Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuechel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter LOOKING FORWARD AS WELL AS BACKWARD From a national point of view, the United States has made great strides economically, industrially, morally and spiritually during the past twelve months. The year has brought forth much prosperity and great returns for faith, confidence and industry. There is something about the average American, if filled with the true spirit of America, that breathes the spirit of hope, good cheer and helpfulness. A broad review of the year 1923 discloses a tremendous upward lift from the depression of the World war and its immediate reaction. While it may be true that the United States is the envy of all other nations because of its wealth and riches yet its greatest asset is the optimism and ever-present courage that fills the hearts and souls of all, in whatever walk of life. Economically viewed, the United States leads the world. Its material power was demonstrated in the World war. Industrially speaking, America's prosperous institutions, millions of wage earners restored to employment drawing millions in wages, transcends shortly after the end of the war. For many years of Republican administration the principal source of government revenue was customs taxes, but tobacco produced a surplus tariff schedules were revised to transfer to the free list every article of foreign production that did not compete with American products to the embarrassment of American labor; and in the Republican platform of 1888, it was declared that after such tariff revision "if there shall still remain a larger revenue than is requisite for the wants of the government, we favor the entire repeal of internal taxes rather than to surrender any part of our protective system, at the point beshest of the whisky trust and the agents of the foreign manufacturers." In 1900, after the war with Spain, the Republican platform declared that "The country is justified in expecting, and it will be the policy of the Republican party to bring about, a reduction of the war taxes." This policy of the Republican party to reduce taxes whenever through economic administration the Treasury has accumulated a surplus justifying such reduction has prevailed for more than 50 years, and the President is not only following Republican policy from the time of Lincoln down to the present, but through his Secretary of the Treasury he has presented a definite plan for tax reduction that will lift a definite amount of taxation from the people—325,000,000. The recommendation is in compliance with the Republican platform of 1920 which promised national economy through a national budget and the reduction and simplification of the income taxes. The Republican Sixty-seventh Congress reduced the income taxes by coupled with given placed in position in individual leadership.

The object has been used to be thrown Economically viewed, the United States leads the world. Its material power was demonstrated in the World War. Industrially speaking, America's prosperous institutions, millions of wage earners restored to employment drawing millions in wages, transcends the wildest dreams of the founders. Morally viewed, the United States is far ahead of all nations despite the enemies of the critics and the scorn of the pessimists. The year 1923 has witnessed a distinct recovery from what many called the decadent reaction of the war. Despite all appearances to the contrary, there has been an added devotion to religious thought and conviction, resulting in nobler and more self-sacrificing lives. Spiritually viewed, the United States has through the power of human intellect, reached out into a realm hitherto unseen or unheard, and come nearer the Infinite. Internationally, the United States has taken a lofty position among the nations of the world, holding itself politically independent, yet ready to help where help is needed. Looking forward, the year 1924 holds great possibilities and hopes for the United States. There is greater prosperity than ever ahead, provided the lessons of experience are heeded. This is no time for unwise experiments, either in legislation, finance or any other sphere of activity. The laws of economics are as inexorable as the physical laws of the universe, and no mere flat of man can divert them or overcome them. A nation that violates universal law suffers just as a man suffers. The result is ultimate weakness and disaster. Every act of Congress, every movement of a political "bloc" must harmonize with human experience and divine law, else there is national retrogression. It is a habit among some to divide public men into two classes—progressives and reactionaries. This is a false and misleading distinction. There is no such thing as reaction, which is going back. All nature either progresses in one form or another, or dies. All who are fit to be public servants are progressive—some rational, others irrational. The rational are called conservative because they believe in the virtuosity of their wealth and riches yet its greatest asset is the optimism and ever-present courage that fills the hearts and souls of all, in whatever walk of life.

