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 RESTRAINT GOING The conduct of the American people in their social life and pleasures, throughout the war, was marked by much less of the display of extravagance and vulgarity which usually attend war and war excitement. In fact, there was, on the whole, extraordinary patience, as well as obedience or self-denial and in cultivating habits of economy and thrift, among all kinds of men and women. But with the war at an end, it is now beginning to look as if we are entering a period which is going to be one of the flushest in the spending of money that this country has ever known and in the gratification of expensive social ambitions. The great and almost wild course of speculation which has been prevailing in Wall street for several weeks is the almost sure sign of the coming of a like outburst of the feverish sort of ostentation which has been comparatively out of fashion in the last two years, but which is the inevitable sequel of profiteering and rapid money-making in speculation and in booms of the get-rich-quick sort. The reaction to the spirit of social splurge will be a pretty hard one to regulate or head off, but it is plainly on its way, and when peace is finally regard importations of articles that can be produced here as 'unfair' to American producers. We should prevent such unfair competition by imposing an import duty at least equal to the difference in cost of production here and in the country of lowest cost of production provided the latter country sells to us a quantity sufficient to be a menace to our home industry. But the rate of duty, the time and manner of its establishment, should be fixed by law so that every person interested may have equal knowledge of the proposed action and the time when it is to become effective. The rights of importers and producers should be fixed by law and not be subject to the varying discretion of a president, especially one who believes in the removal of all economic barriers. This discussion has dealt with the subject wholly from the standpoint of governmental policy. As a matter of constitutional law it is doubtful whether any pretext could be devised that would sustain even technically a delegation of power to the President to fix import duties. BEAN JUICE PRODUCES WILD INTOXICATION Has All the Properties of Prohibition Whiskey It Is Claimed. Nation-wide attention was recently called to the intoxicating effects of the peyote bean when Mrs. Gertrude Bonin, a noted welfare worker among the Indians of Oklahoma, appeared before the Anti-Saloon League at its convention in Washington and made a plea for the enactment of a law that would take this narcotic out of reach of the redmen. From time immemorial peyote beans cussed in awed voice on the border. Norman chap.

UNEXPLORATION How many of us one portion of them that, thus far, has by the white man most as little known was on the day thence on American soil so great in area, wild. If this region hinterland, along of the Andes, it was markable that it known. But our when we learn thence the northeast cur continent—South known land is this Guiana. The country covers miles and a population 300,000, an average persons to the square part of the pop in Georgetown, the other ports along in the lower port in Wall street for several weeks is the almost sure sign of the coming of a like outburst of the feverish sort of ostentation which has been comparatively out of fashion in the last two years, but which is the inevitable sequel of profiteering and rapid money-making in speculation and in booms of the get-rich-quick sort. The reaction to the spirit of social splurge will be a pretty hard one to regulate or head off, but it is plainly on its way, and when peace is finally declared, it may exceed anything of its kind that has ever broken out among Americans in showing off their wealth in the rivalries and the tomfooleries of the social "swim." $300,000,000 SAVED When Democrats charged Republicans with responsibility for defeating certain legislation in the last session of the 65th Congress, they little realized that they were heaping commendations upon the Republican side of the national legislative body. The military bill as passed by the House in the last session carried appropriations to the amount of $1,117,000,000. The bill failed in the Senate. As reported in the House by the Republicans in the present session, the bill carries only about $800,000,000, a saving of more than $300,000,000, or about 28 per cent. The saving on this bill alone will amount to $3 for every man, woman and child in the country, or an average of $15 per family. Cutting down the military expense will also make more men available for civilian employment, thus overcoming to that extent the labor shortage throughout the country. The bill was reported by Representative Kahn, of California, chairman of the military committee. TARIFFS A LEGISLATIVE PROBLEM A member of the U. S. Tariff Commission advocates a law which will authorize the President to levy proclamation additional duties on goods which are being systematically dumped into the United States, or to prohibit their importation in case he has reason to believe that the result will be to injure, destroy or prevent the establishment of an American industry. There you have one more illustration of the grasping ambition of bureaucracy. More power, is the limit- Whiskey It is Claimed. Nation-wide attention was recently called to the intoxicating effects of the peyote bean when Mrs. Gertrude Bonin, a noted welfare worker among the Indians of Oklahoma, appeared before the Anti-Saloon League at its convention in Washington and made a plea for the enactment of a law that would take this narcotic out of reach of the redmen. From time immemorial peyote beans have been greatly sought for and highly treasured by American Indians. The fact that the territory in which the wild cactus grows that produces this bean is confined to a limited area around Encinal, bordering the Rio Grande, has caused Indians to make annual pilgrimages there to lay in a supply of the product as long back as the early settlers of this region can remember. In the early days representatives of the different tribes would make the long overland trip on horseback from their northern haunts to the peyote thickets and there gather with their own hands a sufficient quantity of beans to run the braves of their respective tribes through the ensuing twelve months. With the settling up of this border country the knowledge that the beans were in demand by the Indians caused local merchants of Encinal and Laredo to lay in large supplies of them each season. For a time the practice of openly shipping the product to the Indians was carried on. Several years ago government Indian agents discovered that the Indians, especially members of the blanket tribes, were wont to go on periodical and maniacal sprees. The cause of these cases of intoxication was finally traced to the peyote bean. Up to that time the Indians had maintained that they used the beans in certain tribal rites. With the discovery that it was the source of the wildest kind of intoxication, the government placed a ban on the sale or shipment of the beans. It was then that the Indians resumed their old practice of making personal pilgrimages to the cactus fields where they gathered their own and the tribes' supply of beans. It is claimed that no more powerful intoxicant exists than the peyote bean. One bean, when chewed, will produce a state of drunkenness that has no counterpart in all of the many varieties of inebriety.

