ANAHEIM GAZETTE MRS. HENRY KUCHEL THEODORE B. KUCHEL Editors and Publishers ESTABLISHED 1870. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR SIX MONTHS BE SURE TO VOTE For the first time in the history of Anaheim voters in this section will take part in a recall election Friday, February 7. Whether recall movement is this, fostered solely by a defeated candidate in an effort to get himself a job, can be successful lies on behalf of voters. We do not condemn the recall principle. It was intended as a means of removing known corrupt men from office. But it was never intended to be used as a weapon to secure some disgruntled individual a public office and at the same time saddling a heavy and unnecessary tax burden on the people. It is our sincere conviction that the individual who instigated this recall did so only with the thought of personal gain. This person did not have the welfare of the community as a whole at heart. He KNOWS his cause is an unjust one. The charges of 'incompentcy' are too vague to be given serious consideration. The doings of the Anaheim Justice Court are an open book. The decisions reached there are 'man to man' rulings. The Justice Court is a more informal tribunal than the higher branches of legal procedure. Decisions are not 'taken under advisement.' Justice is dealt out on the spot with fairness to all. That is the BUSINESS of the Court. Our local Court and its head has a record second to none in the county. Aside from our family connection with the Judge the Gazette wishes only to see that right and justice prevail. We state our position without malice or personal animosity. To those of you who favor a recall of this type we urge that you study the matter carefully, look searchingly into motives laying behind it. Try to get the real reason before entering your ballot. CHAPTER I As the lumbering coach drew in front of Ernest Defarge's shop in the Rue Saint Antoine the early stage of the Revolution, the company tagged, half-staffed, swarming about a bullet that had fallen from a drayer collected the still running baggage in cups or in their hands gulped it greedily. An elecrlly man climbed on the coach, and helped a hand olive-skinned girl of about ten to alight. She was followed by a middle-aged serving woman all of a red color, from her face to the extraordrane tight-fitting costume she wore. Defarge, seeing them approach went hastily inside the shop several of the "Jacquerie", an early revolutionary organ of the oppressed common people called, were talking with wife. "Strangers coming—the he cried to Mme. Defarge," stuck a red rose in her hair, the various "Jacques" in the scattered and appeared to be mersed in different occupations. The three strangers entered ship and the young girl went rectly to Mme. Defarge. "You Mme. Defarge?" she asked, ceiling an affirmative reply said: "Recalled to life." The words evidently held a mea for Mme. Defarge, for she rejoiced. "Yes, yes, we have some wine upstairs. Defarge will you." MORE FEDERAL CAPITALS? A new set-up for federal direction in the United States has been recommended to the President by the national resources committee of which Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of the Interior, is the chairman. The plan would divide the United States into ten or more "provinces" with each having a sort of sub-capital or "little Washington," as its seat of government. It was said that the regional set-ups of new sub-capitals were recommended for national resource study and operation but it has been added by some of those who favor the plan that the federal government is becoming so complicated that it cannot all be directed from Washington and that regional capitals are necessary to take care of some of the agencies, so that all federal offices in each "province" might eventually be consolidated in the regional capitals to be set up. Of course the critics of the New Deal were quick to say that government activities and government bureaucracies at Washington have grown so—in spite of campaign promises to the contrary—that it is necessary to set up ten or twelve more capitals in order to get room enough to house all of the government workers. In this respect it is recalled that only a short time ago recommendations were made that certain government bureaus be moved from Washington to Baltimore because there was no longer room for them in Washington although all available business and office buildings have been taken over by the government, to say nothing of the homes of former society leaders, the halls of which now resound to the click of the bureaucratic typewriter. One significant feature of the plan must be lost sight of, however. The dividing of the country into ten or more federal regions means the beginning of the end for state governments. One of the objects of a great many people who believe in regional federal planning is to do away with the states and the state governments provided for in the Constitution. As the federal government spreads itself out with sub-capitals and as it takes over the functions and activities which formerly belonged to the