WILL MAKE SHORT WORK OF NUMBERING PEOPLE Enumerators Expect to have Count Completed Within 15 Days. Fifteen days in which to compile the population figures and thirty days in which to collect all necessary information required for his reports are the periods and the tasks set for Charles G. Rowan of San Diego, census supervisor of the eleventh congressional district, which includes San Diego, Orange, Imperil, Riverside, San Bernardino, Inyo and Mono counties. Census taking will start on January 2. Any person alive on January 1 will be listed as a part of the population. The census is to be as of January 1, 1920. Rowan has practically completed all arrangements for the census in each county of his district. He is expecting co-operation everywhere and in Orange county he knows of no reason why the census should not be taken rapidly. Here, of course, the one problem that census takers will run up against will be among the Mexicans. Since accurate information is required concerning each individual, there is bound to be some misunderstandings with Mexicans. However, patience and perseverance have been urged upon the census takers, and a complete census certainly ought to result in this county. Questions to be asked at each house include the following: Name of the head of the house. Name of each number of the fam. Say! Listen! A man who operates a string of stores, one of which is located here, dropped in the day before Christmas, remarking that elsewhere he found things slow but here he was surprised to see business lively. As the young lady replies, I'll say so. There is one man in the town for whom old H. C. L. has no terrors. He says often he fasts for two or three days at a stretch, feels better for the rest, and when he again begins reaching for the chow, he is content to eat only an apple or two for a few days in order to get back in the race. Let's tell Hoover. Next April is slowly but surely rolling around. Keep your ear to the listening post. The latest culinary note has it that if you run your eider through a cream separator you acquire a product showing about 90 per cent proof. Your uncle will have to revise his statutes.

Questions to be asked at each house include the following: Name of the head of the house. Name of each member of the family. Residence. Where born. Age. Color. Married, single or divorced. Occupation. Mother tongue, if foreign born. Do you own your own home and is free from mortgage? Can you speak English? Can you read and write? If of foreign birth, when did you come to this country, are you naturalized and if not, have you taken out your first papers? If you are of school age, are you attending school? If not, why not. An accurate count is important. The figures will be used in re-districting into congressional districts. The census figures, following the taking of the next census, will be published in much quicker time than formerly and more easily referred to, because of the mechanical arrangement in the census bureau at Washington. This system is now so advanced that a complete tabulation will be only a matter of a short time after the figures are received at headquarters. The government now conducts a regular machine shop in connection with the census bureau. Each person will be represented by a card, about as large as one's hand, on which will be punched all the questions answered. Identification cards and written commissions will be carried by enumerators. These will be shown promptly by the counters upon the request of anyone. In all cases where persons are suspicious of imposters these identification cards should be demanded. It is a strict violation of the law for anyone to impersonate an enumerator. A bunch of young sprigs of gentility were hovering around on the sidewalk's edge the other evening, all dolled up and no place to go, and just natural like started up the curbstone quartet. First the notes were soft and low, and when all hands joined in it seemed as though they were hitting on all four cylinders and it wasn't so bad. Now the cigars are gently tapped end up in their palms, a light is struck, and between drafts the leader says, "all right, let's go again." And there wasn't a cop in sight. It has developed, through the questioning of women who have been summoned as prospective jurors in a murder case now being tried in Los Angeles, that nearly all of them were firm in their stand against capital punishment for first degree murderers. For the safety of society some drastic penalty must be held over the heads of criminals of all classes. To see some of the scenes of the silver sheet as laid in the frozen belt of the far north, one is led to believe that there must have been an overcrop of gold-hunting rough-necks attracted there, where a life hung upon a thread. But this puts pep into the photoplay. A few days ago a man stepped up to a bunch and informed them that the latest quotations were $105 for a case. No wonder teh poor guys are on the water wagon now. A gentleman was encountered on Christmas day carrying a large hand tray filled with substantial eatables, including a roasted chicken. "Where are you going and what have you there," asked a friend. "Oh, I have been invited out to dinner, but you know, I am one of those kind who don't like to take anything for nothing," replied the man. "I'm taking along a good share of the past." That's the kind of a neighbor to have. That harum-scarum gent has begun emitting ideas of a freakish nature again.

