ANAHEIM GAZETTE Established 1870 ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1935 The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited but the same family since 1875. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, Calif. Subscription Per Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... $1.00 MRS. HENRY KUCHEL THEODORE B. KUCHEL Editors and Publishers Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. NO MORE GAS TAX Comes now Mr. Larry Barrett, chairman of the State Highway Commission with his campaign to increase the state gasoline tax from three cents to five cents, which, with the added penny that the federal government exacts, would call for a total of six cents per gallon as taxes, instead of the present four cents. "California's highway system is threatened with serious deterioration unless additional road revenues can be provided soon," Mr. Barrett is quoted as saying in San Francisco. That, coming from one who ought to know, may be so. But it appears a little doubtful when the state is able to build so many new roads and super highways. In these days, perhaps a little more thought ought to be expended on how to economize on good road building and road repair — and government, in general, so far as that goes—and a little less tax monies expended. It is somewhat encouraging to find that Mr. Frank Clark, director of the state department of public works, feels that Mr. Barrett may be in error in his suggestion. NOTHING NEED BE ADDED There appeared in the Arcadia Tribune and News of September 7 and article written by Miss Harjorie Hesse for her column, "Just Between Us." It failed to appear in its regular place, because Editor Will Ragan knew its worth and gave it a prominent place on the first page. Miss Hesse's older brother, Harry Hesse, died in action in the World War, Hate and class prejudice—rudely engendered and cunningly fanned into flame—have been favorite weapons of demagogue and rogues ever since the political opportunist climbed on soap box. Agitators and dictators, chattans and revolutionaries invariably beat the tom-toms against clergy, or religion as a means whipping their followers into frenzy of hatred that will bury them to their own devious objectives. In Germany, Hitler has directed his campaign of hate at Jews Catholics. In Russia, Stalin diverts people's attention from their ter poverty by wholesale firings squad purges. In Japan, impoverished by war the war-lords preach hate against helpless China. And in America, politicians wishing nothing to offer, but ambitious personal advancement, all too ten resort to their own petty capaigns of hate—against farm business men, "the tories", "land owners" and "the capitalist system." The red agitator uses the same weapons. The professional motor also makes use of them. NOTHING NEED BE ADDED There appeared in the Arcadia Tribune and News of September 7 and article written by Miss Harjorie Hesse for her column, "Just Between Us." It failed to appear in its regular place, because Editor Will Ragan knew its worth and gave it a prominent place on the first page. Miss Hesse's older brother, Harry Hesse, died in action in the World War, and her column speaks for itself: "Your pictured young face looks so serious over its stiff, old fashioned collar and shiny buttons that we wonder if you can know that 'they' say you failed? 'They' say you failed because men still nursing ancient hates and age-old lusts forgot you . . . and now once more 'they've' gone to war . . . Can you hear the rumble of the big guns from the hill where you lie? . . . Does the tramp of marching feet, feet so soon to join yours, and the whirring planes and the crashing timbers disturb your rest? "It pierces to see that each year your face grows younger than ours, that was then so much younger than yours . . . and we smile when we remember that it was necessary to stand on tiptoe and stretch very hard to reach your shoulder . . . "You died . . . and we gave you gladly, because we thought that this thing that rent us would never happen again to any woman . . . and it would never happen because you laid your brave, bright youth, so willingly on the altar of what men called civilization. "Because of that we were happy . . . and we remembered you always . . . each birthday of yours we wept a little, inwardly, and decorated your picture with flowers . . . and many times we put an extra plate on the table, pretending to make a mistake. "Now, we know that those sorrowful days of waiting of chilled fear at each knock . . . of scanning long, sad lists with beating heart . . . must be lived over again not by us, perhaps, but by millions of others like us. "It marked us those months when you were lost . . when we so often elbowed our way to the front of every line, because we could not see, being small, the faces of returning, weary men . . : That was before we knew that you were dead . . And how you died we never knew . . only the terse yellow telegram came saying you were 'killed in action.' "Even then we dreamed night after night that it was all a mistake and that you walked in, tweaking my braids as you always did . . on greeting. "But the long years rolled around . . and the pain lessened 'though we never once forgot . . and your image lived on . . young and brave and fair . . and then we heard that we had given you in vain . . that the fine words were hollow . . and the shouts of triumph, a mockery . . and that your great gift of life was wasted. "But in spite of what 'they' say , we know that you are unconquerable . . unconquerable because once a very long time ago, like you, Someone Else gave His life and 'they' said He failed." California has good reason to on its guard at the present time against the propaganda of lists in hate—for they are bold at work, seeking to turn cows against class; endeavoring to the seeds of hatred with even medium at their command. Harry Bridges, testifying at deportation hearing, shouts his hatred of employers. The People's World, community daily newspaper of San Francisco preaches hate against farmers, publicans, "renegade democrats," the American Federation of Lawyers the American Legion, "big business," "the kept press" and one who dares to dispute the so doctrine. "National Ham and Eggs," special organ of the Thirty-Thursday pension movement, inflames readers with a campaign of hate against the Associated Farmers the banks, "bought-and-paid-newspapers," merchants (excuse for those who endorse Ham and Eggs and advertise in its columns public officials, business and dry others). But chiefly the pension publication hammers away with its message of hate against farmers, bankers and business—picturing food burned so the poor can't eat banning the headline, "California Jobless Going Insane"; changing that "huge dairy distribution corporations" are freezing price of milk so high that children are underfed; accusing the bank of preying upon the people charging business with crimes speakable. California "liberals" who are contributing their dues and dollars to the e And California's elder citizen who are contributing their dues and dollars to the e heard that we had given you in vain . . . that the fine words were hollow . . . and the shouts of triumph, a mockery . . . and that your great gift of life was wasted. "But in spite of what 'they' say . . . we know . . . that you are unconquerable . . . unconquerable because once a very long time ago, like you, Someone Else gave His life and 'they' said He failed.

