INTERNATIONALISM WHICH IS ANTI-AMERICANISM It is perhaps not unnatural that, as the result of the speeches and policies of President Wilson, the idea has become prevalent throughout the entire world that the United States government exists not for the purpose as expressed in the American Constitution, of promoting the general welfare of the people of this country, but as a sort of valet for the rest of the world. We have been making sacrifices for the rest of the world. We have been making sacrifices in behalf of civilization in general, and have just emerged from a war which poured out blood and treasure with a generosity unparalleled in history.

A. DOLAN (Pres.) J. W. DUCKWORTH (V. P.) J. H. WENTS (V. P.) view of the fact that we did not expect to ask for a penny of the indemnity or a foot of the territory from the conquered foe. But some way it seems to be believed, especially by the representatives and domestic partisans of the powers which have taken over Germany's colonies and a blanket mortgage on whatever the conquered nation has left, that such sacrifices only established title to the perpetual sacrifice of American interests in order that other nations may be promoted and prospered. Recently the lime' industry of the Pacific Northwest has been asking for protection from the destructive competition of the Chinese produced lime of British Columbia. Under our present tariff law lime and limestone are admitted into this country free of duty. This schedule was adopted over the protest of American producers who forewow the disastrous effect of unrestricted competition with Canadian industry which employes labor at a figure below the American wage standard. In view of the present talk about the danger of retaliation, following the elevation of our tariff, it is interesting to note the effect of this reduction in our lime tariff. Canada promptly slapped a duty of 15 to 30 per cent on raw limestone, lime and 17 1-2 per cent on the value of a package containing it, with a provision that these rates could be increased at any time by the mere formality of an order in the council. Today the quarries and lime plants of the Puget Sound territory are 80 per cent idle as the result of this deadly arrangement. The Canadian producer is additionally encouraged to take over the American market by rates of exchange which put a premium on American as campared with cheaper protest against the imposition of a tariff on the foreign product! Imagine and American manufacturer appearing before the British or German governmental authorities to protest against a tariff schedule framed for the benefit of the industry of the country affected because as in the case of the Canadian tariff, it would adversely affect the producers of this country! Recently the Rotary Club of Havana presented a memorial to President Menocle suggesting a protest against the proposed tariff for the protection of the American sugar industry on the ground that it would adversely affect Cuban sugar interests. A bulletin issued by an export association in Washington says: "While the communication itself does not suggest recourse to reprisal action, it is believed that such an action would not be overlooked as a last means of preventing the United States from adopting a tariff on sugar that would materially affect the Cuban sugar interests." Here is the case of a government which owes its existence to the United States and stability to the action of the United States, and which we have treated with a consideration and generosity without parallel in history, asked to take the ground that American tariff laws should be framed not in the interest of the American but of the Cuban people! Every government in the world frames its fiscal laws in the interests of its own people. The only exception to-day is the United States, which has a Democratic party committed to the theory that for the American government to foster and encourage and upbuild American industries would be contrary to Democratic party principles formulated in a day when its leaders hoped to make of this nation a permanent agricultural dependency of Europe, employing slave BILLIONS IN PENSIONS PAID BY REPUBLICANS $6,616,400 Given By Government To Survivors of Civil War and Their Dependents During its term of governmental power the Republican party paid out in pensions to the veterans of the wars participated in by 'The Republic a grand total of $6,616,664,000. This includes the $265,000,000 provided in the bill for the year ending June 30, 1922, but does not include $1,600,000 for the maintenance of the Bureau of Pensions, $5,000,000 for the soldiers' homes, $1,000,000 for aid to State homes, $10,000,000 for the maintenance of a Bureau of War Risk, $160,000,000 compensation for death and disability paid out by that Bureau, $46,000,000 for medical and hospital services, and $78,000,000 for the Federal Board of Vocational Education. Altogether the government has paid to pensioners of the War of the Revolution $70,000,000, of the War of 1912 a total of $46,070,413, of Indian Wars, $18,452,059, of the War with Mexico $53,582,977, of the Civil War $5,502,445,815, of the War with Spain and the Philippine Insurrection $69,-835,765, of the regular Army establishment $53,846,229, and of World War $74,010. The great pension policy of the Government rose out of Lincoln's plea to "blind up the nations wounds, to car for the widow and the orphan." In 1886, the Republican party being then in full control of the Government $15,857,714 was appropriated for 126,-722 pensioners. For twenty-three years after the Civil War, while the veterans of it remained able to do the work of active life, the amount and number arose only very steadily until in 1889 only $92,309,688 was paid out MINISTER County Asst Orange the lead owe the West religious t if a comm ing ope of ther minds upon movement Rev.

