KUCHEL Editors and Publishers Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. FOR JUSTICE OF THE PEACE For fourteen years, Justice of Peace Charles Kuchel of the Anaheim township court has been rendering fair and honorable service to those who have come before him. His record, mainly determined by the overwhelming affirmance of his decisions on appeal, is an outstanding one, and denotes that Judge Kuchel has given simple, honest, and fair decisions in the thousands of cases that have come before him. Judge Kuchel is a pioneer of Anaheim. He has seen this city grow from a handful of hardy first founders to the healthy, beautiful city that it is today. Indeed, he has been a part of that growth. Now, in his later years, Anaheim can do no better than return him to the office in which he has so creditably served the people in the past. LAST MINUTE ATTACKS USUALLY FALSE This being almost the eve of the election, the time has now arrived for the usual last minute villification to take place in our local campaign. One of the oldest methods of campaigning—resorted to by the unscrupulous and unprincipled candidate—is to send out, on the eve of the election, a flood of half-truths, misquoted matter, and flagrant buncombe, with the assurance that there is not sufficient time to answer. So, as usual, many in this city and county are now receiving this last-minute barrage of letters and circulars. Generally speaking, they are all about the same. They appeal, or attempt to appeal, to the emotions of the reader, rather One of the oldest methods of campaigning—resorted to by the unscrupulous and unprincipled candidate—is to send out, on the eve of the election, a flood of half-truths, misquoted matter, and flagrant buncombe, with the assurance that there is not sufficient time to answer. So, as usual, many in this city and county are now receiving this last-minute barrage of letters and circulars. Generally speaking, they are all about the same. They appeal, or attempt to appeal, to the emotions of the reader, rather than to his reason. If the recipient of that type of literature would ask himself the question: "Why have they waited until now to send me this?" the answer would be immediately apparent. Votes are wanted, pure and simple; the disreputable dispenser of that kind of campaign material can't waste time on reasoning... From this week on, through next Tuesday, the voter should be on guard against last minute attacks, the use of scurrilous mis-statements, all designed to harm some one at a time when he has no time to demonstrate their falsity. There is a good rule: Make sure that there is definite proof, honest proof, to fortify any extravagant statements made from here on out. If that proof is not forthcoming, disregard the statement entirely. CONSERVATIONISTS, REMEMBER In the 1935 session of the state legislature, Assemblyman Ted Craig of Brea introduced a bill designed to make Orange county a fish preserve. It was a conservation measure designed to protect our shore from marauding purseseiners whose activities were greatly diminishing our sardines—the "food fish" of the ocean. The bill passed the legislature, was signed by Governor Merriam, and became law. It is unfortunate that the district court of appeal held the act unconstitutional for certain technical reasons. Conservationists should hold one fact in mind, however, when they vote next Tuesday. Ellis E. Patterson, a candidate for lieutenant-governor next Tuesday, was a member of the legislature that year. Did Mr. Patterson vote for the Orange county fish preserve bill? He DID NOT! Mr. Patterson talked himself hoarse trying to convince the legislature that the bill was no good. The conservationists of Orange county will remember that when they vote on who shall be our next lieutenant-governor. Mr. Patterson did not remember California conservationists, nor Orange county conservationists. So, now, if Orange county conservationists forget Mr. Patterson, there can be, after all, no complaint on his part. The object will be to ideally as to income classification—whether she is in the "low" "high" income group—for that be the only way the butcher grocer will know what piece charge her. Ridiculous as it may sound, is the "plain language" men of what actually being conserved by some of the Washington economic planners. They are working out a scheme where there will be two price tags on meats, fruits and vegetables. One price will be that charged families in the "low come" group. The other will for the "high income" group. Where "low" ends and "high" gins has not been decided. And about riding two horses opposite directions simultaneously That is just what the "brain" ers" and the agriculture department hope to accomplish by intriguing two price scheme. The subsidy horse that has pulled the planners' band wav in the direction of higher prices (and thus higher prices), will be left in the halt and urged on at greater speed at the other end of the wagon new horse will be hitched to in the other direction—to lower prices. If the wagon move in both directions at as the planners believe, they no reason why everybody works happy.

