HIGHER SALARIES FOR COUNTY TEACHERS MINIMUM FOR ELEMENTARY TEACHERS FIXED AT $1200 INSTEAD OF $900 Trustees of County Agree Upon Scale Raising Pay $300 Per Year—Also Favor Parental School at County Farm for Correction of Incorrigible Pupils Orange county's elementary school teachers will next year receive an average increase in their yearly wage of approximately $300 as the result of steps taken Thursday at the county convention of elementary and high school trustees held at Santa Ana. A motion was also adopted raising the salary of high school teachers to a minimum of $1500, but final action on this recommendation will have to be taken by the various high school boards of the county before it becomes effective. The increase in elementary teachers' salaries comes through the adoption of a minimum wage scale of $1200. According to City School Superintendent John A. Cranston, of Santa Ana, the average wage of elementary teachers at this time is about $900. NO EXCUSE TO CANCEL BRITISH LOAN Those people who have manifested deep concern lest the United States collect interest on its loans to the allies, will find food for thought in a recent review of the financial situation in Great Britain as published in the British Board of Trade Journal. This is a government publication and presumably states the situation in Great Britain with accuracy. According to the Board of Trade Journal, the British indebtedness to other nations is $6,813,100,000, against which Great Britain has loaned to the Dominions and the Allies, $8,462,843,500, showing Great Britain a net world creditor and not a net world debtor, although it must be admitted that many of her credits will not be productive of an annual return at present. Great Britain has been the heaviest borrower from the United States and it is in the interest of Great Britain that some people have suggested that the United States defer or abandon collection of interest on our credits. Some have gone so far as to suggest that we cancel the debt entirely. A review of a few pertinent facts is therefore timely. The balance in merchandise trade has been against Great Britain for many years. The balance in merchandise trade has also been in favor of the United States, with very slight exceptions. But merchandise trade is not all of the business of a nation and its people. There are what the British Board of Trade Journal calls "invisible exports," that is, services rendered for which other countries pay and which counterbalance any adverse excess of imports of merchandise. In the past, several of friction have been whether there will be ties is not known and not be known until the test. The riders guard pretty closely and if visited a new friction he fact strictly to himself. Entries for the event must be in on- or before the last meeting of the this month, which will be & Buck's shop in this citing of Tuesday, March. The entry fee has been and prizes will total Those who enter will tion the evening of M meeting of the club no A number of the m club will go down to Capistrano to do work and lay out lines for crowd expected on the day. Motorcycle fans from a few from the east come south for the event. The increase in elementary teachers' salaries comes through the adoption of a minimum wage scale of $1200. According to City School Superintendent John A. Cranston, of Santa Ana, the average wage of elementary teachers at this time is about $900. The increase to high school teachers will be less than that in the elementary system, the average wage in the high schools at the present time being around $1400. Increases in teachers' salaries are made possible through a recommendation recently made by County Superintendent R. P. Mitchell to the board of supervisors for a raise in the tax rate for elementary schools of 10 cents on the $100 and an increase in the high school rate of five cents on the $100. This will provide the county with sufficient funds to meet the proposed increases. A resolution was adopted by the convention urging the board to make the increases suggested by Mitchell. Next to the increases in salaries, the trustees look upon the adoption by the county of a parental school as the most important topic to come before the convention. Superintendent Craston says the county is greatly in need of a correctional institution of this kind to take care of the large and increasing number of incorrigible children who will not attend the public schools. Craston suggests the county farm as an excellent site for such a school. He says it is necessary for the county to adopt an institution of this kind because of the over-crowded condition of such schools as Whittier, Ione and George Junior Republic, where incorrigible children are usually sent. W. M. Clayton, vice principal of Santa Ana high school, addressed the convention on the vocational or part-time school system which goes into effect on July 1. This is a compulsory educational system under the terms of which each boy or girl between the ages of 16 and 17 years who has not graduated from high school is compelled to attend school for at least four hours each week for a term of one year. This plan is pointed out as one of the best that has been adopted in the Americanization campaign now spread- has been against Great Britain for many years. The balance in merchandise trade has also been in favor of the United States, with very slight exceptions. But merchandise trade is not all of the business of a nation and its people. There are what the British Board of Trade Journal calls "invisible exports," that is, services rendered for which other countries pay and which counterbalance any adverse excess of imports of merchandise. For instance, according to the Board of Trade Journal, prior to the war the annual balance of merchandise trade against Great Britain was about $650,-000,000. But Great Britain was the carrying nation of the world, owning practically one-half of the merchant tonnage on the high seas. Great Britain was the banking nation of the world and collected toll from practically all international transactions. Great Britain was the insuring nation of the world and collected premiums on practically all of