Anaheim Gazette ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuehel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter TIME TO CALL A HALT How often some leader boldly speaks of the danger of a revolution unless he receives what he is after! In congress recently, Glenn E. Plumb, author of the Plumb bill to turn over the railroads to the railroad workers, talked of a revolution. Arthur Brisbane, editorial writer for radical Hearst publications, declares the best paid men in the United States are the men who are making the most trouble. Those who need a boost and who are being ground into chaff in the row between capital and labor are those who are saying the least about it. If the railroad men and all union men don't look farther ahead than their noses, there will be a revolution in this country. And the men responsible for it will be the highest paid, the most prosperous class of workers civilization has ever known. This class is the skilled workers in all parts of the United States. They are already receiving much more than their share of the income present controversy between the executive and the Senate majority, Mr. Bell, a staff correspondent in London, has thrown light in a recent interesting cable. Mr. Bell found a natural reluctance on the part of the British officials to discuss the reservations issue. The exact meaning and implications of the four reservations recommended by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations are, perhaps, not quite clear in London, though the text of the reservations was shown by Mr. Bell to those interviewed by him. However, there is no evidence in British diplomatic circles of hostility to or undue suspicion of the proposed reservations, while among the London advocates of a league of nations it is conceded that there is nothing in the reservations to weaken the essential features of the covenant. Mr. Bell was assured by a prominent British supporter of the league that even the reservation affecting the famous Article 10, which provides for an economic boycott and even war as a means of checking territorial aggression, contains nothing that is not already understood since the American Constitution places in congress alone the authority to declare war. There is no reason whatever to suppose that sentiment in Paris or Rome is different or likely to be different after due discussion from the sentiment revealed to Mr. Bell in London. The general desire and anxiety to have America in the league are such that reasonable reservations, couched in proper language and offered in good faith for the purpose of informing could be persuasive and the Senate majority, Mr. Bell, a staff correspondent in London, has thrown light in a recent interesting cable.

And the men responsible for it will be the highest paid, the most prosperous class of workers civilization has ever known. This class is the skilled workers in all parts of the United States. They are already receiving much more than their share of the income of the country if it were divided up so much pro capita among the male adults. A revolution or Bolshevism or Socialism would pull down the skilled workmen to the common level of utter misery. Starvation would stalk through all the towns and the cities. There are still some inequalities to be smoothed out but if the skilled classes as a whole are successful in securing higher pay, our economic system will go to pot. A house of cards will have been erected and it will blow up. Look out for the farmers and the live stock raisers who are the strongest element in the county. They are more numerous than even organized labor. Consider what is happening. All livestock and farm products are falling in prices. But wages are mounting and the result is that the farmer must pay higher prices for everything he buys. If this continues the farmer is going to insist upon a lowering of the costs of the necessities he must purchase. Already the farmers are organizing; already their delegations are pouring into Washington. We have heard much about the proposed nationalization of the railroads and the mines. The time is approaching when congress will be beseeched to nationalize the farms; the farmers will demand a guaranteed price on wheat and corn and hogs and cattle. If we give everybody what is wanted there will soon be nothing left to give away. Some of those who say they are struggling for liberation from our present system of economic oppression may soon realize a freedom of no jobs, empty larders fireless stoves and hungry wives and children. Constitution places in congress alone the authority to declare war. There is no reason whatever to suppose that sentiment in Paris or Rome is different or likely to be different after due discussion from the sentiment revealed to Mr. Bell in London. The general desire and anxiety to have America in the league are such that reasonable reservations, couched in proper language and offered in good faith, for the purpose of safeguarding the sovereignty of the United States and preventing future misunderstanding and friction, will not be captiously or gratuitously opposed. If, then, the Senate and the executive will thrust aside irrelevant issues and get together on essential reservations, the allied governments and the intelligent public opinion back of them may be confidently expected to acquiesce in America's decision and welcome this county into the league on America's own fair and proper terms. MISFIT TARIFF SUGGESTIONS Naturally all the foreign countries which are debtors to the United States for loans amounting to $10,000,000,000 are in favor of paying their debts in commodities rather than in coin. No one can blame them for wanting to square accounts in trade rather than in cash. But is the United States to keep right on playing the fairy godmother to all creation? Having loaned billions of our money to the war-stricken nations of the rest of the world, must we now cancel the debts by taking from our debtors vast quantities of things which we do not need because we are making them for ourselves? That seems to be what our foreign friends and many of our domestic FreeTraders are trying to induce us to do. There is something that looks like a concerted effort, a sort of propaganda, to bring about the surrender of our own market to foreigners in order that the foreigners may discharge their financial obligation by sending us manufactured products. Think of it! Ten billion dollars' worth of goods which we don't need, in return for ten billion dollars loaned to foreign countries! A beautiful scheme—for the foreign debtors. Fun for the boys, but death to a boil is on some materially lower undertaken at a cool and oil at a than anywhere because of our supersport. But here great body of data which several workers are which, at the point could not possibly market with them or labor in other absence of profit have either to wages or else give industries name—might survive tariff system, that certain that all stand up against petition of the people. But, in any event crude industry lines of finished duties are needed wage rates and living. To abduce the tariff point would meet attitude of mankind. Not all the need could justify so.

