Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuechel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entred at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter DRIVING CAPITAL TO GO ON A STRIKE President Coolidge in his Lincoln day speech in New York City said: "If we had a tax whereby on the first working day the government took five per cent of your wages, on the second day ten per cent, on the third day 20 per cent, on the fourth day 30 per cent, on the fifth day 50 per cent, and on the sixth day 60 per cent, how many of you would continue to work on the last two days of the week? It is the same with capital. Surplus income will go into tax-exempt securities. It will refuse to take the risk incidental to embarking in business." The right of labor to quit work, it regards as unfair and unjust is conceded in this free country. There is no law or executive or judicial authority in America which can compel labor to reman at work if it chooses to strike. Capital is as independent in this respect as labor. It cannot be compelled to work under conditions it regards as unjust. Whenever by legislation or judicial decision or executive order conditions are imposed upon capital in any country which are regarded as unfair capital goes on a strike. WHERE OUR MONEY GOES!

Life is true to Capital is as independent in this respect as labor. It cannot be compelled to work under conditions it regards as unjust. Whenever by legislation or judicial decision or executive order conditions are imposed upon capital in any country which are regarded as unfair, capital goes on a strike. History is replete with illustrations proving this fact. It will not only go on a strike but it will, if necessary, for its own protection, leave the country. During the French Revolution capital left France rather than remain subject to conditions imposed upon it large per cent of it never returned, remaining abroad to enrich other countries and develop their industry and commerce. Some of it came to America and assisted materially in developing this country. Two striking illustrations may be found today in the sight of capital from Russia and from Germany. The soviet government imposed conditions upon Russian capital which it regarded as unjust, with the result that it fled the country. One of the underlying causes of the financial breakdown of Germany is the flight of capital to other countries, which is now being investigated by international experts to see by what means it can be persuaded to return. The bolshevik enlisted the support of the Russian masses in their campaign against capital. They promised to promote the welfare and prosperity of the people by compelling capital to work under conditions which offered no profit. When capital rebellled against these conditions the bolshevik then took more radical steps in the form of confiscation of the property of the rich. Confiscation of wealth is a vice which feeds upon itself. Once the machinery of confiscation of property is set in motion, it does not stop with the rich. Those who have nothing soon eize control of it, and proceed to confiscate the property of all those who have anything. The attempted punishment of wealth in Russia has hurt the peasant more than the wealthy. The latter fled the country, taking with them whatever they could. The peasant was compelled to remain and seek his cattle, his few implements and his grain seized by the soviet authorities. BURIED TREASURE It is regarded in fiction as the normal thing for discoverers to quarrel over buried treasure. Life is true to fiction in regard to the greatest buried treasure ever unearthed—that of King Tutankhamen, among which the mummied king himself is the chief jewel. Archeology and government have fallen to fighting over the remains. Howard Carter, the American excavator and discoverer of the tomb, believes he has a right to half the treasure, and to a reasonable liberty of action in his operations. The Egyptian government, official custodian of the tomb, believes it has a right to boss the job and take everything in sight. Technically the quarrel is based on a legal interpretation. If the tomb is regarded as a "violated tomb," that is, a tomb broken into before its discovery by Carter, there is nothing legally sacred about it, and Carter may share his find with Egypt. If the tomb was discovered "intact," it is all Egypt's. Carter bases his claim on the circumstantial evidence that thieves had broken into the tomb many centuries ago. The government bases its claim on the fact that in spite of that evidence, the outer door was sealed when discovered, the seal having been replaced apparently by ancient government authorities who drove away the thieves before the latter had accomplished their purpose. It is a pretty case for a lawsuit. It might be supposed that the Egyptian government, as a matter of decency, would share up with Carter, because if it had not been for him, the treasure might never have been found. On the other hand, Carter is an alien, and the tomb and its treasure are Egyptian, and the mummy itself may well be regarded with patriotic reverence as that of a celebrated Egyptian sovereign. Would any other country like to have foreigners digging up its historic personages, with all their funeral wealth, and carting them away? Suppose Egyptians started digging in Westminster Abbey? the rich. Those who have nothing soon eize control of it, and proceed to confiscate the property of all those who have anything. The attempted punishment of wealth in Russia has hurt the peasant more than the wealthy. The latter fled the country, taking with them whatever they could. The peasant was compelled to remain and seek his cattle, his few implements and his grain seized by the soviet authorities. Attempts to "soak" the rich always result in this manner. In this country some states have attempted to "soak" insurance companies doing business within their borders, with the result that those companies have refused to do business at all within those states and left the people without means of insurance. There is nothing more susceptible of proof than the fact that when government attempts to shoulder unfair burdens on capital it goes on a strike and automatically shifts those burdens to the shoulders of the less wealthy. There is nothing more susceptible of proof than the fact that whenever a tax is laid on capital which it regards as unjust, it immediately passes that tax on to the mass of people in the form of higher interest, higher rents, higher freight rates and higher living costs in every particular. It is a process which economists for generations have attempted to prevent but without success, because the process is a natural one that cannot be suspended or topped by any human law or authority. Courage is a fine quality if it is not the kind that makes a man think he can play the other man's game and beat it. FREE DISTRIBUTION OF NEW AND RARE SEEDS Secretary of Agriculture Wallace has appealed to Senator Shortridge to cooperate with him in the distribution of new and rare field seeds in California. In a letter to the California Senator the Agriculture Department says: The Department respectfully solicits your cooperation in its efforts to place the seed included in this distribution in the hands of farmers who will be sufficiently interested to give it careful attention and who will report to the Department the results obtained from their tests. In arranging for this distribution the most promising new and rare forage crops have been given first consideration. Since these newer crops are not equally well adapted to all sections of the country, there is necessarily some difference in the number of packages of seed available for the various districts. We expect to have available for testing by your farmer constituents the following: 50 4-lb. packages of Kansas alfalfa ANAHEIM GAZETTE Y GOES! this country for pleasure $ 350,000,000 150,000,000 600,000,000 1,800,000,000 800,000,000 2,655,000,000 250,000,000 25,000,000 50,000,000 1,000,000,000 50,000,000 8,000,000 3,000,000 3,000,000 5,000,000 300,000,000 3,000,000 400,000,000 17,000,000 1,500,000,000 450,000,000 seed. 100 4-lb. packages of Dwarf Feterita seed. 25 2-lb. packages of seed of a new variety of Soybeans. 175 1-lb. packages of Sudan grass seed. We will be pleased, therefore, to receive from you at your earliest convenience a list of names of farmers who in your judgment would be interested in testing one or more of these crops. The seed will be mailed from the Department's warehouse directly to the farmer, and will be accompanied by a circular giving full instructions regarding the culture of the crop furnished. Senator Shortridge will be pleased to receive the names of farmers who will be willing to cooperate with the Department of Agriculture as indicated in the foregoing and he will see that they are supplied with the types of seed desired. Not more than one package of any one kind of seed can be sent to one person but there is no limit on the varieties one person can order. Names should be sent to Samuel Shortridge, Room 428, Senate Office Building, Washington. D. C.
