ORANGE COUNTY WILL HAVE FINE EXHIBIT BRADFORD EXPECTS TO CAPTURE FIRST PRIZE AT SAN BERNARDINO ORANGE SHOW. Associated Chambers Endorses Cummins Anti-Strike Bill.—Invitation Extended to Democratic Delegates to Visit this County. Orange county is going to have a fine display at the National Orange Show at San Brenardino, and its position will be as prominent as here to fore—at the main entrance of the show. A. S. Bradford, chairman of the committee, at the associated chambers meeting at Orange Wednesday night outlined the plans he has developed and the character of the display. He gave a minute description of the design of the exhibit. The name of Orange county will be brought out with lemons in a background of oranges. Alternating colored lights with a reflector, will set the display off to advantage. All the more prominent of the products of the county will be shown, with an orange grove displayed on one end of the platform and a working oil field on the other. The value of the different products will be Guild prepared and served the dinner and they were highly complimented on the character and abundance of the delicious home-cooked viands and the prompt service given. About ninety were in attendance and there were no long waits on service. L. F. Cogburn of Orange gave the address of welcome and response was by Mac O. Robbins of Santa Ana. JAPS WILL ATTEMPT TO BUY LEGISLATION Fund Raised for the Purpose of Influencing Law Makers. In an editorial appearing in the "Nichi Bei," the leading Japanese newspaper of San Francisco, charges are made that the Japanese have started a movement to "buy" legislation in the 1921 legislature that will be beneficial to their own interests, according to translations made for the California Oriental Exclusion League. The editorial states the plan is to raise a fund of $100,000 with which to conduct "negotiations" with the legislature, and that $50,000 is to be secured in "certain quarters in the old country, conditioned on the collection of a like sum from Japanese residents in America." Friction in the ranks of the Japanese Association of America resulting from the action of the directors of the association in requesting the Japanese government to discontinue the picture bride practice, is responsible for the expose of the alleged movement.

The name of Orange county will be brought out with lemons in a background of oranges. Alternating colored lights with a reflector, will set the display off to advantage. All the more prominent of the products of the county will be shown, with an orange grove displayed on one end of the platform and a working oil field on the other. The value of the different products will be shown between the spokes of a revolving wheel, with the grand total value of $77,000,000 for the year 1919 given a very prominent position. "Comparison of these figures with the total assessed valuation of approximately $96,000,000 is some fine showing," said Bradford. Reporting for the Harbor committee, Lew H. Wallace said that probably dredging work in the bay would commence about the first of April. This will depend on whether or not there are heavy rains. Work on the jetties for the mouth of the Santa Ana river into the ocean has not been progressing as fast as it was hoped it would, owing to delay in getting rock delivered. He announced that arrangements had been made for the delivering of rock from the Riverside quarry by the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific and that shipments would be greater than they had been under shipment by Pacific Electric freight. No attempt will be made to dredge until the river is diverted to the ocean. Major Ford, recruiting officer for the army, made an appeal for support of army recruiting by the different county organizations and told of the advantages of service in the army of today over what they were before the world war. Vocational training is now offered in addition to physical and military training. The secretary was authorized to prepare resolutions endorsing Senate bill No. 3288, known as the Cummins act, and to forward them. The act makes it illegal for two or more employees or officials in railway service to enter into a combination for the purpose of restraining transportation, it being directed at strikes. Labor organizations are using every influence to eliminate from all national of a like sum from Japanese residents in America." Friction in the ranks of the Japanese Association of America resulting from the action of the directors of the association in requesting the Japanese government to discontinue the picture bride practice, is responsible for the expose of the alleged movement. It is charged in the Japanese paper that the old directors of the association are desirous of retaining their positions, not only as a matter of pride and to "save their faces," but as "the beginning of a movement whose objective is the California State Legislature of next Spring (1921), for which negotiations have been made for receiving $50,000 in aid from certain quarters in the old country, conditioned on the collection of a like sum from the Japanese residents in America. A movement for spending $100,000 is very interesting, and in order not to miss a share in this detectable bait, toad-eaters will naturally collect like flies." An effort was made to oust the directors of the association, and demand also was made for the recall of Ohate, Consul-General at San Francisco, who had seconded the recommendation of the directors of the association. The regular annual meeting of the association was held in San Francisco for four days beginning January 15th, and efforts were made to wrest control of the organization from the old directors, but the fight ended in their retention. "Nichj-Bei" is bitter in denouncing the old directors as belonging to the bureaucracy, and is determined to deprive the Japanese in the United States of the means which are necessary in their contention for development of this land.

