PLUMB'S LEAF FROM LENINE "In its ultimate purposes and effects, the Plumb plan communism of the United States is a replica of the Lenine bolshevism of Russia," says the Republican Publicity association, through its president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr. "Lenine started out with the theory that there is no such thing as a right of property, and that his administration had a right to confiscate anything that then existed or should subsequently be produced, devoting the confiscated property to any use that met his pleasure. He took over the management of all sorts of industries and enterprises, deposing the men who had built them up and were supposed to be the owners, and placed in charge men without training, ability or experience. The result was what everybody of sens₀ expected—the industries were poorly conducted and people refused to go on producing when there was assurance that the fruits of their toll would be seized by the communistic leader. "The Plumb Plan Leaguers do not propose₀ to confiscate the railroads—what they propose is that the United States government shall borrow money en. on its bonds to buy the railroads from the present owners and turn them over to the railroad employees to manage. It is not the property of the railroad companies they would confiscate, but the property of those who would ultimately be called upon to pay the government bonds. "We have had a demonstration of the failure of government operation in point of both economy and efficiency. Communistic operation, or proletarian operation or whatever name you may be pleased to call the irresponsible management under the Plumb plan, would be infinitely worse in both cost and quality of service. The pro- SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS Bids were received and opened for the sale of Liberty bonds. The board ordered that all bids be rejected. Wm. F. Chambers was appointed as constable for Seal Beach township for the unexpired term. The chairman was authorized to telegraph the governor, state senator and assemblyman, that it is the judgment of said board that assembly bill No. 378, be vetoed. The county engineer was authorized to make an embankment along the west side of the river across Garden Grove avenue.

Certain real property now owned by Orange county, no longer needed by said county was ordered to be sold at public auction, April 26, 1921, at 11:00 a.m. Notice of said sale to be given in the Santa Ana Evening Register. Specifications, plans and profiles, as presented by the county engineer with his recommendations for the improvement of South Glassell street, and Grand avenue, in fourth road district, were adopted by said board.

Communistic operation, or proletarian operation or whatever name you may be pleased to call the irresponsible management under the Plumb plan, would be infinitely worse in both cost and quality of service. The properties would be operated at great cost to all the rest of the people of the country and would be ruined in value. The people would pay good money in the form of taxes for property which they would later be compelled to rehabilitate just as the industries of Russia must be rebuilt. "Communistic ownership of the railroads with government responsibility for deficits would be followed—must be followed—by similar purchase and control and operation of the coal and iron mines, the packing houses, the steel mills, and every other sort of large undertaking, leaving only the agricultural producers as the bearers of the colossal burden thus tled upon their backs. And the agricultural classes would refuse to bear the burden in America just as they have refused to bear it in Russia. "Lenine has been compelled to acknowledge his inability to make people produce when he refuses to recognize the right of property. The agitators in the United States who are working for the adoption of bolshevik ideas in this country may well profit by the Lenine experience. It will save them time and money, for the people of America will no more experiment along that line. The country went far enough during the past eight years to be able to forecast the result of a continuation of the same general trend." SUSTAINED NO INJURY Said to be in the best condition of any consignment of fruit that ever has been shipped from this coast to the eastern seaboard, seven carloads of California lemons arrived in Philadelphia Tuesday after having been eighteen days on the water, without refrigeration. Three carloads are reported to be in perfect condition, while the others suffered only a shrinkage of 3 per cent. This is considered to be an almost epochal feat in the history of the California citrus fruit industry. REFUSE TO HANDLE GERMAN-MADE GOODS The Hardware Dealers Put Ban on Deutschland Products German made goods were tabooed Thursday in stores operated by hardware merchants associated with the southern division of the California Retail Hardware and Implement association following action late Wednesday at the annual meeting of the division in Santa Ana. Discussion and action on the proposition came as one of the final acts of the group of business men assembled for discussion of problems concerning the dealers. The subject was introduced by E. S. Campbell, of Los Angeles, president of the division, when he asked for an expression as to whether or not the dealers would handle such goods. Expressing his own opinion, he said that he felt Germany is going to be placed in position to meet the obligations placed by the victors in war reparations, so that other nations could pay the United States money borrowed during the course of the war, all countries would have to join in purchasing German goods. F. E. Hobbs, of Rialto, was quite pronounced in his opinion that German products should not be handled, declaring that he had told a commercial traveller for a German product "that it would be d—— cold day in August before he would sell German made goods in his store." His statement was greeted with yells and handclapping, and he followed his statement with a motion that "We are opposed to members his recommendations for the improvement of South Glassell street, and Grand avenue, in fourth road district, were adopted by said board.

