BISBY WILL LEAD HARBOR BOND CAMPAIGN ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE PREPARING TO MAKE WARM FIGHT FOR HARBOR PROJECT Many Speakers Tell of Advantages Accruing to County by Establishment of Terminal—Committees for Coming Year Announced. Although various subjects of importance were mentioned at the meeting of the associated chambers of commerce at the Oyster Loaf cafe last Wednesday evening, chief interest centered in the harbor bond proposition. In fact, practically the entire evening was given to a discussion of this matter, which appears to be the paramount question before the people of Orange County. Numerous speeches were made favoring the bonds, but not a single voice was raised against the harbor. "Every live community in Orange county is interested in terminal rates," declared Postmaster J. Frederick Ahlborn. "Without terminal rates it will be impossible to get manufacturing enterprises in Anaheim or any other place in Orange county where such enterprises have to come into competition with terminal rates available at Los Angeles and San Pedro. new president, D.

"Every live community in Orange county is interested in terminal rates," declared Postmaster J. Frederick Ahlborn. "Without terminal rates it will be impossible to get manufacturing enterprises in Anaheim or any other place in Orange county where such enterprises have to come into competition with terminal rates available at Los Angeles and San Pedro. "I know this from experience. When I was secretary of the Board of Trade we had many opportunities to locate factories here and we lost them because we did not have terminal rates. I believe if we get the harbor and terminal rates every section of the county will benefit by the location of manufacturing enterprises. Living and labor conditions in the smaller community are superior to those in the larger, and given an equal chance with Los Angeles and other Southern California cities having terminal rates, the county will get her share of the new industries that are seeking openings in Southern California." T. B. Talbert, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, said that the small tax on the bonds would not be felt, and that in time it would be more than offset by increased valuations at the harbor, through advance of land values and the establishment of industrial plants. The tax on the $100 valuation will be 5 cents the first year with gradual reductions as the bonds are retired. The assessed valuation this year is close to $100,000,000. A letter from Francis Cuttle, chairman of the Tri-Counties Reforestation committee, was read, in which he urged support of the bonds. "As soon as you have a harbor at Newport Bay that is recognized by the government as a harbor, it would be possible to get an appropriation from the Federal government as well as the state government for control of floods on the Santa Ana river," says Cuttle in his letter. "This plan has been followed by the county of Los Angeles and the legislature of 1917 declared its intention of appropriating $1,080,000 to co-operate with the Federal government and the county of Los Angeles for the control of flood waters upon rivers flowing into San Pedro harbor and the state actually made an appropriation of a quarter of a million dollars."