Labor organizations are using every influence to eliminate from all national legislation action that will make strikes illegal. Advised by V. W. Grubb of River-side that the Chamber of Commerce of that place had taken action looking to a visit to the Southland of delegates to the Democratic national convention at San Francisco, Secretary Metzgar was directed to communicate with the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce for information as to plans, and to offer the co-operation of the Associated Chambers in any plan that may be undertaken. Effort will be made to have Orange county included in the itinerary of the delegates who come south. C. L. Crumrine of La Habra, reported that a movement by the Anti-Single Tax League is now on to secure signatures to a petition against the single tax and praying for a change that will require the signatures of twenty-five per cent instead of 8 per cent of the voters to a petition to get the single tax question submitted to the people. The issue is one of sufficient importance to warrant action by the county organization, in his opinion, and upon his motion the secretary was directed to get in touch with the league, secure copies of the petition and see that they are circulated in the county. The ladies of the Trinity Episcopal CITRUS MEN WANT RAILROADS RETURNED Senators and Congressmen Bombarded with Telegrams from this Section. California Senators and Congressmen are being bombarded with telegrams from associations representing walnut and fruit growers in this district opposing the Plumb bill for continuation of the railroads under government control. Experience of the associations with government control has turned them against that method and they are anxious that return to private ownership be made as quickly as possible. The telegrams from Santa Ana were sent to United States Senators Jas. P. Phelan, Hiram Johnson and Albert Cummins, and Representatives H. Z. Osborne, Wm. Kettner, Chas. H. Randall and Jos. J. Esch. Among the organizations forwarding telegraphic protests against the Plumb plan are the Golden West Citrus Association and the Tustin Lemon Association at Tustin. Geo. W. Shattuck, secretary and manager of the Golden West, sent the following, which is practically a duplicate of others that have gone forward: "The Golden West Citrus Association, representing over 1200 acres of oranges and lemons, is strongly against government ownership and operation of the operation of the railroads, and also of the so-called Plumb plan. We favor the return to private ownership of the railroads at as early date as possible."

The American Senate seeks only security for America. Now, as the politicians have deindustrialized Europe, thus imperiling the lives of the 100,000,000 people who hitherto have lived on the food imports paid for on the labor of that industrialism, the result is the present chaos, famine, revolution and approaching collapse which America is now feverishly enjoined to capitalize. "But on what security? Having control," said Shattuck, in discussing the telegram and the conditions prompting. "The equipment has been permitted to run down. There is more red tape under the government operation than under private. The service in the delivery of shipments to their destination is from two to six days longer than it was under pre-war conditions, and there are more wrecks on the road because of the dilapidated condition of the equipment. "We haven't been able to get the cars for shipping our products in the numbers we did before the government took over control, and the service has been unsatisfactory throughout. "The rundown condition of the passenger equipment is reflected as much in the passenger line as in the freight line. Passengers coming from the east complain bitterly of the inferior service and trains regularly are from two to twenty-four hours late arriving from the east." LEAGUE OF NATIONS A CAPITALISTIC PLAN "The American Senate seeks only security for America. Now, as the politicians have deindustrialized Europe, thus imperiling the lives of the 100,000,000 people who hitherto have lived on the food imports paid for on the labor of that industrialism, the result is the present chaos, famine, revolution and approaching collapse which America is now feverishly enjoined to capitalize. "But on what security? Having control." It would control our relations with other nations, not only on other continents, but in America as well, and hence would destroy the force and effect of the Monroe doctrine. It may be that the League of Nations would act wisely, under the direction of the capitalistic classes of this and other nations, but are we willing to turn over to others the right to dominate our affairs? Can we afford to take any chances? Does national and individual liberty mean anything to us any more? Under the extraordinary powers conferred upon it on account of the war we have had to put up with such tyranny on the part of the administration as was undreamed of before the beginning of the war. We have found that too much power conferred upon the administration leads to abuses. We believe that we are justified in going still further and saying that it leads to oppression. We have seen that the further the government gets away from the people, the source of power, the worse affairs of state are managed. We have seen that the administration, grown giddy with power, has sought to dominate a co-ordinate branch of the government and to usurp the power held by that body. No, we do not dare trust the affairs of the nation in the hands of any organization, no matter how wise may be its actions, any farther removed from the control or influence of the people themselves. If we surrender to a capitalistic League of Nations we will lose our individual and national liberty. Liberty is still as precious as it was when Patrick Henry exclaimed: "Give me liberty..."