If so, have you compiled with the requirements of Section 2466 of the Civil Code, which says: "Every person and every partnership transacting business ... under a fictitious firm name must file ... a certificate stating the name in full and the place of residence of such person and the members of such partnership." Such certificate must be published once a week for four consecutive weeks. If you have neglected this procedure, do you realize that the name of your firm is not protected, and that you are not entitled to maintain suits for collection, or other purposes in the courts of the State of California. Take care of this important matter NOW by having the Anaheim Gazette publish the certificate. Call 2414 at once for further information and necessary forms. UNTIE HIM! SIC IM!

The capital "thinker uppers" still refuse (publicly) to take the new national game of fancy pension planning seriously, or to recognize the game as one of their own step-children. The wave of "funny money" waving has them worried privately, however. The FARMERS CORPORATION by RALPH-H-TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California That there is something radically wrong with labor relations in California—that there is desperate need for temperate action, peaceful mediation and less senseless warfare—is self-evident. The city of San Francisco, which has long been generous to organized labor, has been repaid for its generosity by a prolonged series of strikes that has driven trade to other communities and stagnated business and industry. Los Angeles, too, has been hard hit by industrial disturbances—by sit-down strikes, beatings, bombings and strong-arm tactics which made a mockery of law and order until the people of Los Angeles, a few weeks ago adopted an ordinance regulating strikes and picketing. Rural California—at Salinas, Stockton, Grass Valley and many other battlefronts—has felt the disastrous impact of "the march inland," led by "goon squads" and radical agitators. There can be no argument over the fact that California needs to supplant collective brawling with collective bargaining; that it needs to learn to "live and let live" and that it must crack down on labor leaders drunk with power, who have forgotten that liberty is not license and that privileges beget responsibilities. To meet that need, Proposition No. 1 on the November ballot was fashioned. It does not prohibit collective bargaining; it does not place unfair restrictions on labor unionism; it does not deny the right to strike, nor the right to fight for the welfare of its members. Secondary boycotts, boycott against one person pel him to boycott another with whom he has no right to cargo," a practice one union compels all (regardless of agreement ifaction with their own conditions) to refuse to commodify which the declares "unfair." Sit-down strikes, while illegal seizure of property which, if permitted, would anarchy. In short, Proposition No. 1 make the state their official argument to proposal that: "Organ has now arrived at the point it is generally conceded the right to bargain out and to protect the right members against impossibilities with employer with this position of education the recognition by employers and the rank and organization of respect which go with these now recognized rights." With the first part of its ment, no fair-minded or any quarrel. Labor does right to bargain collectively it should be protected in as it is in Proposition No. 1 with the second state labor (particularly labor ship) has learned to accept responsibilities the fact violent disagreement. been no evidence of success of responsibility; q When Mrs. Housewife goes to meet next year she may have to with her a certified copy of family's last income tax rea letter from some regional government official or a photostat libby's pay check. Or perhaps she may be able to simplify the amendments by simply displaying holes and the tattered lining of boat to the butcher and grocer. The object will be to identify itself as to income classification whether she is in the "low" or "income group" for that will be only way the butcher and grocer will know what pieces to take her. Crucial as it may sound, that the "plain language" meaning that actually being consider-ly some of the Washington comic planners. They are going out a scheme whereby will be two price tags on all fruits and vegetables. The price will be that to be used families in the "low income" group.

The subsidy horse that has been using the planners' band wagon the direction of higher farms (and thus higher food prices), will be left in the harness urged on at greater speed.

If the wagon can in both directions at once, the planners believe, they see reason why everybody won't be busy. The farmers will continue at higher prices for their prod- but the consumers (those in low income group) will pay prices at the market. The government will make up the difference under the scheme. Parently then, confusion will arise reins of both horses and taxpayer will pay for the storage, as custom abides. The capital "thinker uppers" still refuse (publicly) to take the new national game of fancy pension planning seriously, or to recognize the game as one of their own step-children. The wave of "funny money" waving has them worried privately, however. They would all be very happy indeed if the schemes were limited to humorous horseplay and not made serious political issues that threaten to take the thunder out of their own give-'em-an anything plans. The idea of two California youths to hand out 50 milk bottle tops every Friday, and make milk bottle tops the national currency, is very funny (and safe) the capitalians admit. Candid snapshots: Labor department experts are busy drafting a proposed state wage and hour law to recommend to state legislatures. State wage-hour laws would cover the corner grocery, filling station, drug store, etc., which are excluded from the federal statute, strangely, the model state law they are using to draft the one they will recommend, is an old state law already declared unconstitutional! A foreign diplomat to the United States has just had 97 cents which he paid in gas taxes refunded to him. The refund was made after the diplomat had appealed to the state department on the grounds that ambassadors and ministers are immune to taxes. He hasn't tried yet to get refund of the hidden taxes he pays in food and other commodity prices... Several government agencies who customarily help congressional investigating committees in digging up facts and figures, have refused flatly to help the congressional committee investigating subversive activities of communists, fascists and other "ism" groups in the United States! The capital's observers are asking why. L. W. BLODGET and THOMAS H. KUCHEL Attorneys at Law 410-11 Bank of America Bldg., Anaheim Phone 2523 "I WANT A TELEPHONE IN HOUSE!"

