ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS URGES ROAD BUILDING Interesting Session of County Body at Balboa Wednesday Night. By a cote of 11 to 6 on a motion presented by Lew Wallace, the Associated Chambers of Commerce at Balboa Wednesday night adopted a resolution urging the supervisors to co-operate with the highway commission in getting under way work on the coast boulevard. Wallace stated that he offered the resolution merely to present the necessity for immediate action, if building of any section of the road in the county is to be done before coming summer. He desires to see work started on any one of the four sections—Seal Beach to Huntington Beach, Huntington Beach to Newport harbor, Newport harbor to Laguna, Leguna to Serra—regardless of the situation developing through injunction proceedings against the building of the road from Long Beach to Seal Beach over the route designated by the highway commission. J. A. Armitage, who has been engaged by the supervisors to secure rights of way along the route, stated that he was pushing this work. Deeds were in the hands of private owners between Seal Beach and Huntington Beach. Many are corporations, and he is awaiting signatures of proper officials. He asserted that in all probability he would have the documents collected and in the possession of the highway commission within the next two weeks. T. B. Talbert, of Huntington Beach, chairman of the board of supervisors, declared that the board and the engineer were already giving the highway commission every assistance, and that all were working in perfect harmony. He declared that at points where rights of way could not be secured, the road would be built in advance of some opposition to the company building the proposed branch from La Habra to Tustin by way of Yorba Linda, Olive, Villa Park and El Modena, he did not believe that the majority of the residents of the community were opposed to the company coming into the county. He expressed the belief that the board of supervisors should rescind its action in passing a resolution against the company's plans as regards the branch. He took the position that the board represented the people of the county, and that it should not have taken the action it did since the persons opposing the company are decidedly in the minority, taking the county as a whole. Sloan and Adams also addressed the assemblage, briefly, setting forth certain facts with reference to the company's activity. Harry Riley reported that the Anaheim Valencia show would be held in May next year, and that committees had already been named and were at work. J. C. Metzgar, of the advertising and education committee, reporting on the matter of Orange county's participation in the financial campaign of the All-Year club, said that he had been unable to get other members of the committee into a meeting. Submitting a report, expressing his own views on the point, he said that he considered $25,000, as proposed as the quota for this county, out of all proportion to the quotas assigned other counties; that $5000 would be more like a fair amount; that the quota should be secured from the board of supervisors, so that the costs would be distributed throughout the county; that funds should be expended under the direction of the supervisors, and that the All-Year club should provide the committee with more details as to its program. The report was accepted and ordered filed. COURT DECISION BIRTH Judge West Grant's Action Against In the superior court Judge Z. B. West trial of the Birch writ of review of which the supervise assessment of the granting of the showing tha had not notified their intention to move, which they be lowered. The supervisors had adjudication in order without notice to them. The increase in derided by the board siding an application pany asked that it 153,045 on oil price this county be red cut of nearly a mile. When the supervisor on the request, incut, they increased $150,000. making it The oil company enter into court, resisting of a writ of re bility he would have the documents collected and in the possession of the highway commission within the next two weeks. T. B. Talbert, of Huntington Beach, chairman of the board of supervisors, declared that the board and the engineer were already giving the highway commission every assistance, and that all were working in perfect harmony. He declared that at points where rights of way could not be secured, the road would be built in advance of condemnation proceedings—that the road would come first and court fights afterward. He thought the resolution unnecessary. The name of P. A. Stanton, of Seal Beach, one of the founders of that city, was brought into the discussion, it being asserted that he was responsible for failure to get right of way through property west of Seal Beach. R. D. Richards, of Seal Beach, defended Stanton, stating that he did not stand in the way of improvements