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 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter OFFICIAL CITY PAPER WILL NOT OPPOSE SWING Senator Lyman King will not be a candidate for congress in opposition to Congressman Phil D. Swing, of the eleventh district. He says so himself in an editorial called forth by such a suggestion from Los Angeles. Following is what he says, which is sufficiently emphatic to be clear: The writer of this column is informed that the Los Angeles Times said in its political news yesterday that Senator King, of Redlands, expects to be a candidate for representative in congress against Phil Swing, the incumbent of the office in the eleventh California district. We refuse to spend all Sunday in wading through the mass of unimportant stuff appearing in the Sunday Times, so have not seen the item referred to, but Senator King thereby says that he does expect to be a candidate against Phil Swing. Possibly not gifter with a large amount of political acumen, yet Mr. King thinks he knows too much to go up again Phil Swing for congressman, even if he wanted to do that thing, which he does not. Neither will Mr. King be a candidate for lienttenant president of the California Bar association. Chief Justice Shaw has served the state the past 36 years. The direct primary, now used instead of the convention nomination, is given by the chief justice as the chief reason for his resignation. The present system requires too great interference with his judicial work. Associate Justice Curtis D. Wilbux of the supreme court, has announced his candidacy as Chief Justice Shaw's successor. He has been active in city, county and state judicial offices the past 33 years. LESSON OF THE COLD SNAP The orange shipping districts of the interior especially have learned this year that when a snap of weather comes that damages fruit, it can be shipped immediately following such weather for several days. This is especially true when cold weather follows upon the period of injury, keeping the damaged fruit from drying and lengthening the time in which shipments can be made. There is, however, necessity of inspection at such a time, that the market shall be preserved. Reputable dealers will not do anything that will injure the business in which they are engaged—present or future—but unscrubulous people sometimes jump in and do things that hurt. It is to preserve the industry against the unscrupulous that frost shipment laws have been framed. It has been demonstrated, however, that it is an exceedingly difficult thing to prepare a statute that will fit the emergencies of the situation, because if enforced literally, it is possible thereby to do more injury to the industry than the shipment of the bad fruit would. On the other hand, it is difficult to get a liberal or elastic enforcement, because the actual acts of law enforcement are generally placed in the president of the California Bar association. Chief Justice Shaw has served the state the past 36 years.

The union must or later that the wage readjustment and other labor They are at "MIRACLE MAN" They have been trying over in Los Angeles a probably deluded and weak-minded old man for manslaughter. He is one of a type that the public in many years of experience has become reasonably familiar with. He has been designated the "miracle man," and with most of the modern miracle men, the miracle has been how they could maintain life in such a state of uncleanliness and unkemptness and general disregard of the laws of health and hygiene. Another miraculous thing is how they could attract large numbers of those equally deluded, play upon their credulity and ignorance, and obtain money and support. If the man is not deluded, then he is fanatical and mentally unbalanced; and if he is not one or the other, then he is dishonest and a swindler. There are three horns of a situation here, apparent to all reasonable people. The man may fall upon any one of them. He might have gone for a long time with his miraculous performances, but he not foolishly attempted to straighten out limbs long crippled and stiff from illness and disease. Whether the attempted "interposition" resulted in the death of the patient was for the jury to say. But the fact remains that the patient is dead. How long the press and the public will play up alleged "miracle men" is a question. When the one in question was at the height of his healing performances, he was good copy. Too good, we might say. Doubtless many weak-minded people were deluded and deceived by the public notice given him. The results in individual instances may or may not have been disastrous. In this one instance they scrupulous that frost shipment laws have been framed. It has been demonstrated, however, that it is an exceedingly difficult thing to prepare a statute that will fit the emergencies of the situation, because if enforced literally, it is possible thereby to do more injury to the industry than the shipment of the bad fruit would. On the other hand, it is difficult to get a liberal or elastic enforcement, because the actual acts of law enforcement are generally placed in the hands of subordinates, and they see only the letter of the law in performing their duties. They fear to assume any responsibility and the heads of the department are generally too far away to be appealed to in time for prompt work. The next legislature should approach the problem with much caution. The present law is not right. It has been found to work injuriously. It were better repealed and no law than the present statute, indefinite in character, allowed to stand. Would it not be a good thing for the state department of agriculture to hold some hearings in this section of the state which considers that it has been harmed by the enforcement of the present law, that the growers and shipers