The Orange County Plain Dealer An Independent Newspaper, Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday R. W. ERNEST, Manager PAUL V. HESTER, Editor Subscription rate—In No. Orange-co: Per yr. $2; six months $1.25 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second-class matter The Colorado River dammed and its floods controlled, some time will be hailed as one of the most useful streams on earth. It is now in order for lovers of peace everywhere to make war on those conditions and states of mind which provoke nations into war. Constructive criticism oftentimes is useful and always is to be respected. Destructive, unreasonable criticism is not deserving of respect. The farmer needs capital to produce foodstuffs. But, for that matter, many a consumer needs capital to buy his daily supply of foodstuffs. The Shantung controversy should be settled for all time, and should not be a bone of contention to plague the Far East. Children should be taught morals and manners, along with arithmetic and geography. Educational training is dangerously incomplete if it has no moral savor to it. The farmer should have a square deal and so should the consumer. In maintaining the equities between the two classes, some very delicate balancing is required. Many criminals here in California, detected, arrested, tried and convicted, do not get the full measure of legal punishment which they deserve. There is too much marching of criminals into prison and then marching them right out again. Should-the United States Senate repudiate the work of the Arms Conference and nullify its efforts by re- SCANDAL IN FOOTBALL; IS FIRST OF KIND The first football scandal of consequence has been laid bare in the Middle-West, and as a result, eight prominent athletes of Notre Dame University have been disqualified. These eight confessed to having played in a semi-professional game at Taylorville, Ill., last November. Among those affected are two All-American football players of the Notre Dame team. Secret knowledge that these prominent players were to be in the game, led to the betting of $100,000. The players, however, claim all knowledge of this and say there was nothing corrupt in their playing—they did it just for a lark. But Notre Dame is quick to disavow the scandal and to punish its recurrent athletes. It means the disruption of the Notre Dame football team for 1922. But Father Carey, of Notre Dame, taking the stand that will be applauded by clean sportsmen everywhere, says that "we will stand for no taint or hint of professionalism here, not even if it wrecks our teams forever; we don't permit a man to play on any team unless he is well up in his studies, and we won't permit any other rule to be broken." Football has been remarkably clean, morally. It is now. This regrettable episode, while it calls for severe punishment of the athlete who broke the rules, yet gives no evidence of corruption. It has more the appearance of a lark by spirited boys.

There is too much marching of criminals into prison and then marching them right out again. Should the United States Senate repudiate the work of its arms conference and nullify its efforts by refusing to ratify the treaties and agreements which it formulated, that would be an outrageous defiance of public opinion. The people want those compacts ratified. New York Letter Columbus Circle, that spacious intersection of Broadway, Eighth ave and Fifty-ninth-st, has come to be dubbed "Skyscraper Circle," so high into the air has it shot with new buildings in this past year. Columbus on his pedestal stands dwarfed completely, and the Maine monument looks almost toylike. Are we on a rebound toward the more picturesque and elaborate days on femininity? Some fashion symptoms would indicate it. For instance, ostrich feathers — not the crisp, straight ones of the last few seasons, out flowing ones all curled as they used to be; side draperies on gowns; diamond earrings, and long tight sleeves. Probably before long, veils will be all that they were in past days, draped and long, and already flowers are in again. It begins to look as though the freedom of clothes was passing for the hampered sex. One of the interesting exhibits at this year's exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists will be the unusually fine group of Indian paintings by the younger artists of the Hopi and Zuni tribes of New Mexico. These paintings depict the ceremonial life of the Pueblo Indians and are beautifully conceived and executed. The exhibition will be held at the Waldorf Hotel March 11 to April 2. The recent action of Judge Harland B. Howe in permitting a New York jury to test the evidence at first hand in a liquor case has had a surprising and welcome effect on the course of justice, according to court attendants. It has reduced the number of those asking to be excused from jury duty by almost half, they say. "Jury duty is arduous work," one of them commented, "and we can't blame men from trying to avoid it. But they certainly have increased their enthusiasm for helping to turn the wheels of justice in The only chance New York is going to have to get a glimpse of Mary Garden and her Chicago Opera Co., members is when they may be flitting betimes from a trans-Atlantic steamer to the Twentieth Century train for Chicago. That is Impressario Mary's word of greeting for us here upon her arrival in our midst for her company's season here. For one thing, she explains, she personally likes the west, "loves it," to be exact, and for another thing, she sees no reason for competing with the Metropolitan Co. in its own field. "We have the West," she says, "and they may just as well keep the East." That sounds logical, but we have been priding ourselves so happily on the fact that this great Metropolis needed all the opera singers in the country at some time during the season that it gives us a little jolt in our feelings to have a whole company taken away from us so blithely. New York City may abandon the trolley car. It has become only a short ride vehicle, anyway, due to the subways and elevated roads, and the city is now working to get busses instead of trolley for those rides. Twenty-five million dollars have been asked for the establishment of a municipal motor bus system, which would mean, according to the estimates, 291 bus routes, with 3,000 busses to replace the same number of trolley cars. The Casino Theatre was the scene of a double celebration the other evening. Not only was it the occasion of the 200th performance there of "Tangerine," but it was the thirteenth anniversary of the wedding of Richard Carle, leading comedian of the play.

