Kuchel Editors and Publishers The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, California. Phone 2206-2207.

Subscription Per Year, $2.00; 2 Years, $3.50; 6 Months, $1.25 YOUR VOTE It's a matter of record that in the last Presidential election—one of the most vital in all our history—nearly 32 million persons who were eligible to vote didn't bother to cast their ballots. But that is not unusual in the United States. On the contrary, it is more the exception than the rule when 60 per cent of the eligible voters actually go to the polls—and the national election in 1944 had a turnout of just about 60 per cent. If this country were suddenly taken over by a dictator who deprived the citizens of their right to vote we can well imagine the terrific resistance the American people would put up. Yet, millions of them go on year after year depriving themselves—and their country—of their vote. The apathy of too many Americans toward their voting rights and their indifference toward vital political problems and the election of candidates to public officeters in any appreciable quantity. By that time the November election will have taken place. And if the present temper of the people over the meat situation is reflected in the voting—as is expected—a good many Democrats who had expected to go back to Washington will find that their return tickets have been cancelled by meat-hungry voters. If this comes to pass President Truman will not only be faced with the loss of Democratic control of the House of Representatives but also with still further loss of prestige within his own party. This would make his chances of re-election in 1948 slimmer than ever. So, the meat famine, as the crowning item in a long series of administration fumbles and miscues, seems destined to be felt politically long after its physical aspects have disappeared from the scene. HIGHER OUTO TAXES? There is no argument against private and commercial owners paying a proper share the cost of road building maintenance. But they have paying their share right alone now they are pouring more money into the state treasury than before. Motor vehicles in California more of a necessity than a luxury thousands of persons use their cars to travel to from their work. Our stance pends to a much greater extent commercial freight transport for the moving of food suction and other products than do other states. In view of higher motor taxes will put increased burden on an essential element of California's economy. If motorists are to prevail doubling or tripling of fees taxes on their vehicles next they'll have to present strong position to the legislative posals now in the making. ALASKA The people of Alaska have it very clear that they wish territory to become a full-fledged state in the Union rather than continue the stepchild role endured for many decades. The matter still remains congress but with the norm constantly increasing in value in this advancing air is not unlikely that the solitary take positive action during 1947 session. Alaska has the rather distinction of having been a tory longer than any other American history. It was years ago this month that United States took formal possession of Alaska after purging it from Russia. It's about time we made real member of the family. If this country were suddenly taken over by a dictator who deprived the citizens of their right to vote we can well imagine the terrific resistance the American people would put up. Yet, millions of them go on year after year depriving themselves—and their country—of their vote. The apathy of too many Americans toward their voting rights and their indifference toward vital political problems and the election of candidates to public office is nothing short of disgraceful. It's high time that ALL eligible voters voted. The date is November 5, and the place is your polling booth. Be there! MEAT AND POLITICS If the way to a man's vote, like the way to his heart, is through his stomach—and the prominence of the "full dinner pail" theme in one form or another in our election campaign history indicates that politicians think it is—then the present administration has gotten its signals reversed. No matter what steps are taken now to ease the meat famine, it would take several weeks, at least, for chops, steaks and roasts to begin to appear on butchers' councils but also with still further loss of prestige within his own party. This would make his chances of re-election in 1948 slimmer than ever. So, the meat famine, as the crowning item in a long series of administration fumbles and miscues, seems destined to be felt politically long after its physical aspects have disappeared from the scene. HIGHER OUTO TAXES? Indications are that in the next session of the California legislature in 1947 every attempt will be made to sharply increase the taxes paid by motorists. Not only will higher gasoline taxes be proposed ranging from 3 to 7 cents a gallon more than efforts will also be made to the efforts will also be made to hike the annual registration fee from the current charge of $3 to $10. Nor is that all. The operator's license which is now free will cost $1 if the higher-tax advocates have their way. If this measure is adopted the life of a license would undoubtedly be reduced from four years to one or two years. TITO PAYS? The $150,000 indemnity pay of the five Americanators forced down into a crash by Yugoslav fighter has partially compensated a diplomatic point of view these cold-blooded killings money, however, which was divided among the families victims, will certainly not persuade them in any true for the loss they have sued What's more, in paying the demnity Tito, in effect, is returning to us a small part many millions of dollars we poured into his country form of food, supplies and ment of all types. And the of it is that there is little that much of this relief has used to support the large Tito is maintaining—yes, the army whose planes forced the unarmed American and its five crew members way, Tito has paid up—w money.

