AND RED CROSS STORIES ARE SEDITIOUS PEOPLE WHO MALIGN THE ORDER WILL BE HUNTED DOWN AND SEVERELY PUNISHED HAND OF THE KAISER AND HIS EMISSARIES SEEN IN SOME OF THE TALES "The Red Cross is being and is going to be protected against the sedition utterings of men and women responsible for the circulation of anti-Red Cross stories," declared Harry R. Johnson, executive secretary of the Southern California organization for the Christmas Red Cross drive. "These stories that are told are a part of a well defined German propaganda. Innocently many of our own people hear and repeat the stories about soldiers having to pay for socks, about Red Cross articles being found on sale in stores, about a pair of socks being bought by an Alaskan miner." "Those same stories have been given a start in every community where the Red Cross is active. I ask you members of the American Red Cross to write to me the details of these stories. Give me the names of the person who told them. These stories can be traced back, and they will be traced back, and let me tell you that they are nothing less than sedicious." TARIFF COMMISSION REPORT The United States tariff commission, which was organized for work April 1, 1917, has just submitted to Congress its first annual report. The commission is charged with the investigation of the administration and the fiscal and industrial effects of the customs laws of this country, including their relations not only to the federal revenue but to the industries of the country. It has power, further, to investigate commercial treaties, preferential agreements and economic alliances, and the conditions and causes affecting the competition of foreign industries with those of the United States. The commission submitted, during the extra session of this year, to the committees on ways and means of the house of representatives a report which recommended that congress should take steps analogous to those which other countries have taken, and which are there known as "padlock" laws, whereby proposed increases in duties and taxes go into effect before the enactment of new revenue laws, but subject to their being finally passed. The method adopted by Congress to attain the same end in the war revenue act of this year is to follow taxable articles into the channels of trade. But this does not reach smaller retail stocks and it has the further objection that it suddenly imposes great burdens and responsibilities on the bureau of internal revenue. The commission repeats its recommendation for permanent legislation on this subject. The commission has undertaken the task of drafting a revision and codification of the administrative laws relating to the customs, in order to remove existing duplications, contradictions in governmental policies discussed in England governing colonies; abilities are surmised of the Paris which met in between allied countries and enemy creating the tax commission was led to investigate Pact and similar arrangements in Belgium is preparing on bargaining tactics, and economics United States has sistent policy w gaining tariffs, of Europe have different system missions'e report upon which com method for using er in Americana which Americans may be adjusted tions of the mod.

UNITED STATES MISSION If we had not lense of the war tutorial, contemner and medieval P we would have h were not a free ferred peace at an interested only in David F. Houston culture. This co "Those same stories have been given a start in every community where the Red Cross is active. I ask you members of the American Red Cross to write to me the details of these stories. Give me the names of the person who told them. These stories can be traced back, and they will be traced back, and let me tell you that they are nothing less than seditious, if not entirely traitorous. We do not propose to allow the Red Cross to fall in any way a victim to such sedition. Any person who tells one of these stories for truth had better be ready to furnish proof." Johnson was in Santa Ana Saturday on business, and while there he met with the Santa Ana membership drive committee for a brief conference. "A favorite anti-Red Cross story is that a large proportion of the Red Cross money goes to pay high salaries. I want to tell you that whatever the conditions were before the war started, no such conditions prevail today. Since Mr. Davison, who is drawing the princely salary of $1 a year, took charge of the work at Washington a large share of the officers have been serving without pay. There are no huge salaries. Everywhere, in all of the big cities, Red Cross officers are serving without pay. "In Los Angeles there are just five paid employees—just five, and no more than five—and the highest salary paid is $60 a month to a stenographer who is worth $100 or more, and who could get that if she went out and got a job. She is serving the cause for $60. Those five salaries go to two stenographers; one janitor, one man to handle boxes and one assistant to this man who handles boxes. All the rest of the work in those big headquarters is done without charge. "There has been some disturbance over a charge that some of the war fund has been used for vivisection. I want to say positively to you, and with authority from Washington, that no money of the Red Cross is being used in that way. Whatever may have been done in times past, for several months no money of the Red Cross has been used in vivisection. "There is no reason why we should sit idy by and allow this splendid organization to be maligned through the spreading of stories that have back of them a desire to damage the efficiency or retail stocks and it has the further objection that it suddenly imposes great burdens and responsibilities on the bureau of internal revenue. The commission repeats its recommendation for permanent legislation on this subject. The commission has undertaken the task of drafting a revision and codification of the administrative laws relating to the customs, in order to remove existing duplications, contradictions and antiquated provisions. It has invited suggestions from treasury officials, others in the public service, and business men and attorneys. The commission hopes to present to Congress a revision which, if approved and enacted into law, will result in clearness and simplification in the form and substance of the customs administrative laws, increased efficiency and greater convenience for the public, and a substantial saving of government expenditure. In this connection the commission is also investigating the question of free zones in ports as a means of expediting export trade and overcoming demurrage in ocean commerce. The commission has undertaken to establish a catalog of tariff information, somewhat in the nature of an encyclopaedia, which shall contain as far as possible data for each important article affected by the tariff. The data will include statistics on imports, exports, production, prices and cost of production, processes of manufacture and competitive conditions. This catalog is to be kept continuously up-to-date. A part of the general plan will be the establishment of a tariff library in which will be kept books, pamphlets, letters from producers and importers, etc., classified and arranged for ready consultation in connection with the catalog. The Commission is making special survey of the chemical industry and expects to present to congress a detailed report showing the development of the industry and especially of those branches which have been most stimulated by the war. The investigation carried on by the commission will be especially devised so as to provide the information necessary for a legislative readjustment to peace conditions. By direction of the president the commission is taking the special census of chemical products made necessary by section 501 of the act of September 8, 1916.

