ANAHEIM GAZETTE Established 1870 Orange County's Oldest Newspaper HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1935 The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, Calif. MRS. HENRY KUCHEL — THEODORE B. KUCHEL Editors and Publishers ANOTHER SIGNPOST In the story of accomplishment centering around the once insignificant soybean lies further demonstrable proof of the natural partnership between agriculture and industry—of the growing realization by the industrialist and the farmer that the shop and the farm each needs what the other produces. For thousands of years the soybean was known only as a food for humans and animals. Then, in the laboratories of industry, it was recently discovered that oil from the soybean contains certain matter usable in making an enamel for painting automobile bodies and mixing with sand to make foundry cores. The meal, or residue, is an excellent food for cattle, it has been revealed. Scientists further discovered that the soybean can be used in the composition for making plastic mouldings, the horn button, the gear shift lever ball, the distributor case and cover, window trim strips and other moulded articles for use in automobiles. While this is but one isolated example, it is typical of the strides that are being made each day working toward a closer partnership between the farmer and the manufacturer. TIDELAND OIL DRILLING After years of controversy concerning tideland oil drilling and the state's oil resources underlying the tidelands, it appears that the entire situation has been worked out as near as possible to the best interests of the people of the state in proposition Number 4 on the November ballot. While this is but one isolated example, it is typical of the strides that are being made each day working toward a closer partnership between the farmer and the manufacturer. TIDELAND OIL DRILLING After years of controversy concerning tideland oil drilling and the state's oil resources underlying the tidelands, it appears that the entire situation has been worked out as near as possible to the best interests of the people of the state in proposition Number 4 on the November ballot. After a careful study of the measure this newspaper is of the opinion that the measure affords the most satisfactory solution to the problem yet advanced and should be given a favorable vote. Briefly, the measure would prohibit tideland drilling forever; and authorize slant drilling from uplands into state-owned oil pools. The measure prohibits pollution and any interference with bathing, fishing and navigation. The state would issue leases for slant-drilling calling for a flat royalty to the state of 14 2/7 percent royalty. One-half of the revenue would go into the general fund and the other half would be expended for acquiring, developing and maintaining state parks and beaches. The amount of new revenue the measure would bring into the state treasury can only be estimated. That the revenue would be considerable is the general consensus of opinion among those familiar with the subject who say the minimum return to the state would be about $2,000,000 annually over a period of twenty-five years. The measure in no way interferes with the constitutional rights of citizens and counties to regulate drilling. That there is need of some power of the state to regulate and to protect its oil resources and to receive the maximum return from the development of them is well known. At present, oil is being taken from state pools. As the result of litigation, some wells are now paying royalties to the state. Others are paying nothing. In providing revenue to the state; in protecting the beaches and the state's oil resources; in providing for more public beaches and parks without cost, the measure deserves a "Yes" vote.

New Hampshire's Gover Bridges and Vermont's Gover Smith believe that their ties are already in the Republian bag; but California's Mergant, Maryland's Nice and North Ontario's Welford would probably mately concede that their states in Franklin Roosevelt's bag. Estate Buck has done little to his state's 3 electoral votes; New Jersey's Hoffman is probmore of a hindrance than a to his state's republicans; Michigan's Fitzgerald is endied in a touch-and-go dogof his state. Not democrats, but allies of the Deal nonetheless, are Wisconsin's Philip LaFollette and nesota's Hjalmar Peterson, lessor to the late Floyd Olson. No means, however, does the enceance of a democrat in the capitol mean that the state fall without fuss into the Deal's lap on November 3; The governors of the three most populous states, which toter have 112 votes in the eleccleon college, (where 266 is a mary), are able, active, popular, telehearted New Deal supportment in New York (47 electoral votes).

