Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuchal, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entred at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter HIRAM PEEVED AGAIN Senator Hiram Johnson's latest objection of hate must make interesting reading to those who have hitherto blindly followed his lead and loyalty supported him in all his campaigns. Hiram is peeved, and justly so, because a confidential letter written to a friend in Sacramento unaccountably found its way into print, and now he is spitting venom on every side and snapping at friend and foe alike. The entire nation is laughing at him, and the knowledge that he has become a joke has not improved his temper. Johnson sees his wonderfully efficient machine in California falling to plieses, and in his letter he acknowledged that his chances of carrying the state in the coming primary were exceedingly doubtful. He confesses that staunch friends who have fought by his side in the past have fallen away and he proceeds to lambast them with a pen dipped in vitrol. Johnson is a past master in the art of vituperation. In fact, the only argument he uses is abuse, and his devoted friends are now feeling the sting of his venomous tongue. One of the things that has lashed Hiram into such a state of frenzy is the knowledge that his vile temper and his vicious disposition prevented his reaching the goal which has been the limit of his ambitious dreams. On in the community property during the life of her husband unless a future decision upon the as yet untried act of 1917 gives this right to her. INCORPORATION PLAN HANDED LEGAL JOLT Receiving an opinion from the district attorney's office to the effect that the La Habra incorporation proceedings must be governed by the new incorporation law, effective August 16, because the first hearing on the petition to incorporate was not held until August 21, the board of supervisors continued to Septmber 17 the hearing to act on brief by Attorney Z. B. West, Jr., representing the petitioners. West, disagreeing with the opinion given by Chief Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mozley, who advised the board in the matter, asked for time to prepare his arguments and cite authorities. The petition to incorporate was filed with the county clerk August 15. West contends that the board's jurisdiction commenced then, which would bring the proceedings under the provisions of the old law. This point is regarded as likely to settle the fate of the proceedings, although other points regarding the validity of preliminary proceedings have been raised by objectors. The old law makes it necessary for property owners who do not want to be included within the proposed boundaries to file objections and, even then, the matter of including them is at the discretion of the supervisors. Under the new law it is illegal to include owners of "outside aureage" who have not actually petitioned to be included. Should the new law govern the proceedings, much of the territory contemplated as a part of the proposed municipality will be automatically excluded. KNIT GOODS AND PROTECTION and he proceeds to lambast them with a pen dipped in vitrol. Johnson is a past master in the art of vituperation. In fact, the only argument he uses is abuse, and his devoted friends are now feeling the sting of his venomous tongue. One of the things that has lashed Hiram into such a state of frenzy is the knowledge that his vile temper and his vicious disposition prevented his reaching the final which has been the limit of his ambitious dreams. On the evening before the final vote was taken at the Chicago convention Senator Harding called at Johnson's headquarters and told him that he (Harding) would be nominated for the presidency on the day following, and asked Johnson to be his running mate. Hiram indignantly declined and when the final vote was taken, held his 109 votes in line for himself, refusing to release them and make the nomination unanimous. That he contemplated splitting the party again is well known, but after canvassing the situation he discovered that he would have but a pitiful following, and his defection could not prevent the election of Harding, consequently after sulking for a month he emerged from his tent and gave the ticket a half-hearted support. He now realizes that had he accepted Harding's offer he would be occupying the presidential chair, the seat he has coveted all his life, and which is now forever beyond his reach. Johnson went to Europe some months ago for the express purpose of gathering material with which to fight the Harding administration. On his return William Randolph Hearst and Mayor Hylan, both bitter and uncompromising enemies of the Republican party, met him and provided a feast at which he was the honored guest. They must have flattered him and handed him glittering promises, because in his confidential letter he stated that his chances of carrying New York were better than his chances in California. He is now hastening home with the forlorn hope of gathering up