states, as it has been doing, there becomes less and less need for state government and state capitals and things center more and more in the federal system. It is a noteworthy fact that when a "Proposed Constitution for the Socialist Commonwealth of America" was drawn up by a committee representing the Socialist Lawyers Association it was provided that "it shall be the duty of Congress to divide the territory of the Commonwealth into such regions as it may determine for the purpose of limited self-government, and shall issue to such regions charters of local self-government." It is a noteworthy fact that when a "Proposed Constitution for the Socialist Commonwealth of America" was drawn up by a committee representing the Socialist Lawyers Association it was provided that "it shall be the duty of Congress to divide the territory of the Commonwealth into such regions as it may determine for the purpose of limited self-government, and shall issue to such regions charters of local self-government." This "constitution" would pretty well do away with the states and divide the territory of the United States into "regions." Getting rid of the states is a prime socialist purpose. If there were no state governments it would be much easier to fashion the United States into a socialistic dictatorship. The old fashioned man who, as a boy, was contented on Christmas with a fifty cent short and a twenty-five cent machine-made necktie now has a son who isn't even satisfied with a new automobile unless it has a radio in it. Italian chemists have found a way to make wool from milk to combat the threatened sanctions. This will give the enterprising ad man the opportunity to label his clothing as the cream of the season's crop. Some folks are critical because it is said that the Democrats at Washington planned to charge $50 a plate for the Jackson Day dinner. Oh, well, after they pay the processing tax on the food what do you expect 'em to be able to do? A lot of folks objected when President Jefferson paid $18,000,000 for all the Louisiana Territory. It would cost the government that much now to take a tree census of Philadelphia. It used to mean a man was up-to-date if you said that he was "city broke." Now it means that he is on government relief. Wouldn't you like to be as certain about any one thing as the average Brain Truster is about everything? We understand that whiskey is going to come in a lot cheaper from Canada under the new reciprocal treaty, but how about some new cockscrews from Japan? CHAPTER I The lumbering coach drew up front of Ernest Defarge's wine in the Rue Saint Antoin, in early stage of the French revolution, the compars saw half-stair Parisians coming about a barrel wine cask had fallen from a dray. They met the still running beverage cups or in their hands and did it greedily. A cleverly man climbed out of coach, and helped a handsome-skinned girl of about eight to alight. She was followed by middle-aged serving woman of a red color, from her hair face to the extraordinary, fitting costume she wore. M. George, seeing them approaching, hastily inside the snow where all of the "Jacquerie", as that revolutionary organization he oppressed common people called, were talking with his strangers coming—the rose!" died to Mme. Defarge. She was a red rose in her hair, and various "Jacques" in the shop erred and appeared to be immed in different occupations. The three strangers entered the land and the young girl went directly to Mme. Defarge. "You are Defarge?" she asked. Reag an affirmative reply, she "Recalled to life." The three is evidently held a meaning time. Defarge, for she replied: yes, we have some fine old upstairs. Defarge will show father that they would find what he was seeking, Dr. Manette allowed himself to he led from the room. As the coach carried them away from the wine shop, a splendid carriage with the crest of the Marquis of Evremonde on the door came galloping through the street. At a cry of horror from the bystanders the coach came to a hait. Men picked up a small boy from beneath the wheels. A trembling footman cried to his master, the periwigged, fashionably clad rider in the coach: "The man is dead!" The Marquis of Evremonde addressed the crowd: "It is extraordinary to me that you people cannot take care of yourselves and your children. How do you know what injury you might do to my horses? Drive in—faster, Jean." "The Marquis of Evremonde drives fast," said Defarge ominously. "well drive him faster—to his tomb," responded his wife. On the boat from Calais to Dover, Lucie Manette and her father received the respectful attentions of a young French aristocrat, Charles Darnay. His courtesy, good looks and desire to be helpful awakened an answering interest in Lucie's neart, and she was greatly agitated when Darnay, upon disembarking at Dover, was arrested, charged with treason against the English government. She besought Mr. Lorry's intervention in the young Frenchman's benalf, with the result that the following day a father that they would find what he was seeking, Dr. Manette allowed himself to he led from the room.

