EFFORTS TO FORGET The Democratic party is trying hard to forget its record. An old habit, but with us just as strong today as ever. The donkey is trying to eliminate the past, and make promises for the future. In the Democratic platform, adopted at the Democratic convention in Hartford, we find the following effort to forget: "We charge that the industrial depression which began shortly after the inauguration of President Harding was due to the cutting off of our foreign markets." The industrial depression to which the Democratic state convention, in Connecticut referred was in full bloom when Mr. Harding was inaugurated and the Republican party took charge of the government. This depression began in the early summer of 1920, due to the cumulative result of Democratic policies such as restriction of credits which strangled industry; the menace of increasing imports under free trade; the tremendous increase in immigration, adding to the number of men seeking work; and a number of other factors. That there is no doubt of this, let the record be cited. The newspaper columns of the early summer of 1920 were filled with accounts of factories being closed or their forces being radically reduced. Samuel Gompers issued several statements in the summer and fall of 1920 deploring the idleness of hundreds of thousands of workers. In November, 1920, the unemployment situation became so critical that the executive council of the American Federation of Labor held a special session to consider ways and means of relieving conditions. In many of great stride in meeting one of the great problems of the day—tha of preserving our national beauty Scarcely a season passes but some great old tree in our yard or our neighbor's is cut down. Yet that should not cause us sorrow if we saw another spring up in its place. We must get the tree planting habit if our cities are to remain beautiful in nature's treasures. Plan to plant a tree each year. REPUBLICAN CONSTRUCTION The day that the administration pens its "Warren G. Harding" to the declaration of American ship independence otherwise known as the ship subsidy bill, will be the day on which the capstone of Republican achievement is hoisted into place and the office is fully completed. A protective tariff, which is easily adjusted and which meets with the approval of farmer and manufacturer a tax law which in the near future may require some attention, a budget law which regulates the consumption of funds which the tax and tariff law produce, a re-organized and consolidated veterans' bureau, a refunding commission to take care of the debts owing to Uncle Sam, a good roads law which provide new arteries of internal trade communication, a thoroughly renovated postal department, a law for the development and regulation of national water power, an immigration law which will keep loafers and undesirables from the building, a law regulating grain exchanges, provision for co-operative marketing by farmers, a bureau for the betterment of working conditions for women, and many other features which come under the head of all modern improvements as adopted by Re.

SCOUT DOOSEY The Roosevelt the court of honour county Boy Scout night in the I church of Santa tended by more scouts and visited the court of home this particular day dore Roosevelt's Boy Scouts of Am From the very b Samuel Gompers issued several statements in the summer and fall of 1920 deploring the idleness of hundreds of thousands of workers. In November, 1920, the unemployment situation became so critical that the executive council of the American Federation of Labor held a special session to consider ways and means of relieving conditions. In many of the industrial centers local relief measures were taken in the fall and winter of 1920 to feed the unemployed. On December 28, 1920, the United States employment service bureau of the department of labor, then under Democratic administration, gave a statement estimating that 2,000,000 workers ordinarily employed were out of a job. On January 6, 1921, the Plumb Plan league, composed of American Federation of Labor affiliated unions and the railroad brotherhoods, issued a formal statement to the effect that 2,350,000 men ordinarily employed were out of work. On April 25, 1921, six weeks after President Harding's inauguration, Mr. Gompers issued a public statement that the number of unemployed at that time was 5,000,000. These facts utterly dispose of the charge that the industrial depression did not begin until after the inauguration of President Harding. The second part of the above charge in the Democratic state platform of Connecticut is that our foreign markets were cut off by the Republican party. The refutation of that is found in the reports of the department of commerce. No one would take the war period as normal because during that period production of everything except war material had practically stopped in all European countries. The United States was practically "keeping" the whole world by food and materials it exported. Because of that fact our exports during the world war were phenomenal. Going back to the pre-war period of our commerce, we find that in 1912, the year President Wilson was elected our foreign exports to the world's markets amounted to $2,204,000,000. In 1913 they amounted to $2,465,000,000. In 1914 they amounted to $2,364,000,000. On August 1, 1914, the European war began and from that time on our eternal trade communication, a thoroughly renovated postal department, a law for the development and regulation of national water power, an immigration law which will keep loafers and undesirables from the building, a law regulating grain exchanges, provision for co-operative marketing by farmers, a bureau for the betterment of working conditions for women, and many other features which come under the head of all modern improvements as adopted by Republican builders make up the structure. Mr. Harding has displayed wise statesmanship in delaying the ship subsidy measure until the public were fully informed in the matter. It is quite probable that six months ago the measure would have had no easy sledding through congress, but the intervening months have borne good fruit. It is now certain that several Democrats in congress will support the bill, and the attitude of the middle west and western congressmen has recorded a decided change in favor of it. Indeed a New York newspaper which has been, because of its intensely British slant, a bitter opponent of ship subsidy, only recently made the reluctant statement that In present day inven factor of every sec "Background" is n behind the invest scope of its proper it is soundly fin stable market, and Edison Company f years has been a c and