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 KUCHEL FOR ASSEMBLY Let's look at this problem of filling the vacancy in our assembly district in a rational way. We believe that Thomas H. Kuchel is qualified to give this district honest, intelligent service and representation in the state legislature. What is this belief based upon? The honesty comes from the belief that his family gave of its best, since 1860, in the interests of a better Anaheim, and a better county. The remainder comes from the fact that Kuchel is a young man, a lawyer, with ideals and character that are unsmirched. His interests if elected, would be to cleanse and to improve our state machine. His views are liberal, in the sense that true liberalism has been defined: "A liberal is a fundamentalist who declines to be static." If elected, he would vote for constitutional legislation to aid in the development of the state. Being a Californian of the second generation, and an American above all, he would vigorously oppose radical, un-American legislation which of late years has found its way into the bin at Sacramento. And, desiring to fashion his life in an unselfish pattern, he would be diligent in the interests of the kind of people from which he himself has descended; just plain pioneer CAMPAIGN PROGRESS CHICAGO — Each home bound after a 10-day tour of midwest, the republican andocratic campaign trains last roared by each other outside Grand Rapids, Mich. From rear platform of the Landon someone threw a handful of objects. They clattered on rear platform of the Rooftrain. A secret service snatched at one, scrutinized it piciously, found it to be a La campaign button. Aboard Nominee Roosevelt was his gay entourage of fident political advisers, content secretaries, pretty young women—all following their didate's merry pace. Aboard other were Nominee Landgrim, dour, money-troubled worrying over campaign gone askew, while only Cane Landon remained buoyantly fident. One reason for this difference in spirit was the different reach each of the touring parties from the crowds along the At Chicago Nominee Landgrim mirer's were shooed home downpour, while five days balmy weather favored Noroosevelt. At Detroit a 43-degree temperature chilled Landon bers, while two days later the monometer rose to 70 degrees Nominee Roosevelt. But Latures could not blame nature everything. In few places were the go If elected, he would vote for constitutional legislation to aid in the development of the state. Being a Californian of the second generation, and an American above all, he would vigorously oppose radical, un-American legislation which of late years has found its way into the bin at Sacramento. And, desiring to fashion his life in an unselfish pattern, he would be diligent in the interests of the kind of people from which he himself has descended; just plain pioneer Americans. That is why we ask the voter of all types of national political persuasion, to send him to the legislature. Thomas Kuchel will represent, to the best of his ability, all the people of the district, for the best welfare of all the state. McFADDEN FOR SENATOR Thomas L. McFadden is the logical man, we believe, to represent Orange county in the State Senate. McFadden's record of service in public and civic affairs is well known. He has been one of the active and useful men of the county for many years and he understands the problem of his friends and neighbors, the people of Orange county. Protect the BEACHES!

