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 AGAIN THE BREAD LINE What we have predicted has come to pass. Under the McKinley, Dingley and Payne-Aldrich acts this country enjoyed unexamined prosperity. If a man said he couldn't find work, everybody knew that it was because he dodged around the corner every time a job came near. If he didn't work it was because he didn't want to work. Jobs were plenty and wages were high. Then Protectionists had a family quarrel which resulted in dividing their vote between rival candidates, both favoring the doctrine of Protection, the split bringing about the election of a minority candidate for president, together with a National Congress favorable to Free-Trade. Then followed, in 1913, the enactment of the Underwood Free-Trade Bill. We predicted disaster and widespread want. We said that soup houses and bread lines would be the result. They quickly came, the Free-Trade New York Times, alone, feeding thousands day after day, says the American Economist. What made breadlines necessary? Unemployment. What made unemployment? Free-Trade. Unemployment, want and breadlines follow in the wake of Free-Trade as surely as thing for any country, the conditions in the greatest and most prosperous of all the countries that favor that policy must be ideal. Let us see what some noted Englishmen have had to say about the condition of the laboring classes in England. John Ruskin said: "Though England is deafened with spinning wheels, her people have not clothes; though she is black with the digging of fuel, they die of cold." John Bright said: "Nearly one-third of the whole people dwell in homes of only one room." John Morley said: "Nearly one-half of the persons who reach the age of sixty are or have been paupers." This testimony on the workings of Free-Trade ought to convince the most skeptical. We could multiply the evidence indefinitely, and along the same line. Free-Trade always tends to produce low wages. When low wages do not come under Free-Trade it is because of some other influence that nullifies its baneful influence, just as the late war has done, by creating new industries and, at the same time, a shortage of labor. Every time a workingman casts his ballot for the party of Free-Trade, he votes to lessen his chances for employment and to lower his daily wage; he is voting for the breadlines; he is voting for economic and industrial suicide.

The far has shown r IN THE OIL FIELD (From Brea Progress) The bringing in of a 4000-barrel well, the location of five new wells, and over a hundred wells drilling are some of the factors that are making the oil industry the leading activity in Southern California for April. Oil operators are making some great development history in all the fields. Wildcattling is at its greatest height since the industry started over thirty years ago, and all the wildcat wells are looking so promising that a great acreage will be added to an already productive field before the end of the year. The General Petroleum is the latest addition to the develops of the new field opened up by the Chapman well. On property known as the Wilkins tract or Yorba Group 3-1, the General Petroleum have started drilling and at 200 feet ran into gravel and boulders. On the Yorba well the Amalgamated is making good drilling time. In a couple of weeks drilling 1324 feet of hole was drilled. However, at the present conglomerate has been struck and the drilling will be slow until the formation changes. BANKS APPLY Financial Institutions As Our The banks of All labors of the Liberty Loan were each of their depositors asking without waiting for the compe appeal Anaheim will have it who work without pay, will donating three or four week reads as follows: IMPORTANT NOTICE To Our Depositors: I would like you not only interest me standpoint of fairness and widespread want. We said that soup houses and bread lines would be the result. They quickly came, the Free-Trade New York Times, alone, feeding thousands day after day, says the American Economist. What made breadlines necessary? Unemployment. What made unemployment? Free-Trade. Unemployment, want and breadlines follow in the wake of Free-Trade as surely as night follows day. We were not guessing when we predicted that breadlines would soon again be the order of the day as the result of the ending of the war and the throwing of thousands who had been engaged in munition factories, and other activities growing out of the war, out of employment. The war had operated to shut out foreign made goods and had created an unprecedented demand for war supplies. Hence the war operated to Protect American labor from the competition of foreign labor and, at the same time created new activities, new sources of employment. But, with the return of peace, the abnormal demand must necessarily cease and labor must return to its normal activities. The employer of labor, be he manufacturer or other producer, knows full well that he will soon be in active competition with the product of underpaid foreign labor, without the Protection that would be afforded by an adequate Protective Tariff. Under Free-Trade what encouragement has he to remodel his munition plants into factories for the manufacture of peace-time goods? No one knows the conditions in Germany. No one knows what products she may hold in reserve in her warehouses. This everyone knows, that Germany will bend all her energies toward regaining her former commercial supremacy, her hold on foreign trade. Everyone knows that she will cut and slash in the matter of prices and other concessions in