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 HIGHWAYS OF TOMORROW Compared to the roads of a generation ago, modern highways are marvels of excellence. Yet, in spite of this phenomenal development, today's system is woefully inadequate, as Frank T. Sheets points out in an article in Public Safety. "Progressive strides have been taken and must continue to be taken in driver education and in providing safety regulation for vehicles," says Mr. Sheets, "but the ultimate in traffic convenience and safety will not be reached until we actually provide adequate highways and build safety into them." Today's engineers have designed tomorrow's highways. These magnificent roads will include terminal facilities in cities whereby traffic will move to various points with a minimum of congestion; main super highways of many lanes, with divisions in the center to prevent head-on collisions, will carry cross-country traffic, avoiding congested areas enroute; intermediate highways will serve local traffic needs; even the lowest grade, little-used roads will be given some cheap form of all-weather surface; arterial urban streets will carry into and through cities and towns that part of rural main trunk traffic which has business in the metropolitan area. This seems a far off ideal, but not long ago the automobile, the radio, the airplane, the telephone seemed so, too. The cost of developing highways and streets of maximum safety on a national scale, will be tremendous—but it will be spent over a long period of time and no form of expenditure by intermediate highways will serve local traffic needs; even the lowest grade, little-used roads will be given some cheap form of all-weather surface; arterial urban streets will carry into and through cities and towns that part of rural main trunk traffic which has business in the metropolitan area. This seems a far off ideal, but not long ago the automobile, the radio, the airplane, the telephone seemed so, too. The cost of developing highways and streets of maximum safety on a national scale, will be tremendous—but it will be spent over a long period of time and no form of expenditure by government can better serve the people. Better highways are not a cure-all for the accident problem—but when we develop our roads to the point where the chance of accidents is reduced to a minimum, a long step toward lowering our ghastly annual toll of deaths will be taken. THE CLASS IDEA "As good citizens, we should insist that the public interest is paramount to the special claims of either employer or employee. We should oppose all attempts to promote the so-called class conflict in American life. The class idea is a foreign importation, and its cultivation here would destroy the very basis of our freedom." —W. C. Mullendore, Director, U. S. Chamber of Commerce.

Phone 3519 THE PROGRESSIVE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD THE TRAP WASHINGTON SNAPSHOTS Official Washington has a new worry now: "Will an era of 'profitless prosperity' drive the nation into a new depression?" Many people have wondered why the recent business recession has occurred when things seemed to be going so nicely during the first six months of this year. Some blamed wars or taxes or strikes or unbalanced budgets. But new studies just published by the department of commerce appear to throw fresh light on the subject. In brief, the facts show the nation progressed splendidly last year in its climb from the depression. National income produced, which means the net value of commodities produced and services rendered, reached nearly sixty-four billion dollars. It is estimated that they will top seventy billion dollars this year. Those figures compare with a depression bottom of less than forty billions. The catch, as economists see it, is this: Nobody works for nothing; to some the return for labor is a wage or salary, and to others it is a profit on a money investment. The wage earner's excess above necessary living costs is his "profit"; the factory's excess above production costs is its "profit." And just as rising living wage costs eat into wage earners' "profits" so do increasing productions costs cut into factory "profits" which keep a business in business. The commerce department's figures offer interesting comparisons between agriculture and manufacturing. Agriculture last year produced commodities and services worth six billion dollars or 9.4 per cent labor costs, is being kept consumer resistance. Washington is worried to find an answer, but so far. One of the dangers downward lies in the de-manufacturing reserves, straining national public spending. During the past depression try was able to dump over five billion dollars into maintenance operations and plant. The tax on higher production costs vented the recouping of pluses for another rainy season.