"There is no reason why we should sit idy by and allow this splendid organization to be maligned through the spreading of stories that have back of them a desire to damage the efficiency of the Red Cross. We are in war, and the Red Cross is essentially a part of the war work. We do not propose to allow the faith of the people in it to be undermined by groundless, seditious stories." Johnson's address is Red Cross headquarters, 10th and Main Streets, Los Angeles. Among the speakers to be heard in the war conferences, which are to be held in every state in the Union during the next few months are Secretaries McAdoo and Baker, Vice President Marshall, Henry J. Allen, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Bishop Charles W. Williams, and Lieut. Paul Perigord, of the French army. Anaheim Gazette REPORT commissio for work permitted to report.

The emendá on this when the codi news re- to re-tradic- perial preference has been actively discussed in England and in her self-governing colonies. Far reaching possibilities are suggested by the results of the Paris Economic Conference which met in June, 1916, and which provided for a differential treatment between allied countries, neutral countries and enemy countries. In the act creating the tariff commission, the commission was specifically empowered to investigate the Paris Economy Pact and similar organizations and arrangements in Europe. The commission is preparing an extensive report on bargaining tariffs, commercial treaties, and economic alliances. The United States has never had a consistent policy with reference to bargaining tariffs, whereas the countries of Europe have worked out several different systems. The Tariff commissions'e report will provide the facts upon which congress may found a method for using the bargaining power in American tariffs, and also upon which American commercial treaties may be adjusted to meet the conditions of the modern world. In all that has been undertaken the commission is working in harmony with other departments of the government, thereby avoiding duplication of effort. UNITED STATES' CHOICE—SUBMISSION OR WAR If we had not accepted the challenge of the war mad, desperate, dictatorial, contemptuous, hypocritical and medieval Prussian militarists, we would have had to admit that we were not a free nation, that we preferred peace at any price and were interested only in the fleshpots, says David F. Houston, secretary of Agriculture. This country either had limited on one side by the bounds of intelligent thinking. There is a class of men who seem to think that since they are in a free country they have a right to utter words that are disloyal to the ideals which led to the founding of the American republic, and to the very principles under which they have their liberty of speech. They say things which if put in practice would do away with democracy and put all Americans in subjection to those who are deadly enemies to human liberty and friendly to the ideals of the early ages of the race when might was right. Loyalty is a condition of free speech. No man has any constitutional right to undermine his country by disloyal talk. APPEAL FOR AID To the Farmers of California: Should the war end tomorrow you will have to aid in feeding Europe and America for the next two or three years. Europe is practically out of food, seed and raw materials. All these must be supplied to the warring nations, even Germany—after peace, so forget that over production propaganda. The order comes to the coast to speed up production. Now, how can that best be done in the quickest and most efficient manner in the face of existing conditions, labor and otherwise, which ened not be entered into in detail here. The farmers' committee of the California Development Board is trying to reach a solution of problems confronting the California producer. The work has just begun and it is the intention to cut straight through red tape and get certain much-to-bedesign and will increase. How long can you supply it with your present production? Don't stop to think about the If we had not accepted the challenge of the war mad, desperate, dictatorial, contemptuous, hypocritical and medieval Prussian militarists, we would have had to admit that we were not a free nation, that we preferred peace at any price and were interested only in the fleshpots, says David F. Houston, secretary of Agriculture. This country either had to swallow its own words, abdicate its position as a free sovereign power, concede that it had no fights except concede that it had no rights except those which Germany accorded it, hold its citizens and ships away from Europe, or to recognize the plain fact that Germany was acting in a hostile manner against it, fight to defend its rights, fight for humanity and the cause of civilization and free peoples everywhere, joining its power with the other free nations of the world to put an end to autocratic and brute force. There was one choice we could not make—we were incapable of making. We could not "choose the path of submission and suffer the most sacred rights of our nation and our people to be ignored or violated." Does not this review make it plain what it would mean to the world if Germany should win and if free, democratic, law supporting nations like Great Britain and France were destroyed, if Europe should fall under the domination of Germany, headed by the Prussian military autocrats who know no right except might, who believe that small and peace loving nations have no standing, and who attack no sanctity to a pledge, no matter how solemn? If Prussian militarism should be permitted to dominate then the Anglo-Saxon fight for free institutions and liberty, persisting from Runnymede to Yorktown, its fight against the absolute rights of kings and barons, with its Magna Charta, its Bill of Rights, its Declaration of Independence, and the heroic fight of the French people for liberty, would have been made in vain. Has it not become patent that Prussia is the last great stronghold of feudal absolutism; that in fighting Prussian autocracy the modern nations are truly assisting the Germans, who are only in part conscious of their servitude, to gain what England, France and America have had for generations; and that we are surely finally about to make the world safe for democracy. The farmers' committee of the California Development Board is trying to reach a solution of problems confronting the California producer. The work has just begun and it is the intention to cut straight through red tape and get certain much-to-be-desired information at the earliest possible moment. California with her 20 million untitled acres could feed our entire National army and part of Europe. But these acres are untilled from various causes—lack of funds with which to purchase improved farm machinery, increase in the wages of farm labor, absentee owners etc. The committee first desires a working idea of the number of acres of plow land in your county or section or district that is likely to remain idle the coming season unless aid of some sort is extended. By plow land we mean that land on which a plow may go to work next week or next month. The number of acres, approximately, in your locality held by absentee owners and not cultivated. Possibly said owners may be reached by lease or otherwise and their lands made productive. Also the farmer that might double or triple or quadruple his production if he had machinery or the means to employ labor. The custom of sending out questionnaires to individuals in each county is well enough but slow. The committee desires this information at the earliest possible moment and takes this direct method of addressing you. It is not any one man's job—it is every Californian's job. Absolute accuracy is of course out of the question. The committee understands that the estimate of the number of acres asked for will be only approximate, but will furnish a working basis. The committee is relying on the man who can go to his local bank and get assistance, to do his utmost within himself. The land owner who leases his holdings will also be relied upon to furnish his tenants with a tractor or some other method of increasing his production which will return to him the price many fold, by deeper cultivation and incerased acreage.