"economist" was another war? Surely happen in exports of Japan that on equivalent countries. It is tion, quite on a London man takes. Whatever must be the same protective as a EUROPE WILL ACCEPT RESERVATIONS Should the Senate majority and the President agree—as indeed they must—on a moderate and adequate program of reservations and interpretative declarations respecting the covenant of the league of nations, would England, France and Italy, or any one of these nations, raise serious objections, enter into protracted diplomatic discussions and thereby indefinitely delay the return of the peace for which the world is longing? President Wilson, in his speeches on the treaty, has asserted that there is a high probability, if not a certainty, of trouble and vexatious delays in the event of any sort of reservations being attached to the covenant by the Senate. On this important phase of the concerted effort, a sort of propaganda, to bring about the surrender of our own market to foreigners in order that the foreigners may discharge their financial obligation by sending us manufactured products. Think of it! Ten billion dollars' worth of goods which we don't need, in return for ten billion dollars loaned to foreign countries! A beautiful scheme—for the foreign debtors. Fun for the boys, but death to the frogs; European boys, American frogs. A rather peculiar feature of this goods-for-money propaganda is seen in the fact that it is being urged by the British. A country that has abandoned Free-Trade and taken up the Protective policy is asking this country to abandon Protection and take up Free-Trade! That would be a picnic for Great Britain. Yet it is seriously advocated by British business men; also by a good many American Free-Traders, notably Secretary Dedfield, of the Department of Commerce, who not long ago appeared in print with the proposition that it was alike our duty and our interest to continue to finance Europe by letting Europe pay its debts in goods. Truly a remarkable proposition to emanate from an American cabinet officer. But it is easily explained. Mr. Redfield is—well, he is Mr. Redfield. One can hardly imagine a member of the British Ministry of today advocating a policy that would open British market to the low-priced competition of the whole world and thus paralyzize British industry and labor. Great Britain will make no such mistake. Her government has abandoned Free-Trade and adopted Protection.

BURNING MONEY Life is gay and blithe and sunny since the peace dove hit the breeze; every one is burning money just as though it grew on trees. I insist on thrift and saving, but there's none to heed my words; Johnnie say that I am raving, and throw money to the birds. Men are drawing princely wages, and their breasts are filled with mirth, and they jeer foreboding sages who predict a day of dearth; but that day will come as surely as tomorrow's sun will rise; thing will then be going poorly with giddy spendthrift guys. Things won't boom along forever as they're booming now, My friends; and the man who's truly clever saves as ably as he spends. It is patent to the knowing, in expansive times like these, that the kopecks won't be growing always on the shrubs and trees. There will come a day of trouble, when this boom is left behind, and the kopeck and the ruble will be mighty hard to find, happy then the lads whose wages have been safely placed in brine, who obeyed the seers and sages, when the saving graft was fine. And how sick will be the mortals who like spendthrifts now behave, who reply with jeers and choriles when we call on them to save—Walt Mason. ANOTHER USE FOR AIRPLANE Viewing the great San Andreas fault from an elevation of 5000 feet is the latest recreation of March field aviation. This fault is believed to outline the path of the earthquakes which from time to time shake up certain portions of California. It follows San Bernardino mountains closely and can be seen plainly. The pilots of the March field aerial forest fire patrol planes say they can discern the fault from their planes easily. The airplanes have been making trip to the desert side and then coming over the mountains in vicinity of Lone Pine canyon. From that point the fault can be seen for a long distance. It has been followed by the planes to the upper Yucalpa valley, from where it can be traced to San Jacinto mountains. From an elevation of 5000 feet the fault shows in almost a perfectly straight line. Thus another use has been discovered for the airplanes and it is believed data on earthquakes can be had from an intensive study of the great fault, possibly from airplanes.

