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 Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter OFFICIAL CITY PAPER LEAGUE JOINS SIGHT Taxation of publicly owned public utilities, their regulation as are privately owned public utilities, the placing of absolute power and control over franchises in the hands of the state railroad commission and the proposed amendment to the initiative provisions of the state laws are direct attacks on the democracy of the state of California and will hinder the progress and development of California cities. This is the position taken by the League of California Municipalities which has a membership of 240 cities in announcing its attackks on propositions Nos. 10, 11, 27 and 30 to be voted on at the general election in November and in a statement sent out, the electors are asked to vote "no" on these measures, as a defeat of these bills will be in the best interests of the people of the state. The decision of the league to make a fight against the enactment of these measures was made at the recent state convention in San Jose when the several matters to come before the people at the election in November were discussed and it was practically which invariably drifts into conflicts of one interest with others with social dangers, which do not arise from individual competition. But undoubtedly the east suffers more than we from the congestion of alien races having no conception of American ideals and no sympathy with each other. Any race degenerates in crowded cities, but it is not easy to conceive of such conditions as Dr. Silver describes at the east developing in a population such as the original American stock. We may be thankful that we live in the west. We shall remain happy in the ratio in which we cling to American ideals. It is interesting to note that Rabbi Silver has acquired his extensive knowledge of existing conditions in this country while touring the United States to raise funds for creating a great company for developing hydroelectric power from the waters of the River Jordan in Palestine. We read in the Scriptures that upon one occasion the Jordan "waters, which come down from above, stood and rose up in a heap." This time it is proposed that they shall do the same by the power of man alone and stay till they are released for useful work. And then Palestine will become not only "a land of milk and honey," but of water and skilled industries also. A WORLD SAFE FOR PEACE Secretary Hoover in a speech to Detroit business men said that the Harding administration has removed war as a possibility for our generation. That together with a return toward normal conditions in taxation and expenditure, forms the outstanding achievement upon which its fame will rest. The war and its outcropings loom large in any perspective of world events. Nothing could exceed importance to the human race the work this board physician and licensed under. 8.

The decision of the league to make a fight against the enactment of these measures was made at the recent state convention in San Jose when the several matters to come before the people at the election in November were discussed and it was practically unanimously agreed by the representatives of almost every city and town in the state, there present, that the interests of their several communities demand the defeat of these measures. Proposition No. 10 appears on the ballot under the title of "Taxation of Publicly Owned Public Utilities," and provides that all property owned, operated, managed or controlled by any municipality, county, district or other public agency for the supplying of heat, light, power, transportation telegraph or telephone service shall be assessed and taxed in the same manner and in the same extent as are properties owned by private corporations. The enactment of such a law, the league points out in launching its fight against this measure, will bring about a system of double taxation on the people generally and will be unjust and unfair to the citizens of California. Proposition No. 11 applies to the same public service organizations owned by the public and would subject them to the same regulation and restrictions as are public service corporations owned by private concerns. Such a measure would hamper the development of publicly owned service organizations and through eliminating such subjects would tend to advance costs to the people for such service. Proposition No. 27, which provides an amendment to the initiative provisions, is deemed by the league to be a "deadly attack upon the democracy in California in that it asks the people of this state to surrender control over taxation." This proposal applies to all petitions relating to assessments or collection of taxes and in affect would destroy the initiative procedure, the league says. The placing of absolute control and authority over the granting of franchises for street railway systems and other utilities is placed in the hands of the state railroad commission and taken from the control of cities and Secretary Hoover in a speech to Detroit business men said that the Harding administration has removed war as a possibility for our generation. That together with a return toward normal conditions in taxation and expenditure, forms the outstanding achievement upon which its fame will rest. The war and its outcroppings loom large in any perspective of world events. Nothing could exceed in importance to the human race the work of abolishing war. But it is unwise to congratulate ourselves too soon. The real way to abolish war is to abolish the causes that lead to war. It is to make the world safe for peace. To do that it is necessary to have some means of enforcing justice between nations. Without minimizing the importance of these two achievements of the administration it is allowable to venture the suggestion that there is another which will in time take high rank among the things for which the administration may be remembered. That is the clarifying of the relations between capital and labor and the vetoing of the program of wild radicalism which has ruled some of the councils of labor in recent years. This is a victory of the courts chiefly, but it has had the moral support of the administration and Harding will get some of the credit for it. The several decisions of the supreme court of the United States on industrial issues are epochal and will result in an entire revolution in the philosophy of the subject. The doctrine of personal responsibility for damages, as it has been laid down, will forever end the idea that a voluntary organization of persons can pursue a course of criminal actions and escape responsibility for it. The indictment of the murderers at Herrin is indicative of a determination to bring the law home to the frenzied mob. The determination to investigate thoroughly the whole situation of the coal business, if thoroughly and fairly carried out, will mark another achievement to show that the government stahds for right and justice no matter who may go up or down in the scales. The way toward getting value received for the money spent on various departments of the government is opened by the adoption of the budget system. Real economy consists in getting good value for the money spent, in government as well as in business. ( INITIATIVE NO. 20 Following are twenty reasons why you should vote for proposition No. 20 on the November ballot: 1. Will not cost the tarpayers one penny. 