With the close of the wine making season we are enabled to present to our readers a tolerably accurate statement of the wine yield of Anaheim for this year and last. Our thanks are due to form courtesy and kind assistance in giving the desired information. The number of acres of bearing wine producing vines we find to be near 700. The quantity of wine made this year we foot up to 350,900 gallons; perhaps some omissions might swell the figures. The number of gallons made last year was 611,000, according to figures obtained, perhaps would go as high as 650,000. The grapes in some vineyards having been almost totally destroyed by grasshoppers this yield of over half a crop is better than could reasonably have been expected. We desire to call attention to the excellent private school taught by Mrs. Kuelp at her residence. German, music and fancy work as well as the common English branches are taught. Pupils received from 5 to 14 years of age. Terms, including board and washing, $20 per month. Kroeger's hotel was on Saturday appropriately dedicated to the cause of hospitality by the lessee, Mr. Henry Bremmerman. The building was ornamented with the national flag and a large wreath.

Only three members—Directors Fay, Benchley and Browning—were present. Secretary Blennner-hasset, (who wanted to-go to the races) called the roll and announced there was no quorum. A footfall upon the stairway, sounds like Mr. Crowther. It is Mr. Crowther. Later Messrs Key and Nebeling come in. Secretary reports a quorum. The community was shocked yesterday to learn of the death of Rudolph Luedke, which occurred at 2:30 o'clock at his home on Center street, in the 73rd year of his age. The deceased was one of the pioneers of Anaheim. He came in 1863 and during his long and honorable career had made many life long friends who will hear of his death with keen regret. Otto Zeus has abandoned the printing business for railroading and now occupies a position as agent Claybaugh's understudy at the Santa Fe station. Will Wallop has taken his place in our composing room and is learning how to bunch up type with both hands. Mrs. Kirby's home at Peralta was the scene of a joyous gathering on Thursday afternoon last, the occasion being the meeting of the Ladies' Euchre club. Mrs. J. J. Schneider won the first prize, Mrs. Charley Rogers the second and Mrs. L. F. Lewis the booby. Joseph Helmsen received a dispatch from Richard Krebes at Santa Anita on Saturday morning conveying the intelligence that Christian Saalevachter had committed suicide at the ranch on Friday, shooting himself in the head.

Schwenkert is the proud father of a very fine daughter, born at 11:30 yesterday morning. Velt Bentz has purchased his brother, Ernest's, interest in the city meat market and is again at his accustomed place at the popular establishment. Tim Carroll came up town on Monday afternoon, his first appearance since his recent trouble with his eyes. J. B. Stone of Fullerton has recovered from his recent illness sufficiently to be able to be about again. Mr. Stone is too good a citizen to be long spared in bed and we hope he has many more years of usefulness and activity. Herman Dickel, Clarence Groat and L. Goldwater attended Saturday's free-for-all pace at the Los Angeles meeting. Miss Lillian Robison entertained a number of her friends at a social hop at the opera house last Friday night.

Steadman was city marshal thirty years ago when the building was erected and he has served the city in that capacity during most of the years since. The building has grown decrepit and senile, but Frank is as vigorous and efficient as he was nearly a third of a century ago, when both he and the city hall were young. As chief peace officer of the city he watched the building take shape and grow to full proportions from a pile of brick. He has seen it gradually become aged, hoary and weather stained during the passing years, and now he is witnessing its return to the pile of bricks from which it sprang. Speaking of the warm weather prevailing last week, Fritz Yungbluth remarked that it reminded him of the time 20 years ago, when he arrived in Anaheim. Fritz landed in this city October 18, 1892, and the weather was exceedingly warm for that time of the year. He has been for many years one of the leading merchants of this city, and, whatever the weather, has been a consistent booster for this city and its environs. He considers this climate the best in the world and says this city is the most prosperous in all the southland. Fritz is a booster from away back. Mrs. E. H. Adams entertained on Sunday with a dinner in honor of her father, Dr. S. J. Paschall, who attained his seventy-seventh birthday on that day.
