A TYPICAL DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN UTTERANCE In his speeches in the campaign preliminary to the special congressional election in the sixth Massachusetts district, Senator David L. Walsh seriously presented the theory that the Republican national administration ought to be condemned because it has inherited debt and disaster from the longest period of control by Senator Walsh's own party the American people have been called upon to experience since President Buchanan retired from office sixty years ago. "Although the day of the armistice is now nearly three years distant," said Senator Walsh, "we are still struggling along under the burdens of war taxation, and there has not been the slig'test gesture by the Republicans to remedy this condition." We are, indeed, struggling under the burdens of war taxation, an inheritance from the Wilson administration Senator Walsh helped put in power on the "he kept us out of war" platform. We will doubtless be bearing that burden fifty years hence. It takes something more than "gestures" or even campaign oratory, to pay debts once contracted. Senator Walsh's outcry against the Harding administra- of these debtors and to agreements made by his party's administration. He assailed congress for failure to pass the soldiers' bonus bill on the ground that the conscription act passed and enforced by his party's administration worked unfairly as between the soldier and civilian, but assumed that his hearers did not know that the presidential candidate of his party in 1920 made a campaign declaration against the soldiers' bonus. Supplementing his attack upon the administration for failing to economize, he attacked the discharge of government employees from the navy yard and Watertown arsenal "at this particular time." It may be assumed that this campaign speech of Senator Walsh fairly indicates the line of Democratic attack upon the national administration. It squares fairly well with the invectives delivered by Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, the spokesman of the Democratic national party organization on the floor of the senate. The theory of attack is based upon the belief that the people of this country have forgotten that the difficulties which beset the country are the handwork of the party leadership for which these men speak. That the power of this party, as Senator Walsh says, "is only in its numbers," and that its numbers were insufficient to prevent a Republican plurality of seven millions in the last general election, or of 9000 in normally Democratic New Mexico last week, is the one statement in all this outcry against the administration for which there seems to be any real justification. REPRESENTATIVE AMERICANS The country agrees with the expressed opinion of President Harding that the four men he has named to represent the United States in the arms parley are "outstanding, eminent and MINERS' WAGONS Problems come industry of their consideration and dress of Presidency Work convention of the internal affairs discipline one bers is a matter to look after.

We will doubtless be bearing that burden fifty years hence. It takes something more than "gestures" or even campaign oratory, to pay debts once contracted. Senator Walsh's outcry against the Harding administration because it has not repudiated or paid the billions of dollars of indebtedness representing to no small extent the criminal waste and extravagance which ran riot during the big "party" Senator Walsh's party "threw" wits the people's money, is about the limit in political demagogy. Senator Walsh referred to the unemployment now existing in the country. This is another heritage of Democratic administration, under the operations of a Democratic tariff law which had thrown three million men out of employment in midsummer of 1914, before the world war began. This unemployment Senator Walsh declared that the party in power had "done nothing to relieve." One might suppose from Senator Walsh's line of reasoning that a patient who had been in the hospital with a fractured skull, a broken leg, a dozen broken ribs and a broken spine ought to jump out of bed the next day after he changed doctors, and that the villain who inflicted all these injuries would have a right to come in and reproach the new surgeon because he failed to make the victim as good as new by a few "gestures." "What party do you want to win," asked Senator Walsh, "the party which thinks first of the masses, whose power lies only in their numbers, or the party which uses its first opportunity in eight years to do something by trying to shift the great tax burdens from the shoulders of the very rich and the great corporations, which are able to bear them, to the shoulders of the poor who are already groaning under the burdens they carry." If the rich are bearing all the burdens under the system of taxation devised and put into effect by Sena'or Walsh's party, how does it happen that "the poor are groaning under the burdens