FIGURES SHOW JONNSON WAS EXPENSIVE HIS ADMINISTRATION COST THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA $12,000,000 MORE THAN GILLETTS' THE HOLIER-THAN-THOU GOVERNOR'S NON-PARTISAN CLUB LIST PROVES TO BE A FAKE Comparative figures of the cost of maintaining the state government of California during the last sixteen years just compiled for the republican state central committee, show that the legislative cost of supporting Governor Hiram W. Johnson and his state political machine in the last four years, exclusive of automatic appropriations for the public school system, has reached the enormous total of $36,452,777.45. These figures are taken from official records in the state controller's office and legislative appropriations in 1911 and 1913, approved by Governor Johnson. California legislative expenditures for the last sixteen years have aggregated $92,537,577.78, and of this sum Governor Johnson and his machine are responsible for 39.3 per cent in only four years. The legislative outlays of the 1913 session made under Governor Johnson's approval aggregated $20,140,628.79. From 1911 to 1913, which included the regular 1911 legislative session and the special session late in 1911, the afforded. On examination, however, the list reveals an amazing divergence from chemically pure political procedure inasmuch as a considerable number of the persons mentioned therein as members of the "vigorous, non-partisan club" were unaware of its existence until the matter was called to their attention. Further discovery also is made that the published list contains the names of men and women not listed in the Los Angeles city directory. On closer examination still the interesting fact is disclosed that certain members of the club are in the employ of Edwin T. Earl. Others are listed who., until recently, have been in the hire of the progressive boss of Southern California. Publication of the list has caused indignation among Republicans, who resent the larceny of their names in a despairing effort to keep the Johnson machine on the track. 60,000 CASES OF CHILIS ORANGE COUNTY'S CROP Ventura Coming Into Prominence as a Citrus Growing Section The wonderful Yertility and the great variety of products of the soils of Southern California are facts not half known to the world in general. Orange county will market 60,000 cases of chiles during this fall, worth $300,000. From the same region will go 20,000 cases of pimentos worth $100,000. The chiles noted above all go in their natural condition, but besides there will go 750 tons of the vegetable dried, worth $150,000. Who outside of California would suppose that this condiment one little section of one county would produce a total worth nearly a half million dollars? Ventura county is the great place for the production of lima beans. One grower ultimately comes to Sacramento to that new crop oranges vow from Oroville in Kentucky citrus fruit from Southern California.

Chamberlain tor of the C The board met p ment on October and the clerk press The contract for ers in the court h California legislative expenditures for the last sixteen years have aggregated $92,537,577.78, and of this sum Governor Johnson and his machine are responsible for 39.3 per cent in only four years. The legislative outlays of the 1913 session made under Governor Johnson's approval aggregated $20,140,628.79. From 1911 to 1913, which included the regular 1911 legislative session and the special session late in 1911, the appropriations totaled $16,311,598.66. Compared to this extravagance with public money is the record of former Governor James N. Gillett, immediate predecessor of Governor Johnson, who served as executive from 1907 to 1911. Under his administration legislative expenditures were $24,776,077.77, or $11,686,159.68 less than those of the present regime. From 1907 to 1909 the expenditures under Gillett were $11,354,364.27 and from 1909 to 1911 they were $13,411,713.50. Johnson's percentage increase in legislative expenditures for four years over Gillett's according to these figures, is 48.8 per cent. Comparative figures similarly applied to legislative disbursements from 1903 to 1907 under Governor Pardee's administration serve to substantiate the claim that Johnson's regime has been characterized by extravagance. These give the expenditures under Pardee in four years as $18,855,142.15, or $17,597,085.30 less than for a similar period under Johnson. Under Governor Gage, the predecessor of Pardee, the total legislative expenditures were $12,216,530.40, or $24,235,697.04 less than under Johnson. Comparative legislative expenditures for each legislative session during the last sixteen years as compiled from the state controller's records show the following: Appropriations Governor Gage:— General Special Total 1899 $ 5,056,944 $ 762,219 $ 5,819,164 1900 34,695 34,695 1901 5,047,467 1,315,204 6,362,671 Governor Pardee:— 1903 5,470,996 2,050,613 7,521,653 1905 7,376,052 2,592,381 9,968,433 1906 1,365,055 1,365,055 Governor Gillett:— 1907 8,305,164 3,026,613 11,331,777 1907 22,587 22,587 1909 9,686,575 3,720,338 13,406,913 1910 1,500 1,500 1899 $ 5,056,944 $ 762,219 $ 5,819,164 1900 34,695 34,695 1901 5,047,467 1,315,204 6,362,671 Governor Pardee:— 1903 5,470,996 2,050,613 7,521,653 1905 7,376,052 2,592,381 9,968,433 1906 1,365,055 1,365,055 Governor Gillett:— 1907 8,305,164 3,026,613 11,331,777 1907 22,587 22,587 1909 9,686,575 3,720,338 13,406,913 1910 1,500 1,500 1910 3,300 3,300 Governor Johnson:— 1911 10,870,850 5,440,748 16,311,598 1911 247,600 247,600 1913 12,999,660 7,140,968 20,140,628 $64,813,708 $27,723,869 $92,537,577 Making votes for Johnson simply by consulting the directory for names is an expedient of the progressives brought to light in Los Angeles. Recently there was launched a "vigorous, non-partisan club" whose purpose it was to save California by perpetuating the Johnson machine. "Citizenship above party" is its slogan and its purpose is to enroll as members, not progressives, but all republicans and all democrats, whose names would lend prestige and inclose parties as would make it appear Johnson is the Pled Piper of California, with all citizens of the state (of voting age) following him. The chief evening organ of the progressive machine in Los Angeles devoted in a recent issue two thirds of a column to boosting this righteous uprising of nonpartisanship. In this article half the space is taken up with a list of names of those who, it is made to appear, have sunk partisanship in Johnson patriotism. In this list, made to appear as a preliminary roster of casualties in the republican and democratic parties there are about seventy names whose owners are heralded as converts to non-partisanship, which consists in voting for Johnson whenever opportunity is ANAHEIM GAZETTE ultaneously comes the statement from Sacramento that the first carload of new crop oranges went out October 6 from Oroville in Butte county. Another citrus fruit that does well in Southern California is the grapefruit. Heretofore the California product has taken a second place after that of Florida, a seedless grapefruit, but now California is to compete with the eastern peninsula on equal terms, as A. T. Currier, a ranchman of Spadra, is shipping the finest kind of seedless grapefruit from his ranch. The planting of citrus fruit trees continues at a rapid rate. During the year in Ventura county 106,910 new lemon trees have been planted, and 40,327 new orange trees. There are 350,000 citrus trees in seed beds in the county. In the same county during the year there were planted 94,605 apricot trees and 12,699 walnut trees. The number of miscellaneous deciduous and ornamental trees planted in the county during the year rises to a total of 205,660. There are now a total of 225,010 bearing lemon trees in that county, 179,300 non-bearing; 68,812 bearing orange trees and 159,841 non-bearing. The bearing apricots number 178,334 and the non-bearing 212,245, while the walnut trees number 70,810 bearing and 132,350 non-bearing. No one need be scarred at the prospect of too much fruit.