Witness our Hands by RALPH H.TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California you step off the elevator at the top floors of a skyscraper office building some day to hear chickens cackling and birds crowing — with hand loaded with crates of new eggs being trundled about in bookkeeping machines record the day's production—try to calm. It may not be that us break-down you've feared all. It may be true! The latest contribution to sym-agriculture—synthetic, at as "a dirt farmer" would fit—is the chicken factory. Keeping the climax, thus far, in business of turning the hen city bird, without the benevolence of rural life or even a place match, 35,000 good layers are working a 13-hour day in a factory metropolitan loft build on an eastern city, according to September issue of Forbes' magazine. And tens of thousands of herders, both broilers and farmers, it is disclosed by Philip Smith, in his article entitled, Factory-Systems Takes Hold on Hen!" California poultrymen, who earned an enviable reputation as efficient producers, are not interested to make sudden shifts to the farm to city office buildings—a result of the new development, but the innovation is said attracting business men with going for agricultural pursuits, who like to do their farming city atmosphere. Operator of the factory poultry man is Milton H. Arndt, an II-farm boy who made good in city—after ups and downs and years of experimental work whose main business now is raising cages for office-building-en factories started by his husbands. On less than an acre around, near Trenton, New Jersey, Arndt houses his factory—for facturing the equipment for factories—and 16,000 hens, however, he has a 90-acre where he breeds pedigrees, specially suited for cage is fed a definite amount of raw material from which she produces a known unit output. On each cage there's a card, recording her production. And when she falls below par, she's head for fricassee. Factory chicken production had been tried before and had failed, Arndt recounts, due to the fact that each hen had to have a promenade to get her quota of sunshine. He overcame this problem by putting cod-liver oil in the mash. Day-old chicks begin their life in starting batteries—cages holding about 100; later, they are transferred to growing batteries—larger cages with fewer birds; then they progress to developing batteries where the cockrels are made ready for market and pullets are built up to lay. Finally, each hen enters a laying battery. Each hen must produce a minimum of 108 eggs per year to pay overhead in the poultry factory, according to Arndt. To escape fricassee, she must produce from 32 to 117 more eggs each year for "profit." Heating and ventilating make all seasons the same; electric lighting is used so the hens can work 13 hours a day. Feed costs are carefully tabulated; a hen can eat all she wants, but patented devices prevent waste. Usually, it requires 18 pounds of feed to get to laying age; six pounds per month to keep her producing. The cages have rubber-latex-coated wire to make for comfortable footing—are entirely devoid of soil to keep them disease free; eggs roll forward, ready for collection, when laid; droppings are carried away on belts. And one workman can care for 3000 hens in full production! Radio programs are used to increase the hen's satisfaction with life in a cage—organ music preferred—and Arndt is now trying to breed new type chicks free of combs; wattles, tail-feathers and wings., as he says they are unnecessary appendages for the streamlined, factory hen. Chief advantage of the chicken factory, according to Arndt, is its appeal to The commerce department's figures offer interesting comparisons between agriculture and manufacturing. Agriculture last year produced commodities and services worth six billion dollars, or 9.4 per cent of the nation's income. It paid out four billions. Its excess of income produced over income paid out was nearly 32 per cent. Manufacturing, while producing fourteen and a half billion dollars worth of goods and services, or 23 per cent of the total national income, had to pay out fourteen and a quarter billions. Hence, the manufacturing industry's excess of income increased over income paid out was far under 3 per cent, compared with agriculture's 32 per cent. One potent reason, of course, was higher prices paid for raw materials; another higher taxes; another increasing labor costs; for labor last year got 66.5 per cent of the national income—a bigger proportion than ever before in history. But the public, accustomed by the depression to paying low prices, just doesn't like to pay prices necessary to meet higher production costs. So the margin of profits, already slashed by taxes and $1,000,000, according to Forbes' Magazine, and there are now chicken factories in 46 countries. Petaluma, however, seems undisturbed. Like "bathtub farming"—the chemical gardens fashioned in the test tubes of science—chicken factories still have a long way to go before they will rival the industrious California poultryman. PROF. K.

Washington is worried and trying to find an answer, but it hasn't so far. One of the dangers of a swing downward lies in the depletion of manufacturing reserves and the straining national public debt. During the past depression industry was able to dump over twenty-five billion dollars into efforts to maintain operations and employment. The tax on reserves and higher production costs have prevented the recouping of these surpluses for another rainy day.
