ANAHEIM GAZETTE MRS. HENRY KUCHEL THEODORE B. KUCHEL Editors and Publishers ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR $2.00 SIX MONTHS $1.00 Entered at the Anaheim, California Postoffice as second-class matter. STOP THE RECALL ELECTION This week, the county clerk certified that the recall petitions filed against Justice of the Peace Charles Kuchel had too many incorrect names, and not enough valid signatures on them. And thus, under the law, the circulator of them is given ten days to scour the township in order to supplement his list with additional signers in order that this town may be subjected to a recall election. And the petitions now on file show that their prominent sponsor is none other than the person who was roundly defeated for Justice of the Peace at the last regular election held here. Thus, a two-fold opportunity is presented to the people of the Anaheim township: 1. If sufficient names are not added to the list by Dec. 20, the entire list of petitions will be of no force, and this city will be saved both the expense and the ignominy of a recall election. It is estimated that the proposed recall election would add OVER TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS TO THE TAX-PAYERS' BURDEN. This in itself is no small item. Citizens in this area realize, too, that there is more expense to a recall then merely the money necessary to stage such an election. 2. If sufficient names are not added to the list within the legal time, the hard-loser at the last Justice of the Peace election—who now will be combing the town for more names—should realize that ANAHEIM DOESN'T WANT ANY MORE HECALL ELECTIONs. Public-spirited people here should pass the word along. Editor Gazette: Wasn't it regretable that "Citizen's Control Water Tee" had to go into 'huddle' because they really don't support the bond forth by our ever alert (of Supervisors — the issue identically the same as defeated Oct. 4th). Finally much debate pro and con, cided to support the press before us. Isn't that a joke? We who are opposed bonds are asked why we posed. The answer is ea don't want to shoulder an indebtedness for ourselves dren and grandchildren, even when it is not absolutely sary. As stated in a foul title, this county is seven years old or more. Has ever heard of anybody drowned or any property destroyed by the terrible we hear much about? Days of great depression stress why not apply the sage we do to our families? The many things we would have but we can get along them. The same rule applies this immense debt — we along without it. I would like to ask our supervisors if they have gotten an estimate what cost to change the railroad would have to be done: already a heavy grade. If you will what it will make the change.

THAT CANADIAN TREATY The principal topic of discussion among the economists and political leaders of the United States during the past several days has been the trade treaty recently entered into by our country and Canada. The completion of the treaty came with such startling unexpectedness to most people, and the terms were so little discussed in advance by the press of the nation, that most of the people have not yet come to a full realization of what the treaty means. Perhaps they will not get this realization until the treaty goes into effect and has had a chance to show what it can do. Briefly, concessions by the United States include the reduction in duties for fixed quotas of cattle, dairy cows, cream, certified seed potatoes, lumber and certain grades of timber, reduction of duties in hay, horses, live poultry, cneddar, cheese, turnips, apples, maple sugar, and fish. In return Canada agrees to reduce duties on agricultural products, fruits, machinery, automobiles and parts, electrical apparatus, iron and steel mill products cotton fabrics, lubricating oils and so on. In short, what has happened importantly is that Canada agrees to reduce the duties on certain classes of our manufactured goods and we have in return reduced duties on some agricultural products. The political importance of this trade pact remains to be seen, and it will probably take several months to measure its effect. Those whose memory goes back to the days of President Taft will recall that this genial statesman had his chances for re-election for President ruined by a reciprocity treaty with Canada. There can be little doubt that the present treaty will have political repercussions too. Already there are echoes of complaint from farm leaders, while the American manufacturers themselves, who are supposed to benefit by the treaty, are divided in their opinions concerning it. When the knowledge and effects of the treaty become general certain of our agricultural sections are very apt to become more of a political battleground than Mr. Hull and some of his lieutenants now suspect. In the meantime it might be well to pause for a moment to consider how far off the original track our tariff treaty makers have traveled since they set out to "build up" our foreign trade. Then they told us that their prime object was to secure wider foreign markets for the American farmer. Now the first really important treaty to be consummated is the one between Canada and the United States. This treaty seems to put the original aims of our diplomats in reverse gear.

