It is a well known fact that some check is always good for an administration, but under the short ballot this will be eliminated, since the leaders will appoint only whom they want. Our opponents argue that this concentrates responsibility and that therefore blame can be easily located, but as a matter of fact any blame can be easily pushed from one official to another, since they are all dependent upon one another and so blame is hard to locate and thus fostered. Under our present system every official is responsible for himself. If he does not do his duty the blame is located at his door.

Every voter is sent a pamphlet in which the arguments pro and con appear. Every side of every question is looked into. The people get together and work for the general welfare. Hon. Fres. S. Jackson, in a speech in the house of representatives, said, "to my mind, the strongest attribute of the initiative is that it encourages citizens to form organizations, independent of political parties) for the purpose of framing and advocating laws in the interest of society in general."
After such an examination the people know which is the right side and vote for that side. Experience has shown with scarcely an exception that the people vote for desirable measures. Senator Bourne in speaking of the working of the Initiative in Oregon says, "Experience in Oregon shows that the people have a discriminating judgment. They have enacted laws in which they believed and have defeated those which they did not approve." Facts prove that the initiative secures legislation for the general public.
The initiative does not destroy representative government as some would have us believe but builds up true representative government. True representation consists in having the wishes of the people carried out. When representatives fail to do this the government is tending toward a despotism, not a democracy. The rule of a congress or legislature that does the will of a railroad or oil trust, is a despotism as much as was Caesar. Napoleon was elected, but he was far from being representative. Representatives must be under continuous control else they cease to become servants and become sovereigns. J. A. Hobson says, "If a popular mandate is to be a real factor in representative government some method must be devised for taking a separate popular vote on a particular issue. The initiative furnishes this method. It places the representative under the control of hte people. Without the initiative the tendency is for representatives to misrepresent. They carry out the wishes of the political bosses and moneyed machines. They were elector to be the peoples' servants, they become their masters. Before the initiative the people could do nothing, but with the initiative the tendency is not to subject the people to the will of a vasciliating legislature but to allow them to make their own laws. But let us see what higher authorities say as to whether the initiative destroys representative government. The supreme court of Oregon decided that the initiative did not destroy representative government, the supreme court of California did likewise, with one dissenting voice. Ex-president Roosevelt said, "I believe in the initiative which should be used not to destroy representative government, but to correct it whenever it becomes misrepresentative."
I have proved, 1st that the initiative was originated because of the fraud and moneyed interests in gov'ts and that therefore blame can be easily located, but as a matter of fact any blame can be easily pushed from one official to another, since they are all dependent upon one another and so blame is hard to locate and thus fostered. Under our present system every official is responsible for himself. If he does not do his duty the blame is located at his door.
Under such a system as our opponents propose, an official must face great temptations for as you have seen ne is given an invitation to take part in fraud and graft and since all men are human he may fall before these temptations no matter how honest his intentions may have been when he entered his once. The Arena says in substance, "Under the principle of the short ballot an ocular is exposed to such strong temptation that it is an injustice to expect any human to withstand them."
What is true of the state government is true of the municipal government. A mayor with absolute power can build a machine which controls even the minutest details and so mayor or commissioners can perpetuate themselves indefinitely. We have an example of this in Galveston. Galveston adopted the commission form of city government in 1911. With the new government they adopted the short ballot and as a result three of the commissioners have held office ever since.
Thus Honorable Judges, you will see that the tendency of the short ballot is to establish a government vested in a few men who only too often are or become corrupt and who can hide their glit and defraud the people. This is a tendency which we cannot overlook and which we must take into consideration when we compare it with the initiative.
The initiative on the other hand has directly opposite tendencies. It puts into the hands of the people the right to make laws. It provides for government by the people while the short ballot provides for government by one man.
One of the most important tendencies of the initiative is that it awakens the interest of the voter in governmental affairs. Since it gives the voter a direct part in the making of the laws under which he has to live he will take a much greater interest in them. He realizes that his vote is not in vain. Without the initiative he knew not if his will would be carried out, but now he knows that he has a real voice in the government.
