COURT DENIES RIGHT OF MOTOR TRANSIT CO. Operating Between Anaheim and Santa Ana Without Authority The Motor Transit company is operating without authority its passenger carrying service between Santa Ana and Anaheim, according to a decision which the railroad commission handed down and of which Attorney Clyde Bishop, representing the Crown Stage company, was advised Thursday. The decision directs immediate discontinuance by the Motor Transit company of local service between the two cities. This marks another victory for the Crown stage in its battles against the Motor Transit and other transportation companies for preservation of rights acquired by the Crown through establishment of service and purchase. It is not expected that the Motor Transit will discontinue its service at once, and there will be no attempt on the part of Attorney Bishop to take advantage of the ruling of the commission at this time. The matter will be taken to the supreme court and when the attorneys for the Motor Transit file a writ of review, the supreme court may issue an order staying execution of the commission order until such time as the court may hear the case and reach a decision. In the decision of Thursday the commission has reversed itself and upset a principle established in early decisions. The principle is that the greater includes the lesser—in other words, that a motor bus line having franchise for carrying through passengers also has the right to engage in local passenger traffic. Bishop attacked this principal in his fight against the Motor Transit in operation of local service between Santa Ana and Anaheim and the decision is a victory for him and his contention ability of bolshevik agitators to make any headway in this country and for the general detestation in which communist doctrines are held. The man who owns his home, or hopes or expects to own one, does not take kindly to dangerous experiments in government and economics. He is not willing to take the risk of losing his property. It would be ideal if every family could own its dwelling. The crowding of people into tenements or apartments, at the expense of health and sanitation, would then cease to be a civic problem, and there would be no profiteering by landlords. The ownership of homes makes for good citizenship. He who holds title to the property on which he resides takes more interest in the betterment of the community than the one who lives in a rented dwelling. The former is anchored, while the tenant is periodically confronted with the possibility of having to move. In every way possible encouragement should be given those who suffer from the housing shortage to build their own homes. It would be a happy state of affairs if the great majority of the new houses should be erected by persons who proposed to live in them rather than by those who intend to offer them for rent. WHEN IS RETALIATION? Since the termination of the great war practically every nation of any commercial importance has boosted its tariff rates. The policy of the United States in that regard has since the Republican return to power, been chiefly confined to intention. Every one knows the protective policy is to be restored just as soon as the ways and means committee can bring in the permanent bill and it can be put through congress for presidential signature, and as an earnest thereof the raw products, and, in cas, for our manufacture of retaliation is silly, cates how hard up that for arguments as they grin the old free trade into the protective co- NO PRESS CENSORS UNDER HAUNT In no act of the action there been a clearer change of spirit Washington than in Postmaster General Hays gives him no power to tolerate censorship passing through the often that an executive rendering decisions powers, but by declining his predecessor in so as a judge of what she be printed upon conditions in the press of master General Hayes high official position in him the greed for power that in these to be an almost inevitable statement of the reason his decision, in its e fundamental principle, stands out in with the action of the ment of Russia in supplication preaching economic theories out of those espoused by the Yet Postmaster General is taken for the protec stitutional rights of profess to prefer Lenkyism to Americanism.

The principle is that the greater includes the lesser—in other words, that a motor bus line having franchise for carrying through passengers also has the right to engage in local passenger traffic. Bishop attacked this principal in his fight against the Motor Transit in operation of local service between Santa Ana and Anaheim and the decision is a victory for him and his contention that a through service does not permit the institution of a local service without an additional certificate from the railroad commission. It is alleged by Bishop that the Motor Transit instituted its service between the two Orange county cities on the principle that the commission has now declared to be erroneous. Commission and court battles for rights of transportation companies have developed from an enactment of the state legislature made effective May 1, 1917. After that date companies or individuals proposing the operating automobiles in passenger ule and with fixed termini were required to secure a certificate from the commission. To secure such a certificate it is necessary to prove public necessity or public convenience for the proposed service. Important historic points in the development of transportation in connection with the case were recited by Bishop today. April 29, 1917, A. S. Good went to San Diego and took out a license for operating automobilees in passenger traffic between San Diego and Los Angeles and instituted service under the name of the A. R. G. bus line. He operated the line by entering into agreements with different car owners to put their cars on the line, paying them so much for the service. He sold tickets between Los Angeles and San Diego and made his profits in the enterprise in this manner. Later the White Bus line, predecessor of the Motor Transit company, the old and the new being the property of O. R. Fuller, contested the right of the A. R. G. to institute local service between Anaheim mand Los Angeles, the