"But on what security? Having economically ruined that highly complicated industrial organism of Europe and even organized its stagnation, we say to America, 'Give credits or that system will crash.'" "The League of Nations as at present constituted must be the greatest mechanism of reaction civilization has ever known. "Article V. enjoins unanimity. Article X. implies finality—both unreal and unrealizable ideas, as its framers well knew. If America ratifies such a mechanism of control, Europe would lie at the absolute mercy of a world trust in control of raw materials, controlling Europe at the pit of the stomach. "It is a purely capitalist or commercial design of power over governments, parliaments, kings, democracy or sanction. It would lead inevitably to organized rebellion on the part of the peoples and straight to a world class war." No, those are not the words of Senator Borah, nor Senator Reed, nor yet of Senator Johnson. They are the words of the editor of the English Review, Austin Harrison. Comment has been made upon the anxiety of certain capitalists in this country for the ratification of the Treaty of Peace without modification. Mr. Harrison indicates very clearly the reason for their anxiety. The League of Nations "is a purely capitalistic or commercial design of power over governments." It is "super-government" under the control of the capitalists. We are not among those who have nothing good to say of capitalists. They are a necessary and most important part of our economic system. We owe our great development as a nation largely to our capitalistic class-body. No, we do not dare trust the affairs of the nation in the hands of any organization, no matter how wise may be its actions, any farther removed from the control or influence of the people themselves. If we surrender to a capitalistic League of Nations we will lose our individual and national liberty. Liberty is still as precious as it was when Patrick Henry exclaimed: "Give me liberty or give me death!" THE FASTIDIUOS COON The raccoon has a habit that is not indulged in by any other animal. If given a piece of meat he will not touch a mouthful until he has washed it in as clear water as he can find, and he will allow no one to do this for him. So thoroughly does he perform this task that he not only soaks all the blood out of the meat, but actually reduces the morsel to a very uninviting flabby piece to pale flesh. He will roll it over and over in the water with his forepaws and give it an occasional shaking by seizing it in his mouth. Finally, when it is semimacerated to his liking, he will devour it with apparent relish. The writer has tried raccoon with pieces of raw meat; and, although the animal will hold the piece in his mouth, he will immediately commence to hunt around for some water to wash it in. Failing to find any, he soon exhibits his distress and annoyance; in fact, he must be very hungry, indeed, before he will condescend to eat a piece of raw meat that he has not previously washed to his complete satisfaction.