She besought Mr. Lorry's intervention in the young Frenchman's benign, with the result that the following day a prominent English advocate of London, Mr. Stryver by name, was engaged by the bank of Tellson & Co., to defend Darnay in court. In Mr. Stryver's office was a man in his late twenties whom stryver placed much reliance despite his associate's habits of slothfulness and intemperance. Stryver was aware that Sydney Carton possessed a brilliant mind and had an abundant knowledge of the law; in fact, much of Stryver's own success in his profession was due to Carton's ability. He asked Carton to look into Darnay's case. Returning to his office the following day, Stryver was pained to find Carton sitting at a desk covered with bottles of wines and spirits, a towel wrapped about his head, and maudlin with drink. "Not working yet! Really, Carton, you must put your mind on this case, Darnay is up for treason and Mr. Lorry asked our special consideration." It's your consideration he wants. Give it to him. You're becoming a great man in the law courts." "I am it's due to my preseverance and the use of my brains." "You mean my brains, Stryver." "Well, I pay you for it. Really, Carton, with a man's life at stake, now can——" "I can't know Mr. Charles Darney—and I nate all Frenchmen." "But I tell you Darnay is lost unless we find some way to countact the evidence of these witnesses, Barsad and Cly." "Barsad, Barsad. Seems to me I've heard the name. Involved in a treason case once before." "I believe we've discovered something here, Carton!" Carton, ignoring him, took up the brief. "Well, Mr. Darnay, it seems Fate and Mr. Barsad have it that I should handle your case. Your life is in my hands." "Then you'd better stop your ability to make such a charge stick, Carton learned all that he needed to know in the Darnay case. When the French aristocrat appeared at the Old Bailey for trial, Carton, disguised by a wig and keeping his face concealed from Barsad, prompted Stryver. They put or cross-questioning Barsad, and had no questions to ask Lucie Manette who was obviously troubled and uttered the hope that she had said nothing to injure the young Frenchman who had been so helpful while crossing the Channel. When the prosecution's evidence was all in, and the jury as well as the spectators appeared convinced of Darnay's guilt, Stryver asked that Barsad be called again for cross-questioning. He made Barsad admit, after he had said that he lived off his property, that at present he had no estate. Prompted by Carton, Stryver then asked: "Do you know a Frenen Marquis?" Barsad, a wretched little man, paled as he denied suen an acquaintance. Stryver continued: "Now, Mr. Barsad, the Attorney General has told us that this case rests on your indentification of a certain man whom you saw enter a cabin on the Dover boat. You say that man is the prisoner here—Charles Darney. Now I want you to be very, very careful. All we want is the truth. Are you quite certain the man you saw was the prisoner? Might it have been someone else?—me, for instance, or his Lordship—" "Oh, no, sir," interjected Barsad amid a burst of laughter in the court. "Well, then," continued Stryver, "could you have mistaken him for my learned friend here?" He nodded at Sydney Carton, and moved aside so that Carton's face was revealed to the witness. Barsad started to say "No", then stopped dead, his eyes popping in amazement. "Ah, now you seem to think otherwise!" cried Stryver and turned to the judge. "Would m'lud bid my learned friend to lay his wig aside for a minute?" Carton removed his wig, and Stryver continued his questioning: "Now, Mr. Barsad, couldn't you possibly have mistaken the prisoner for Mr. Carton here?" "I don't think so, sir."