Today the quarries and lime plants of the Puget Sound territory are 80 per cent idle as the result of this deadly arrangement. The Canadian producer is additionally encouraged to take over the American market by rates of exchange which put a premium on American as campared with Canadian prices, and by cheaper freight rates through shipments in foreign bottoms to our ports. It is worthy of note that all this has not helped the American consumer a nickle's worth. The middlemen have continued to buy cheaper than they could buy the American product, but they have continued to charge the consumer all the market would bear. All this is of general interest because it tells the story of what has happened not only in the lime but in other American industries affected by foreign competition. Recently when the hearing on Schedule B including lime and limestone, was in progress before the House Ways and Means committee of the British Columbia lime interests to Every government in the world frames its fiscal laws in the interests of its own people. The only exception to-day is the United States, which has a Democratic party committed to the theory that for the American government to foster and encourage and upbuild American industries would be contrary to Democratic party principles formulated in a day when its leaders hoped to make of this nation a permanent agricultural dependency of Europe, employing slave labor and because of such labor's cheapness, defying world competition. Canada's twenty-three per cent tariff was not written to promote the prosperity of the United States. As soon as Democratic leadership struck down the American protective policy, Canada proceeded to enact the stiffest protective tariff the government ever put into effect. The idea that if we write our tariff laws for the benefit of our own people we will involve reprisals is "rot." Other nations will continue to buy where they can buy to the best advantage, and impose such tariffs as they believe will best promote their own prosperity. In the future, as in the past, this will continue to be the only country in the world supporting a political party committed to the doctrine that it is the duty of this government to provide business and employment abroad at the sacrifice of business and employment at home. WHEN A HEN LAYS If a hen lays 120 eggs in a year how are they distributed through the various months? This, too, is a question of averages. Knowing that the average hen does her best laying in March and April and her poorest in October and November, it is not difficult with the figures for monthly production of a large number of hens over several years to calculate the average lay for each month. The lay assumed on this chart is: January 8.25; February 12; March 15.75; April 16.75; May 15.55; June 12; July 11; August 9; September 6.25; October 4; November 3.25; December 5.35. These figures are important only in case a producer wishes to figure his profits by the month, but they are interesting as showing just what is to be expected from month to month. An average lay of 16 or 17 eggs in April is not large. Most commercial poultrymen expect a bred-to-lay hen to do better The great pension policy of the Government rose out of Lincoln's plea to "bind up the nations wounds, to car for the widow and the orphan." In 1886, the Republican party being then in full control of the Government $15,857,714 was appropriated for 126,-722 pensioners. For twenty-three years after the Civil War, while the veterans of it remained able to do the work of active life, the amount and number arose only very steadily until in 1889 only $92,309,688 was paid out in pensions to 489,725 veterans. In 1890, however, the amount went to $109,620,232 and from then on it steadily increased in number to 999,-446 pensioners in 1902 and to$176,714,-997 in amount in 1913. By this time the veterans were becoming feeble and the party which had successfully carried through the war to free the slaves and save the Union was taking care of them. As the last of the veterans needed the most help, in 1919 the amount for the first time went over $200,000,000 with a total of $223,592,-484, for 624,427 veterans. This number included 247,940 widows, provided for by a grateful government. The actual survivors on the pension roll were 234,756. These are now passing into the great beyond at the rate of more than 30,000 each year. It is computed that in five years only a few will remain of the great host that helped to bring about the surrender of Lee at Appomatox. RATE INCREASES AND THE FARMER By J. J. Deuel, President Kern County Farm Bureau, Bakersfield Our past experience has shown us that the case of the farmer is never understood by the Commission, and that is true whether they are represented by counsel or not. We consider that any conduct of the affairs at the commission which requires the employment of experts by the consumers makes the law a farce, as the commission was appointed for that very purpose. Furthermore, the present employed personnel of the commission appears to have been trained in public utility methods. The facts appear never to be found in favor of the consumer. This county is served by