AMERICAN LEGION NEWS Challanging the opponents of the adjusted compensation bill to show that the great mass of the ex-service men of the nation do not favor the measure and assorting that the tax reduction as favored by President Coolidge can be made without sacrificing the obligation owed to the veterans, State Commander James F. Collins of the California American Legion came out with a hot statement stating the position of his organization. "In the list of names of actual opponents of this adjusted compensation program, I have found but an occasional name of a man or woman whose activity since the War in behalf of the disabled, or in behalf of the best interests of his community welfare obligations, justifying a position as spokesman for ex-service men or women," Commander Collins declared. "Tax reduction can be had without sacrificing the obligation and the good name of this Nation to the great majority of its loyal citizens who served Legion head said: The first official statement of the inuniform," Collins insists. The Adjusted Compensation Bill It is a habit among some to divide public men into two classes—progressives and reactionaries. This is a false and misleading distinction. There is no such thing as reaction, which is going back. All nature either progresses in one form or another, or dies. All who are fit to be public servants are progressive—some rational, others irrational. The rational are called conservative because they believe in progressing on the safe foundation of human experience. The irrational are radicals of various degrees. The year 1924 will not yield the fullness of prosperity and universal, although relative, welfare it should yield if the irrational progressives or extreme radicals have their way. The year 1924 will be a banner year if the conservatives, the real Americans and protectionists, direct public affairs. Without doubt they will, since the great body of the American people are conservative. REPUBLICAN RECORD IN TAX REDUCTION The Republican party, when in control of the federal government, has reduced taxes whenever there appeared a surplus in the Treasury to justify such reduction. After the Civil war internal taxes were reduced or abolished to life the burden of taxes on the necessities of life. Only the internal tax on spirits and tobacco were retained and Presilent Garfield called these "voluntary taxes," because any one could escape paying them by refusing to drink or smoke or chew. During the war with Spain special internal taxes were authorized by the Republican Congress but repealed the best interests of his community welfare obligations, justifying a position as spokesman for ex-service men or women." Commander Collins declared. "Tax reduction can be had without sacrificing the obligation and the good name of this Nation to the great majority of its loyal citizens who served Legion head said: The first official statement of the inuniform," Collins insists. The Adjusted Compensation Bill now pending before Congress is a measure that has been consistently supported by the National organization of the American Legion since its presentation. The stand of the National organization has come from the expressions of opinion of the vast majority of membership within 48 states. The voice of the majority has always been recognized as the controlling factor in all our decisions. The primary obligation of the American Legion, and the only justification of its existence, is the continuation of service for the United States in the upholding and defending of our constitution in peace-time as we did its members of the military and naval establishment during war-time. With this obligation ever before us, it is our duty to view with careful consideration all circumstances we make to the standpoint of the basic needs of our country being served in the ultimate result. The Adjusted Compensation Bill is a measure sponsored by the American Legion of the United States because it is a fundamental factor in maintaining the good name of the United States, with not only the citizens who have been responsible for leadership, but as well with the citizens who have been making the Nation by their hard work under the leadership of those who by intelligent, energetic efforts Negotiations are location of a large concern the country, tract, accord Saturday by Smerger of the Fullmerce. While the plan out, the prospering this great prise look rosy nature of the ANAHEIM GAZETTE coupled with good fortune, have been placed in positions of authority both in individual leadership and in financial leadership. It is a known fact that between sixty and seventy percent of the manpower of America depend upon common labor and minor clericiaca work for a livelihood. This percentage was represented proportionately in our war-time establishments in uniform. These men and women are the ones who need and are justified in expecting some assistance from the Government in rehabilitating themselves, or in the extension of their prosperity in peace time. The American citizen who sets his personal gain before his obligation to care for the less fortunate is not justifying his right to the enjoyment of the privilege of the citizenship of America contemplated under the ideals embodied in the preamble of the constitution of the United States. The preamble of the constitution of the American Legion is a reiteration in