THE ANAHEIM GAZETTE HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Proprietor ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR $2.00 SIX MONTHS 1.25 THREE MONTHS .75 Entered at the Anaheim, Californias, Post Office as second class matter. WHAT OUR TARIFF IS DOING SELDOM has a better and terser exposition of the workings of our present tariff been given than that contained in the recent general message of the President at the opening of congress. The American people will greet with general approval the suggestion that there be no changes at this time in our protective tariff laws, looking toward a general reduction of duties. Just how any change could be made that would help the American people is difficult to see. We have now reached the high tide of our general prosperity. The agricultural situation is improving, and certainly could not be improved to any greater degree by lowering the tariff. In fact many wise farm leaders believe that what the farmer needs is not any general reduction in the tariff, but an increase in the rates on certain farm products. Occasionally some theoretical free trader rises to talk about how the American people are being taxed and plundered by the protective tariff. Such assaults are not nearly so numerous as they were a few years ago, but they will happen now and then. The statistics contained in the President's remarks on the tariff are clear and convincing and show how wide these free trade utterances are of the mark. Some free traders have been fearful that our present tariff rates would destroy our world trade. Yet, as the President points out, it is estimated that our customs receipts for the fiscal year will exceed $615,000,000, the largest in the history of the country. Our imports for the last fiscal year amounted to $4,466,000,000, an increase of more than 70 per cent since the present tariff law went into effect. This pretty effectively disposes of the argument that our tariff is strangling foreign trade. But this is only a part of the story. About 65 per cent of these imports, or nearly three billion dollars worth came in free of duty, and we are importing more goods duty free than any other country in the world excepting Great Britain. So much for the tariff barrier which the free traders say we have built against... that our present tariff rates would destroy our world trade.

About 65 per cent of these imports, or nearly three billion dollars worth came in free of duty, and we are importing more goods duty free than any other country in the world excepting Great Britain. So much for the tariff barrier which the free traders say we have built against other nations. We are, as the President points out, levying duties on about $1,550,000 worth of imports, but of these nearly half, or $700,-000,000 worth, are subject to duties for the protection of agriculture and originate in countries outside of Europe. It is to be seen therefore that nearly half of our imports, which are protected, are imports which come into competition with what our farmers raise at home. So much for the free trade statement that the tariff is not aiding the farmer. And again, another $300,000,000 worth of imports are costly imported rugs and other luxuries, such as furs and diamonds. Certainly the tariff on these articles does not overburden the farmer and the laboring man. This leaves about $550,000,000 worth of goods which pays a duty coming in, only 12 per cent of our total imports. And as the President points out, it is the duty on this 12 per cent of manufactured goods which marks the difference between our present prosperity and a possible depression which would follow free trade. And with a recession of prosperity would come hard times which would not only close our own factories but injure the market of the European importers, concerning whom our free traders and other internationalists seem so anxious and solicitous. WHERE THE UNITED STATES STANDS The latest White House pronouncement on the World Court situation has been widely interpreted as a sign that the court will have to get along without the United States. This does not necessarily follow from the language of the pronouncement. What is clear from that language is that the United States is not likely to enter the World Court unless the reservations laid down by the Senate are accepted by the present signatories to the protocol. As long as the relations of the League Council to the court are undefined, with respect to advisory opinions, we should be extremely unwise to take other than the most inclusive way of protecting American interests against a possible combination of foreign powers. The present members of the World Court know on precisely what terms the United States is prepared to join them. They can accept or reject those terms. They must know by this time that there will be no "running after" the court by the United States. WHAT LIBERTY IS One word in our language often misused is the word liberty. Liberty is not the right of every man to do as he pleases. Every man cannot do as he pleases, since such an exercise of liberty would limit the similar right of others. Liberty is only the right to do as one pleases insofar as this does not sacrifice the freedom of others and the welfare of society. The savage in the jungle alone has that liberty which some conceive to be the right of every individual; that is to say, no law restrains him from working his own will. But in such a case the ambition WHAT LIBERTY IS ONE word in our language often misused is the word liberty. Liberty is not the right of every man to do as he pleases. Every man cannot do as he pleases, since such an exercise of liberty would limit the similar right of others. Liberty is only the right to do as one pleases insofar as this does not sacrifice the freedom of others and the welfare of society. The savage in the jungle alone has that liberty which some conceive to be the right of