ANAHEIM GAZETTE ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR $1.50 SIX MONTHS $1.00 THREE MONTHS $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter CONGRESSIONAL APPORTIONMENT Correspondents at Washington are speculating on the probable course the President will take in his message to congress with reference to a proposed change in the next apportionment which will increase the membership of the House by fifty or more. This new method will eliminate losses in a number of state delegations, while other states will add materially to their delegations. An interesting article dealing with this subject which comes from our correspondent at the national capital will be found in another column of this issue. Therein it is stated that California will gain five members, but at a matter of fact we shall gain ten or eleven. Of course, much water will run under the political bridge before the census is taken in 1930, but one man's guess is as good as another's, and the subject is one of perennial interest to the people. A number of states are making claims to a great increase in their population, but the census man has a bad habit of coming along later and simmering these down materially. Thus, California now claims a population of 4,400,000, and as the state is increasing more than a hundred thousand per annum, we should have 4,800,000 in the next five years. With a proposed ratio of 218,600 population to a congressman, California should have 22 members in the lower House. What our real increase shall be, the census man will probably tell us later on. The interesting point about this matter is that Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino may be placed in one district and San Diego and Imperial in another. Each of these districts will have more than the designated ratio of population. springs from the fact that the latter has rather eclipsed the senior California senator at Washington. Shortridge has consistently supported the Republican administration, while Johnson fought Harding and has not supported President Coolidge, whom we regard as one of the greatest men who ever occupied the White House. Shortridge stands very well in Southern California, where he will receive very strong support at next year's election. He is an orater and a statesman, a true blue Republican, and has supported the party consistently for many years. We personally think well of Mr. Lineberger, but if his nomination comes at the suggestion of Hiram Johnson, he will find a rocky road to travel ahead of him. Johnson's defeat in California last year indicates that he will have another fight when he comes to be a candidate again for senator, and as he has not been a supporter of President Coolidge, we doubt very much if the Republican party in California has very much use for him. Both California senators come from San Francisco and, feeling that this state of affairs cannot continue, Johnson seeks to get rid of Shortridge so that he might have a chance for reelection in 1928. But we believe the Republicans of Southern California will have a word to say about this before long. We stand for Coolidge every time, and we stand for a senator from California who has supported him, not for a man who has consistently fought him. To defeat Shortridge would be a slap at the President. AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT More than a year ago, President Coolidge said in a public address that the debt owing us by foreign nations would not be cancelled in any manner, shape or form, but that the American people would insist upon their payment. The President has consistently followed that policy, and nearly half of the foreign debts have been refunded. He will insist upon funding the remaining obligations of our debtor nations. To cancel these debts means higher taxes for the American people, and the President certainly stands for lower taxes every time. It was a wise man who said that if the United States cancelled these debts it would, after winning the war, pay the German indemnity. That's an earful. We are for Coolidge first, last and all the time. Let France and Italy for Cypress for Nearly every number sporting. The Ladies' home of Mrs. day afternoon present, and no outfitting the school term.

Inskele for an extent they are on as the state is increasing more than a hundred thousand per annum, we should have 4,800,000 in the next five years. With a proposed ratio of 218,600 population to a congressman, California should have 22 members in the lower House. What our real increase shall be, the census man will probably tell us later on. The interesting point about this matter is that Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino may be placed in one district and San Diego and Imperial in another. Each of these districts will have more than the designated ratio of population. Congressman Swing would probably disapprove a district composed of San Diego and Imperial counties and would, in all likelihood, much prefer a district composed of Imperial, San Bernardine and Riverside. In that event, San Diego, with hardly enough population for a district, would take a slice off Orange county, and the rest of the county would be thrown into a Los Angeles district. This would be mutilation with a vengeance. Of course, as we say, much water will flow under the bridge before this occurs, but the possibility of it should engage the serious attention of every voter in the county. On the other hand, if the membership of the House be retained at its present number, the ratio may rise as high as 250,000 or thereabouts. In this event, California should have eighteen or nineteen congressmen, and there would exist little possibility of partitioning a county, although this same thing has happened before. By this ratio at least twelve states will lose membership and four or five of them may lose two congressmen each. This bitter pill is the cause of the proposed change now being discussed at Washington, and both sides to the controversy seem disposed to pass the matter up to the President. New Plan for More Congressmen Urged Republican leaders in Massachusetts are said to be urging President Coolidge to recommend a reapportionment of the number of congressmen in the various states when he sends his next message to congress. The constitution provides that there may be a reapportionment every 10 years following the taking of the census, but there has been none since 1911, owing to opposition in congress to increasing the total number in the House of Representatives. One plan now being urged by those in favor of reapportionment is that the membership of the House be increased from 435 to 485. Under this plan the ratio is 218,986, and no state will lose a member. Under one plan proposed when the subject was last up in congress, several states would have lost members. It is said by those who have looked into the subject that there has never been a decrease in House members but once since the foundation of the government, and that was in 1843. Those who argue for the proposed increase in membership claim that the American people would insist upon their payment. The President has consistently followed that policy, and nearly half of the foreign debts have been refunded. He will insist upon funding the remaining obligations of our debtor nations. To cancel these debts means higher taxes for the American people, and the President certainly stands for lower taxes every time. It was a wise man who said that if the United