GOVERNOR JOHNSON AND THE PARCELS POST Governor Johnson in his address to voters here made the astonishing statement that the railroad commission, to which he refers as one of the crowning achievements of his administration, has saved the people of the state more than $9,000,000 in its reduction of railway, telephone and express charges. The governor lays the flattering unction to his soul that he and the railroad commission are one. "We have saved the people of the state this vast sum;" "We have done this," and "We have done that." are statements which he has made throughout his present campaign. Now, no voter in California denies that the railroad commission has done good work the past four years, but its members were elected on the republican ticket in 1910 as nominees of the republican party, and they were pledged by the republican platform of that year to do precisely the things which they have been doing during their term of office. The new railroad commission to be elected next month will continue this policy, and to say that the re-election of Gov. Johnson is necessary in order to maintain the railroad commission in its good work, is idle, malicious and unjustifiable. Its members were the nominees of the republican party, were elected by the republican party and the governor has nothing more to do with their acts than has any other man in the state. mary, which passed a republican legislature in 1908. He takes credit for the child labor law, for the 8-hour law, and for other measures, all of which were written into the statutes of the state years before he ever became governor. The governor may be able to fool some of the people some of the time, but he cannot fool all of the people all the time. Vote for John D. Fredericks for governor. AMENDMENT NO. 1 Governor Johnson praised himself and the progressives in his speech here by referring to Amendment No. 1, which separates state from local taxation, and by implication claimed credit for its enactment. Of course the governor had nothing to do with the enactment of this law. The law was written by John B. Curtin, and passed through the legislature eight years ago, and was adopted as a constitutional amendment by the people in the campaign two years before the governor became a candidate. If our readers will go back in memory six years they will recall the fact that this newspaper opposed this measure. We will again briefly state our position upon this amendment. Amendment No. 1 separates state from local taxation, placing a tax upon railroads and all other corporations for support of the state government. All other taxes, city and county, school district and other taxes are paid by the common people. How are all the public improvements of the commonwealth called into being? How do we build our school houses, high schools, primary, grammar grade schools; how do we build our city halls; how do we maintain our electric light and water plants; how do we pave our county roads? By bond issues of course. There are millions of these local improvement bonds outstanding in California. Neither the railroad company nor other stalwarts utilization was main wheeling odds, COUNTY'S FOR SUPERIOR UNquestionably qualified men in the important position is R. Y. Williams, didates whose name on the Orange county Mr. Williams because of an over-office but because of portunities of his county and much puraussion race. In doing so heavy pecuniary election, as he employs law practice the county.

It was not other stalwarts utilization was main wheeling odds, The new railroad commission to be elected next month will continue this policy, and to say that the reelection of Gov. Johnson is necessary in order to maintain the railroad commission in its good work, is idle, malicious and unjustifiable. Its members were the nominees of the republican party, were elected by the republican party and the governor has nothing more to do with their acts than has any other man in the state. There is not a man or woman in California who desires the abolition of the railroad commission, and the republican platform of this year pledges its nominees to exert their best efforts in behalf of the interests of the people. That the railroad commission has saved millions of dollars to the people of California in reducing arbitrary railroad and telephone rates is a matter admitting of no doubt whatever, and furnishes still another proof that the republican party stands today as ever pledged to uphold and protect the interests of the people of the state from corporate greed and domination. We have absolute proof in this city and county as well as in other counties of the state, that the people have benefitted greatly in these reductions of excessive railroad and telephone tariffs. But when the governor maintains that the railroad commission has saved the people of the state millions in reductions of outrageous express rates, he is not confining himself to the truth, and his statement will have little weight with thinking people. It was not the railroad commission which reduced these exorbitantly high express rates, but the United States government in initiating the parcels post system throughout the country. Those of us whose memories go back to the adoption of the parcel post system last year; will recall the fact that express rates were deeply cut, not only in California but in every state in the union, in order to meet the parcel post tariff. If memory does not fail us a number of express companies in the United States discontinued business, for they held they could not compete with the parcel post system adopted by the government. The governor might as well claim credit for the lowering of express rates in every state in the union, as to say that the railroad commission saved these millions in lower express rates to the people of this