PLOWMAN'S RETURN WASHINGTON — As a manufacturer of agricultural machiery, one time President George Nelson Peek of the Moline Plow company long ago became deeply interested in farm problems. As a republican politician, he began agitating for an export subsidy for the United States farmer, become a democrat when republicans failed to solve the farm problem. Later, President Roosevelt made him head of the AAA. Quarrelling with braintrusters over the agricultural codes, George Peek resigned, was then appointed special foreign trade adviser and head of the Export Import banks. But because he disapproved of Secretary Hull's method of handling reciprocal trade treaties, he soon quit this post, left the democratic ranks altogether. Plowman Peek last week announced, in a republican national committee radio broadcast, that the man who would give the farmers the best break during the next four years would be Nominee Alf Landon, because "the republican platform promises three things of paramount importance to agriculture: (1) The American market for the American farmer; (2) Government assistance in disposing of surpluses in foreign trade through selective bargaining; (3) Tariff benefits on export crops." Because of this peaceful trend, Manila's plump Mayor Juan Posadas ignored an anonymous letter he received last week, warning that Manila would burn the following night. Suddenly in the early morning hours there was an explosion. Then another and another. Bombs wrecked part of a hotel, blew up the chief water-main serving the northern part of the city, found 5 or 6 unexploded bombs, tried by a frantic display of energy to conceal the fact that Benigno Ramos' proclamation had completely lulled their suspicions, that they had taken few precautions against such violence, that they had no idea whether Sak-dallistas, Communists or other radicals had sown Manila with explosives. AMOS— SAN FRANCISCO—Haled into a San Francisco court last week was John L. Green, charged with being drunk in a public place and cruel to an animal, his pet duck "Amos" with whom he had spent an hilarious Saturday night. Reported a spokesman for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals: "He (Amos) was probably the drunken duck I ever saw. He would stand up on the bar and quaff a foaming beaker and then go bouncing . . . into a ground loop, skid off the bar, and tailspin to the floor." Protested Owner, Green: "I'm training this little duck for a movie career. He's as smart as they come, but a little bit shy. So I take him along with me to let him mix and get used to folks."

Naturally strong with Irish voters, Nominee Lehman is an advantage in one-fourth of New York City where it sits. Republican Nominee Wilf. F. Bleakley, former state supreme court justice chosen last week by republicans meeting at many, is a Roman Catholic, is before also strong in the metropolis. Pennsylvania (36 votes). Two days after his Syracuse opener, Franklin Roosevelt made his second important political speech inburgh with Pennsylvania's governor, one-time Republican George H. Earle. Accustomed to ring off in his autogiro to speakistant parts of the state, Pennsylvania's Earle has boasted that he will speak three times in each Pennsylvania's 67 counties be-election day. Indinois (29 votes). Unwilling offend Chicago's potent Kelly-on machine, intent upon supplying Governor Henry Horner, Franklin Roosevelt did not urge Illinois governor of run for election. But New Dealererner built his campaign around support of the president, garnered enough down-state votes in thearies to lick the city machine, so pull Illinois into the New column. Nearly as popular in Illinois business men as MANILA, P. I.—Year ago last May Manila's torpid police suddenly woke up to the fact that a revolt was brewing. Before they could do anything, Manila's communications with the rest of the Luzon were cut off. Sixty people were killed before a radical group, the Sakdalistas, whose leader, Benigno Ramos, directed the uprising from his exile in Tokyo, was finally suppressed. Signs of discontent seemed recently to have ebbed, as proclamations signed by Leader Ramos cropped up in the islands: "News has reached me that another uprising is being planned. . . All that is a trap set by our enemies. . . No one should believe it. The Sakdalistus have no other duty than to be peaceful and await my return. . . I urge the temporary dissolution of the party. . . (The party) will be revived as soon as I return. . ." Commonwealth President Manuel Quezon lately released 30 Sakdalistas convicted for their part in the 1936 uprising, issued an executive order raising to $15 a month the minimum pay of government laborers. Last week the national assembly was considering minimum wage and maximum hour laws aggressively pressed by Philippine labor. they come, but a little bit shy. So I take him along with me to let him mix and get used to folks." THE CROWN— LONDON—As Prince of Wales, Britain's King Edward VIII met United States-born Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Aldrich Simpson, entertained them often. When Simpson's duties in his father's London firm (Simpson, Spence & Young, ship charterers) kept him too busy to accept the King's invitation, His Majesty entertained Mrs. Simpson, anyhow, came to prefer her company to that of his many other friends. Making no secret of this fact, His Majesty has frequently caused her name to be prominently mentioned in the Court Circular, which announces officially to press and public the activities of the Royal household. At Balmoral Castle in Scotland, fortnight ago, His Majesty entertained a bevy of titled guests, kept Mrs. Simpson by his side, exhibited for the first time the movies taken during his recent Mediterranean vacation cruise aboard the $1,350,000 yacht "Nahlin," which he chartered from Lady Yule. In foot after foot of these films were the King and Mrs. Simpson, side by side. Such scenes have been rigidly kept from the British newspaper-reading and news-reel-viewing public by a form of British self-censorship. Meanwhile Queen Mary, reported to have taken an attitude of "protest" against His Majesty's open friendship for his American companion, prepared to move from Buckingham Palace, where she has resided for 25 years, to Marlborough House which she had redecorated in 1928 with the expectation that the Prince of Wales would marry and settle surprising effect only to side talks" with which "Frank" Roosevelt kind wide acclaim in his weeks as president: "God has indeed beamed me, for he has given me dren... each one with and with characteristic from their brothers and ...

