Anaheim Gazette ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter GOVERNMENT FIAT CANNOT GUARANTEE WORKER A JOB The superstition that the government can produce prosperity by fiat and employment by statute is evidenced in the resolution of organizations which declare "the right to work," and look to the federal authorities to provide jobs for everybody at good wages after the war, regardless of the industrial conditions. Unfortunately resolutions of this kind take the place, with most of those who adopt them, of any common sense program for making it possible to create conditions which will ensure employment. We have just witnessed a trial in Russia, under the bolsheviki, of the ignorant idea that all that is necessary to make every body rich is for the government to grab everything and pass it around, and for the "workers" to control industry. The government can help in matters of this kind, but those who think the state can furnish everyone with food and clothes and luxuries produced by political magic have a rude awakening coming to them when the world resumes doing business at the old stand at the close of the war. Of course we have the beautiful theories of those who assume that a New Jerusalem is to be arranged for in the cross-ocean merchant marine operating under the American flag was entirely destroyed—a crime which has cost the American people in the last four and a half years more than one hundred times the probable cost of all the governmental subventions, equalizing foreign and American production and operation costs, necessary to have created a merchant fleet, operating or the cross-ocean routes, that would have saved us billions upon billions of dollars. Now we are asked by the same demagogues and doctrinalists and alien interests to apply the same system to domestic production, and find the remedy in government ownership. It has been the deliberate design of some of these camouflaged state socialists to employ governmental policies that would extirpate domestic industry in order that an excuse might be created for complete political possession of American industry. There is absolutely no possibility of the maintenance of either the present scale of American wages, or the one prevailing at the beginning of the European was in this country, without absolutely destroying employment through the pressure of cheaper alien production under existing tariff legislation. This is as clear as the noonday sun to anyone who has a memory reaching back to mid-summer of 1914, immediately before the European war began, when three million wage earners were out of jobs in the United States, and the immediate prospect was that this number of unemployed would be doubled, and the hours and wages of those remaining in employment would be curtailed. The government cannot guarantee any man a job, or certain hours of employment, or certain wages. If it could, all we would have to do in this country would be to get together and vote ourselves salaries and pensions to the limit of our desires, and at once inaugurate as much of a millennium as the way, the expense to authorities. We have reached way affairs.

Cable, state Women's Committee Chairman asking county organization the county a hund in the drive for "V this to be done to grab everything and pass it around, and for the "workers" to control industry. The government can help in matters of this kind, but those who think the state can furnish everyone with food and clothes and luxuries produced by political magic have a rude awakening coming to them when the world resumes doing business at the old stand at the close of the war. Of course we have the beautiful theories of those who assume that a New Jerusalem is to be arranged for in the treaty of peace, whereby everyone will get large wages for little work and competition between industries and nations will come to an end. This is, however, the stuff that dreams are made of, and sooner or later it will fade before the approach of rude reality, when the dreams will become the mere memories of nightmare. The only possible guarantee of profitable employment either for labor or enterprise—and despite the clamor of the demagogues and doctrinales the prosperity of one without that of the other is utterly impossible—is sufficient inducement in industrial conditions to business enterprise to put the wheels turning in American industries. If we are to have world-wide communism in industry after the war; if we are to continue in effect a tariff law which gives over the American market to the alien producer; if we are to persist in legislation which discourages American industry and encourages foreign industry at our expense, then the dependence upon governmental power to keep wages up and employment continuous will be as futile as trying to mop up the Atlantic ocean with a bath towel. The effectiveness of government in enacting and enforcing legislation bettering the condition of the wage earner is entirely dependent upon the maintenance of opportunity for business enterprise which will make it possible to profitably employ capital under the costs of production fixed by wage scales and hours and conditions of labor. The government can fix wage scales, it can determine the hours and conditions of labor, it may even, apparently, decree that employment is conditional upon membership in a certain organization, but it cannot compel or persuade industry to operate