common office. How are all the public improvements of the commonwealth called into being? How do we build our school houses, high schools, primary grammar grade schools; how do we build our city halls; how do we maintain our electric light and water plants; how do we pave our county roads? By bond issues of course. There are millions of these local improvement bonds outstanding in California. Neither the railroad companies nor the other great corporations of the state under Amendment No. 1 pay one dollar of taxes in support of these bonds. They do not pay one dollar for these public improvements. These improvements—our school houses, city halls, municipal power and lighting plants, court houses and jails, poor farms, bridges and paved roads are all paid for by the common people, and neither the railroads nor the other giant corporations of the state pay one single dollar for their support. Does Gov. Johnson consider this a square deal to the common people? Moreover, Amendment No. 1 provides that if taxes so collected from railroads and state corporations are insufficient to pay the cost of state government, then the deficit is made up by additional payments on the part of the common people. Does not the governor consider this legalized highway robbery? He is welcome to all the credit he may claim for this law. Now, there are many good people in the state, among them Mr. Curtin, who believe the separation of state from local taxation furnishes the ideal means of raising revenue for the state and its political sub-divisions. They hold that the law is theoretically correct, but we hold that in practice it is a failure. If the railroads and corporations can be assessed in amounts sufficient to pay the running expenses of the state government, with no come-back on the common people to make good a possible deficit, the operation of the law may be good enough, so far as that particular feature is concerned. But what about the millions of dollars in local bonds outstanding in this state, and the millions upon millions of bonds to come for public improvements and betterments in the future? We opposed the law before it was written into the statute books, and we are still pursued that the old system of taxation is the better one. That was our position six years ago, and that is our small section where Angeles nad warate county organiza here a republican in his allegiance in the early days we can meant to be was trailing hope with never a sigh trough.

TRYING TO T Great effort, aptly by the Johnson to trick the people of Fredericks for goration of Messrs Spreckels. Ridicld of the Otis supply in Southern Caldericks' elective sturdy nominee oity in the state is personality and The critic who Fredericks will be or a "stool plague other person, beof Captain Fredd and entirely min will be governor of justice which meet the parcel post tariff. If memory does not fall us a number of express companies in the United States discontinued business, for they held they could not compete with the parcel post system adopted by the government. The governor might as well claim credit for the lowering of express rates in every state in the union, as to say that the railroad commission saved these millions in lower express rates to the people of this commonwealth. Such minor reductions as have been made by the railroad commission in express tariffs followed the wholesale reductions made by express companies throughout the nation. Let us be fair in discussing these political subjects. While we give all credit to the railroad commission for its good work, nominated and elected as its members were by the republican party, let us also give praise to the parcel post system for lowering express rates, not only in this state, but throughout the country. REPUBLICAN LAWS Governor Johnson takes credit for the enactment of many excellent laws which were written into the statute books of California long before he was ever thought of for governor four years ago. In his speech here he praised the operations of Amendment No. 1, which separates state from local taxation, and which constitutional amendment was written by John B. Curtin, the democratic nominee for governor, was passed by a republican legislature and adopted by the people of the state years before the governor was ever heard of out side of San Francisco. The governor likewise takes credit for the primary election law, while every voter in the state knows perfectly well he was nominated four years ago by the direct pri- LOOK YOU HERE, HIRAM JOHNSON You made the statement in your address here to the voters of our city that the percentage of increase in state taxation was less under your administration than ever before in the history of California. Did you mean to hoodwink the people, or did you take us to be such tall-grass idiotic fools as to believe this statement? The records show that the tax levy for 1910 under Gov. Gillett's administration, yielded $7,279,776. The record also shows that the state levy for the present year, 1914, under your administration, calls for $14,908,900. That is an increase of more than 100 per cent in state taxation. Do you solicit the support of voters on this record of your administration? Let the overburdened taxpayers, men and women of the state, answer. Do you mean to say, Governor Johnson, that this colossal tax bill, which is the greatest by many millions in the history of California, shows a less percentage of increase than in any former administration? Certainly you did not mean that statement; for it is not true. Why, then, did you make it? Fredericks' elector sturdy nominee in the state is personality and life. The critic who Fredericks will be or a "stool plague other person, best of Captain Freds and entirely minor will be governor of justice which what Johnson is deal fairly with.