every individual; that is to say, no law restrains him from working his own will. But in such a case the ambition of others to have that same liberty restrains its exercise. The strong prevail; the rights of the weak are sacrificed. In an ordered state the individual must sacrifice his 'right' to maintain a public nuisance, disregard sanitation, defy quarantine, refuse schooling and satisfy his anti-social appetites in order that the people as a whole may have freedom from annoyance, disease, pauperism, ignorance or violence due to the exercise of what in a more primitive state of society would be considered natural rights. Our crop of anarchists—rebels against regulation in the interests of society—seems to be growing. Without counting the advantages of the protection which society gives them, they wish not to be bound by the statutes and ordinances necessary to the protection of others. Such an attitude seems to be chiefly the result of excessive self-esteem. Especially is respect due social regulation when the safeguards against which complaint is made have been effected by legal process in a republic where law is public opinion crystallized. We have no law in this country which cannot be repealed whenever a majority of the people so decide. We have provided in our federal Constitution for the preservation of certain personal rights essential to freedom which even statutes cannot invade. We have a larger measure of true liberty in this country—the liberty of every man to work out his own destiny—than is found in any other country in the world. If every citizen should turn rebel against every law which does not suit him, the result would be anarchy, and the rights of all would be sacrificed. To expect society to extend to us the protection of the laws we like and in turn to denounce and defy those laws which impose disagreeable restraints upon us, is evidence of the lack of an underlying sense of fairness. People can live together only by mutual concessions and a decent regard for the rules of the game. Those who refuse to do so are not "square." They attach too much importance to themselves and too little to others. PRIZE STORIES OF ORANGE COUNTY N. E. A. Makes Awards for Best Descriptive Articles on Sojourn of Association In This Section in June Much favorable publicity of Orange county has come from the visit here last June of the National Editorial Association, when several hundred editors spent the day as guests of the county. Every one of these editors has written columns of Orange of Orange county, and from one end of the land to the other they have continued to sing its praises. The editors arrived on a special train from San Diego, and were entertained at breakfast at St. Ann's Inn. They were driven on a tour of the southern portions of the county, and at noon sat down to a sumptuous feast at the county park. They were later driven through the northern portions of the county, passing through this city and other towns, and spent some time as guests of C. C. Chapman of Fullerton, where they were permitted to enter his orange grove and pick oranges at will from the trees. Many of them had never seen an orange orchard before in their lives, and few of them had ever had the happiness of picking an orange from the tree. Their annual session was held in Los Angeles, where they remained for 10 days. They continued on their way north and returned, east along the northern route. Their impressions of California would fill many books, and nowhere is more favorable mention made than in their references to Orange county. Three prizes were offered for the best articles on this county: $100 for the first, $50 for the second, and $25 for the third. First prize was awarded Marion Bruce of the Rolle Arrow, Rolle Iowa. Second prize went to Miss Mary Hotalling of the Mapleton Enterprise, Mapleton Minn. Third prize was taken by Miss Iva M. Young of Bellows Falls Times. Bellows Falls, Vt. The first prize article is reproduced here to overcome every inconvenience and it does in Orange county, judging from the way they are going after more and more wells. Not only is every city of any pretensions in Orange county possessed of a park, but here we find a spacious and wonderful county park. It is tucked away midst the hills along a beautiful stream, and here the live oak and sycamore tree, planted because a pioneer had a vision, thrive and give ample shade for comfort. It was in this fine park the splendid people of Orange county poured out their hospitality to the editorial party in a sumptuous lunch, where orange juice and avocado ice cream were featured. In fact the avocado, the aristocrat of the fruit family, was served in six styles at this lunch. Avocados are claimed to be as rich in nutritive value as prime sirloin. Predictions are made that in time avocados will be known and served in every home, but we are sure they must, like grapefruit, prove their worth and await the development of an appetite for them. The stay in this park was delightful one, and here one of the permanent arrangements of Orange county was forcibly brought to mind. An outdoor picnic may be planned for most any time of year with the assurance it will not be spoiled by rain. Water is controlled here and when needed is poured on the productive soil and not spilled on picnic parties. How unlike our beloved Iowa, where sometimes a series of plenies is planned to break a drouth. This handy arrangement opens up another feature of Orange county—its adaptability for outdoor life and consequently health; also the great opportunity it affords for performing all outdoor tasks on time and without the fear that the efforts of today will be ruined by the inclementes of tomorrow. Before departing let us say in the slightly altered words of a famous poet: "This medley of glorious charm that dwells In hill and vale and sea; God gathered together with infinite care And gave you, Orange county, to me."