A. R. G. asserting that because it had established through service between San Diego and Los Angeles, operating through Anaheim, it had the right to serve locally. Fuller fought the stand of the A. R. G., the commission finally deciding in favor of the A. R. G. on the principle that the greater included the lesser— Since the termination of the great war practically every nation of any commercial importance has boosted its tariff rates. The policy of the United States in that regard has since the Republican return to power, been chiefly confined to intention. Every one knows the protective policy is to be restored just as soon as the ways and means committee can bring in the permanent bill and it can be put through congress for presidential signature, and as an earnest thereof the emergency tariff measure was recently signed which will provide temporary protection to farm products and which practically prohibits the importation of dye-stuffs until further disposition of that subject is made in the permanent measure. But the latter measure has not yet been introduced, no nation has any idea of what it contains, and nearly, if not all, the commercial nations had revised their rates upward even before the emergency law was passed. Throughout the past year the free traders have been screeching "Retaliation" into the ears of the protectionists and predicting the dire happenings which would follow our return to our standing policy. It was awful to contemplate, if one believed them. Our customers and competitors would surely retaliate against us, close us out of their markets with prohibitive rates and port dues, and eventually we would have to shut up shop and approach them with hat in hand and sorry countenance and beg for respite, promising to return to revert to free trade. We were to sue for favor because of our own selfish derelictions. The question naturally arises, in view of what other nations have been doing before we laid our cards on the table. Who is the retaliator? Is Australia retaliating against us by raising her duties on imports merely because the kangaroo statesmen have been advised that we are going to protect our wool growers? Is Argentina retaliating by tightening up her tariff schedules a notch or two because she is certain we are going to protect our farmers? Has England put into operation her system of imperial preferences, and have her cotton manufacturers been boycotting raw cotton brought to English ports in American ships because she was assured that we were going to protect our textile manufacturers? Has Italy raised her rates because she was positive we were going to protect the California lemon growers? Are all these countries retaliating against us for what they think we are going to do and not for ment of Russia in supplication preaching economic theories out of those espoused by them. Yet Postmaster General is taken for the protected rights of professors to prefer Lenyism to Americanism.

No cause v Fuller fought the stand of the A. R. G., the commission finally deciding in favor of the A. R. G. on the principle that the greater included the lesser—that is, that through service of the A. R. G. entitled it to the right to give the local service. Fuller carried the issue to the supreme court and won. He asserted in his complaint that the A. R. G. threatened to operate a local service between Los Angeles and Anaheim. The supreme court held that the railroad commission had no right to make the decision in which it gave the A. R. G. precedence over Fuller. It held that the commission has regulatory powers only after a service has been established and that with the A. R. G. merely threatening at the time to institute such service the commission with without authority. In connection with the operation of the Fuller line from Los Angeles to Anaheim arrangements were made whereby the Crown stage of Santa Ana carried passengers on the Fuller line from Anaheim to Santa Ana and vice versa. A NATION OF HOME-OWNERS Preliminary census returns show that 6,000,000 American families own their homes. There are more homeowners in the United States than in any other country. Here we find the reason for the inaction we are going to protect our farmers? Has England put into operation her system of imperial preferences, and have her cotton manufacturers been boycotting raw cotton brought to English ports in American ships because she was assured that we were going to protect our textile manufacturers? Has Italy raised her rates because she was positive we were going to protect the California lemon growers? Are all these countries retaliating against us for what they think we are going to do, and not for what we have done? It was recently announced officially that Spain "is to eliminate the most-favored nation treatment and establish two sets of rates of duty, with great difference between them, which implies an invitation to all nations to negotiate favorable treatment for reciprocal concessions to Spanish exports. The tariff favors nations with depreciated currency and is more unfavorable to American products than the last tariff." Is Spain getting in her retaliatory program now for what we may do in the future? Looking at it from the viewpoint of those who are trying to scare us with talk of retaliation, is not the United States retaliating on these countries for having raised their rates before we have taken any official action in that direction? Of course these nations have no idea of retaliation or traderestoration. They are simply taking such precautionary measures as they deem prudent to protect their industries, and that is just what this country should do, and will do. No country on earth can afford to enter into a tariff war with the United States. Even under protection we will in all probability provide a market for some $3,500,000,000 worth of foreign goods, while there will always be a large demand for our ANAHEIM GAZETTE NO PRESS CENSORSHIP UNDER HARDING REGIME In no act of the administration has there been a clearer demonstration of a change of spirit in government at Washington than in the decision of Postmaster General Hayes that the law gives him no power to exercise an automatic censorship over publications passing through the mails. It is not