Anaheim, located in the richest spot on earth, "In the Heart of the Valencia, Orange District," is widely known for its beautiful parks, fine schools and churches, and for its other civic improvements and the stability of its citizenship and its business institutions. When you plan your future home of contentment, the one-stop answer is Anaheim! (Continued from Page 1) Anaheim, probably not consisting of very many millionaires, as a part of a highly-financed campaign against social security, as it is now being operated under government control. This mixed crowd, some employers and some government function. This causes the employees who have social security benefits paid for to wonder how they will ever get their money when the government has already spent it. Where will the government get the money to replace the social security money that has been spent for other purposes? What will become of the credits that have been paid in by employees and their employers in case the big insurance companies and their political party again get control of the government and kick out the social security law? These are some of the questions the employees want to have answered. They feel that since they have paid their money into the fund they would like to feel secure.

This mixed crowd, some employers and some employees, had various reactions to the big executive's speech. After considerable experience with social security I am still not sure what to think about it, as a government function. I am probably not qualified to argue the question, and maybe not competent to analyze the deal, but let's try it and see what happens. Almost everybody is a capitalist or a laborer. If a man is in business for himself and employs one or more persons, he is a capitalist. If he hires out to work for somebody else he is a laborer and becomes subject to all government rules that apply to payrolls. His employer is forced to hold out of his pay check a percentage for "social security," which he must remit to the government together with a like amount that comes out of the employer's own pocket. If the employer is a one-man "capitalist" he must pay social security for his employees, but the employer himself cannot have the advantage of the social security insurance, if he thinks it a good thing and should want it. In the meantime he has "held out" something from his employee's check and the employee has demanded a considerable raise in salary to offset the "hold-out," which further increases the amount the employer must contribute to his employee's government insurance fund. So, the employer feels that he is being made the goat. He has to hold out part of his employee's salary, do all the bookkeeping and remit the money to the government, contributing a like amount himself, besides raising the employee's salary, and he still has no insurance for himself. The employee is a little dissatisfied too because he hasn't even seen the money that has been remitted for him. He knows he should have some insurance but he hates to be forced into something. Also in the meantime, the insurance companies are against the whole thing because without The insurance companies have spent many years and lots of money to prove that a big percentage of men and women at 65 years of age are dependent upon charity or relatives, in spite of the fact that the insurance companies always had insurance for sale as protection against such a situation. But there wasn't any law to force people to buy insurance, as the government forces them to have social security. The statisticians have also proved that 90 percent of all businesses eventually go broke, so the small "capitalist" who pays social security on his employees, who cannot have the benefit of it for himself, is still a prospect for the insurance companies, but there is no law to force him to buy regular insurance. So finally we come back to where we started. We all admit that insurance is a good thing, but we don't know whether we are in favor of having it forced upon us. We feel the same way about all other laws. We cuss the automobile safety laws and we break as many of them as we can get away with. Yet, if it wasn't for these laws we would kill ourselves and each other with automobiles so fast there soon wouldn't be enough people left to build an automobile. We hate all safety and moral laws, yet without these laws we would soon become a wild and reckless race that would exterminate itself. Without the social security law a very, very small percent of the people would have any protection against the time when they would become dependent upon somebody. Can the answer be that we are not capable of governing ourselves? Could a succeeding political party kill the social security law and get away with it? Would the people want the social security law killed, or would they have any choice in the matter if the insurance companies win the elec- Supervisor William Scott is engaged at the presoiling various roads in supervisor district.