(Continued Next) WEANING OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY GAMES FROM THE STATE RECORDS Counties Continued Tehama County—Created April 15. "Tehama" is the name of one of Indians which originally lived that part of the State now bears its name. The king of the word never has definitely determined. Some cities claim it means "high." Tehama in the northern section of great Sacramento Valley is pervasive land of cattle and hay and grain and fruit. County's total of 1,872,000 farm lands cover approximately 1,200,000 acres. The Spain was pioneering California, hardy trappers, and traders explored the Monto Valley and many of settled in what now is Tehama With forests and mountains both the east and west numerous streams, the soil of which is exceptionally fertile productive. The county, lying in elevation from 200 to 300 feet, produces a wide variety of滋ous fruits, oranges and and a high quality mounple. About 2000 acres surging Corning are noted the world over for their production of the big black Sevillano olive. Tehama is one of the foremost sheep and wool counties in the State. It boasts more than 150,000 head of sheep. Cattle, including about 5,500 milk cows, total 38,000. Grain and forage crops spread over 50,000 acres. Hunting and fishing attract many sportsmen from all parts of the State. When mining was flourishing on all sides of Tehama in the early fifties, the town of Red Bluff was a community of 100 inhabitants surrounded by extensive stock ranges and farms. It was the head of navigation up the Sacramento river and thrived on trade with the mines. Today it is Tehama's county seat, prosperous and progressive and one of the best known cities in California. The town of Gerber, eight miles from Red Bluff, is a thriving railroad center and also has the largest alfalfa meal mill west of the Rockies. Los Molinos, Manton, Paskenta, Tehama and Vina all add to the general prosperity of the county. Population: 13,866. Area: 2925 Square miles. Trinity County—Created February 18, 1850. This is one of the original twenty-seven counties. This county derived its name from Trinidad Bay which was discovered and named by Captain Bruno Ezeta on June 11, 1775, a date that happened to be Trinity Sunday. The Spanish charts of the bay were misleading and Major Reading and others thought that the river he named Trinity entered into this bay. High mountains, virgin forest, glacial canyons, emerald lakes, swift streams and incomparable scenery make up Trinity county, of which it has been said: "It is a moot point among those who have viewed the Swiss Alps, or the rugged splendor of the Fiords of Norway, whether any more superb landscapes or glorious sunsets reflected from the snowclad mountains can be depicted than those in the Trinity Alps." The land is so little touched by industrial development that it is almost a virgin country. Of the total of 1,981,440 acres, about 75 per cent is covered by the Trinity National Forest, while the Shasta National Forest takes in the extreme northeastern tip. Trinity once embraced Del Norte and Humboldt Counties. While trappers and hunters had penetrated section of the county, it was gold that brought in settlers. They encountered many Indians, most of whom were friendly, but later clashes occurred when the Bridge Gulch in Hayford Creek in now is the greatest hunts and fishermen. Trinity has yielded gold and today, because its streams empty into navigable waters mining is permitted, farming and stock are successful in five tribes, particularly Ili ley. Tucked away in Alps is Weaverville, 50 miles from a railing its eighty years. 500 inhabitants leads existence. In 1850 there numbered 3,000 half were Chinese. Here in Chinese Joss House trained by seventeen Chinamen. Its draper decorations were imprint China 75 years ago. In the Trinity county built in 1858. Population Area: 3096 square mile.

In 1813, Captain his exploring expeditions through the valley oand named it "Valle d "It might have been him, sir." "Then it might have been this man or that—any one of a hundred others. In fact, now that you refresh your memory and look upon my learned friend you wouldn't want to swear that the prisoner was the man you saw on the boat—now would you?" Barsad continued to stare at Carton. The latter, with an exaggerated innocence of face, winked stylishly at the witness who swallowed, hesitated. "No, as a matter of fact," he replied slowly, "come to think of it, it wasn't the prisoner at all." "That's all, m'lud," said Stryver. After the verdict of not guilty had been rendered, Carton followed Barsad to the courtroom door. "Barsad," he said, "I think you have favored England long enough. I suggest you sned your light on another country—pernaps France, or China." "Yes, Mr. Carton, I love to travel, sir." And Barsad beat a nasty exit, while Carton joined Lucie and her father and the group congratulating Darnay on his acquittal. At Darnay's invitation, Carton joined them at dinner, consumed great quantities of wine, all but insulted his host—all because he had seen a light stronger than sympathy in Lucie's eyes as she told Darnay how glad she was that the jury had freed him. Charles Darnay became a frequent and welcome guest at Dr. Manette's establishment