materials it exported. Because of that fact our exports during the world war were phenomenal. Going back to the pre-war period of our commerce, we find that in 1912, the year President Wilson was elected our foreign exports to the world's markets amounted to $2,204,000,000. In 1913 they amounted to $2,465,000,000. In 1914 they amounted to $2,364,000,000. On August 1, 1914, the European war began and from that time on our exports jumped to unheard of figures. Coming to the Harding administration, we find that for the twelve months ending June 30, 1922, our exports were $3,770,000,000, or over $1,300,000,000 greater than they were during the greatest export year of the prewar period under President Wilson. This effectually disposes of the charge that the Harding administration cut off our foreign markets. TREE PLANTING WEEK A few weeks ago "Plan to Plant Another Tree" suggested that National Tree Planting Week be observed October 27-November 3. The press of the country civic and agricultural organizations gave the suggestion wide circulation and the thought is now being crystalized into a reality. Governors of states have issued proclamations setting aside October 27-November 3 as Tree Planting Week. Mayors of cities are proclaiming Tree Planting Week locally. The proclamation of National Tree Planting Week is meeting with instant approval. From coast to coast state governors are urgently recommending it. Public officials in cities throughout the country are supporting the movement. Through the press civic associations and other public organizations, it has gained tremendous headway. A national Tree Planting Week is a ANAHEIM GAZETTE "there are too many middle west and western senators and congressmen who are ready to accept the ship subsidy now for any opposing element to make much headway." Probably the greatest incentive to support the bill came when it was publicly shown up on the floor of the senate how viciously Great Britain was swinging her axe in the dark to scuttle the American merchant marine. The reaction to this was so pronounced that it is reported the correspondent of the London Post warned the British reading public that they had best lay off a bit as the Americans were getting mad and more determined than ever to put the ship subsidy bill through. But the warning came too late. In addition, the official figures showing the slump in the American, and the gain in British carrying trade were sufficient to convince this country that if we were to maintain a marine we must aid it just as practically every country in Europe is doing, by government grants; that if we were not in a position to carry the bulk of our own goods in our own ships, the foreign competitors would soon work us into position where export trade would be curtailed to a dangerous minimum. SCOUT DOOSEVELT MEMORIAL The Roosevelt memorial session of the court of honor for the Orange county Boy Scouts was held Friday night in the First Congregational church of Santa Ana, which was attended by more than one hundred scouts and visitors. This session of the court of honor was planned for this particular date because of Theodore Roosevelt's connection with the Boy Scouts of America during his life. From the very beginning of the scout Theodore Roosevelt in their annual pilgrimage, where a brief ceremony was held and many scouts again pledged allegiance to the principals of citizenship which Roosevelt has established in this organization. Thos. H. Weston, building contractor of Santa Ana, Tuesday night assumed the scoutmastership of troop No. 9 of Santa Ana, succeeding W. E McKay, resigned. Mr. McKay has had charge of the troop for the last two years with the exception of a short absence when he was executive at Stan Islaus county, and has built up a won derful-organization both in morale and scout activities. Mr. Weston was elected-by the Elks' lodge to serve as scoutmaster last Tuesday night, and on assuming the leadership of the troop, stated that it was his intention to make this the best troop in Orange county and proved that he intended to carry that hope out in revealing some of his plans. BAUER BLOCKS ORDINANCE George Bauer, who has been circulating referendum petitions aimed to block the enforcement of the Newport Beach ordinance regulating dressing and undressing in autos. Monday morning filed with the Newport Beach city clerk his petition. Tre document bears 125 signatures. There are now registered in the city 755 qualified electors, so that 15 per cent of that number means 114 properly qualified names. Thus, the petition as filed, if all the names checked are found correct, has 11 more names than sufficient to invoke the referendum. The referendum automatically prevents the enforcement of the ordinance until the voters of Newport dersigned administrator of the estate of Mary Ann Gilchrist, deceased will sell at private sale in one parcel to the highest bidder, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter mentioned, and subject to confirmation by said Superior Court, on or after the 4th day of November, 1922, at 10 o'clock A.M. of said day, at the office of Leonard Evans, No. 311 First National Bank Building, in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, all the right, title and interest of said deceased, or of her estate in and to the following described lands situate in the County of Orange, State of California, and being more particularly described as follows, to-wit: The Northeast quarter of the North east quarter of the Northeast quarter of Section 21.

Oct. 19-26 Nov. 2 The Roosevelt memorial session of the court of honor for the Orange county Boy Scouts was held Friday night in the First Congregational church of Santa Ana, which was attended by more than one hundred scouts and visitors. This session of the court of honor was planned for this particular date because of Theodore Roosevelt's connection with the Boy Scouts of America during his life. From the very beginning of the scout movement Robsevelt was one of the principal law-workers in it. He served on a troop and entertained that troop of scouts at his home at Oyster Bay many times, so that the Boy Scouts of America feel very strongly toward Roosevelt and pay him homage every opportunity that arises. The Garden Grove troop also held a Theodore Roosevelt memorial banquet last Tuesday evening, at which time A. J. Woodworth gave a brief outline of the life of Roosevelt. The northern session of the court of honor held Tuesday night, was also partially devoted to a memorial expression for Robsevelt. Daniel Carter Beard, national scout commissioner, led several hundred boys from New York to the grave of NOTICE In the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Orange.
