KUCHEL Editors and Publishers Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. SMALL MERCHANTS BENEFITTED Last week's state supreme court decision upholding the validity of the state Unfair Practice Act should prove to be of inestimable value to the small merchant, and the local merchant. The state legislature is to be commended for passing the law; and now, with its validity upheld by our highest state court, so called "big business" will not be allowed, by unfair practice, to compete unfairly with little business. The act, in seeking to eradicate unfair trade practices, prohibits such of them as "loss leaders," price discrimination in different localities, and selling below cost, or replacement cost (whichever is lower) plus the cost of doing business as defined in the Act. Some opposition to legislation of this type has come from those who maintain that it is merely one additional encroachment of government into the field of business. The Supreme Court observes that "absolute prohibition of the practices mentioned above might well be unreasonable—and, therefore, void. The distinction between reasonable prohibition, on the one hand, and unreasonable prohibition on the other lies in the intend with which any of the acts prohibited take place. There must be an intent to injure competitors if that is present, sale of "loss leaders", and the like, is prohibited, and illegal. All should agree that the intent to injure competitors Some opposition to legislation of this type has come from those who maintain that it is merely one additional encroachment of government into the field of business. The Supreme Court observes that "absolute prohibition of the practices mentioned above might well be unreasonable—and, therefore, void.

All should agree that the intent to injure competitors is unfair, unjust, and morally wrong; and with the decision of the courts, it is legally wrong as well. WHY OWN A HOUSE? Why own a house? Why get involved in all the bother of repair bills and furnace trouble, leaky pipes and borrowing neighbors? Is a house more trouble than it's worth? We put the question to every fellow townsman we met the other day, and this is what we learned: A man finds security in owning his own house; something to fall back on in times of stress. He develops a heightening of interest in civic affairs, and feels the glowing warmth of community spirit. In one's own house, habits of thrift and dependability are fostered; there cultural pursuits, study or genial friendships grow and prosper. To own his house gives a man financial standing, a basis of credit, an assurance of stability. But most of all a house makes a "home" possible; it turns a group of people into a family, gives a man's children the feeling of fundamental family unity, and ties closer the bonds of love and affection. Yes, there are lots of reasons for owning one's own house. And they're all good reasons. Perhaps that's why so many fine, stable American families these days are going in for the luxury. Six Hindu suitors for the same girl were compelled to try their skill at archery by shooting a string suspending a lemon in the aid. One of the boys cut the string and won the girl. Wonder what the bride's father meant by using a lemon in this test? Soviet school authorities are training 10,000 reds now to campaign against religion. And yet some soft-headed American preachers seem to have a liking for the Moscow brand of politics. MANY ARE THE PALMS THAT ARE LITCHING TODAY The court house swarms persons who want jobs but candidates, some of them clinging to be able to deliver that group of votes. With our sorts of relief and per groups organized everywhere has become a new element politics. Many of the boys who go after itching palm extended content with a few dollars "line money." One old limerin marks that this is a stock price of many years standing, and moocher who asks for it can marked down as having had experience. Some of the hold-ups take form of advertising solicitation. An unusual number of new shoppers sprung up, all expecting to be supported by candidates they cannot refuse — the prompt think. Some of them do, there are enough who are able to offend to keep the racketing for a little while. The question of how far a group of voters can be delivered even by the best leaders is question. The fact is that with number of candidates dependent on the support of johnny-cool latiles of all kinds there are no contest which may hinge on question of how far these blades of votes can be herded. General opinion among experienced campaigners is that really is little hearing done. Groups themselves frequently split by internal dissensions, one or more leaders in each sitting for the upper hand. Sometimes the support of one faction means the deadly opposition another. One result of it all will be more careful study and analysis of the vote returns, after the election is over. A good many clusions will be reached. So of them many be accurate. Soviet school authorities are training 10,000 reds now to campaign against religion. And yet some soft-headed American preachers seem to have a liking for the Moscow brand of politics.

The time limit for this had passed and the old action was dead anyway. The same procedure undoubtedly will be followed in the new case, unless the legal expert has something up his sleeve we know not of. The majority opinion so far as expressed is that the cost will never amount to anything. Its political aspects cannot be ignored, but the bulk of opinion is that it is all grist to the sheriff's wheel. NOTES The ordinance creating the position of county coordinator of juvenile delinquency work was one written by Judge Ames. Nothing new has been heard about it. News about the welfare department has been notably absent of late. If there is anything new brewing it has failed to come to surface. Elmer Guy has made the most intensive campaign by the door-to-door method that ever has been undertaken in Orange county. He has had lots of experiences. Among them are one with a goat and one with a dog. In the goat case it was all butt, with the result a surprised expression on the face of the goat when he found he had met too much man. Lots of campaign literature says "elect me." The wiser political heads declare it is not good psychology to give orders to the voters, and that the better way is to ask 'em. Fellow showed up on the street in Santa Ana with a slogan on the back of his car saying "better streets for Delhi." And below it another sign saying, "elect Earl Abbey coroner." The street commissioner should campaign under the slogan "fewer dead ones." WASHINGTON By JAMES PRESIDENT Business took this spin, but it's the governors in Washington groggy. They got that the business machine stopped falling and stalled zoom. The economists had no leveling off and straight-a while. Instead, even going up. And the economy confounded because they before the new pump-penditures had even had to begin. One leading riser is a store sales. People don't cause they think the gov't is going to spend more buy because they've got the pocket. So, in addition to being the economists are flat. Their only explanation is business machine on its er-righted itself. The praying that the primate blow the machine apart of the climb. Most practitioners agree that punishment has not been the stimulus nomic rises in recent years. English nation has recovery while firmly re-pump-priming theory. Although some people seem to realize it, the city is being amended and rights modified under noses. The basic rights include freedom of speech, free thought, freedom of the rights to own property have counsel for defensible places were open.