the hope of driving her commercial rivals to the wall. Everyone knows that Japan will sell us all she can and at very much under the cost of production in this country. The war is lover and we have returned to a Free-Trade basis. The employer sees no hope but in a Protective Tariff and for that he must wait. The laborer must also wait, for his employment depends upon Protection. Hence we predicted breadlines, and they are here and daily growing longer. Lest some may say that the breadlines do not result from Free-Trade... one knows that Japan will sell us all she can and at very much under the cost of production in this country. The war is lover and we have returned to a Free-Trade basis. The employer sees no hope but in a Protective Tariff and for that he must wait. The laborer must also wait, for his employment depends upon Protection. Hence we predicted breadlines, and they are here and daily growing longer. Lest some may say that the breadlines do not result from Free-Trade, we need only to point to history. Hundreds of thousands now living remember the breadlines and souphouses during the Free-Trade period of Cleveland's administration. But let us go farther back. The New York Tribune of January 15, 1855, contained the following: "Go and see thousands, men and women, boys and girls, old and young, black and white, of all nations, crowding and jostling each other, almost fighting for a first chance, acting more like hungry wolves than human beings, in a land of plenty, waiting till food is ready for distribution. Such a scene may be seen every day between 11 and 2 o'clock around the corner of Orange and Chatham streets, where charity gives a dinner to the poor, and soup and bread to others to carry home to their miserable families. In the sixth ward alone over six thousand persons were fed by charity on Saturday, January 13." That was a "Black Friday," indeed, and all due to what? To "the blight of Free-Trade." Free-Trade operates the same every time everywhere. England is the most notable Free-Trade country. Let us see how Free-Trade has operated there. Naturally, if it is so good a ANAHEIM GAZETTE On the Ibbotson property, south of the Standard's producing wells on the Kramer, the Amalgamated has drilled to a depth of 2475 feet without a showing of oil. The Standard's Kramer distance is comparatively short between the two properties, and shows wells showed the sand at 2300. The that the oil sands dip deep to the southward. On the Bradford Ranch the Petroleum Development Company (Santa Fe) has started drilling. On the Joaquin property a rig is being erected and work on three other nearby locations has started. The petroleum Development Company it seems is bent on getting its share of the big things in the new Chapman field. Heaving sand struck at 2100 feet threatened disaster to the Fullerton Oil Company's Travis well. For several days no progress could be made with the sand heaving up into the well and filling it up faster than the tools could remove it. However, the well was mudded up and the drilling was able to continue. At 2150 feet, the present depth, the well is looking very encouraging and should be the next well to come in in this new field. Two weeks of drilling and 1200 feet of hole is the record made by the Standard at Kramer 2-1, across from the Union's Chapman well. A peculiar fact has developed in connection with the formation found in this well as compared to the Chapman. The Union well struck the hard conglomerate at 200 feet, more at 400 and 700 the formation continued without a break to 2000 feet. The Standard well thus far has shown no real hard conglomerate. ITALIAN OPINION OF OUR PRESIDENT The following leading article in the Tribuna is an example of a good deal ofthe press criticism directed against President Wilson's course in the Paris conference: "It is useless to create illusions. Nothing serious nor lasting nothing true nor just can come out of the Paris conference dominated and directed by the thought and will of only one man. "He is a man moreover who lives in a world of abstractions, a man of good will, but too simple for a world so complicated as the old world; a man knowing so little about European affairs that he becomes acquainted with them only from time to time through experts—as for example concerning the Adriatic question which touches us so directly. "Wilson is a man who has not even the power to insure the ratification of his ideas and acts in America, even by his own party. We think with horror that so much young Italian blood may have been shed in vain through Wilson's wrong conception of Italian history or through the errors of the experts consulted by him." "This has been the busiest winter in the eight years I have been the Orange county representative at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce," declared D. W. McDannald, publicity lecturer for the county. People have come to California, some because they wanted to come and could afford to come this year for the first time and some have come because they couldn't go to Europe. A great many decided to remain. Just what per cent found the land of heart's desire in Orange." Two weeks of drilling and 1200 feet of hole is the record made by the Standard at Kramer 2-1, across from the Union's Chapman well. A peculiar fact has developed in connection with the formation found in this well as compared to the Chapman. The Union well struck the hard conglomerate at 200 feet, more at 400 and 700 the formation continued without a break to 2000 feet. The Standard well thus far has shown no real hard conglomerate. The