ANAHEIM DEPOT — 217 S. Los Angeles St. PHONE 3404 — R. B. HARRINGTON, Agent The MARCH OF TIME Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Nowsmagazine CAMPAIGN PROGRESS CHICAGO — Each homeward and after a 10-day tour of the west, the republican and demilitarized campaign trains last week led by each other outside of and Rapids, Mich. From the platform of the Landon train, some threw a handful of small acts. They clattered on the platform of the Roosevelt a. A secret service man chased at one, srutinized it suspiciously, found it to be a Landon campaign button. Board Nominee Roosevelt's was his gay entourage of contempt political advisers, competes secretaries, pretty young men—all following their canoe's merry pace. Aboard the were Nominee Landon's, dour, money-troubled aides lying over campaign details askew, while only Candidate Don remained buoyantly contorting. The reason for this difference spirit was the different reaction of the touring parties got the crowds along the way. Chicago Nominee Landon's adorals were shooed home by a apour, while five days later by weather favored Nominee Roosevelt. At Detroit a 43-degree temperature chilled Landon boost-while two days later the theretoer rose to 70 degrees for since Roosevelt. But Landon could not blame nature for anything. Few places were the governessed: "He could recite the Polish alphabet and it would be accepted as an eloquent plea for disarmament." Yet, the president did make slips. At St. Louis he named the wrong spot as the beginning of the Old Oregon Trail; at Bloomington, Ill., he said: "My friends, I am glad to be in Bloomingburg," But with some humorous remark, or some folksy reference to local conditions, the president opened each of his little wayside chats, linking himself with his hearers by saying "You know and I know..." Best at small gatherings, Alf Landon too often failed to stir a crowd to the enthusiasm it was ready to give, but always got response when he discarded troublesome notes to say: "I guess you folks are down here to look me over. That goes both ways. I'm glad to look you over, too." Then grinning, he leaned down to double-handshake all comers. Impressive though they are in print and picture, crowds do not fool seasoned political observers who well know that any local boss can organize a heart-warming crowd—especially when the visiting candidate happens to be president of the United States. And observers also know that, as with Alfred E. Smith in 1928, October crowds do not necessarily ripen into November votes. MR. LANDON—TOPEKA—Bashful in politics, er gave his blood. As she was lying very ill and he near-by, she said: 'Oh, I'll do anything for you.' "'All right,' the brother replied, 'Vote for Landon. You've got republican blood in you now'." TEAMS— NEW YORK—Last week the teams of famed names were lining up for the big game on Nov. 3. New York's republican-fusion Mayor Fiorallo H. LaGuardia announced himself for Franklin Roosevelt "without reserve." Secretary of Agriculture Wallace's Uncle Dan, a Minnesota farm paper editor filled with "doubt and fear" by New Deal agricultural policies, came out for Alf Landon. To offset the republicans' Cornelia Otis Skinner, Geraldine Farrar and Ginger Rogers, democrats had Helen Hayes, Lillian Gish, Grace Moore, Sally Rand. George Ade and Booth Tarkington were signed for Landon, George Jean Nathan and Theodore Dreiser for Roosevelt. Ready to cancel John Coolidge's vote for Landon was Roosevelt supporter Chester A. Arthur III. Other republican first-stringers were Thomas ("The Clansman") Dixon, Clarence Buddington Kelland, Amos Alonzo Stagg, Branch Rickey, Alice Marble. Other democrats were Virginia C. Gildersleeve, Mary Woolley, Will Durant, Robert Taylor, George Raft, George Jessel, George Gershwin, George M. Cohan, Lee Shubert, Eddy Duchin, W. C. Fields, Beatrice Lillie, Joe E. Brown.

Ex-President Hoover income-tax payer or an institution kept books like this institution, that is, if the similar morals in jug accounts, they would jail.

No affecting the size and spirthe crowds that turned out one rivals were their respeoratorical abilities. Measurimproved since his July acence speech, Alf Landon still not match Franklin Roosevelt. MR. LANDON— TOPEKA—Bashful in politics, Mrs. Alf Landon has made not one campaign trip with her nominee-husband, not one campaign speech. Not to let the 1936 campamign pass into history without a single word from her, however, bashful Mrs. Landon last week attended a meeting in Topeka of the Independent Coalition of American Women, told a story: "Recently I had a letter from a friend in Chicago who said all members of the family were enthusiastic for the cause save one sister, who was for Roosevelt. "That sister had an operation and it became necessary to give her a blood transfusion. A broth-velt, over whom Republican Columnist Mark Sullivan last week ARITHMETIC— NEW YORK—Four years ago whenever Herbert Hoover went home to the White House, the silk hat on his head covered a multitude of political worries. At the same time, whenever Braintruster Raymond Moley tramped up the terrace steps at Hyde Park, N.Y., the crushed fedora on his wrinkled brow covered manifold plans for Herbert Hoover's downfall. Little did either of them then dream that in 1936 they would find themselves brothers under their hats. Yet last week Herbert Hoover, no longer president, spoke his mind in Philadelphia, and in Manhattan Raymond Moley, no longer a braintruster, put his mind into print in the magazine, "Today." To their mutual Today's Kitchen is All-Electric. If you own an Electric Refrigerator, you've already taken the FIRST STEP THE Second AND MOST IMPORTANT Step IS YOUR NEW AND MOST IMPORTANT Step IS YOUR NEW ELECTRIC RANGE The greatest single improvement you can make in your home.