2. Will save the taxpayers thousands of dollars, by ending the twenty-eight years of legislative and court battles between osteopaths and the political medical doctors. 3. Will give justice to osteopathy without doing injustice to any other system. 4. Does not change the existing educational standards, which require both the osteopaths and the medical doctors, the same nine years of education, and the passing of the same identical three day written examination for licenses to practice. 5. Grants to osteopathy what the medical, dental, veterinary, pharmacy and optometry professions now have namely: Fair and intelligent administration of their licensing laws by their own examining boards. 6. Provides simply and only that the existing licensing law for osteopaths shall be administered by the governor, and a self-sustaining osteo-pathic examining board, selected by him. 7. Provides that each member of SEAT OF AMERICAN IDEALS Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver, who is widely familiar with conditions in this country and Europe, states that the distinctive ideals which have influenced American life, bringing such comfort to our people and so attractive to others, are best maintained in western America. In the east the masses are rapidly taking over the European viewpoint and attitude. And that attitude Dr. Silver describes as one of "intolerance and suppression all forms of prohibition and religious conflict." And the Rabbi might have added, "all other forms of conflict." The American ideal has been that each should do what he pleases, with due regard to the rights of others and the general welfare. Within such limits the feeling has been that each should mind his own business and let that of others alone. Possibly the maintenance of such ideals is not possible as population grows dense Economic pressure induces co-operation among those of like interests.

The total number of cars registered in this state for 1921 was 673,830—an increase of 157,632 autos in less than ten months of the year. The increase during 1921 over 1920 for California was only 104,938. The comparison of these figures is pointed out by the auto club as indicative of the tremendous increase in cars for this state during 1922. According to additional figures obtained by the club, there is every evidence that all records for transcontinental travel will be broken here this year. Thousands of cars are arriving each week over the transcontinental routes, more than fifty a day coming over one road alone. BROKERAGE SWINDLERS The expose of a new method of "reloading" stock purchasers was disclosed in San Diego, Friday, October 20th, according to a statement released by the state corporation department. C. C. Harris; the prime mover in Harris & Company, appeared before Justice S. T. Jennings in San Diego on a charge of violation of the corporate securities act. The technical charge covered his operation as a company without a company's license and as an individual without an individual brokerage license. "San Diego business men co-operating with the district attorney and better business bureau investigators from this department are said to have revealed a new application of the 'reloading' of stock investors," stated Commissioner E. M. Daugherty. Harris & Company posed as investment counsellors. Shortly after their organization, some of the reputable financial houses are said to have been induced to furnish them with market reports. Investors are allowed 17.

DEATH HARVEST MUST STOP That the harvest of child lives on the streets and roads of southern California must stop, is the growing sentiment among the municipalities of the southern and central counties. According to Elmer Heidt, manager of the Santa Ana branch of the Automobile Club of Southern California officials of that organization declare that more drastic measures are now contemplated to protect the children from the rush of careless motorists—and to protect the motorists from the rush of careless children. "Statistics show at the present time that more and more children are paying the penalty of playing in the roads and streets than ever before in the history of the west," said Heidt. "In nearly all the larger communities restrictive measures have been taken but it is in the enforcing of these measures that the greatest good is to be accomplished." "Children are forbidden by law in most instances to play ball of any kind in the city streets. "It is also generally against the law to use a coaster in the streets or roads." "Law usually stops skaters or coasters from nipping rides behind auto-mobiles. "But in some instances these laws are not being enforced, and the auto club is starting a campaign to see that they are enforced." "An appeal of particular importance will be made to parents. It is asked that the parents instruct their children to do their playing in vacant lots or public or school playgrounds. This matter will also be brought to the attention of the public schools in evy." "San Diego business men co-operating with the district attorney and better business bureau, investigators from this department are said to have revealed a new application of the re-loading of stock investors," stated Commissioner E. M. Daugherty. "Harris & Company posed as investment counsellors. Shortly after their organization, some of the reputable financial houses are said to have been induced to furnish them with market reports. Investors are alleged to have been invited to call at this office and reveal the nature of their stock and bond holdings. It is charged in San Diego that these security holders were then traded out of their certificates for less valuable ones." Lawrence J. Moran held a brokerage license, but the state corporation