Ten tales which en billion entries! A sign debtdeath to a boil is on some other fellow, argues that the adoption of Free-Trade or a materially lower tariff could not be undertaken at a more favorable moment because we can produce steel, cool and oil at a lower production cost than anywhere in Europe; also, because of our surplus of foodstuffs for export. But he entirely overlooks a great body of diversified industries in which several millions of highly-paid workers are employed—industries which, at the present rate of wages, could not possibly compete in our own market with the products of far cheapelor labor in other countries, and in the absence of protective duties would have either to make a heavy cut in wages or else go out of business. The industries named—steel, coal, and oil —might survive a low tariff or no tariff system, though it is by no means certain that all of them could long stand up against the unrestricted com­petition of the rest of the world. But, in any event, these are rela­tively crude industries. It is in the higher lines of finished production that tariff duties are needed to maintain our high wage rates and our high standard of living. To abolish or materially reduce the tariff below the protective point would mean ruin to a great multitude of manufacturers and workers. Not all the needs of twenty Europes could justify so monstrous a sacrifice. The closing suggestion of the London tramer of an American economic policy that would put Europe on its feet and the United States on its back is that protective duties might have to be retained against such countries as Japan, where the cost of labor is much below the rates paid in Europe on the United States. What's that? Protective duties against one nation, and Free-Trade for the products of all other nations? Does this London "economist" want to plunge us into another war? That is what would surely happen if we imposed upon the exports of Japan a tariff higher than that on equivalent exports of other countries. It is a rediculous suggestion, quite on a par with the rest of the London man's budget of tariff mistakes. Whatever tariff we have, it must be the same for all countries. If protective as against Japan, it must trouble, when this boom is left behind, and the kopeck and the ruble will be mighty hard to find, happy then the lads whose wages have been safely placed in brine, who obeyed the seers and sages, when the saving graft was fine. And how sick will be the mortals who like spendthrifts now behave, who reply with jeers and choriles when we call on them to save.—Walt Mason. OUR PHILANTHROPIC PARTNERS Winston Churchill, the British publicist, declares that as a result of the world war the British empire has reached the pinnacle of its greatness In all the world's history no empire of such wide dominion has ever been erected. The British empire now holds sway over about one-third of the world's population . She is mistress of the seas, holds all the most valuable parts of Africa, controls Asia from the Mediterranean through Asia Minor, Persia, Central Asia and India to the island of Ceylon, owns Australia and adjacent islands and more than one-third the area of North America. France, with her new possessions, has an area larger than that of the United States and possessions, and is, despite war sacrifices, in a far higher position of wealth and power than since the days of Napoleon. Japan, dominating Korea and Manchuria, with control of China guaranteed by the possession of Shantung, is in control of the western shores of the Pacific. President Wilson tells us that what these powers want is for us to go into a league against selfish and aggressive nationalism. These nations are not to be blamed for getting all they could out of the peace, but to ask the United States to pledge its blood and money to protect the acquisitions, on the ground of altruism, looks like saving the world for hypocrisy. THEY'RE ON THE JOB One great reason why the radicals among the steel strikers in Pennsylvania have not caused more trouble and done more damage to property in that state is the Pennsylvania State Constabulary. The strikers call them THEY'RE ON THE JOB One great reason why the radicals among the steel strikers in Pennsylvania have not caused more trouble and done more damage to property in that state is the Pennsylvania State Constabulary. The strikers call them the "Cossacks," because they don't know when to stop fighting, and they are not particular what they fight with when trouble starts. However, these splendid troops do more to prevent fighting than otherwise, and