PAGE FOUR Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entred at the Anahelm Postoffice as second-class matter OFFICIAL CITY PAPER FUTURE OF THE PHILIPPINES It is pointed out in a recent issue of the "Bulletin" of the National Shawmut bank of Boston that twenty-two years ago the sovereignty of the United States over the Philippine archipelago was proclaimed. The announcement was at that time generally recognized as marking a new departure in American policy. The step was viewed with considerable disapproval by certain European powers, while here in this country the cry of "imperialism" was raised. As long as the Filipino insurrection lasted, the Philippine question was a source of bitter controversy. But the interest of the American public in the islands quickly cooled. During the period of hardly a generation which has elapsed since then, changes of most far-reaching character in their political and economic structure have received little attention. So great has been the popular indifference, in fact, that the present importance of the Philippines as a source of tropical products and as a link in far eastern trade is generally unrealized. The next few months, however are likely to see a considerable revival of public interest; indeed, the matter has lately reappeared in the editorial pages of the press. For as we shall see it is imperative that the nextous following made known to them in the period from the signing of the armistice to last November 2. "Harvey spoke the real truth," Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler told a London audience the other day. "America's 'air-tight' rejection of the league of nations is absolute and final. I am of the opinion expressed by some prominent British spokesman that any misunderstanding on this point is mischievous and constitutes a real danger. I have, therefore, concluded to tell such folks simply and bluntly Harvey spoke the real truth, and I am doing it. It is absurd to believe that America might still be beguiled into the league." This is the kind of talk that is clearing European skies—destroying same unnatural old world hopes and ambitions, perhaps, but making possible at the same time a clear realization of the truth as to America's intentions which shall work healthier conditions in England and France and smaller lands in the near future. Dr. Butler and Americans of his character who are crossing the sea in increasing numbers this summer are not "message bearers" in any official or House guise. They are, however, men who know American sentiment. The yare telling what they realize is the truth. The United States rejoices at their utterances. Europe, too, will profit in proportion as the nations there accept and act upon what is declared to them.—St. Louis Times. HALF OF VALENCIAS NOT YET SHIPPED FROM HERE While nearly seven hundred cars have already been shipped from the local packing houses, the crop of Valencias from this district has not been half picked, packed and shipped and will not be for several weeks, says the Placentia Courier.

So great has been the popular indifference, in fact, that the present importance of the Philippines as a source of tropical products and as a link in far eastern trade is generally unrealized. The next few months, however are likely to see a considerable revival of public interest; indeed, the matter has lately reappeared in the editorial pages of the press. For as we shall see, it is imperative that the next congress should definitely determine the future disposition of these islands. Before discussing the accomplishment of the Unjted States in the Philippines, it may be well to recall the problem which their administration presented. Seen on a small-scale map of the East Indies, the archipelago does not look impressive. As a matter of fact, it is far from insignificant in size. The group includes the two big islands of Luzon and Mindanao, some eight or ten medium-sized islands, and hundreds of smaller islets. The total area is estimated to be about 115,000 square miles (decidedly larger than Great Britain), with a coast line longer than that of the United States. The population numbers roughly 10,000,000, of whom not more than 100,000 are foreign born. For an intelligent understanding of Philippine conditions it is necessary to know something about the complex character of the native-born peoples. They may be conveniently divided into two groups: the Filipinos; and the non-Christian tribes. The Filipinos proper comprises seven-eights of the total population, and inhabit the most accessible parts of the northern and central islands. They are a Maylasian people who have received for three hundred years the dubious benefits of Spanish colonial administration—an administration which was quick to convert but slow to educate. They may be described as partially Europeanized. Their Spanish culture was a thin veer, which failed to permeate and unify the great majority of the lower classes. Even today they are not a homogeneous people, and the Visayan, Tagalog, and other