FREDERICKS HAS HAD NOTABLE CAREER Continued from page 1 calling he has not lost faith. He is a friend of the probation system but would have proper means of supervision supplied by law. He realizes that its application requires a most careful administration. He holds that it is not intended as clemency or mercy, but is a scientific treatment for a deceased or deformed mental and moral condition, by prescribing free air, good environment, good food, family ties and home, ambition, good will of his fellow men and a measure of free action under restraint and constant supervision. These are the qualities of his character that appeal to the people he is now meeting daily in his progress through the state. Firmness without bigotry, tolerance without insipidity, intelligence without pedantry, fairness in all things, a reverence for justice, devotion to duty, great love for his family, a marked simplicity in all his doings these are the traits that are uppermost in John D. Fredericks and which inhere in the making of a loyal and lovable character—one whom the people may, with absolute safety, entrust with any office within their gift. In the conduct of the District Attorney's office in Los Angeles, Capt. Fredericks has demonstrated that humanitarianism not only lifts the burden of misery from the unfortunates with whom his office deals, but can be made to pay in dollars and cents.

Fredericks has demonstrated that humanitarianism not only lifts the burden of misery from the unfortunates with whom his office deals, but can be made to pay in dollars and cents. The cost of the maintenance of that office has recently been attacked by certain scurrilous newspaper editors, several of whom sit upon the Johnson compromises and give service obedience in his campaign of vituperation. But the people of Los Angeles have been so well pleased with the innovations made during Captain Frederick's twelve years of service that they themselves are probably the best witnesses regarding the efficiency per capita cost of his office and their approval has been registered three times at the polls. Take for instance, the Domestic Relations court, over which Judge Monroe presides, as one item of the cost of the District Attorney's office in Los Angeles. The volume of the business of this department during the year 1913, was over four thousand cases, which were adjusted or tried and in which complaints were heard and issued for failure to provide for destitute women and innocent babies and children. Judge Monroe himself, is authority for the statement that the saving to the county by this work alone amounts to $96,000 for the adjustment of cases which would otherwise have gone to trial. This department has been so efficiently conducted, by one deputy district attorney and two assistants, that between $60,000 and $70,000 has been collected and paid over to abandoned mothers and children. If this saving to the county were recokoned against the total annual cost of the District Attorney's office, amounting to $124,935, it would leave the annual cost per annum only $28,935. But even this does not tell the tale of the efficiency of the District Attorney's office in Los Angeles county. A heavy expense attached to Captain Fredericks' office is that of the motor cycle patrol. There are eight officers and one superintendent connected with this department. For the year 1913 the salaries of these men totaled $13,000, which amount was charged to the District Attorney's office, together with the expenses connected with the work. The fines collected by this department amounted to $26,002, leaving a balance in favor of the county of $12,202. This department is an absolute necessity in a county such as Los Angeles, with a population of 800,000 and an area of 3885 square miles, dotted with cities, towns and villages, connected by a network of smooth macadam highways, especially tempting to the automobile speeders. Deducting the profits to the county of California farms is 317 pounds; for alfalfa, 3 1-2 tons, 6 tons, and 5 tons, and so on for all the great standard crops of California. How large must a farm be to furnish a satisfactory living? What a satisfactory living is one must decide for himself, but to earn a gross income of $4,000 a year the acreage needed, figuring on a safe basis as before, would vary, according to the comparative table given, from a dozen acres for orange trees in full bearing to 33 onions or potatoes, 60 acres for dairying, 91 for rice, 100 for alfalfa-raising, 167 for barley, or 235 for wheat. Of the gross income, a large share would represent interest on the investment, another large share would go for expenses, and a moderate share remain as remuneration to the farmer and his family for their work. And of course figures as to yield and acreage vary greatly for differences in land and differences in skill. Children are a material asset to the farmer, here declares Dean Hunt. Their labor is an advantage not only to the family income but "because this training in contributing to the family income which they receive before the age of 21 is one of the most valuable assets these children can acquire." Here are some of the warnings to the settler now sounded by the college of agriculture of the University of California. Don't figure too high on prospective yield. Don't figure too low as to the amount of land you'll need. Don't expect to make a satisfactory living at dairying on twenty acres. In selecting land be sure the soil is deep and well drained. Hardpan and alkali go along with lack of proper drainage. Consult the university and United States soil surveys, when available. Remember that the sale of land for purposes for which it is not adapted has caused great losses and great misery, so be sure the land is suited to the crop to be grown. Watchout that the land title is secure. And in buying land remember that no law can furnish men with judgment. "Probably nothing can make a man keen in a horse trade save experience," says Dean Hunt. A striking statement is that the average size of California farms is 317 pounds; for alfalfa, 3 1-2 tons, 6 tons, and 5 tons, and so on for all the great standard crops of California.

