THOSE ROAD BONDS It seems that the county will be put to the expense of holding an election to vote upon a bond issue for good roads. The good-roads committee of the county road boosters, by a vote of 5 to 4, on Wednesday evening last, at a meeting held at Santa Ana, decided to present to the supervisors petitions already circulated asking that body to call a bond election. These petitions, it will be recalled, were in preparedness for the board at the time Dr. Dobson and Dr. MacMullan had their disagreement some months ago. They have reposed in seclusion until the present time, when according to the boosters. WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE MONEY? Supervisor MacMullan in his open letter to taxpayers asks for $60,000 bridge bonds and $340,000 road bonds. MacMullan was until recently averse to putting the county to the expense of a senseless bond election, but since the county's bridges have been damaged by the storm to the extent of a few thousand dollars, he goes over to the bondsters bag and baggage. He asks not only for $60,000 for bridges, but $340,000 for roads. Supervisor Linebarger informed us the past week that our position upon road bonding was correct—that there existed no possibility of carrying the bonds before the state election. Linebarger wants bonds for bridges—in the modest amount of $200,000—and nothing for roads until after the big state bond issue shall have been passed upon in November. The situation resolves itself down to this: If the road and bridge fund is exhausted this early in the year, perhaps bonds for bridges could be voted; but taxpayers will demand to know what has become of the money so soon after taxes have been paid. But the amount asked by Linebarger, which he would use for bridges and their approaches, is altitudinous. The people will never vote $200,000 for this specific object. Yet difficult as would be the carrying of bridge bonds, road bonds would be harder. Orange county wants no road bonds until after the November election. If the state is to vote $18,000,000 of bonds for roads, let us pause for a moment before adding additional burdens of taxation upon ourselves, and then paying more taxes for the building of roads in other counties of the state. What has become of the road fund SMITH'S BILL CRITICAL San Francisco Paper District His Public-Domain Representative Smith field has introduced in connection with much parade of constituent bills to turn over to the water rights and privilege national domain now controlled ministered by the forestry. Mr. Smith explains less these rights already being states, which, if it were not seem to make his bill but perhaps he does not himself. He does not control these properties have been or unjustly administered estry service. It is only wants another kind of action Why? There is now, and has great many years, a concern of these water rights of the states, with what know. We know that it for instance, water rights of dollars, water should be public property alienated forever without compensation for their use other day a man in north nia took up all the wa Pitt river by the simple filing papers at the county Shasta. There is scarce in the state outside of this vice that has not been applied the same way. As long as California permits this pronouncement it is unsafe to tape bars put up by Gifford H Smith knows that if his become law every unapporter in the state would be free side of 24 hours. It would of public plunder. for good roads. The good-roads committee of the county road boosters, by a vote of 5 to 4, on Wednesday evening last, at a meeting held at Santa Ana, decided to present to the supervisors petitions already circulated asking that body to call a bond election. These petitions, it will be recalled, were in preparedness for the board at the time Dr. Dobson and Dr. MacMullan had their disagreement some months ago. They have reposed in seclusion until the present time, when, according to the boosters, they will be submitted to the supervisors in assurance from that body that three gentlemen personally acceptable, but who know nothing whatever about road building, shall be named as highway commissioners. Dr. MacMullan in a letter to the press last week asks for $60,000 bridge bonds, and $340,000 road bonds At $6000 per mile, this latter amount will give the county something like fifty miles of roadway. A main highway from the county's northern line to its southern boundary will eat up this amount. This matter of bonding the county for roads has been well threshed out the past six months, and just at a time when everybody considered it laid away for a long slumber, up jump the bond boosters again and by a vote of 5 to 4 decide to ask the supervisors to order an election. Our position upon these bonds is precisely what it has always been, viz.: Why bond this county for roads at this time, and be liable for taxes next November for building roads in other counties of the state? The state will next November vote upon an issue of $18,000,000 of road bonds. Do these obsessed road bond boosters realize what they are doing? Are they in their right mind when they ask voters to bond this county for roads, and then in November be liable to being taxed for support of roads in other counties? Is Orange county so rich that it can afford to issue bonds for its own roads, and then pay taxes on an $18,000,000 state bond issue for roads in other counties? OUR FROSTLESS BELT The recent cold snap again demonstrated the fact that Anaheim lies in the only frostless belt in Southern California. That the region surrounding this city is warmer than other localities was long ago pointed out by Dr. J. H. Bullard, then a resident of Anaheim, who in an article published figures showing the receipts of 49 municipalities in California, owning and operating public utilities in 1909. These utilities include water works, lighting plants and dockage facilities. The total receipts from the water works of 30 towns and cities, electric light plants of 11, and wharves and docks of eight municipalities, were $2,600,876.71. The total expenditures were $2,063,018.52, of which $799,260, represented the cost of operation. The report places Sacramento second in the successful conduct of its water system, with Los Angeles first. Biggs is the only filing papers at the county Shasta. There is scarce in the state outside of the vice that has not been applied to the same way. As long as California permits this publication it is unsafe to tax bars put up by Gifford H Smith knows that if his become law every unappropriate in the state would be fine side of 24 hours. It would of public plunder. The Call does not classify with these plunder mongrels is barking up the wrong playing their game. He of his own impetuosity crosses the bridge before San Francisco Call. MAKES A GOOD SERVICE Mayor Gaynor has made start in his new office. York newspapers are uniting that his appointment factory and that he has who are competent to fill and whose records are commend their selection payers of the metropolis nor said some pleasant Charles F. Murphy, the leader, but gave no office Tammany organization does not thrive on words little about promises. Wives for is results. With age, and plenty of it, powerless to "deliver the election time. Judge Gay great opportunity before monstrate to the country not in the control