that would benefit Seal Beach or any other section. The Ord Land company owns the property through which right of way is sought; he declared. Armitage said that Stanton never had told him that: he would not sign a deed. Talbert suggested that the associated chambers could perform a valuable service by adoption of a resolution pledging the support of the organization to the county officials and state highway commission in their efforts to get the situation cleared up. He thought such a resolution would be more effective than the one proposed. J. L. McBride, county engineer, declared that the injunction proceedings on the Long Beach end of the boulevard would in no way hold up construction of the road in Orange county. Harry Riley, of Anaheim, reporting for the committee on ways and means, disclosed that the bill of expenses contracted in connection with an investigation of the office of the county engineer some months ago has not been paid. Originally the bill was scheduled to be paid by pro-rating the cost among the organizations identified with the chambers. Later the chambers voted to ask the board of supervisors to pay the bill, which now amounts to $680. The board declined to settle the account, as it could not legally use county money in that way. Wednesday night the chambers voted to pro-rate the costs, as originally planned. The bill was incurred through the employment of expert咨询员 assigned other counties; that $5000 would be more like a fair amount; that the quota should be secured from the board of supervisors, so that the costs would be distributed throughout the county; that funds should be expended under the direction of the supervisors, and that the All-Year club should provide the committee with more details as to its program. The report was accepted and ordered filed. Elmer E. Jahraus announced that in all probability the Laguna Beach Art association would expend $50,000 in the purchase of a site and the building of an art gallery at Laguna by next summer. The delegates and visitors enjoyed a turkey dinner, served in good style by the Palisades tavern. A feature was the announcement of the management that a second helping of turkey was available to those who wished it. The electric light service was interrupted just before the arrival of the county boosters at the tavern and remained off throughout the evening. Candles were used in illuminating the banquet and other rooms in the tavern. The address of welcome was by J. P. Greeley, mayor of Newport Beach, and response was made by Dr. Lester Keller, of Yorba Linda, former president of the chambers. An invitation from the Orange Community Chamber of Commerce to hold the November-December meeting there was accepted. There will be no November meeting as the date conflicts with Thanksgiving. The double month meeting will be held December 7. Yorba Linda will entertain the organization for the January meeting. COUNTY INSECTARY FAVORED BY GROWERS Million and Half Dollars Spent in Orange County Annually Fighting Pests The committeemen appointed at the recent meeting of Orange county citrus growers at Fullerton for the purpose of considering the establishment of a county insectary, have issued a statement to the effect that it costs the fruit growers of the county a million and a half dollars to fight pests and repair the damages caused by the pests. They estimate that citrus growers alone spent $600,000 annually in fumigation he would have the documents collected and in the possession of the highway commission within the next two weeks. T. B.

Wednesday night the chambers voted to pro-rate the costs, as originally planned. The bill was incurred through the employment of expert accountants to make the investigation of the engineer's office. James Rogan, secretary of the Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce, made a plea for better co-operation among communities of the county in the matter of big displays and entertainment features. He suggested that in future communities contemplating big events take care not to make them on dates where one will conflict with the other. He was supported in the suggestion in a splendid address by R. L. Bisby, of Santa Ana, on the value of such co-operation. Incidentally Rogan announced that he would sever his connection with the Huntington Beach chamber January 1, next, leaving soon thereafter for Europe. In order to carry out the ideas advanced by Rogan, it was decided to make the office of the secretary of the chambers a clearing house for community affairs in the county, secretaries and delegates being directed to advise the secretary of scheduled events. In this way possibility of two communities meeting the same date will be eliminated. T. F Petit, attorney for the Union Pacific; T. M. Sloan and Charles Adams, all of Los Angeles, and C. S. Browne, general agent for Orange county, were representatives of the railroad company present. Petit said