Deducting the profits to the county of $12,202 from the motor cycle department, and the saving effected by the Domestic Relations court, there remains as the actual cost of the District Attorney's office but $16,733. Additional evidence of the amount of the volume of business transacted through the District Attorney's office in Los Angeles is found in the biennial report made to the Attorney General for the years 1913-14, which shows that this office handled no less than 1847 felony cases, of which number 75 per cent of convictions were obtained, a record which is not surpassed, if equalled, in any District Attorney's office in the United States. In fact, Capt. Fredericks' office is one of the three biggest prosecuting offices in the country. In the conduct of his duties, during his three terms Capt. Fredericks has been actuated by three motives: First to make his services to the people a social service of high humanitarian ideals and second, to make it an efficient service, performing its functions with justice tempered with mercy and last, making it in a true sense, an economical service saving to taxpayers many dollars indirectly for every dollar paid in taxes to the county.

C. E. Ruddock has proven himself a conscientious, capable and courageous official, and it would be a crime to supplant a man who has made such an enviable record. An effort is being made by his political enemies to defeat him, of course, and they are pointing to the fact that the expenses of the office are greater now than ever before. It should be self-evident to every person that this is unavoidable. Orange county is growing by leaps and bounds and the work every official in the county is rapidly increasing. Besides during the past four years many undesirable citizens have been drifting in who must be looked after, and this work is up to the chief peace officer of the county. This is especially noticeable since the outbreak of the Mexican revolution. If Mr. Ruddock did not make provision for protecting the county from this element he would fall in his duty to the people who elected him. The sheriff's office is handling the salaries of $1000 per year each, one matron at $544 per year and one stenographer at $720 per year. "I have been criticised because I have used my own automobiles in the county service. I wish to state that on several occasions I have been before the Board of Supervisors and requested them to furnish me with county cars, but they decided to allow county officers to run their own cars at a fixed rate per hour on criminal and on other classes of county work, the fees having already been fixed on a mileage basis by the state legislature for serving witnesses in criminal cases and summoning jurors. "I call your attention to recorded results of the energetic campaign made by myself and officers in disarming the Mexicans and others who persist in carrying concealed weapons. Since our work began along that line, we have almost eliminated the murders caused by that character of "bad man." It is not only the number of men disarmed, but those who, because of the example made, either leave their weapons at home or dispose of them. The records along that line are an illustration of the vast saving, not only in human life, but also in dollars and cents, in the way of pursuit and apprehension of criminals, inquests, trials, and care of those widows and orphans made dependent through such sources." PRODUCERS ARE OPPOSED TO JOHNSON up to 1911, with the aid and expense of only 36 executive commissions and boards, while during Johnson's administration up to the present time he has created and appointed 30 wholly new and additional commissions. The cost of the last three administrations is set down by the dairymen as follows: Governor Pardee ..... $18,855,142.55 Governor Gillette ..... 24,776,077.77 Governor Johnson ..... 36,452,227.45 In commenting upon these figures the dairymen merely point out that the cost of the Johnson administration has been nearly as much as the two preceding ones put together. It is shown in the leaflet that during the 42 months of his administra- PRODUCERS ARE OPPOSED TO JOHNSON CALIFORNIA STATE DAIRY ASSOCIATION ISSUES LEAFLET IMPACTING HOLY HIRAM SOME PERTINENT STATEMENTS MADE THAT THE GOVERNOR WILL REFUSE TO ANSWER The California State Dairy Association has just issued a four page leaflet under the title of "Our Impeachment of Governor Johnson," in which the association sets forth in detail why farmers and dairymen of the state are opposed to Johnson. The association goes on to state that it is not in partisan politics. It is doing its work in a strictly non-partisan manner. Between the candidates for Governor it has no choice on political or personal grounds, but it does object to the re-election of Governor Johnson, solely on the ground of his record in office and his treatment of the farming and dairy interests of the state. The association says the republican candidate, John D. Fredericks, and the democratic candidate, John B. Curtin, are each good men, both are farmers and both have long and credible records in public service. "Each recognizes that the foundation of our prosperity is first of all in our agriculture. Either one would make a good and safe governor." The Dairy Association says that Johnson, being a city man himself, is imbued only with city instincts and sympathies and has played invariably into the hands of city interests and against the agricultural interests. "He appears ignorant of agricultural conditions." Johnson vetoed our dairy bills, notwithstanding they passed both houses of the legislature by a vote of more than 5 to 1. Relative to the 8-hour law, the leaflet says: "When this fight was on before the legislature a delegation of fruit men and farmers, chosen as a committee for that purpose, called on the governor to intercede in behalf of the agricultural interests." They were dumfounded when the Governor told them that they had better go back home, for he always had been still was, and ever would be in favor of a general 8-hour law, and that the farmers might as well make up their minds to it." The dairymen call attention to the cost of the last three administrations is set down by the dairymen as follows: Governor Pardee ... $18,855,142.55 Governor Gillette ... 