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 AMERICAN PRESIDENT WANTED One of the strangest and most inexplicable movements on the checkerboard of politics in this campaign is the organization within the republican party of Hoover clubs, which are seeking to force the nomination at the Chicago convention of Herbert Hoover for the presidency, or perchance failing that to deliver their votes to the democratic party should Mr. Hoover be its candidate. Just now loyal Americans of both parties are combining to fight for the preservation of America for Americans and to save us from a maudlin socialistic internationalism which seeks to deny us the right of self-government and place us absolutely at the mercy of a council of jealous foreigners dominated by Great Britain. But these men and women, presumably patriotic Americans and claiming to be republicans, are so far out of sympathy with the America for Americans slogan that they seek to reach across the sea, pluck an Englishman from his office in London and place him in the presidential chair at Washington. Herbert Hoover is not an American save by birth. He left this country twenty years ago when but a callow $550 per year, and many were employed at $400, and some even as low as $350 per year. In the State of Alabama, last year, the average wage of school teachers was but $470, or less than $10 per week, for men, and $312 for women. In the schools for colored children, the salary was but $179 per year. It is a positive disgrace for any community in the United States to pay such niggardly salaries, or even twice such amounts. There never was any valid reason why women should be asked to perform equal work in the American schools with men for unequal pay. The art of teaching should be considered one of the most honored in this republic today, as in no other vocation has one such an opportunity to influence the lives of the children of today who will be in control of the government tomorrow. The attitude of the general public toward the school teacher is not all that it should be, and when this fact is considered in conjunction with the meager compensation, is it any wonder that there are thousands of teachers seeking other ways of earning a living. The honest, conscientious school teacher is a wonderful asset to any community, and should be more highly respected and paid than they are at this time. Honesty and morality are of more vital importance in the school room than academic education, as the child is dominated by the instructor. While California educators receive larger salaries than those mentioned there should be a general advance. When a Mexican who is unable to This stately White 1000 tons was sunken outside Lough Swil Ireland. At the time the fate, either by torture was being used as er, and on the fact was to prove her life of the richest cargo the shores of Great Bound for America addition to a valuable her strong room million pounds steer in specie. The gold of bars nine inches broad, and two inch of which was valued. The once stately twenty-one fathoms time elapsed ere and the vast wealth in made. About Aprilly ordered operation bullion to be common ship was easily located 100 feet down in nooring Highter V gaged in reclaiming wrecked Laurentica. Owing to the strength the presence of Genius that quarter, the op suspended after a t gold to the extent o pounds sterling haw from the ocean bed. When work was a sunken White Star mander Damant, R. Ship Corysea, process wreck. Their report be well worth while the task of reclaiming Great Britain. But these men and women, presumably patriotic Americans and claiming to be republicans, are so far out of sympathy with the America for Americans slogan that they seek to reach across the sea, pluck an Englishman from his office in London and place him in the presidential chair at Washington. Herbert Hoover is not an American save by birth. He left this country twenty years ago when but a callow youth ignorant of the ways of the world, and all the days of his manhood were spent in foreign lands, imbibing foreign ideas. He is a man of great wealth, all of which has been accumulated through British enterprises under the British flag. He is an Englishman by residence, is an Englishman by business affiliations, and is English in his sentiments. By his own admission he is ignorant of American affairs and knows nothing about the issues that divide the parties except that he favors President Wilson's iridescent dream of turning our government over to the tender mercies of our loving friends in Europe, who would rend us to pieces and quarrel among themselves over the fragments if they had the power. Furthermore, it is evident, judging from his own confession, that Hoover will not support the republican ticket at next November's election. In a recent statement outlining his position he declared that he was not familiar enough with American affairs to justify his alignment with any party at the present time, but would wait until the platforms were promulgated, then make his choice. As he is a creature of Woodrow Wilson this means he will not support the party that refuses to accept Wilson's League of Nations scheme. It is certain—as certain as anything can be that is still hidden in the misty future, that the Chicago convention will stand for pure Americanism and repudiate Wilson's program of an international government for the United States, therefore it is already apparent that Hoover will not accept the Chicago platform. It would be rather awkward for the republicans if their candidate for the presidency should repudiate their platform and vote the democratic ticket. In almost every campaign there is a wonderful asset to any community, and should be more highly respected and paid than they are at this time. Honesty and morality are of more vital importance in the school room than academic education, as the child is dominated by the instructor. While California educators receive larger salaries than those mentioned there should be a general advance. When a Mexican who is unable to speak the English language can earn more money in this country than many teachers who have spent several years and considerable money in preparing for this work, there is an existing condition which requires the immediate attention of the school authorities of California. It is an astonishing fact that the school teacher is about the only professional person in the land who is not compensated for what he knows. A lawyer will often charge his client more for a few days' service than a teacher earns in a year, and yet the client and attorney would probably object to any marked advance in the salary of the teachers in the public schools who are instructing their children. A surgeon frequently chages more for an operation which requires but a few hours of his time than a teacher earns in a calendar year, and yet that surgeon probably thinks that the school teachers are being fully paid for their services. Under existing conditions no experienced teacher should be asked to work for less than $1200 per year, and there should be a big advance all along the line in the schools of this state, until the profession is placed upon a higher plane, where it belongs. Some persons think that on account of the school day week and year being comparatively short ones that teachers earn no more than they are receiving. Does anyone object to the judge, who draws from five to ten times as much as the teacher and holds court a few hours a day, and adjourns for a week or two any time he desires to go on a vacation to attend to private business? The district attorneys of the various counties of California are paid several times as much as are the teacher is a wonderful asset to any community, and should be more highly respected and paid than they are at this time.

