THE ANAHEIM GAZETTE ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR.....$1.50 SIX MONTHS.....$1.00 THREE MONTHS.....$ .50 Entered at the Anaheim, California, Post Office as second class matter. RICHARDSON FOR GOVERNOR NINETEEN newspaper publishers of Orange county have signed resolutions and forwarded them to Governor Friend W. Richardson at Sacramento, asking him to become a candidate for re-election as chief executive of this state. Many other newspapers and associations have made similar requests of the Governor, and while it is known that he has been in some doubt concerning the matter, it is believed he will shortly announce his candidacy for re-election and will begin a campaign for this important office. These men have known the Governor for many years, and know him to be an upright, honorable and incorruptible man. He has been many years before the public, as Public Printer, State Treasurer and Governor of the state, and in each of these positions has rendered a faithful account of his stewardship. When called from private life to assume the duties of Public Printer, he found the affairs of that office in deplorable condition. He set himself manfully to the task of cleaning out incompetents and conserving the interests of the taxpayers. Under his administration the state printing office became one of the most efficient and economically conducted in the whole country. He was elected to the position of State Treasurer, and here again he brought about important reforms in the office, always keeping before him the interests of those who pay taxes for the support of the commonwealth. Four years ago he was elected to be Governor of California, and has to his credit a praiseworthy and economical administration of its affairs. The population of the state has greatly increased since he took office, and many important details of government have come to him for his consideration, and in all of them he has been true to himself and has not been false to any man. He has been made the target of abuse by an unscrupulous political machine which has sought his downfall, but which he has whipped again and again and we believe... elected to the position of State Treasurer, and here again he brought about important reforms in the office, always keeping before him the interests of those who pay taxes for the support of the commonwealth. Four years ago he was elected to be Governor of California, and has to his credit a praiseworthy and economical administration of its affairs. The population of the state has greatly increased since he took office, and many important details of government have come to him for his consideration, and in all of them he has been true to himself and has not been false to any man. He has been made the target of abuse by an unscrupulous political machine which has sought his downfall, but which he has whipped again and again and, we believe, will do so again this year. It is well known by his many friends that he would rather retire to private life than to be made again the target for these splenetic attacks, but he has heard the call from one end of the state to the other to stand again for this important office, and it is believed that he will shortly announce his candidacy. It seems to be the rule of politics in this state that no man can aspire to public office without being made the object of derision by a gang of vampires seeking to advantage themselves at expense of the people. The Governor has met these venal foes in combat before, and he has trounced them to a fare-you-well. He is a consistent supporter of President Coolidge's administration, and men who have fought the present national Republican administration are lining up to compass his defeat. We shall see whether the voters of California will support Richardson and the national administration or will knuckle down to the men who are opposing the administration, and seeking thereby to advantage themselves. PINCHOT ELIMINATUM One result of the Pennsylvania primary is the elimination of Governor Pinchot as a possible contender for the presidency. Indeed, his showing as a vote-gatherer was so inferior that it cannot be said he was much of a contender even for the senatorship. He ran a full quarter of a million votes behind Congressman Vare, who defeated Senator Pepper handily, and goes into the campaign with the indorsement of Secretary Mellon. Although Vare supported the administration, Senator Pepper had the cordial endorsement of Secretary Mellon, who is a powerful factor in Pennsylvania politics. John S. Fischer received the Republican nomination for governor, defeating the Vare candidate. Mellon shows his political sagacity by his prompt indorsement of Vare, and Vare comes back with a prompt indorsement of Fischer for the governorship. Both have shaken hands after the contest, and each appears to be satisfied. Governor Pinchot, who has been harsh in his criticisms of Secretary Mellon recently, rambles out of the picture, and it will be recalled that two years ago Mellon defeated him as a delegate to the Cleveland convention. Meanwhile, the President continues to saw wood, and is sitting pretty. Defeat of Pepper is cause for regret among his friends, but as the voters wanted Vare, it's Pepper for Salt River. "Navigatable" river, says the Punctillious Announcer. Debatable ground, we should say! THREE CONGRESSMEN CONGRESSMAN SWING is the only Southern California representative on duty at Washington, and has been putting up a valiant fight to get his Boulder Canyon dam bill out of committee. Congressman Lineberger