Attack and Defense of Roosevelt Policies Reverberates Through Southern California (Continued from page 1) grounds that the new age has developed a new obligation upon property—a social obligation. "Not only must we protect the past freedom of property, but we must put limits upon it to make it conform to the new obligations of society," he declared. "We have gone from a matter of individual rights to one of collective rights. We must face the new facts and wipe out a large share of ancient slogans. Instead of less government in business we now must look forward to more government in business. Our philosophy must change from 'I' to 'We'. We must learn to preserve the ancient liberties of America without obstructing the new liberties. It is not a question of blindly defending our old system of government, it is a question of preparing our minds to make government so it can do what we want it to do. Your propose to reduce taxes. Yet you know that under our present system parring does not lower them. It is only by changing our government to meet new conditions, working more efficiently, that we can lessen the load we must carry." Col. McCormick was more orderly in developing his topic. He traced the history of freedom in its various outstanding phases since the earliest continental times finally arriving at the diversification of interests which settled in the 13 original colonies, and how the growth of new conditions brought a new freedom which is the sacred inheritance of 100 million Americans. He pictured a continuance of the Napoletanic wars, through a succession of Old World doctrines, in Russia, Germany and Cuba. He illustrated how Old World diplomacy had attempted to hamstring American freedom. He looked upon the NRA as giving in to the Old World theory, a return to the Star Chamber period of English history. "From a democratic people governing themselves and electing representatives," he said, "we are today little if any better than a nation of subjects." Bond Proponents Claims Labeled Outright "Lies" (Continued from page 1) from the Sacramento, they will find a way to keep it. Thus, development of the Sacramento valley will be limited. —To the region south of Tehachapi, the bill is nothing but a liability. —The bill provides that the treasury of the state may aid in constructing the project. —The federal government has made no promises of aid. —Profits from energy sales are likely to be illusory in view of the excess energy in California (now 50 per cent over demand), and, on completion of Boulder Dam, the power available will be twice the amount now sold. —Water conservation would not be assured, for that depends on the state's ability to sell its energy and water at a price to pay the interest and principal of the revenue bonds. —There would be an irresistible insistence that the state, which got the money from the bondholders and used it, was under obligation to repay the millions so borrowed and lost. The taxpayers would stand the losses. Bill Schwenckert Is Mourned Here Anaheim residents sorrowed this week when they learned of the death on October 14 of William O. F. Schwenckert, 65, former councilman and well known rancher of this city, at the French hospital, Los Angeles. The remains were cremated at a Los Angeles mortuary, and the ashes were buried on Mr. Schwenckert's ranch at Redlands, California. Death was caused by cancer of the right eye. Old Timers of Anaheim recall new freedom which is the sacred inheritance of 100 million Americans. He pictured a continuance of the Napoleonic wars, through a succession of Old World doctrines, in Russia, Germany and Cuba. He illustrated how Old World diplomacy had attempted to hamstring American freedom. He looked upon the NRA as a giving in to the Old World theory, a return to the Star Chamber period of English history. "From a democratic people governing themselves and electing representatives," he said, "we are today little if any better than a nation of subjects, dominated and domineered over by an army of officials modeled after Russia, Italy and Germany. One act of Congress has purported to wipe out our Constitution and our inherited rights. "Whatever one may think of the purpose or practical benefits of the present scheme of government control of industry and trade, there should be no objection to a straightforward definition of it. The scheme will be neither better nor worse than this. It is a re-establishment of the mediaeval English star chamber form of government. "Procedure under the National Recovery Act runs beyond this ancient procedure which in time developed so many defects and became such a convenient instrument of personal government that its abolition was one of the primary demands in the progress of the English people toward their goal of liberty. "The existence of an emergency was set up as the reason, but the only safe way to study this form of government is to divest it of question of intention—to ask what is being done, not why it is being done. "A year ago, citizen, you were doing business subject to the general laws of the country, but protected by some supposedly inviolable principles. Your property was your own and for the most part you did not need a lawyer to advise you whether you might or might not buy or sell, at what price you must mark each article, how much you could produce, what you might or not do to stop losses or reduce your inventories. Your decisions were intended to promote your welfare, earn your livelihood, keep out of bankruptcy and off the relief list. "Your case is different now. You must sign an agreement or take a code. You need a lawyer because there are so many codes. And, as you sit at your books, the shadow of a government agent, regulator, judge and jailer combined, sits with you. You may perceive what the law requires. You may move your goods, but you do not want to move into jail. Your business is full of criminal law—new law by edict, defining new crimes. An administrator makes rules from time to time, and you may not even hear of them. "You have no inviolable