Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kushel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter AN ECONOMY PROGRAM "I am for economy. After that I am for more economy. We must give the people relief from the excessive burden of taxation." How resolutely President Coolidge meant every word of that statement has been demonstrated by the vigor with which he already has swung the axe. When public officials recognize that taxes are excessive the taxpayer can begin to have real hope. When he sees the national debt reduced by approximately a billion dollars a year, as has been done in the last three years, bringing interest payments down one hundred and twenty million dollars annually, he may begin to feel assurance that governmental financing can be handled successfully when public officials are determined so to handle them. The reduction in the income tax effected at the last session of Congress is the beginning of the downward movement. If President Coolidge has his way about it. He has given notice that the national payroll must be cut. Those who realize most clearly that he means what he says are the departments at Washington. They were given direct, unmistakable warning and exports have nearly doubled, while the population of the country has increased not more than 15 per cent. Nor is this increase one of dollars and cents only. Volume increases are much more evident. To the uninitiated it is almost a paradox to find trade increasing to such a degree under a Republican tariff law, compared with its Democratic predecessor, until they look a little more closely and discover that much of the increase is due to the fact that wages are double what they were ten years ago, and the purchasing power of the country is consequently enhanced. So the Journal has given up the use of figures in its attacks on the Republican tariff policy because those figures completely refute the ideas which the Journal would inculcate. It contents itself now with dubious shaking of the head and an attitude toward the tariff much like that of old Sammy Weller toward the species indicated by his oft-repeated admonition: "Beware of viders" In a recent editorial the Journal said: "There are two problems that face us with regard to our export trade, or at all events, two of such outstanding importance as to overshadow all others. One of them is how are we to continue to be paid for even the volume of exports that we have been sending abroad, and the other is how we expand foreign markets sufficiently to keep our mills in operation at reasonable rates of activity." We will leave that for the Journal to worry over, since it appears to enjoy poor health. But we shall not leave it to the Journal to adjust because the Journal would undoubtedly proceed about it in this way, judging from its past attitude on public questions: It would cancel Europe's debt to us. It would turn our ocean carrying trade over to Great Britain. It would put out into the Loom of No. per cent of the present. Concern on election does not be elected but they are against radios.

If President Coolidge has his way about it. He has given notice that the national payroll must be cut. Those who realize most clearly that he means what he says are the departments at Washington. They were given direct, unmistakable warning that the President's vigorous retrenchment policy must be carried out whole heartedly and those not sympathetically inclined toward his effort have been advised that they are not desired in the Coolidge administration. The president has a definite plan mapped out for the next Congress. He has informed his departmental chiefs that income and outgo are such that their appropriation budgets must not total more than a certain sum. His veto power will be exercised to compel Congress to co-operate in the economy program. The customary method of Congress has been to make appropriations first and provide the revenue afterward. President Coolidge has definitely established a budget system in which is measured income at the same time that outlay is considered. Steadiness in governmental financing has encouraged the surge upward of liberty bond prices. The recent buying of these securities has been largely by banks in the agricultural districts through their New York correspondents. The upturn in farm prices that aided greatly in this development added more than one billion dollars to the value of the nation's crops in two months. It would appear that Uncle Sam has his affairs in stabilized and satisfactory shape and that it is imperative that they be kept so. To make a change in the national administration at this time, to launch the country on an adventure such as the LaFollette candidacy signifies, can be neither sound nor safe. It is the stability that Coolidge has helped to give the national government on which genuine progress can be founded. Uncertain government, adventurous government, in the end serve the cause of reaction. Reduction of taxes, restoration of healthy financial conditions, and establishment of confidence in the government and in those who conduct it are of utmost importance for the nation can we expand foreign markets sufficiently to keep our mills in operation at reasonable rates of activity." We will leave that for the Journal to worry over, since it appears to enjoy poor health. But we shall not leave it to the Journal to adjust because the Journal would undoubtedly proceed about it in this way, judging from its past attitude on public questions: It would cancel Europe's debt to us. It would turn our ocean carrying trade over to Great Britain. It would put us into the League of Nations. It would return to unrestricted immigration. It would have absolute free trade. By such a program Europe might speedily pay for our exports, and Gosh knows we would need it! But payment would not largely benefit the industrially defunct. REHEARING GRANTED ON EDISON CASE The Railroad Commission has issued an order re-opening the case of the Southern California Edison Company in which an order had been issued by the Commission increasing rates. A dissenting opinion was issued in the original case by Commissioners Seavey and Shore. Re-opening the case, the Commission extended to August 31, the effective date of the order made on August 1, allowing the company an increase of 10 per cent on all its rate schedules, except agricultural rates. The extension of the effective date has the effect of delaying for 30 days the putting into effect the increased rates. The re-opening calls for a hearing at Los Angeles at 10 a.m., Wednesday August 13, before Commissioners Seavey and Whittlesey, at which further evidence will be heard as to the necessity of increasing rates to reimburse the company for added expense resulting from the water shortage and the consequent need for manufactured and purchased power. YOUR DUTY TO VOTE A comparison of the number of actual voters with our voting population reveals some astonishing facts. In the 1920 elections only 8.5 per cent of those entitled to vote in South Carolina actually cast their ballots. Delaware stood at the top of the list, but there the proportion was only 75 per cent. This compares with about 80 per cent in England and 90 per cent in Germany. It is a fact that some of the radicals who infest Congress have It is the stability that Coolidge has helped to give the national government on which genuine progress can be founded. Uncertain government, adventurous government, in the end serve the cause of reaction. Reduction of taxes, restoration of healthy financial conditions, and establishment of confidence in the government and in those who conduct it are of utmost importance for the nation's welfare. Capital that employs labor and labor that employs capital alike are interested in settled, sound conditions at Washington. The disruption that an indeependent candidacy, fostered and promoted largely by socialist, non-partisan, farm-labor and I. W. W. elements and their sympathizers, would be sure to bring in the nation's affairs is not what the great American body politic desires at this juncture. WHY WORRY? The New York Journal of Commerce an out and out free trade paper, has been in a very unenviable predication since the passage of the Republican tariff law in September, 1922. The Journal has made all sorts of dire forebodings prior to the enactment of that law, the burden of its plaintiff being that it would prohibit imports and as a result of such prohibition our exports would painfully decline. Month after month has gone by and just the reverse of the Journal's predictions has taken place. The record for the fiscal year ended June 30, last shows that, compared with the fiscal year 1914, with the Democratic tariff law in force and just before the European war broke out, both imports A comparison of the number of actual voters with our voting population reveals some astonishing facts. In the 1920 elections only 8.5 per cent of those entitled to vote in South Carolina actually cast their ballots. Deleware stood at the top of the list, but there the proportion was only 75 per cent. This compares with about 80 per cent in England and 90 per cent in Germany. It is a fact that some of the radicals who infest Congress have been sent there by as low as 17 to 35 NOTICE OF SALE OF STOCK FOR DELINQUENT ASSESSMENT Bae Mar Land Company Location of principal place of business, 130 West Center street, Anaheim, Orange County, State of California.
