THURSDAY, JAN. 21 TRI-COUNTIES REFORESTATION COMMITTEE Chairman Cuttle Submits Report of Work Performed for Protection of Our Watershed Mr. Cuttle's report to the members of the Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee at their annual meeting, held at Riverside, was in brief as follows: The committee had furnished 2 extra fire patrolmen for 3 months of the dryest portion of the summer for the protection of our watershed, which work was done in co-operation with the forest service. The season was one of great danger on account of the rank growth on the fire lines and trails following the heavy rainfall of last winter, there being 145 fires started, only 3 of which got beyond control, but approximately 4,300 acres were burned inside the national forests and 3,887 just outside. This damage to the watershed cannot be accurately computed, but it is placed by Mr. Carlton, forest supervisor, at $6,000. Seventy per cent of the fires were started by campers throwing away matches, cigarettes, cigars, etc. He advocated the committee endorsing a law being enacted creating a game refuge of the whole of the Angeles National Forest as only about one-third of one per cent of the visitors to the forest are hunters, it would be a source of great pleasure to the largest number to have harmless wild animals protected, and would also cause less danger from fires, owing to the fact that hunters go into isolated places, where when fires are started it is difficult to reach them in time to prevent serious loss to the watershed cover. The Newlands River Regulations bill and its provisions as affecting the people of the west, if it is enacted into law and sustained by the courts, Introduced in the senate by Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire, January 2, read twice and then referred to the committee on finance, is as follows: To repeal an act entitled "An Act to reduce Tariff duties and to provide revenue for the Government, and for other purposes," approved October 3, 1913. Whereas, There is a general depression of business throughout the United States, a serious curtailment of industrial production and of wages. Accompanied by suffering among the millions of the unemployed and their families, caused by the operations of the tariff law of October 3, 1913; and Whereas, The said tariff law of 1913 was made a distinct political issue in the general elections held November 3, 1914, and condemned by the people; Therefore be it Resolved by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled, That the act entitled "An act to reduce Tariff duties and to provide revenue for the Government, and for other purposes," approved October 3, 1913, and all amendments thereto be, and the same are hereby repealed. Sec. 2. That the act entitled "An act to provide revenue, equalize duties and encourage the industries of the United States, and for other purposes," approved August 5, 1909, and all amendments thereto be, and the same are hereby re-enacted and made effective from date of passage of this resolution. Is there in the democratic party enough of wisdom and of political sagacity, enough of patriotic sagacity, enough of patriotic regard for the highest and best interests of all the people of the United States to take prompt advantage of the opportunity and pass this joint resolution? It has been offered in good faith by a stalwart protectionist senator, who doubt be a source of great pleasure to the largest number to have harmless wild animals protected, and would also cause less danger from fires, owing to the fact that hunters go into isolated places, where when fires are started it is difficult to reach them in time to prevent serious loss to the watershed cover. The Newlands River Regulations bill and its provisions as affecting the people of the west, if it is enacted into law and sustained by the courts, was also touched upon by Mr. Cuttle. This bill has provisions broad enough to affect every section of the country in assisting in the storage and conservation of water by all known means. He urged the endorsement of a resolution in favor of the bill. The work of the water conservation association during the past year was as follows: 4,448.42 inches of water average for 200 days was diverted and sunk into the gravels of the debris cone of the Santa Ana river, the upper contour ditch being enlarged and brought to grade, carrying twice as much water as heretofore. A short boulder and wire dam as designed by W. E. Pedley has been built at right angles across the Santa Ana River at the intake of this ditch to take the place of the loose boulder dam used the past five or six years. This dam will be a test of this method of construction which may be valuable later as demonstrating the practicability of this method of construction should the association desire to enlarge its conservation system. Mr. Cuttle closed his report with the words of J. B. Case, president of the International Irrigation Congress in his greetings for the year 1915. "The real dream of empire is not a spectacle of embattled columns, of charging regiments, or roaring cannon, nor even of victorious banners, telling of conquests on war's red fields. It is a vision of happy homes, where a contented people thrive under a helpful government, where none is overrich, where none is poor, but where all share in the benefience of Earth's vast store-house of plenty. With the waters spreading their bounty over the thirsty land, with the wide reaches of our plains transformed into productive farms, America may be the haven of all who seek the fullness of life. To realize this vision is America's problem today." The officers elected are: Chairman, Francis Cuttle; recording secretary, Is there in the democratic party enough of wisdom and of political sagacity, enough of patriotic sagacity, enough of patriotic regard for the highest and best interests of all the people of the United States to take prompt advantage of the opportunity and pass this joint resolution? It has been offered in good faith by a stalwart protectionist senator, who doubtless recognizes the fact that its passage would go far toward continuing the democratic party in power for another 25 years, but whose concern for his country's well being outweighs his natural unwillingness to contribute toward the success of his political opponents. We doubt very much that the free traders now in control in Washington have the sense to do the right thing at the right time. If they have, the Gallinger joint resolution repealing the Underwood tariff and restoring the Payne tariff, will be adopted by both houses of Congress and signed by the president of the United States. This done, we shall have prosperity back again. Restored protection would mean restored confidence, restored wage paying and wage spending, better business, better times.—American Economist. PRESIDENT WILSON COMING MARCH 20 Will be Accompanied by the Atlantic Fleet, Which Will Remain Three Or Four Months The tentative program of President Wilson's itinerary calls for the arrival of the president at San Diego on the battleship New York, accompanied by the battleship Texas and a division of destroyers, on March 20. The President will probably remain in San Diego until the following day, proceeding to Los Angeles harbor the morning of March 22. He will remain there until it is necessary for him to depart in order to reach San Francisco the morning of March 24. Those plans are entirely tentative and are subject to modification in regard to dates. The entire Atlantic fleet will come to the Pacific and remain three or four months, according to the information furnished. Every vessel will visit Los Angeles either going to the exposition or returning from it. The quantity of fish in the United States is between 41,000,0 long tons, and the quantity receiving ports and tween 39,500,000 amons.