The initiative also corrects the failure of our representative body to represent the people. It acts as a potential influence upon our legislatures for if they do not make the laws the people wish, the people will make them unselfies. The result is that we get the best laws of which our representatives are capable. In times of old without the initiative the people were absolutely helpless, if the legislature refused to pass laws what could the people do? Of course they could wait

Ex-president Roosevelt said, "I believe in the initiative which should be used not to destroy representative government, but to correct it whenever it becomes misrepresentative."

Brent followed Owen, and although he didn't do much with Fred's argument he made an excellent speech. Schacht, however, tore Brent's fabric into shreds and cast the pieces to the four winds, and after demolishing all his points, he said:
The short ballot tends to establish a strongly centralized government against which when wrongly used, the people cannot protect themselves.
The people elect only a few men who appoint all other officials. Thus the power of the leading officials is excessive. They can appoint whom they will. They build up a collosal political machine when once established is exceedingly hard to destroy. This tendency of the short ballot is found in both state and municipal governments.
Governor Ferris of Michigan, an ardent advocate of the short ballot proposes the election of only the governor and lieutenant governor. Think of it. They give these men the power to appoint every official even remotely connected with the government. Whom do you suppose these men will appoint? Will they appoint men who are liable to work against them. Certainly not. They will appoint their political friends and the man with biggest pull will get the appointment every time. As a result the leading officials have no check upon their ac
The initiative also corrects the failure of our representative body to represent the people. It acts as a potential influence upon our legislatures for if they do not make the laws the people wish, the people will make them themselves. The result is that we get the best laws of which our representatives are capable. In times of old without the initiative the people were absolutely helpless, if the legislature refused to pass laws what could the people do? Of course they could wait until the next election and elect a new body but what assurance had they they that the new body would be more representative than the former? One legislature is as corruptable as another and if political grafters had control of the legislative body the people were helpless. With the initiative, however, the legislature knows that they must pass the laws demanded by the public. Political grafters can do nothing for the people will pass the laws over their heads and so we have a government free from corruption and truly representative of the people's will.
A tendency of the initiative which no other political movement possesses, is to establish the confidence of the people in their government. As already shown the people know that laws will be passed which satisfy their wants. If a serious question arises they will have faith in the government. They know that justice will be done and so the government can transact its business, make laws and administer them with the people behind it.
The initiative restores the government which our forefathers established. When our government was established that the people should rule.
Honorable judges, I have proved that (1) the short ballot concentrates power into the hands of a few men, and that this tends toward faulty and fraudulent government in both state and municipality.
(2) That the initiative puts the government into the hands of the people and that therefore fraudulent government is eliminated.
(3) I have proved that the initiative has a tendency to educate the voter in political affairs while the short ballot increases lazy voting.
(4) That the initiative has a poten-
tial influence upon our legislatures and forces them to enact laws in accordance with the wills of the people.
(5) That it establishes the people's confidence in their government, and
(6) That the initiative is in accordance with our spirit of democracy.
Miss Wilcox was then given five minutes time to answer Schacht. She filled all the space allotted her with talk and was just beginning to warm up when the gavel stopped her in the middle of a sentence.
In announcing the decision of the judges the young lady who presided spoke of the debate as a wonderful contest and stated that it must not be forgotten that Los Angeles high had eighteen hundred students to draw from whereas Anaheim had only two hundred and fifty. The smaller school, therefore, should be proud of the fact that only one and two-thirds points separated them.
BANKS HELP BOYS
Southern Business Men Help Club Members to Buy Pure Bred Pigs
A number of banks in the south which have found it profitable to help farmers introduce better stock have found that it is a good investment to lend money to the boy and girl members of the pig clubs with which to buy good young sows. This new movement to encourage children to take an interest seems to have started in Arkansas and has spread to other states. It is very active in Georgia, where in 10 of the 14 counties in which the pig club is now being carried on the banks have offered to lend money to junior members for the purchase of pure bred pigs. In other counties wealthy residents, seeing the advantage of the plan are also assisting the children with loans.
In some instances the indorsement raised an average of 58 bushels of corn to the acre, while the average yield of corn per acre for the state was under 18 bushels. The pig club boys, in some instances, raised pork at 3 cents per pound.