the scattered pieces of his machine and getting it in working order again. COMMUNITY PROPERTY LAW A test case of the newly-enacted community property law of California, as a direct result of the opinion of Justice Lawlor, of the state supreme court, defining the status of the wife in respect to jointly owned property, was predicted by attorneys in San Francisco. KNIT GOODS AND PROTECTION The recent census report on the knit goods industry presents some interesting figures which suggest the value of protection in the development of that industry. Starting with 1914 we had 1428 establishments, employing 159,673 persons, payroll totalling $82,320,000. The value of the products was $258,913.00. Our chief competitor in the knit goods industry before the war was Germany, which, from 1914 to 1919 was practically banished from the American market by war embargoes and the bankruptcy which followed the war. During that five year period the knit goods industry grew to 1950 establishments, employing 186,673 persons, the payroll totalling $157,526,000, and the value of products $713,140,000. In 1921 there was a slump. A glance at the import statistics will show a material increase in the imports of knit goods in that year, and the depression beginning in 1920 having carried over far into 1921, the purchasing power of the domestic consumers, was considerably curtailed. The number of knit goods establishments for 1921 show an increase over 1919 of 128, or a total of 2078, but the number of employees had fallen to 175,364. Wages and salaries showed an increase to $159,929,000, but the value of products fell to $634,074,000. Recent reports concerning the knit goods industry testify to the fact that it is enjoying a prosperity greater than ever before experienced in its history, and this, of course, means the purchasing by the wage earners in the industry of a greater amount of products of the farm and other commodities. The tariff on knit goods helps to mend the entire industrial fabric of the United States. THE RIGHT AGE IS YOUR AGE A magazine is publishing a series of articles by well-known women as to which age is best and happies. One in favor of 30 was pleasantly appealing. The one holding up 60 as the desirable age also has its points. One is of including them is at the discretion of the supervisors.

County ed Melyin He COMMUNITY PROPERTY LAW A test case of the newly-enacted community property law of California, as a direct result of the opinion of Justice Lawlor, of the state supreme court, defining the status of the wife in respect to jointly owned property, was predicted by attorneys in San Francisco. The clause of Justice Lawlor's opinion, which re-affirms and brings up to date the ancient Spanish view of community property—which is the basis for the California law—that a wife has no vested interest in community property during the life of her husband forms a basis for a petition to have declared unconstitutional the community property law, some prominent lawyers believe. Other lawyers expressed belief that the law of 1917, limiting the powers of the husband over the disposal and transfer of community property, gives the wife a vested right in the property during her life time. This is held to support the new community property act that permits a wife to will her half of the estate upon her death independent of her husband. The Lawlor decision contained two important declarations which it is believed are destined to settle much disputed angles of matrimonial property law. These clauses declare in effect: That personal property acquired as such by husband and wife and later transmitted to real property, still remains personal property in the eyes of the law, and visa versa. That the wife has no vested interest A magazine is publishing a series of articles by well-known women as to which age is best and happies. One in favor of 30 was pleasantly appealing. The one holding up 50 as the desirable age also has its points. One is promised which will make 60 still more delightful. But isn't any age the right age if it is the age one happens to be? The 10-year-old may long for the day when he can drive the car, or go in swimming whenever he wants; but when he or she gets right down to it, 10 seems a pretty good age. One is no longer a baby—one can climb trees and swim and play games with the gang, and doesn't yet have to bother with powder, rouge or algebra. At 20 the world opens with enchanting vision and with still more enchanting mystery. At 30, for the most part, one has found his work. Whether it be business, or writing, or bringing up the children, the work absorbs one's life, fills one's heart and is in itself the truest happiness. At 40 one begins to see the gains come in. The business has out its teeth. The bond in the safe deposit box no longer demands its monthly payment, but pays a dividend instead. The children have ceased to be all care, and are friendly little comrades. One has ceased to be a plodding apprentice at one's life work and the joy of a sure craftsmanship is won. At 