WASHINGTON LETTER (From our regular correspondent) Opinion here is sharply dividend regarding the wisdom of Congress in adopting a Japanese exclusion law which is highly offensive to the Japanese people. That exclusion of the Japanese must be accomplished all are agreed; but that that was accomplished as efficiently by the so-called "Gentlemen's agreement," whereby Japan refused passports to her citizens to the United States, as by an exclusion law offensive to Japanese sensibilities is the contention of those opposed to such a law, including President Coolidge and Secretary Hughes. In fact, they believe that with the cooperation of the Japanese Government the exclusion was more effective than it will be when undertaken without that cooperation. Now, they urge Japan, a badly overcrowded country, will merely wink at the efforts of her people to get into the United States in defiance of the law and the Canadian, and especially the sparsely settled Mexican, mboundaries afford ample opportunities for such smuggling. Moreover, the interests of the United States in the far East are bound to be more or less prejudiced by the constant hostility of Japan. While there is no doubt, little likelihood of war at this time, there is much satisfaction in military circles over the progress that has been made in establishing an efficient naval base at Pearl Harbor (Hawaii) and accumulating there extensive stores of navy fuel oil. The vote for exclusion was so overwhelming that it would be obviously useless for the President to veto the bill, but it's regarded as highly likely he will let it become law without his signature. the Government. "Let the people not be alarmed," says Judge Winter. "There has been no breaking down of government. The guilt of one man, (Fall) if proven, cannot affect the stability of this great country." SUPERVISOR'S PROCEEDINGS A resolution was adopted closing roads running through the Irvine Ranch.

THE A telegram from Riverside, who to the effect NOTICE ANAHEE pal place of b is hereby given of the corpora- 1924, the seven holders, as fo- Wm. Kla- Holmes E Glenn S Glenn St President Coolidge's rebuke of the Senate—not for conducting investigations but—for the unfair, biased and partisan manner in which it has been conducting those investigations, has met with merited commendation on all sides. Only bitterly partisan Democrats and a few partisan Democratic newspapers condemn it, and even those are compelled to distort Mr. Coolidge's rebuke before attacking it. In partisan quarters an attempt has been made to make it appear that Mr. Coolidge objected to all investigations, which is not the case. But generally, the press and the public heartily agree with the President that the manner in which some of the investigations have been conducted, notably the oil investigation and that of the Attorney General, is a disgrace to the Senate. Regarding Gaston B. Means, Senator Wheeler's chief reliance in his attack on Mr. Daugherty, A. Mitchell Palmer, Democrat, and Attorney General under President Wilson, says that Means' testimony is "a lie out of whole cloth." One of Means' stories Mr. Palmer characterizes as "a tissue of falsehoods" and criticising the Senate committee, Mr. Palmer says, "In the face of these findings, which must be within the knowledge of the Senate committee, for that committee to allow a witness like Means to repeat his unfounded charge long since disproved, is well calculated to discount the sincerity of the present investigation and to justify the widespread criticism of the Senate for becoming a mere distributor of slander and slinger of mud." The employment of Francis J. Heney as attorney for the Senate committee investigating the Bureau of Internal Revenue and his being paid out of the private pocket of Senator Conzens—who, by the way, enlisted according to his own admission. The Southern California Edison Co. was instructed to install 38 lights as per recommendation of the Yorba Linda Chamber of Commerce. The County Auditor was authorized to draw warrants for Southern Pacific Railway, for Fairview Avenue Crossing. Hearing of the petition of F. O. Smith, et al., was set for May 13th, 1924, at 11:00 A.M. Notice to be given in the Orange Daily News. The Chairman was authorized to approve Bond on Map Tract No. 632 and same was accepted as the official plotting of said tract. A check for $750. was deposited for street work. Pool room licenses were ordered issued to J. L. Hayes and Cris Sorensen. The applications of Felix Ybarra, J. Crus and S. Ybarra for pool room licenses were ordered denied. The Chairman was authorized to approve the bond on Map Tract No. 658, and same was accepted as the official plotting of said Tract. The Chairman was authorized to approve bond on Map of Central Memorial Park Block 14, and same was accepted as the official plotting of said block. The Chairman was authorized to approve bond on Map of Central Memorial Park Block 17, 18 and 29, and same were accepted as the official plotting of said blocks. The Chairman was authorized to approve bond on Map of Central Memorial Park Block 2, and same was accepted as the official plotting of said block. Deed for right of way from Ora H. Warling, was accepted. It was ordered that the Orange-Olive Road be accepted as completed by Basich Bros. Contractors. It was ordered that Niatt Street, La Habra, from Ocean Avenue to the Pacific Electric tracks, be accepted as completed by Griffith Co., contractors. The application of the Associated Oil Co. for temporary permit, was granted. The employment of Francis J. Heney as attorney for the Senate committee investigating the Bureau of Internal Revenue and his being paid out of the private pocket of Senator Couzens—who, by the way, enjoys according to his own admission an income of $1,000,000 a year—is interesting. It develops that the man back of Heney's employment is Governor of Pennsylvania, whose bitterness toward the Secretary of the Treasury knows no bounds. Pinchot wants to be President. A man of unlimited wealth, he has been able to procure everything else he wanted and he sought a Pennsylvania delegation instructed for himself. Mr. Mellon along with Senators Pepper and Reed defeated Pinchot's wish and, being a vindictive individual, Pinchot determined to get even with Mr. Mellon. He could conceive of no better way than to take advantage of the hostility of Senator Couzens and induce him to employ that "Prince of Muckrakers," Heney, to harass Mr. Mellon and fill the press with sensational reports about the Secretary of the Treasury, reports bound to be disproved but the disproof of which would never overtake the falsehood. It may sometimes be necessary to incur the anger of a multimillionaire but it always means trouble for him who does it. Representative Winter of Wyoming, one of the best informed men on oil in Congress, has delivered an exhaustive speech on the Doheny and Sinclair leases in which he shows that they are of the utmost advantage to It was ordered that the Orange-Olive Road be accepted as completed by Basich Bros., Contractors. It was ordered that Niatt Street, La Habra, from Ocean Avenue to the Pacific Electric tracks, be accepted as completed by Griffith Co., contractors. The application of the Associated Oil Co. for temporary permit, was granted. It was ordered that the franchise applied for by the Associated Oil Co. be advertised for sale and that notice of sale be submitted to the Board June 3rd, 1924. Notice of said sale to be advertised in the Fullerton News. AMERICANS AGAINST COMMUNISM Americans are primarily against communism because they are Americans. That is a sentence that will stand analysis. Americans have developed under democracy as embodied in the best form of representative government that man has devised. They have learned the beneficence of their governmental system from the benefits that have accrued to them from it. They hold it desirable and to be maintained, because it has proved itself worthy of their favor and their support. Therefore, they are against theories that can not be accepted without rejecting democracy as it is here practiced, against communism as a menacing destroyer of all its cherished political heritage. Americans are also against communism because, under their representative government, they enjoy privileges, hold property, live in prosperity with equality of opportunity, are ANAHEIM GAZETTE protected against unfair competition and invasion from abroad, and they realize that under communistic regime they would lose all this. Americans are against communism because they live in prosperity, because their nation is wealthy, because many of them are landowners, many of them possess property of other kind and many more of them hope to possess property, and being such and holding to such expectations they are opposed to a theory that would strike down their property rights, rob them of title to their possessions, and would shatter their economic structure. Americans are against communism because, safe in their home, they go to sleep at night confident in the security that is theirs, because they have faith in the supremacy of government, because they know themselves to a large extent immune to illis of the outside world, because they feel sure of themselves, their property and their order, and know that the "red" would be black for hope of continuance.