on a basis of loss; nor can it take over these industries and operate them at a loss on its own account as it is doing in the case of the railroads, unless there is a tax paying public, kept in funds, by private enterprise, to foot the bills. The government cannot guarantee any man a job, or certain hours of employment, or certain wages. If it could, all we would have to do in this country would be to get together and vote ourselves salaries and pensions to the limit of our desires, and at once inaugurate as much of a millenium as the bolshevik promised Russia. By a failure in this country to enact legislation which makes the continuance of industry possible in this country at American production costs, and saves to the American people the first opportunity in a market incomparably the richest in the world and which has the vast advantage of being near at hand, we will make it impossible for the individual or the corporation or the government to pay the American standard of wages, maintain the American standard of living, and keep going. The worst enemies of the American wage earner are those who hold up to him the promise that governmental flat, independent of the adoption of common sense measures to protect American prosperity, can keep up wages, ensure employment, or do anything of great value for the welfare of the workers of this country in the absence of fundamentally sound industrial conditions such as we had sacrificed by the deliberate act of the party in power before the European war put a smoke screen over the crime of 1913,—the Simmons-Underwood tariff law deeding the American market to alien enterprise and alien labor as a free gift from a party which twice within the memory of middle aged Americans has sacrificed scores of billions of American wealth by that same bourbon blunder. VAST HIGHWAY BUILDING That a big road revolution is near at hand in this country is the opinion of many leading highway advocates, says Motor Age. It has been proposed in Congress that $100,000,000 be appropriated to defray the expenses of taking-over, improving, constructing and maintaining a system of national highways. This bill has been read twice and referred to the Committee on Military Affairs of the Senate. It is pointed out that such a system would work wonders in the farm of States, and the immediate prospect was that this number of unemployed would be doubled, and the hours and wages of those remaining in employment would be curtailed. The government cannot guarantee any man a job, or certain hours of employment, or certain wages. If it could, all we would have to do in this country would be to get together and vote ourselves salaries and pensions to the limit of our desires, and at once inaugurate as much of a millenium as the bolshevik promised Russia. By a failure in this country to enact legislation which makes the continuance of industry possible in this country at American production costs, and saves to the American people the first opportunity in a market incomparably the richest in the world and which has the vast advantage of being near at hand, we will make it impossible for the individual or the corporation or the government to pay the American standard of wages, maintain the American standard of living, and keep going.

The tariff law now on the statute books offers entrance on terms of equality to the capital invested in industrial enterprises in foreign, neutral and enemy nations, despite the fact that in practically every one of these countries production costs, based upon labor costs, are lower than they are in the United States. Out of mere hatred for business, politicians pretend that in this country capital can pay twice the European and five times the oriental wage, and yet do business, unprotected, not only in the American market but in the markets of the world. Of course, these politicians do not believe this, but for the votes they think are in it, they profess to think that costs of production have nothing to do with selling costs, and that if the American business man cannot compete with the foreign producer employing the labor of the peasant, the coolie or the peon, then the remedy is to seize private property and usher in complete state socialism, which is to make everybody rich out of the public treasury. Through the employment of just such a policy as this, urged for years on the one hand by home grown demagogues and impractical economic theories and on the other by alien financial and commercial interests, the That a big road revolution is near at hand in this country is the opinion of many leading highway advocates, says Motor Age. It has been proposed in Congress that $100,000,000 be appropriated to defray the expenses of taking over, improving, constructing and maintaining a system of national highways. This bill has been read twice and referred to the Committee on Military Affairs of the Senate. It is pointed out that such a system would work wonders in the farm of from 5,000 to 10,000 miles of splendid highway, while in addition state and local appropriations would be encouraged. Another good roads official advocates $100,000,000 a year for a Federal highway system. At the reconstruction meeting at Atlantic City December 4-5, many matters dealing with highways are expected to come up. The need for roads as a peace-time necessity has only been stressed by the great world war. A great road meeting will be held in