There you have one more illustration of the grasping ambition of bureaucracy. More power, is the limitless desire, 'Leave it to me,' is bureaucracy's motto. Personal government, is the ideal. Government by law is not even a last resort. Just think of the possibilities of a broad creation of discretion such as that proposed! Certain commodities are shipped in large quantities into this country. Persons interested as manufacturers of the same commodities ask for a proclamation against the importations. The importers oppose the issuance of a ban. Speculators lay in a supply of the goods imported at low prices and suddenly the country is taken by surprise by issuance of a prohibition order that shuts out further importations, increases the value of goods already brought in, makes fortunes for those who bought up the supply, and starts rumors as to some one having an advance tip as to the best time to buy, in what quantities, what commodities, and at what prices. People who remember the rumors of fortunes made in the stock market a few years back by men who got an early tip off a Presidential note, will see the danger of repitation of incidents that tend to shake confidence in government. Creating opportunities for that sort of thing is hardly the part of wisdom. The proper policy for America is to ANAHEIM GAZETTE HYDRO - CY CITRUS FRUIT GROWER THAT The Roessler & Hasslacher Chemical Co. is the owner of The Pacific R. & H.

The census of 1914 found only 25,867,000 when we learn that this land lies in the northeast curve of the southern continent—South America. This unknown land is the interior of British Guiana. The country contains 104,000 square miles and a population estimated at 300,000, an average of less than three persons to the square mile. The greater part of the population is assembled in Georgetown, the capital, and in other ports along the coast, as well as in the lower ports along the reaches of the Demerara, Berbice and Essequibo rivers, the principal streams of the country. Near the coast are found the Carib Indians, who are comparatively friendly with the white man; but in the interior roam the Tarumas and the Atoradis, warlike and crafty. In the early Spanish days, during the hunt for El Dorado, several expeditions proceeded through what is now British Guana. Somewhere in the deep forests the bones of the Spaniards lie. The gold seekers were never heard of after they disappeared up the slopes near the sea. It was believed, when Great Britain took possession about a century ago, that the country would be explored and opened to settlement, but comparatively little has been accomplished. Explorers, taking their lives in their hands, have penetrated some distance into the interior, but beyond a certain dim, undefined line, they die. Nothing is known of the vast, silent forests of the interior. POINTED PARAGRAPHS President Wilson says the Versailles treaty satisfies his fourteen points. Good thing those fourteen points were designed, like the old fashioned Mother Huggard dress, to "cover everything and touch nothing." Henry Ford says competition is abnormal and undesirable. Yet everybody knows that except for the hope of successful competition with higher priced automobiles there would never have been a Ford automobile and Henry Ford would never have got the idea that making a fortune as an automobile manufacturer made him a statesman too. Speaker Frederick Gillett publicly expressed the opinion that Mexico ought to quit raising hell and go to raising food: quit playing politics all the time and go to work. This has raised quite a storm. UNITED STATES SECOND IN EXPORTING BEEF Big Increase in Cattle During the Past Year. Argentina, the United States and Australia, in the order given, are the chief beef-exporting countries of the world, and Uruguay and New Zealand are of large, though of secondary importance, while Brazil has started beef production and export that will assume enormous proportions if expectations are realized. These facts are shown in figures of the Bureau of Crop Estimates, United States Department of Agriculture. The United States was far in the lead as an exporter of beef for many years, until the beef-producing resources of Argentina began to be utilized systematically. By 1909 Argentina took precedence in exports, although it had temporarily held it in 1903. While the beef exports of the United States were seriously declining from 1911 to 1914, until in the latter year they were less than the imports, Australia stepped ahead of this country as a beef producer and held second place, after Argentina, until 1915. The beef exports of the United States reached a summit of 731,000 pounds in the fiscal year beginning in 1906, and there was only a trace of imports. A downhill course followed and by the calendar year 1914, the imports exceeded the exports by 93,000,000 pounds. In that year the imports were 259,000,000 pounds, but in subsequent years beef imports have been much less, although considerable, and they should be subtracted from the exports to arrive at the national beef surplus. This surplus, including a share of the unidentified meat, quickly rose to 425,000,000 pounds in 1915, was considerably below this quantity in the two following years, and expanded to 766,000,000 pounds in 1918, overtopping the highest previous year, 1906, by 35,000,000 pounds. The gross exports of domestic beef in 1918 were about 800,000,000 pounds. ty exceeded 29,124,000 head, according to the census report for 1908. The census of 1914 found only 25,867,000 cattle, and the estimate for 1918 is 27,050,000 cattle. In Australia the number of cattle has ranged from about 9,000,000 to 12,000,000 head during the last nineteen years and in the more recent years has remained at 10,000,000 to 11,000,000 