Secondary boycotts, such as a boycott against one person to compel him to boycott another person with whom he has no quarrel. "Hot cargo," a practice by which one union compels all union men (regardless of agreements, or satisfaction with their own working conditions) to refuse to handle any commodity which the first union declares "unfair." Sit-down strikes, which involve illegal seizure of property and which, if permitted, would lead to anarchy. In short, Proposition No. 1 seeks to prohibit force and violence and to protect the public welfare. Labor leaders opposing Proposition No. 1 make the statement in their official argument against the proposal that: "Organized labor has now arrived at the point where it is generally conceded to have the right to bargain collectively and to protect the rights of its members against imposition in all dealings with employers. Along with this position of equality has come the recognition by the leaders and the rank and file of organized labor of responsibilities which go with these now generally recognized rights." With the first part of that statement, no fair-minded citizen has any quarrel. Labor does have the right to bargain collectively. And it should be protected in that right, as it is in Proposition No. 1. But with the second statement—that labor (particularly labor's leadership) has learned to accept its responsibilities the facts are in violent disagreement. There has been no evidence of such acceptance of responsibility; quite to the Bulldogs and Stars to Meet on Sunday Civic warfare will open on the Los Angeles pro football front when the Hollywood Stars and the Los Angeles Bulldogs tangle at the Gilmore stadium Sunday afternoon. When the contest was first arranged, it was believed that Elmer Henderson's Bulldogs would be overwhelming favorites, but the Stars have performed in such a sensational manner that many fans are looking for an upset. Paul Schissler, formerly of Oregon university and later the coach of the Chicago Cardinals, is the man who built up the Hollywood Stars. Do you remember the good old days when college professors didn't know anything about finances and admitted it? McCallen Elected League President Activities of the Orange County League of Municipalities will be directed next year by M. M. McCallen, mayor of Huntington Beach. He was elected to succeed A. Croxton Boice, Orange mayor, last Thursday night. William Huntley, mayor of Tustin, was elected vice president of the organization and Albert J. Launer of Fullerton was re-elected secretary. Principal speaker of the evening was Richard Graves, secretary of the League of California Municipalities. Too many fellows who get the edge on the other fellow finally turn it over and sit down on it. 11 Times as Many Deaths from Typhoid Fever In 1010 as in 1934 The percentages are being lowered each succeeding year, and how thankful we should be. You can remember when there were numbers of typhoid cases every summer, either in your family or within your personal acquaintanceship. What has cut down this percentage? Nothing but Medical Science working with vaccines and With the first part of that statement, no fair-minded citizen has any quarrel. Labor does have the right to bargain collectively. And it should be protected in that right, as it is in Proposition No. 1. But with the second statement—that labor (particularly labor's leadership) has learned to accept its responsibilities the facts are in violent disagreement. There has been no evidence of such acceptance of responsibility; quite to the contrary, there has been constant turmoil; constant affront to law and order. The rank and file of labor, we believe, disapprove of strong-arm methods just as much as the general public. And the rank and file worker, who wants paychecks rather than strike benefits, should join with agriculture and the public at large in disarming labor's dictators—in stripping them of their brass knuckles and their thugs and gangsters. California wants labor peace. Proposition No. 1 is the road to peace. Every farmer should support it. how thankful we should be. You can remember when there were numbers of typhoid cases every summer, either in your family or within your personal acquaintanceship. What has cut down this percentage? Nothing but Medical Science working with vaccines and serums, through public education and municipal avenues to purify water supplies, carry off waste and remove the cause of that wasting and fever-racking disease.
