WHY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SHOULD NAME THE NEXT GOVERNOR Members of the Stanton Campaign Committee are frequently asked why, composed as it is for the most part of business men who do not ordinarily take an active interest in politics, such insistence is laid upon the nomination of Hon Philip A. Stanton of Los Angeles as the Republican candidate for Governor. In answer the members say that aside from the ample fitness of Mr. Stanton for the high office there are most excellent business reasons why every Southern Californian, having the great and growing interests of this part of the state at heart, should not only favor, but should exert every effort to have him nominated and elected. Some of the principal of these reasons follow: The governor is a powerful factor in the government of the state. He has the veto power, and his influence upon legislation is no less important than that of the legislature itself. Within the term of the next governor the state will be redistricted as to assembly, senatorial and congressional districts, and (if Stanton is Governor) as to equalization districts, upon the basis of the census of 1910. The importance to Southern California of the form that this redistricting will take cannot be overestimated. Under the Constitution of the state there can be but forty senatorial districts, with forty senators, and eighty assembly districts, with eighty assemblymen. Necessarily, with the phenomenally rapid growth of phatically "made good" in every relation in life in which he has been placed, and we claim that he is the peer of every one of his competitors in their most meritorious characteristics. He has served eight years in the general assembly, advancing steadily from one position to another until he became chairman of the committee on ways and means and then speaker. We claim that he is a practical reformer, and not a rainbow chaser, and that his name and influence are connected with all the principal reform measures that have been enacted during the past eight years, including the anti-racetrack law and the direct primary act. We claim that he is a good financier and publicist. Mr. Stanton is the author of the present California banking law, which is recognized by bankers as one of the best in operation in the United States. ANOTHER RAISE COMING State Board of Equalization Ready for Another Jolt Sacramento, July 30.—That there will be some raising of county assessments valuations again this year is apparent from the tabulations just made of the returns of the state board of equalization. After the board had finished its work last year, and made sensational increases, the total was something over $2,316,000,000. This year the returns from the county assessors are about $82,000,000 short of that amount. Most of the shortage is in Los Angeles. Members of the board will not say whether they will raise the assessors... The importance to Southern California of the form that this redistricting will take cannot be overestimated. Under the Constitution of the state there can be but forty senatorial districts, with forty senators, and eighty assembly districts, with eighty assemblymen. Necessarily, with the phenomenally rapid growth of Southern California the redistricting should result in a greatly increased representation in the legislature from this part of the state. On the basis of the census of 1900 our representation is now numerically weak in the legislature, we having but 9 senators, from Santa Barbara to the Mexican line, as against 31 north of Tehachepi, and but 16 assemblymen as against 64 in the north, and in securing a just apportionment of senators and assemblymen under the new census we may need the powerful backing of the governor who may veto any bill that fails to meet with his ideas of justice. The matter of redistricting is made even more pointed at a glance at the equalization districts as now constituted. Our weakness was illustrated to our cost last year when the assessments of Ventura county were doubled by the board of equalization; those of Los Angeles county were increased 40 per cent and other southern counties were advanced by the state board of equalization, as we think, unreasonably. Although the assessed valuation of this (the fourth) district is nearly equal to those of the other three districts combined, our Southern California representation is confined to one member out of five, there being four districts, and the state controller being ex-officio a member. The following are the figures of assessed value in the four districts taken from official reports: First District (San Francisco), is $539,487,000; Second district (including Alameda county) $399,011,000; Third district, $300,718,000; Fourth district, $1,202,766,000; total, $2,441,982,-000. It will be noted that the Fourth district, which covers the entire southern and central part of the state, is assessed at nearly one-half the amount of the entire state. It will be seen that in equity the territory covered by the Fourth district should embrace two districts and two members of the board. With a strong man as apparent from the tabulations just made of the returns of the state board of equalizaton. After the board had finished its work last year, and made sensational increases, the total was something over $2,316,000,000. This year the returns from the county assessors are about $82,000,000 short of that amount. Most of the shortage is in Los Angeles. Members of the board will not say whether they will raise the assessors' figures this year or not, but it is probable they will do so. Alameda is more than $11,000,000 behind the assessment of 1909; Los Angeles, is $77,000,000; San Francisco, is $25,000,000; Tulare, is $4,000,000. Sacramento county shows an increased valuation of more than $3,000,000, and Butte, Contra Costa, Del Norte, Fresno, Glenn, Imperial, Kern Lassen, Madera, Mendocino, Merced, Marin, Modoc, Napa, Placer, San Benito, San Bernardino, San Diego,Santa Clara, Stanislaus, Tehama and Tuolumne counties show increases made in the assessors' figures. Of these three, San Diego, San Bernardino and Imperial are from the south, the rest being north of the Tehachepi Mountains. Following are the figures in detail for the southern counties and the larger counties north: | County | State Board Figures for 1909 | Assessors' Figures for 1910 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Alameda | $206,738,138 | $195,382,424 | | Fresno | 57,673,526 | 59,129,996 | | Humboldt | 29,350,436 | 29,149,127 | | Imperial | 7,168,146 | 9,402,856 | | Inyo | 4,077,925 | 4,211,600 | | Kera | 38,132,094 | 45,454,581 | | Kings | 11,509,103 | 11,519,764 | | Los Angeles | 585,482,894 | 512,097,139 | | Monterey | 25,034,521 | 24,424,964 | | Orange | 29,219,155 | 27,783,810 | | Riverside | 26,160,094 | 22,211,965 | | Sacramento | 55,702,410 | 58,647,730 | | San Bernardino | 32,738,795 | 36,967,730 | | San Diego | 35,316,219 | 41,991，116 | | San Francisco | 539，093，665 | 514，402，685 | | San Joaquin | 45，988，901 | 45，489，162 | | Santa Barbara | 29，137，443 | 27，678，125 | | Santa Clara | 69，908，351 | 71，087，225 | | Sonoma | 33，228，445 | 33，821，845 | | Tulare | 36，546，478 | 32，407，385 | | Ventura | 22，188，720 | 22，794，671 | SUGAR BEET CULTURE Continued from Page One city of the factory can be increased by the installation of additional machinery up to 1200 tons per day. At the present time there is absolute assurance that a sufficient acreage will be contracted to produce at least 60.ooo tons of beets for the campaign of 1911. There are thousands of ac It will be noted that the Fourth district, which covers the entire southern and central part of the state, is assessed at nearly one-half the amount of the entire state. It will be seen that in equity the territory covered by the Fourth district should embrace two districts and two members of the board. With a strong man as governor, such as we know Mr. Stanton to be, we might anticipate that no redistricting bill that failed to be just to his part of the state would meet his approval, nor would we desire him to be, unjust to any part of the state. All that we desire is exact justice for Southern California and that can wrong no other section, but he is the only candidate who has declared himself in favor of such a redistricting. The claim of the south to the republican nomination for governor this year is strengthened by the fact that the south elceted both of the last two republican nominees for governor, after they had been defeated so far as the remainder of the state is concerned. Both were elected by the counties south of Tehachepi, which overcame the adverse vote in the north and gave each of them a good majority beside. Is it not just that after electing the republican governor several terms, Southern California should now be accorded the privilege of naming the republican nominee? As to Mr. Stanton's personality and fitness for the place, most of us have known "Phil" Stanton from his boyhood. He came here a poor lad and without advantages or "pull" of any kind, and what he is today he has made by his own sterling merits and his indomitable will. He has em- SUGAR BEET CULTURE Continued from Page One city of the factory can be increased by the installation of additional machinery up to 1200 tons per day. At the present time there is absolute assurance that a sufficient acreage will be contracted to produce at least 60,000 tons of beets for the campaign of 1911. There are thousands of acres of undeveloped beet land in Orange county, so that there will be for years to come an ample supply of beets for every factory operated in this section. The only sugar factories in the United States that have not been a business success, are those where the supply of beets has been inadequate. This condition cannot occur here. While this is a country of orange groves, yet the thousands of acres of land that produce sugar beets are not suitable lands for the cultivation of trees. Therefore, if every acre of land that is suitable for orchards should be used for that purpose, it practically would not at all interfere with the cultivation of the crop of sugar beets. The factory of the Anaheim Sugar Company will be located just north of the city limits of Anaheim, and have railway connections with both the Southern Pacific railway and Santa Fe, and the acreage now being signed for sugar beets is all within a short haul, so that the average freight rate paid by this company on shipping beets will be as low, if not lower, than any other factory in Southern California. So Bronson doesn't play on your ball team any more? No; he's married, settled down and is the father of twins. I see; he has a bawl team of his own. ANAHEIM GAZETTE KEESLING OF THE NORTH The South Salutes the Next Lieutenant-Governor of California Hon. Francis V. Keesling of San Francisco, candidate for the republican nomination for lieut.-governor, was in town on Tuesday meeting his friends and supporters here. Mr. Keesling has the solid support of the north, and will probably have the solid support of the south. A man who smilingly goes through life distributing goodwill and personal favors and does his full duty by his state and city, even at a personal sacrifice, is entitled to the respect, admiration and support of every voter. Mr. Keesling has been a success from his youth. As a boy in the San Jose high school, he was the leader of his class and fraternity and was selected to represent his high school in a debate against the students from the state normal school, in which he was successful. His four years of college life at Stanford endeared him to the students as well as professors. After graduating he repaid his debt of gratitude to the University through untiring work in passing through the legislature and by the votes of the people, an amendment to the state constitution exempting the Stanford University from taxation. He did this at a personal sacrifice for he had no means and the work was without compensation. At the time of the big fire, Mr. Keesling was the major of the first battalion coast artillery. The relief work done by the first artillery was surpassed by none and gained the admiration of all.

He did this at a personal sacrifice for he had no means and the work was without compensation. At the time of the big fire, Mr. Keesling was the major of the first battalion coast artillery. The relief work done by the first artillery was surpassed by none and gained the admiration of all. Mr. Keesling is the only candidate for lieutenant governor in Northern California; his three opponents reside in Los Angeles. If you vote for him at the primary, to be held on August 16th, his future actions as a citizen and state officer will justify your vote. He has a strong personality and is thoroughly sincere and possesses sound and keen judgment. The present lines of the state board of equalization were drawn 31 years ago. The constitution says the legislature "may" change them after each federal census. There is nothing mandatory about it, and unless we have a governor from the south we may have the same infamous lines ten years longer. The time for a Square Deal has arrived.