It would be rather awkward for the republicans if their candidate for the presidency should repudiate their platform and vote the democratic ticket. In almost every campaign there is a certain element in the republican party that wanders off after strange gods, following the promise of a dream and seeking the unattainable. When their eyes are opened these people always return and spend the balance of their days apologizing for their dereliction, but the republicans who are striving to head the national ticket with an Englishman will have a difficult job squaring themselves with the party hereafter. The democrats who know it would be suicide to run a straight democrat who would be unable to escape responsibility for the present administration, may make a freak nomination, but the Chicago convention will nominate a true blue American, schooled in American statesmanship, and imbued with American ideas. INADEQUATE PAY OF TEACHERS A recent issue of a New York publication comments on the fact that a large number of schools in rural communities of Eastern states have been closed on account of the inadequate pay of teachers. It is cited that in 1918 there were in the State of New York 2000 teachers who received only comparatively short ones that teachers earn no more than they are receiving. Does anyone object to the judge, who draws from five to ten times as much as the teacher and holds court a few hours a day, and adjourns for a week or two any time he desires to go on a vacation to attend to private business? The district attorneys of the various counties of California are paid several times as much as are the teachers in the schools, and yet they retain their private business, and no one objects. The school teachers perform far greater public services than do these high salaried officials, and they deserve a greater reward than they are receiving. No matter what the hours in the class-room may be, the time of the honest teacher is fully required for successful work, and he should be paid on that basis. GET FIFTEEN MILLIONS FROM SUNKEN STEAMER Steamship Laurentic Yielding Rich Harvest to Divers. Many thrilling and dramatic incidents are associated with the saving of merchant vessels sunk around the coasts of Britain. In this unique article John C. MacDonald, who has been engaged in salving many cargoes and vessels, including German submarines, furnishes graphic details which have not hitherto been given to the public. The richest cargo that ever lay on ocean's bed is being salvied from the S. S. Laurentic. It includes bars of pure gold to the value of $35,000,000. "The Commonweak engaged in an investigation under which formia obtain credit forage loans or upon with or without security." "The object of the certain, if possible, workers of the state can any change in our specially whether the ing rural loans, and loans, which are in the nature of Europe, or of them, are practiced formia conditions." ANAHEIM GAZETTE This stately White Star liner of 20,000 tons was sunk about three miles outside Lough Swilly, off the coast of Ireland. At the time the Laurentic met her fate, either by torpedo or mine, she was being used as an auxiliary cruiser, and on the fateful voyage which was to prove her last she carried one of the richest cargoes which ever left the shores of Great Britain. Bound for America, the Laurentic, in addition to a valuable cargo, carried in her strong room no less than seven million pounds sterling worth of gold in specie. The gold was in the form of bars nine inches long, four inches broad, and two inches thick, every one of which was valued at $7,500. The once stately liner sank in twenty-one fathoms of water, but some time elapsed ere any efforts to reclaim the vast wealth in her hold could be made. About April, 1917, the Admiralty ordered operations for salving the bullion to be commenced. The great ship was easily located, although over 100 feet down in the deep, and the nooring lighter Volunteer was engaged in reclaiming the gold from the wrecked Laurentic. Owing to the stress of weather and the presence of German submarines in that quarter, the operations had to be suspended after a time, but not before gold to the extent of about one million pounds sterling had been recovered from the ocean bed. When work was again started on the sunken White Star leviathan, Commander Damant, R. N., on the Salvage Ship Corysea, proceeded to survey the wreck. Their report was that it would be well worth while proceeding with the task of reclaiming the bullion. "For the information of those not familiar with European methods of rural loans, the following may be stated: "Methods vary considerably, but the following is typical: Mortgage loans often, and perhaps usually, made for what we should consider small amounts by village co-operative banks whose capital and deposits are mostly supplied by the members. None but members can borrow. All the property of all the members is pledged for the payment of all loans and there is little or no exemption of property from execution as with us. No member can be admitted except by vote of the membership. The average holding of members of these associations is less than 20 acres and probably less than 15 acres. "These mortgage loans usually run from 20 to 50 years, or even more, with the