more extended language of the principles and ideals enumerated in the preamble of the constitution of the United States, and as such places a second pledge of allegiance to a greater conscientiousness of citizenship upon the shoulders of the Legion members. The question of tax reduction should not be confused with the question if he Adjusted Compensation Bill, for the report as rendered by the Secretary of the Treasury in itself indicates that the Adjusted Compensation Bill can be passed, administered and paid, without the necessity of maintaining the taxes as they are. The objection to the cash feature has been used as the principal stone to be thrown at the program. An principal movers in the project were not revealed in the intimation given out. However, the negotiations have reached such a promising stage that Secretary Raymer has been spending the past two days in Los Angeles looking up freight rates and getting information on transportation matters in behalf of the concern. It is stated in this connection that the plant would require the shipment of 80 carloads of machinery from the East as equipment and that the supply of material needed for the factory would run to 2000 tons a month, while the outgoing shipments would aggregate 1000 tons a month. REGISTRATION Registration of voters for 1924 was unusually heavy for the first two weeks the books were open, figures announced at the office of County Clerk J. M. Backs, where approximately 2,500 registrations have already been reported. Republicans forged into an early lead with a total registration of 1,682, approximately two-thirds of the total registration of 2,496. The Democrats followed with 565. Next in line were the group of 125 voters who declined to state political affiliations, thereby relinquishing the privilege of casting their ballots at either the May preferential primary or the regular Presidential primary in August. Other affiliations were: Prohibitions 69, Independent 6, Socialist 8, Progressive 18, Nonpartisan 20, Progressive Republican 3. County Clerk Backs reiterated his previous admonition to voters con- The question of tax reduction should not be confused with the question if he Adjusted Compensation Bill, for the report as rendered by the Secretary of the Treasury in itself indicates that the Adjusted Compensation Bill can be passed, administered and paid, without the necessity of maintaining the taxes as they are. The objection to the cash feature has been used as the principal stone to be thrown at the program. An honest interpretation of the bill will indicate that the actual demand for cash would be a very small percentage of that set forth as anticipated by the Secretary of the Treasury in his reports. With but an occasional exception, the great mass of active, loyal citizens who served honestly and faithfully in uniform, and who have served honestly and faithfully as citizens in peace-time in service to our country, wholeheartedly indorse the program principally because of a desire to see justice done to those men and women of this Nation who are the great mass of the citizens for a duty performed without request for compensation, but for which an adjustment is due and should have long ago been paid. The man or woman who would reduce by a few dollars income tax, at the expense of this obligation, should take a grip on himself, or herself, look into his or her consciousness of citizenship and thank God and the prosperity of this country for the privilege of paying large income taxes. OUGHT TO BE SPANKED Della and Raymond Morris of Brea, must wait until they "grow up" and "know their own mind" before they think of getting a divorce. Della and Raymond, who are not yet 18, were married when they were 15. Della's suit for divorce was denied by Judge Drumm with the comment that both the husband and wife should "be given a spanking and sent home." The court hinted that he might ask for perjury warrants against the youthful husband and the girl-wife's mother. It was shown at the divorce hearing that Raymond had made affidavit that he was 21 years of age in order to obtain a license. Della's mother, it was shown, had in an affidavit of "consent" sworn that her daughter was 16, the minimum age for securing a license in this state. The court was not satisfied with Next in line were the group of 125 voters who declined to state political affiliations, thereby relinquishing the privilege of casting their ballots at either the May preferential primary or the regular Presidential primary in August. Other affiliations were: Prohibitions 69, Independent 6, Socialist 8, Progressive 18, Nonpartisan 20, Progressive Republican 3. County Clerk Backs reiterated his previous admonition to voters concerning the loss of voting privileges at primary elections by those decline to state party affiliation. "That law," he said, "has been extended this year to include the May preferential primary as well as the August primary which it previously applied to. Four years ago voters could vote any party ballot, regardless of how they registered. For instance a voter registered as a Republican migh, if he desired, cast a Democratic ballot at the preferential primary. Since then, the law has been changed so that a voter must vote the ballot of the party under which he is registered, and if he delines to state, any party he can vote only at the general election."