24,776,077.77 Governor Johnson ... 36,452,227.45 In commenting upon these figures the dairymen merely point out that the cost of the Johnson administration has been nearly as much as the two preceding ones put together. It is shown in the leaflet that during the 42 months of his administration Governor Johnson has been absent from the state at state expense for five and one-half months, and has been absent from the capitol within the state, making personal campaigns at the expense of the state for another five months, making ten and one-half months in all, or just one quarter of the time. It is very evident the dairymen and the farmers of California are not going to permit Hiram Johnson to any longer pull the wool over their eyes. NOTICE OF EXECUTOR'S SALE OF REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY AT PRIVATE SALE In the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Orange, in the Matter of the Estate of Walter S. Matthews, deceased. Notice is hereby given that in pursuance of an order of the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Orange, made and entered on the 20th day of September, 1914, in the matter of the estate of Walter S. Matthews, deceased, the underigned Executive of the last Will and Testament of Walter S. Matthews, deceased, will sell at private sale in one parcel or in subdivisions, as the Executor shall judge most beneficial to said estate, to be highest bidder, on the terms and conditions hereinafter permitted subject to the construction of the said Court on or after the 31st day of November, 1914, all rights interest and estate of said Walter S. Matthews at the time of his death, and all right, title, and interest that the said estate has by operation or otherwise acquired other than or addition to that of said deceased at the time of his death, in and for all certain lot, piece or parcel or land situate, lying and being in the County of Orange, State of California, described as follows: to-wit.

The assessed valuation of Orange county for the year 1907-8; after deducting value of railroads, which valuation is not now included, was $15,651,080 and is now $47,767,825. The general average of work has increased more than three times since the fiscal year 1907-08 and the work cared for by the sheriff's office has increased more than ten times, yet the expenses have not much more than doubled. "Times are not what they used to be," said Mr. Ruddock. "Since the year 1911, the beginning of my administration, hundreds of foreigners, among them many old time criminals that were turned out of the penitentiaries in Mexico have come to California. You all know that the population of California is increasing by bounds, and it is natural that the criminal element has increased also. So I have prepared my office to meet the demands made upon it. "There has been some criticism because I have appointed so many honorary deputies. Almost without exception, I have been asked to deputize them. When not personally acquainted with the applicant, I have required recommendation. These deputies have been appointed with the sole object that they might be of service to the communities in which they live. If I have made any mistake and deputized anyone who is not worthy of my trust or those who recommended them, I would be pleased to have those who object make their complaint to me and I will assure them of prompt attention. I wish to state here that these honorary deputies draw no pay. My salaried force consists of my undersheriff, jailor and two bailiffs at Relative to the 8-hour law, the leaflet says: "When this fight was on before the legislature a delegation of fruit men and farmers, chosen as a committee for that purpose, called on the governor to intercede in behalf of the agricultural interests. They were dummed when the Governor told them that they had better go back home, for he always had been, still was, and ever would be in favor of a general 8-hour law, and that the farmers might as well make up their minds to it." The dalrymen call attention to the fact that the state board of agriculture, in charge of managing the state fairs, consists of 12 members, and there is not a single dairy breeder or dairyman on that board. "In November of last year there were three vacancies on the board, and the annual convention of the State Dairy Association and the Creamerymen's Association, by joint resolution, asked Governor Johnson to appoint one or more dairy breeders on the board. Receipt of this request was not even acknowledged." Later seven vacancies existed on the board, and the State Dairy Association called the Governor's attention to the former request and resolution and again asked that the dairy interests be recognized. "Under date of February 2, 1914, the Governor by letter contemptuously refused the request, among other things saying he had received the communication in which we indulged in various references to the dairy interests of the State," and "that he had no sympathy, however," with the methods and work of this association." The seven vacancies were filled and no recognition was given to the dalrymen. The association further states the truth that we are suffering in California from too much legislation. "The Johnson administration has placed on the statute books 4369 pages in fine print of new laws, or 2,185 pages during each session. The next preceding four sessions of the legislature only enacted an average of 1183 pages." It adds that most of this mass of new laws is worse than useless, and "as a crop of legislative experiments and ventures it is the logical product of the Johnson administration." Attention is called to the fact that the government of this state was successfully conducted for 60 years. Cash, gold coin of the United States, payable upon the confirmation of sale. All bids or offers must be in writing and may be left at the office of Melrose & Ames, attorneys for said Executor, at No. 112 West Center Street, in City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, or may be filed in the office of the County Clerk of the County-of Orange, State of California, at any time after the first publication of this notice and before the making of the sale.