that while there may be The committee appointed at the recent meeting of Orange county citrus growers at Fullerton for the purpose of considering the establishment of a county insectary, have issued a statement to the effect that it costs the fruit growers of the county a million and a half dollars to fight pests and repair the damages caused by the pests. They estimate that citrus growers alone spent $600,000 annually in fumigation and an equal amount in overcoming damage done by this work. The committee has done nothing further toward forwarding the movement except to address letters to the various packing houses asking that managers and officials give consideration to the plan in official discussion, and to report conclusions at once to C. L. Crumrine, La Habra, secretary of the committee. The letter sets forth certain conditions obtaining and reciting many of the points which the committee offers in support of the movement to institute the insectary. Recommendation was made at the Fullerton meeting that a levy of one half cent a box be made on citrus fruit for support of the insectary and maintenance of entomologists. It is estimated that such a levy would raise annually about $20,000. D. Eyman Huff stated that the majority of growers with whom he has discussed the matter have approved this method for raising the money, which some have expressed the belief that the individual grower ought continue to fight the pests at his own expense, with possibility of the state and national government later coming to the assistance of growers in the establishment of an insectary. Huff believes that cooperative effort of growers of the county in oper ANAHEIM GAZETTE rating and maintenance of a plant here would hasten the day when the state and government may take an active interest in the work and assume responsibility. Propagation of enemy insects of pests that cause damage and results from experiments conducted by entomologists would in time effect a reduction in the cost of fighting pests that would save the growers thousands of dollars annually over what maintenance would cost in the opinion of Huff. COURT DECISION FAVORS BIRCH OIL COMPANY Judge West Grants Writ of Review in Action Against Supervisors In the superior court last Friday Judge Z. B. West granted the application of the Birch Oil company for a writ of review of proceedings under which the supervisors increased the assessment of the company. Granting of the writ was based upon the showing that the supervisors had not notified the oil company of their intention to raise the assessment, which the company had asked be lowered. The court held that the supervisors had acted outside of their jurisdiction in ordering the increase without notice to the oil company. The increase in assessment was ordered by the board July 18, while considering an application of the oil company for a reduction. The Birch company asked that its assessment of $1,153,045 on oil properties located in this county be reduced to $300,000, a cut of nearly a million dollars. When the supervisors finally acted on the request, instead of making the cut, they increased the assessment by $150,000, making it $1,303,045. The oil company then took the matter into court, resulting in the granting of a writ of review by Judge West. AMERICAN RIGHT HELD IN GERMAN PEACE PACT Senator Kellogg Reviews Specific Guarantees of Rights of This Country in Europe and Asia Specific analysis of the separate treaty of peace with Germany and proof that it will insure American rights without involving us in the embroilments of Europe are presented by Senator Kellog, of Minnesota. He says: "Let me briety call the attention of the senate to parts of the Versailles treaty, under which we obtain rights, advantages and privileges under the present treaty. "Germany renounces in favor of the principal allied and associated powers all her rights and titles over her overseas possessions. I cannot see how accepting the benefits of the provisions of this part of the Versailles treaty can in any way involve the United States in controversy. If we do not wish to take any part of those overseas possessions, we are at perfect liberty to renounce them. If we do decide that we want any part of them, they have been made over to the allied and associated powers, and we are only one of the five, and we would necessarily have to deal with the other powers in order to obtain our rights under those provisions. "Suppose that we should want to take the island of Yap for a cable station: Can we procure it by a separate treaty with Germany without recognizing the rights of the allied and associated powers under this treaty? We certainly cannot. I do not believe that it is the policy of this country, or should be, to take the colonies or to take mandates over any of the colonies of Germany; but we do not assume to do it; we are under no moral obligation to do it, by ratifying this treaty."