Then they told us that their prime object was to secure wider foreign markets for the American farmer. Now the first really important treaty to be consummated is the one between Canada and the United States. This treaty seems to put the original aims of our diplomats in reverse gear. Instead of tending to produce wider foreign markets for our American farmer it throws open the domestic market to Canadian producers of farm goods. If anyone is to be benefitted at all it will be some of our own manufacturers, and that is still an open question. Just what the farmers of the United States will think about this remains to be seen. And what the Supreme Court will think about Mr. Hull's taking over the constitutional duties of Congress in writing tariffs and concluding treaties, is another question, too. An affable stranger called at the office, was asked to state his business. "You did me a favor 10 years ago," said the stranger, "and I have never forgotten it." "Ah," the office man replied, smiling with great satisfaction, "and now you have come back to return it." Not exactly. I've just reached town. I need another favor, so I thought of you right away." Some archaeologists claim they have discovered that there were crocodiles around Washington forty million years ago. And one scientist is unkind enough to say that if they find any fossilized crocodiles with their mouths open they will know that these are the remains of members of the congress of that period.

Board of Supervisors — the issue being identically the same as the one defeated Oct. 4th. Finally, after much debate pro and con, they decided to support the present issue before us. Isn't that a joke? We who are opposed to the bonds are asked why we are opposed. The answer is easy. We don't want to shoulder any more debtedness for ourselves, children and grandchildren, especially when it is not absolutely necessary. As stated in a former article, this county is seventy-five years old or more. Has any one ever heard of anybody being owned or any property being destroyed by the terrible floods he hear much about? In these days of great depression and distress why not apply the same rule we do to our families? There are many things we would like to have but we can get along without them. The same rule applies to this immense debt — we can get long without it. I would like to ask our board of supervisors if they have ever written an estimate what it would cost to change the railroad as would have to be done. There is already a heavy grade. Imagine you will what it will cost to make the change. Having had considerable experience in building railroad, the writer surmises that to make this railroad change control legislation enacted. Whether this course will be followed has the closest political observers guessing. The Supreme Court is expected to overturn some of the New Deal legislation during the winter, and the attitude of officials in this event will be an important factor in recovery. If the decrees of the high court are accepted and any new measures are written within the bounds of the Constitution, it will be an incentive to industry to speed re-employment with new confidence. That the "breathing spell" is to be lasting and that the Administration has realized that too much legislation already has blocked recovery is indicated by the speech which Secretary Roper made before Grocery Manufacturers At the same time Commerce's speech interpreted as being lenge to young Brain Trust who at business.

At the same time the Secretary of Commerce's speech was widely interpreted as being a direct challenge to young members of the Brain Trust who have lashed out at business. Whether the Secretary was speaking with the blessing of the President, as many inferred, is not known. But he said: "Business profits cannot be penalized, or the profit-and-loss system will suffer with a bad case of angina pectoris. Businesses making profits during the depression have been held up to censure because it was pointed out that millions were unemployed, while companies were actually paying dividends. This contrast is unfair. "As long as we maintain our present capatilistic system — and it will be maintained — no obstructions or deterrents must be permanently set up to prevent fair and reasonable profits." Secretary Roper, referring to the President's breathing spell letter, said "this declaration of the President's is clearcut and concrete. It means that business no longer needs to feel any uncertainty as to what may come in the future with respect to governmental measures." Undoubtedly this statement by the Cabinet officer has had wide repercussions, and official Washington is watching to see the extent to which it will be followed. Probably the first actual yardstick will be provided when President Roosevelt sends his message to Congress in January. Before that, however, the observers are keeping their eye on the conferences called for early in December to consider new NRA legislation. These conferences to which several thousand business men have been invited will be used as a sounding board for sentiment upon the question Meeting four days earlier on December 4, the Congress of America can Industry, in conjunction with the annual convention of the National Association of Manufacturers, will speak industry's mind on the question.