they carry?" The truth is, of course, that everybody has been getting the worst of it under the heavy taxation made necessary by the spending orgy of Senator Walsh's party. The theory that REPRESENTATIVE AMERICANS The country agrees with the expressed opinion of President Harding that the four men he has named to represent the United States in the arms parley are "outstanding, eminent and able citizens." They are that anc more. They have special qualifications; there is logic in their appointment. It is a small delegation, made so by agreement among the participating powers, but it is big in brains, in experience, in honesty and in statesmanship. Secretary Hughes and Senator Lodge have been known representatives since the inception of the plan. Their present positions, their experiences and their sheer abilities made that certain. The long experience of Elihu Root in the senate, as secretary of state and his reputation as an authority on international laws and relations made him the logical third member. The position of Senator Underwood as head of his party in the senate, his great ability and practical bent made him the fourth member and the representative of the minority party. He has shown that he can rise above party and that he can think internationally. It is a practical delegation, with enough idealism in its make-up to temper its undoubted conservatism. The decision of the interested nations to limit the number of delegates to four was one of wisdom. This conference will not suffer from the unwieldiness of the Paris conference of 1919. There will be less opportunity for delegations to develop factional stress and strain; less chance of combinations; more opportunity for presenting an undivided viewpoint. The conference should be ready to go to work from the start and clear up its problems by less of oratory and more direct-across-the-table discussions. President Harding refused to be moved by the avalanche of pleas that "Labor" be given a place; that a woman be named to give the conference the purely feminine viewpoint; that the farm and a dozen other special interests be recognized. He kept the American delegation from being a loosely tied bundle of clashing and special interests. He chose instead to name four men employment of incidental products that will enable consumers.

The truth is, of course, that everybody has been getting the worst of it under the heavy taxation made necessary by the spending orgy of Senator Walsh's party. The theory that such burdens can be or have been carried by "the rich" alone, is the cheapest kind of barrel head buncombe. All the people, rich and poor, foot the bills for national mismanagement, and in the face of existing conditions it is useless for any politician to pretend to believe that having spent so many billions of dollars we can get away without carrying the burdens incident to paying the debts. The argument offered by Senator Walsh to the effect that the general public does not in the long run pay the excess profits taxes and the income sur-taxes is so obviously out of harmony with the facts that it is scarcely necessary to waste words showing that when a corporation manufacturing shoes has to pay a certain amount of taxes, it becomes an operating cost and is figured into the sale cost of the shoes, or that when a man running a grocery store or renting an apartment house has to pay a given tax he puts this down on his operating sheet and bases the prices and rentals charged upon the total of which these charges are a part. Senator Walsh attacked the Harding administration for failure to collect the interest on loans made by his party's administration to European powers, choosing to keep from his hearers the fact that this failure to collect was due to the financial conditions President Harding refused to be moved by the avalanche of pleas that "Labor" be given a place; that a woman be named to give the conference the purely feminine viewpoint; that the farm and a dozen other special interests be recognized. He kept the American delegation from being a loosely tied bundle of clashing and special interests. He chose instead to name four men who are well able to represent all of America, rather than individuals who think in terms of the labor union, of the farm or of women's organizations. All of the interests that are entitled to recognition and that can in any way contribute to the ends of the conference will be represented on the advisory council of twelve, to which each nation is entitled. One of the criticisms leveled at the delegation is that it is made up of the "Elder Statesmen," of conservatives and practical men. Another is that every man of the four comes from the Atlantic seaboard. Nevertheless, it would be hard to find four men in the United States who rank higher in broad capacity, experience in diplomacy and in known power of accomplishment than the four named by the president. A DISTURBING FACTOR "Doesn't is make you nervous to see the leading man kissing your wife?" "Sometimes it does," said the director, who was also the husband of the beauteous star, "but I'm a strong believer in art for art's sake. Dather than deprive movie patrons of a single thrill I'd turn my back and let the fellow do it right."