany our navy strategists have undoubtedly determined ere this, and all possible advantage will be taken of such lessons as have been NEW GRAND THEATRE BEAUTIFUL SAFE AND SANITARY PLAYHOUSE PERFECT THE PRIDE OF ANAHEIM THE HOME OF "ALWAYS GOOD" SHOWS.

NO HIGHER TWO SHOWS AT NIGHT—7:15 and 8:45 learned from the present war. As to what our navy can or cannot do, however, there are many interesting questions. It seems very certain that our battleships in the event of war will get little or no opportunity to show their qualities at first, and they would probably remain safe in a harbor behind mine fields awaiting an emergency demanding their presence on the high seas. "So long as the German high sea fleet is bottled up in its own waters by the British fleet, there seems no reason to assume that the situation in this respect is going to change, and as the great main British fleet can more than take care of the Germans, our battleships would hardly be called upon to seek the German fleet, or perform patrol duty along our coasts or on the high seas, and make themselves food for German submarines. "It is known that the Germans for the last two years have been turning their attention to the construction of lighter craft, such as submarines and seagoing torpedo boat destroyers and light cruisers of new and improved types, and less attention has been paid to the construction of big capital ships. What our navy, then, will be called upon to meet in the event of war will be the submarine menace to our shipping at sea and along our coasts. This work will require many fast torpedo boat destroyers and fast submarine chasers, well armed, for it may be safely assumed the Germans are putting guns of powerful caliber on is necessary, it will be done with our lighter craft. We therefore see no particular role for the battleships, except as a reserve force to meet the German high sea fleet in case that fleet ever gains the high seas, or perhaps in bombarding some naval base, which seems unlikely. "While German seamen are well acquainted with our important submarine base at New London, our tope-do station at Newport, the Norfolk and Philadelphia yards, etc., our mines should form an adequate protection against submarines that might try to venture into harbors to destroy shipping. Suitable patrol boats will certainly be on hand to guard against the emergency of a German submarine finding its way in." State Superintendent of Weights and Measures Charles C. Johnson announces that he is ready to place all the machinery of his department at work in an investigation of the food situation in California. With the aid of deputies in practically every county of the state, he says, he can furnish the legislature within a few days with a report on the amount of commodities available for food purposes stored in most of the warehouses and cold storage plants throughout the state. Before taking such action, however, he wants to secure approval of his course by the legislature and has notified Senators Tyrell and Nealon of what his department stands ready to do.
