THE STATE HIGHWAY With grade stakes set within a mile and a half of the southern boundaries of this city, and surveyors approaching hitherward at the rate of half a mile a day from their location two miles this side of Santa Ana, the state highway passing through this city may be regarded as a certainty. The surveyors are due to reach here some time next week and will continue the survey northward to Fullerton and thence beyond that city to the Los Angeles county line. There remains a short stretch of road northward from San Juan through the San Joaquin ranch to be surveyed, and this work will be accomplished by a party of surveyors now completing their work in San Diego county. It is probable the survey of the road through Orange county will be completed within a month, when specifications will be ready for the state highway commission to ask for bids for the construction of the highway. This action may be taken by the state commission at its meeting in November, but it may be delayed until the following month. Active work upon construction of the road through Orange and San Diego counties will in all likelihood begin early in the new year, and the highway completed during the coming summer. The inland route through this city thus takes precedence over the shoreline boulevard, and the foothill line from Los Angeles to Riverside as well. These roads will This action may be taken by the state commission at its meeting in November, but it may be delayed until the following month. Active work upon construction of the road through Orange and San Diego counties will in all likelihood begin early in the new year, and the highway completed during the coming summer. The inland route through this city thus takes precedence over the shoreline boulevard, and the foothill line from Los Angeles to Riverside as well. These roads will come up for consideration later, but the route now being surveyed through this county and San Diego will be the first highway constructed in Southern California. That ought to look good to road boosters hereabouts. It is now up to the people of this city to take immediate steps for the paving of Los Angeles and other thoroughfares here. This work will require several months, and a beginning should be made to the end that our roads may be paved when the great tide of travel settles down upon the state highway. This state road will undoubtedly prove to be one of our greatest natural assets. It is destined to become one of the most historic highways in the world. We should therefore see to it that our city streets are paved to connect with it properly, and to that end citizens and municipal authorities should take up the matter of this civic improvement forthwith. The road will undoubtedly prove to be the greatest factor in the upbuilding of this entire section. It means much to every taxpayer in the community. It will tend greatly to enhance the value of our property. It will be the means of bringing thousands of people to this county who might otherwise never have occasion to come hither. They will see the many opportunities and advantages offering in this wonderland of the south. We should set our streets in order to make favorable impressions upon them.

Judge Shanley came down town Monday morning having a bad cold and words of criticism for the darkened condition of Lemon street Saturday night. The arc light at the corner of Santa Ana street was out, as frequently happens, he says, and in the Stygian darkness he was compelled to wade through pools of water as a result of the rain. He is more than ever determined to put Lemon street on the map, and will redouble his efforts to have that thoroughfare paved. He will also exercise his pull with the city authorities to have arc lights on that street trimmed and burning, especially when rains make the street almost impassable.

TAFT'S EPITOMIZED PLATFORM More effective than any plank in the Republican platform, more convincing than any other argument that he could make to the voters, is the statement made by President Taft that the chief question the country must decide is whether it is safe to make a change in the White House at a time when we are entering upon a new era of prosperity. It would be difficult for the president to frame a better platform for his campaign than is implied in that part of his statement wherein he says: "Crops are bumpers, and conservative business interests throughout the country are thriving under tried conditions which permit a share in the prosperity which will continue unless there is a change to frighten off capital or bring about just such disturbing conditions as the tariff bills I vetoed might have brought about. I vetoed those bills because I was convinced they would disastrously disturb business conditions in the country." From the president's standpoint, no better argument could be made for the continuance of the present administration in power. Neither Colonel Roosevelt nor Governor Wilson is making any references to the great wave of prosperity which is sweeping over the country. The steel mills are working full time; all other mills are working to capacity; the railroads at last are making extensions, and the crops give promise of being phenomenal. Mr. Taft makes a strong point in his argument that the low tariff bills submitted to him at the last session of Congress might have halted the prosperity that is rapidly spreading. Had he signed the tariff bills, and had many mills closed as a result, with thousands of men thrown out of work, his would have been the responsibility, and he would have been held to account by the public. The president, therefore would be well within his rights if he claimed more credit than he does. There were those who held some months ago that the president would have shown better political judgment by signing the Democratic bills and letting the country take the consequences. Such a course might have put the country in a frame of mind where it would have turned naturally to the Republican party for relief. of 1 per cent a month, nothing down. may be taken by paying 10 per cent down, a month, or paid-up preferred stock at $120.00 less.

PETERMANN CASH GROGERY Contractor Chamberlain feels that he was unjustly dealt with as a result of doing all in his power to assist in subduing the fire which destroyed the warehouse of the Pacific Vegetable Union two weeks ago. Mr. Chamberlain had just returned from a lodge meeting at Buena Park with a party of gentlemen friends when he beheld the fire and one of them turned in the alarm. He drove to the city hall, and hauled the hose cart part of the way to the fire, when the rope became un-tied, and a passing vehicle picked up the hose cart and hauled it to the fire. Mr. Chamberlain did all in his power to assist in subduing the flames and when the blaze was under control he started to drive home. Feeling that the rubber tires of his auto would not injure the hose line in his way, he drove over it, and paid a fine of $5 in court the next day. He yielded up the money gracefully, saying that he has a high regard for the majority of the city ordinances, in such cases made and provided.