TRUMPED UP CHARGE AGAINST FULLERTON MEN
Former Anaheim Tells About Hardships Experienced by Americans in Mexico
Ed Pellegrin, a former resident of Anaheim and now of Nogales, Ariz., has written a letter giving some particulars to friends here of the experiences which Gerald Twombly and Richard Le Dane have had at Altar, Mexico. Twombly is the son of S. S. Twombly, teacher in the Fullerton high school. He and De Lane started for Mexico to get gold out of an abandoned mine that Le Dane said he knew all about.
According to Pellegrin's letter after trading the two good horses with which they started from Fullerton a few weeks ago for four specimens of the cayuse breed, the young men spent some time in prospecting near the boundary line in Southern Arizona. While on a trip of this kind, each riding one horse and leading another, they crossed the line into Mexico one day in search of water.
Rurales found them on Mexican soil and took them in custody under pretense of a charge that the horses were stolen. They were placed in jail at Altar about the first of April, and it was five weeks before they succeeded in getting word of their predicament to the American consul at Nogales, about fifty miles distant. In the meantime their property had been confiscated and even a part of the clothes the Jesuit fathers and the Spanish government; and remnants of their old mine workings, to which the charm of romance clings, point the way to wealth possibly not yet exhausted.
From 1853, the date of the Gadsden to the present time mining has been carried on by Americans, not, however, without interruptions, especially during the earlier part of this period, in which raids by the bloodthirsty Apaches or Mexican outlaws figured prominently. Although the fame of this district in the past was due almost exclusively to its rich silver ores since the American occupation valuable discoveries of copper, lead, and other metals have been made.
Of the many hundreds of old and new mines and prospects within the area, but a small percentage are active at present. It is the belief, however, of the geologists who examined this area that many of the properties now idle merit the serious attention of mining men. Bulletin 582 describes individually nearly 300 quartz mines and prospects, and not the least interesting are the gravel deposits of Greaterville, which have yielded $7,000,000 worth of placer gold and are estimated by mining engineers to still contain $75,000,000 to $100,000,000. Lists and descriptions are given of the great-number of minerals found in this district, among which besides gold are copper, silver, lead and zinc as well as the rarer metals, tungsten, molybdenum and vanadium. Statistics of production for the period 1903-1912 show an aggregate of more than $1,000,000 worth of copper, silver, lead and zinc. The report also contains a general description of the topography, climate, vegetation, settlement, and means of transportation—in short, information of value.
ment to encourage children to take an interest seems to have started in Arkansas and has spread to other states. It is very active in Georgia, where in 10 of the 14 counties in which the pig club is now being carried on the banks have offered to lend money to junior members for the purchase of pure bred pigs. In other counties wealthy residents, seeing the advantage of the plan are also assisting the children with loans.
In some instances the indorsement of the member's parent or guardian is required when a loan is made, in others no security is asked. In all the counties, however, each boy who borrows is required to grow one acre of corn so as to have abundant feed, have some corn to sell and pay off his obligations. A bank in Broks county, Ga., last year loaned as high as $10 each to boys over their own signature without security, and in only a few instances did the borrowers ask for an extension of time.
This movement by the banks instills thrift into the boys and often starts them with bank accounts. One bank in Macon has set aside $2 year to loan to boys who raise pure bred pigs. Recently a well-to-do farmer came into the bank and indorsed his son's note for $10. The cashier asked him why he did it when he had a substantial checking account of his own and the farmer said, "Oh, I just wanted to see how the boy handles this obligation. It he does not pay it I will, but it will be worth $10 to me to know what kind of a boy I have."
In one county a wealthy man wanted to do something for the worthy poor boys, so he bought pure bred gilts and loaned them to 20 boys. These boys must join the pig club and do all that is required by its rules. This fall their hogs must be bred and next spring two gilts must be delivered to the owner at weaning time. When the boys have compiled with all the requirements the mother and remainder of the litter become the property of the boy. The two gilts delivered by the boy are in turn loaned to two more boys in the county who are required to do as the first boys did. This plan is now in operation in two counties.
The school house pig is a new and popular extension of pig production in Georgia. A patron of the school gives a shoat or pig to the pupils. The big boys build a pen under the shade of some trees on the school house grounds. The little boys go into the Rurales found them on Mexican soil and took them in custody under pretense of a charge that the horses were stolen. They were placed in jail at Altar about the first of April, and it was five weeks before they succeeded in getting word of their predicament to the American consul at Nogales, about fifty miles distant. In the meantime their property had been confiscated, and even a part of the clothes they wore had been traded in order to secure food, of which they were sadly in need.