head. It is apparent from the foregoing figures that increase of cattle in these three countries is a matter of some difficulty. A promising progression for a few years has been followed by a reversion, and this again by a progression, but in each of these countries the present number of cattle bare-tries the present number of cattle bare-years ago, and yet the average yearly exports of beef from these countries (above imports for the United States) increased from 925,000,000 pounds in 1935-1940 to 1,344,000,000 pounds in 1955-1914, and to 1,909,000,000 pounds in 1915-1917. Gain of beef exports without corresponding gain in number of cattle on hand has been made possible by a more rapid turnover by means of slaughtering at younger ages, by a breeding-up process, resulting in heavier, beefy animals, and by more intensive feeding. THE NEW FORCE These young Americans who were a part of the great war now ended, and who have returned to their homes or who are soon to do so, from abroad and from the ranks here, are forming themselves into an organization that may be likened to the Grand Army of the Republic, whose ranks are now fast thinning. It was, of course, inevitable that such an organization should come into being, and it is easy to foresee that it will become the greatest force existent in the public life of our country for many years to come. We do not say that this organization will enter politics as a party or as a part of any party, or that it will seek priced automobiles there would never have been a Ford automobile and Henry Ford would never have got the idea that making a fortune as an automobile manufacturer made him a statesman too. Speaker Frederick Gillett publicly expressed the opinion that Mexico ought to quit raising hell and go to raising food: quit playing politics all the time and go to work. This has raised quite a storm. What a sensation it creates when a man in public life tells the real truth. During the brief period of government operation of telegraphs a deficit of a million dollars was created. The results of political control of industry are three: First, increased rates; second, inferior service; third, deficits to be paid by the people for the proud privilege of paying more and getting less than under private management. One of the pleasantest affairs enjoyed for many a day was the barbecue given by the Anaheim Elks at Orange County Park Thursday night. There were three hundred persons in the party, which was composed of Elks, their families and a number of particular friends. The party was entertained with an excellent program, consisting of music and various stunts, but chief interest centered in the eats. The cuisine was in charge of chefs Joe Stroup and Joe Wagner, assisted by such artists in the culinary line as Billy Knott, Frank Mauer, Orris Mullinix, Morris Martenet and Al Pape. It was an enjoyable affair in the estimation of every person privileged to be present, and the cooks gained an undying reputation. Argentina had forged steadily ahead and permanently passed the United States in exports of beef in 1909, in which year the Argentina exports amounted to 621,000,000 pounds. By 1917 this quantity was more than doubled, and the record of that year stands at 1,334,000,000 pounds, including the meat unidentified in the trade report. As far back as 1895 Argentina exported 250,000,000 pounds of beef, but the subsequent exports were much below this until 1910, when 252,000,000 pounds were exported. The quantity rose to 491,000,000 pounds in 1915 and is reported as 165,000,000 pounds in 1916 and 341,000,000 pounds in 1917. Beef exports in these three countries are not uniformly related to the number of cattle supposed to be on hand, either by census enumeration or by estimate. In the United States there were 51,000,000 cattle on farms on June 1 in the census year 1890, 68,000,000 cattle in 1900, and 62,000,000 cattle on April 15, 1910. At the low tide of 1913 and 1914 the cattle numbered but 56,500,000, as estimated by the Bureau of Crop Estimates, but recovery followed to 68,000,000 cattle in 1919, equalling the record for 1900. Argentina cattle never with certain- themselves into an organization that may be likened to the Grand Army of the Republic, whose ranks are now fast thinning. It was, of course, inevitable that such an organization should come into being, and it is easy to foresee that it will become the greatest force existent in the public life of our country for many years to come. We do not say that this organization will enter politics as a party or as a part of any party, or that it will seek to dictate public policies. But that no public party can get by during the next generation without the approval of this organization there cannot be the slightest doubt. These young men are now bound together in a common tie that has back of their union the most tremendous memories that could possibly be imagined. Thousands of them have had the most profound experiences of both life and death, and all of them went forth and stood ready to make the supreme sacrifice for liberty. In the two years of their experiences in the army and navy of this republic these young fellows have been trained to a common mode of thought. They have been trained to common ideals and common ideas. When they are welded into one compact, working organization they will act and move as an army moves, under orders and with discipline. The man or woman who seeks office in the future in any town, county or State, or whoever it may be who seeks national office, must pass muster before this new force. And the acts of all who legislate in this nation will find themselves held promptly and sternly to account.

He was taking it to Newport Beach he said. The court bound him over in the sum of $500.
