ANAHEIM GAZETTE ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuechel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR.....$1.50 SIX MONTHS.....$1.00 THREE MONTHS.....$ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter OUR SAVINGS ACCOUNT Half a billion dollars is a large sum, except when a nation goes to war, and then it runs out of the hopper like grain. We are now trying by a public policy to "economize" and "research," to see if by national cheeseparing we may not escape some of the tax burden we assumed so recklessly while suffering from high war temperature. For instance; we wasted about $2,000,000,000 in a futile effort to make the beat and the most flying ships in the world, and we did neither. Here we are seven years after the war ended with no flying equipment at all compared to other nations who used less money, but more brains, in placing military aviation on its feet. And after wasting that huge sum we must now economize by refusing to spend a fraction of it to give us a real defense in the air. But we are doing some valuable saving of another sort as a people. We added to the amount carried in the savings banks half a billion dollars last year. The total thus held in banks is $7,002,000. One-fourteenth of this total was deposited last year, approximately an average of $5 a person for the whole year. It does not seem a large sum when thus averaged. We have a lot of people in this country and they earn a large sum of money each year, approximately $70,000,000,000. This is about -700 per capita. If we save $5 each we save only seven-tenths of one cent of our income. Can we justly call that an evidence of turf? Of course savings bank accounts do not represent the total of savings Many have bought stocks, others houses, others invested in industries. There is real value way to estimate what the total line will be watched with great interest all over Southern California's citrus area. SURTAXES AND EXEMPTS "Iincome tax reports show that many of our wealthiest people pay little or nothing to the government. That is because, in a majority of instances, the income is derived from investments in tax-exempt securities, such as those issued by states, districts and cities, which cannot be used without constitutional amendment. There are from twelve to fifteen billions of such securities issued, mostly in the lands of wealthy people. "These securities bear lower interest than industrial or other investments, but many times the loss in interest is saved in income taxation, which through surtaxes takes as much as half the income. As a consequence, capital that should be invested in industry and development is withdrawn for exempt accruals. "In this way the high surtax defeats its purpose, for the government is by losing the revenue it would otherwise have which would reduce taxation. The direct effect of clenching the rich has been to scatter and conceal wealth, with the result that there are fewer big taxpayers, each year, despite the increase in wealth. "The Treasury's policy is to diminish the surtax each year but it will insist business development by attracting capital from the exempt securities." -Salem, Oregon: Capital Journal. An exorbitant income tax does not lift the able rich who escape via the compulsions, industry and development which already bears most of the property and personal tax are doubly penalized not only in taxation, but in training necessary capital. Polk Smart Shop Shows $50,000 Worth of Furs In all ages and in all climates the prestige of it has never been disputed as an art of adornment and dissection and especially at this season of the year the sway of fur is of vast consideration, for there is hardly a was deposited last year, approximately an average of $5 a person for the whole year. It does not seem a large sum when thus averaged. We have a lot of people in this country and they earn a large sum of money each year, approximately $70,000,000,000. This is about -700 per capita. If we save $5 each we save only seven-tenths of one per cent of our income. Can we just call that an evidence of turf? Of course savings bank accounts do not represent the total of savings Many have bought stocks, others houses, others invested in industries. There is realizing way to estimate what the total savings of a nation were. Not all stock investments can properly be counted as savings. It is estimated that half a billion dollars were invested in fraudulent stocks, a sum equal to the total of money placed in banks on term deposit. This also is a huge sum when considered in total. We know how many individuals own the savings deposits, but we do not know how many contributed an equal sum to fraudulent stock holders. Nor do we know how many bought "legitimate" stocks in a speculative way and lost their money. Apparently we lost more money trying to make money too fast with it than we place in the banks for safe keeping. SMUDGE OR INSURANCE Among most of the citrus growers of Southern California, the correlation is growing that it costs less to protect a grove against damage by frost than it does to take the damage as it comes without effort to prevent it. Growers in some of the districts where damage is most likely to occur were therefore interested in recent announcements that insurance rates to cover damage by frost had been increased, says the Regist. Ever since citrus growing was started in Southern California the cold snaps that come every few years have constituted a grower's problem. As values have increased, safeguarding of an investment in a grove has seemed all the more necessary. A quarter of a century ago about all any grower thought of doing to lesson frost damage was to turn water into his grove on the eve of what appeared to be a danger morning. It was believed that freezing water would give off sufficient heat to save the fruit on the trees, and that water and damp earth would attract the frost to the earth. Most growers then took, and many of them now take, the frost philosophically and without any effort at all to fight it. Then came smudge pots, and smudge pots were found effective agents of protection. It has been confidently asserted that by ample smudging any orchard in this county can be saved from serious frost damage in any frost that comes in this mild climate. Smudging, however, has its