—Birmingham Age-Herald. ANAHEIM GAZETTE MINERS' WAGES AND THE WORLD Problems connected with the fuel industry of the country will be up for consideration again, following the address of President Lewis, of the United Mine Workers of America to the convention of that organization. With the internal affairs of the union the country has little concern. How it disciplines one or another of its members is a matter for the organization to look after. When it comes to a question of wages, then the public will take notice. We want no more such experiences as that undergone in December two years ago, when the miners shut down production at the beginning of winter, and paralyzed the country. Omahans who suffered for want of fuel during those days will not listen patiently to the words of President Lewis, when he announces that no reduction of wages will be accepted, and that any action tending in that direction will be resisted by all the power and with all the resources of the national organization. Sympathy for the predicament of the miners, who, according to Mr. Lewis, are getting but two days’ work a week, will be felt by all, but that does not justify a wage that will enable the miner to support his family on so little employment. It would be more in line were the president to urge on his union the adoption of some arrangement that would permit a more steady employment of its members, and the incidental production of coal at a rate that will enable a lowering in price to consumers. To continue the present oppressive situation by retaining the high wages at the mines is inviting disaster. Industrial resumption can not be made complete until a better understanding of the fuel problem is arrived at, and the address of President Lewis does not promise such a result. The senators of the “agricultural bloc” probably will be called together early this week in an effort to agree upon a program. It was intended to hold the meeting last week, but owing to a wide difference of opinion among members of the group it was considered wise to give further time for discussion of the matter. Supporters of the Smoot 3 per cent tax on production or manufacturers’ sales have been trying to bring about a coalition which would make possible the substitution of this tax for both the excess profits tax and the miscellaneous taxes. Democratic leaders have hinted that in case some of their amendments were accepted eliminating objectionable features in the bill they might support the Smoot amendment. Nothing definite has developed from this. Senator Smoot is not only for the repeal of the excess profits tax, but wants to make the repeal retroactive on income of the calendar year 1921. Senators of the agricultural “bloc.” many of who mare against the repeal of the excess profits tax, would consider it more objectionable to make the repeal retroactive than to have it apply on income of the calendar year 1921 as in the present bill. In view of this situation the farm group cannot readily support the production tax as a substitute for the excess profits tax. The most active support for the production tax comes from industries which are affected by present miscellaneous taxes, such as automobile manufacturers, jewelers and others. The agricultural senators are not specially concerned over the miscellaneous taxes. OCTOBER GARDEN At-first thought one does not consider October an important month for the vegetable grower—but just a minute— STATE SCRIPT TO BE SOLD AT PUBLIC AUCTION A public sale of state script will be sold by Surveyor General W. S. Kingsbury, at the state capitol, Sacramento, Monday, November 7, 1921, at 10 a.m. State script is the cheapest land scrip on the market today. Scrip can be purchased only by citizens of the United States who are residents of the state of California, and can be located on any vacant non-mineral unreserved United States government land in California. Homestead and desert land entrymen can relinquish their entries through the surveyor general’s office and acquire title to the land by the purchase of scrip, provided the land is not withdrawn by the federal government for public purposes prior to the date the land is scribed. The applicant need not live on or improve the land. State scrip is not transferable. Scrip is sold in forty-acre lots for cash, personal checks received, but no purchaser can buy more than 640 acres, and the surrender of the scrip is payment for an equal acreage of government land. At the last auction sale of state scrip the price received averaged $6.97 per acre. All money received from the sale of state scrip goes to the support of the public schools of the state. For circular giving information concerning state scrip, address the State Surveyor General, Sacramento.