With variports of relief and pension organized everywhere this become a new element in cases. Many of the boys who go about witching palm extended are ment with a few dollars "gasomoney." One old timer reresents that this is a stock phase of many years standing, and the other, who asks for it can be bed down as having had past evidence. One of the hold-ups take the off of advertising "solicitation." A unusual number of new sheets sprung up, all expecting to supported by candidates who not refuse—the promoters. Some of them do, but are enough who are afraid to keep the racket gofor a little while. The question of how far any of voters can be delivered, by the best leaders, is a concern. The fact is that with a number of candidates depending on support of johnny-cameof all kinds there are some candidates which may hinge on the concept of how far these blocks of voters can be herded. General opinion among expericampaigners is that there is little hearing done. The themselves frequently are busy internal dissensions, with more leaders in each striver or the upper hand. Somethe support of one faction is the deadly opposition of others. The result of it all will be a careful study and analysis of vote returns, after the elecsion over. A good many concussions will be reached. Some many be accurate and about the lawsuit ante on Sheriff Logan Jackson having been raised from $75,000 to $100,000. Many an emotion was mixed, both on the part of Jackson followers and his opponents, while those who love or hate the supervisors expended a few additional feelings. The doings was all that of the lawyer from San Diego brought in at the behest of Supervisor West. District Attorney Menton hurried out a statement declaring he had nothing to do with it and had withdrawn from the move­ment until the board came back to earth and went about the matter in a safe and sane manner. General opinion was that the D. A had done the only thing he could do, and he probably will make friends by it. The new action appears to be exactly the same as the previous one, which already had been thrown out of the district court of appeals. Jackson's lawyer had filed a demurrer and demand for fellow showed up on the street in Santa Ana with a slogan on the back of his car saying, "better streets for Delhi." And below it another sign saying, "elect Earl Abbey coroner." The street commissioner should campaign under the slogan "fewer dead ones." Gambling places were operating openly at Balboa until last Friday. They were warned to close—and did. The wise boys have not figured out who it benefits politically. Phil Stanton, prominent in county and state affairs for many years, has given up his country home and is to move to Seal Beach. He has held many offices, and at present is state highway commissioner. If you want to get "no" for an answer ask any federal office holder in Orange county whether he knows anything about the shake-down for McAdoo's political campaign fund. Mum is the word, spelled in capital letters. Ham Cotton, democratic boss in Orange county under the new deal, has been conscientious by his absence in the present campaign. The final proof of a good citizenship is to vote for a man you don't like when his opponent isn't fit for the job.

They got that way when the business machine suddenly stopped falling and started its upward zoom. The economists had expected a leveling off and straight flying for a while. Instead, everything is going up. And the economists are confounded because the rise came before the new pump-priming expenditures had even had a chance to begin. One leading riser is department store sales. People don't buy because they think the government is going to spend money. They buy because they've got cash in the pocket. So, in addition to being groggy, the economists are flabbergasted. Their only explanation is that the business machine on its own power righted itself. They are now praying that the priming doesn't blow the machine apart at the top of the climb. Most practical economists agree that pump-priming has not been the stimulator of economic rises in recent years and the English nation has had its recovery while firmly rejecting the pump-priming theory. Although some people don't seem to realize it, the constitution is being amended and the bill of rights modified under the very noses. The basic rights involved are freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of the press, and the rights to own property, to have counsel for defense, and to amender. It or its agents have assailed Henry Ford for expressing his personal views about labor organizations and organizers; declared that a speech by a congressman cannot be distributed to workers in factories; disbarred a lawyer who declined to be told when to sit and when to stand; condoned sit-down strikes; deprived the owner of private streets of the right to keep some people off them; removed a trial examiner who made the mistake of reading some newspaper editorials; criticized a group of men for working for the election of public officials. The labor board prides itself on its "liberalism." It is so liberal with constitutional rights that it modifies them by ruling, holding that some folks can neither say nor read nor think what they wish just because they happen to be involved in a proceeding before the board. Some observers in Washington wonder whether the labor board has ever read that remark by one of the world's greatest liberals, Voltaire, who said: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." And to cap the climax, the A.F. of L. has now charged the labor board is biased and has hinted it may ignore the board's rulings. Only one-third of the primary balloting is over, but the election juggernaut already is taking an unusually high toll. The names of 23 present members of the national house of representatives, more than five per cent, will not even appear on the November election ballots. Three senators have been eliminated so far. If that trend continues, the turnover even before the November voting will be nearly 16 per cent, abnormally high. Was it wishful thinking or sarcasm when five officers of the United Automobile Workers union on trial for alleged communistic activities greeted their president with a "Heil Hitler!" and a Nazi Salute? Either way, somebody must have fascistic inclinations. W. M.
