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 FROM PINS TO LOCOMOTIVES— The railroads are truly a bulwark of our national economy, to keep them sound is a matter of paramount concern to all of us. Nearly a quarter of the nation's output of bituminous coal is absorbed by the railroads. They buy 20 per cent of all our fuel oil. They absorb 17 per cent of all our iron and steel. And this but scratches the surface of their purchasing, which touches practically all industry. Railway budgets embrace tens of thousands of separate commodities, ranging in importance from pins and lead pencils to locomotives and bridges. Yet the railroads are put, by law, in a highly unfavorable competitive position. They are more rigidly regulated than any other industry—regulation which extends to every phase of operation, and in some cases makes management merely the voice of government officials. Their competitors are partially regulated, or not regulated at all. The railroads must pay out seven cents in taxes for every dollar they receive, while, according to the counsel for the Association of American Railroads, R. V. Fletcher, their competitors on highways pay 3 cents, and their competitors on the waterways next to nothing. To correct this inequality seems only simple justice. In addition, it is sound economic and social policy—certainly an industry which contributes so much to employment and the national purchasing power, deserves no penalizing. If only the railroads were concerned, the matter would be relatively unimportant—but every American citizen and community has a stake in their welfare, and is vitally concerned in policies which effect their operation, their prosperity, and their expansion.

LEMON ST., ANAHEIM New Units Speed Law Enforcement Law enforcement work demands cars that are only, yet economical and efficient. The Ford V-8 is being these requirements for the Los Angeles Police Department. Recently 31 new V-8 sedans were added, bringing the total Ford V-8's in Los Angeles city police force well in excess of 200 units. Included in this story were Ford V-8 85 horsepower units for traffic enforcement and a number of Ford V-8 60 horsepower units for detail and investigation work. Chief Police James E. Davis, right, and Captain Fred A. Nothorn are pictured here as they inspect the new horsepower engine size in a 1937 Ford V-8. Maxi-economy and V-8 performance of durability, and pickup were among the principal factors in police department's choice of the thrifty "60" for detailed detail and investigation work. The FARMERS CORNER by RALPH H-TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California In the movement for a one-man legislature in California impetus, or lose ground, as part of the partisan bickering frequent deadlocks between two legislative houses during 1937 session? To insure its defeat, although such a campaign would undoubtedly precipitate one of the hottest political battles in many years. In rural counties, the expression has been commonly heard—although the most progressive and liberal upper house in many years—was more responsive to farmers and other producing groups, which create the state's wealth and share the heaviest part of the burden of making the wheels go 'round. With a majority of its members from rural districts, where familiarity with natural laws has a tendency to temper Utopian theories, the senate likewise shied away from many of the "left turns" which appealed to urban assemblymen. If it demonstrated nothing else, the 1937 legislature did serve toPolitical strategists have out a way by which they claim a victory in the court fight, even though actually is defeated. It makes no difference senate and house do what time comes. They will recent supreme court upholding the Wagner Frazier-Lemke law, wage control and the say: “If there had not been posal to increase the six court, those decisions never have been handed down; it was never really intended six justices should be the supreme court. All ed was a club to hold court.” And to a lot of folks know the facts, that history will sound very pivotal with a new plan care of its hungry. The Das Schwarzekorps is the publication of the story.