Sidney Saunny, o o of the public utiliti fthe Farm Bureau, is committee making any consignment of fruit that ever has been shipped from this coast to the eastern seaboard, seven carloads of California lemons arrived in Philadelphia Tuesday after having been eighteen days on the water, without refrigeration. Three carloads are reported to be in perfect condition, while the others suffered only a shrinkage of 3 per cent. This is considered to be an almost epochal feat in the history of the California citrus fruit industry. The cargo of lemons left San Pedro three weeks ago on the Admiral line steamer West Cogus, Captain Darling, and arrived in Boston after a voyage of eighteen days. The lemons were stowed in the hatchways, which were left open. Ventilation by air vents permitting perfect circulation of cool air, kept the fruit in better condition than is possible even under refrigeration, it is said. "He attribute the success of this, our first shipment of lemons without refrigeration, to excellent stowage and good ventilation," said M. Cline, agent for the Admiral line. "Other companies have shipped fruit in this way, but according to reports from Philadelphia, ours is the best that has ever been received in the east. We usually figure on a shrinkage of from 10 to 15 per cent, due to decay. We believe that we can repeat our success, and it looks as though there is a great future for the lemon industry of southern California. Oranges, of course, must be shipped under refrigeration, because they are more subject to weather conditions than are lemons." Solidarity among the nations allied and associated in the world war ought to be preserved, and one way to make sure that it will be is not to ask the United States to furnish all the solidarity. F. E. Hobbs, of Rialto, was quite pronounced in his opinion that German products should not be handled, declaring that he had told a commercial traveller for a German product "that it would be d—— cold day in August before he would sell German made goods in his store." His statement was greeted with yells and handclapping, and he followed his statement with a motion that "We are opposed to members of this association handling German made goods." This motion went over big. More than one hundred attended the afternoon session. Los Angeles was selected as the next place for holding the semi-annual session. The executive committee will name the date. USE GOLDEN RULE Secretary of Labor Davis, of President Harding's cabinet, is giving utterance to some very wolesome suggestions anent the adjustment of industrial disputes. He urges the Golden Rule as the basis of industrial settlements. He advocates frank conferences between labor and capital. He upholds the right of both labor and capital to full and fair hearing. Whil urging a "square deal," for capital, yet he holds that "neither side should try to put anything over on the other." Each should recognize the rights of the other, and both should recognize the rights of the public. "Give the men and women a decent wage," urges Secretary Davis, "for the way to make a loyal American is to make America mean something to him in the way of a happy home, family circle, food, clothing and self-respect; to grind the life out of him is to make a poor patriot." All of which is verity, and very apt- HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TAKE PEN IN HAND Writing Essays for Pacific Telephone Company There are a boy and girl in the high schools of Orange county who, some time in May, will have a chance to talk on long distance to any point in the United States they may select. Who these lucky ones are will not be determined until judges declare the winners of an essay writing contest now being organized in the county's high schools by E. S. Morrow, district manager of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company. Any student in any of the high schools is eligible to compete. The essays will be based upon the observations of students upon visiting anf of the company's telephone exchanges in the county. Morrow was in Anaheim Thursday morning, addressing pupils in the high school here, acquainting them with the wide scope of a modern telephone system. Thursday afternoon he was at Fullerton and Friday at Orange. He is outlining to the students the essay writing plan, and giving information as to the long distance telephone conversation offered as a prize. In making his talks to the students Morrow is covering practically the same lines as were covered by N. R. Powley, Los Angeles, division commercial superintendent of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company, in his speech this week before the Rotary club at Santa Ana. Powley outline the necessity of an understanding on the part of the public of the problems arising in keeping pace with a community's demand on its public utilities. He pointed out that any utility in properly discharging its public duty should take the aggressive in placing Powley, Los Angeles, division commercial superintendent of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company, in his speech this week before the Rotary club at Santa Ana. Powley outlined the necessity of an understanding on the part of the public of the problems arising in keeping pace with a community's demand on its public utilities. He pointed out that any utility in properly discharging its public duty should take the aggressive in placing before the public the matters of vital interest in the operating of its business. He said further that the telephone company desires the public to know in detail the company's operations, that the company wants its business and affairs considered not separate from the community but allied with it. "Utilities today," said Powley, "are the most vital factors in the upbuilding of rapidly growing communities and the success of the community as well as the success of the company is dependent upon a common understanding of this matter by both the public and company." To illustrate how the telephone service in Orange county was a service not self-contained as far as county lines or community boundaries are concerned, Powley spoke on the wonderful development of the long distance service throughout the United States was available daily to all residents of Orange county. POWER USERS TO MEET Following receipt of a telegram from the state railroad commission in San Francisco advising that in response to a request by the Orange County Farm Bureau two of the commission's engineers would be in Santa Ana on the night of April 29 to set forth the commission's reasons for having recently fixed power rates as it had, Farm Advisor H. E. Wahlberg announced that a mass meeting of power users of the county would be held that evening at 7:30 at the city hall. Engineers Ready and Dodge, the San Francisco telegram stated, are the ones who will be there. They will be prepared to answer any questions put to them by users of power both in agricultural and other pursuits in the county. Sidney Saunny, of Tustin, chairman of the public utilities department of the Farm Bureau, is at the head of a committee making arrangements for Engineers Ready and Dodge, the San Francisco telegram stated, are the ones who will be there. They will be prepared to answer any questions put to them by users of power both in agricultural and other pursuits in the county. Sidney Saunmy, of Tustin, chairman of the public utilities department of the Farm Bureau, is at the head of a committee making arrangements for the meeting. The Farm Bureau's public utilities department has represented Orange county power users at hearings before the railroad commission in Los Angeles during the past few months. The Farm Bureau feels that rates have not been revised downward on a par with similar revisions in other lines, Wahlberg stated. "The meeting on the night of April 29 will be extremely important to every agriculturist in the county who uses power, as well as to other users of public utilities," said Wahlberg. "It is really imperative that there be a big attendance at the meeting." The taxpayers of the United States would like to support a movement for genuine civil service reform which gives some consideration to those who pay government salaries as well as to those who are supposed, sometimes by a liberal stretch of the imagination, to earn them. ly said. There can be no permanent tranquility in industry until all the elements in good faith adopt the Golden Rule principle in dealing with each other. No industrial struggle is settled permanently until it is settled right. And there can be no righteousness in a warped, one-sided, selfish settlement that favors one side, to the unjust hurting of the other side.