All the adult Indian children British Rajahs straight and moving talk. In the most vital post speech, Lord Linlithgow candidly the fact that constitution is so drawn personal exercise of it conferred upon him and general will largely whether it proves to be repressive, whether it greater harmony than by establishing an Indication, or rekindles the "civil disobedience" and ed insurrection. Urging dren to ignore the life who were attempting the first election under stitution to make it up the Marquess of Linlithgow "Trust me—I will trust.

Last week Lord Linlithgow's fund that each of these prizes so-called "Instrument." down therein. As she waited sadly for the ceremony marking her departure last week, the King and Mrs. Simpson merrily boarded a special salon railway car at Aberdeen, Scotland, and set out for London. Reaching London, Edward VIII breakfasted with Queen Mary and his sister, the Princess Royal. Then a crowd gathered outside saw the Queen, her palld face working with grief, leave the Palace on the arm of her son, as Blue-coated Bobbles saluted, scarlet-clad Palace sentries presented arms, women wept, men cheered in hoarse, choked voices. Reported last week to regard the friendship of his wife and the King as purely platonic, Simpson, Harvard graduate ('19) and one-time member of Britain's swank Coldstream Guards, was being mentioned in well-informed circles as likely to receive at King Edward's hands knighthood, a baronetcy, a peerage or one of the historic Court offices. SEERS— TRENTON — As the National Association of Fortune Tellers (membership: 110) last week convened in Trenton, N. J., to plan the profession's 1937 program, up rose President Helena A. ("Gypsy Lee") Perota of Manhattan to sound the keynote: "Fortune telling is not going to escape modernization. It will undergo a streamlining process ... It will have a regard for those who have practiced predicting in the past, read palms, stars, hand-writing, cards, head bumps and tea leaves.

Old Man Fog has spread his blanket over Southern California many nights the past two or three weeks. But one nice thing about it is that this impenetrable curtain is raised each morning, and moves off with the wind, or breeze, as we Californians prefer to call it. With the daily passing of this vision-blinder we march right into another, the curtain of which will not be raised until November 3. We wonder what signs we are to behold when that event transpires. But we will be pleased to know that many high-powered orators will be gone with the wind, and also with their wind. LOBSTER SEASON OPENS We wonder—lobster season is open now. The smaller ones. illegal to catch, taste better than the big ones, and are much more desirable. Yes, we wonder what significance the present lobster season has with the political campaign.