50, children are coming out of college and one can draw a breath. ANAHEIM GAZETTE Then, if one has been wise and accumulated living interests as he has bonds, should come the summer of life. All things growing in the sun, life becoming sweeter and larger with every passing day. At 70 there should be grand-children and a glowing autumn. Eighty should be like the 'teens—with its forward look to a greater freedom. Who says any one age is best? The great day is today. SANE PROSPERITY The most reassuring thing about the present period of prosperity is that prices have not advanced as they did during the war boom. It is particularly pleasing to record the fact that during the month of April the price level has not advanced at all. The greatest fear has been that the prices would follow the hectic course of 1919 and 1920, resulting in a nip-and-tuck race between prices and wages for a short, frenzied boom period, and then end inevitably in another disastrous slump. But nothing of the sort has happened. And from appearances, nothing of the sort is going to happen. Prices may raise a little more, during the next month or two, but they are not expected to do any skyrocketing. Business men have learned wisdom in such matters. And it is largely due to the moderation of business men that the present desirable situation is due. Manufacturers and retailers have put on the brakes instead of speeding up. While trying to increase output and turnover, most of them have increased prices as little as possible instead of as much as possible. This statement can be substantiated in almost any line of merchandise. The automobile industry, enjoying its biggest boom, with the public clamoring for cars, has not raised prices to anywhere near the war level. On a scouting expedition seeking evidence of killing deer out of season. They heard shooting. From a hill top, their glasses, they swept the surrounding country, and spied two men with shotguns about a half-mile away. One of them shot and picked up a bird, which Adkinson says was easily identified through the glasses as a dove. The two game wardens slipped down the canyon, and, according to Adkinson's report, one of the men carried four doves. The shooting alleged having taken place in Riveralde county, Adkinson went to Corona, where before Justice of the Peace H. K. Stahl he swore to complaint charging Eves L. Brown, of Tustin, and E. F. Marks, of Santa Ana, with killing game out of season. Each is to pay a fine of $25. Adkinson in pointing out that the dove season does not open until Saturday of this week said that he and his deputies all over the county are maintaining a close watch on 'sooners." "Everybody ought to have an even break," said Adkinson, "and we are doing our best to see that he does." RECLAMATION CO-OPERATION The reclamation bureau of the federal government is adopting more generous measures toward settlers on reclaimed lands. There has been lack of co-operation between the federal officials and settlers. This new policy should be conducive to betterment of conditions all around. For one thing the reclamation bureau is to encourage the sub-dividing of large holdings into small farms, where such proceeding would tend toward better farming. This is commendable. There should be encouragement of small farms and intensive methods of farming. The development of reclaimed lands is a matter of concern to the whole country. It means productive riches.

This statement can be substantiated in almost any line of merchandise. The automobile industry, enjoying its biggest boom, with the public clamoring for cars, has not raised prices to anywhere near the war level. Textiles, household machinery and other kinds of manufactured goods show almost as much moderation. Even building materials have not taken all the advantage they might have taken of the present unprecedented demand. And labor, though faring well, has done so, for the most part, without any special effort. Higher wages have come not from strikes, but from natural competition in the labor market. There has been level-headedness on all sides, and therefore the country is riding easily and pleasantly on a wave of prosperity which may last longer than most people have hoped. ANXIOUSLY WAITING FOR A NEW JUDGE With court calendars jammed for month ahead and the congestion steadily increasing, Orange county attorneys and court attaches still are waiting anxiously for relief in the form of a third superior court judge. The new department of the court, established by a law which became effective August 17, has, metaphorically speaking, all sails set, but is without a rudder. Following the visit of Governor F. W. Richardson to this county a few days ago, announcement of an appointment was confidently expected. Governor Richardson stated at the time of his visit that he had not hurried the appointment because, with the new addition to the court house not yet completed, there was no court for the new judge to preside over. However, it was understood that arrangements have been made for conducting sessions of