Young of Bellows Falls Times, Bellows Falls, VT. The first prize article is reproduced here with: Impressions of Orange County Oranges and Petroleum—No, not a new soda fountain drink, but a real cocktail or stimulant known as "income" and nowhere on earth do we find this mixture more successfully concocted than in Orange county, California. Home of Sun-kist fruit and sun-bright people. Orange county produces yearly fifty millions in oil and fifteen millions in oranges, a fact we learned during the recent visit of the National Editorial Association to that most wonderful of all counties. Our train, decorated with flowers and loaded with oranges, landed us in the beautiful city of Santa Ana, the county seat and a city of more than thirty thousand contented souls, early in the morning, and from the moment our feet touched the productive soil of the county until late in the afternoon, marvel after marvel greeted our vision and thrill after thrill electrified our bodies. Our first introduction was to one of those institutions that makes travel and visiting in California so delightful—a real inn, the Santa Ana, where breakfast refreshed the inner man. Following this demonstration of top-shelf California hospitality, automobiles were filled for a tour through fairyland, over wide boulevards, now palm-lined, next through beautiful groves of lemons, or walmets, over hills, through dales, up canyons, down terraces, always with a changing panorama that kept one marvelling and wondering what would come next. The purple Pacific, the climate equalizer for this county, broke into view in magnificent tranquility and captivated us with its grandeur. For forty miles the fine boulevards of this county skirt the sea and provide a drive seldom excelled for beauty and comfort summer or winter. Newport Bay, home of pleasure yachts and light craft, is visited and here we find a natural harbor awaiting only the ingenuity and labor of man to make it conform to modern demands and accommodate deep water vessels. Here we found fine towns and beach resorts in Newport Beach, Balboa and Corona del Mar, excellent places for homes by the sea, an evidently many have discovered. Our motorcade passed on over the ocean highway to Huntington Beach, a well developed ocean resort with its bathing and other facilities. The beach is exceptionally beautiful here, the water tempting and the sands temperate. The community is growing rapidly both in population and in popular favor. Further up the coast are Sunset Beach This grand feed and feast of visiting over, we pass on to view new scenes and enjoy new experiences. The writer considers himself exceptionally fortunate in having been permitted by the foresight of his driver and the speed of his automobile to make a visit to Panoramia Hill on Lemon Heights. Here, climbing over terraced hills, one reaches an altitude where the vision is greatly increased, and from the top of this elevation looking toward the Pacific ocean there was presented to us a landscape view we do not expect to see excelled this side of the hills of paradise. We wonder if the people of Orange county fully appreciate their proximity to heaven. The trip into the hill section revealed to us further beauties of landscape and added varieties of production until we marveled at the versatility of this county. We find that we must add to our Orange-Petroleum cocktail many ingredients, including the English walnut, apple apricot, berries, corn, dairy products, figs, fish, granes, barley, wheat, hay, honey, grapefruit, lemon, loquats, livestock, flowers, nursery stock, olives, peaches, peppers, persimmons, plums, potatoes, lima beans, seeds, sugar and vegetables of all kinds until we run our income total up past eighty-two million dollars in a comparatively small county. Some "stimulant," we'd say. With such scenic beauty and soil production one would think a sordid thing like industrialism would be lost sight of, but not so. In the beautiful city of Orange, with its 10,000 population, we find an industrial center of much importance with a three million dollar wire plant; textile plant of considerable capacity and other busy factories. The county has best sugar