In a brisk one-day session, the convention voted to picket all tea rooms not employing association tea-leaf readers, to appeal to President Roosevelt to push repeal of state statutes outlawing fortune telling. Cried diminutive President Perota: "Legalizing fortune telling would eliminate the quacks... Clairvoyants could be licensed. They would first have to show they had ability." Prophesied the seers: Continued recovery, a "happy" United States until 1941, re-election of President Roosevelt. Diplomatically, President Perota hedged on this last prognostication: "But according to our psychometry reading, which is governed by our individual psychic powers... Landon will win if gets proper support." SUCCESSFUL VICEROY— NEW DELHI, India—No glittering snob of a Lord Curzon, no "friend" of Mahatma Gandhi like Lord Halifax, and above all no amateur student of India's problems is Victor Alexander John Hope, Marquess of Linlithgow, who last week was making good in one of the British Empire's greatest jobs, that of Viceroy and Governor General of India. Confronted with the difficult problem of installing and adjusting India's new constitution to its 350,000,000 souls—a constitution which no Briton dared hope would be put into effect until 1940—this 6-ft. 3-inch Scot began by making a radio broadcast comparable in its surprising effect only to the "fire-side talks" with which friendly "Frank" Roosevelt kindled nationwide acclaim in his first few weeks as president: "God has indeed been good to me, for he has given me five children... each one with a nature and with characteristics different from their brothers and sisters. I love them all most dearly, but... I have no favorite. I would have you know that I am LOBSTER SEASON OPENS We wonder—lobster season is open now. The smaller ones. illegal to catch, taste better than the big ones, and are much more desirable. Yes, we wonder what significance the present lobster season has with the political campaign. There are lots of big lobsters walking about the country, some of them backwards. They seem to want to catch the little ones, in spite of the fact that there are supposed to be laws to protect the little fellers. To get the most good out of a lobster they are boiled alive. Seems that many of them prefer to be stewed or pickled. We prefer the boiling, because it makes their faces so red. We would be afraid to eat some of the big ones unless there were a dependable antidote available. There are more little lobsters than big ones, which is the probable reason every one of the big ones is after them. Some of the big ones learn they can't handle the little ones so they throw them back. But the fact remains that the little ones still are the cream of the crop. It is hard for some to distinguish between little lobsters and crabs. MAKE IT BEER CAN SUNDAY Sunday is Orange county's Sunday of Safety. It would be nice if all the preachers in the county would deliver sermons on the evils of throwing beer cans out of automobiles, but such sermons probably wouldn't do much good to a church congregation, because they usually don't drink beer out of cans. To make better use of the day we would suggest the traffic cops spend the day cruising the highways, and when they spot a barrage of beer cans sailing out of an automobile, stop the car, invite the occupants out sion" in order for his state to enter the Indian Federation. To achieve this, the new Viceroy sent on tour as his personal emissaries three resolute political officers on special mission. Thus, with the provisional date for full coming into effect of the Indian Federation set forward from 1940 to take place within a period which the viceroy called "very short," most observers of Indian affairs thought the date would be 1938, credited the Marques of Linlithgow with having Los Angeles staged another of colossal spectacles. Running to form, the event was voted huge success because of the number of bathing beauties that I tered the various parade floats. Many a staid old lady who viewed the parade received a mild shock due to the scarcity of garments stuck here and there on the person of the bathing queens. A why shouldn't they have been shocked? That is the function electricity, as electric chain manufacturers will declare. The question arises—why are semi-naked young ladies used for decorating purposes in everything. It must be the Americans' tenacious eagerness to stick to age-old customs. Adam had one in his garden, and she didn't even have bathing suit, and he thereby gave birth to the tradition that Hollywood strongly supported the back-to-nature movement. The theme of the Boulder Dazzle spectacle was "Light on Parade but nobody looked at the light" STRAW VOTES The Literary Digest and a few other publications with nothing else to do are conducting street ballots to determine which way the wind is blowing. Oran county is coming into great "straw" prominence this fall that it has for many and many a year. But it is the bean "straw" that doing it. The bean harvest is declared the best, and the bean growers were fortunate in getting their crops grown, threshed sewed in sacks, and the straw dipped off at a profit without having to plow any of it under. No children, that wasn't San Claus you heard on the radio—was just a man who thinks Christmas comes on November 3.

I love them all most dearly, but... I have no favorite. I would have you know that I am incapable of preferring any one Indian community before another. ... Children, I speak to you as your King-Emperor's Viceroy and as your friend. ... All this struck the adult Indian children of the British Rajahs straight, sincere and moving talk. In the most vital portion of his speech, Lord Linlithgow faced candidly the fact that the new constitution is so drawn that his personal exercise of the powers conferred upon him as governor general will largely determine whether it proves to be liberal or repressive, whether it promotes greater harmony than ever before by establishing an Indian Federation, or rekindles the flames of "civil disobedience" and attempted insurrection. Urging his children to ignore the malcontents who were attempting to boycott the first election under the constitution to make it unworkable, the Marquess of Linlithgow said: "Trust me—I will trust you." In the Orient many a pecwee potentate styles himself "King of Kings," and under the viceroy of India, besides the 11 provinces of British India, there are 582 of these native Indian Princes who are looked upon by the subjects as kings. Last week it became Lord Linlithgow's function to see that each of these princes signs a so-called "Instrument of Access- It's a mistaken idea that, because IRIS stands for top quality, everyone can't afford it.
