RED CROSS MAY HAVE A COUNTY CHAPTER Steps Being Taken to Consolidate All the Societies. The advisability of establishing an Orange county chapter of the American Red Cross, into which existing chapters will be merged, of establishing a county dental clinic and instituting a paid county secretary for the Red Cross are matters to be discussed with Red Cross officials in this county. A letter received by T. E. Stephenson, chairman of Santa Ana chapter, from division headquarters in San Francisco said that a representative from headquarters would be in this county next week for the purpose of taking up a number of proposals that have been made, most of them by Mrs. A. N. Gaines, a field representative of the Red Cross. Mrs. Gaines, it was stated, feels that unity of action could be obtained by a county organization, and that a paladinary secretary would serve to maintain a widespread interest in Red Cross work. This, Mrs. Gaines said, seems to be advisable. Stephenson said that the question of a county organization and a paladinary secretary had not been discussed at any meeting of the directors of Santa Ana chapter. A meeting to be addressed by the division representative next week will be called immediately after her arrival. "The suggestion that a dental clinic be instituted seems to have been founded upon the fact that a number of clinics of that nature have been operated with good results," Stephenson said. "In general, the plan is to fit out an automobile so that dental equipment may be moved easily from place to place. Under this plan school children have their teeth examined." Instead of proposing that the government establish the standards and conduct the inspection, the manufacturers were induced to establish an inspection system of their own under which fairness will be assured to the consumer and the general public will not be saddled with the expense and annoyance of one more government bureau. Through these policies the United States has been rapidly getting back to normal, whereas, if paternalistic schemes had been adopted, the country would have been getting farther and farther away from the principles and practices of normal industrial activity. VICTORY NOTES CALLED Interest on all 3 3-4 per cent Victory Liberty loan notes will cease on June 15, 1922, in accordance with the "Notice of Redemption" issued by the secretary of the treasury. This fact was again specially reiterated through the following press statement from Washington, on Monday, May 22: "The secretary of the treasury today called attention to the fact that all 3 3-4 per cent Victory notes, pursuant to the notice given February 9, have been called for redemption on June 15, and that interest on the 3 3-4 per cent Victory notes will therefore cease on that date. As announced on February 9, the treasury is prepared to redeem any of 3 3-4 per cent Victory notes before June 15, at the option of the holder, at par and accrued interest to the date of optional redemption." In "calling" the 3 3-4 per cent Victory notes for redemption on June 15 (nearly a year before their maturity on May 20, 1923), the government is exercising the following option, reserved in treasury department circulation. THE END OF HYSTERIA It is worth much to the American people in general and to American business men in particular to have charge of national affairs a congress and a president not subject to hysteria. In several important instances we have had a demonstration of the value of an administration that acts deliberately and in accordance with sound economic reasoning. When this administration came into power one of the first problems presented for its consideration was that of unemployment, it being alleged that there were anywhere from four to six million men out of employment. Many suggestions were made as means of relief, among them that the government should appropriate huge sums, raised either by taxation or a bond issue, in order to provide work for the idle. That would have been the easiest and quickest temporary remedy, but the cure would have been of questionable benefit. Once the government aropted the policy of providing work for all who wanted it, there would have been no limit to the application of that policy. Once the citizen had been led to believe that it is the duty of the government to furnish him an income suited to his wants there would have been steadily and rapidly increasing willingness to shirk individual responsibility and to rely upon the public treasury for a livelihood. The Republican administration yielded to no such suggestion, but a conference was called and each industry and each municipality was urged to conduct its business in such a way as to afford relief to as large an extent as possible to those who were most in need of work. This was done and experience has shown that there was a minimum of suffering. To cease on that date. As announced on February 9, the treasury is prepared to redeem any of 3-4 per cent Victory notes before June 15, at the option of the holder, at par and accrued interest to the date of optional redemption." In "calling" the 3-4 per cent Victory notes for redemption on June 15 (nearly a year before their maturity on May 20, 1923), the government is exercising the following option, reserved in treasury department circular No. 138, announcing and prescribing the terms under which the Victory Liberty loan was offered on April 21, 1919: "The notes may be redeemed, at the option of the United States, under such rules and regulations as the secretary of the treasury may prescribe, on June 15 or December 15, 1922, in whole or in part, as to either or both series, at par and accrued interest, on four months' notice of redemption given in such manner as the secretary of the treasury shall prescribe." In view of the foregoing, it behooves all owners or holders of outstanding 3-4 per cent Victory notes to present them for redemption not later than the middle of June, 1922, because these notes will not earn any interest