Y. Williams, one of the four candidates whose names will be placed on the Orange county ballot in November. Mr. Williams is not a candidate because of an overweening desire for office but because he yielded to the importance of his friends throughout the county and permitted them, after much persuasion to enter him in the race. In doing so he consents to a heavy pecuniary sacrifice in case of election, as he enjoys the most profitable law practice of any attorney in the county. It is worth many times the salary attached to the judgeship and will have to be given up should he be elected to the bench. While Mr. Williams was born a republican and has always remained steadfast to the doctrine he first espoused, the office which he is seeking is non-partisan and his supporters are men and women of every political faith, who recognize in him the ablest attorney in the county, a man too just to be swayed in his decisions by politics, or warped in his judgment by personal prejudice. He is an ideal man for this position where wisdom and integrity are required. Mr. Williams is the dean of the Orange county bar. He was here when the county was born—when this small section was split off from Los Angeles nad was formed into a separate county organization. He came here a republican and never wavered in his allegiance to the party even in the early days when to be a republican meant to be a unit in a party that was trailing hopelessly in the rear, with never a sight of the fodder trough. It was due to himand a few other stalwarts that the party organization was maintained against overwhelming odds, that it gathered rank humbug to profess such. He must be judged by his works, and when we find him naming a dozen new judges in the state, all known to be allied with his party, it completely bowls over his protestations. Not only so but the man who disagrees with his views is immediately declared unclean and is violently assaulted in consequence. Citizenship is lauded as greater than any party, and with this declaration we find no fault; but the governor is not sincere, his actions disapprove his statements. For the citizenship not so affiliated he has little use, except as it becomes a subject of his abuse. MR. KETTNER'S RECORD We are in receipt of a lengthy communication from Mrs. Wm. Kettner, wife of Congressman Kettner, who understand, is his secretary at Washington, and who has returned to San Diego, in which are set forth a number of letters from democratic politicians in the east, and other gentlemen, commending his course during the past two years as representative from this district at the national capital. It may redound to Mr. Kettner's credit to have Secretary Bryan and other members of the cabinet, as well as other eastern democratic leaders at Washington, to endorse his action in sustaining the democratic administration; but we fail to see any endorsement from California citrus growers, walnut men, sugar beet growers, bean men, and other farmers of this district among the list of these distinguished democrats. The communication sets forth the alleged fact that Mr. Kettner has "made good" as Congressman and is entitled to re-election. We dissent therefrom, and state unreservedly that, in our opinion, Mr. Kettner's ambition to succeed himself as congressman should be defeated by the voters of the 11th congressional district. BUENA PARK ITEMS The Chamber of Commerce will hold its regular monthly meeting in the school hall on the evening of Friday, October 9. After the business session ther will be dancing and refreshments. The Eastern Star chapter entertained Norwalk and Anaheim chapters at a special meeting on Monday evening, Oct. 5. At this meeting seven new members were initiated into the chapter, Mr. and Mrs. George I. Thomas Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Weirbach and Mrs. Sam Little by initiation and Mr. and Mrs. James W. Bishop by affiliation. The work was exceedingly well done, after which an enjoyable social time followed, closing with elegant refreshments. More than 100 guests participated besides the local chapter. Tickets for the negro minstrel show to be given on Tuesday evening, Oct. 13, are selling like hot cakes. Rehearsals are in full swing, and it bids fair to be one of the social events of the season. All who enjoy a hearty laugh and good music should come out and lend their aid to this most worthy enterprise. The Ladies Mutual Aid, for whose benefit this affair is given, is a public benefactor in this community and moris liberal patronage. General admission 25 cents. Mrs. J. S. Rose has returned from the east and Mr. Rose is several inches taller, theoretically speaking, on account of the beautiful baby girl his wife brought home with her. Mrs. Rose went east some four months ago to visit her mother. Ed Kellenberger spent last Sunday in the Park visiting old friends. Miss Wanita Simpson spent several days the past week visiting in Los Angeles. J. F. Simpson has a banana tree in his yard which was frozen down to the ground two years ago, and is now about 20 feet n height, and