often that an executive official is found rendering decisions limiting his own powers, but by declining to emulate his predecessor in setting himself up as a judge of what shall and shall not be printed upon controverted questions in the press of the country, Postmaster General Hayes has shown that high official position has not aroused in him the greed for power and more power that in these latter days seem to be an almost inevitable accompaniment of executive authority. His statement of the reasons which impel his decision, in its exposition of the fundamental principles of free government, stands out in sharp contrast with the action of the socialist government of Russia in suppressing all publications preaching political and economic theories out of harmony with those espoused by the party in power. Yet Postmaster General Hayes' action is taken for the protection of the constitutional rights of publications which profess to prefer Leninism and Trotzkyism to Americanism! Postmaster General Hayes' decision restored mailing privileges to Max Eastman's "The Liberator." He declared that the use of the power of the raw products, and, in the Latin Americas, for our manufactured goods. Talk of retaliation is silly, and merely indicates how hard up the free traders are for arguments as they see with chagrin the old free trade south swinging into the protective column. AID TEACHING AGRICULTURE IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS Agricultural courses for elementary schools, prepared by the United States department of agriculture, have been adopted in Wisconsin, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia and Arkansas. These courses are suitable for use not only for elementary schools, but for consolidated rural schools and secondary schools. They have been prepared at the request of the state authorities, and the department specialists have co-operated with the state boards of education and the state agricultural colleges in their preparation. In addition to preparing complete courses in agriculture, the federal specialists in agricultural education have series of lessons on different phases of agriculture, which are being used extensively in a number of states. Topics relating to growing hogs, selecting and growing corn, potatoes, poultry, etc., have been worked out, the department publications on the various subjects being used as a basis for the information in these studies. Leaflets on how teachers may use certain farmers' bulletins have been prepared. These leaflets have been widely distributed, and they have been in great demand among teachers of agriculture.

Now $3.00 GOOD HOUSEKEEPING Was $3.00; Now $2.50 Postmaster General Hays' decision restored mailing privileges to Max Eastman's "The Liberator." He declared that the use of the power of the postoffice department to regulate or control the editorial utterances of the newspapers, is indefensible, especially when used in the arbitrary way pursued by Mr. Burleson. Forcing publications in disfavor with the postmaster general from the second to the third class, with merely an increase of postal rate, is manifestly a form of persecution. Either a publication should be suppressed entirely or given the same postal privileges as are accorded to other periodicals. Said Mr. Hays: "The only question to be decided, is whether the Liberator is publishing mailable matter. If it is, then the publication is entitled to the second-class mails and is mandatory upon the post master general to issue a permit. "There is a vast difference between what is information of a public character and what is information of public benefit. Much of the news in any daily might be barred if public benefit were essential. The arbitrary power to decide what and what is not a public benefit was never intended to be lodged in the postmaster general. It shall not be assumed. "The postoffice department holds no brief for the Liberator or any other publication. If there is on foot a conspiracy to destroy our established form of government by force and violence, claimed by the department herefore as a reason for not granting this permit, then the department of justice will deal promptly and effectively with the consspirators. "The war is over. We must return to ordered freedom. Our method of safeguarding the public welfare, while at the same time maintaining freedom of the press, has been found through a long period of stable civil liberty better for the public welfare and personal security of citizens than to establish a bureaucratic censorship, which in its nature becomes a matter of individual opinion, prejudice, or caprice." The way to fight political and economic heresy is with the weapons of reason. No cause which cannot surpass or resist Russia in suppressing all publications preaching political and economic theories out of harmony with those espoused by the party in power. Yet Postmaster General Hays' action is taken for the protection of the constitutional rights of publications which profess to prefer Leninism and Trotzkyism to Americanism! A New Back for an Old One—How an Anaheim Resident Made a Bad Back Strong The back ache at times with a dull indescribable feeling, making you weary and restless; piercing palms shoot across the region of the kidneys, and again the loins are so lame that to stoop is agony. No use to rub or apply a plaster to the back if the kidneys are weak. You cannot reach the cause. Follow the example of this Anaheim citizen. J. A. Laffoon, retired farmer, 417 S. Elm St., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are an old standby with me and I don't know how I would have made out without them. I got so bad off with kidney trouble I could hardly keep going. My back ached constantly and made it hard for me to do any stooping or lifting work. My kidneys were out of order, too. I used Doan's Kidney Pills from Anaheim's Drug Store and they just suited my case. Doan's soon put me on my feet. The backaches let up and my kidneys were regulated. I rely on Doan's Kidney Pills now if I have any return of the trouble. I know there is nothing better for kidney weakness." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Laffoon had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N.Y.