after that date. Redemptions can be effected through any bank or trust company in the twelfth federal reserve district, or by direct application to the federal reserve bank of San Francisco or its branches at Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Spokane and Salt Lake City. It will likewise be advantageous for the public to know that they can invest the proceeds of these redemptions (up to $4000 cash) profitably and with equal safety in not exceeding $5000 maturity value of the new issue of $4-1-2 per cent treasury savings certificates. These certificates mature in five years from date purchased, and are issued in three denominations; a $25 certificate can be bought for $20, a $100 certificate for $80 and a $1000 certificate for $800. Therefore they cannot depreciate in value; they are also registered, which fully protects the owner against theft, fire or loss of any kind. They are exempt from state and local taxation (except estate and inheritance taxes) and from the normal federal income tax. The government cannot "call" these certificates for redemption prior to maturity, but the treasury will, if desired, redeem them on demand any time before maturity, at values designated on the back of each lease on that date. As announced on February 9, the treasury is prepared to redeem any of 3-4 per cent Victory notes before June 15, at the option of the holder, at par and accrued interest to the date of optional redemption." In an address Francisco recently edited that "the Americans make it their duty approval the man up the animosity. In making this of course did not should be criticizing the juvenile antagonism of our demagogue or hatred of someone who have foreign try determined foreign country for the peace and peace States. Washington decision which another an half habitual fondness a slave." He sans of alienism America in the past continued, a final antagonism in: "So, likewise, ment of one nation produces a variety for the favorite illusions of an interest in cases where interest exists, the enmities of former into a quarrels and we out adequate information. It leads to the favorite rivened to others, ing with what is retained, and by will and a dispense the parties froleges are within ambitions, corruptzens (who develop favorite nation) sacrifice the intuition country without even with popular appearance of a ligation, a common public opinion c and rapidly increasing willingness to shirk individual responsibility and to rely upon the public treasury for a livelihood. The Republican administration yielded to no such suggestion, but a conference was called and each industry and each municipality was urged to conduct its business in such a way as to afford relief to as large an extent as possible to those who were most in need of work. This was done and experience has shown that there was a minimum of suffering. Today no unemployment problem troubles us. When this administration came into power it also found confronting it the problem of relief for an agricultural industry suffering the greatest depression in its history. There were suggestions that the government appropriate money to buy supplies, which plan would be meant that the government would purchase locally all common farm equipment. This policy could with difficulty be resorted to in the scheme the Revisionary Act provided for treatment of agriculture, the result that there was already and healthful revival in the market value of agricultural products. This movement is not yet completed, but it has been started in such a way as to assure satisfactory results. The instances mentioned are illustrations of the Republican policy enunciated by President Harding of having "less government in business and more business in government." The country had another illustration of that same policy a few days ago when lumber manufacturers were called into conference for the purpose of planning a system of standards and inspection in order to assure uniformity and a square deal for the Therefore they cannot depreciate in value; they are also registered, which fully protects the owner against theft, fire or loss of any kind. They are exempt from state and local taxation (except estate and inheritance taxes) and from the normal federal income tax. The government cannot "call" these certificates for redemption prior to maturity, but the treasury will, if desired, redeem them on demand any time before maturity, at values designated on the back of each certificate, equivalent to the price paid, plus interest at about 3 1/2 per cent per year, compounded semi-annually. SWAT THE APHIS Swat the aphis and fatten your pocketbook. This is the slogan that is being used by the California Walnut Growers' association in a drive for bigger and better walnuts. If walnut aphis can be kept from sapping the vitality of the trees and walnut worms can be prevented from boring into the young walnuts, California can produce a world-beating crop this year, according to W. T. Webber, sales manager of the association. In a statement to the associated growers recently Mr. Webber urged that an aphis and worm dusting campaign be waged in all the walnut growing districts of the state during the month of June and July. He says that if the growers will make a special effort this month and next to eradicate aphis, worms and other pests they will make more money this year by producing larger walnuts, and be benefitted next year because their trees will be more vigorous. The association, Mr. Webber announced, is in a position to supply ANAHEIM GAZETTE MANY CARS STOLEN IN THE RURAL DISTRICTS Rural districts are suffering from the attacks of the auto thief this summer throughout southern California, and hundreds of cars are being stolen at points outside of the cities. Officials of the Automobile Club of Southern California have secured reports from county officials giving actual accounts of their activities, and working upon the information so supplied a campaign to thwart the theft gangs' work