dialects are widely spoken. The term "non-Christian tribes" is loosely applied to the uncivilized peoples dwelling in Mindanao and the remote parts of the other islands, who were never really subdued by Spain. Non-acceptance of Christianity is their one common characteristic, as HALF OF VALENCIAS NOT YET SHIPPED FROM HERE While nearly seven hundred cars have already been shipped from the local packing houses, the crop of Valencias from this district has not been half picked, packed and shipped and will not be for several weeks, says the Placentia Courier. One of the local houses expects to be through packing in a few weeks, but the other two have a large amount of acreage yet to be handled. The packers have been rather hard to get this year most of the time, but still a lot of fruit has been handled and since the first few weeks good prices have prevailed. The price of lemons has increased about one hundred per cent since the hot weather set in in the east and those who were fortunate enough to have their lemons come a little later in the season got a splendid price for them. Thousands of boxes were either never picked or were destroyed when it was impossible to sell them for enough to pay the freight. The Placentia Mutual Orange Growers' association has already shipped two hundred and fifty cars of their popular brands of Shamrock and Alissimo and are expecting to handle something over seven hundred more. The Placentia Orange Growers' association's house, better known as the "O. G." has handled about two hundred out of their local plant and figure on about five hundred and fifty more to come. Their main brands are the California Bell, the Carmencita and their very choice brand the Colombo. The Placentia Pacong company, owned and operated by Thos. Eadington, is nearer through the packing of this year's crop of valencias than any of the others. The house has handled just a few over two hundred cars and expects to handle nearly one hundred more before the season closes. Their popular brands are the ones introduced here by A. S. Bradford, the Tereso Rancho, this being the fancy brand and the red label of the same brand being the next garde.

Non-acceptance of Christianity is their one common characteristic, as they differ widely among themselves in habits, language, and even race. Chief among these non-Christian tribes are: the Moros—a Malay people of Mindanao, Mohammedans, religious fanatics and fierce fighters, till lately much given to piratical excursions on neighboring seas; the Igorots—wild men of the mountainous region in northern Luzon, who have only recently been persuaded to give up their favorite pastime of head-hunting; and the Negritos or black people, savages of a different race found in various parts of the archipelago, inoffensive but apparently incapable of civilization. The non-Christian tribes form about one-eighth of the population, a rather considerable minority. In the past their relations with the Filipinos have been hostile. EUROPE IS HEARING THE TRUTH It is Americanism that is being taken in Europe these days. How may the contrast such utterances offer the words of impractical therofists and selfish schemers who swarmed over the old world immediately after the war! Europeans have in recent months learned more concerning the real state of public opinion in the United States than all the stay of President Wilson and his heterogeneous brands are the ones introduced here by A. S. Bradford, the Tereso Rancho, this being the fancy brand and the red label of the same brand being the next garde. TREATMENT OF INDIANS President Harding, it is said, will make personal investigation of numerous complaints from Indian tribes, which plains are to the effect that their interests are not being safeguarded properly by the government. Grievances have been filed at the white house in behalf of the Sioux, Mohave, Apache and other tribes, alleging that designing white men are being allowed to wrest valuable property rights from the Indians. President Harding gives warning that he will tolerate no injustice to Indians during his administration. Some of these complaints arise over water rights in Arizona. Indians charge that they are being ejected from the Fort McDowell reservation in Arizona so that white men's water companies may obtain a water supply from the Verde river. But Indian Commissioner Burko says that these Indians were given their choice as to allotments and that those who have gone to the Salt river reservation have done so of their own volition. There may be two sides to these controversies over Indian rights. Manifestly, the government should protect the rights of Indians with jealous care. But, on the other hand, no overdrawn sentimentality in behalf of the red men should hold back development which obviously would be for the benefit of the Indians as well as the whites. In other words, sentiment as to this should be blended with good common sense. ANAHEIM GAZETTE LAST DAY OF FILING July 31st is the last day for filing capital stock tax returns. To avoid