the marine insurance as well as on other classes of property. Great Britain furnished much capital for loans or investments in other countries and collected annually huge sums in interest and dividends. Travelers who went from the Western Hemisphere to the Eastern Hemisphere passed through Great Britain. Tourists, although going to Continental Europe, made prolonged stays in the British Isles. All of these travelers added liberally to the income of the British nation. From all these services, designated as "invisible exports," Great Britain realized an income far in excess of her adverse merchandise balance, leaving her at the end of the year a large net income added to her financial resources. Passing over various items in the British analysis of the financial situation which confronts the United Kingdom, and looking at the estimates for 1920, we find the prediction that Great Britain will buy abroad goods to the amount of slightly more than $2,000,000,000 in excess of the goods she sells, but that, against this large import excess, the nation will have "invisible exports" to the amount of more than $3,000,000,000, leaving a balance of practically $1,000,000,000 on the right side of the ledger. There is apparently no occasion for Americans to lie awake nights worrying over the ability of Great Britain to take care of herself. As manager of the Growers Association and largest lemon association, E. B. Collier is fit that an adequate tariff on lemons or the imputed ruined. In order to secure a belief that this congress should send a Republican He concedes the nomination Diego. He is convinced Republicans can't unite that other counties ought to step in and do for them. "Unless the present half cent a pound on foot raised to an amount equivalent in cost of produce abroad, the California will ultimately fail" so cannot be otherwise. "We have had but one since ex-Senator Flint's a pound tariff was reduced half-cent rate. The year 1915. Few growers remember that they got their fruit that year. However, the growers fairly good returns for entirely to abnormal conditions by the World War." "The war is almost now and the California is going to find hfself yet unless a protective procured equal in ammunition it costs a Californi place his fruit on the market it costs the Italian grower fruit on the same mark." "The protective tariff total interest to the American man if he expects she ever work in the groves and it is to his interest to power to protect his elems or any other produced in foreign country labor." This is a compulsory educational system under the terms of which each boy or girl between the ages of 16 and 17 years who has not graduated from high school is compelled to attend school for at least four hours each week for a term of one year. This plan is pointed out as one of the best that has been adopted in the Americanization campaign now spreading over the country. It will force into the schools all children of foreign birth who have not completed their education, and it is expected to be a great factor in increasing the great amount of illiteracy uncovered during the war. Clayton has been appointed by the University of California to see to the carrying out of the provisions of the law in Orange county. Under the terms of the law Clayton is now one of the members of the faculty of the university. Arrangements for faster services on Reservoir Hill on April 4 are being made on behalf of the Fullerton board of trade, it was announced recently, the board having been encouraged by last year's service to make the observance an annual affair. Last year 242 automobiles were parked at the hill during the service and it is estimated nearly 1500 person's attended. This year's service will no doubt attract a still larger concourse. Committee chairmen for the April 4 event have been chosen as follows: Decorations, H. H. Tracy; flowers, Miss Anita Shepardson; music, Miss Helen Wishard; advertising, Miss May Vertrees. These four, together with Louis E. Plummer, form the program committee for the event. LARGE CROWD EXPECTED AT ANNUAL HILL CLIMB Capistrano Race This Year To Be Greatest in History With the annual Capistrano motorcycle hill climb, which has developed into a national event, the greatest in the world at that, with the national organization giving it official endorsement, only two weeks away, members of the Orange County Motorcycle club are gradually whipping all details of the big meet into shape. The contest is scheduled under the direction of the club, it having herefore been conducted by the motorcycle dealers of Orange county. Committees already have been appointed and everything is being done to make this the greatest race ever pulled off at the famous hill. The fame of this contest has spread all over the nation and into some parts of foreign countries, with the result that Orange county has gained considerable valuable advertising. Crowds attending the climb have varied in number from 6000 to 10,000 and a crowd exceeding all past records is expected on Sunday, April 4. Should it happen to be raining on that date the card will be run the following Sunday. Interest among riders is keen and it costs the Italian grower fruit on the same market. "The protective tariff interest to the American man if he expects the order to pay him from $3.50 work in the groves and it is to his interest that power to protect his elephants or any other produced in foreign country labor." "If the American procure tariff protection set the difference in living here and abroad course is to import chee or quit producing. would be as disastrous laboring man as to the ducer." "The only way to pro tion that is to pro time is to gradually infective tariff as the co goes back to a sound ege." "This, of course, will the people elect a pres gress on a free trade indications point to a history this fall. However have a Republican pre gress we certainly can protection for our lemons of we send a repres gress elected on a free." "Past experience has this congressional district successful candidate for from San Diego county party affiliations." "Would it not be be Riverside and San Benties to get together for good, square-shooting