Except Sunday Special Appointment 5 to 12 - 1 to 5:30 By Request Tariff Needs Attention, Says Schwab Never before was there such crying need for a tariff as now. The American market is being flooded with cheap goods from Germany, Spain and other European countries while American factories are closed and the people who make the best market for Anaheim Valencias are out of work. Right now, at Anaheim sporting goods stores, a Luger gun, made in Germany, can be purchased for $28. The lowest price before the war was $35 and during the war the price mounted to $60. A gun made in Spain is selling for $22 in Anaheim stores. Put it beside a wellknown American make which costs $42 and you can't tell the difference. A knife made in Germany, of very finest materials, spring clasp that opens by pressing a button—in fact, a knife that any man would be proud to own—now retails for 90 cents. Formerly, it sold wholesale for $1.50 or more. Anent the tariff situation, Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the Bethlehem Steel Corp., makes some interesting observations in a letter to J. E. Edgerton, president of the National Ass'n of Manufacturers. He says: "Except for business engagements in New York, which could not be postponed, I would have been happy to accept your cordial invitation to speak before the tariff convention in support of the principle of American Valuation as a basis for tariff duties." Indecision is the greatest handicap to progress. At this particular period of readjustment, when the whole world is calling for action, nothing could be more beneficial than a meeting such as yours to give expression from the north, south, east and west, of the united wish of the American people that we rebuild and reconstruct upon sound economic foundations. Today we are confronted with a basic weakness in our tariff policy which is affecting, injuring, the whole industrial fabric of the nation. Fluctuations in foreign exchange are playing havoc with wages, prices and orders. Because our present tariff laws were framed at a time when foreign monies were normal, they are today actually inoperative as far as protecting labor and industry or to have restricted immigration, if through defects in our tariff, the products of these millions of men and women abroad are now glutting our markets and forcing millions of workers out of their positions? What better employment insurance could we have than a tariff law which insures the American worker his job in competition with the workmen of the world? "In 1915 it required the work of 5,000 men for one day to make 1,000 tons of steel rails. Let us suppose that today an American railroad placed an order for 50,000 tons of rails in Belgium, Germany or England because these rails might be bought for less money abroad than at home. This would mean that 5,000 men in our own country would be idle for 50 days. It would mean that several thousand employees of our railroads would have less work because the railroads would be deprived of hauling these rails and the raw materials such as coal coke, iron, etc., which come from the mines to the mills. It would mean that thousands of miners would have less work if the product of their labor were not used by the mills. It would mean that the workers of the mines, mills and railroads would have less money to spend for the necessities of life with the baker, the grocer or the retailer. This tendency to buy abroad at the expense of our own country is short-sighted economy. What can be done to meet this situation? "Today the whole world seeks our co-operation and assistance. We, as Americans, have listened always to the pleas of the people of Europe but let us not forget that a prosperous America can help the world but a prostrate America cannot. Until we can produce, we cannot help. "Congress is struggling to enact a tariff bill which will enable us, as a people and a nation, to work for ourselves, our country and the world, but no tariff will build a foundation for prosperity, which does not remedy the hole in our present laws which the fluctuations in foreign exchange have torn in it. "We have American standards in everything but our tariff." When Is a Farm Center Not a Farm Center? What is the cure for the disease, "Lack of Interest" of Farm Bureau Members? There are two factors that are absolutely essential to the carrying on of Farm Bureau work and especially to the fulfilling of the mission of the Farm Center. The first and foremost is a definite program of work with carefully planned projects, working toward a goal. And the very best way to develop such a program of work is for every Farm Center to adopt projects of vital interest to their own community and put them in charge of capable, enthusiastic project leaders or chairmen. From such a compilation of work programs, collected from all farm centers, a big outline for the entire county can be developed which will include the important problems confronting every enterprise of the farming industry. The above will then be the working force of the entire Farm Bureau membership. And will eventually return to the farmers in actual dollars and cents many times his or her original membership fee, together with the satisfaction of knowing that the job has been well done. The second essential part of the Farm Bureau movement also depends in the main on the individual Farm Center and its membership. If the center selects a live group of people for the officers for the year who in turn appoint the proper committee-man, ten or twelve well attended monthly farm center meetings are assured. The officers must see it that meetings are well advertised; they start on time, close on Union seem to fit in rotation as well as above. (d. Early and deep plowing is essential.

