NOTES FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL COLUMBIAN INDEMNITY BILL WILL FIND MUCH OPPOSITION IN CONGRESS INTERSTATE TRADE COMMISSION BILL IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SWAT AT TRUSTS Washington, June 20.—The national capital has been enjoying the delights of early summer, and the breezes have whisked through the "executive tent" in the rear of the White House, where the president of 100,000,000 people transacts the affairs of government, just as though there was nothing unusual about this habit, which for the most part has been heretofore indulged in by only the military branch of our government. Washington politicians are beginning to think a good deal about the elections that are coming along in a few months, and the proud gentlemen who whisk about in their automobiles and live in swell hotels where the high cost of living figures out about as much for a single dinner as a week's board in a local hotel in the interior of the country, are contemplating laying aside the silk hats and dress suits, preparatory to going into store clothes and fedora hats, which are more in favor among "the dear people" as election day approaches. There is something very pleasant about this job of being a congressman, and while it may not return as much revenue as the more wealthy men get out of private life, yet being a congressman is about as near heaven as a great many politicians ever expect to get, and therefore re-election is very much desired by the gentlemen now in the saddle. The house of representatives has of late years been able to keep the senate hopper well filled, and now it is passing on to an unwilling senate an interstate trade commission bill, along a year, while the rate for the entire Bell system is $30.93. Of course New York thinks it is abused—and so do the people of San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, and all other cities. England has been "averaging up" since taking over the telephones, with the result that outside of London residence rentals average $38.88, while business phones limited to 1,300 calls cost $43.74. London, Liverpool and metropolitan centers have lower rates in consequence. Independent of the larger issues involved in government ownership there is a good deal of talk among members of congress to the effect that there has already been too much of this sort of business that "equalizes" in favor of the cities at the expense of the rest of the country. And while following the story of rates at home and abroad the student of the question finds that while there are not nearly as many telephones in proportion to population in Europe as in the United States, that there is a good deal more profanity over there because of the inefficient service. The revised tariff has been in force for more than seven months. The figures available show that since the beginning of last October to the end of last month exports decreased $113,-012,555, in comparison with the corresponding period in the previous year. At the same time imports increased $23,625,493. As a result the trade balance for the seven months ended in April was less favorable by $136,638,-048 than for the same months in the previous year. This is a very large shift, but its significance is made more impressive when it is noted that last month alone the alteration in the relation of imports and exports compared with the April figures a year ago converted an export balance of $53,890,849 to an import balance of $10,271,872, a total change of $64,162,721 adverse to the United States. The recent overwhelming republican vote in Pennsylvania is due to the following democratic acts: "A tariff that has decreased exportations, increased importation of manufactured articles, a tariff for revenue that has produced a deficiency of revenues; the democratic policy of muddle-and-mar, foreign and domestic; fool attacks on business here and an unintelligible grotesque shuffling harm-strung spineless policy as to Mexico." NO DEFICIENCY IN TAXES More Than Fifteen Million Levy For 19 That no deficiency on tax on the various states will be levied this statement made by the equalization in announcing the 1914 state assessment. The total corporation to minor changes upon held previous to July 6 must be turned over to later Chambers, amounting 663.94, being the state rived from various corporate utility and otherwise productive property. The 1914 total given off of $638,092.14 over the tax This is an advance of cent. The increase this year one-third of that of last year the state legislature reporation rates over adopted when constitution No. 1 went into effect. In addition to the $13,609,663 to be secured present sixty-sixth fiscal public service and other estimated receipts heritance taxes, interest and other state revenue $1,500,000. This makes a total able of $15,109,663.94. As the legislature session in 1913 directed 900 be raised to run ther forthcoming years, sessment figures, given of equalization, show that will thus be provided, a valorem tax will be required. In fact, the estimate from other sources that taxes is rather low, and not only safe, but wide.