San Diego county rat mit a repetition of these years ago, thereby for county to show 'Bill'." some of the best known professionals are expected to participate in the program. There will be four events on the program, stock and special. Chief interest of the public is centered in the open event. In this individual rider is permitted to use his ingenuity in developing friction that will cause his motorbike to stick to the course and force its way over the steep incline. In the past, several novel methods of friction have been developed. Whether there will be any new novelties is not known and probably will not be known until the day of the contest. The riders guard their secrets pretty closely and if anyone has devised a new friction he is keeping that fact strictly to himself. Entries for the events on the card must be in on or before the date of the last meeting of the motorcycle club this month, which will be held at Buck & Buck's shop in this city on the evening of Tuesday, March 30. The entry fee has been placed at $5 and prizes will total about $300. Those who enter will draw for position the evening of March 30 at the meeting of the club next Sunday. A number of the members of the club will go down to the hill below Capistrano to do work on the course and lay out lines for controlling the crowd expected on the following Sunday. Motorcycle fans from the north and a few from the east are expected to come south for the event. LEMON TARIFF NEEDED As manager of the Central Lemon Growers Association at Villa Park, the would not be detrimental to his financial interests to run for congress again? "If it is left to the Republicans of San Diego to unite on a candidate I fear they will fail. There appears to be no lack of good men there for the office, but it appears to be as impossible for them to get together as it is to unscramble eggs. "I believe we should tell them whom we think is their best bet. "My interest in this matter lies wholly in what I consider necessary for the economic survival of the 260 growers whom I represent as manager of the Central Lemon Growers association, as well as the hundreds of lemon workers engaged in the lemon industry in California." CHARLES H. MANN SEEKS RE-ELECTION Announces His Candidacy for Trustee for the Two-Year Term—Has. Many Friends Back of Him In announcing his candidacy for the office of city trustee, Charles H. Mann has pleased a host of friends who look upon him as being amply qualified to sit at the council table and take part in the deliberations of the board. Mr. Mann possesses qualifications of a practical nature, especially regarding matters pertaining to the management of the power plant. Mann has been a member of the council for several months and as the saying goes, "has made good," and his many friends are rallying to his support now that he seeks re-election. CHAUTAUQUA COMING TO ANAHEIM MAY 8 LEMON TARIFF NEEDED As manager of the Central Lemon Growers Association at Villa Park, the largest lemon association in the county, E. B. Collier is firmly convinced that an adequate tariff must be placed on lemons or the industry will be ruined. In order to secure a higher tariff, he believes that this congressional district should send a Republican to congress. He concedes the nomination to San Diego. He is convinced that San Diego Republicans can't unite on a man, and that other counties of the district ought to step in and do the selecting for them. "Unless the present tariff of one-half cent a pound on foreign lemons is raised to an amount equal to the difference in cost of production here and abroad, the California lemon grower will ultimately fail" says Collier. "It cannot be otherwise. "We have had but one normal year since ex-Senator Flint's one-and-a-cent a pound tariff was reduced to the present half-cent rate. That was in the year 1915. Few growers will fail to remember that they got no returns for their fruit that year. Since that time, however, the growers have received fairly good returns for their fruit, due entirely to abnormal conditions occasioned by the World War. "The war is almost two years past now and the California lemon grower is going to find himself without a market unless a protective tariff can be procured equal in amount to the difference it costs a California grower to place his fruit on the market and what it costs the Italian grower to place his fruit on the same market. "The protective tariff is also of vital interest to the American laboring man if he expects the California grower to pay him from $3.50 to $5 a day for work in the groves and packing houses. It is to his interest to do all in his power to protect his employer against lemons or any other commodity produced in foreign countries by cheaper labor." CHAUTAUQUA COMING TO ANAHEIM MAY 8 Program of High Class Entertainment To Be Given Here The first announcement of the 1920 Chautauqua program indicates that attractions to be presented are of the same high standard which has characterized Ellison-White programs in the past. Music, lecture and entertainment lovers apparently have much in store for them during the week of the Chautauqua dates for May 8 to 14. A lecture event of unusual importance is announced in the coming of Stefansson, the noted Arctic explorer and discoverer of the "blonde Eskimo." He comes to the Chautauqua platform for the first time this season and brings a remarkable illustrated lecture on his great explorations in the Polar Seas. Other lecturers of prominence are: Hon. C. H. Poole, member of parliament from New Zealand; Judge Fred G. Bale, of Ohio; Carlton Chamberlayne, prominent editor of New York; Julius Caesar Nayphe, a brilliant young Athenian with a spectacular costumed lecture on the Orient; G. Whitefield Ray, F.R.G.S., for fourteen years on exploration work in South America, and E. B. Fish, the famed foe of agitators in the northwest. A feature attraction which varies from the regular line of Chautauqua events is the production of the big New York dramatic success, "Kindling," by Maurice Browne Players on the fifth night. After several years of band concerts this will undoubtedly be a welcome change to most Chautauqua