department 3 in the chamber of the board of supervisors until the new court room is completed. It was thought that this arrangement was not known by the governor when he gave his reasons for leisurely procedure. The clerk and bailiff for the new court have been appointed for some time. County Clerk J. M. Backs named Melvin Head as clerk, and Sheriff should be conducive to betterment of conditions all around. For one thing the reclamation bureau is to encourage the sub-dividing of large holdings into small farms, where such proceeding would tend toward better farming. This is commendable. There should be encouragement of small farms and intensive methods of farming. The development of reclaimed lands is a matter of concern to the whole country. It means productive riches. This producing brings much added wealth into the community and distributes it generally. NEW AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Southern California wants an agricultural college, according to a resolution adopted by farm bureau representatives from the five counties south of Tehachapi, at a recent San Diego meeting. The popular demand for agricultural instruction in this section is indicated by the large number of farm students at Berkeley, Davis and Corvallis. It was pointed out that many of the agricultural problems of southern California are different from those in other parts of the state. A committee of thirteen was appointed to urge the establishment of a branch of the California college of agriculture in the southern part of the state, to be managed in connection with the southern branch of the University of California, although not necessarily on the same campus. DAFFODILS I've wandered up, and down, and late, And early by the way. And I've clasped hands with every fate That any folly may. And every fool has sent me flowers— That fond, that foolish plea— I can only remember the daffodils That once were sent to me. Violet, orchid, rose and rue, Lily, lilac and gillyflower, Sweet alyssum, and ivy, too, All for remembrance—that lasted an hour. With the fool and his folly they faint and fade, My flowers, my follies, all fade, all flee— But, oh! I remember the daffodils That love once sent to me! IMPERISHABLE ROADS However, it was understood that arrangements have been made for conducting sessions of department 3 in the chamber of the board of supervisors until the new court room is completed. It was thought that this arrangement was not known by the governor when he gave his reasons for leisurely procedure. The clerk and bailiff for the new court have been appointed for some time. County Clerk J. M. Backs named Melvin Head as clerk, and Sheriff Sam Jernigan appointed Dan Adams as bailiff before the new law went into effect. Thus all was in readiness except for the appointment of a judge to preside. Press of official business prevented the governor from making desired investigations, in connection with the appointment, in time to fill the place by August 17, but when his trip of investigation failed to bring the announcement, speculation has been revived anew. But there is a change in the character of this speculation. Whereas before it was "who?" now it has changed to "when?" FIELD GLASSES USED TO GET EVIDENCE That a pair of field glasses are a great aid in gathering evidence in cases involving the killing of game illegally was declared by County Game Warden W. E. Adkinson, who, with Deputy George Harris, last Sunday arrested two men on a charge of killing doves out of season. Adkinson and Harris were in the Belardes canyon, which lies on the edge of the county a few miles south of San Juan Hot Springs. They were Lily, lilac and gillyflower, Sweet alyssum, and ivy, too, All for remembrance—that lasted an hour. With the fool and his folly they faint and fade, My flowers, my follies, all fade, all flee— But, oh! I remember the daffodils That love once sent to me! IMPERISHABLE ROADS "Building perishable highways," says a good roads advocate, "is as short-sighted as it would be to erect houses without roofs in expectation that no rain will fall." The analogy is not so far-fetched as it may seem. Main highways already, in every part of the country, have become primarily motor highways, and the motor traffic is growing with a steadiness and rapidity that make any estimate of its future volume impossible. The one sure thing is that the traffic over all important roads in a few wye years will be thick and heavy beyond Andy present comparison. The only sensible thing is to build for that future traffic. It means wider pavements and deeper pavements, to keep the streams of traffic moving freely and to avoid breakage and frequent repair or renewal. And the task is not impossible, by any means. If the ancient Romans could build highways that lasted for hundreds of years with little attention, surely we can do it today in America, with our unrivalled wealth, materials and engineering skill. The only obstacle to permanent road building is the penny-wise policy that insists on cheap construction, ignoring...