drawbacks, the most serious of which is the nuisance created by the smoke permeating homes in communities where smudging is used. Several months ago a conference of citrus representatives was held for the purpose of initiating a movement for Polk Smart Shop Shows $50,000 Worth of Furs In all areas and in all climates the prestige of it has never been disrupted an adornment and dissection and especially at this season of the year the sway of fur is of vast consideration; for there is hardly a armament for day or evening wear that does not require the embellishment of air of some kind. Ladies of Anaheim this week have the opportunity of viewing at the Polk Smart Shop one of the finest displays of furs ever presented to the ladies of orange county. Fur coats of such diversification of cut, such arrangement of marking, and altogether so elaborate to please the most exacting. Foxes in all the most desired shades, jackets of Hudson Bay sables, Daimartins and Russian sables, Siberian dwarf neckpieces and lacquettes, such favored by the college girl and also in demand for sport wear in online bank, seal American broadtail nut squirrel. This display of furs which is being made by one of the leading furriers of America is in charge of Harry Barron at the Marcell For Shop of Los Angeles, and will be open for inspection all the rest of this week. RECEIVES MORE MONEY FOR ORANGE GROWERS The Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association is today distributing its growers saving oranges in its pool No. 2 the sum of $144,753.12. This pool represents 11,900 boxes. This was a short pool, which extended from July 7 to August 15, and is nothing more than $3.50 per box. In addition to a snug sum for their units in same pool. This association always makes a conference and distinct accounting of its units to growers furnishing some, and apt to such growers at end of each pool, the net proceeds received there. The Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association has more cars of oranges coming for shipment than any other ship of Valencias in California at full N being 23 after today. From these observations it would seem that those who have held fruit for shipments are going to be rewarded. This organization expects to complete shipments of Valencias about October 16. Some of its mother co-owner sold for $19.40 in a Boston auction on Tuesday. Buena Park Notes (By MRS. J. P. HOBISON) Then came smudge pots, and smudge pots were found effective agents of protection. It has been confidently asserted that by ample smudging any orchard in this county can be saved from serious frost damage in any frost that comes in this mild climate. Smudging, however, has its drawbacks, the most serious of which is the nuisance created by the smoke permeating homes in communities where smudging is used. Several months ago a conference of citrus representatives was held for the purpose of initiating a movement for legislation against smudging. The meeting was called by a number of residents of the Pomena section, where smudging had been heavy and damage in homes exasperating. Instead of initiating legislation, the conference declared itself as strongly in favor of allowing citrus growers a free hand in fighting the frost. It was pointed out that every community as a whole and all the individuals in it are interested in saving the crops in its vicinity, and that the hands of the citrus growers should be upheld in their efforts to solve its problem; The growers realize that smudging is annoying, and through their organizations efforts are being put forth to find some better means of fighting the frost. Movements of air through fans, betterment of smudge pots, and other methods of frost fighting are given close attention and study, and the growers stand ready to spend their money in these investigations. What they want is something they can depend upon to save them from loss, and in that wish every Southern California community situated in a citrus section joins. Frost insurance is a comparatively new factor in the situation. The extent to which it will be used depends largely upon rates, and the insurance companies admit that as yet they are not in a position to say what their rates in years to come will be. Their experience in the business of insurance against frost damage in citrus groves is limited. It is believed, however, that within a few years rates can be lowered to such an extent that many growers now using smudge pots will abandon them for insurance.

The articles mentioned are a good barometer of prices of other food products. While it is true that the wages in the United States are far higher than in any other country, and while it is also true that the people do not object to paying the producer a good price for his goods, it is also a fact that there is a general complaint throughout the country against the small group of middlemen who have little, if any, capital invested and who take practically no risks in business. It is acknowledged by the economists and other experts that the President's suggestions along the lines of cooperative marketing, if followed by Congress, will do much in solving the problem of both the producer and the consumer. PROPOSE RADIO HIGHWAYS The radio millennium, a world of night devoid of static, interference and fading, has not arrived—yet. But radio scientists, engineers and the operators of large broadcasting stations are moving forward with what they hope will be an acceptable substitute, in the form of a nation-wide hook-up of a series of super-power stations and the broadcasting of better balanced programs. The problem of eliminating static, interference and fading is theoretical, but that of better programs is practical and immediate, said David Sarnoff in a discussion of the technical and popular trend of radio. "I have held that the problem of national broadcasting facilities can best be met by a system of high power stations to form the main highway of the air, supplemented and supported by existing local stations and local service." For present, the centralized agency that must and will eventually be formed to undertake systematized distribution of national and international radio programs is receiving the earnest study of Mr. Sarnoff and the men associated with him in the conduct of the radio industry.