Chicago 11-12. James I. Blakeslee, fourth assistant postmaster general, proposes to use all surplus military equipment for the transportation of merchandise throughout the country. He outlines a general plan for the building and maintaining of a system of highways which would make it possible to do this. Three methods of meeting the cost of which would be paid by the government and which would be used by the government for the transportation of food products, all necessary military supplies and any merchandise upon which enough revenue to meet the expenses of maintenance can be earned. The second method is a series of feeder highways the cost of which would be borne by Federal and local authorities. The third is a state and county high- ANAHEIM GAZETTE TOYS, D ANAHEIM MUSIC & NOVELL H. J. EFKER APPEAL TO WOMEN FOR STRENUOUS EFFORT Message to the Women's Committee County Council of Defense A request has come from Mrs. Herbert A. Cable, state chairman of the Women's Committee, to the County Chairman asking the members of the county organization to help in giving the county a hundred per cent record in the drive for "World Relief Week"; this to be done by reaching every way, the expense to be borne by local authorities. We have reached a crisis in highway affairs. On that December day in 1917 when the first army motor truck convoy from Detroit eastward delivered the trucks with their contents at an Atlantic seaport under their own power for shipment to France, the growth of this method of transportation took a tremendous bound. Nor has it stopped bounding since. Trucks have made transcontinental trips, delivering goods under their own power. An entire state has joined shovels on the highway to keep the roads open for truck convoys in snow. What has been done under the stress of war can be done under the greater leisure of peace, when more time, more labor and more efforts are available for other than war needs. The government has been, and is training men to drive the trucks in whose construction it has taken such a large part during the last several months. These trucks will need roads to travel over, and all the skill of many trained drivers will not be able to exact the full efficiency of these trucks without the proper highways. Let us hope these great meetings of December, the one at Atlantic City and the other at Chicago, will bring forth something of action that will mean increased transportation and a real highway system for our great country. Administrator Crookshank, who had not interpreted instructions sent him as raising the ban on sugar, wired Food Administrator Merritt Monday, and received the following: "Domestic sales still on basis four pounds per person per month. Public service sales (restaurants) still on basis four pounds to ninety meals." This clears the mix-up and is plain. Ice cream manufacturers are now permitted to make icees and sherbets, a restriction having been on these for six months. It is no longer necessary for merchants to make or send in permits or weekly reports of retail sugar sales. The food administration is placing people on their honor. While it still insists on the limit of four pounds per month, all methods for checking the amount of purchases by individuals are eliminated. Local Notes Double funeral services for Manuel Andrade, member of a pioneer Southern California family and his wife, who died within a few hours of each other, were held yesterday, burial being in Hollywood. Andrade's father was formerly Mexican consul at Los Angeles. Death was caused in both cases by pneumonia following an attack of influenza. Mr. and Mrs. Andrade died at their ranch at Elizabeth Lake. They leave two small children. Marcus Andrade, uncle of the young man, went up to Hollywood Sunday to attend the funeral but found it had been postponed until Wednesday. He says when the dead wagon arrived at the home at 11 o'clock Saturday to get the body of his nephew the physician in charge requested the driver to wait as the wife was dying and he could take both corpses back. He waited, and at 3 o'clock carried the husband and wife to the undertakers. PINEAPPLE GUAVA That the pineapple guava has come to Southern California to stay, in verification of the prediction made for this hardy fruit by its introducer, is attested by the generous evidence of these shrubs in so many gardens. While as yet there has been no extensive planting on a commercial scale, still the experiment has been carried so thoroughly throughout the southern counties that the market stalls are now fairly...

Five million or more dollars will be the return from the citrus crop in the district south of the Santa Ana river by the end of the year. In the early part of the year, the crop was estimated at a little more than $4,000,000. The Orange County Fruit Exchange, making its report for the month of November, shows returns of $295,672.50, bringing the total for the year to $4,156,575.50, the average for the year being about $1,000 to the car. It is estimated that there are yet thirty cars within the district to be added to the total given. Some of the thirty cars have been shipped but returns have not been made as yet and they do not figure in the total. The association controls about three-fourths of the citrus product of the district, and it is believed the returns from the other one-third handled by independents will swell the total returns to more than $5,000,000.