SHUT DOWN REDUCES THE OIL OUTPUT Local Field Only One Showing Increase During Month The extent of the shut down movement may be gauged from the statistics of the Independent producers' Agency, covering that period, which show a total of 25,000 barrels shut in, compared with 16,000 the previous month. This means that about one-twelfth of the present potential output of the state is shut in, and indicates that there is opportunity for still further curtailting the output to improve the fundamental condition of the industry. The number of producing wells during September was less by 155 than during August. Approximately 8,500,000 barrels of oil were produced in September, while shipments amounted to a little over 7,250,000, according to the figures. This reveals a surplus for the month of about 1,250,000. These figures are in accordance with the preliminary estimates published earlier in the week. Stocks of oil aggregate 55,267,469 barrels, October 1, according to the statistics. The most pronounced decline in production was in the Midway-Sunset field. Whittier-Fullerton, however, revealed a marked increase, owing to the larger production on the Emery lease of the Standard Oil Company. The only other important field showing an increase in production was Santa Maria-Lompoc. Only six rigs were completed in September, compared with nineteen in August. The number of drilling wells, 159, was less by forty-eight than the previous month. One more well was completed; however, the total number being thirty. Ten wells were abandoned, compared with thirteen during August. PROCEEDINGS OF THE SUPERVISORS C. E. Chamberlain Appointed Inspector of the Olive Bridge The board met pursuant to adjournment on October 13. All members and the clerk present. The contract for installation of burners in the court house and jail was awarded to the Southern Counties Gas Company, for $103.35. The bid of the Long Beach Consolidated Gas Company of $100 for a franchise at Bay City was accepted. Mrs. Winifred Bryan was appointed lecturer at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, for the months of November and December, 1914, at $50 per month. An agreement was entered into with the Southern California Panama Exposition Commission whereby Orange county will stand its proportion of a $35,000 exhibit at the World's Fairs. The following lecturers were appointed for the fairs, to-wit; Mrs. Winifred Bryan at $100 per month; Joseph P. Smith at $125 per month. Santa Ana Victorious. San Diego High never had a look-in Saturday at the game with Santa Ana on the gridiron at the polo grounds, when they were beaten by a score of 16 to 0. Santa Ana's decisive victory was due to spectacular end runs by their half-backs, Oertly and Plaven. When these men corkscrewed their way through the San Diego eleven seemed bewildered and soon became disheartened. Holsegrafe, Santa Ana's full-back and captain, made the first touchdown in the second quarter, and Irvine, their right tackle kicked goal. In the third quarter Morrison, quarter for Santa Ana, got loose, with a 45 yard run and made a touchdown Irvine kicked goal. The local men were outweighed by the Santa Ana eleven to a man. Dana, the San Diego half-back, played the best game of the team and Fox, left tackle for San Diego, did some excellent work. MISSION APARTMENTS—The Little Inn. Two or four roomed suites.

The Improvement associations of Villa Park and El Modena are fathering a project to establish a new scenic drive in that section. It is proposed to extend Newport road, which runs through Tustin, from Lemon Heights across the low foothills to El Modena, thence close to the foothills by the old Hoyt ranch house to Villa Park and along the Villa Park foothills to Olive, joining the county paved road. If the county can be made to see the advisability of establishing this road through a splendid orange and lemon growing section, the property owners will urge that it be paved. The road would be about eight miles long from Tustin to Olive. "Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation and in making crimes out of things that are not crimes.