He stated: "Germany is prepared to flood the United States with dyestuffs, surgical goods and glassware as soon as trade relations are formally resumed and American industry will be forced to compete against prices which will be so low as to be unfair. "Every German port of embarkation is now loaded with goods which Germany will send to this country the minute that peace is declared." To offset this Senator Smoot has introduced an "anti-dumping" bill which would give the Secretary of the Treasury power to forbid importation of goods sold to importers at unfair prices. Senator Walsh, Dem., says he does not know whether the President wrote the last statement attributed to him or whether it is the product of some "cheap politician." There are no "cheap politicians" connected with the present national administration. All of them are very expensive. —That harum-scarum gent has begun emitting ideas of a freakish nature again. But anybody is liable to make mistakes—that's why they put rubbers on lead pencils. —They say three out of town gents acted unpretty here a few days ago after they had transferred three-fourths of the contents of a fifth under their belts. Now, the burning question is, where'd they get it? —This idea of moving a house and asking for a permit afterwards is going to cause the mover some trouble one of these days. He may be asked to move the house back. —It is reported that a local capitalist has invested a big bank roll in German marks at a price of a few cents each. A German mark as a monetary unit equals 24 cents. It he taking a long chance? —If this drilling for oil keeps up and everybody gets to be a millionaire, people will starve to death. There will be no one left to do the work. —The latest dope on the movie picture game is that the fans are going to have another playhouse and may be two. But there is no use getting excited, gents, as the report about the second might have been flushed to scare away the first one spoken of a ANAHEIM GAZETTE couple of weeks ago. The man behind the gun in this instance doesn't want his name mentioned, but he says he has plans under consideration and is only waiting for the second party to say yes. The other venture spoken of may be genuine, and really has a two to one better location. Sounds fair enough. It's time for Ameircans to get busy and round up these worthless hounds who threaten to destroy packing houses. A few private necktie parties would help a whole lot. STARTLING EVIDENCE OF JAP EXPANSION Gradually Possessing the Land Wherever They Get Foothold. Startling evidence of the acquisition of valuable agricultural land in California by the Japanese and the almost phenomenal increase in their population is contained in reports being received by the California Oriental Exclusion League from county assessors, auditors and city clerks. In thirty-two counties, not including several of the largest counties and the ones having a large Japanese population, the reports show there are 40,083 Japanese. One of the most astounding revelations is that in these counties Japanese individuals or corporations own or control 11,827 acres of valuable agricultural land. In addition, a 2346 acre tract in Stanislaus county is reported to have been purchased for Japanese which would bring the total KEYNOTE OF CAMPAIGN The keynote of the next Republican national platform will be found in the one word "Americanism." "Americanism" in the true sense means, to Americans, America always first; America, not above all, but before all, in the minds and hearts of those who profess allegiance to America. "Americanism" means first thought of the rights, interests and ideals of America. It does not meaan enmity to other nations. It means recognition of the indisputable truth that as other nations and peoples look first after their own, so the American people should think first of the preservation of the heritage that has come down to them through the labors and sacrifices of the founders of this republic and the generations that have toiled and sacrificed that this nation might be the strongest and happiest of earth. "Americanism" means that America shall not, without some better reason for doing than has yet been advanced, bankrupt herself in order that some insolvent nation may be saved from financial disaster. "Americanism" means that the assets of this country shall not be traded for the liabilities of other countries to such an extent that America shall be dragged down to that level of life for the ordinary man which has for centuries prevailed in other lands. It is not necessary that America be wrecked to save other nations from economic disaster in order that the generosity of this nation shall be dem- of gentility in the sideening, all and just curbstone were soft lands joined where it wasn't gently taped a light is the leader again." One of the most astounding revelations is that in these counties Japanese individuals or corporations own or control 11,827 acres of valuable agricultural land. In addition, a 2346 acre tract in Stanislaus county is reported to have been purchased for Japanese, which would bring the total acreage to 14,173. These figures on acreage do not include many town lots which the Japanese own. Nor do they