property." Anahelm residents sorrowed this week when they learned of the death on October 14 of William O. F. Schwenckert, 65, former councilman and well known rancher of this city, at the French hospital, Los Angeles. The remains were cremated at a Los Angeles mortuary, and the ashes were buried on Mr. Schwenckert's ranch at Redlands, California. Death was caused by cancer of the right eye. Old Timers of Anahelm recall the marriage of Mr. Schwenckert to Miss Louise Wehmeyer before the turn of the century. They lived on a 20-acre ranch at West and Santa Ana streets, where their son, Henry, was born. The widow and son are the only known survivors. The family home in recent years has been at 1544 Shatto street, Los Angeles, and previous to that, in Redlands. Mr. Schwenckert was councilman here more than a quarter of a century ago. Boysen Reflects On Vandal’s Meanness Superintendent Rudolph Boysen of the Anaheim city park this week reflected on the outright meanness of some vandal who pulled up the park department’s pet flower—a Bird of Paradise, which had been nursed along for five years and was just ready to bloom. The plant was worth $50 in cash, but a lot more in sentiment, according to the superintendent. You cannot be guided by experience. You must ignore the law of supply and demand. You must obey the administrator. Say you fail to do so and you are discovered. The government employees who issued the edict are your judges. The administrator whose edict you have offended is your judge and the law back of the edict says the verdict is final. The verdict may mean your complete ruin. Your right to do business may be taken from you. You are fined and sent to jail. Your family may be destroyed. No inviolable principle of the constitution can do anything to save you. You are as helpless as a man who offended the Tudor king and stood be fore the king’s favorites in the Star Chamber. Neither you nor any other citizen of the United States has ever had such a thing happen to him before in his own country, not since 1775, not even under the Sedition Act. Whatever may be said for the purposes of the Recovery Act, such are its consequences, and whatever conditions may be today, I do not believe they can be improved by going back on our own history and taking up methods from receipts or boxes, or 1,232 as loose fruit贮存 agreement days meeting or fruit for more California valuation in the agreed “During these through September of valencias, we or an average order said Mr. Fracke this is a jumble tically all this boxes.

Loosefruit Sales at Los Angeles Auction Returns An Average of 60 Cents Per Box Receipts of $400,000 For Equivalent of 569,265 Packed Boxes Reported at Friday's Meeting of Local Regulation Committee; Supervisor Feels Safe In Saying Shippers Will Get Refund Receipts of approximately $400,000 for the equivalent of 569,265 packed boxes, or 1,232 standard carloads, of valencia oranges sold in Southern California as loose fruit during the first four months of operation of the valencia stabilization agreement, were reported by W. C. Frackelton, general supervisor, to Friday's meeting of the local regulation committee. This committee has charge of the control and distribution of loose fruit for more than 90 per cent of all California valencia growers cooperating in the agreement. During these months of June through September, 598,244 loose bores of valencias, were sold, bringing $356,989 or an average of 60 cents per loose box. L. A.

New Ridge Route Opens On Sunday $2,900,000 Cut-Off Elimination 593 Curves, Shortens Driving Time Over An Hour California's alternate Ridge Route costing $2,900,000, and shortening the distance between San Francisco and Los Angeles by 9.6 miles will be officially opened for travel next, Sunday October 29. The new highway, which will superede the present Ridge Route, one of the most hazardous and difficult stretches of road in the state, bridges the Tehachapi range of mountains and it is estimated, will carry 3950 vehicles daily. Motorists using the new route, which is a cement concrete highway from seven to nine inches in thickness and 30 feet wide, will save from three quarters of an hour to one and one quarter hours in driving time. Ceremonies, attended by the governor state highway, county and city officials and thousands of motorists, will be held at "Channel Change" at French Flat 13 miles from the southerly end of the project, at 10:30 o'clock next Sunday morning. Gates at German and Castor will open at ten o'clock for cars enroute to the state-wide celebration. Through Receipts of approximately $400,000 for the equivalent of 569,265 packed boxes, or 1,232 standard carloads, of valencia oranges sold in Southern California as loose fruit during the first four months of operation of the valencia stabilization agreement, were reported by W. C. Frackelton, general supervisor, to Friday's meeting of the local regulation committee. This committee has charge of the control and distribution of loose fruit for more than 90 per cent of all California valencia growers cooperating in the agreement. "During these months of June through September, 598,244 loose boxes of valencias were sold, bringing $356,989 or an average of 60 cents per loose box," said Mr. Frackelton. He explained that this is a jumble pack and that practically all this fruit is sold without boxes. In addition to these sales, 126,289 boxes of lower grade fruit that would otherwise have been eliminated, was sold to juice concerns. Net returns on this fruit, after deducting selling charges, amounted to $34,578 and this juice pool will be disbursed to all marketing organizations in the plan. "Results of the past four months should be of value to us in considering future handling of loose fruit," said Mr. Frackelton. "Loose fruit has been sold at auction daily in Los Angeles at the citrus distributing plant and by private sale at the packing houses under supervision of our field men. Our auction has been well patronized by all seven of the marketing organizations that are parties to the valencia stabilization