Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. Has the Largest Circulation THE ASSESSORSHIP CONTEST Mr. Scott's figures of the assessment of Orange county are such as to commend him to the voters of this county. In three years he has raised the assessment $7,000,000. Add to this the raise of the state board of equalization upon real estate, and we have an increase of the assessment in three years of $11,750,000. This shows the normal increase, and it is manifest that none of the big taxpayers have escaped their just burdens of government. Indeed, many of them have been notably increased. The Pacific Electric railway, for instance, went before the county board of equalization asking a large reduction in its assessment, setting up the claim that its assessment was too high; but the board upheld Mr. Scott's figures, and his assessment of that corporation stands. The San Joaquin rancho, the Olinda and Brea Canyon oil fields, the Los Alamitos sugar factory and other large property owners have been largely increased, and these property owners have been more adequately assessed than during the administration of within his right; morally he was wrong. The votes of these clean men of the party will be in evidence at next week's primary. They will support a competent and efficient assessor, and vote for W. M. Scott, rather than for a man who blew hot and blew cold on Estudillo. RAILROAD COMMISSIONER The office of railroad commissioner is one of great importance. Theoretically, the commissioners are supposed to fix rates and to act as representatives of the people of the state. In their dealings with the transportation companies. Actually, up to the present time there has been no endeavor on the part of the railroad commissioners to carry out the work for which they are paid. It seems too plain to need demonstration, that if the commission can not do anything it should be abolished, as it is very foolish to pay public officials who have no functions. John M. Eshleman, candidate for railroad commissioner for this district, has demonstrated by several years in public life that he is not only a very energetic but an extraordinarily efficient public servant. His political enemies concede both his integrity and ability. He promises, if elected, to work conscientiously for the people's interest, and his whole past history shows that he will do it. Mr. Eshleman is thirty-four years of age and has been on his own resources since fourteen. He is a graduate of the University of California and when in that institution was considered the most brilliant man of his class. He has served as deputy labor commissioner, and as deputy district attorney of Alameda county, as member of the legislature from the MR.

WHY IS SO MUCH SPENT When Managers o ton candidate for th county board of equalization asking a large reduction in its assessment, setting up the claim that its assessment was too high; but the board upheld Mr. Scott's figures, and his assessment of that corporation stands. The San Joaquin rancho, the Olinda and Brea Canyon oil fields, the Los Alamitos sugar factory and other large property owners have been largely increased, and these property owners have been more adequately assessed than during the administration of any other assessor since the organization of Orange county. Mr. Scott has done his work well, and is entitled to, and we believe will receive, renomination for another term. Let the reader scan the figures of his assessment. Let him note the increases, and he will inevitably conclude, with us, that Mr. Scott has been competent, efficient and painstaking in his work. He ought to be, and we believe he will be, renominated. Another candidate for the office is Mr. Stewart, who has been vigorously campaigning for the place for many months past. Mr. Stewart's first appearance in Orange county politics was two years ago, at the time of the Estudillo indignation meeting at Santa Ana. He was personally unknown to nine-tenths of the men at that meeting, but his voice was raised in denunciation of the methods by which this man's nomination had been brought about. He denounced the pin to delegates who, ignoring their solemn party pledges and forsaking their party, sold out to the corrupt railroad machine which was backing this man. He inveighed against the county central committee for refusing to call primaries and a county convention, so that these traitors might be summarily dealt with. Stewart, in a word, "made good" with the clean men of the party, and he was honored for the sterling exhibition of his independence of character. The clean men of the party held him near to them, and the opinion was freely expressed that a valuable man had joined the machine-free republicans of Orange county in their endeavor to purge the party of corrupt railroad bosses. So far, so good. But when, a short time thereafter, Mr. Stewart was seen actually campaigning Orange county with Estudillo speaking from the same platform with him, the clean men of the party hung their heads in shame, at the thought that one of their number—a man in whose word they placed such implicit trust, and who many of them integrity and ability. He promises, if elected, to work conscientiously for the people's interest, and his whole past history shows that he will do it. Mr. Eshleman is thirty-four years of age and has been on his own resources since fourteen. He is a graduate of the University of California and when in that institution was considered the most brilliant man of his class. He has served as deputy labor commissioner, and as deputy district attorney of Alameda county, as member of the legislature from the Berkeley district, in which capacity he was the author of the Eshleman anti-racetrack gambling bill. In 1907 on account of falling health he went to the Imperial Valley and at the formation of Imperial county was elected as its first district attorney, which position he now holds. As a tribute to his faithfulness to the people of that section it is conceded he will get practically a unanimous vote from Imperial county. In addition every one of the ten newspapers