might present their views, for use in the preparation of an amendment to the measure a year hence? SUGGESTED TAX SOURCES In the endeavor to find means of raising the revenue necessary to pay the soldiers' bonus, which congress has decided to enact, various forms of taxation are proposed. Among the suggested sources of revenue are the following: An increase of one cent in postage; increased rates for second class postage; increased cigarette tax; increased tobacco tax; stamp taxes on bank checks; increased taxes on documents; a gasoline tax; a tax on the horse power of automobiles; a tax on light wines and beer with modification of the Volstead law; restoration of the lower income tax rates which were removed not long ago; restoration of the taxes on freight and passenger charges; a general sales tax. According to the estimates of the treasury department, no one of these sources of income would be sufficient and it will be necessary to make use of several of them. Senators and congressmen are just at present striving earnestly to determine which form of tax will be least burdensome and undoubtedly they will appreciate any NOTICE IS sealed proposes received by the City Clerk of St. February, plans, prepared Durfee, and "Comfort State helm. Cal for filed in the office of said city, January, 1922. Each proposal complied by jury to say. But the fact remains that the patient is dead. How long the press and the public will play up alleged "miracle men" is a question. When the one in question was at the height of his healing performances, he was good copy. Too good, we might say. Doubtless many weak-minded people were deluded and deceived by the public notice given him. The results in individual instances may or may not have been disastrous. In this one instance they seem to have been fatally disastrous to one person. There is no law, perhaps, to prevent any person from believing any kind of foolery or quackery or knanery or chicanery he pleases. But the law of good citizenship and good sense and decency ought to prevent the setting forth of the antics and performances of a fanatic or faker with seriousness and that space that is sometimes given to honest and earnest endeavor—sometimes but not too often. The press that touts the quack and knave because he chances to be bad and dirty hair and the element of a spectacular story is not without its share of responsibility for the results of the delusion of foolish people. "Miracle" men need to be exposed and given out at the beginning, not press-acted and pictured and given endless columns of publicity. The press ought to unite to expose and disclose fraud and fanaticism and fakery. Sometimes it seems to be united to exploit it and give it color. PRIMARY IS BLAMED Chief Justice Lucien Shaw, of the California supreme court, has announced that he will not become a candidate for re-election next fall, this statement being made by him in a letter written to Jefferson P. Chandler. Announcement that the shipping board fleet will be put up at auction, excepting only the Leviathan, George Washington and America, looks like a step to take the government out of the shipping business. But it will probably be a long time before that consumption is reached. A catalogue of nearly fifteen hundred vessels can hardly be cleared up with a few waves of the auctioneer's hand; and it is explained by the chairman of the board that the purpose of advertising the sale at this time is to have the arrangements in shape when, and if, congress enacts legislation of some kind to encourage private concerns to engage in the maritime industry under the American flag, on a scale that will absorb the immense tonnage. The announcement, nevertheless, should be welcome to the country at large as evidence of good faith in respect to the sound policy, which the authorities and the public are generally agree on, that the government should quit.

EDW City Clerk o 3.9-8t THE IMPENDING COAL STRIKE The walk out of the union miners, ordered for April first, does not mean, of course, that coal production in the country will cease on that date—not by any manner of means. A large number of the miners are non-union and these, of course, will not be affected by the walkout order. Indeed, they will take out coal more steadily than ever, and, it is declared, will handle the situation quite effectively. There is no coal shortage in the country at the present time and if the non-union miners produce as they are capable of producing, there will be none. Industry has been slack this winter and as a consequence coal has not been used as liberally as it usually is. Many mills have large supplies of it on hand and it is claimed that the non-union miners will be able not only to keep the country going, but to put up a surplus against next winter. Apparently the only hope the union miners have of winning lies in public sympathy and this, quite frankly, they do not have. For so many years the operators have acceded to their demands, passing the added cost onto the public, that the miners apparently have become obsessed of the idea that they are the lords of creation and that the public must yield to them all they demand. That strike at a southern Indiana mine a few weeks ago, because the operators refused to supply sheds in which the miners could park their automobiles while at work, typified the spirit rampant in the whole field—typified it even more forcefully than the support accorded Howat, the Kansas leader, who defied not only the statutes of the state, but the laws of his own organization. The union miners must learn sooner or later that they will have to accept wage adjustments just the same as all other labor has accepted them. They are at present drawing war Flattery turns heads; advice turns noses. J E SCHUMACHER GO., Opp. S. P. Depot, W. Anaheim. Phone 794. HAY AND GRAIN.