The bright red vehicle still runs efficiently on virtually no gasoline at all. It's already gone 270,000 miles, and appears ready for many more, because Judge Thompson, widely-known as a collector of ancient autos, keeps it in A-1 shape. The Superior Judge also displayed a 1909 Yale motorcycle which was the first police motorcycle used to catch speeders in San Bernardino. RETURNS FROM IDAHO Mrs. Lorraine Hutchison returned to her home here Tuesday after being in Twin Falls, Idaho, for the past two weeks, where she was called because of the death of her mother, Mrs. Albert Putzier. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts from files of The Gazette Issued a Half Century and a Quarter Century ago. These files contain the only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago May 1, 1919 Scientific study of the Santa Ana river in preparation for future flood control plans is practically assured with the passage Wednesday by the State Senate of a bill by Assemblyman Knight of Redlands, appropriating $5,000 for the water study. The plan is for the state, the federal government, and the counties of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino to co-operate in carrying out the study plan. Very few negative votes were cast against the bill, which had already been passed by the Assembly, and now goes to the governor for his signature. Supervisor William Schumacher is engaged at the present time oiling various roads in the third supervisor district. Lack of oil prevented this work last spring, but many miles of highway will be put in excellent shape when the present job is completed. Mr. Schumacher says there is much excitement throughout the district. 50 Years Ago May 4, 1894 We have a quiet tip that Anaheim will be or has already been, selected as the site of the Catholic Orphan Asylum, the construction of which has been under consideration by the members of that faith for some time past. The erection of the asylum will be particularly agreeable to the people of this city. Mr. Mouliot has sold his ranch of 1,100 acres at Northam to Mr. Emery of Chicago, $4000 having been turned over to him as the first payment, the total purchase price not being given. The report current some weeks ago to the effect that he had sold his ranch to Dr. Greene of patent medicine fame was in error. Sixty men and several teams are engaged in cementing the south branch ditch from Crowther's corner to Brookhurst. A distance of seven hundred feet is cemented daily and the work is moved into its new quarters on Lemon street Saturday night. The move was accomplished without interruption of business. Half an inch of rain fell in Anaheim last Saturday. Further north the precipitation was heavier, Los Angeles getting an inch. Loren Whitaker is one of the Anaheim soldier boys who did his bit for his country and returned safely home. His brother, Gerald is still in France. Sergt.

Goodchild has been issued a permit to build an addition of a bed room and make other alterations to his property at 601 South Lemon street. Supervisor William Schumacher is engaged at the present time polling various roads in the third supervisor district. Lack of oil prevented this work last spring, but many miles of highway will be put in excellent shape when the present job is completed. Mr. Schumacher says there is much excitement throughout the district over the oil possibilities, twenty rigs now being put up in the Placentia neighborhood. After nine months service in France Joe Collings has received his discharge from the army and is once more at home. Joe was the Wells-Fargo agent here when the war broke out. He will continue to work for the company, but probably in a different capacity. Walter Naugle is again working through the sugar campaign in Cuba, being connected with one of the largest plants on the island. His company will make 400,000 bags of 325 pounds each this season. Walter will come home after the season closes, probably in June. E. L. Doheny, the oil magnate, was in town some days ago. Mr. Doheny says according to his expert, the new oil field now being developed in the Placentia neighborhood is a new strata and that it extends in this direction. It connects, he says, with the Standard-Murphy field. Dr. J. W. Truxaw has purchased the residence property of G. A. Waterman on South Los Angeles street and will shortly move into it. This was formerly the Gervais place. Fred Marsh is again in the grocery business at his old stand on East Center street, corner of North Claudina. He has purchased the store from G. O. Payne company and took possession Monday. Bill Vetter is his first assistant.

Father Noonan in Los Angeles last Saturday evening. The happy couple returned to this city on Sunday evening and went to the Del Campo Hotel where they will in future reside. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Smith and family were in waiting at the hotel to meet them and they were tendered a royal welcome home. A sumptuous supper was served to which ample justice was done by those present. Later the Anaheim band tendered them a serenade. The Gazette extends hearty congratulations. Charley Bailey was in town yesterday and informs us that he contemplates a visit to the Midwinter Fair. He goes prepared to see everything, even one old friend the vanishing lady, the '49 Camp and Cairo street. Parties who went down to the Landing May day report that the crowd present numbered close to a thousand, and was one of the largest ever present at the beach. The first bathing of the season was enjoyed, and a ball game between Los Angeles and Santa Ana clubs in which the former was victorious, was a further attraction. Co. Q of the boys' school brigade were down and had a drill under command of Capt. Halpin. The Landing will be a great place for picnics this summer, as usual.