agreement, and the local regulation committee feel that results, both in volume of sales and prices, have been gratifying." "Prices have consistently higher than were obtained by anyone for loose fruit last year. We have kept Los Angeles and surrounding markets fully supplied, and have given consumers better fruit than they receive under unorganized distribution. San Francisco and other Pacific coast markets report improvement on their packed fruit business as a result of control of loose fruit in the producing sections." Mr. Frackelton explained that under the present agreement, the citrus distributing plant has controlled a much larger percentage of the oranges sold in Los Angeles. Figures of the federal-state market news service, which checks receipts of fruit daily, show that this plant is now handling over 90 per cent of oranges received in Los Angeles, compared with 55 to 70 per cent before the agreement. "We are operating to date well within the retain set by the committee, and feel safe in saying that shippers can expect a refund on this loose fruit operation," said Mr. Frackelton. Orange County To Seek Naval Base L. A. Gets Lion’s Share Auto Plates 2,000,000 Pairs Licenses Are Being Sent to Vehicle Branches In State The department of motor vehicles announces assignment of nearly 2,000,000 pairs of automobile license plates to its branches in the various cities of California for the convenience of the motorists when the annual license renewal starts January 1. In addition nearly 200,000 sets of commercial vehicle, motorcycle and trailer plates were assigned to the same offices. The plates will be delivered as rapidly as possible by the manufacturers and stored until the counters are thrown open. The same colors will be employed on 1934 plates as are used this year except that they will be reversed with the background of orange and the letters and numerals of black. The same style of black lettering will be employed. The word "California" will appear at the top of the plate instead of the bottom. Registrar Russell Bevans announced that while the official renewal season would not start until January 1st, it would be possible to submit applications by mail on and after December 1. Of the passenger car plates, 450,000 pairs will be kept at Sacramento to handle the tremendous volume of mail applications. The other assignments will be as follows: San Jose, 25,000; Stockton, 20,000; San Francisco, 250,000; Oakland, 145,-000; Fresno, 110,000; Los Angeles, 790,000; Long Beach, 90,000; San Bernardino, 35,000; San Diego, 75,000.

Ceremonies, attended by the governor state highway, county and city officials and thousands of motorists, will be held at "Channel Change" at French Flat 13 miles from the southerly end of the project, at 10:30 o'clock next Sunday morning. Gates at German and Castor will open at ten o'clock for cars enroute to the state-wide celebration. Through traffic will be permitted to traverse the 26.85 miles of new high-gear road after 2 o'clock. In travel costs California vehicles users will save, according to Director of Public Works Earl Lee Kelley, $369,000 annually and safety will be increased a hundred fold. The new route eliminates 593 curves and decreases the maximum elevation by 684 feet. Three snow summits, which have annually caused delays, are eliminated by the new route, which can be driven at high speeds because of 1000 foot minimum radius of curves. The maximum grade of the new route is six per cent and contains seven bridge structures. Two bridges were eliminated as the result of a cement concrete channel line change of Piru Creek at French Flat. With an average of 150 men at work daily it has taken three years and eight months to complete the project. Speakers at the celebration next Saturday will include Governor James Rolph Jr.; State Director of Public Works Earl Lee Kelly; Harry Hopkins; chairman of the California Highway Commission; State Highway Engineer C. H. Purcell; District Highway Engineer S. V. Cortleyo, who has been in direct charge of construction; John R. Quinn; chairman of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors; J. Perry Britt; chairman of the Kern County Board of Supervisors; William A. Simpson; president of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce; Earnest E. East; Automobile Club of Southern California and F Raymond Cato, chief of the California highway patrol. ORDER REVERSED AS JUDGE TELLS IT TO SPEEDERS Telling it to the judge is not as easy as it used to be. Indications that California justices and municipal judges are more than ever before inclined to a strict enforcement of motor vehicle laws were seen in statistics released by the department of motor vehicles. They show that of the 72,000 persons brought into court during the first six months of 1933, all but 3,800 were convicted. Orange County To Seek Naval Base Orange county is going to make a determined effort to win Uncle Sam's Southern California naval base. This was determined at a meeting of the finance committee of the Orange County National Defense association at Santa Ana's chamber of commerce Monday afternoon. The association was organized 10 days ago at Huntington Beach, for the purpose of securing if possible the naval base for this county. The committee plans to raise $3,000 for a six-month promotion campaign. This money will be sought from the county, from the cities and by subscription by private land interests. Not only will the association seek the naval base, which it proposes to have located between Seal Beach and Huntington Beach, but a government airport, as well. Harry Welch of Newport Beach was chosen to prepare details. Those present at the session were Ralph McFadden, president of the Farm Bureau Associated Chambers of Commerce, Chairman Willard Smith of the board of supervisors, Phil Stanton, Mayor Frank Champion, Laguna Beach, Supervisor W. C. Jerome, Secretary George Raymer of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, Col. M. B. Wellington, representing the American Legion, Supervisor LeRoy Lyon, M. B. Snyder, former mayor of Los Angeles, and Harry Welch. 