in Soho; Lucie's eyes told him that she returned his love. And then on the California's State Constitution, more patched than a hitch-hiker's pants, is due for further repairs and overhauling at the hands of California voters in the near future. In addition to amendments qualified for the ballot by initiative petitions, 14 constitutional amendments, proposed by the State Legislature, will be submitted for voter-ratification or rejection at the general election this year. Three of the amendments originated in the Senate and 11 in the more prolific Assembly. Reminiscent of the spectacular Upton Sinclair-Frank Merriam governorship campaign, which turned up charges that thousands of dead voters—and other thousands of ex-Califirnians, who had moved to other States—were still carried on the registration rolls, an amendment (SCA 1) will appear on the ballot to grant the Legislature full authority to amend or repeal provisions of the Permanent Registration Law. A new registration is now in progress, incidentally, under a legislative amendment recently sustained in the courts. Another proposed amendment to the Constitution (SCA 13), occasioned by clogging of the appellate courts with criminal cases, would create a Court of Criminal Appels to supplement the District of Appeal and the Supreme Court. Still another amendment (SCA 21) touching on the crime problem would authorize the Legi- debtedness through use of public funds. ACA 32 — Authorizes amendment to Los Angeles city charter providing for use of city and school district property and city streets by Pacific Exposition to commemorate completion of Boulder Dam. ACA 33 — Authorizes Los Angeles County to issue $5,000,000 in bonds to finance Pacific Exposition with consent of two-thirds of the county's voters. ACA 39 — Authorizes treasurer of any political subdivision to make temporary transfers from funds in his custody to pay interest and redemption of bonds outstanding; authorizes water districts to buy stock in water companies. ACA 42 — Provides taxes on rights to possession of land or improvements located on tax exempt land (mountain cabins on government land, etc.) shall be measured by using preceding year's tax rates, in same manner as other unsecured personal property is now taxed. ACA 58 — Establishes alternate method of creating city or county charters, authorizing governing boards to prepare and submit proposed charters to the voters; at present a board of freeholders must be elected for this purpose. ACA 62 — Authorizes Legislature or governing board of any publicly owned museum to contract with any non-profit organization for control or management of such At Darnay's invitation, Carton joined them at dinner, consumed great quantities of wine, all but insulted his host—all because he had seen a light stronger than sympathy in Lucie's eyes as she told Darnay how glad she was that the jury had freed him. Charles Darnay became a frequent and welcome guest at Dr. Manette's establishment in Soho; Lucie's eyes told him that she returned his love. And then, on the afternoon of Christmas Eve, Jarvis Lorris told Darnay something that sent him hastily to Soho. "Dr. Manette," he said when alone with the Doctor, "I have just learned from Mr. Lorris something that distresses me deeply. He has told me of your sufferings at the hands of the Marquis of Evremonde." "It's true, Charles. I've been trying to forget that awful time." "It's bitter irony that this man who did you such dreadful injustice should be my blood relative." "Charles! What are you saying?" cried Dr. Manette. "It's true. He is my uncle. My mother was an Evremonde. I have no choice but to confess it, Dr. Manette. If for no other reason than because you are Lucie's father, I had to tell you." Dr. Manette whispered: "Evremonde... The North Tower... would you mind very much... closing the door... No, no, I am here! Evremonde!" CHAPTER II "Dr. Manette! Are you ill?" asked Darnay, frightened. "What's wrong?" "I feel... safer... with the door shut." Dr. Manette's eyes still held that look of terror. "I'm very sorry, but you understand, I had to tell you. I am an Evremonde, but I love you and yours. Can you forgive me?" "I have no blame for you, Charles. You showed character in coming to me. I've learned in my sufferings not to punish the innocent. But you must promise me one thing—you must not tell Lucie." "But, I must! That would be—" "You must let me tell her, in my own time, in my own way, or you will destroy not only your happiness, but hers too. You must trust me." (Continued Next Issue) The LETTER BOX Editor, Gazette: HERE IS A PARABLE There was a certain ruler who had in his household a large number of servants and among them was one who filled an important position and had been with him many years. This servant was faithful to his master, obedient to his commands, and had given entire satisfaction, so from time to time his contract was received and he and his master lived together in harmony. But there was an envious man in the country who had long cast a covetous eye toward the job this faithful servant held therefore he finally determined to make an effort to secure it for himself. When the time came for renewing the contract he called the master to the door and