The second essential part of the Farm Bureau movement also depends in the main on the individual Farm Center and its membership. If the center selects a live group of people for the officers for the year who in turn appoint the proper committeeman, ten or twelve well attended monthly farm center meetings are assured. The officers must see to it that meetings are well advertised; that they start on time, close on time, and a program for the evening is carried out with plenty of snap. Speakers with a message, music, and open discussion will make any meeting worth while to every member. And after several applications of this medicine, the attendance increases, more members take part in the discussion and gradually we find a growing, healthy farm center. The following report from the Buena Park Farm Center meeting held Monday, Feb. 13th, shows what can be put across in an evening by a live chairman who has willing committees working with him after a definite program of work for the year has been decided upon: Meeting called to order at 7:45 by Chairman Richardson; Reading of minutes of January meeting, approved; Proposition of buying cups, saucers and spoons brought up by chairman was referred to minutes of last May and purchase of above to be made. Talk on beet growing by Mr. C. L. McComber. (a) Rotation of crops seems to be important factor in growing of beets. Using of beans resulted in 22 tons to acre, against nine, the State average. (b) Beets no harder on land than barley. From 6 to 8 sacks after heavy cropping; Use of beans, alfalfa, summer fallowing solved barley. (c) Tomatoes, potatoes and other crops that require summer cultivation. WARNS CAR OWNERS TO EFFACE NUMBERS Motorists who have the Yale and Sargent locking system on their cars should at once obliterate the key numbers on the lock plates, according to advice given out today by the Auto Club of So. Calif. The key code book has been stolen from the United Motors Service, Inc., at Philadelphia, and it is believed the code has fallen into the hands of auto thieves. With the key numbers filed off it will be harder for a thief, if he has the code, to tell what key will fit the individual locks. It would be well for owners to make a note book notation of the number before filing, as it might be necessary at some time to purchase another key. It is said that 65 per cent of the latest cars were equipped with one of the locks described. The club urges motorists to register their locks with the main office of the club or with any of its branches. OPEN STOCK DINNERWARE 32 Pieces $6.95 Anaheim Novelty and Gift Shop H. J. EFKER 138 W.

SUTTON Daily 7:30 to 6:30 Importance of State Reapportionment The following resolution was unanimously adopted by the board of directors of the Hermosa Beach C. of C., Feb. 7, 1922. Whereas: The Constitution of the State of California provides for the reapportionment of the legislative districts of the state according to population at the next session of the legislature following each federal census, and Whereas: This reapportioning has been delayed upon technicalities and largely because of sectional political interests, and Whereas: An attempt is now being made to place upon the ballot for the November election an initiative proposition known as the Windrem Plan of Reapportionment which will limit representation in the state senate to one senator from each county, and Whereas: This plan would deny just representation to Southern California, which by reason of larger counties would be limited in representation, and although containing one-third of the area and almost one-half of the population and paying 74% of the taxes of the state, would, under the proposed plan, be limited to one-fifth of the state senators, and Whereas: The Windrem Plan, while ostensibly to provide adequate representation for the agricultural areas of the state, would practically deny representation to Los Angeles county, the richest and most progressive agricultural section of the state, and which was last year the richest agricultural county in the world, and Whereas: The plan is no more than the attempt of sectional politicians to hold to their waning power in the legislature by penalizing So. Calif. progress; now, therefore, be it Resolved: That the Hermosa Beach C. of C. express its positive dissatisfaction with the delay in following the mandates of the state constitution in reapportionting the legislative districts of the state according to population; and that the chamber does call upon his excellency, Governor William D. Stephens, to immediately call a special session of the legislature to consider and undertake reapportionment in accordance with the constitution of the state; and be it further Resolved: That the Hermosa Beach C. of C. hereby declares its unalterable opposition to the Windrem Plan of Reapportionment, denounces the motives of its proponents, and calls upon every organization and citizen of So. Calif. to defeat the measure, and be it further. Resolved: That the chamber hereby declares the association of its purpose and interest to the intent of the above resolutions with 'any and all other organizations of like mind, and be it further Resolved: That the Hermosa Beach C. of C. calls upon the citizens and civic organizations of the city and county of San Francisco, and of the city and of the county of Sacramento to join the determined fight to defeat the Windrem Plan since it denies just representation to their respective cities and counties, and be it further Resolved: That copies of these resolutions be sent to every civic organization of So. Calif., to the press, to the governor, to our legislators, and to other interested parties. FAVORS SALES TAX FOR SOLDIER BONUS WASHINGTON, Feb. 15. — President Harding favors a sales tax to provide funds for the soldiers' bonus. This is the conclusion of Republican leaders close to him, because of the fact that the chief executive has rejected every other plan proposed.