formation for the most part has been a very hard sand, with occasionally boulders. So eager are farmers and land owners holding property a mile or so out east beyond the Chapman well to have their property developed that it is possible to get leases now without paying enormous bonuses, and for the most part it is not necessary to pay bonuses at all. During the past week many of the large and substantial operator such as the Standard, Union, Amalgamated, Columbia and Brea Canyon have been offered properties the only condition being that drilling commence at once. This new turn of the bonus situation will assist further development considerably, as many of the land owners holding distant and very doubtful lands were asking such high prices that drilling was almost prohibitive. In the first legal battle over the estate of William Schulte, the widow, Mrs. Emma Schulte was the loser. She brought an action against the executors of the estate for the possession of an automobile and some other property, altogether worth about $1600. She asserted that the property belonged to her. The decision of the court was that it belongs to the estate. Emil Heying visited at Laguna and other beach points Friday. The Sew-Sew Club met at the home of Mrs. O. H. Renner Wednesday and were pleasantly entertained by the hostess during the afternoon. J. L. Swope, who is now a theatre manager in Hollywood, was visiting friends here Friday. Thursday morning Judge Williams placed Joe Marsias on probation. Marsias pleaded guilty to embezzling a motorcycle sold to him on a lease contract by W. H. Boone of Anaheim. Marsias is to pay the remainder due upon the motorcycle. His reputation as a worker was shown to be good. Mr. and Mrs. Ben Stroup spent Sunday in Long Beach. Banks Appeal to Depositors All Institutions Ask Co-Operation of Their Patrons in Subscribing Our Quota of the Victory Loan The banks of Anaheim have evolved a plan which will make the strenuous Liberty Loan workers easier. They are making a direct personal appeal to their depositors asking them to come to the bank and make their subscriptions, waiting for the committee to solicit them. If every person should heed this Anaheim will have its quota subscribed in a short time, and the committeemen, without pay, will be saved the necessity of neglecting their business and three or four weeks' hard labor to the cause. The letter issued by the banks follows: April 21, 1919. NOTICE Our Depositors: I would like to call your attention to a matter that I believe is only interest you, but as a customer of this bank, and from the point of fairness as well, will enlist your co-operation. If for NOTICE Our Depositors: I would like to call your attention to a matter that I believe is only interest you, but as a customer of this bank, and from the point of fairness as well, will enlist your co-operation. If for on our suggestion should not meet with your approval, then it unnecessary for the Liberty Loan workers to solicit you as before. You no doubt know that the quotas for the Victory Liberty Loan have been carefully worked out by the Government from the standpoint of fairness as well, the idea being that each will take care of its own customers' requirements for bonds. Now, the situation which confronts us is this. When the Liberty Loan campaign is on, all of us are solicited to buy bonds, and inasmuch as the banks are handling the bond sales without compensation, one must as well step in and subscribe at the bank with which he keeps account. When a little thought is given to the subject, one sees how government has planned for each bank's customers to finally receive bonds from their own institution, thus absorbing the quotas allot--particular bank. If you should purchase your bonds through an bank, you would merely aid in over-subscribing their quota, leaving rears of ours just to that extent. It is merely as a matter of co-operation with a plan that has thoroughly worked out that I call this subject to your attention. Finally applied, it will make each locality and each bank therein the Victory Loan business that rightfully belongs to it. The idea is your bonds at the bank personally or by mail, and early--not later Saturday, April 26th, but be particular in your own case to payment and delivery through your local Bank, because none of its customers. For your convenience an application blank with enclosed, which please fill out, sign and return in the ad-stamped envelope. Remember that until our debts are paid, and brought home and demobilized, the job yet remains to be finet's finish it right! Uncle Sam is counting on every one of us.

England and France forbid the sale of baking powder containing alum. You can tell whether baking powder contains alum by reading the label. ROYAL Baking Powder Absolutely Pure Royal Contains No Alum— Leaves No Bitter Taste Absolutely Pure Royal Contains No Alum— Leaves No Bitter Taste Laurence F. Arnold was granted a divorce from his wife, Lucile Arnold, at Los Angeles Wednesday. Mrs. Arnold was formerly Miss Lucile Krause of this city, the couple having married without consulting their friends on Dec. 4, 1917. She left her husband six weeks after their marriage on the ground, she said, that separation was necessary for the happiness of both, leaving a note pinned to her husband's pillow, which read as follows: "It is no use going on as we have and ruin both our lives. I am leaving you. It has taken me quite a while to come to this conclusion, but it seems to be the only thing to do. This decision is final, so do not attempt to persuade me to return."