There is something very pleasant about this job of being a congressman, and while it may not return as much revenue as the more wealthy men get out of private life, yet being a congressman is about as near heaven as a great many politicians ever expect to get, and therefore re-election is very much desired by the gentlemen now in the saddle. The house of representatives has of late years been able to keep the senate hopper well filled, and now it is passing on to an unwilling senate an interstate trade commission bill, along with the other two trust bills that have the approval of the administration. The main Clayton trust bill prohibits interlocking directorates, regulates holding companies, and restricts immense monopolistic commercial practices. The interstate trade commission bill is in effect an enlargement of the already established bureau of corporations, which is a part of the department of commerce. With the enlargement of this bureau, it will become one of the greatest investigating branches of government that we have, and matters of tariff, including cause and effect, as well as business practices throughout the entire country, are to be comprehensively investigated. Perhaps the public may know, after having digested all these debates concerning the Panama Canal tolls, whether or not it is a fact that the United States is truckling to England. They may also have discovered the condition of Uncle Sam's national honor, and learned whether it has been kept unsullied. While the Panama Canal matter may have stirred up lots of feeling throughout the country, and have aroused all sorts of sentiment, yet those who allowed themselves to be carried far afield, threaten to balk at the ratification of the treaty with Colombia, carrying with it reimbursement to the tune of $25,000,000. President Wilson is sure that we should make the "amende honorable" to Colombia, and send along a draft on the United States treasury, while the opposite viewpoint is that Uncle Sam is being blackmailed. It is plain that there is going to be a beautiful racket before this treaty comes out of the senate of the United States. Following the enactment of the new tariff bill considerable attention is attracted to the importations of beef and corn from Argentina. Statists have figured out that the total imports of beef have been only three and one-half per cent of that of the supply in our own country. The corn shipments were even less when figured in connection with the whole supply. Therefore it has been made clear that the United States farmers are still holding their own, and that Argentina is not a real competitor. Zentaro Kawase, professor of forestry at the imperial university of Tokyo, Japan, has been making a tour of the national forests of this country to learn the government's methods of selling timber and of reforestation.

A JANUS HEADED The administration has end its double headache free tolls question, to get votes from the against ship subsidies, otherwise way to get the vote who would yield to them an issue of loyalty to the president, even at the preceding to England a quick importance without even diplomacy or arbitration issue. The purpose of thisition is still kept secret of the executive.

In the meantime the Pacific Coast will be large share of the advice they rightfully expected completion of the Panama Canal of finding that the nation can improve the shapes of the United States work has been done off foreign powers and that of the United States, burden of the half billion will derive no benefit eis merely incidental to shipping advantage of th WORK ON STATE Three million dollars' own country. The corn shipments were even less when figured in connection with the whole supply. Therefore it has been made clear that the United States farmers are still holding their own, and that Argentina is not a real competitor. Zentaro Kawase, professor of forestry at the imperial university of Tokio, Japan, has been making a tour of the national forests of this country to learn the government's methods of selling timber and of reforestation. The success of the parcel post appears to have inspired the postoffice department with the notion that there are more worlds to conquer, and Mr. Burleson is said to be impatient with anxiety over the fact that the program of the present session of congress has at no time included moving the "central offices" from which 10,000,000 telephones are operated into the sanctums of his postmasters throughout the country. Congress realizes that with so many wires in the air that the undertaking of government ownership of telephones may be a difficult problem to pull across. The postmaster general refers to the telegraph business as being of a "monopolistic nature," and says it is of "vital importance to the people that it be conducted by unselfish interests." Therefore he would acquire all telegraph and telephone lines. As might have been expected one of the first demands upon Washington in anticipation of government ownership has called for an equalizing of rates for telephone service, and it is pointed out that this policy which has been applied to the whole postal system, including the recent acquisition of the parcel post, should relieve New York of its average rate of $90 a year for business phones and similarly high residence rate, and distribute the burden of the cities throughout the country. Quite naturally telephone users in the big cities would welcome a system by which they could "average up" with the greater portions of the country, where $2 a month for residence service, and $3 a month for business phones, is the usual rate. The average rate for all phones in New York is $50 actions will be resented as it should be by the citizens of this government. The proverbial ingratitude of republics must not apply to these men. The compensation they received while in the very heyday of their lives, while in the fullest vigor of their faculties, was not a princely fortune. Many of them had families to rear. Many of them have not been able to save much from their meagre compensation for the almost inevitable rainy day. Some of them