of the system which has plundered York. It is extremely his wish will ever be given he has a chance to make a name that will be a his children and that will beread as a synonym for And that's worth more President. KICKED THE WRONG ACTION A Milwaukee man and centently received a call friend whom they had no years. Just before they down to a little supper man style, the wife, selzable opportunity, whisper husband: "We have only tiles of beer in the houseough to go around. Don't have more." OUR FROSTLESS BELT The recent cold snap again demonstrated the fact that Anaheim lies in the only frostless belt in Southern California. That the region surrounding this city is warmer than other localities was long ago pointed out by Dr. J. H. Bullard, then a resident of Anaheim, who in an article published in this journal averred he frequently felt the warmer temperature hereabout when returning to his home from visiting patients in outlying localities. While Riverside, Redlands, Pomona and other contiguous points report frozen oranges and citrus trees during the recent cold snap, not a trace of damage was reported from the groves in this city and its surroundings. Not an orange was touched by frost here, and the mercury did not drop lower than 34. Again our pre-eminence as a citrus-growing locality is abundantly attested. While other sections suffered losses, our oranges continue to bring the highest prices in the markets. President Taft and former Senator Foraker have shaken hands over the yawning chasm which has until recently separated them. Foraker called at the White House the other day, and all past differences were forgotten. Has Foraker come over, or has the President gone over? On account of growing American interests in the Far East, and the difficulty of assembling the whole fleet as now constituted, the navy department has decided to divide the Pacific fleet into two separate fleets, to be known as the Asiatic fleet and the Pacific fleet. Senator Robert L. Taylor of Tennessee, while governor of that state, attended a Christmas eve banquet which extended far into the night, and when he went to his home he attempted to gain his room without awakening his wife. He was unsuccessful in this, however, and she called out through the darkness: What time is it? Just ten, my dear, he answered. At that moment the clock sounded two strokes. Did you hear that? It's two o'clock, said his wife. But, my dear, are you going to take the word of a nickel-plated clock against that of the governor of Tennessee? Santa Ana Lodge, No. 794, B.F.O. Elks, has received plans and specifications for a $30,000 clubhouse, to be built this spring on property on Sycamore street. The building will be three-story, of artificial stone and cream-colored brick, and 60x110 feet. The banquet hall will measure 34x57, exclusive of the stage. The clubhouse will contain eleven bedrooms for members. A Milwaukee man and recently received a call from friend whom they had no years. Just before the down to a little supper man style, the wife, seizedable opportunity, whispered husband: "We have only tiles of beer in the house enough to go around. Don't have more." "Very well," answered the who chanced to be thinking else at the time. Half an hour later the wife's consternation asked to take more beer. This was politely declined, but host did not desist. A caller was urged to den times he firmly refused had departed the wife to band to task. “What on earth made so? Didn't I tell you theyly three bottles? Why did upon his having more beer?” “Mercy,” exclaimed the“I forgot entirely.” But," continued the wife you suppose I was kickingthe table?” “My dear,” blandly repliedband, “you didn't kick me” A New Yorker whose bu him on the road says that the general breeziness is shared by the waiters taurants. A legal light of recently entered an eating was immediately approached ter, who observed cheerful deviled kidneys, pigs' feet brains. Have you? coolly lawyer. Well, what are blies to me? I came her SMITH'S BILL CRITICISED San Francisco Paper Disagrees with His Public-Domain Policy Representative Smith of Bakersfield has introduced in congress with much parade of constitutional law his bill to turn over to the states the water rights and privileges in the national domain now controlled and administered by the forestry service. Mr. Smith explains learnedly that these rights already belong to the states, which, if it were true, might seem to make his bill superfluous, but perhaps he does not quite believe himself. He does not complain that these properties have been unwisely or unjustly administered by the forestry service. It is only that he wants another kind of administration Why? There is now, and has been for a great many years, a considerable body of these water rights in the hands of the states, with what results we know. We know that in California, for instance, water rights worth millions of dollars, water rights that should be public property, have been alienated forever without any sort of compensation for their use. Only the other day a man in northern California took up all the water in the Pitt river by the simple process of filling papers at the county seat of Shasta. There is scarcely a stream on the state outside of the forest service that has not been appropriated in the same way. As long as the law of California permits this process of alienation it is unsafe to take down the ears put up by Gifford Pinchot. Mr. Smith knows that if his bill should become law every unappropriated river in the state would be filed upon inside of 24 hours. It would be an orgy of public plunder. January Clean Nuf Ced.

The New York newspapers are united in saying that his appointments are satisfactory and that he has chosen men who are competent to fill the offices and whose records are such as to commend their selection to the tax-payers of the metropolis. Mr. Gaynor said some pleasant words about Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany leader, but gave no offices to the Tammany organization. Tammany does not thrive on words and cares little about promises. What it strives for is results. Without patronage, and plenty of it, Tammany is powerless to "deliver the goods" at election time. Judge Gaynor has a great opportunity before him to demonstrate to the country that he is not in the control of the political system which has plundered New York. It is extremely doubtful if this wish will ever be gratified, but he has a chance to make for himself a name that will be a credit to his children and that will be remembered as a synonym for civic virtue. And that's worth more than being President. KICKED THE WRONG MAN A Milwaukee man and his wife recently received a call from an old friend whom they had not seen for years. Just before the three sat down to a little supper in the German style, the wife, seizing a favorable opportunity, whispered to her husband: "We have only three bottles of beer in the house—just enough to go around. Don't ask him to save more." WORKING THE BOY Jerome S.

"'Tired?' cried the father, looking up from his paper with an air of surprise and disappointment. 'Why I bet your mother a quarter you'd have the whole pile done before supper.' 'Did you?' shouted the boy, taking up his hat and mittens again. 'Well, you will win your money if the saw holds out. Nobody ever bet on me and lost.'