The address of welcome was delivered by Rev. G. R. Messias and the response was by A. S. Bradford of Placentia. THE ONE HOPE OF AMERICA'S SALVATION One of the little matters overlooked by publicists with universal plans for the division of net earnings in industry between capital and labor is that there are some bonanza businesses, like Henry Ford's, in which every wage earner under the arrangement would quickly become a capitalist, if the sharing were fully made; there are others moderately profitable; there are many in which the profits are negligible; many in which there are small losses; many in which the losses are large. The system proposed would deprive small or struggling enterprises, which might later develop into successful undertakings, of existence, because no wage earner is going to share losses, or be satisfied with negligible or slight profits under a system in which employees of more favorably situated concerns would profit much more, perhaps without relation to the comparative value of service rendered. It is a wise and patriotic policy for the owners of a prospering business to let their employees in on a share of the earnings. The adoption of such a policy by a concern which is in a stage of its development where it is losing money would not be so much appreciated. It is a wise and patriotic policy for a well established, going concern to invite employees to take a hand in the management. What would be the effect of such a policy on the part of an enterprise which, in the hope that in the long run a paying proposition may be developed, takes the penalty of losses and accepts the possibility of ruin? Take the case of fifty gold mines in a given region of Colorado. One of them takes out gold in great quantities; others are on a moderately probable laws providing for and conditions and applications, housing, sanitation, housing, sanitation like. It can pass mine labor to develop police and stabilize the field investment in farm and construction. The best system ever devised profits do not at all when there is condition of industrial consequence unemployed such a condition break legal safeguards surrounding in life and death ensues in the industry such circumstances as called in connection tariff law of 1894, and Underwood tariff law ning to manifest itself and soup kitchens be pean war came to the summer of 1914. The employer of heartless disregard of his employees is then than the rule, although have been taught cent years that they retain an industrial enemy. He knows better that his industry better asset than contented and ambitious co-operating with these efficient production. Industrial concerns have inaugurated work of various types. Porations have proved more heartless than individual in their humiliates there is a large fleet in the betterment of employment. And surer guarantee than occupied than the conditions in the enable business entered with some degree owing better calculate spread unemployment to the workers than agogical assault on advocacy and adopt confiscation directed and commerce by doctrinalaires. You can't divide there is no prosperity you can't have provisions surrounding ment and operation Cuttle in his letter. "This plan has been followed by the county of Los Angeles and the legislature of 1917 declared its intention of appropriating $1,080,000 to co-operate with the Federal government and the county of Los Angeles for the control of flood waters upon rivers flowing into San Pedro harbor and the state actually made an appropriation of a quarter of a million dollars." "My point is this, that if the county of Orange takes the initiative and votes these bonds, it also is vitally interested in flood control and after the harbor is actually recognized, the counties of San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange could join together and make a strong fight for both state and Federal funds on the ground that that is their outlet for their products. "You know that up to date the Federal government has never appropriated any money for flood control on any watershed, excepting on the ground of protecting navigation, either in the rivers over which it has control at the harbors in the months of such rivers." Cuttle has been one of the most active men in Southern California in flood control. He has been in Washington frequently on control matters and knows under what conditions assistance of the government may be expected. R. L. Bisby of Santa Ana, chairman of the Victory Loan committee, was chosen to take charge of the campaign and lead the proponents of the harbor to victory. Bisby is one of the best organizers, campaigners and fighters in the county, and his selection as manager was a wise move.

The best system of labor laws ever devised profits the wage earner not at all when there is a widespread condition of industrial stagnation and consequent unemployment. In fact such a condition breaks down even the legal safeguards surrounding the worker in the life and death struggle which ensues in the industrial world under such circumstances as are readily recalled in connection with the Wilson tariff law of 1894, and the Simmons-Underwood tariff law as it was beginning to manifest itself in bread lines and soup kitchens before the European war came to the rescue in mid-summer of 1914. The employer of labor who has a heartless disregard of the welfare of his employees is the exception rather than the rule, although people generally have been taught to believe in recent years that the man who maintains an industrial payroll is a public enemy. He knows better than anyone else that his industry can have no better asset than comfortable, contented and ambitious wage earners co-operating with the management for efficient production. Thousands of the industrial concerns of the country have inaugurated welfare movements of various types. The industrial corporations have proved themselves not more heartless than the average individual in their human relationships. There is a large field to be occupied in the betterment of the conditions of employment. And there could be no surer guarantee that it will be fully occupied than the establishment of conditions in the country which will enable business enterprise to go ahead with some degree of confidence; nothing better calculated to bring widespread unemployment and privation to the workers than the constant demagogical assault on business, and the advocacy and adoption of schemes of confiscation directed against industry and commerce by demagogues and doctrinalaires. You can't divide prosperity when there is no prosperity to divide. And you can't have prosperity if the conditions surrounding industrial investment and operation are made so difficult. CAPONS PROFITABLE The practice of caponizing brings about several great benefits to mankind: Worthless and expensive cockerels are eliminated, with a saving of thousands of dollars to the State. Oregon estimates the loss entailed in keeping cockerels with the flocks at $650,000 annually. Less fertile eggs are marketed; there is greater return for the feed consumed; the flocks remain in better condition. Millions of pounds of the best and most nutritious meat is added to the nation's larder, and peace and quiet reign in the poultry yard. The tendency is, then, for greater poultry production in the cities and consequently an increase in more ways than one in the nation's food supply. Capons are in a class by themselves when it comes to raising chicks, for no chick can be lost, strayed or stolen when a capoon is in charge of them. He can and will bring up the chicks while the hen returns to the business of laying. It has been demonstrated that a capoon, because of his strength and vigor, quiet content and gentle manners, imparts more vitality to a brood than either a hen or a brooder. Here is George Beuoy's method of handling capons which are to be used for raising chicks. Place the capon in a small yard containing a coop and keep him there for a few days before giving him the chicks. As the coop has no perch, the bird will sit on the floor. When he has become accustomed to his quarters, take the chicks to him late in the evening and place them under his wings, talking to him in a soothing voice. Next morning, be up early to ascertain how he is acting. If he stands around one foot, as though in doubt, and seems confused as to his duties, take the chicks all away and try again the next night. By the second morning the most obstinate capon will be clucking and ready to fight for the brood.—Mrs. H. Ament. The smoke of tax collecting has now about cleared away, and as Collector J. C.