of that county is actively and energetically advocating his candidacy. We believe that he will make an able and conscientious railroad commissioner, and we urge our readers to support him for the republican nomination. His platform pledges him to fairness to the transportation companies as well as an honest performance of the duties of his office, and not a man who knows him doubts but that he will fulfill his promises. A FINAL WORD A candidate for the assessorship has been going up and down the highways and byways of Orange county inveighing against what he is pleased to call "inequalities" in Mr. Scott's assessment. If this gentleman really had evidence of these inequalities, why did he not go before the county board of equalization and point them out? Had he done so, and proven his case, he would have been entitled to consideration at the hands of voters whose ears he has been assailing for many months past. Failing to do so, his arguments fail of their purpose. Failing to do so, the taxpayers of this county will not permit him to twist and distort facts in order to wriggle into office. It will not do. This gentleman has made the statement that the Los Alamitos sugar factory last year had a large quantity of sugar on hand which Mr. Scott failed to assess. The facts are these: Mr. Scott has the sworn statement WHY IS SO MUCH SPENT? When Managers omit ton candidate for the nomination for governor put the question last behind the other candidate error they pointed to more money is being present campaign that any gubernatorial candidate history of the state pointed out that Philip the only candidate we stand right out in the names and addresses backers consisting of citizens have been pamphlet form and thus trilted throughout the sands. Newspapers have $250,000 or more is best candidate Hiram Johnson 000 or more has been of candidate Curry; the campaign fund by Anderson, and it is on Stanton managers that campaign fund. Norures have been public fact they are widely used. Stanton's manager to secure an answer Who is behind the oare are now asking an oculal question: Why is amount of money being elect a candidate for California when the office 000 a year for four salary is all that they are titled to receive for governor? Hiram Johnson's rejection not such as to commute rank and file of the publicly refused to play to the republican ticket this year, unless he be he will not be nominated denied the published he supported Judge Mernor against Henry (2) that he supported Lane for governor again Pardee in 1902, and ed the machine-free republicans of Orange county in their endeavor to purge the party of corrupt railroad bosses. So far, so good. But when, a short time thereafter, Mr. Stewart was seen actually campaigning Orange county with Estudillo speaking from the same platform with him, the clean men of the party hung their heads in shame, at the thought that one of their number—a man in whose word they placed such implicit trust, and who many of them were prepared to follow in his crusade against political vice—had gone over into the camp of the enemy. These are facts of our political history. We charge Mr. Stewart, more than any other one man in Orange county, with being responsible for this man's election. Crawling through to victory by a paltry one hundred odd votes, when the normal republican majority in the Thirty-ninth senatorial district was 3500, Estudillo proved that more than 3300 republicans repudiated him at the polls. These men said, Let this man take his seat; but that a day of reckoning will come, let no man disbelieve. We charge Mr. Stewart, more than any other one man in Orange county, with being responsible for the defeat of the very men whose support he is now so vociferously soliciting. If we should be asked to place our hand upon the head of the man responsible for this, we should place it upon him and say, This is the man. It matters not that Stewart did not in so many words denounce this man and the method of his nomination, as he had done at the Santa Ana meeting. It was enough for him to be seen in his company, and campaigning with him throughout the county. The moral effect was the same. Legally he might have been ears he has been assailing for many months past. Failing to do so, his arguments fail of their purpose. Failing to do so, the taxpayers of this county will not permit him to twist and distort facts in order to wriggle into office. It will not do. This gentleman has made the statement that the Los Alamitos sugar factory last year had a large quantity of sugar on hand which Mr. Scott failed to assess. The facts are these: Mr. Scott has the sworn statement of J. Ross Clark, made at the time, that the Los Alamitos sugar factory had no sugar on hand at that time. Either Mr. Clark is guilty of perjury, which nobody believes, or the statement is untrue. Why was not this evidence, if any existed, brought out before the county board of equalization? The further statement that the Pacific Electric railway company owns a power station at Santa Ana valued at $50,000 which has not been assessed, likewise falls to the ground. This power station is included in the assessment of the road, at $10,000 per mile. This is the course followed in Los Angeles county—that of including power stations in the mileage assessment—and Mr. Scott has the approval of the taxpayers thereon. One is a part of the other. One is worthless without the other. Mr. Scott's assessment stands. It cannot be successfully attacked, or his reputation as an honest official impeached, by the man who blew hot and cold upon Mr. Estudillo. Mr. Jones called upon the gentleman who advertises to restore oil paintings and requested him to restore a valuable landscape which was stolen from him two years before. Hiram Johnson's report not such as to commute rank and file of the publicly refused to play to the republican tickle this year, unless he be he will not be nominated denied the published he supported Judge Merrill against Henry Tucker (2) that he supported Lane for governor again Pardee in 1902, and ed for Theodore Becker against James N.