Thousands of steps saved every day... hours of extra time to do with as you will... the satisfaction of super-delicious meals to tempt the appetites of your family. Your electric range will give you all these things and more. Yet, rather than an expense, it offers you a very definite economy. You not only save time and food, but you automatically get a special low electric rate which reduces the average cost of all electricity used in the home. So why not discard your outworn, inefficient equipment for time-saving, food-saving, money-saving electric cookery? The new range models are now being displayed by your electric dealer.

Their conclusions: Editor Moley: "No corporate income-tax payer could long keep out of trouble with the treasury if he persisted in using similar methods." Ex-President Hoover: "If an income-taxpayer or any corporation kept books like this administration, that is, if they showed similar morals in juggling their accounts, they would be put in jail. THOUGHT CONTROL— TOKYO — Among some 60,000 Japanese arrested since 1928 on the charge of "thinking dangerous thoughts" have been sons and daughters of Japan's highest aristocracy, caught in the draget of police raids on radical gatherings. For this reason the Imperial government, acting upon a bill passed by the diet (congress), is this week establishing in leading Japanese cities 22 Thought Control offices, with 15 substations in other cities. In these, several hundred instructors will gravely impart to Japanese subjects in batches just what they are and are not to think. No new idea, Japan's current thought control program is but a re-introduction of such measures as were taken in 1640 when the state issued an edict minutely instructing peasants upon such points as the imperative necessity of divorcing a gadabout wife. The AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Asks you to Vote YES #10 SAVE THE GAS TAX FOR STREETS AND HIGHWAYS Stripped of its "WHISKERS" PROPOSITION #22 IS A TAX ON YOU! You must defeat it or pay it – in HIGHER PRICES ON FOOD AND OTHER NECESSITIES There is a "joker" in Proposition 22 on your November ballot! Called a "Retail Store License," it looks innocent enough. But stripped of its disguise, it is a Tax that will have to be passed on to you in higher prices. It provides that chain stores selling food and other necessities will be taxed $500.00 a year for each store over nine necessary in-between expenses. The savings they make by operating efficiently are passed on to you in prices 10% below the average. Four out of five chain stores do not make enough profit to cover the tax. Thus some of them will be forced out of business—allowing their competitors to raise prices. OTHER NECESSITIES There is a "joker" in Proposition 22 on your November ballot! Called a "Retail Store License," it looks innocent enough. But stripped of its disguise, it is a Tax that will have to be passed on to you in higher prices. It provides that chain stores selling food and other necessities will be taxed $500.00 a year for each store over nine. Individual stores will pay only $1.00 a year—or one five-hundredth as much. BUT... ...says the U.S. Federal Trade Commission: "If the ability to undersell, based on greater efficiency or on elimination of credit and delivery cost, is destroyed by taxation, it is the consuming public which will really pay the tax and not the chain." BECAUSE... ...as the Harvard (University) Bureau of Business Research discovered in studying 32,998 chain stores...chain stores operate on a small profit. They eliminate middleman's profits and unnecessary in-between expenses. The savings they make by operating efficiently are passed on to you in prices 10% below the average. Four out of five chain stores do not make enough profit to cover the tax. Thus some of them will be forced out of business—allowing their competitors to raise prices. Surviving chains will be forced to raise their prices to pay the tax. Either way, you will foot the bill. Remember, this tax is admittedly not for revenue purposes. It is cleverly camouflaged subsidy for the middleman and wasteful business methods—at your expense. If you think that chain store competition helps to keep all prices in line with your pocketbook—if you think that you already PAY ENOUGH TAXES ON FOODS AND OTHER NECESSITIES, vote NO and keep prices low. For no matter how named...no matter how heavily disguised...22 is a tax on you...VOTE NO! 22 IS A TAX ON YOU—VOTE NO!