And you can't have prosperity if the conditions surrounding industrial investment and operation are made so difficult and hazardous that no man in his right mind is going to enter into it, with the assurance that he will be damned and mulcted without mercy if he succeeds, and that nobody will sympathize with him if he fails. If only these problems could be approached with patriotic common sense rather than with demagogical devices for vote catching, entirely without thought of the effect of the policy proposed upon the welfare either of enterprise or labor! The country has already suffered heavily from many policies put in operation in the name of the people's good, but which have operated to the oppression and impoverishment of the people and the promotion of profiteering. The Democratic politicians came into power cursing the plutocrats and in five years twice as many millionaires have been created in this country as in the half century of Republican rule preceding. It isn't the label on the bottle that counts in these matters; it's what's in the bottle. We confront many great problems in this country, and not one of them will be solved to the betterment of conditions by the demagogues or the theory spinning doctrinales.

Probably the majority of the delinquents are those living outside the county, and many of them were given or purchased lots in visionary projects similar to the Arch Beach Heights affair. Then there are some local people delinquent whose delay in tax payment is not yet accounted for. A point which should be borne in mind by taxpayers is that their taxes are not paid until the Collector's office has the money, and merely placing their checks in the mails does not pay taxes. In the past there have been several instances where bank accounts were attached, or there were not sufficient funds in the account, so that when Collector Lamb presented the checks at the bank they were not honored. During the investigations which followed, the taxes in question became delinquent. People who are inclined to be pevish because they are compelled to pay an income tax should take consolation in the fact that they are better off than the man who don't pay it.

FACTORY TO FUMIGATOR It is intended that Hydro-Cy will be transported by company trucks from the factory direct to the fumigator in any part of the citrus district. This is a feature of the business which will meet with general approval. Mr. Herbert Gillis, special representative of The R. & H. Chemical Corporation of New York, is now in Southern California, and will soon visit all citrus growing districts and call on growers, fumigators and others interested in this business, to learn what is needed and then arrange for ways and means to meet every requirement. The new corporation will have F. W. Draun as its vice-president and directing head together with F. A. Kaufmann as manager. J. D. Neuls will continue as a field representative. PRESIDENT IS ASSAILED FOR FOREIGN ALLIANCE Secret Agreement to Go to the Aid of France In Any Future War is Received With Alarm. Much criticism has been directed against President Wilson by members of Congress because of his reported willingness at Versailles to pledge the United States to an alliance with Great Britain and France to go to the aid of the latter in any future war; in direct violation of the long established and traditional policy of Washington. Not only is this further departure in the direction of participation by this country in the affairs of Europe considered unwise but it is regarded as an indication of lack of faith by the President himself in the efficiency of SIGNIFICANT CHANGE FOR ORCHARD FUMIGATION New Appliance Perfected Conducts Chemical from Container to Field "Applicator" without Pouring or Diffusion in the Air—Removes Danger and Sickness—Corporation for Making Material Formed with Factory in Los Angeles Ready to Supply on June 15th. (From the Covina Argus) Eliminating at once the danger in application, and at the same time the discomfort from fumes, new appliances have been invented and perfected recently which will advance orchard fumigation one more step toward perfection. What seems to be an ideal method of application for hydrocyanic acid gas has been announced this week by Mr. F. W. Braun of Los Angeles. The Hydro-Cy "applicator" makes its debut into the business with the interesting statements about it that it is fool-proof, and that the method is a time-saver, a labor-saver, and therefore a money-saver. With the announcement of new appliances comes also the news that a complete factory is now under construction in Los Angeles at Ninth street, which will be ready by June 15 to supply fumigating material for all California needs. Machinery and equipment is ready to be installed for the making of what is known as Hydro-Cy, the name chosen by The Pacific R. & H. Chemical Corporation for its new product. The chemical product is in a sense new to the trade—the name of the corporation is a new one, and the manner of applying the chemical is new. But all three new departures are natural outgrowths of the business carried on by Mr. F. W. Braun, as coast representative for The R. & H. Chemical Corporation for many years, and means better service better business contact with growers and better material applied better than ever. This seems to be the consensus of opinion among fumigating experts who have been making a close study of the radical steps taking in the handling of this business. The new company will be ready to supply any demands long before the coming season opens. A liquid of standardized quality, guaranteed uniform in strength, is to be put out in packages that will insure safety in handling, and with a cleverly devised attachment for Congress because of his reported willingness at Versailles to pledge the United States to an alliance with Great Britain and France to go to the aid of the latter in any future war, in direct violation of the long established and traditional policy of Washington. Not only is this further departure in the direction of participation by this country in the affairs of Europe considered unwise, but it is regarded as an indication of lack of faith by the President himself in the efficiency of the proposed league of nations in preventing future conflicts. It is also thought to be a confession that, as amended, the authority of the league over those nations which have fought side by side against Germany and might now subscribe to it would be so general as to make imperative a more binding agreement between those States especially desiring to stand together. While this constitution of the league as amended is not surprising to the Senate, it is quite certain that it will make more determined the intention of the opponents of the covenant to at all hazards protect American sovereignty and rights, rather than barter them away for any idealistic conception which would not be able to withstand the continued competitive struggle of history. Japan's ambition to dominate the Pacific and control the trade of Eastern Asia, in direct antithesis to the aims of the United States is taken as an evidence of this, as is also England's control of a fourth of the territory and population of the globe and her desire to dominate the commerce of the entire world in conflict with the purpose of the United States to excel all nations in commercial development; not because the aims of this country are selfish, but because it means to be second to none. The American-British-French promise at Versailles is the basis of a desire on the part of many Democratic Senators to conduct the treaty debate in secret, in spite of the President's oft-repeated declaration in favor of "open covenants openly arrived at."