Those who are merely existing, putting off enjoying life for a golden tomorrow, usually find that the "tomorrow" never comes. Don't drudge like your mother or grandmother, in the kitchen. They had to, because modern cooking appliances were not invented. But you haven't that excuse. A Roper Gas Range with Complete Oven Control will do the cooking while you are out enjoying yourself.

GENUINE "BULL" DURHAM GENUINE "BULL" DURHAM 2 bags for 15¢ 8¢ A BAG You can roll 100 Cigarettes for 15 Cents Is Five Cents on the Dollar of Valuation too Much to Earn? If a business worth $10,000 earned $500 net income in a year (or $41 a month), would it be considered an unreasonable profit and proof that its prices were too high? The railroads are in that situation today. The 1923 net return for the whole country was less than 5 per cent. As of December 31, 1919, the Interstate Commerce Commission gave to the railroads a tentative valuation of $18,900,000,000. With actual figures for 1920, 1921, 1922, and with 1923 conservatively estimated as $1,100,000,000, there has been invested in the railways since this tentative valuation a net amount of $2,371,583,000, making the value as of December 31, 1923, $21,271,583,000. On this amount the Railways in 1923 earned an aggregate net operating income of approximately $997,610,000, or 4.69 per cent. The Government guarantee of earnings expired August 31, 1920. If this guarantee had been continued—as repeatedly but erroneously claimed—the Government would owe the railroads more than a billion dollars.

If this guarantee had been continued—as repeatedly but erroneously claimed—the Government would owe the railroads more than a billion dollars. Last year the roads handled a record volume of business but could not earn the fair return of 5% per cent to which the Interstate Commerce Commission, under the Transportation Act, has found they are entitled. If the roads cannot earn 5% per cent in a big year, what will they do in a small year? The Transportation Act provides that if a road in any year earns more than 6 per cent it shall pay one-half of the excess to the Government. The Act is therefore, a limitation rather than a guarantee. GIVE TRANSPORTATION ACT FAIR TRIAL The Transportation Act should be given a fair test and its merits judged by the results of a normal period of reasonable length. The year 1923 was the first since the war under conditions approaching stabilization. What the railroad situation demands just now is not more law but more confidence. The railroads have emerged from the welter of the war, restored their morale, made enormous investments of new money, and in 1923 handled a peak business with universal satisfaction. The Transportation Act is the only really constructive railroad legislation of a generation. Previous acts were almost solely repressive. In framing the Act the public interest was paramount. The Act directs the Interstate Commerce Commission to "give due consideration to the transportation needs of the country and the necessity of enlarging railway facilities in order to provide the people of the United States with adequate transportation." Give the Act a chance. Don't amend it. If the roads are let alone they should make as good a record for efficiency this year as last. Constructive suggestions are always welcome. C. R.