18 Quarts of Milk Stolen From Truck Theft of a case and a half of milk—18 quart bottles—while he was delivering to a local cafe at 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, was reported to Anaheim police by Opposition to certain provisions of the code regulations proposed for the banks of California came to a head when the Bank of America, in an official statement, went on record publicly against the blanket imposition of a meter-charge on checking accounts, recommended by the committee on banking practices of the California Bankers association. The attitude of the Bank of America, which operates 418 banking offices throughout the entire State of California, was voiced by Will F. Morrish, president, in a statement in which he explained that the suggested provisions of the bank practices committee as they now stand, would "make a luxury instead of a public service out of banking. "It has always been the policy of our institution to give the small depositor adequate banking service and we have always been able to operate profitably and can continue to make profits without penalizing the small account," said Mr. Morrish. "We feel that the proposed meter charge on checking accounts, in addition to the existing $1 monthly charge for accounts of $100 or less, would deprive the small depositor of a service to which he is entitled. "Under the schedule of charges proposed by the banking practices committee, the depositor whose checking account averages less than $100 would be required to pay the present government tax of 2 cents on each check he writes, the $1 a month service charge and the meter-charge of 4 cents for each check above the ten free checks permitted him. If he writes 20 checks a month, the government tax, the service charge and the proposed meter-charge would amount to $1.80, or an average of 9 cents a check. A depositor whose balance averages between $100 and $200, and who writes 30 checks a month would pay more than 6 cents a check. All accounts up to $500 would be similarly affected." Telling it to the judge is not as easy as it used to be. Indications that California justices and municipal judges are more than ever before inclined to a strict enforcement of motor vehicle laws were seen in statistics released by the department of motor vehicles. They show that of the 72,000 persons brought into court during the first six months of 1933, all but 3,800 were convicted. Alibis and excuses failed to win leniency and those convicted paid fines in excess of $398,000. In addition, 1,621 were sent to jail for varying terms and 76, charged with serious crimes were held to answer by the superior courts. A majority of the offenses involved either speeding or reckless driving. Arrests for the first half of the year exceeded arrests of any previous like period by more than 5,000. Fines collected went to the road funds of the various counties. Under the California law courts are required to return abstracts of all cases to the headquarters of the California highway patrol. HOW WOMEN AND ME The Favor of Unless two pints of bile juice flow daily from your liver into your bowels, your food decays in your bowels. This poisons your whole body. Movements get hard and constipated. You get yellow tongue, yellow skin, pimples, dull eyes, bad breath, bad taste, gas, dizziness, headache. You have become an ugly-looking, foul-smelling, sour-thinking person. You have lost your personal charm. Everybody wants to run from you. But don't take salts, mineral waters, oils, laxative pills, laxative candies or chewing gums and Californians Eat More Meat In ’32 Report Indicates 1,800,000 Animals Slaughtered Last Year; Inspection Service Aids Vegetarianism apparently has gained little foothold in California. Figures released by the division of animal industry, state department of agriculture, indicate that citizens of this state are eating more meat than ever before. Five million, eight hundred thousand animals were slaughtered in California last year to supply meat to the people of this state, and when one half million more swine, imported yearly in the form of pork products, are added to that figure, it can be seen that Californians are far from being vegetarians. The rigid inspection service of the state has kept step with the remarkable increase in the consumption of meat. Dr. A. G. Boyd, assistant chief of the animal industry, division, said. About 93 per cent of all animals slaughtered in California are inspected under the supervision of the federal, state or state approved municipal meat inspection systems, his records showed. On the first of the month, eight meat slaughter houses in the state had federal inspection, 183 had state inspection and 154 had state approved municipal inspection, the state records indicated. As the result of the strict inspection of meat in California, packers are no longer held in contempt because the purple stamp "inspected and passed" insures the edibility of their product, Dr. Boyd commented. He said: "The meat packing industry has taken its respected place in California business life and is a valuable asset to any community." Our state cannot be made the dumping ground for food animals of questionable wholesomeness. In this age of sanitation, inspection, public health activity, disease control, and food safety of meat in California, packers are no longer held in contempt because the purple stamp "inspected and passed" insures the edibility of their product, Dr. Boyd commented. He said: "The meat packing industry has taken its respected place in California business life and is a valuable asset to any community. Our state cannot be made the dumping ground for food animals of questionable wholesomeness. In this age of sanitation, inspection, public health activity, disease control, and food hygiene, California has met the challenge and has pioneered in state meat inspection through the efforts of the state department of agriculture, and has succeeded in setting an example for other states to follow."