factories and is a leader in production along this line. Crude oil is also refined into many products within the county. A welcoming hand is being held out to all industrial propositions and the inducements offered are excellent transportation facilities, splendid working conditions and concentrated populations to supply. Other towns of pretentious size are Anaheim of 12,500, home of the California Valencia Orange Show. This rapidly growing city is located upon three transcontinental railways. Fullerton, with a population of 10,000, is located in a rich orange and walnut producing section and is almost encircled with oil wells. Smaller places not previously mentioned are Tustin Brea, Garden Grove, Buena Park Placentia, Yorba Linda, El Modena, Villa Park Olive La Habra, El Toro Laguna SUBJECT ALSO to the reservation of the East and South 20 feet, as contained in deeds of record.

Here we found fine towns and beach resorts in Newport Beach, Balboa and Corona del Mar, excellent places for homes by the sea, an evidently many have discovered. Our motorcade passed on over the ocean highway to Huntington Beach, a well-developed ocean resort with its bathing and other facilities. The beach is exceptionally beautiful here, the water tempting and the sands temperate. The community is growing rapidly both in population and in popular favor. Further up the coast are Sunset Beach and Seal Beach, the latter place having been exceptionally favored by Nature falling to put an undertow in the ocean. It is a fine place for ocean bathing. The entire coast line of the county is interesting and fascinating and is rapidly gaining favor as a playground because of its delightful year-round climate. In a shorter time than one realizes now the entire coast line will be occupied by popular resorts and beautiful homes. We have discovered before this that all the beauty of an automobile ride in this section is not confined to the lay of the land and the stretch of the sea. Much beauty has been added by man in the building of homes and public buildings. The world's best architects have let their imaginations run riot and conceived many beautiful structures. We find them in great beauty, from the sacred and ancient mission building to the modern and immense polytechnic high school building at Santa Ana. The homes are splendid and atmospheric conditions and the quality of the sun permit of exterior decorations of soft shades that blend beautifully in a grand color scheme of purple sea, azure sky, green verdure and golden sunset. Everything conspires to the beautiful. Our wheeled caravan moves on through oil fields where derricks stand thick, suggesting here is one place where the "huddle system" does not delay the game. The bad smell and the ungainly sights in an oil field are lost sight of when one thinks of the wealth added to the community. If visitors can overlook these features, the smell must be as incense to the nostrils of the owners. Think of one county-producing fifty millions in oil. That ought One of the most delightful features of the day was the visit to the home of C. C. Chapman, near Fullerton, home of the "Old Mission" brand of Valencia oranges and the center from which the wonderful production of the Valencia oranges of this county sprang. Here we were privileged to enter the grove and pick as many of the luscious specimens as we liked. We were here educated to the fact an orange isn't a real orange just because it belongs to the family. There are oranges and oranges, but the "Old Mission" brand and its neighbor, the "Sun-kist" brand of Valencias are in a class by themselves. No one really appreciates the flavor of an orange until he has picked a tree-ripened Valencia with his own hands and devoured it where it grows. It is surprising how many you can get away with and appreciate under such conditions. Our desire to own an orange grove and live in it was not decreased by our visit to this admirable place. Mr. Chapman's hospitality was as generous as his fruit was luscious. But this wonderful day was drawing to a close. Soon we were to pass on and this visit was to linger in our mind as a pleasant dream for life, and perhaps into eternity, who knows.