The depressile dustry affected service PROPOSED REPEAL OF THE UNDERWOOD TARIFF LAW To the dominant party is presented the opportunity of granting speedy relief of the distress and suffering of several million of unemployed wage earners and their families, and of restoring the industry and general business of the country to the high level of prosperity which it held prior to the enactment of the Underwood free trade tariff law. This opportunity is presented in the form of a joint resolution for the repeal of the free trade tariff law of October 3, 1913, and in its place re-enacting the protective tariff law of August 5, 1909.

THE MANN TARIFF BOARD BILL The creation of a tariff board is the purpose of a bill introduced by Representative Mann, of Illinois, republican leader of the House minority, December 29, and referred to the committee on ways and means. The bill provides for a board of five members. This board is empowered to make enquiries and report to congress on the subject of revenue laws. One of the five members of the board is to be chosen by the president, and the other four are to be named by the senate finance committee and the ways and means committee of the house, each party representation on these committees to name one member. Each member will be paid a salary of $10,000 a year. The bill also provides for a secretary, who shall be paid $6,000 a year. The bill instructs the board to make inquiries to determine the difference in the cost of labor and the cost of raw materials in the United States and foreign countries, and to report the results as they may be called for by the president or either house of Congress. The board, which is to be an independent body, is empowered to summon witnesses and to enforce the production of books and papers. The bill provides that the board shall not disclose to the public business secrets communicated by an individual, firm corporation or partnership. It will be noticed that the idea of non-partisanship has no place in the there until it is necessary for him to depart in order to reach San Francisco on the morning of March 24. Those plans are entirely tentative and are subject to modification in regard to dates. The entire Atlantic fleet will come to the Pacific and remain three or four months, according to the information furnished. Every vessel will visit Los Angeles either going to the exposition or returning from it. THE ECONOMIC VOTING There were regular states last year mobilies against this extraordinary rate nearly 56,000 a month have 2,000,000 automakers early spring. Two million auto-annuities for least $1,500,000,000 end they would for stretching clear acre Their upkeep and cost per year nearly original cost of the they evidently pay more in a commerce would not go on in number, regardless pressure and war due in the great stimulus to good roads constrain had profound effect economy of the country.

