Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuahel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .60 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter THE OIL LEASE CASE Producing figures to show that the government has received oil royalties averaging 6 per cent higher than the regulation royalty of 19.3 per cent, in its oil reserve lease contracts with the Pan-American Petroleum Co., Frederic R. Kellogg, counsel for the company, in his argument before Federal Judge McCormick in the Doheny lease cancellation suit declared that the government has failed utterly to show that the contracts resulted in losses to the government. This failure to show losses, he maintained, completely upset one of the pillars of the government case, for if there had been a conspiracy, such as had been denied by the Doheny company, no judgment would be forthcoming to the government unless the latter could produce evidence that it had suffered loss or actual damage from such a conspiracy. He further pointed out that there is a material distinction between a criminal indictment charging conspiracy, and a case in equity in which such a charge is made. In a criminal case of conspiracy, proof of existence of a fraudulent agreement is sufficient, but an equity been working under Mulholland for several months collecting topographical data in the territory between the San Gabriel Valley and the San Jacinto mountains. Surveyors will continue on this task for several weeks, it was announced. The two surveying parties being sent to Yuma will complete reconnoitering work set under way by Mulholland last winter in the Coachella and Chuckwalla Valleys. Because of high summer temperatures this work had to be temporarily abandoned during the past season. Pointing out that Los Angeles and neighboring cities and towns have no time to waste in pushing forward the gigantic task of constructing the Colorado river aqueduct, Mulholland indicated yesterday that every effort is being made by his staff of engineers to complete on the earliest possible late the topographical survey of territory over which the giant water line must pass. In this connection, however, it was emphasized by Mulholland that he will not be ready to make his final recommendations on a route for the aqueduct until every possible phase of the problem has been studied thoroughly. In his study of the Lower Colorado River, Mulholland will direct his attention to the selection of the most feasible site for the establishment of an intake for the aqueduct, it was stated. Several points along the river have been selected by his surveying parties as possible intakes. Whether one of these will be favored by Mulholland or an entirely new point for the diversion of water into the aqueduct will be selected by the chief engineer, it was not known. In that section of the San Jacinto mountains where the territory separating Los Angeles from the Colorado timistic and confined thoughless, pursued a necessity in their business. Retail merchants have with goods far beyond needs. As a result, buying policy, retail compelled to buy and month to month agencies are there continuance of order demand. This spirit of care served in the matter have avoided except for actual perfectly sound under sequestration, bank value funds which touss to loan at reliant interest wherever it can be had. But themselves have being loans, they are situation than they were years ago. Reports from the farmers have soldable prices they have to the liquidationthe lifting of mortgages investments in more. Probably never bred States been in or enjoyed better distractive business situation is due to a policy that mainples and the elective officers who attitus and level head they adopt and thus true. There is no can business or ment. He further pointed out that there is a material distinction between a criminal indictment charging conspiracy, and a case in equity in which such a charge is made. In a criminal case of conspiracy, proof of existence of a fraudulent agreement is sufficient, but an equity case, such as the one in which the Doheny company is involved, requires proof of loss to the plaintiff before the latter is entitled to a judgment, he declared. Referring to the claim by the Doheny Company that the reserve lands were being drained before the contracts were made, Kellogg stated that the claim was more important than was conceded by the government. "No man can state the importance of getting one's well down first," said Kellogg. Producing statistics relating to the flow of wells brought in by the Standard Oil Company outside the boundaries of the naval reserve No. 1 and corresponding figures showing the flow of offset wells drilled by the Doheny company inside the reserves and across the line from those of the other company, Kellogg pointed out that the Standard wells which were sunk first were greatly larger in flow than the Doheny offset wells. In discussing the act of Congress of June 4, 1920, giving the secretary of the navy power to lease naval reserves and to provide for storage of fuel oil and exchange of crude oil for royalty oil, Kellogg stated that the statute was "in the highest sense of the term remedial in effect." Kellogg stated that the government had admitted the powers of the secretary of the navy to exchange crude for fuel oil, but had attacked the trading of crude oil for construction of storage facilities. "That is merely a metaphysical distinction between the incidental powers vested by congress in a trusted government official," he declared. FURTHER PROGRESS OF THE RIVER PROJECT Many Engineers Working on the Colorado Problem. With preliminary surveys for the proposed Colorado river acqueduct rapidly progressing, Chief Engineer A remarkable fact in connection with business events following the election is that, although