privilege of payment wholly or in part at any time or upon any interest date. From one-half of one per cent to two per cent of the loan is added to the interest and paid each year. A payment on the principal of something over one per cent a year will extinguish the loan in about 33 years. This process is called 'amortization'—a word which means 'to kill off.'" "These mortgage notes are pledged by the co-operative bank to a larger bank for more money with which to make more loans, and the bank, on a still larger bank to which it sells them, deposits them with a trustee and against them issues its own long time bonds, which are marketed on the exchanges and through banks like government, railroad and other securities. They are largely held by the thrifty in all parts of Europe. In this assessment shall remain unpaid on the 30th day of April, 1920, will be delinquent and advertised for sale at public auction, and unless payment is made before, will be sold on Monday the 19th day of April, 1920, to pay the delinquency assessment."

NOTICE ASSESSMENT Anaheim Products Company, formerly Union Brewing Company of Anaheim. Location of principal place of business: Anaheim, Orange County, California. Location of works: Anaheim, Orange County, California. Notice is hereby given that at a meeting of the Board of Directors, held on the 24th day of February, 1920, an assessment of Five ($5.00) Dollars per share, or five per cent (5%) on each One Hundred ($100.00) Dollars, was levied upon the subscribed capital stock of this corporation, payable immediately in United States gold coin to the Secretary of said corporation at its office at No. 1030 West Broadway, in the City of Anaheim, Orange County, California. Any stock upon which this assessment shall remain unpaid on the 30th day of April, 1920, will be delinquent and advertised for sale at public auction, and unless payment is made before, will be sold on Monday the 19th day of April, 1920, to pay the delinquency assessment. INVESTIGATING FEDERAL FARM LOANS The Commonwealth Club of California, a power in the advancement of civic and state interests, is making investigation as to federal farm loans, or, rather, various proposed systems of financing the farmers of the state, with especial reference to long time loans with amortization features. To the end that it may have more definite information for its Section on Rural Credits, it is sending out a blank requesting information from farm operators. It is asking as to whether the one reporting is owner or tenant; number of acres cultivated; rate of interest on mortgage and commercial loans, and period for which loans are usu- These mortgage notes are pledged by the co-operative bank to a larger bank for more money with which to make more loans, and the bank, on a still larger bank to which it sells them, deposits them with a trustee and against them issues its own long time bonds, which are marketed on the exchanges and through banks like government, railroad and other securities. They are largely held by the thrifty in all parts of Europe. In this way a lower rate of interest can be obtained than by any other method. "Another means by which money is saved to the original borrower is the nominal expense of conducting the original cooperative banks. The village doctor or schoolmaster often conducts the bank in his own house, attending there once or twice a week to take in and pay out money, a service for which he receives a trifling compensation. The loans are made by a committee. "Short time loans—often made to tenants—on such security as can be given or upon no security except known competence and character. These loans are made only for specific purposes named in the application and can be used only for those purposes. They are for small sum and are usually payable at harvest time. The 'bank' is safe, for all members are responsible for payment of all loans. "The question is whether we can do anything of this kind in California, or whether any modification of this plan can be devised to suit our conditions, and in particular can a world wide market be made for mortgage bonds issued upon the pledge of long time amortized loans made on farms, especially small farms. "There are at present being considered two distinct rural credit systems, as follows: "The plan of establishing a new system of rural co-operative banks, which in turn are to establish a sytsem of central banks and these in turn are to establish a rural national bank with headquarters in Washington, D.C. These banks are to market land mortgage bonds that are to be issued against the mortgages taken on the lands of farmers. It is estimated that by this system long term mortgages repayable in annual installments can levied upon the subscribed capital stock of this corporation, payable immediately in United States gold coin to the Secretary of said corporation at its office at No. 1030 West Broadway, in the City of Anaheim, Orange County, California. Any stock upon which this assessment shall remain unpaid on the 30th day of April, 1920, will be delinquent and advertised for sale at public auction, and unless payment is made before, will be sold on Monday the 19th day of April, 1920, to pay the delinquent assessment, together with the cost of advertising and expenses of sale.