said unto him: "You are being bounced." This servant who has been with you many years is not giving the best of service. Fire him and employ me in his place and you will (valley of the tules), from which this county took its name. Home of the great Sequoia and General Grant national parks and grass, incidentally, under a legislative amendment recently sustained in the courts. Another proposed amendment to the Constitution (SCA 13), occasioned by clogging of the appellate courts with criminal cases, would create a Court of Original Appels to supplement the District of Appeal and the Supreme Court. Still another amendment (SCA 21) touching on the crime problem would authorize the Legislature to exercise full control over the California Prison for Women at Tehachapi, which is now under jurisdiction of the State Board of Prison Directors. Other constitutional amendments to be submitted to the voters are as follows: ACA 3—Authorizes consolidation of city and county governments in any county regardless of size. ACA 20—Authorizes Legislature to provide for refunding or adjustment of special assessment See a vast improvement in the office. Why pay money for an inferior article when you can get a much better one for the same price? But the bos was not convinced by the envious man's argument. "Not so," said he. "This servant has always administered the affairs of his office in accordance with the rules established by me. He has been faithful and his work satisfactory. I have no complaint against him therefore I shall keep him on the job." So saying he closed, the door and bolted it. But the envious man was not daunted by this rebuff. He was disappointed, peeved and very mad, but not yet defeated. He still had another card to play, so he called his friends about him and said unto them: "The boss doesn't want me in the house. He has closed the door but the old fool has left a window open in the rear and while he is guarding the front door of you will rally around and give me a boost I can crawl through the window and take possession of the coveted job." And all his friends answered, "lead on and we will boost." So it came to pass that the envious man eventually found himself in the place he had so long coveted. Tapping the old servant on the shoulder he said: "I am in charge here now. Turn over to clashes occurred which led up to the Bridge Gulch massacre on Hayfork Creek in 1852. Trinity now is the greatest paradise for hunters and fishermen in the west. Trinity has yielded millions in gold and today, because none of its streams empty into tributaries of navigable waters, hydraulic mining is permitted. Since 1849 farming and stock raising have been successful in favored districts, particularly Hayfork Valley. Tucked away in the Trinity Alps is Weaverville, county seat, 50 miles from a railroad. Building its eighty years, the town of 500 inhabitants leads a peaceful existence. In 1850 the population numbered 3,000, half of which were Chinese. Here is an ancient Chinese Joss House now maintained by seventeen surviving Chinamen. Its draperies and altar decorations were imported from China 75 years ago. Here, too, is the Trinity county courthouse, built in 1858. Population: 2300 Area: 3096 square miles. Tulare County—Created April 20, 1852. Commandante Fages, while hunting for deserters in 1773, discovered a great lake surrounded by marshes and filled with rushes, which he named Los Tules (the tules, Scirpus lacustus). In 1813, Captain Möraga on his exploring expedition passed through the valley of this lake, and named it "Valle de los Tules" for himself. When the time came for renewing the contract he called the master to the door and said unto him: "You are being bungeed. This servant who has been with you many years is not giving the best of service. Fire him and employ me in his place and you will (valley of the tules), from which this county took its name. Home of the great Sequoia and General Grant national parks and Mount Whitney, whose summit is the highest point in the United States. Tulare also is noted as one of the wealthiest farming counties in the nation. Approximately 100,000 acres are planted to deciduous fruits and grape vines. Kaweah, Tule and Kern rivers and Deer Creek furnish abundant water for irrigation and have been harnessed for generation of electric power. The raisin is Tulare's outstanding crop with peaches, olives, prunes, figs, plums, apricots and walnuts in the order named. About 1,193,000 acres are given over to farming, making Tulare rank sixth in the State. It is second in acreage irrigated. Sequoia Park, or California Big Trees, attracts thousands of tourists. It covers 604 square miles and has twelve beautiful groves of redwoods, among which is the Giant Forest of 3200 acres containing 500,000 stately trees, 5030 of which measure more than ten feet in diameter. The General Sherman redwood is the largest living thing on earth, and next to the General Grant, a giant sequoia in Fresno county, the oldest thing on earth. There is as much lumber in this tree as can be obtained from 20 acres of average California pine forest; enough to erect 40 five-room homes. A train of 30 cars would be required to transport the trunk alone. (Continued on page 4) —A READER.