the San Joaquin Light and Power Corporation and the Southern Edison Company. According to the statement of the commission, the increase in power rates granted at the last raise was 11 this chart is: January 8.25; February, 12; March, 15.75; April, 16.75; May, 15.55; June 12; July, 11; August, 9; September, 6.25; October, 4; November 3.25; December, 5.35. These figures are important only in case a producer wishes to figure his profits by the month, but they are interesting as showing just what is to be expected from month to month. An average lay of 16 or 17 eggs in April is not large. Most commercial poultrymen expect a bred-to-lay hen to do better than this. Certain if she did less, without some outstanding reason, her owner might well mark her a slacker. Drives of all kinds have been much in fashion for two years past. Is it not time for one of a little different kind? Not a drive for funds, but an educational drive for the dissemination of these fundamental facts regarding the poultry industry? The fact that eggs are at present bringing a fair profit is no guarantee of justice in the future. The country is full of men and women who are ready to declaim at the slightest provocation against the price of eggs. Housekeeping columns are full of egg substitutes and eggless recipes. Why not let the public know what it costs to produce a dozen eggs and how much the producer actually has for his own use when he sells them at 50 or 60 cents? Why not advertise the purity and efficiency of this best of all foods as widely as certain much less wholesome foods are advertised? Why not write on every hillside and flash out in the darkness of every city some legend to remind the public that an egg contains more nourishment than one can buy for five cents in any other form? The poultry industry needs advertising more than any other business. It has the goods, and it sells them cheap, all things considered. Let the consumer know it. Furthermore, the present employed personnel of the commission appears to have been trained in public utility methods. The facts appear never to be found in favor of the consumer. This county is served by the San Joaquin Light and Power Corporation and the Southern Edison Company. According to the statement of the commission, the increase in power rates granted at the last raise was 11 per cent. As far as the farmer is concerned, this statement is false, as the lowest increase in the district has been 35 per cent. It has ranged from this minimum to over 100 per cent increase. One power company official has admitted that he could not see how anyone could make money growing alfalfa at that rate. Another official has stated that the company realized that the rate at the present time was practically prohibitive as far as the farmer was concerned. In the absence of any relief it is expected that the area in this county devoted to the raising of alfalfa will be greatly decreased as soon as the owners can finance the change. This statement is true not only in this county but of Tulare County to the north. The alfalfa industry in this part of the state is at stake and depends entirely upon the view which the commission takes of the hearing just had and the one to be had in the very near future. We here have great hopes of the new commissioner who has just been appointed. He comes from a strictly agricultural section and is a man of exceptional ability. The farmers of this section believe anyone who has any knowledge of the industry will not make the mistakes which have characterized the decisions of the commission in the past. MINISTERS ORGANIZING TO FIGHT THE DEVIL County Association Forming for More Effective Work Orange county ministers will take the lead on the Pacific coast, and in the West for that matter, in the introduction of the Malden plan of religious training for school children, if a committee appointed at the meeting of the Santa Ana Ministerial Union finds upon investigation that such a movement should be undertaken. The Rev. John Oliver presided. Ministers from Anaheim and Fullerton were in attendance at the meeting. It was decided to organize a county ministerial association a meeting for organization to be held within the next month. The committee was appointed to investigate the Malden plan of religious training that is being used very successfully in the East and report whether or not it should be attempted in this county in view of other activities of the same nature now existing. The committee consists of the Rev. J. G. Kennedy, George Chessum, the Rev. Otto S. Russell, Santa Ana; the Rev. G. W. Messias and the Rev. F. H. Doescher, Anaheim, the Rev. S. Clark and the Rev. J. T. Houser, Fullerton, and the Rev. M. L. Pearson and the Rev. H. J. Hill of Orange. A committee also was appointed for developing plans for organization of a County Ministerial association following the expression by several of the pastors that such an association would be of vast influence and benefit. The committee named is the Rev. Perry F. Schock, Santa Ana; the Rev. James A Geysinger, Anaheim, the Rev. Francis, Orange; Howard B. Clark, Fullerton, and R. R. Miller, Santa Ana, the latter to be chairman of the com- DELAY IN