have become superannuated. To my mind it is a disgrace to our country that they have been thus thrust out, at an advanced age, on the very threshold of the grave, to fight the battle of life in competition with their fellow men. At best, their years will be few. Even if they were totally incapacitated, which they are not, it would be a fitting recognition of their past services to continue them in the public service until they peacefully close their eyes in death. "The few dollars that will be saved as the result of the discharge of these aged men will be squandered probably in some less deserving cause. But how can you assuage the sorrow, the grief, the pain, that must come to these old veterans when they are told that this great American commonwealth which they helped to save must throw them adrift in their declining days in order to make room for younger men." ANOTHER ATTRACTION We of California have finally added to our sum total of wonders a volcano. We have had the wonders of climate, of soil, of mountain heights, of big trees, of glaciers, of stupendous gorges, of cataract, of cloudless sky, of land-locked harbor, of desert sweep and placid lake. But heretofore we have had no volcano. We have had the evidence of volcanic eruption in great stretches of lava beds, with strange caves of ice and other manifestations of the mysteries of nature, but the real volcano was lacking. So in preparation for our visitors of fair year, we have ready a volcano. Mt. Lassen is offered to the world as one of our best attractions. WORK ON STATE Three million dollars' state highway bonds were state highway commission of this sale are to be contracts under way and the state highway commute the coming month. Ten dollars' worth of these been sold, and these with disposed of, this leaves lions to be sold. According to the report 500 and 600 miles of the been completed along the trunk lines. SHORT WEIGHT George McPhee, county weights and measures, Ted ed a box of butter shipped Ana by Klein Simpson FoF of Los Angeles. He will complaint charging the violation of the weights law. The butter was sent Ana Produce Company. at the store when the box It was marked "16 ounces" box was shipped as a 2 that is, containing 30 p butter. McPhee found that the was 29 pounds, and that about three pounds short butter. The sealer took at the store and put it in co be used as an exhibit in the case, should the sh trial. The butter was no sale at the store. NO DEFICIENCY IN TAXES OF STATE More Than Fifteen Million Dollars Is Levy For 1914 That no deficiency of ad valorem tax on the various counties of the state will be levied this year, is the statement made by the state board of equalization in announcing the total of the 1914 state assessment roll. The total corporation taxes, subject to minor changes upon hearings to be held previous to July 6, when the roll must be turned over to State Controller Chambers, amounts to $13,609,663.44, being the state taxes to be derived from various corporations, public utility and otherwise, upon operative property. The 1914 total given is an increase of $638,092.14 over the returns of 1913. This is an advance of nearly 5 per cent. The increase this year is less than one-third of that of last year, when the state legislature raised the corporation rates over the schedule adopted when constitutional amendment No. 1 went into effect. In addition to the total taxes of $13,609,663 to be secured during the present sixty-sixth fiscal year from the public service and other corporations, the estimated receipts from fees, inheritance taxes, interest on deposits and other state revenues are given at $1,500,000. This makes a total revenue available of $15,109,663.94. As the legislature at its fortieth session in 1913 directed that $14,908,900 be raised to run the state during the forthcoming years, the state assessment figures, given by the board of equalization, show that ample funds will thus be provided, and that no ad valorem tax will be required. In fact, the estimate of $1,500,000 from other sources than corporation taxes is rather low, and the margin is not only safe, but wide.

Mitchell of the automobile club. With a bond issue to work with Orange county is building many important connections. Notably among these is the long highway leading from Rincon through the Santa Ana Canyon, Anaheim and Cypress to Anaheim Landing. Two other new projects in Orange county which are of interest to all motorists are the routes leading from Santa Ana to Laguna and Huntington Beach. Orange county is rapidly giving motorists some splendid beach drives, which will appeal to all during the summer season. Among these is the connection to the county line of the road from Santa Ana to Long Beach. The Whittier road from the county line below Whittier through Orange is rapidly nearing completion. Besides these main arteries there are feeders from Olinda through Placentia and from Northam through Buena Park to the County Park. BEET SUGAR FACTORIES TO START EARLY The beet sugar factories of Southern California will start their wheels earlier than ever before this year, owing to the splendid rains and the remarkably good condition of the soil during the last months, which has caused a record-establishing growth of beets. About July 10, some factories will start making sugar from the rich beets, judging from the present advanced state of the beets in the field. An unusual amount of sugar is expected and the fields will yield abundantly in all probability. More sugar will be produced here than ever before, is the prediction, as the methods of cultivation have improved and there has been an increase of acreage in certain districts. No definite date has been set by the Santa Ana Co-Operative Sugar Company for opening this year's season, though it will be between July 10 and July 15. The foggy weather of the last two months has retarded the ripening of the beets, although nearly all have attained their size. The beets will need two or three weeks of good sunshine in order to thoroughly ripen. The co-operative people announce that they will have a splendid crop to harvest this season.