This seems to be the consensus of opinion among fumigating experts who have been making a close study of the radical steps taking in the handling of this business. The new company will be ready to supply any demands long before the coming season opens. A liquid of standardized quality, guaranteed uniform in strength, is to be put out in packages that will insure safety in handling, and with a cleverly devised attachment for the transferring of the Hydro-Cy from the shipping tanks to the tanks of the "applicators." Not only does the method do away with danger and sickening fumes, but it saves the liquid from evaporation. The new "applicator" is scientifically made to measure accurately and deliver correct dosages. It does not spray the liquid, thus doing away with the chance of burning the trees or fruit. Fifty-pound drums to contain Hydro-Cy are constructed of aluminum. Hundred pound drums are made of steel, lined with block tin. Experience has shown that these metals are the only ones entirely suitable to be used as containers. With the equipment invented for transferring the material from the container to the field applicator there is no open "pouring" operation, and therefore no danger to operator or loss. With the invention of these appliances passes, probably, for all time the hydrocyanic acid gas method as herefore in use for orchard fumigation. The Hydro-Cy is delivered under the tent in the form of vapor, which on contact with air immediately gassifies insuring a uniform diffusion. Every fumigator, it is expected, will heave a oft-repeated declaration in favor of "open covenants openly arrived at."

It is unlawful to attempt to collect a garage bill by force, and those making such attempt are guilty of battery, according to the decision of Justice J. B. Cox, who found George Esmay and Owen Fortson of Fullerton guilty of battery upon the person of C. C. Triplett. A $10 fine was assessed in each case, which was paid by Lillian Yeager, also a defendant, who was found not guilty. Testimony was to the effect that the defendants attempted to hold Triplett's car for his garage bill, and that Miss Yeager took the key to the car, also that Esmay and Fortson used force and violence upon Triplett, who, however, managed to start his car and drove away. Later through a civil suit the garage bill was paid. Attorney H. D. Thurber represented the defendants, with Deputy District Attorney W. F. Menton acting for the people. Yeaman Thrall, one of the soldier boys who was discharged with his regiment, the 364th, has been visiting with his sister, Mrs. Brooks, on North Olive street. A. J. Allec, of Placentia, a native of France, and Anton K. Dahl of Anaheim, a native of Norway, have filed petition for final citizenship papers.