penalty, the returns must be on file on or before midnight of that date. Blank forms have been mailed to all corporations of record, and if not received, should be applied for immediately. The capital stock tax is a special excise tax imposed on corporations with respect to "carrying on or doing business." The tax on domestic corporations is $1 for each $1000 in excess of $5000 of the fair average value of its capital stock for the preceding year ending June 30th. Foreign corporations are required to pay a tax at the rate of $1 for each $1000 of their capital employed in the United States without the benefit of the $5000 deduction. The tax is payable in advance, returns filed this month covering the taxable year beginning July 1st, 1921, and ending June 30th, 1922. The bureau of internal revenue estimates that approximately 325,000 such returns will be filed, and that the amount of revenue collected from this source will be approximately $90,000,000. Returns are required of every corporation, regardless of the par value of its capital stock. Corporations claiming exemption are required to file returns setting forth their reasons for such claims, accompanied by evidence in support thereof. If, because of lack of complete data or other reasons than illness or absence, it is impossible to file a complete return on or before July 31st, a tentative return may be filed, reporting the approximate fair value in order that an initial assessment may be made, thus avoiding penalty. The penalty for failure to file a return within the time prescribed, is an added assessment of 25 per cent of the amount due unless it is shown that to Righter's machine. It is understood that this was done to forestall a suit for damages. Mrs. Zadeck stated that she had taken the matter up with an insurance company, but had been unable to get an adjustment of the matter to date. The case was first set for trial May 31. Mrs. Zadeck and her daughter appeared at that time and declared that they had not been informed of the case until a day previous and that they had no time to engage an attorney. Judge Cox then reset the case for June 15. When Mrs. Zadeck did not show up on that date a bench warrant was issued and served upon her. She explained that she thought the matter had been settled through the insurance agency. WOMAN FILES SUIT FOR NON-SUPPORT Mrs. Pearl Vargas Declares in Court That Her Husband Starved Her. For the second time Mrs. Pearl Vargas, of this city, has filed suit against her husband, Jesus Vargas, charging him with non-support. Mrs. Vargas told Judge Cox that she lived with her husband and his uncle in Los Angeles just about a month. The two men she said, had ham and eggs for breakfast while she had to be satisfied with plain bread and butter. There was never enough to go around, she declared, and the two men always got the best of it. Vargas took the stand in his own behalf and declared that his wife had the same bill of fare that he and his uncle enjoyed. He also accused his wife of spending too much time with her sister. When she came home late one evening and told him that she had been visiting her sister Vargas is alleged to have insisted on her going right back. He told her to stay a week. Mrs. Vargas left and never did go back. shortage. It is for these folks that decent homes must be built. "Meanwhile they, as well as many with larger incomes are doubling up or taking in lodgers. Increased rents too have caused many families to share their quarters with outsiders, so we have the anomaly of a block or an apartment house containing a larger number of people than it ever did in the past, yet with an occasional house or apartment vacant because those needing better quarters can't afford to pay any higher rents. This overcrowding of rooms is viewed with anxiety by the public health officials who realize how infectios diseases spread under such conditions." MEXICAN LANDS IDLE Tens of millions of acres of land in Mexico lie today in the condition they were in 1500 years ago so far as development is concerned, according to A. M. McDermott, who Wednesday addressed the Kiwanis club at Santa Ana on the Mexican constitution. The Oregon government is offering every inducement for foreigners to invest there and assist in developing the country, he said. That McDermott has given the laws of Mexico deep study was evidenced by the manner in which he told briefly various provisions in the constitution. He declared that there is a general misconception on the part of Americans as to the provisions for foreigners acquiring lands there. The constitution prohibits ownership of lands by foreigners, except that foreigners may secure permission to buy under condition that they renounce their foreign citizenship so far as the property owned is concerned. A foreigner does not necessarily have to renounce allegiance to his native country. He renounces allegiance only so far as the piece of ground owned is concerned and there merely is renunciation of possible damage If, because of lack of complete data or other