CAHILL, DON'T YOU GET GAY The incredulous Mr. Cahill, writing in the San Francisco Call, scoffs at the registration in Los Angeles, and avers himself to be of the solemn conviction that it is quite impossible for Los Angeles to show more than 30 per cent more voters upon its rolls than has San Francisco for next week's primary election. Inasmuch as the total primary registration in Los Angeles exceeds that of San Francisco by nearly 50 per cent, Mr. Cahill will probably have recourse to another hitch at his trousers. To be exact, Los Angeles has 98,000 voters upon its rolls, while San Francisco comes along with some 67,000. Thus Mr. Cahill will see that Los Angeles has enough votes to nominate Mr. Stanton, and we assure him it will come pretty near doing it. With a registration of some 50,000 more votes south of Tehachepi, Mr. Stanton will have votes to spare, regardless of what's coming to him in the north, and there he will run well. Indeed, it begins to look like a landslide north for the Man of the Hour. Appearances indicate that Mr. Anderson is out of the fight, and Mr. Curry unable to proceed much farther under Mr. Spreckels' own steam. Mr. Curry was here this week, and he showed a noticeable list to starboard. The voters of the south know what kind of a deal they have been getting from the north, and there will be things doing here on Tuesday next. Let Mr. Cahill take that hitch at his A. P. A. trousers, but let him refrain from getting gay. WHY IS SO MUCH MONEY BEING SPENT? When Managers of Phil A. Stanton candidate for the republican no- Why Philip A. Stanton Should Be Our Governor Southern California Has Much to Gain by Electing the Man Who Has Done Much for Southern California. WHY should Philip A. Stanton be the next Governor of California? Because the people of Southern California are deeply interested in having a governor. Because Philip A. Stanton is the only Southern California man who seeks nomination at the primary election on August 16. Because there will arise many occasions during the next four years when the people of the southern counties will need to have a firm and true friend in Sacramento, whose interests are identical with theirs; who knows their needs, and who has had such experience in affairs of state as will enable him to gain their ends. Because Philip A. Stanton has served the people of Southern California in the legislature for eight her possibilities, with his firmness and his courage, and his force; should be in the Governor's chair. Because the work that is done then will stand for ten years afterwards, and if any Southern California man can now imagine Southern California as she will be ten years hence, he will know the necessity for having her interests cared for during this critical time. Because, as Governor, Philip A. Stanton will be in a position to see that Southern California is treated fairly and justly, that when the assembly and senatorial districts are re-formed, Southern California will get the share of representation she is entitled to. That when the equalization districts are re-formed, Southern California will be in no danger of receiving the sort of treatment given her by the present WHY IS SO MUCH MONEY BEING SPENT? When Managers of Phil A. Stanton, candidate for the republican nomination for governor of California, put the question last week, Who is behind the other candidates for governor they pointed to the fact that more money is being expended in the present campaign than in probably any gubernatorial campaign in the history of the state. They also pointed out that Phil A. Stanton is the only candidate whose backers all stand right out in the open. The names and addresses of Stanton's backers consisting of many hundreds of citizens have been published in pamphlet form and the pamphlets distributed throughout the state by thousands. Newspapers have estimated that $250,000 or more is being in behalf of candidate Hiram Johnson; that $125,000 or more has been spent in behalf of candidate Curry; that $75,000 is the campaign fund behind candidate Anderson, and it is openly stated by Stanton managers that $25,000 is his campaign fund. None of these figures have been publicly disputed. In fact they are widely admitted. Stanton's managers having failed to secure an answer to the question, Who is behind the other candidates, are now asking an even more difficult question: Why is such a huge amount of money being expended to elect a candidate for governor of California when the office pays but $10,000 a year for four years and this salary is all that the governor is entitled to receive for his service as governor? Hiram Johnson's republicanism is not such as to commend itself to the rank and file of the party. He has publicly refused to pledge his support to the republican ticket in California this year, unless he be nominated,and he will not be nominated. He has not denied the published charges that (1) he supported Judge Maguire for governor against Henry T. Gage in 1898,(2) that he supported Franklin K. Lane for governor against George C. Pardee in 1902,and (3) that he vot REPUDIATES JOHNSON PAPERS On the 29th of July Col. Theodore Roosevelt sent a telegram to Phil A. Stanton denying the assentions of the Lincoln-Roosevelt bosses and newspapers that he had sent Gifford Pinchot out here to speak for Hiram Johnson. He said: "I have refused to take part in this contest for the nomination for Governor, just as I have refused to take part in all similar contests. NO MAN REPRESENTS ME or has any authorization to speak for me in the matter, or in any similar matter concerning a contest for a nomination, and I wish to state, with all possible