ASKIN IS CAPTAIN OF NATIONAL GUARD Evan Miller is Chosen First Lieutenant and W. P. Webb, Jr., Second Lieut. The committee which was appointed by the Board of Trade to name officers for the local company of the National Guard came to a final decision yesterday. The committee, (Dr. Johnston, Messrs. Riley, Jessuru n. Hester and Whitaker), after considering the situation very carefully have decided to place the destinies of the local company in the hands of Captain Thomas Askin, First Lieut. Evan Miller and Second Lieut. Wm. P. Webb, Jr. Captain Askin has had a similar experience with Company F of the South Dakota National Guard. Lieut. Miller took the course at one of the officers' training camps during the recent war, and the experience he gained there will be a valuable asset to the members of the local company. Lieut Webb has seen service in France during the war and will be a valuable acquisition. A number of local men who have seen service have expressed themselves as ready to help the new organization in any way they are able, and from all reports, Anaheim has every reason to expect a National Guard organization which will be a distinct credit to this city, and to the individuals who have sponsored it. As soon as the men chosen by the Board of Trade committee have been duly authorized by the Adj. General with especial reference to long time loans with amortization features. To the end that it may have more definite information for its Section on Rural Credits, it is sending out a blank requesting information from farm operators. It is asking as to whether the one reporting is owner or tenant; number of acres cultivated; rate of interest on mortgage and commercial loans, and period for which loans are usually made; is a longer time than has usually been granted desirable; is it best to pay loan gradually or in a lump sum; are farm loans usually made by banks or private loaners; what proportion of farmers is carried by storekeepers and commission men; what is the usual expense necessary in order to secure or renew loan; would you yourself borrow and extend farming operations under better loan conditions; do you think an association could be formed where members pledge their properties as in Europe, etc. These and many other questions are accompanied by a circular from which we quote: "The Commonwealth Club is engaged in an investigation of the conditions under which farmers of California obtain credit either upon mortgage loans or upon short time loans, with or without security. "The object of the study is to ascertain, if possible, whether the farmers of the state can be benefitted by any change in our methods, and especially whether the methods of making rural loans, and especially small loans, which are in use on the continent of Europe, or any modification of them, are practicable under California conditions." "The plan of establishing a new system of rural co-operative banks, which in turn are to establish a syftem of central banks and these in turn are to establish a rural national bank with headquarters in Washington, D.C. These banks are to market land mortgage bonds that are to be issued against the mortgages taken on the lands of farmers. It is estimated that by this system long term mortgages repayable in annual installments can be provided at an interest to the borrower of about six per cent per annum. "A system of credit associations (known as the Weinstock plan), formed of neighborhood farmers who would issue long term land mortgage bonds against mortgages on their land, but who would find a ready market for them through such existing local bank as might be chosen by the United States postal savings department as a depository for proposed term postal deposits which are to be used by such existing local bank for the purchase of such land mortgage bonds, repayable in small annual installments. It is estimated that by this second plan the interest chargeable to the farmer would be abutot four per cent per annum." William Jennings Bryan is making quite a fuss in Democratic circles. What's the use of raising a row at a wake? F. Keallher, who has a warehouse in Garden Grove, has handled 500 tons of ground peppers. The latter are for both domestic use and also for chicken feed. A number of local men who have seen service have expressed themselves as ready to help the new organization in any way they are able, and from all reports, Anaheim has every reason to expect a National Guard organization which will be a distinct credit to this city, and to the individuals who have sponsored it. As soon as the men chosen by the Board of Trade committee have been duly authorized by the Adj. General of the State, action will commence for the enrollment of men for the company. Those interested are requested to follow the local newspapers for information as to developments. Secretary Whitaker or any of the above-mentioned officers will gladly give information at any time over the phone or at their several places of business. Beco Lan Franco, formerly pitcher for Riley's Tigers and now with Berger's Cubs, will play in the Pacific Coast League next season. He has signed up with the Vernon team. Everybody who knows Beck expected him to get into fast company, and his many friends here will watch his career with much interest. Nearly all of the land adjoining the sewer farm at Fullerton has been leased by oil companies, it became known at the meeting of the Fullerton board of trustees when the proposition came up to lease the farm to a grower of rhubarb. These leases were quietly picked up, it is understood, and no doubt there will be several wildcat holes started in that district.