by their work in the past they have "corralled the radicals' goat." The constabulary has the reputation of finishing anything that it starts and finish it in its own favor. Not a few members of the force have died "finishing" their jobs, but the other members have always completed the work. They do their work like the old Texas rangers and Northwest Mounted Police. Every member of the force must be absolutely fearless if he stays on the job. Several riots have started during the strike and have stopped just as quickly as the state constabulary could arrive on the scene. There isn't a great force of these men, but half a dozen of them have been known to hold back and eventually defeat a howling mob of 300. Their work during the present strike has been to protect steel company property and prevent rioting. They work in small groups. When these men see several men congregate they immediately disperse the crowd and tell them to keep moving. After they had backed up their commands by Joseph Brandon, a socialist, political objector to military service classified as "conscientious" by Secretary Baker, sentenced to death as a leader of mutiny at Camp Funston and who made a record as a chronic insurrectionist at Fort Riley, has been unconditionally released by secret orders from Washington, following the reduction of his sentence to imprisonment for five years by President Wilson. Brandon was escorted to the train by an armed guard to protect him from attack by soldiers. Brandon is said to have had a strong "pull" with the War Department since his incarceration. When he was forced to cook his meals in his own room, a demand for an explanation came from Washington within thirty-six hours. While Brandon, with a pull in the War Department, is released following the commission of acts which under military law call for a death sentence, other offenders guilty of far less serious crimes are held, some of them The advantage of the Hairy Peruvian is that it yields from one to two tons to the acre more than the common. This heavier yield is not due altogether to the coarser, ranker growth, but it to a considerable extent due to the earlier growth in the spring and later growth in the fall. Hairy Peruvian alfalfa has been grown in the Yuma Valley for a number of years and within the past two or three years has come into popularity in the Salt River Valley. Practically all new seeding in the Salt River Valley this past season was Hairy Peruvian. So far no seed is being grown to any extent in the Salt River Valley, but a considerable amount is raised in the Yuma Valley. From Superintendent C. J. Woods of the Salt River Valley experiment station at Mesa, I have the following records of yellds from a sixteen acre field of Hairy Peruvian so far this season: Pounds First cutting, April 16.....51,845 Second cutting, May 15.....50,500 Third cutting, June 25.....44,000 Fourth cutting, July 26.....42,137 188,482 Making a total of 94½ tons for the sixteen acres. This lacks 1¼ tons of being six tons per acre for the four cuttings. There will be a light cutting early in September and a heavy cutting in October with a fair cutting in November or some pasturage. Certainly a wonder crop which makes for greater wealth of the great Southwest. This field was seeded in November 1917. Several varieties of alfalfa are being tried out in an experimental way on small plots. One variety which is known at the station as French alfalfa, in practically all tests has so far outyielded all others, including the Hairy Peruvian. No seed of this is yet available for distribution. An information, charging William Rodriguez with a statutory offense against a 14-year-old girl at Anaheim, was filed in the Superior Court by Deputy District Attorney William F. Menon. R. C. Dutton is attorney fro Rodriguez. Manager Schureman of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association has reported the theft of a fumigating tent to Sheriff Jackson. Mexicans who have been camping near the Anaheim Sugar Company's factory are suspected, according to Manager Schurleman's report. Ford THE UNIVERSAL CAR The Ford car can well be called the "people's car," because there are more than 3,000,000 of them in daily operation. That is about four to one of the nearest follower in the motor car industry. This would not be so if the Ford car had not for sixteen years proven its superiority in service, in durability, and in low cost for operation and maintenance; this would not be so if the Ford car was not so easy to understand, so simple in construction that anybody and everybody can safely drive it.