reasons than illness or absence, it is impossible to file a complete return on or before July 31st, a tentative return may be filed, reporting the approximate fair value in order that an initial assessment may be made, thus avoiding penalty. The penalty for failure to file a return within the time prescribed, is an added assessment of 25 per cent of the amount due, unless it is shown that the failure was due to reasonable cause and not to neglect. In addition to the added assessment, a fine of not more than $1000 is provided for failure to make a return on time. For wilful refusal to make a return, wilful evasion of the tax, wilful refusal to supply information requested by the commissioner, or attempting in any way to evade the tax and payment when due, the penalty is a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both. With a view to the prompt collection of the capital stock tax, and for the convenience of the taxpayer as well as the government, the bureau suggests that corporations submit checks with the returns for the amount of tax due. This method is appealing to corporations as it lessens liability to penalty. Respectfully, JOHN P. CARTER, Collector. COURT ASSESSES $25 FOR RECKLESS DRIVING Judge Also Hands Young Lady Piece of Advice After imposing a fine of $25 upon Miss Beatrice Zadeck, 708 Maple avenue, Los Angeles, on a charge of driving her automobile in a reckless manner. Justice of the Peace Cox told the young woman that he would write the motor vehicle department at Sacramento and recommend that her operator's license be revoked. "And if ever you are caught speeding in Orange county you will not go back to Los Angeles on the day of your arrest," said Judge Cox in a stern tone. "You probably will spend a few days in the same place Bebe Daniels did." Miss Zadeck admitted that she was trying to pass another machine that was going about forty miles an hour when she was driving sideways by evidence in support thereof. Vargas took the stand in his own behalf and declared that his wife had the same bill of fare that he and his uncle enjoyed. He also accused his wife of spending too much time with her sister. When she came home late one evening and told him that she had been visiting her sister Vargas is alleged to have insisted on her going right back. He told her to stay a week. Mrs. Vargas left and never did go back. Her mother, Mrs. Lyndia Wirt, of Anaheim, and John W. Blecker, also of Anaheim, were witnesses for Mrs. Vargas. Both declared that the young man had neglected his wife. Mrs. Wirt said that she never visited the couple in Los Angeles because she did not care to associate with Vargas. She denied that she induced her daughter to leave her husband. Vargas was haled into the justice court about a month ago and Judge Cox ordered him to pay a stipulated sum to his wife for her support. He failed to meet the provisions of this order and Mrs. Vargas had him arrested the second time. At the conclusion of the hearing Judge Cox bound the defendant over to the superior court and fixed his bail at $300. Mrs. Vargas said that she was destitute, that she did not have money enough to pay her board bills and that she could not raise money enough to buy clothes for the baby that she is expecting in another month. She is depending on her mother, she said, and both are in a sad plight, lacking the comforts of an agreeable existence. THE HOUSING SHORTAGE Reliable estimates place the shortage of houses in America at more than 1,250,000. According to John Ihlder, manager of the National Chamber's Civic Development Department, this shortage has reached a point where four million persons are inadequately housed. Mr Ihlder is helping in the preparation of a program for the conference, which will bring representatives of the 1400 industrial and commercial organizations making up the National Chamber's membership. He has made a close study of the housing problem. "For a number of years prior to the world war,' says Mr. Ihlder, "it is conservatively estimated that there are erected in the United States between The constitution prohibits ownership of lands by foreigners, except that foreigners may secure permission to buy under condition that they renounce their foreign citizenship so far as the property owned is concerned. A foreigner does not necessarily have to renounce allegiance to his native country. He renounces allegiance only so far as the piece of ground owned is concerned and there merely is renunciation of possible damage claims. Explaining the condition which has brought about suspension of exportation of oil from that country by American companies, McDermott said that the government had withdrawn all taxes on mining products because of the slump in the value of ores and had increased the export tax on oil because it is a commodity of production there that is in demand and is moving. He pointed out many other interesting features of the laws there and conditions that brought their enactment, touching briefly on the change in administrations and the results.

NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL ESTATE In the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Los Angeles. In the matter of the Estate of Julia Bruere, Deceased. No. 39762, Notice of Sale of Real Estate. Notice is hereby given that the undersigned executor of the estate of Julia Bruere, deceased, will sell at private sale on or after the 30th day of July, 1921, at the hour of twelve o'clock M., of said day, all the right, title, interest and estate of said Julia Bruere, at the time of her death, and also all the right, title and interest which said estate of Julia Bruere, deceased, may have acquired subsequent to her death in addition to that of the deceased, in and to the following parcel of real estate lying, being situate in the County of Orange, State of California, described as follows, to wit: Lot 4, Block 104, Huntington Beach, Miss Zadeck admitted that she was trying to pass another machine that was going about forty miles an hour when the car she was driving side-swiped a Ford machine driven by W. G. Righter, of Orange, forcing the latter car into the ditch. The accident happened a few miles south of Tustin on the state highway January 21st, last. Miss Zadeck was driving south with her mother and two friends and Righter and his family were traveling north. According to the testimony of all concerned, Miss Zadeck tried to cut in ahead of Righter's car when he was passing the machine that Miss Zadeck was trying to overtake. Through some misunderstanding, the name of Mrs. J. H. Zadeck, the mother of the defendant, was written on the complaint. This was corrected in court Thursday morning when it was learned that it was her daughter, Beatrice, who was driving the machine. The complaining witnesses were W. G. Righter, his wife, Emma, and their daughter. Another woman, who was with the party at the time of the accident and who sustained an injury to her right knee cap that kept her confined to her home for three months, is now in the east. In addition to paying the fine assessed by Justice Cox, Mrs. Zadeck, mother of the defendant, paid to Righter $39, which is to be applied to damages has reached a point where four million persons are inadequately housed. Mr. Ihlder is helping in the preparation of a program for the conference, which will bring representatives of the 1400 industrial and commercial organizations making up the National Chamber's membership. He has made a close study of the housing problem. "For a number of years prior to the world war," says Mr. Ihlder. "it is conservatively estimated that there are erected in the United States between 350,000 and 400,000 family dwellings in a year. This includes homes and apartments. During the war construction of houses was practically at a stand still with the exception of what building was done by the government. As a result of this we came out of the war far behind our regular building program. The situation has not improved a great deal since the signing of the armistice except for a brief spurt early in 1919, because those who contemplated building homes put it off until prices should become stabilized. In 1919 it is estimated that there were built only about 70,000 houses in the United States, while the number erected during 1920 will probably turn out to have been even smaller than that figure. "While it is true there are many houses for sale, these are nearly all now occupied by tenants. The number of houses for rent in most communities is practically nil and the majority of these houses are not suitable for the needs of the average wage earner. A man with an income of $5000 a year or more doesn't have as much trouble getting desirable quarters as the wage earner who cannot afford to pay high rents. The wage earner and those earning small salaries are the ones who are hit-hardest by the housing o'clock M., of said day, all the right title, interest and estate of said Julia Bruere, at the time of her death, and also all the right, title and interest which said estate of Julia Bruere, deceased, may have acquired subsequent to her death in addition to that of the deceased, in and to the following parcel of real estate lying, being and situate in the County of Orange, State of California, described as follows, to-wit: Lot 4, Block 104, Huntington Beach, in the City of Huntington Beach, County of Orange, State of California, as per map recorded in Book 3, page 36 of Miscellaneous Maps, Records of Orange County. The terms of said sale will be cash, or one-half cash and the balance to be evidenced by promissory note of purchaser, said promissory note to be secured by first mortgage on the property so sold, said note and mortgage to bear interest at the rate of seven (7) per cent per annum, due not more than two years after date; ten per cent of the amount so bid to accompany each bid, balance of said purchase price upon delivery of deed and upon confirmation of said sale by said Superior Court.