ILLINOIS PICNIC Thousands of loyal Illinoisans are waiting for the picnic. The picnic will be held in Sycamore Grove park, Los Angeles, all day, Saturday, November 12th, with basket dinners at noon. The picnic will be held under the auspices of the loyal Illinoisans co-operating with the great federation of state societies and with the local organizations of Illinoisans in Pasadena, Long Beach, Whittier, Pomona, Riverside, etc. All the usual attractive features of picnics will be there. This is your picnic and you will make it a success. Pass the word along to the scores of thousands of "Suckers." Henry J. Brubaker will preside and lead the community songs. If you want to ask questions, phone C. H. Parsons, 10261, at the Illinois headquarters in the Continental National bank. CHEAPNESS THE MAIN SELLING POINT It would be a good thing for America if the consuming public of this country could be thoroughly impressed with an idea recently expressed by the Mail of Woodland, California, which said: "The tradition of German superiority is exploded. Most Americans take the island of Yap for a cable station; Can we procure it by a separate treaty with Germany without recognizing the rights of the allied and associated powers under this treaty? We certainly cannot. I do not believe that it is the policy of this country, or should be, to take the colonies or to take mandates over any of the colonies of Germany; but we do not assume to do it; we are under no moral obligation to do it, by ratifying this treaty. "Take Part V of the Verrsailles treaty. By this treaty we also accept the rights and advantages stipulated for the benefit of the United States of the Versailles treaty. Part V provides for the disarmament of Germany, limits the size of its army, the manufacture of armament, munitions, and war materials, provides for the manner of recruiting and military training, the reduction of fortifications, the size of the navy, the size and control of the air service, and provides for an inter-allied commission to enforce these articles. "We carried on the war, at great sacrifice of life and of money, in order that Germany might not again imperil the peace of the world. Are we not interested in her disarmament? Is there any reason why we should not take the benefits to us of disarming Germany so that she may not again inflict such a calamity upon the world? "The president has called a limitation of armaments conference to meet Washington. I know of no greater advocate of that than the distinguisher senator from Idaho (Mr. Borah). Yet the senator would not have us join in a treaty or take the provisions of a treaty which disarms Germany, the arch criminal of the age. "Clearly, the United States could not make a separate peace with Germany on the question of disarmament and limitation of armaments or military training. Germany could not comply with one standard at the instance of the United States and with another at the instance of France, Italy, Japan and England. True, we may not be interested so much in that provision of the treaty as are France, England, and Italy, living next door to Germany, but Mr. President, we are interested in the peace of the world; we are interested in the rehabilitation of Germany." THE PRESIDENT AT YORKTOWN In his address at the celebration of the one hundred and fortyeth anniversary It would be a good thing for America if the consuming public of this country could be thoroughly impressed with an idea recently expressed by the Mail of Woodland, California, which said: "The tradition of German superiority is exploded. Most Americans who formerly regarded German goods in general as better than our own now believe the opposite. Accordingly they will not buy German goods except for cheapness. The appeal of cheapness alone will not recapture the American market even if tariffs permit dumping—which they will not." Go into almost any toy store and examine the marks which indicate the place of manufacture of the toys, and you will find that in an amazingly large proportion of instances toys which bear any mark at all show that they were made in Germany. They are bought by American dealers because of cheapness. The dealer is scarcely to be blamed for buying where he can buy the cheapest for his profits will be larger by pursuit of such a policy. It is the business of the United States government in the promotion of its own commercial interests and the perpetuation of its industries to see that the cheap German producer is not given an opportunity to destroy American industry by selling goods here at a price with which the American producer can not compete. The solution is indicated by the Mail's remark that tariffs will not permit German dumping of cheap goods. Apparently they do permit much dumping at present, but we are still operating under a Democratic tariff law. In his address at the celebration of the one hundred and fortyth anniversary of the surrender at Yorktown, the president uttered sentiments regarding our international relations which must win the approval of all. Declaring a future breach of our peaceful and friendly relations with Great Britain to be "unthinkable," and referring to the "ensanguined association" of the two nations in the great war as a "trusteeship of preserving civilization," Mr. Harding distinctly repelled the idea of alliances. "Concord for peace" is the thing which he places above alliance for war; and against super-government he ranges the ideas of "interdependence among the nations which lead civilization," of "essential co-operation among nations," of "cooperative endeavor." The address rings the death knell of all expectation of an Anglo-American alliance, but it strengthens the hope for amicable, earnest, continuous and triumphant peace between the two nations. The man who proclaims these sentiments can never, it would seem, be invigiled into either entangling alliances or provocative courses. It is a cheerful circumstance, a happy augury, that the anniversary of the surrender of the British general Cornwallis, brought about through the cooperation of the armies and navies of the United States and France, has been transmuted by time into an occasion of firmly friendly sentiments.