emphasis, that I am not taking part one way or the other, in this, or any similar contest for nomination." This did not satisfy Reformer Fremont Older of San Francisco, so he wired to Col. Roosevelt for further illumination. It came. It came bright and hot. Col. Roosevelt epxtained why he had to send that telegram to Stanton. It was on account of the trickery and lying of the "Johnson papers" in California who had insisted so brazenly that Gifford Pinchot was Roosevelt's spokesman and that Theo- HON. PHILIP A. STANTON. THE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION One word more about the state board of equalization. The present lines were laid out 31 years ago. Twenty-six years ago a constitutional amendment was adopted empowering the legislature to change the districts, and place them upon a more equitable basis. That amendment has ever since reposed in a pigeon-hole at Sacramento. Nothing has ever been done with it. Nothing will ever be done with it until we elect a governor from Southern California. There is so much that the people of Southern California have to gain through having Mr. Stanton in the governor's chair for the next four years, that it is beyond belief that the voters of the counties south of Tehachepi will go for any northern California man. And besides, this, it is a fact that has been well demonstrated, that Stanton is the one man among all of the candidates for governor who has demonstrated in his public career that he can accomplish those things the people want done. All of the others are loud in their promises to do certain things, but Hiram Johnson's republicanism is not such as to commend itself to the rank and file of the party. He has publicly refused to pledge his support to the republican ticket in California this year, unless he be nominated, and he will not be nominated. He has not denied the published charges that (1) he supported Judge Maguire for governor against Henry T. Gage in 1898, (2) that he supported Franklin K. Lane for governor against George C. Pardee in 1902, and (3) that he voted for Theodore Bell for governor against James N. Gillett in 1906. He does not deny his affiliation with the A. P. A. What kind of a republican is he, anyway? Yet he has the audacity to refer to republican newspapers which are not supporting him as "the poisoned press." The republican voters of California will "poison" Hiram on August 16th. Why are democratic papers throughout the State flaying Stanton? What business is it of theirs whom republicans nominate for governor? Do the bourbon papers oppose him because he is the only man who can bring all factions together in harmony and defeat Bell? Again, why do the democratic papers howl so lustily in favor of Johnson? Is it because Bell will have no difficulty in skinning him? Vote for Stanton and a Square Deal. By decree of court Mrs. Minnie A. Barton of Orange is Miss Minnie A. Farr. The decree followed the trial of a suit brought by her to annul her marriage in 1902 to Hiram A. Barton at Yuma. Annulment was asked on the ground that at the time of the Yuma marriage, Barton had a wife in Los Angeles, from which he was not divorced until six weeks after the Yuma ceremony was performed. BISHOP HAS WELLS SOLID Climbs Derrick In Response to Eater and Gets the Voters Clyde Bishop added another feather to his cap in the acquittal of Skelly in the superior court last week. Nobody thought Skelly was guilty, but that he had gotten himself into a hole nobody doubts. Bishop pulled him out of it, when his eloquence put the judge, jury and spectators in tears. Another story is told of Bishop this week which is not to his discredit as a campaigner. He was at the oil wells the other day, and a voter at the top of a derrick shouted to him, "Bring up your card, and I will vote for you." At the imminent risk of falling down and breaking his neck, Bishop climbed up the derrick and after giving the oilman his card almost talked him to death about the campaign and his candidature for the assembly. The oilman finally begged Bishop to let go, and Bishop reluctantly desisted, reaching terra firma in safety. They say Bishop has the oil wells solid. This did not satisfy Reformer Fremont Older of San Francisco, so he wired to Col. Roosevelt for further illumination. It came. It came bright and hot. Col. Roosevelt epxplained why he had to send that telegram to Stanton. It was on account of the trickery and lying of the "Johnson papers" in California who had insisted so brazenly that Gifford Pinchot was Roosevelt's spokesman and that Theodore Roosevelt was supporting Johnson through Pinchot. Here is Roosevelt's last telegram: Oyster Bay, N. J., July 30.—Fremont Older, San Francisco. It is simply nonsense to suppose that my statement has other than its face value. It is impossible to twist it and needs no supplementary statement whatever of any kind or sort. It was the statement in the Johnson papers that I had sent Pinchot to speak for Johnson, which rendered my statement imperative. I refuse positively to make any statement in favor of Stanton in spite of his past services in the Japanese matter, and it is equally impossible to make statement on side of Johnson, though I fully appreciate Johnson's attitude. All you have to do is to take my statement of yesterday and you can construe it in the only way it can possibly be construed. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Stanton's argument for Southern California, and the fact that only a Southern California governor can stop the unjust tax assessments Southern California is being subjected to by the northern members of the board of equalization, are making him thousands of votes.