The shrub imported by France in 1900 did not produce fruit until seven years later, but in California it is not unusual to find three-year-old specimens ripening their fruits. The fruit is bronze green when ripe, with thick, white, pulpy, juicy sweet flavor and penetrating odor. It blooms in May and June and ripens its fruit from September to December. Many growers have expressed disappointment because their shrubs are unproductive, even though the plants bloom profusely. Isolated specimens and in many cases unproductive, but when planted in a group, it will be found that the fertilization of the flowers is perfected and those plants that were barren before become productive. The plant will stand neglect and bear some fruit near the coast with little if any water except from the sky, but for best results the irrigation should be about the same as is required by an orange tree. The soil should be rich in humus. The fruit of the feljoa should be allowed to become thoroughly mature on the bush and fall of its own accord. It should then be laid in a cool place until it is in condition for use, which is when the fruit becomes slightly soft. At that stage of development it possesses a highly fragrant odor. It may be eaten out of hand or cooked in various ways, being excellent for jelly, jam or preserves. As a crystallized confection it is delicious. Dr. Franceschi pronounces it "the coming fruit for all parts of California—a perfect shipper—as hardy as a YS, DOLLS, Doll Heads and Wigs MUSIC & NOVELTY CO. H. J.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES The high school is again hard at work after the enforced six weeks of vacation caused by the flu epidemic. Teachers and students are co-operating and striving to make up the lost work. But since "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," several good entertainments are slated for the near future. Next Tuesday evening, December 10, the Gray-Thevinne entertainers are to give a musical program at the high school auditorium. Both are skilled artists at the piano and violin. They had been engaged before the schools closed down on account of the flu, but as public meetings were prohibited it was postponed. However, it is safe to predict that they will be here next Tuesday. The faculty and student body wish and expect that there will be a large audience, not only because it is beneficial to everyone, but by it the student body will have more money in the treasury. Mr. Thevinne has consented to give the school 40 per cent of the proceeds. It is intended to put the money taken in by the entertain- Errors occur in the list printed for Orange county, which covers deaths since the entrance of California into the war, excepting a partial report for November. The list is given herewith as produced in the pamphlet and the parents or relatives of those named will confer a great favor, and will assist the committee in getting the correct information for compiling war history, by sending the corrections to the committee at once. THREE MACHINES MIX There was some little excitement on Spadra road, midway between Commonwealth avenue and Amerige avenue. Fullerton, Tuesday, when there was a mix-up of three automobiles, one of which was City Attorney Allen's ill ol' Ford, which was parked innocently by the roadside, as Mr. Allen sat quietly in his office upstairs pondering over legal lore. E. B. McKeehan, of 119 East Chapman, an oil driller for the Standard, was returning from the Standard's Irvine No. 1, where he is attempting to strike oil, and was jogging along leisurely at 15 miles an hour, and every minute drawing a little closer to his happy home, when suddenly the right front hub of his big, heavy ma- The guava has come to stay, in verification made for this introducer, is attestive evidence of these gardens.

Mr. Thevinne has consented to give the school 40 per cent of the proceeds. It is intended to put the money taken in by the entertainment into the annual fund. Another way which has been successfully adopted for raising money to publish the high school annual is by pie sales. Last Tuesday and today (Thursday) both boys and girls of the upper classes brought pies and although they did not last long, quite a large sum of money was added to the annual fund. Don't forget the program Tuesday night. You can secure tickets from almost any student as everyone is trying to help out the school by selling these tickets. So be sure and come and bring your friends, as it will be a great pleasure and benefit to you, and will greatly assist the student body. The California War History Committee has compiled a casualty list covering only California, copies of which have been distributed throughout the state. It contains the list of California men who have died while in the service, listing the casualties by counties. There probably are errors and omissions in the list and Edward A. Dickson, chairman of the committee, requests that those who note errors report corrections, addressing communications to California War History Committee, Soldiers' Biography Division, State Capitol, Sacramento. All three machines were damaged more or less, but McKeehan's car got the worst of the encounter. McKeehan's and Hendrix's machines had to be towed to repair shops, but Allen's little flivver trotted off with its own power. SPIRITUALIST Rev. Alice Williams, of Santa Ana, will lecture and give messages in the hall over the Plain Dealer office, North Los Angeles street, December 6th, at 8:45 P.M. All are welcome. CITY MEAT MARKET 117 W.