is to be waged at once. Many motorists wrote to the theft bureau of the organization asking if the mere removal of the switch key from the car is sufficient to prevent the theft of the machine. Auto drivers want to know if that constitutes "locking the car." No—it does not. This is the reply universally given by the expert thief catchers of the club. Other precautions are necessary to preserve the car safely now, since this part of the state has become the mecca for some of the most expert automobile stealing gangs in America. Any device which will cause the thief to take more than three minutes in unlocking or filing or breaking is identified as a lock, but otherwise the car is not safe in any district, whether in thickly or thinly populated centers. No special device is recommended, but any safe lock is urged. Special owner's identification marks are also urged upon car owners. "Put a mark on your car in a secret place so even if the thieves tear the body to pieces and re-build it, you can know that the car is yours," say club detectives. These secret marks should be so placed that they can be found only by the owner. A FAIR PAGE TWO SCHOOLS OF ALIEN PROPAGANDA In an address delivered at San Francisco recently Elihu Root declared that "the American people should make it their duty to punish with disapproval the man who willfully stirs up the animosity of foreign nations." In making this declaration Mr. Root of course did not mean that there should be criticism of those who, in defending the just rights and interests of their own country might stir the antagonism of other countries. The demagogue or fanatic who preaches hatred of some other nations, would have the foreign policies of this country determined by hostility to some foreign country is, truly, a menace to the peace and prosperity of the United States. Washington declared that "the nation which indulges toward another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness., is in some degree a slave." He denounced the partisans of alienism who seek to involve America in the animosities of Europe and continued, after deprecating special antagonism toward any one nation: "So, likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusions of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of privileges denied to others, by unnecessarily participating with what ought to have been retained, and by exciting jealousy, ill will and a disposition to retaliate in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld, and it gives to ambitions, corrupted or deluded citizens (who devote themselves to the favorite nation) facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country without odium; sometimes even with popularity; gilding with the appearance of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable deference to public opinion or a laudable zeal for association officials, is frequently less than the additional cost of packing house labor required to handle a crop of small and wormy walnuts from a poorly tended grove. No special device is recommended, but any safe lock is urged. Special owner's identification marks are also urged upon car owners. "Put a mark on your car in a secret place so even if the thieves tear the body to pieces and re-build it, you can know that the car is yours," say club detectives. These secret marks should be so placed that they can be found only by the owner. A FAIR PAGE The minute Democratic inspection of the first year of President Harding's administration carries no terrors to the Republican heart. The record is there and speaks for itself. It needs no arguments to bolster it up in the eyes of the public. The voter need only make comparison between the state affairs on March 4th, 1921, and March 4th, 1922, to convince him of what has been accomplished in a short twelve-month period. The public debt has been reduced by practically a billion dollars; our moral debt to the nation's defenders has been liquidated to the extent of spending many millions in the construction of the best hospitals for their care; the flood of cheap labor from abroad has been checked by the passage of a drastic immigration law; the money of the taxpayers has been conserved by means of a budget law that brings revenue and expenditures into close relationship, thereby effecting savings of hundreds of millions over the old fiscal system; about 10 per cent has been added to the average value of every Liberty bond; deflation has been conducted with the least disturbance to business, and probably more rapid progress has been made toward general prosperity than in any other year in the country's history. TO STUDY EGG MARKETING With 250,000 laying hens in Orange county at the present time and the number increasing at the rate of nearly 30 per cent a year, the importance of egg marketing in the county has been called prominently to the attention of the farm bureau. As a result a committee from the poultry department has been appointed to look into the egg marketing conditions and to report at a later date the results of their investigations and recommend methods of marketing to secure the best interests of the poultry man. A. E. Block, of Costa Mesa, chair- NO INTERVENTION The policy of the last administration in stepping into wage disputes, fixing schedules of pay and rules of employment, with possible federal operation as the alternative, is not to be followed by President Harding. He has made it plain that in the case of the coal strike he does not propose to intervene with a plan for the operation of the mines, the settlement of the wage question, or the disposition of any of the other controversies between the operators and the miners. The attitude of the government will be to extend helpful aid in any plan that the employers and employees themselves may evolve. Of course the department of labor is keeping in close touch with developments in the coal situation, so that whatever Mr. Harding may do will be with full knowledge of the facts.