include twelve parcels of land owned by Japanese in Orange county. Leased lands are not included in the figures. In some of the counties, according to the reports, the population of the Japanese increased 100 per cent in the past ten years. The value of the property held by the Japanese is hard to obtain, but in Contra Costa county where a close tab is kept on the Japanese, their holdings are valued at $140,000. San Joaquin county estimates the value of agricultural land held by the Japanese at $315,805. In Butte county, the figures show fifty-one Japanese women gave birth to ninety-seven children in three years. There are no Japanese in Mariposa county, it being reported that citizens of that county will not tolerate them. The reports also show there were 107 corporations with Japanese names in California on March last. Fifty per cent of these corporations hold agricultural land. Besides these corporations which bear Japanese names, there are thousands in the State with American names and directors that are really controlled by Japanese. GAS TRACTOR COURSE A feature of the gas tractor short course, which is to be held at the Citrus Experiment Station, Riverside, February 23-28, 1920, is the compendium of lectures given to each student. This booklet contains, in condensed form, all the lecture material and also directions for performing many of the operations involved in the repairing of financial disaster. Americanism means that the assets of this country shall not be traded for the liabilities of other countries to such an extent that America shall be dragged down to that level of life for the ordinary man which has for centuries prevailed in other lands. It is not necessary that America be wrecked to save other nations from economic disaster in order that the generosity of this nation shall be demonstrated. We have just emerged from war in which the American people poured out their money by the billions and their soldiers by the millions to save civilization from disaster. The theory that such sacrifice only involves this nation in the obligation to take on the debt and disaster o fail the rest of the world seems to be entertained only by a few theorists and doctrinales, ambitious for world fame, with their deluded dupes, and with interests not so well stocked with ideals, but heavily loaded with foreign securities and the ambition to take on more to their own profit, even if all this be done by the sacrifice of the rights and interests of their own country and countrymen. "Americanism" means the early restoration of what Henry Clay so well called the "American system" of protection to American manufactures, American agriculture and American labor. It means first chance in the American market for producers who live here, pay taxes here, build up this country through labor and investment, and upon whom rests the obligation to protect this country in time of war as well as support it in time of peace. It means the abandonment of a fiscal policy which robs the American treasury and throws heavier burdens on the American taxpayer in order that alien rather than domestic industrial interests may be fostered. "Americanism" means the protection of the lives and the property of American citizens abroad as well as at home. It means that to be an American citizen will again be as much of a protection to those who yield allegiance to the American government, as it is to be a citizen of Great Britain or of any other great self-respecting power. It will mean an end of the policy of treating American citizens. GAS TRACTOR COURSE A feature of the gas tractor short course, which is to be held at the Citrus Experiment Station, Riverside, February 23-28, 1920, is the compendium of lectures given to each student. This booklet contains, in condensed form, all the lecture material and also directions for performing many of the operations involved in the repairing of tractors. Aside from relieving the student from taking notes during the lectures, it allows him to give undivided attention to the charts, models and tractor parts which are used throughout the course. The course is divided between lecture, demonstration and practice work. Two, one hour lectures are given daily to the entire school. During the other six hours, students working in groups of approximately 18, either operate tractors or attend demonstrations of motor repairing, magneto timing and trouble finding, carburetor adjusting, etc. Twelve makes of tractors will be used in the course. For further information concerning this course write to the Director, Citrus Experiment Station, Riverside. The course is limited to 180. The students must be over 18 years of age and either own, operate or be directly interested in tractors. Enroll now if you wish to attend. Application should be accompanied by registration fee of $1.00, which is the only charge connected with the course. Rooming accommodations should be engaged in advance. If the present situation continues much longer Europe my have to go back to work and sue Uncle Sam for non-support. "Americanism" means the protection of the lives and the property of American citizens abroad as well as at home. It means that to be an American citizen will again be as much