there was a sensational rise in prices of stocks on the New York Stock Exchange, there was an even greater relative rise in the price of wheat. In the week of the election the average price of stocks rose from 94.76 to 97.70 a rise of 2.94 or 3.1 per cent. In the same week the cash price of wheat at New York rose from $1.63½ to $1.75 7-8, or an advance of 12 1/8 cents or 7.6 per cent. Stated percentages, the advance in the price of wheat was more than double that of stock prices on the New York stock exchange. When the stock exchange was manifesting its bullish tendency, some Democratic and radical political leaders remarked sarcastically that Wall Street was reaping the profits from its support of Republican candidates. They overlooked the fact that the FURTHER PROGRESS OF THE RIVER PROJECT Many Engineers Working on the Colorado Problem. With preliminary surveys for the proposed Colorado river acqueduct rapidly progressing, Chief Engineer William Mulholland of the municipal bureau has again left Los Angeles for a two weeks' first hand investigation of the major problems confronting his assistants in settling upon the most practical course for the huge water line. Coincident with Mulholland's preparations, the executive committee of the Colorado River Aqueduct Association was meeting in Los Angeles to formulate plans for the establishment of a huge water district embracing some 38 cities and towns desiring to secure water from the Colorado river aqueduct. Leaving the city Saturday and accompanied by his reconnaissance engineer, E. A. Bayley, Chief Engineer Mulholland will make a close study of the wide stretch of mountainous desert country between Beaumont and the Colorado. He will also devote considerable time investigating conditions along the entire length of the Lower Colorado river. At the same time preparations were being made to dispatch two surveying parties to the vicinity of Yuma to collect topographical data that will indicate whether or not a feasible aqueduct intake site could be established along that section of the Colorado river between Yuma and Needles. Four parties of engineers that have York rose from $1.63½ to $1.75 7-8, or an advance of 12 1-8 cents or 7.6 per cent. Stated percentages, the advance in the price of wheat was more than double that of stock prices on the New York stock exchange. When the stock exchange was manifesting its bullish tendency, some Democratic and radical political leaders remarked sarcastically that Wall Street was reaping the profits from its support of Republican candidates. They overlooked the fact that the price of wheat had gone up faster than the price of stocks. Commercial writers, regardless of political affiliations are unanimous in agreeing that the advance in the market value of stocks and in the market value of commodities was due to increased confidence after election. As one commercial writer for the New York Times said in a dispatch from Chicago, "a decided increase in confidence as to the present and future of trade, finance and manufacturing has been created by the Presidential election. The disposition is to look ahead with better prospects for increasing activity among manufacturers and a larger consumption and distribution of merchandise, steel, coal, lumber and building materials. Orders placed contingent upon the outcome of the election are being released in good volume and a fair run of new buying is apparent, both in brand and in prospects." It is common knowledge that the public has been proceeding on a policy of extreme caution for many months. The political expression "Cautious Cal" has not been without its effect on the American people. Consciously or unconsciously people have absorbed the characteristic generally attributed to the incumbent of the White House. People who have been op- timistic and confident have nevertheless, pursued a policy of cautiousness in their business undertakings. Retail merchants have not stocked up with goods far beyond their immediate needs. As a result of that caution in buying policy, retail dealers are now compelled to buy from week to week and month to month, and producing agencies are therefore assured of a continuance of orders to supply the demand. This spirit of caution has been observed in the matter of credit. People have avoided borrowing money except for actual needs and for perfectly sound undertakings. As a consequence, bank vaults are filled with idle funds which the banks are anxious to loan at relatively low rate of interest wherever satisfactory security can be had. Because the banks themselves have been cautious in making loans, they are in much better position than they were two or three years ago. Reports from the west are that as farmers have sold their crops at profitable prices they have applied the money to the liquidation of their debts and the lifting of mortgages rather than to investments in more land. Probably never before has the United States been in a sounder position or enjoyed better prospects for satisfactory business conditions. This situation is due to public support of a policy that maintains sound principles and the election of administrative officers who are born to be cautious and level headed in the policies they adopt and the methods they pursue. There is no hysteria in American business or American government. MARTIAL TROUBLES FURNISH HUMOR IN CHRISTIE PICTURE the 17. National Forests-of the State. The expenditures for the administration and protection of the forests, for the same period, amounted to approximately $985,000, leaving a credit of over one-quarter million dollars. The amount received from the sale of mature timber in the National Forests was $910,970, and from fees for grazing of cattle and sheep, $250,000. Water power brought in $34,000, and special uses $91,000, of which latter amount nearly $60,000 was received from the renting of summer-home sites in the forests. Compared with the returns for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1923, National Forest receipts for the past year were $32,890 less; the decrease being caused by the number of applications for permits to graze livestock on the forest ranges. Twenty-five percent of the National Forest receipts, or $310,400, will be returned to the State to be distributed to counties in which the National Forests are located, for school and road development an additional 10 per cent, or $124,000, will also be expended locally by the Forest Service for the construction of roads and trails. California will thus benefit to the extent of nearly $435,000 from the business receipts of the National Forests, without taking into consideration the intangible asset of sport and recreation that the Federal forests afford, and which are yearly enjoyed by millions of citizens. LEGION POLICIES TOLD COOLIDGE President Coolidge has had before him today for consideration the legislative program favored by the American Legion. The recommendations urged by the Legion, which were submitted to the President by James L. DUE AT CALIFORNIA THEATRE DUE AT CLIFORNIA THEATRE James Cruze, noted Paramount producer, who jumped into the directorial limelight with "The Covered Wagon," "Morton" and other screen successes, recently finished a new Paramount picture which is being hailed as another screen masterpiece. "The City That Never Sleeps" is his latest cinema thriller, and local fans will soon have the opportunity of judging its worth because it is due next Tuesday at the California. The story is an adaptation of "Mother O'Day", by Leroy Scott, which ran serially in McCall's magazine. It has New York for its background—that portion of New York which has made the city so famous. The night life of New York of today is contrasted with that of a decade ago when the Bowery was in thheyday of its glory. Briefly the story deals with a mother's sacrifice for her only daughter—her efforts to protect the child from the Tenderloin environment in which she herself was brought up. Later she comes face to face with the bitter realization that despite all she has done to prevent it her daughter is traveling too fast a pace. The manner in which she saves her daughter by making the supreme sacrifice provides a real thrill and leads to a mighty climax. With a cast that includes such likeable players as Louise Dresser, Virginia Lee Corbin, Kathlyn Williams, Ricardo Cortez and Pierre Gendron there is no lack of acting talent. The entire production was done in typical Cruze fashion and you know what that means! By all means see this picture! MARTIAL TROUBLES FURNISH HUMOR IN CHRISTIE PICTURE Martial troubles are a source of a great deal of worry. They are also the source of a great deal of humor—to everyone excepting the "contestants." When a man falls in love his worries begin. He gets married his troubles increase. When he tries to fall out—or gets pushed out—of love, his worries become tumultuous. The more turbulent his worries become the more amusing they seem to onlookers. If you don't believe it, just observe the pearl actions of anyone of your friends who is trying to weather a marital storm. This theme is admirably embraced in "Reckless Romance," Al Christie's latest feature-length comedy which comes to the California Theatre for Tuesday only. This hilarious film deals out large quantities of humor the laughs centering about a young married couple who have completed their honeymoon and are ready for a divorce. Harry Myers and Wanda Hawley are the irritated newly-weds in "Reckless Romance" and T. Roy Barnes, Sylvia Breamer, Tully Marshall and Jack Duffy are the innocent friends who run themselves ragged in an attempt to straighten out the difficulties. NOTIONAL FORESTS The National Forests of California are one of the big business enterprises of the Government that pays for itself. Figures just released by the U.S. Forest Service district headquarters at San Francisco show that during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1924, there was turned into the Federal treasury the sum of $1,241,605 as receipts from timber sales, livestock grazing and other forms of uses of LEGION POLICIES President Coolidge has had before him today for consideration the legislative program favored by the American Legion. The recommendations urged by the Legion, which were submitted to the President by James L. Drain, national commander of the Legion, provide for the following: Universal draft of man power, labor and capital in time of war. Maintenance of a 5-5-3 navy and the elevation of turret guns. Liberal appropriations for the army and the air service. No tampering with the fundamentals of the immigration law. Restoring of General Pershing to the active list. Completion of the federal permanent hospital building program, calling for 6615 additional beds. Nineteenth amendments to the Reed-Johnson law on the care of disabled veterans. Interpretative amendments to the adjusted compensation law. Retirement of disabled emergency officers. SAME HIGH PLANE Now that the election has been so impressively won, the Republicans are being warned that they must proceed with great caution or they will soon forfeit the support that is now theirs. Such advice is entirely uncalled for. For four years the Republicans have managed the affairs of government and built up a record of achievement that has no parallel in the history of the country. The election attested whether or not that record won the approval of the people. The character of the men who will direct the affairs at Washington assures us that there will be no lowering of the standards that now prevail. The marriage altar is so-called because so many goats are sacrificed upon it.