fans. The music gives promise of an interesting week. Mary Adel Hays, the New York Soprano, whom Ellison-White brought to the south and west in 1919, is to return again. This year she comes as soloist with Raul Pereira, the Portuguese violinist and his string quintet. An outstanding musical event rests in the announcement of the Royal amended, mercantile industry; No. 6, amended in 1919, fish canning industry; No. 7, amended in 1919, laundry and dry cleaning industry; No. 8, amended in 1919, fruit and vegetable packing industry; No. 9, amended in 1919, general and professional officers; No. 10, amended in 1919, unskilled and unclassified occupations; No. 11, amended in 1919, manufacturing industries; No. 12 hotels and restaurants; No. 13, sanitary orders for mercantile establishments. it costs the Italian grower to place his fruit on the same market. "The protective tariff is also of vital interest to the American laboring man if he expects the California grower to pay him from $3.50 to $5 a day for work in the groves and packing houses. It is to his interest to do all in his power to protect his employer against lemons or any other commodity produced in foreign countries by cheaper labor. "If the American producer cannot secure tariff protection adequate to offset the difference in the standard of living here and abroad, his only course is to import cheap foreign labor or quit producing. Either course would be as disastrous to the American laboring man as to the American producer. "The only way to meet the condition that is to prevail in normal times is to gradually increase the protective tariff as the country in general goes back to a sound economic basis. "This, of course, will not be done if the people elect a president and congress on a free trade platform. All indications point to a Republican victory this fall. However, even if we have a Republican president and congress we certainly cannot expect tariff protection for our lemons, beans, etc., of we send a representative to congress elected on a free trade platform. "Past experience has taught us in this congressional district that the successful candidate for congress comes from San Diego county regardless of party affiliations. "Would it not be better for Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties to get together and endorse a good, square-shooting Republican from San Diego county rather than to permit a repetition of the fiasco of four years ago, thereby forcing San Diego county to show 'Bill' Kettner that it The music gives promise of an interesting week. Mary Adel Hays, the New York Soprano, whom Ellison White brought to the south and west in 1919, is to return again. This year she comes as soloist with Raul Pereira, the Portuguese violinist and his string quintet. An outstanding musical event rests in the announcement of the Royal Welsh Lady Singers, of Wales, Great Britain. This company has toured the world and is a sterling singing organization. On the second day a native Alaskan girl, who has set the musical world talking, is presented in the person of Lona Laska, a member of the Alaska Duo. The Parnells is another musical company coming with fine recommendations from the east. The closing attraction of the week is a double program known as "An Evening in the South Seas," featuring a group of Maori singers, the only organization of its kind in America, with a lecture on New Zealand by Leila Blomfield, writer and lecturer of that country, illustrated with official government views. WORKING HOURS FOR WOMEN Working hours for women and minors will be among other things up for discussion and consideration at a public hearing by the industrial commission of the state to be held in San Francisco Wednesday. The hearing will be held in the court room of Department Two, Superior Court, city hall, commencing at 8 a.m. The purpose of the hearing is to consider alteration and amendment of orders No. 3, amended 1919, fruit and vegetable canning industry; No. 4, amended, sanitary order for laundry and manufacturing industries; No. 5, amended in 1919, fish canning industry; No. 7, amended in 1919, laundry and dry cleaning industry; No. 8, amended in 1919, fruit and vegetable packing industry; No. 9, amended in 1919, general and professional officers; No. 10, amended in 1919, unskilled and unclassified occupations; No. 11, amended in 1919, manufacturing industries; No. 12 hotels and restaurants; No. 13, sanitary orders for mercantile establishments. These orders concern a minimum wage to be paid to women and minors engaged in the said industries in the state; the maximum of hours consistent with the health and welfare of women and minors engaged in the industries; the standard conditions of labor demanded by the health and welfare of women and minors engaged in the industries. Parties directly interested in these subjects, as well as those who are not directly interested, are invited to attend the meeting. PAYS $400 FINE ON FAKE TREE CHARGE R. E. Franke, Santa Ana nurseryman, is minus $400 as the result of entering pleas of guilty to two charges of selling nursery stock not true to name. Complaints were filed against Franke by George W. Sloop, deputy horticultural commissioner, following the sale of stock by Franke to Clate Stanfield and J. Dick Wilson, of Santa Ana. George H. Hecke, state director of agriculture, was informed by County Horticultural Commissioner Earl L. Morris of the action taken in the Franke case. Any further steps in the case are now up to state authorities. The two fines were assessed against Franke by Justice Cox after Franke is said to have admitted the selling of 20 apricot trees to George Ketscher, The Corner Stone of Steady Progress" THE ANAHEIM NATIONAL BANK With the scope and activity of each department of this Bank broadened through its membership in the Federal Reserve System, it is ready to cooperate in every possible way to make local business safer, better and bigger—and we are prepared to render you exactly the service your interests demand. operate in every possible way to make local business fer, better and bigger—and we are prepared to render you exactly the service your interests demand.