Pellegrin stated that the consul had taken steps to secure the release of the men and thought they would probably be at liberty by the time his letter arrived here.
In the meantime they are without doubt getting a liberal experience in the line of adventure, in search of which they started from Fullerton.
According to a dispatch from Nogales Gerald B. Twombly, and Richard Le Dane have been released from prison at Altar, Sonora, Mexico. Governor Jose Haytorena gave the information of the men's release in reply to an inquiry sent by Secretary of State Bryan.
Twombly and Le Dane left Fullerton on horseback in February. Twombly's father has received copies of letters sent to the American consul at Nogales in which the Fullerton man stated that they were arrested as they were making their way to Nogales. They had been lost on the desert and were robbed. Later they were arrested and thrown into jail. Six days after their arrest they learned that they were charged with horse stealing which they declared to be a trumped up charge. Their position was the more trying because they had no passports. They stated the reason they crossed the line without passports was that they were without water and were hoping to reach Nogales.
WOMAN SUED FOR $10,000 ON ALLEGED SLANDER
Declaring that Bertha Huber is responsible for various letters sent to people at Orange, P. I. Bird has brought suit against the woman for $10,000 damages for alleged slander.
Bird is a letter carrier for the Orange post office. The letters give
the greater number of minerals found in this district, among which besides gold are copper, silver, lead and zinc as well as the rarer metals, tungsten, molybdenum and vanadium. Statistics of production for the period 1903-1912 show an aggregate of more than $1,000,000 worth of copper, silver, lead and zinc. The report also contains a general description of the topography, climate, vegetation, settlements, and means of transportation—in short, information of value to anyone interested in the southeastern Arizona mining region as well as to miners and geologists generally.
A copy of this bulletin may be obtained from the director of the survey at Washington.
HOW THE FLOW OF A RIVER IS MEASURED
If you see a man leaning over the railing of a bridge intently watching the river, with a telephone receiver at his ear do not think that the man is trying to talk to the fishes or to a diver below the surface. He is probably one of the government's engineers measuring the amount of water passing under the bridge. This is done by lowering an instrument known as a current meter, into the water at several points under the bridge to determine the speed of the water and by measuring the depths of the water at the same points. From such information the flow of the river at that particular time and height can be computed, and when such measurements have been made at a number of different heights the flow of the river is obtained each day from a river gage, the flow for each day can be computed.
No one starts to build a house with out knowing how much room is wanted or how many people are expected to occupy the house. The same thing should be true of power plants, water-supply systems, sewage disposal plants and flood control and irrigation works. If such construction is to be done economically and successfully a knowledge of the amount of water involved is essential. Thus it is evident that the information contained in the survey's water supply papers is of great value.

the boy. The two gilts delivered by the boy are in turn loaned to two more boys in the county who are required to do as the first boys did. This plan is now in operation in two counties.
The school house pig is a new and popular extension of pig production in Georgia. A patron of the school gives a shoat or plg to the pupils. The big boys build a pen under the shade of some trees on the school house grounds. The little boys go into the woods and collect pine needles and make the bed. Others build a shelter over the corner of the pen and construct a fed trough. The girls, for surely the girls are interested, collect all the scraps from the lunch baskets at noon and feed them to the pig. The pupils also bring to school, occasionally, an ear of corn for their pet pig. On Saturdays and Sundays a boy living near the school does the feeding. Some of the schools barbecue the pig at the end of the year, others hold an auction, and with the money buy library books or something for the school room.
Care must be exercised that the pig is not overfed. At one place he was foundered twice in one week. At another school the patrons wondered what was wrong. The children came home at night hollow to their heels and toted away in their dinner baskets each morning enough good food to gorge a harvest hand. In time they discovered that a pig in a pen on the school house grounds was rapidly growing as large one way as the other.