LICENSES A delay in the delivery of state license plates to anxious motorists is announced by officials of the Automobile Club of Southern California for unavoidable reasons. All motorists holding application receipts dated by the Auto Club subsequent to January 14 will not receive their plates until March 7 and need not apply for them either at the club headquarters or any of the county offices until that time. The fire in the manufacturing plant turning out the plates and the abnormal last minute rush for the license tags makes it impossible for the state department to furnish them sooner. Further announcement is made to effect that those motorists who have not yet applied for their license had best do so at once, or they will not have the plates on their cars by the first of March, which has been set as a dead line by the authorities unless some last minute leniency is shown on account of unavoidable delay at the factory. U. S. POLICEMAN The president of the republic of Santo Domingo is quoted as demanding that the United States immediately withdraw its armed forces and reestablish the independence of that country. Dr. Henriquez, who is chief magistrate of Santo Domingo, is quoted as saying that the continued occupation of Santo Domingo and Haiti has created "a feeling of distrust and suspicion against the United States throughout all Latin America," and that this feeling will seriously affect America's relations both politically and commercially, with all Latin-American countries. Coming out of Santo Domingo and H. J. Hill of Orange. A committee also was appointed for developing plans for organization of a County Ministerial association following the expression by several of the pastors that such an association would be of vast influence and benefit. The committee named is the Rev. Perry F. Sock, Santa Ana; the Rev. James A Geysinger, Anaheim, the Rev. Francis, Orange; Howard B. Clark, Fullerton, and R. R. Miller, Santa Ana, the latter to be chairman of the committee. It was the opinion of the pastors and others present that if it could be demonstrated that the proposed plan for introducing religious training under the Malden plan was worth while that finances for the movement could be made available quick and easily. Those in attendance at the meeting were: Rev. W. L. H. Benton, G. A. Sterl, L. H. Humphry, John Oliver, J. L. Parks, F. T. Porter, Perry F. Schrock, George N. Greer, J. G. Kennedy and Laymen George L. H. Ash, Harry W. Lewis, R. R. Miller, Santa Ana; Revs. G. R. Messias, James A Geysinger, Anaheim; Rev. Howard S. Clark and Laymen A. J. Raitt, Dr. William Freeman, Fullerton; W. G. Kitzmiller and George Chessum, Orange. The Malden plan provides for the employment of a superintendent known as director of religious education. In each community operating under it, a corps of religious instructors is organized. The word is in connection with the public schools and is entirely non-denominational. The full purpose is to give children better instruction in religious matters, and is not in the interest of any particular church. In Orange county it is proposed to adopt the plan in four cities, Santa Ana, Anaheim Orange, and Fullerton. The work will be supported by voluntary contributions or by various churches assuming proportional costs. It is not expected that the plan can be put in operation here before the opening of school after the coming vacation as it will require several months to work out preliminary details and make them applicable to the local schools. Similar plans are in use at Van Wert, Ohio and Gary indiana. The Malden, (Mass.) plan is believed to have superior working advantages over that in vogue in the other two cities. The Orange county Sunday school association, meeting in this city yesterday afternoon appointed a comestablish the independence of that country. Dr. Henriquez, who is chief magistrate of Santo Domingo, is quoted as saying that the continued occupation of Santo Domingo and Haiti has created "a feeling of distrust and suspicion against the United States throughout all Latin America," and that this feeling will seriously affect America's relations both politically and commercially, with all Latin-American countries. Coming out of Santo Domingo and Haiti post haste, merely because some politician down there demands it is not to be considered by the United States. This nation will be guided—as it should be—in its course of action by its sense of right and justice. When conditions become such in Santo Domingo and Haiti that no further restraint need be exercised by the United States to keep those island republics pacified and to protect the lives and interests of Americans and other foreigners in these islands, then America will withdraw, as it should. But it will not be bulldozed or browbeaten into withdrawing if the presence of American forces is needed yet to maintain peace and order.

The farmer isement is false, since in the district it has ranged to over 100 per cent. The power company that he could should make money at rate. Another that the company state at the present law prohibitive as was concerned. Any relief it is made in this county of alfalfa will be as soon as the change.