NEW VARIETY OF WHEAT Experiments at the State Farm of Interest to Agriculture The University of California has been experimenting for several years with a large number of wheats upon the University Farm at Davis and at other stations with the idea of finding some new varieties which may suit the agricultural conditions in different parts of the state and possess higher yielding and better milling qualities than varieties now being grown. As a result of the trials TWO-AND-A-HALF-CENT PIECE The coinage of a two and a half cent piece by the United States government is urged in a statement given out by William R. Short, a New York banker, who declares the use of such a coin would mean a saving of $39,000,000 yearly to consumers. "The absence of such coinage," he says, "has resulted in the universal custom of the sellers taking the half cent whenever a transaction does not result in even money. I suppose it Experiments at the State Farm of Interest to Agriculture The University of California has been experimenting for several years with a large number of wheats upon the University Farm at Davis and at other stations with the idea of finding some new varieties which may suit the agricultural conditions in different parts of the state and possess higher yielding and better milling qualities than varieties now being grown. As a result of the trials on experimental grounds controlled by the University and in co-operation with many farmers, the University recommends the planting of Chul wheat (California No. 598), especially in place of Club and Chill wheats in the Sacramento valley, where the Chul has been found to meet the extreme conditions exceedingly well and is of excellent milling qualities. The University, in 1909-10, distributed 161,082 pounds of Chul seed to different growers and their reports have been uniformly favorable. Here are some: No. 1. Wooland.—Yield 12 sacks to the acre. Will seed again this fall. "I think it a very fine wheat. The north wind shrunk all grains except Chul." No. 2. Dixon.—Seeded in February. Yield 10 to 11 sacks per acre. No. 3. Crow's Landing.—Seeded early in January. Received only 1 1-2 inches of rain after seeding. Yield 16 sacks per acre. White wheat under same conditions made 12 sacks per acre. No. 4.—Seeded December 23. Yield 12 sacks per acre. Not so much pinched as other varieties. No. 5. Newman.—Seeded last of February. Yield 12.8 sacks per acre. Club seeded fifteen days earlier, gave 7 sacks. No. 6. Waterford.'—Seeded last of December. Yield 8 1-2 sacks per acre. Golden Gate Club under same conditions gave 5 1-2 sacks. No. 7. San Miguel.—Seeded December 15. Yield 31.6 bushels per acre. Propo yield under same conditions—26.6 bushels per acre. No. 8. Modesto.—Average yield 13 sacks per acre on land considered to be worn out for wheat. "Even at high price paid for seed it has proven to be the cheapest I ever put in the ground." Chul wheat originally came from the steppes of Russia, where it is grown without irrigation. It can be either fall or winter sown in California and still make a good crop. In The coinage of a two and a half cent piece by the United States government is urged in a statement given out by William R. Short, a New York banker, who declares the use of such a coin would mean a saving of $39,000,000 yearly to consumers. "The absence of such coinage," he says, "has resulted in the universal custom of the sellers taking the half cent whenever a transaction does not result in even money. I suppose it would be a safe estimate to say that each family loses the half cent on an average of 10 times a week, resulting in their paying $2.60 a year above the price of articles purchased. There are about 15,000,000 families in the United States, exclusive of the merchants, and figuring on the basis mentioned, they are losers yearly from this cause of $39,000,000."

Chul wheat originally came from the steppes of Russia, where it is grown without irrigation. It can be either fall or winter sown in California and still make a good crop. In its ability to withstand drought it is a strong rival of the Durum wheats. On three of the University stations it yielded in 1908 without irrigation, at the rate of 51 bushels per acre at one, 63 1-2 bushels at another, and at a third, with less than eight inches of rainfall, 63.3 bushels per acre. A reasonable amount of this desirable wheat is available for seed purposes this year by making application to the College of Agriculture, Berkeley. The board of supervisors has appointed Chairman G. W. Angle as a committee of one to confer with the highway commissioners to see if some steps cannot be taken to keep down the expenses of the commission and its engineering force. The supervisors last week went over the bills put in for the commission for July, and these bills footed up to about $1500. The supervisors feel that the expenses are much greater than they had expected they would be. If you are one of the 5140 republicans registered to vote in the primary, do not forget that Charles R.