States cancelled these debts it would, after winning the war, pay the German indemnity. That's an earful. We are for Coolidge first, last and all the time. Let France and Italy come forward. EDITOR E. P. CLARK LOOKING BACKWARDS E. P. Clark, the well-known editor of the Riverside Press, has an article in the columns of the Pasadena Star-News referring to the organization of the Southern California Editorial Association, some thirty-seven years ago. Of the upward of one hundred members who were present at the initial meeting, Mr. Clark tells us only three are yet living and ensaged in the newspaper business. These are Mr. Clark himself, our young friend Edgar Johnson of Fullerton and the moss-backed editor of this paper, who still lives and cavorts around the editorial forest as of yore, devouring all with whom he comes in contact, or nearly all. So does Mr. Clark, and so does Brother Johnson. It's a long, long time ago that this association was formed, at a meeting held in the parliors of the Wadeau House, in Los Angeles, which was then one of the leading hostilities in Southern California, and a brilliant lot of newspaper men and women were gathered there. Among them was Col James J. Ayers of the Los Angeles Express, who was elected first president of the association; Scipio Craig of the Redlands Citrographi who was the second president of the association; Joseph D. Lynch of the Herald, Gen Harrison Gray Otis of the Times, Henry Z. Osborn, later editor of the Express; Daniel M. Baker of the Santa Ana Standard, Harry G. Tinsley of the Pomona Progress, Louis Munson of the Banning Herald and many others. A very interesting session was held, and later royal rations were served in the dining-room. None of these notable men are now living, but in their day they did their part in making Los Angeles and the rest of Southern California, and it was a pleasure and a privilege to be associated with them. The association held an annual business meeting and outing, and many points of interest on the coast and elsewhere were visited. Los Angeles was coming to be quite a pretentious city, but no no dreamed that it would one day become a place of more than a million people. The time was before the formation of Orange Riverside and Imperial counties. Much history has been made in Southern California since that time. The association still exists and is a powerful influence for good in the Southland. of Representatives. One plan now being urged by those in favor of reapportionment is that the membership of the House be increased from 435 to 485. Under this plan the ratio is 218,986, and no state will lose a member. Under one plan proposed when the subject was last up in congress, several states would have lost members. It is said by those who have looked into the subject that there has never been a decrease in House members but once since the foundation of the government, and that was in 1843. Those who argue for the proposed increase in membership claim that the House would still be smaller in proportion to population than in other countries. It is said that there are 707 members of the House of Commons, and 626 French deputies, while the membership in the German reichstag is 423. Any sort of reapportionment, however, will doubtless meet with opposition in congress. Under the plan proposed the following states would gain members: Alabama, 1; Arkansas, 1; California, 5; Connecticut, 1; Georgia, 1; Illinois, 3; Maryland, 1; Massachusetts, 2; Michigan, 4; Minnesota, 1; New Jersey, 2; New Mexico, 1; New York, 4; North Carolina, 2; Ohio, 4; Oklahoma, 1; Oregon, 1; Pennsylvania, 4; South Carolina, 1; Tennessee, 1; Texas, 3; Virginia, 1; Washington, 1; West Virginia, 1; Wisconsin, 1. All other states would retain their present membership. SEN. JOHNSON'S AMBITION Senator Hiram W. Johnson has been in Southern California for a fortnight past, and is said to be engaged in the business of selecting a candidate for United States senator to run against Samuel M. Shortridge next year, and a candidate to run against Governor Richardson, if the latter should announce himself a candidate for re-election. Since Johnson's departure for the North some days ago Congressman Lineberger of Long Beach announces that he will be a candidate against Shortridge. But whether this is done at Johnson's suggestion is not revealed. Johnson's opposition to Shortridge rests of Southern California, and it was a pleasure and a privilege to be associated with them. The association held an annual business meeting and outing, and many points of interest on the coast and elsewhere were visited. Los Angeles was coming to be quite a pretentious city, but no no dreamed that it would one day become a place of more than a million people. The time was before the formation of Orange Riverside and Imperial counties. Much history has been made in Southern California since that time. The association still exists and is a powerful influence for good in the Southland. Cypress Notes (By W. C. MILLER) Jack McClintock was the victim of a painful accident Monday afternoon when he fell from a box car on which he was playing, breaking his right arm at the wrist. He was rushed to the Artesia hospital, where Dr. Arhens reduced the fracture. Joe Burch celebrated the purchase of a new Dodge car by driving to Anaheim Landing Sunday. While there he was sporting on the beach with some friends, and while tusseling he slipped and fell on his left arm in such a manner as to break it at the show. The break proved to be a very difficult one to treat, and Joe will be on the shelf for at least two months. Jack Haley is in from Yuma for a few days. Jack is engaged in testing out Yuma's oil prospects. The first oil sand was encountered at 1250 feet, and the company is going to prove the sand. Jack thinks that a well of from 25 to 50 barrels can be developed. If a 50-barrel well can be developed, it will greatly aid in deeper development, as fuel oil is so high out in that section. Haley was one of the first drillers in the Olinda field and is well qualified to develop a field in the Yuma section if there is one to develop. Anaheim Landing is a popular place ANAHEIM GAZETTE for Cypress folk these warm afternoons, Nearly every afternoon sees a goodly number sporting about on the sands. The Ladies' Sewing Club met at the home of Mrs. Lucy Miller last Wednesday afternoon. Fifteen members were present, and much was accomplished in outfitting the kiddies for the coming school term.

Through the heart of the country it takes its broadening and deepening as lesser rivers empty their flow into its current. Farms and cities on its banks find it a source of industry and a means of supply. Through the country runs another river, as continuous as the Mississippi in its flow. It is the river of thought which, day and night, moves through the land and vitalizes the national life. Its source lies in the people's knowledge that communication with all parts of the country is possible. It is a stream that deepens and broadens and grows stronger as thought is added to thought, as the mind of one community joins the mind of another. America's national telephone system is a channel for this river, for Bell System service unites all sections of the country. It leaves no gap in the pathway of communication. It knows no off-duty hours, nor any corner of the nation that is too remote to be reached. The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company BELL SYSTEM One Policy • One System • Universal Service