A tariff board created under its provisions would be ostensibly a bi-partisan board, but in practical operation a partisan board reflecting the tariff politics of the president, whose appointee would have the controlling vote in case of a tie between the four members equally apportioned to the majority and minority of the house committee on ways and means and the senate committee on finance. Also it will be noticed that the bill places American producers at a decided disadvantage. They are required to produce all books and papers and answer all questions relating to cost of production. Foreign producers escape this requirement. The Taft tariff board found it impossible to obtain accurate information regarding foreign production cost. Foreign under the provisions of the Mann bill. They could not be punished, as American producers could be, for refusing to submit books and papers and to give facts as to cost of production. Certainly no very great value could come from the report of a tariff board that embodied the facts of domestic production cost, but omitted the facts of foreign production cost. It is right here that any tariff commission scheme must fall down. The findings of a body of investigators would be relatively worthless unless they embraced the facts of lower production cost in competing countries. But those are precisely the facts which cannot be obtained. On the whole it would seem that the Mann bill makes no tangible progress toward solving the tariff commission problem. But as this entire subject will come before the practical business men of the American Protective Tariff League in annual meeting assembled Jan. 21, 1915, the American Economist will be governed by the decision reached—American Economist.

SHARP DECLINE IN IRON ORE Production of 1914 One-Third Less Than That of Record Year, 1913 The quantity of iron ore mined in the United States in 1914 is estimated as between 41,000,000 and 42,500,000 long tons, and the quantity shipped to receiving ports and blast furnaces between 39,500,000 and 41,000,000 long tons. These figures are given out by the United States Geological Survey and are derived from data received by Ernest F. Burchard from 52 of the important iron mining companies, which represent the principal iron producing districts and whose combined output in 1913 was more than 90 per cent of the total tonnage of iron ore mined in that year, estimates having been made for the output of the other companies. In 1913 there were 61,980,437 long tons mined and 59,643,098 long tons shipped. The 1914 returns therefore show a decrease in quantity of ore mined and shipped of about 33 per cent from the tonnage of 1913. The Lake Superior district is estimated to have shown a decrease in production of about 37 per cent and a total production of about 32,915,000 long tons in 1914, compared with 52,518,158 long tons mined in 1913. The shipments of ore from this district apparently decreased about 34 per cent, and accordingly they should approximate 32,790,000 long tons in 1914, compared with 50,168,134 long tons in 1913. Stocks of iron ore at the mines apparently increased more than 500,000 long tons during 1914, so that the total stocks at the close of 1914 should range between 12,400,000 and 13,500,000 long tons, compared with 12,918,633 long tons at the close of 1913. Iron ore prices generally were 50 to 75 cent a ton lower than in 1913—about the same as those of 1912 and 1905. The depression in the iron industry affected seriously the ake carriages were sold to women and young girls and elderly men among the frequent purchasers of them. It is announced that very few calls are now received for the nickel novels. It is agreed that the demand for magazines dealing with mechanics has increased. CALIFORNIA LEMON SHIPPERS WIN IN FIGHT FOR REFUND California shippers of lemons have won another victory over the railroads carrying their fruit, when the interstate commerce commission, according to a Washington dispatch, ordered the railroads to refund to the shippers the difference paid by them between the old $1.15 per 100 pounds and the present $1 rate on shipments into Washington, Oregon and Idaho. The refund must be made on shipments that occurred between Dec. 8, 1911, and Nov. 30, 1912. According to officials of the California Fruit Growers exchange, the total refund will be about $5000.

Iron ore prices generally were 50 to 75 cent lower than in 1913—about the same as those of 1912 and 1905. The depression in the iron industry affected seriously the like carrying trade, which depends largely on the transportation of ore from the Lake Superior district. During the later part of the autumn many iron mines were closed or running on half time. THE ECONOMIC VALUE OF THE AUTO There were registered in the several states last year 1,808,441 automobiles, against 1,127,940 in 1913. At this extraordinary rate of increase of nearly 56,000 a month the country will have 2,000,000 automobiles in use by early spring. Two million automobiles represent an investment for the buyers of at least $1,600,000,000. Placed end to end they would form a double line stretching clear across the continent. Their upkeep and operation must cost per year nearly as much as the original cost of the machines. But they evidently pay, and more and more in a commercial sense, or they would not go on increasing so greatly in number, regardless of industrial depression and war disturbances. And in the great stimulus they have given good roads construction they have had profound effect in improving the economy of the country. The great war, indeed, has been demonstrating the peace value of the automobile in proving its military importance. It has been of vast and indispensable use in all the armies for the transport of supplies and the mo- The East Twenty (20) acres of the North-east quarter (N.E.) of the North-east quarter (N.E.) of the North-east quarter (N.E.) of the North-east quarter (N.E.)