The League of Nations "is a purely capitalistic or commercial design of power over governments." It is "super-government' under the control of the capitalists. We are not among those who have nothing good to say of capitalists. They are a necessary and most important part of our economic system. We owe our great development as a nation largely to our capitalistic classes. A capitalist is not necessarily a billionaire, or even a multi-millionaire. Nor is he necessarily connected with Wall Street. Nor are we opposed to Wall Street, though we may at times criticise some of Wall Street's methods. But we are unalterably opposed to allowing any one class of people, whether the capitalists, the labor unions, the employers or the employees, to seize the reins of power and run affairs in the interest of any particular class. The influence of the capitalistic class at the Peace Conference is undeniable. Their representatives were greatly in evidence. It was proper that our Peace Commission should have the benefit of their advice. We fear, however, that they had too large a share in moulding the opinion of the Member of our Peace Delegation. Just examine the list of names of those who have been making strenuous appeals for the ratification of the Treaty of Peace, without vital reservations or amendments, and determine whether the claim of Mr. Harrison does not seem reasonable. The League of Nations would control our financial affairs. It would control our commerce. It would control our exports. It would control our imports. It would control tariff mat- Captain C. W. Cole, U. S. N., navy recruiting inspector for the Western Division, has a better conception of local conditions and better information on local territory than he had prior to a visit at the recruiting station at Santa Ana and a trip over the county. Captain Cole is on a tour of inspection throughout the sub-stations of the Los Angeles district, of which Orange county is one of the largest territories. As he had a large number of sub-stations to visit before returning to San Francisco, he could stop only a few hours. He is greatly pleased with the cooperation being given the navy in its campaign for enlistments by the people of Orange county through the local recruiting office. The Santa Ana office is at room 224, W. H. Spurgeon building, and there the officers have victory buttons awaiting all men of the Naval Reserve force who served in the navy between April 6, 1917, and November 11, 1918. Reservists applying for buttons must present their release papers so that required notation can be made by the recruiting officers. "The opportunities being offered young men by the navy are being appreciated and many enlistments all over the United States are resulting," said J. F. Hedrick, one of the local recruiting officers, today. "The navy is offering a chance of a lifetime for young men wanting to gain a knowledge of foreign countries and at the same time learn a trade that will be useful after expiration of enlistment if continued service is not deemed profitable by the enlisted man. The navy still is in need of a great many mechanics and those who join and want a trade training can secure it by entering trade schools. Good wages prevail while the trade is being learned. FOR STATE ECONOMY Treasurer Declares It Is Unnecessary to Increase Revenues at this Time. In answer to a letter of inquiry, Friend Wm. Richardson, State Treasurer, has written to Tax Payers' Association of California the following letter. Mr. Richardson emphasizes the fact that there is no need at this time to add new sources of taxation to the State revenue system, and declares that this is the time to practice economy. "In response to your inquiry regarding State finances and plans for increasing revenues, may I submit the following for your consideration: "California is a great state, rich in resources and production. The state treasury last year handled one hundred million dollars. This is a vast sum. Within a few years the expenses of the state have greatly increased. This question now confronts the people: Shall new sources of revenue be sought out in order to increase the receipts of the state? "I would answer this question in the negative. Vast as are the receipts of the state, there must be a limit some- Family Washing SAVE your wife the drudgery of the washtub by sending us your family washing.

If the state's revenues were increased, say, ten million dollars, I venture the prophecy that the new demands made upon the treasury by state departments, state institutions and private interests seeking to pose as public, would, if not resisted, gobble it up in a short time. "The individual must, if he avoids insolvency, live within his income. Many people desire but few can afford to ride in Pierce Arrows. The state is no different from an individual. The champagne appetite of the pre-prohibition era must be avoided by the state: The state has not an unlimited fund to draw upon. State thrift is as necessary as individual thrift. "Now is the time to call a halt on state expenses. If new sources of revenue are found, the fight of those who believe in a wise and economical expenditure of state funds will only be made harder, and the greed of those who look upon the state to finance their private scheme will be greater. "If your association desires to limit state expenditures to wise, humane and sensible purposes, you must make your stand now. While I am an optimist, still I must warn of the apparent financial danger of the future, when the artificial prosperity created by the war has ended. There are trying times ahead and now is the time to preach economy for the state, the city, the county, and also the individual." The law should be amended so as to provide for a scientific budget system to replace the present biennial orgy of reckless legislative appropriations." Japan is said to have invited China to enter a "parley" for the return of Shantung. If Japan wants to return Shantung, it will not be necessary to "parley," will it?