All of the breeders who offered to sell pure bred pigs to members last year at $10 each have renewed their offer this year, and a few new names have been added to the list. The state is developing a new standard of agriculture, due largely to the activity of the juvenile farmer. This new agriculture spells pure bred pigs and 100 bushels of corn to the acre. Last year 3200 members of corn clubs
WOMAN SUED FOR $10,000 ON ALLEGED SLANDER
Declaring that Bertha Huber is responsible for various letters sent to people at Orange, P. I. Bird has brought suit against the woman for $10,000 damages for alleged slander.
Bird is a letter carrier for the Orange post office. The letters give prominent mention to a number of well known residents of Orange, but seem to take particular notice of Bird. Since one or two of the letters were shoved under the door of Postmaster Fullerton's office, it is conjectured that the writer hoped to see Bird fired from Uncle Sam's employ.
Some of the letters, which are quoted in the complaint filed for Bird by Attorney Clyde Bishop, were sent through the mail. Bird alleges that his reputation has been injured and that he has been held up to contempt and ridicule.
IMPORTANT MINING REGION IN SOUTHEASTERN ARIZONA
The northwestern continuation in Arizona of the great mining region of Mexico, celebrated for centuries for its fabulously rich ores of silver and other metals, is described by F. C. Schrader, of the geological survey in Bulletin 582, Mineral Deposits of the Santa Rita and Patagonia Mountains. The district has an area of 1,400 sq.miles, situated on the border of Mexico in the middle of that portion of Arizona known as the Gadsden purchase. Authentic records show that silver mining was carried on there by the Papago Indians before the Spanish conquest of Mexico, in the 16th century. Later the lodes were worked from time to time and their ores smelted under the directions of supply systems, sewage disposal plants and flood control and irrigation works.
If such construction is to be done economically and successfully a knowledge of the amount of water involved is essential. Thus it is evident that the information contained in the survey's water supply papers is of great value.
ORE DEPOSITS IN THE SAWTOOTH QUADRANGLE, IDAHO
In central Idaho there is a granite mass which crops out at the surface over a continuous area of more than 2,000 square miles. Near this mass are many others of much smaller extent which are believed to connect with it under the surface. The principal ore deposits of the region occur near the border of the central mass and in the vicinity of the outlaying ones. The area mapped by the geological survey as the Sawtooth quadrangle lies on the border of the central granite areas and its smaller outliers. It contains silver, lead, zinc, and gold ores in veins which occur principally in the sedimentary rock near the Igneous contact. The mines at Vienna and Sawtooth, however, once very productive, lie well within the granite.
The area includes eight mining districts and is credited with a production of about $5,000,000, mostly during the decade following 1880. At present mining in the area is inactive, although several of the deposits give promise of further important production.
Comrade O. V. Knowlton was over from Fullerton one day last week arranging for memorial services to be held at Anaheim cemetery on Saturday, May 29th.

NATIVE SONS ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE OF STATE HISTORY
The generous patriotism of the Native Sons of the Golden West in supporting Fellowships in Pacific Coast History at the University of California is bearing excellent fruit.
So much success has been achieved by C. E. Chapman, formerly one of these Native Sons Fellows, in his teaching this past year that he has been promoted to be assistant professor of California history. This is rapid advancement, for it is only a year ago President Wheeler telegraphed to the Grand Parlor, in session at Los Angeles, of Dr. Chapman's appointment as instructor—the first man to devote his whole time to teaching California history.
For two years previously Dr. Chapma held a Native Sons Travelling Fellowship. In Seville, in Spain, he made valuable discoveries concerning California history, in the Archivo de las Indias. Also he went to the island of Majorca, in 1913, to represent the state and the Native Sons at the celebration of the two-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Father Junipero Serra, founder of the Franciscan missions of California.
Now, moreover, Professor Chapman has been granted the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by the university. His thesis, soon to be published, is on The Preliminaries of the Spanish Advance from Sonora to California, 1687-1773. He is writing, also a volume on California, during the Spanish Period, based upon his original researches in Spain.
But the history of California must be studied in California as well as in Spain, and Dr. Chapman regards it as part of his new duties to visit and become acquainted with as many as possible of the Native Sons Parlors. Already he has spoken before several of them. Besides his regular lecture course in the university, he is to offer advanced work in California history next year. So hereafter those who go out from the university to teach in the high schools can teach history with adequate understanding of the part California has played in American life.