has quite a number of large bunches of bananas on it. The fruit is not yet matured TRYING TO TRICK THE PEOPLE Great effort, apparently, is to be made by the Johnson campaign managers to trick the people into believing that the candidacy of Captain John D. Fredericks for governor is at the dictation of Messrs. Do Young, Otis and Spreckels. It is in spite of the Otis support that many of us in Southern California are advocating Fredericks' election, knowing that the sturdy nominee of the republican party in the state is essentially a man of personality and marked individualism. The critic who imagines John D. Fredericks will be a "proxy" governor or a "stool pigeon" for Otis or any other person, betrays gross ignorance of Captain Frederick's characteristics and entirely mistakes the man. He will be governor by his strong sense of justice which will lead him to do what Johnson is incapable of doing. MR. REPUBLICAN VOTER Why should you support Hiram Johnson for governor at the election next month, when he and his progressive machine disfranchised you and 200,000 other republicans two years ago, denying you the right to vote for Taft electors? Why should you support this man who bolted the national republican convention two years ago, denounced the republican party as corrupt and politically crooked, and when by the efforts of his newly organized party he made possible the election of a democratic free trade administration? Why should you support this man, now hysterically calls upon you to come to his assistance in his ef- OLD LANDMARK GONE One of the best know houses in the Spanish style in northern Orange county—the old Frank Emery mansion near Northam—went up in flames Sunday afternoon when a bonfire near the house caught the building and exploded a can of gasoline. The house, consisting of about thirty rooms, sat on a knoll, surrounded by eucalyptus and palm trees, to the west of the Coyote hills. The ranch has been leased to the Standard Oil Company and is one of the big producers in the county. Japs lease the agricultural rights for growing beets. The building was one-story, with a red tile roof and seven fireplaces. It was constructed twenty odd years ago, but for the past seven years had been Fredericks' election, knowing that the sturdy nominee of the republican party in the state is essentially a man of personality and marked individualism. The critic who imagines John D. Fredericks will be a "proxy" governor or a "stool pigeon" for Otis or any other person betrays gross ignorance of Captain Frederick's characteristics and entirely mistakes the man. He will be governor by his strong sense of justice which will lead him to do what Johnson is incapable of doing—deal fairly with all. Already, signs point to a unified front in the republican camp. The allegiance of Messrs. Keesling, Raiston and Belshaw to the successful candidate is pledged, and the acceptance by Mr. Keesling of the chairmanship of the committee of twenty in the north, to conduct the Fredericks' campaign to a triumphant finish, assures the polling next November of a much larger republican vote than was recorded at the primaries. Mr. Keesling is no Otis or De Young manikin, nor is he in any wise tarred with the old regime stick. He has a fine following in San Francisco, as his big vote attested, and his active participation in the campaign will have the effect of transferring this vote, in the mass, to Fredericks, assuring his election. In the south, a committee of fifteen is to be named, headed by as similarly strong a man of equally attractive individuality. The two committees will be chosen from a representative citizenship whose contributions to the campaign fund will be proof enough that Fredericks is the candidate of the best element of his party, in no particular a reflex of any little group of would-be bosses, but the chosen leader of the republicans of the entire state. In his "keynote" speech at Oakland the other day, Governor Johnson laid stress on his nonpartisanship. It is Taft electors? Why should you support this man who bolted the national republican convention two years ago, denounced the republican party as corrupt and politically crooked, and when by the efforts of his newly organized party he made possible the election of a democratic free trade administration? Why should you support this man, who now hysterically calls upon you to come to his assistance in his efforts for re-election? You should not do it. The republican majority in this state will be nearly 300,000 over the progressive strength. Stand by your colors, men and women of the republican party, and elect John D. Fredericks governor of California. Fredericks will be governor of this state when elected. He will take orders from no man or corporation, but will be the governor of the whole people. He has proved his capacity in the past. He placed the McNamara dynamiters in the peplitentary, and he made Clarence Darrow crawl weeping out of the state. Vote for Fredericks for governor, and defeat the man who disfranchised you and the republican party two years ago.

