PACIFIC MAIL MONOPOLY On Tuesday the senate unanimously passed Senator Sanford's joint resolution denouncing the Pacific mail steamship company and calling upon California's representatives in congress to work for increased powers for the interstate commerce commission. The resolution, as adopted, calls attention to the fact that the recent raise in freight rate between California points and the east will place a burden upon manufacturers, merchants and producers to an extent approximating upwards of ten million dollars every year; that the statements made by the transcontinental railroads show increased net earnings; that Joseph L. Bristow, special Panama railroad commissioner, in a report to President-elect Taft, recommended that the United States government establish a line of steamers on the Pacific ocean and connect with the railroad built across the Isthmus of Panama by the United States government to the line of steamships of the Atlantic ocean owned by the government, charging that the Pacific mail steamship company is dominated and controlled by the transcontinental lines, and therefore does not solicit other business via the Panama line. Mr. Drew stated that it was quite apparent that the assembly committee on federal relations (Mott, chairman, Coghlan, Kehoe, Schmitt, Costar, Polsley and Johnson of Placer) was endeavoring to retard action in BOYS AND GIRLS CITY It is proposed that one and fifty boys and girls eighth and ninth grades on mar schools of Chicago be the west next summer, and by newspaper representative special train, for the learning about the resource dustries of the Pacific sea that on the return they are about the trip to their school.

Wa ed into a waiting automo were whisked away. The Vegetable union ha from Anaheim and Fullerton about 20,000 sacks of s Mr. Drew stated that it was quite apparent that the assembly committee on federal relations (Mott, chairman, Coghlan, Kehoe, Schmitt, Costar, Polsley and Johnson of Placer) was endeavoring to retard action in the matter, and emphasized the fact if delay were permitted the course of the California legislature would be of no avail toward influencing the attitude of congress, which, at that time, was known to be considering the advisability of action along the lines indicated by the resolution. He urged that immediate action be taken in order that congress might clearly understand the attitude of the people of California as represented in the state legislature. Mr. Drew there fore moved that the resolution be called out from the committee on federal relations for action by the house. As a two-thirds vote is required and as but thirty-six votes were cast in the affirmative, the motion was lost, and the resolution is now at the disposal of the committee. Assemblyman Melrose voted with Drew, but the motion, as has been said, was lost. Gov. Gillett has prepared a bill which has been introduced into the legislature for voting $18,000,000 for good roads, the will of the people to be taken at the general election next year. If the legislative amendment separating state from local taxation which was defeated last November and will be again submitted to the people at the next general election, should carry at the polls, railroads, street-railway lines, telephone and telegraph companies will be exempt from taxation for these bonds. Let this proposed amendment be thoroughly discussed by the people, to the end that no gigantic bonded indebtedness be saddled upon the state, even in the name of such beneficent measure as good roads. In a word, let the people have a square deal with the corporations. Telegraphic advices from Japan are to the effect that the finances of the kingdom are in such deplorable shape that the country will be unable to go to war within fifteen years. Nevertheless, no rash legislation against the Jap should be attempted at Sacramento, and legislation against property rights of all aliens is dangerous business. We fear no Jan invasion, much less the Judge Smithwick obeyed them and at 3:45 was at the hour few minutes after had finished job that was required of him an envelope containing a bill was pressed into the judge, congratulations all changed and the happy company their friend William M.

Telegraphic advices from Japan are to the effect that the finances of the kingdom are in such deplorable shape that the country will be unable to go to war within fifteen years. Nevertheless, no rash legislation against the Jap should be attempted at Sacramento, and legislation against property rights of all aliens is dangerous business. We fear no Jap invasion, much less the occupation of even the smallest portion of California by an army of little brown men. Let Grove Johnson refrain from getting gay, and let him deal fairly by foreigners now on our shores. An assault upon the rights of the better class of foreign-born people now here, merely to strike at the Jap, is poor business. Title to thousands of acres of fertile land, lying for the most part within the confines of San Bernardino county, reverted to the government this week under a ruling of the United States circuit court of appeals, which declared the Southern Pacific company to have no right to the disputed territory. The action embraced a suit of the government to quiet title. The land originally was granted by the government to the Atlantic and Pacific railroad company, a corporation formed in the early days of state, but which never actually built its line. Later the ground passed to the Southern Pacific from the Atlantic and Pacific, but the cancellation of the Atlantic and Pacific grant is held by the court to have terminated the Southern Pacific's right to the land. Mrs. C. F. Grim has received the sad intelligence of the death of her father, Cornelius Crowley, which occurred at the family home in Potsdam, N. Y. Deceased was 71 years of age. He had been seriously ill for a fortnight and his death was not entirely unexpected.

DEFECTS IN THE NAVY While congress is increasing appropriations for big ships under a war alarm with Japan, that country is reducing its naval appropriations. The amount this year appropriated for the navy is greater than the expense of the entire government two generations ago, but the worst feature of the increase is that not more than half of the appropriation is used for the improvement of the navy; a large proportion of it goes to useless and inaccessible navy yards—inaccessible because they were established for light-draft wooden vessels and the large war vessels now building can not reach them and their drydocks are quite too small or too shallow for the accommodation of modern "dreadnaughts." The public ought to know that a navy yard at Portsmouth, Maine, maintained really for the benefit of that state, or, rather for the political advantage of Senator Hale of that state, is worse than useless, inasmuch as it costs thousands of dollars yearly to maintain it and guard it. The same may be said with reference to the navy yard at Charleston, S. C., which Senator Tillman of that state virtually acknowledged was a steal, excusable only on the ground that while other states were stealing his state was entitled to something. The navy yard at New Orleans is quite useless, or worse than useless, but Senator McHenry of that state was also supposed to be entitled to a rake-off. This yard can only be reached by vessels of comparatively light draft after sailing one hundred miles up the rapid current of the Mississippi river. The Mare Island navy yard at San Francisco is another sink hole of useless expenditure. This is an appanage of Senator Perkins of California. There are only two navy yards of the Atlantic coast that are really useful or necessary, namely, the ones at New York and Norfolk respectively. On the others at least fifty million dollars have been wasted in the last ten years. There should be another first-class Summon 8:45 was at the hotel and a minute after had finished the day was required of him.

OIL NOTES A twenty-five acre tract west of Brea canyon was sold recently to the Fullerton oil company at $2500 an acre. It is not far from some of the new oil sections and could have been purchased ten years ago at from $20 to $30 an acre. The Puente oil company has one of its new wells down 1900 feet with good indications for a gusher soon. The drill has passed through 100 feet of heavy producing oil sand. As soon as the La Habra branch of the Pacific Electric railway is extended to Randolph the Union oil company will erect near Randolph one of the largest machine shops in Southern California, to employ a large number of expert mechanics.

Some people always choose the cheapest, thinking that they save money by it.