of a protection to those who yield allegiance to the American government, as it is to be a citizen of Great Britain or of any other great self-respecting power. It will mean an end of the policy of treating American citizens, American rights and American interests with open contempt in any country on this or the other hemisphere. "Americanism" means the turning of the thought of American statesmanship to the problems that affect the homes of the American people. It may not mean so much high-sounding talk about tranquilizing the world, but it will mean practical measures taken toward the restoration of domestic peace and order. We talk of settling the world's problems by subordinating the United States in a world parliament, when we seem to be unable to prevent the settlement of domestic industrial disputes by any method but that of civil war. "Americanism" means the preservation of and obedience to the American constitution and form of government. It means an end of usurpation of all functions of government by any one of the three co-ordinate branches of government. It means government by public opinion, and by the common counsel of the people's leadership. It means an end of opinionated autocracy. It means an end of thinking of public problems only in terms of votes. It means government of, by and for the people, rather than merely government of, by and for whatever interests may be able to bring upon the government, for the time being, the heaviest political pressure or brandish under the noses of the people the biggest club and assail their ears with the most menacing threats. "Americanism" means, in short, a return to the well settled precedents and policies which made this nation the richest and the greatest and the happiest on earth long before the "new freedom" was thought of. It means turning our backs upon European imperialism and European socialism. It means the re-establishment of the right of the American people to conduct their national affairs in their own way, with malice toward none and with the friendship for all the governments of earth. Here at home it means resistance to the movement to transfer from America to America the idea of class division, class consciousness, class government, and class war, or to introduce here as a factor in our politics the complex racial and national hatreds and rivalries of Europe. It means the perpetuation of the republic under which the government is the creature of the people, as opposed to the effort to establish in its stead the socialist state under which the people are to be dependents and creatures of the government. "Americanism" means the return to the more economical and common sense methods of conducting the na- START 1920 RIGHT A dollar will start you. to it regularly and be in a to grasp some of the opporhat are bound to come to in life.

It means upon European imperial affairs in their place toward none andhip for all the governational government. It means an end of the system, introduced by the present national administration, whereby there are coming to be more office holders supported by the people, than private citizens to support the job holders. "Americanism" means the establishment of those policies under which honest private enterprise is encouraged, rather than struck down; by which industry and ability, usefully employed, are regarded, rather than penalized; whereby initiative and invention and exploration which add to the general wealth are honored rather than attacked. It means, too, that the government shall halt enterprise at the border line of selfish exploitation, and shall treat as criminal all conspiracies directed toward the oppression of the general public, by whomsoever hatched. "Americanism" means an end of government by fear, of the misuse of government for the control of public opinion either by threat or persuasion. It means that coercion of government or of the general public by the threat of any individual or combination of individuals to do the people injury shall cease. Involved in the next campaign will be the fundamental matter of the very character of our government and the attitude of national administration toward it. The very atmosphere of Washington needs to be changed. The windows of public place must be thrown open and the fresh air of the old Americanism let in. To bring this about is the mission of national Republicanism in the next campaign. The people eagerly await the opportunity to put the seal of their approval upon this enterprise. SALE OF HIGHWAI BONDS The California Highway Commission has formally requested Governor Stephens to direct the State Treasurer to sell a block of $12,000,000 of the new $40,000,000 highway bonds. This will be the first offering of State highway bonds of the last, or $40,000,000 issue. The commission's program calls for an expenditure of an average of $1,000,000 per month, and it is now asking that the sale of sufficient bonds to cover the year's work shall be assured at the earliest possible date. These bonds will probably be offered for sale some time in February, 1920. The college professors of the state of New York have formed a labor union. A college professors' strike will at any rate never cause a national crisis.