of Long Beach and Congressman Fredericks of Los Angeles have both been absent for several weeks. Lineberger is home, chasing the will-o'-the-wisp of the "Navigatable" river, says the Punctilious Announcer. Debatable ground, we should say! THREE CONGRESSMEN CONGRESSMAN SWING is the only Southern California representative on duty at Washington, and has been putting up a valiant fight to get his Boulder Canyon dam bill out of committee. Congressman Lineberger of Long Beach and Congressman Fredericks of Los Angeles have both been absent for several weeks. Lineberger is home, chasing the will-o'-the-wisp of the United States senatorship, which he probably will not land, and which, if he should continue to absent himself from the national capital, should not have. Fredericks is temporarily out of view, and is likely waiting for the time when he will go into the field and harvest his beans. Wouldn't it be a jolly good provision of the law not to pay congressmen salaries when they are not working? Swing is earnestly representing the people of his district at Washington; Lineberger is home, chasing political butterflies, and Fredericks, well Fredericks, where the devil are you, anyway? SHORTRIDGE FOR SENATOR SAMUEL M. SHORTRIDGE of San Mateo will be in Orange county shortly to confer with voters relative to his candidacy for re-election. Shortridge is a good Republican and has supported the national administration during his present term in the Senate. While it is well understood that the administration has taken no hand in senatorial or congressional contests, it is known that Washington will be pleased to have Shortridge returned to the national capital as member of the upper house. Men are engaged at this moment in hurling brick-bats at him, in their advocacy of other candidates, but it seems to us that Shortridge's defeat would be regarded as a slap in the face of the President. If California Republicans are for the President, and there is little doubt of that, they should stand by Shortridge for senator. When Amundsen left Spitzbergen for the Pole, he sailed due north. When he crossed the Pole, although continuing in a straight line, he was going directly south. When he reached the Pole, the hour was in the forenoon, and when he passed the Pole, the hour changed to the afternoon of the day before. The instant he reached the Pole, the world knew of his great achievement, for his radio sent out word immediately. When Peary reached the Pole, it was more than five months before the world heard of it. Who says we are not making progress in this busy old world? Game Conservation Receives Gold Medal Interests of California Sportsmen Protected by Official Signal honors have once more come to an official of the California Fish and Game Commission. This time it is President I. Zellerbach, who has been awarded the gold medal for game conservation work given by Outdoor Life, a leading publication devoted to the great out-of-doors. The eastern award was made to William C. Adams of Boston, Mass. Mr. Zellerbach became a member of the California Fish and Game Commission but one year ago. Shortly after the first of the new year he became its president. Since his connection with the commission he has attracted no little attention by his careful consideration of the wishes of California sportsmen, who have given him their cooperation and backing, thus bringing to the commission the undivided support of the sporting public for the first time in many years. Among the major projects undertaken and carried through by Mr. Zellerbach since his advent with the commission are: 1. Installation of a business management of the commission's affairs with a business man in full charge as executive officer. 2. Incorporation of all expenditures of the commission under a strict budget. 3. Launching of a game farm—perhaps the largest in the world—near Yountville, where Mongolian pheasants, Hungarian partridges and quail are being propagated for liberation later in California valleys and mountains. 4. Establishment of 15 holding ponds where fish fry will be permitted to grow to from three and one-half to five inches in length. 5.

H. Mann DODGE DISTRIBUTOR 210 South Los Angeles Street Anaheim, California Laws You Don't Want requiring the Santa Fe and other railroads to money needlessly, tend to keep freight rates up, length of trains and saying how many men shall employed to run a train, to that extent prevent low-costs. This is your problem, too. Think it over. Manufacturing business the greater lower the cost per unit. Progressive manufacturing to increase volume of output. Laws of this country are in the business. They make andation. It is to their interest to sell at as low a price as possible, increase volume of business. A lower price they must get down to as low a figure asistent with good service. Not lower prices for materials, or wages, the latter be-greements with the men and Board established by law. The only other way left is by more efficient operation—that means handling more freight per man employed. To handle more freight economically means larger locomotives, better track and longer trains. Laws limiting the number of cars in a train, or saying how many men shall be employed on a train, are laws which to that extent prevent lowering costs and keep up rates. Any laws that require the railroads to spend money needlessly have a tendency to keep up rates. While primarily this is a railroad problem, in the end it affects your own business as well. That is why your attention is called to it in this way. Think it over. W. B.