The ranch has been leased to the Standard Oil Company and is one of the big producers in the county. Japs lease the agricultural rights for growing beets. The building was one-story, with a red tile roof and seven fireplaces. It was constructed twenty odd years ago, but for the past seven years had been vacant. Much of the rich furniture had been removed in late years, but two planos were in the house when it burned. The place had been one of the landmarks in the district, being visible from the Santa Fe trains passing. No effort was made to save anything. The extent of the loss is not known. It is said that the owner gets returns from his oil royalties from the ranch of about $4,500 daily. Preparations are going forward for a big meeting of the Woodmen of the World here the evening of October 15, a week from today. A large class of candidates will be up for initiation and officers and team of La Fiesta camp will be down from Los Angeles to exemplify degree work. Other delegations from nearby lodges are expected, and the meeting will no doubt be a record breaker in point of attendance. A committee is working on the program, refreshments, etc., and promises something good to those who attend. District Manager J. W. Kennedy will be here and will present something of interest to the members. Bean threshing was resumed on the San Joaquin ranch Tuesday, the beans having dried out sufficiently. Reports from growers are to the effect that the beans suffered practically no damage from the recent showers. Baling and hauling of bean straw was also re- CHEER UP! Good Times are Coming!

Watson, a driver of an auto stage, was in court at Santa Ana on Monday on a charge of driving an automobile at night without having the rear light going. The fine was fixed at $3. Watson calmly reached into his pocket and drew out a number of bills. From them he took one and laid it before the judge. It was a $100 bill. "Heaven's sake!" said Justice Cox. "That's the smallest I have got," said Watson, and he showed the rest of the wad, which contained nine $100 bills. Driven to it, the justice did his duty. He went through his own pockets and got together the change, $97. It was a good day for fines. That is how the judge had it. He doesn't want hold-up men to get the impression that he carries $97 around with him ordinarily, for he doesn't. Few changes were made in Orange county pastorates by the M. E. Conference recently held at Pasadena. The appointments are: Alamitos, Rev. Q. P. Royer, Cypress-Stanton, Rev. C. P. Neptune; Anaheim, Rev. C. H. M. Sutherland; Fullerton, Rev. H. H.

ESTABLISHES RULE Porterville orange growers have received formal notice from Washington that the pure food bureau officials have put in effect regulations for the shipping of oranges in interstate commerce. This news will be received with great interest in the Porterville district. The government has established a standard test for acid and sugar in the oranges and the fruit must come up to the test before shipment will be allowed. The notice states that the test is simple and can be understood and applied by anyone. Government officials will be sent to Porterville in the near future to teach the method of testing to the growers and shipers. This is one of the outgrowths of the orange trouble of some three years ago, when oranges from Porterville and vicinity were rejected at Chicago as being immature. The growers appealed to the government to state definitely just what an imature orange was—and the authorities were stumped. This measure will be taken in order to insure the growers against a repetition of the trouble.

THE OLIVE AND ITS OIL The oldest fruit industry of California is that of the olive. At the San Diego Mission the first trees were planted in 1769, and from that point the industry has spread until there is scarcely a county in the state today which is not growing the olive. There are now in excess of a million and a half trees in the state. Florida has some 8,000 trees, Arizona a small number at the present time, but the industry there is rapidly developing. Besides these, three other states in the Union have less than 200 trees. As an indication of the possibilities for growth of this industry, the United States in 1913 imported 3,946,076 gallons of olives and 5,840,357 gallons of olive oil. The annual value of the Mediterranean output is $8,000,000 less than it was 50 years ago. The number of bearing trees in California in 1912 was 612,804, non-bearing trees 85,911.

TOBACCO IN ITALY Tobacco growing in Italy is permitted only by special license, and is under the control of the excise office. The plantations in this district are along the Brenta river near Bassano, where on an area of 1000 acres about 14,000,000 plants are under cultivation. The yield averages 1700 pounds, giving a return of $100 per acre to the grower. The leaves of the plants are counted, and, when matured and dried, have to be delivered to the officials at Carpene.