E. Adkinson, of Trabuco canyon, county game warden. Adkinson said that the mating season among deer has started, and the opening of mating season always means that it is time to quit hunting deer. "I passed up a legal deer two days ago," said Adkinson. "He was within easy range. I could have killed him. I know. But I didn't shoot. The venison would have been too strong; it wouldn't have been fit to eat." Adkinson said that most of the old-time hunters have stopped hunting for the season, though the season does not close until the evening of October 15. "The benefit of having a large game preserve in which deer can be safe was shown this season." continued the game warden. "There have been a dozen or so bucks killed this year, where two or three years ago only one or two would be found. Those that were killed were bucks that come down out of protected territory." Adkinson predicts the ending of all quail shooting in Orange county within a year or two, unless a closed season for a period of years is soon established. "Year by year," said he, "the quail have been reduced in numbers. This year was not a good quail-breeding season. Then, too, a large part of the territory in which quail remained was so closely cropped by cattle last spring that there was little protection for the birds. This season hunters will endeavor to find out where quail are to be found. The word will be passed from hunter to hunter, and what's left of any flock of quail after they have been concentrated upon won't be much. I am thinking that this season will just about clean up quail in Orange county." Dove season is to continue through which are affected by present miscellaneous taxes, such as automobile manufacturers, jewelers and others. The agricultural senators are not specially concerned over the miscellaneous taxes. OCTOBER GARDEN At-first thought one does not consider October an important month for the vegetable grower—but just a minute—how about the stuff that was planted during the last two months? It all needs attention, irrigating, cultivating, thinning out and so forth. Then the garden in general needs going over. Clean up the old crops put into the compost pile all the old dead plants and litter except those which are affected with bugs or fungi; these latter should be burned. Take in your matured crops of winter squash and pumpkins before an early frost blights the exposed parts, store them in a dry, cool place. Sweet potatoes should be dug, for if the vines get frostbitten it affects the tubers by taking much of their flavor away. When digging the potatoes handle them carefully so as not to bruise or scratch. Select perfect potatoes without scratches or bruises for winter storing. You need to take the same method of getting your land wet and worked up as described in last month's planting calendar. Plantings during this month will comprise the more hardy vegetables such as Egyptian beets, half long and French forcing carrots; Winningstadt and Cannonball cabbage; Snowball cauliflower; chickory; Los Angeles Market lettuce; leek; parsnip; radish; turnip; winter spinach; Laxtonian peas for quick crop and Strategem or Senator for a little later. In protected foothill sections Canadian and Ventura Wonder beans will be planted. October is the best month to put out garlic and onion sets. Put out plants of cabbage, cauliflower and lettuce. Swiss chard and kale. On ground that is cleaned up and on which no crop is to be planted this winter scatter a thick layer of barnyard or poultry manure, which will later be worked in. BLUE LIGHT PAYS FINE A fine of $50 was paid Monday by the Blue Light Mining company for a Mexican employed by the company. BLUE LIGHT PAYS FINE A fine of $50 was paid Monday by the Blue Light Mining company for a Mexican employed by the company. The Mexican was chardged with starting a brush fire in Silverado canyon about ten days ago. The complaint was sworn to by Forest Ranger Berg. "We have had three fires the last month," said Countyl Fire Warden W. E. Adkinson, of Trabuco canyno, "any one of which might have done a tremendous amount of damage to the watershed. Hard work and luck prevented any of these fires from spreading." "The first of the fires was the one in Trabuco canyon. A man employed at the Borden mining property let a trash fire get away from him. He was given a suspended sentence. The second fire was in the Silverado. "That fire was started by Mexicans who were smoking out a bee tree they were robbing. "We got the evidence on those men. First we found a bee tree that had been chopped into and burned. An old screen was found. We found pieces of this screen at a cabin where four Mexicans employed by the Blue Light company were staying. Finally, they admitted that the fire started from the bee tree. "The third fire was in Lucas canyon. We are confident that it was started by one of a number of miners who were in the canyon. We are still working on the evidence and an arrest may be made."

HOME BY PHONE and presence of mind operator who played modern Paul Revere, at the switchboard, garden Grove rancher, owe, the fact that their they saw the barn a mass of flames. There being no telephone in the house, Oertly ran across the street to the home of Mrs. Amy Graves, whose son, Ralph, telephoned to the relief operator, Miss Thelma Emerson, who was alone on duty at the Garden Grove exchange. Working feverishly but surely, Miss Emerson soon communicated with persons living in the vicinity of the blazing barn. Jack Jentges, Charles Scott, Edwin Snyder, Willis Newsom, R. C. Unthress and numbers of others dashed to the scene. A hose leading from a nearby water tank was quickly brought into play. A pumping plant was put into operation and water was run into an irrigation ditch; whence the impromptu bucket brigade carried water. The side of the Oertly residence was drenched with water and the blazo was confined to the barn. The Oertlys live a half mile north of Garden Grove on the boulevard. Origin of the fire remained a mystery. However, it was thought possible it might have been started by a tramp. Oertly recalled that last Sunday night he refused a tramp permission to sleep in the barn, inasmuch as the wanderer, who admitted he was a smoker, declined first to give up his matches. Oertly said he thought it possible that the tramp may have returned to the scene and set fire to the barn, perhaps accidentally.