FREE SPEECH AND MAD TALK The right of free speech which every American enjoys does not carry with it any right to indulge in unreasonable, erratic and disloyal words without check or limit. Many a man talks without thinking, and gives utterance to sayings which are illogical, unreasonable and ridiculous. He does this with the notion that he is indulging his rights under the constitution. But the thoughtful man who thinks with his brain, not with his tongue, is every careful what he says, knowing that his freedom to talk is conditioned upon talking with meaning and reason. Free speech is We cannot but rejoice that the persistency wherewith the navy department has fought for the retention of the naval petroleum preserves has at last been crowned with success. When President Taft withdrew from entry millions upon millions of acres of public land, the withdraway was ordered solely that the government might reserve to its own use such oil, coal and other lands as it desired. The navy department then seasonably made selection of certain of the withdrawn lands and they were set aside as naval reserves in order to insure an abundant and continuing supply of fuel to our ships of war. It chanced that within the limit of these reserves citizens had made entries and corporations had obtained holdings they sought to validate. Some of these claims were unquestionably meritorious and presented equities the government could not in fairness disregard. In each succeeding congress since President Taft's time efforts have been made to enact leg- Look for the name Witman on your Xmas Packages.

When new from entry of acres of pub- isolation that would enable claimants within the naval reserves to retain their holdings. The navy department vigorously and properly fought these measures and so the question has remained undetermined for several years. Had the effect of the deadlock been confined to the lands within the naval reserves over which the contest raged, no appreciable public injury would have resulted. Pending a settlement of the question, however, action was necessarily deferred as to the disposition of the millions of acres included in the withdrawn area and not designated as reserves. In consequence the development of the west suffered serious retardation. Phosphate lands could not be worked although there was great demand for fertilizers. The need for a larger coal production has intensified, but, pending action by congress, the coal lands within the withdrawn areas remained as useless as if they were on another planet. The oil areas were left in the same unsettled condition. Serious as has been the hardship incurred in some instances, we rejoice that the navy department made so persistent a fight. Under the compromise that has been reached the oil lands set apart for the navy's use will remain the government's undivided property, and the navy thus be assured of a fuel supply for many years to come. At the same time millions of acres of public land will be restored to public entry under conditions that will preserve government ownership theerin and provide considerable and continuing revenue. A degenerate has been annoying young girls in some of the outlying sections of the city, as they are on their way home from school. In each case the child has been so frightened by the fiendish actions of the man that they have been unable to give a description of him. Officers have been watching for the culprit and are determined to catch him. A nation wide campaign for economy in the use of coal in steam plants has been undertaken by the fuel administration. The bureau of mines is conducting the campaign with the help of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. At a children's hospital recently established by the American Red Cross in France, an average of 350 boys and girls are being examined each day. In connection is a dental dispensary located in an old kitchen with a dental chair improvised from a wine barrel. In its campaign for the saving of coal the Fuel Administration declares the average American home is super-heated. Eminent American physicians are quoted as saying that a room above 68 degrees Farenheit is too warm for health and exposes the occupants to catarrhal diseases and pneumonia.