Nazi steel workers, Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California the movement for a one-house legislature in California impetus, or lose ground, as result of the partisan bickering frequent deadlocks between two legislative houses during 1937 session? The question is exceedingly present at this time, as reports current that an effort will be submitted to submit an initiative act California voters at the next general election, designed to establish a one-house legislature. First glance, the fact that a move is contemplated seem to indicate that the general system is gaining new sort and has made definite way. On the other hand, it develops that most of the support for the scheme comes from leftist groups which were successful in jamming through real and experimental legislation proposals during the session drawing to a close. The other side of the picture is trends during the 1937 session revealed the inherent weakness in a one-house legislative plan for a state such as California, where the single house be dominated and conduced by two or three large citizens with rural and agricultural denied effective representation. And although the unicamerican doubtless gained new resumes from city malcontents, option to the plan from taxpaying groups, farmers and rural disaffected and legislative exponentation, would be sufficient to insure its defeat, although such a campaign would undoubtedly precipitate one of the hottest political battles in many years. In rural counties, the expression has been commonly heard during recent months, "Thank God for the senate!" Such exclamations followed defeat in the Senate of millions of dollars worth of special appropriations of the "pork barrel" variety, rejection of one-sided labor programs and many legislative proposals which were more visionary than practical. Yet it is unfair to condemn all assemblymen as either spendthrifts or radicals. Some of agriculture's finest champions were in the assembly, but the fact remains that on many issues the city-controlled assembly swept like a steamroller over the wishes and desires of the minority members from rural districts. Indicating the vital need of two legislative houses, with one responsive and sympathetic to the problems of the producing areas, the assembly (dominantly urban in its membership) evidenced the following unmistakable tendencies: First, unquestioning approval of anything which carried the approval of organized labor, regardless of cost, need, fairness or workability. Second, a lavish hand in providing for the unfortunate, the unemployed and indigent, without regard to that other "forgotten man"—the fellow who pays the bills. Third, a disposition to cut city tax bills at the expense of rural areas. Repeal or reduction of the sales tax, for example, would have shunted a heavier burden onto the farmer and other common property taxpayers.

Los Angeles St. WASHINGTON SNAPSHOTS Political strategists have figured out a way by which they can claim a victory in the supreme court fight, even though the bill actually is defeated. It makes no difference what the senate and house do when voting time comes. They will point to recent supreme court decisions upholding the Wagner act, the Frazier-Lemke law, minimum wage control and the like and say: "If there had not been a proposal to increase the size of the court, those decisions never would have been handed down. In fact, it was never really intended that six justices should be added to the supreme court. All we wanted was a club to hold over the court." And to a lot of folks who don't know the facts, that little fairy story will sound very plausible. Nazi Germany now comes forward with a new plan for taking care of its hungry. The weekly Das Schwarzekorps is the official publication of the storm troops. The latest issues, the United Press reports from Berlin, quotes at length an article written by a Nazi professor. The professor urges that Germans chew their food longer and thus aid the Nazi four-year plan of self sufficiency. Thorough mastication avoids needless waste and payment of necessary expenses to foreign countries, he says. An interesting parallel to this chew-more-eat-less theory is supplied by the American Iron and Steel institute in its last worldwide survey. It reports that American steel workers must work only one and one-half hours to earn enough money to buy a dozen eggs, a pound of bacon, a loaf of bread, a bottle of milk, and several other items. Nazi steel workers, however, would have to put in seven hours of work. American steel workers, for instance would have to work less than four minutes for a pound of sugar. A Nazi would have to work thirty minutes. Some folks still wonder why the demand for responsibility by labor unions. While William Green and John L. Lewis were calling one another "liar" and "traitor" a group of legislators made a survey and found one thing the A.F. of L.-C. I. O. rivalry had caused. The C. I. O., trying to convince workers that it was the most effective labor organization, already has permitted 57 sit-down strikes in General Motors plants since the signing of the "agreement" which was supposed to prevent strikes. Barracuda Running Off Hermosa Pier Two hundred barracuda were hooked in one day from the huge Olympic fishing barge, anchored off Hermosa Beach, reports Capt. J. M. Andersen, skipper of the big ship. Record individual haul was brought in by George P. Hunt, a tourist from North Carolina, with 11 fish, the biggest weighing 12 pounds. It was Hunt's first try at deep-sea angling on the Pacific coast. The Olympic's new anchorage on the bass banks north of the Hermosa pier, is proving to be a great spot. Bottom fish are taken daily, chiefly halibut, sandbars, sculpin and bass, being hooked. Mackerel continue to be as plentiful as ever.