The county general fund profited to the extent-of $2,000 on Monday when Francik (who confessed to being the mysterious J. M. Paulson) appeared and changed his plea on a misdemeanor charge to "guilty." Francik is the man who was wanted for months in connection with the "Fools Rush In" pamphlet case of last year. District Attorney Holden described him as the go-between who ordered and paid for the printing of the pamphlet. But the thing the public has wanted to know is, for whom did he act? Who was really responsible? These facts still remain a secret, and are likely to remain so, which was what folks meant last week when they predicted ers of the Ham and Eggs promoters, would do well to ask themselves: "Are all my neighbors (if they fail to agree with me) despicable 'tools of the special interests'? Are all newspapers, except 'National Ham and Eggs,' unreliable, untruthful and vicious? Are the farmers I know monsters, who nothing would come of the case. Francik appeared in justice court to plead. The justice announced that he would fine him $2,000. This amount (the same as the bail bond under which Francik was at liberty) was immediately paid over in good cold U. S. currency. From the beginning and all through this case it has been evident that somebody with plenty of money and who was willing to spend it freely was directly concerned in this pamphlet matter. There have been rumors of those who might have talked but were paid not to. It also hooks up with other instances in which somebody has privately furnished considerable cash to be used for political purposes. When one comes to canvass Orange county for persons who could and would dish out cash in this way for these purposes the number of probabilities becomes surprisingly small. Starting with that fact, you can go ahead and do your own guessing. But it is evident that there is some loose money which is ready to spend itself to swing things in the county. FOOD SHORTAGE HITS COUNTY DEPENDENTS Folks who depend on Orange county to buy their food and serve California has good reason to be guard at the present time that the propaganda of special hate—for they are boldly work, seeking to turn class; endeavoring to sow seeds of hatred with every aim at their command. Early Bridges, testifying at his station hearing, shouts his call of employers. People's World, communist newspaper of San Francisco, hates against farmers, reacts, "renegade democrats," American Federation of Labor, American Legion, "big business," "the kept press" and anyone dares to dispute the soviet one. National Ham and Eggs," off-organ of the Thirty-Thursday movement, inflames its critics with a campaign of hate against the Associated Farmers, banks, "bought-and-paid-for papers," merchants (except those who endorse Ham and advertise in its columns), officials, business and sunners. Chiefly the pension public-sammer away with its messy hate against farmers, banks business—picturing food burned so the poor can't eat it; bring the headline, "Californiess Going Insane"; charge that "huge dairy distributing operations" are freezing the milk so high that children underfed; accusing the banks paying upon the people and being business with crimes unable. California "liberals" who read People's World should ask themselves: "What is truth—and is propaganda? Why, if their is good, must they resort to campaign of hate?" California's elder citizens are contributing their dimes dollars and dollars to the coffees secret, and are likely to remain so, which was what folks meant last week when they predicted ers of the Ham and Eggs promoters, would do well to ask themselves: "Are all my neighbors (if they fail to agree with me) despicable 'tools of the special interests'? Are all newspapers, except "National Ham and Eggs," unreliable, untruthful and vicious? Are the farmers I know monsters, who burn their crops so that the poor can have no food?" California is being fed hate in such big doses that every conscientious, honest citizen needs to be on his guard. A movement that must rely on vituperation and hate in its effort to corral votes is a movement to be viewed with suspicion. The natural question is: "Why, the smokescreen? Why, the attempt to fan the fires of class hatred?" Whether it be the Ham and Eggs pension movement, the communist movement, fascism, or some other "ism," any movement, that must fall back on hate to sell its wares has sacrificed its right to the support of Californians who still believe in American principles of decency and fair play. FOOD SHORTAGE HITS COUNTY DEPENDENTS Folks who depend on Orange county to buy their food and serve them their meals have been on the verge of doing without some things the past week. They have not, but it has taken some tall scrambling to keep up a supply of some necessities. The county hospital patients, and prisoners at the jail and detention home are provided for through the purchasing department. One of its most important functions is the supply of food stuffs. Even in so short a time after the speculative boom started the effects were felt in the county. Sugar, flour and various cereal foods soon became so scarce that it was difficult this week to secure enough, according to the department. Wholesalers found their stocks depleted and not readily replenished. UNION PACIFIC Challenger TRAVEL ECONOMY AT ITS BEST! TRAVEL ECONOMY AT ITS BEST!