A JANUS HEADED VICTORY The administration has kept up to the end its double headed position on the free tolls question, facing one way to get votes from those who are against ship subsidies, and facing another way to get the votes of those who would yield to the president on an issue of loyalty to the power of the president, even at the expense of conceding to England a question of local importance without even seeking by diplomacy or arbitration to adjust the issue. The purpose of the administration is still kept secret in the bosom of the executive. Certainly in "ungrudging measure," the fate of the democratic platform and the shipping policy of the United States have been alike accorded to the presidency. It is to be hoped that President Wilson will not be disappointed in the bargain he has made. In the meantime the people of the Pacific Coast will be cut off from a large share of the advantage which they rightfully expected from the completion of the Panama Canal. Instead of finding that the nation has built this canal to improve the shipping advantages of the United States, it finds that the work has been done for the benefit of foreign powers and that the people of the United States, who carry the burden of the half billion dollar debt, will derive no benefit except such as is merely incidental to the general shipping advantage of the whole world. WORK ON STATE HIGHWAY Three million dollars' worth of the state highway bonds produced here than ever before, is the prediction, as the methods of cultivation have improved and there has been an increase of acreage in certain districts. No definite date has been set by the Santa Ana Co-Operative Sugar Company for opening this year's season, though it will be between July 10 and July 15. The foggy weather of the last two months has retarded the ripening of the beets, although nearly all have attained their size. The beets will need two or three weeks of good sunshine in order to thoroughly ripen. The co-operative people announce that they will have a splendid crop to harvest this season. The date for starting the season's run at the Southern California Sugar Company's mill also depends largely on weather conditions. Should there be much sunshine from now on the Santa Ana factory will open between July 15 and 20. Should there be a continuance of fog, however, beet cutting would not be likely to begin until the last of July. The Anaheim Sugar Company has fixed July 25 as the date for beginning on the beets but steam will be turned in on the 15th. ACCIDENTALLY SHOT Mary Garcia, 13 years old, a member of an old Spanish family of Ontario, is dead, and Dora Castro, aged 15, is suffering from a severe wound in the left arm as the result of the accidental discharge of an ancient shotgun in the hands of 10-year-old Ines Castro, a brother of the latter. The Castro boy is a semi-invalid, being nearly blind from cataracts on the eyes, and the story is the old one of the gun that was not loaded. The boy was lying on the bed in his mother's room and the girls standing at a dresser in the corner of the room when the gun was discharged. Practically the entire charge passed through the body of the Garcia girl, puncturing her lungs and liver to such an extent that she died Friday night at the hospital. The Castro girl is not thought to be in any danger; only a few straggling shots penetrating her arm. Probably no action will be taken against the blind boy. The accident occurred at the home of P. Garcia shortly before 8 o'clock Friday morning. Garcia is step-father of the Castro children and brother of Mary Garcia. NOT STRUCK BY AUTO As a result of some clever sleuthing by Under Sheriff Law and Marshal Linden, of Huntington Beach, the mystery of who was responsible for William Grate being hurt on the road in Huntington Beach last Saturday night is in a fair way to be cleared up. Grate claimed that an auto struck him, threw him in an insensible condition to one side of the road, and left him there. He claimed that the auto which struck him was of a gray color, and the officers hunted up every gray auto in town, and found that none of them could have been the one, if any, which hit Grate. Clarence Matthews, who was the man who found Grate insensible, said there was every grate before here than ever before. is the prediction, as the methods of cultivation have improved and there has been an increase of acreage in certain districts.

Ten millions of dollars' worth of these bonds have been sold, and these with the amount disposed of, this leaves but five millions to be sold. According to the reports between 500 and 600 miles of this road have been completed along the two main trunk lines. SHORT WEIGHT BUTTER George McPhee, county sealer of weights and measures, Thursday seized a box of butter shipped to Santa Ana by Klein Simpson Fruit Company of Los Angeles. He will swear to a complaint charging the shipper with violation of the weights and measures law. The butter was sent to the Santa Ana Produce Company. McPhee was at the store when the butter arrived. It was marked "16 ounces net." The box was shipped as a 30-pound box, that is, containing 30 pounds of net butter. McPhee found that the gross weight was 29 pounds, and that the box was about three pounds short in weight of butter. The sealer took the box from the store and put it in cold storage, to be used as an exhibit in the trial of the case, should the shipper stand trial. The butter was not offered for sale at the store. LEMON PRICES BETTER A few warm days in the east as well as warmer weather here has caused another decided advance in the lemon prices, and the highest quotations are not yet in sight. The best wrapped stock sold up to $5.25 per box last week while inferior grades also jumped upward. This is not nearly as high as prices last year, when there was a serious crop shortage, but it is a high price for a season when the crop is heavy, and will probably continue a record breaker, with the exception of frost years. The demand for lemons in the east is steadily turning to California-raised fruit, and this is helping to make the higher average market. Tangerines are about off the market. Grape fruit is barely steady. Fancy Valencia oranges show a slight increase instead of decline in quotations, as expected. The best are bringing as much as $2.50 per box. OPEN FOR TRAVEL The Santa Ana Canyon road to Riverside county is again passable to automobiles by making a detour to the north side of the river at Yorba and fording back again to the south side at Gypsum. Going from Orange to Riverside, the automobilist should leave the main road to cross the Yorba bridge. Continuing on the north side, the road leads through the Bixby ranch and down to the river at Gypsum, where it is fordable. From that point on the new road is in use. This route must be taken for some months, as the contract on section 4 of the Riverside road is to be let soon and the road above Yorba will be blocked until after section 5, which lies next the county line, is completed.