department is said to have evidence that Harris was not only prime mover of this company, but acted as a broker himself. Harris is said to have financed the defense of Carukin and Donohue, two Los Angeles brokers arrested on a felony charge three weeks ago. FIGHT SMELL WITH LIME Lime at the plant of the Santa Ana Sugar company, at Dyer, will be used in an effort to eliminate the malodor cited in a plea for a restraining order filed by District Attorney A. P. Nelson last week, it was learned today. Officials of the sugar company, in conference with Nelson, expressed their willingness to co-operate with the county officials in eliminating the stench, which they are said to have admitted exists. A plan proposed by the sugar company was to use lime, mixed thoroughly with the pulp and waste juices which are supposed to have caused the odor. By this means it was hoped that the waste, which flows in ditches through Paularino to the ocean, would cease to be a nuisance, as the district attorney alleges it was. It was considered probable that if this action eliminates the odor, proceedings against the sugar company would be dropped. JOHNSON AND THE FARMERS Several bills dealing with agricultural financing are pending before congress. As a member of the western farm bloc, United States Senator the agricultural population, in creating a larger market for the product of the industries of California and the nation, in maintaining the volume of railroad traffic, in providing employment for thousands of workers, and in putting the whole country on the road to better business conditions." STATE DEVELOPMENT BOARD The California Development association is preparing a program that will make this organization with its state-wide affiliation of civic and commercial bodies, a clearing house for everything tending to promote the interest of California as a whole. At a meeting of the board of directors, representing some of the outstanding men of the state in civic affairs, a program of "co-ordination" was approved which will enable the association to "tie" into the various movements now under way to promote California's expansion and development and to render an expert service to prospective settlers, to affiliated commercial bodies and to communities throughout the state. This program embodies three major activities which as adopted were outlined as follows: (1) Immediate compilation of accurate data, under the immediate direction of a recognized authority, of the resources of the state, agricultural industrial and financial. (2) Devising ways and means of bringing about an influx of desirable settlers, both agricultural and indus-trial to the state; co-ordinating and co-operating with all existing agencies in the state to that end. (3) Immediate organization of a bu-reau to furnish assistance in building up existing chambers of commerce and commercial bodies of the state. CALIFORNIA LEADS California is breaking all records in automobile registration, and it may lead America in its total this year. Information to this effect was contained in a compilation of figures received from the headquarters of the organization of the motor vehicle department. The report stated that there were more automobiles in California at this time than there were in New York January 1 of this year. The registration for 1921 in New York, which led America last year was 812,031. The present registration in California is approximately 834,192. California was fourth on the list of states for the number of automobiles registered last year, but there is a possibility that it will jump to second place this year, and if eastern states eliminate all "dead" or defunct numbers from their registration totals at the end of the year, then California may jump into first place. The registration figures as issued in this state contain no "dead" numbers. Ohio and Pennsylvania, and, of course, New York, were ahead of Cali- JOHNSON AND THE FARMERS Several bills dealing with agricultural financing are pending before congress. As a member of the western farm bloc, United States Senator Hiram W. Johnson is vitally interested in them, and in all proposed legislation for the welfare of the farming interests of California and the nation. When he returns to Washington, Senator Johnson will continue his work in behalf of the farmer where it was left off at the last session of congress. With the other senators of the western farm bloc he will seek laws that will make permanent the agricultural financing work now being carried on by the war finance corporation. In a statement issued at Republican headquarters the senator said: "The problem of maintaining our agriculture upon a sound basis lies at the very foundation of our national economic and social policies, and every intelligent citizen most have a deep interest in its solution. Agriculture is not a sectional or class interest. It is, in the broadest sense, a national interest. Adequate financing for the farmer and stockman, synchronizing with the natural processes of production and consumption, would go far toward stabilizing the whole business machinery of the country. It would tend to level the great peaks in marketing, with their accompanying congestion of transportation and marketing facilities, and to substitute a steadier market and a more even flow of commodities through the year. It would be a vital factor in restoring and maintaining the buying power of A new and remarkable California festival holds its second annual production on November 4th and 5th, at 2:15 p.m., at Palm Springs, when Garnet Holme presents in the desert play "Tahquitz," dealing with the Indian legend of the Tahquitz canyon. The play is presented in the wild canyon situated about one mile from Palm Springs, and takes place while the setting sun throws a thousand lights and shades on the desert hills. Prominent professional actors from Los Angeles form the cast, many of whom appeared in the Pilgrimage play. A great crowd attended the performance last year and the affair seems likely to be a great attraction not only to the tourists but also to the many Californians who have never seen the beauties of the desert. Mrs. Kathryn Edson, the famous dancer, who has made a study of Indian dances, will dance. Indian students from the Sherman institute at River side will appear and perform their dances. Jeffrey Williams, a well known actor, with Susan Severance will take the principal roles. Among these actively supporting the festival are Frank Miller, H. Lovekin, Mrs. Coffman, Dr. J. J. Kocher and others. Big Street Dance Everybody Welcome Thursday Eve..
