With the clear vow long study of political conditions these stripped the measure and exposed it in vain and viciousness. Some of them a measure is proposed is dangerously foolishly declare that duties and responsibility result in the cal machine that people into selfish hands. In discussing their did not refer especial conditions or men; to deal with the fun involved as it might other state, or the But when they pay or probable effect bill and predict that parties means boss dangerous kind then the menace that threatens of this state and wilians are vigorous.

Granting that he enough to build up a he or any other manatee such a situation people practically att NONPARTISANISM A MENACE TO VOTERS PROPOSED TO ABOLISH PARTIES IN CALIFORNIA INSTIGATED BY BOSSISM CONGRESSMEN RECENTLY HERE VIGOROUSLY DENOUNCE GOV. JOHNSON'S PET MEASURE A number of eastern congressmen, who recently visited this section gave expression to sentiments severely condemning the proposed non-partisan measure to be voted upon by the people of California this fall. There exists no doubt that Gov. Johnson desires to destroy partisan politics as a stepping stone in his campaign for the United States senatorship next year. The governor bolted the national republican convention at Chicago with Col. Roosevelt three years ago, and has not since affiliated with that party which elected him to the governorship in his first campaign. Roosevelt will undoubtedly attend next year's national convention as a delegate from the state of New York. He has announced his purpose of supporting any candidate for president nominated by the republican party excepting Mr. Taft. Johnson, on the other hand, is seeking to destroy the republican party in California. He cannot hope to receive that party's nomination for the senatorship, and he desires to go before the people as a non-partisan nominee for that office. Republicans and democrats throughout ing no allegiance to party, being responsible to no tangible organization nor body of citizens, with no agency to call him to account except the ineffectual protest of the individual, such a boss would hold the people in much firmer and more ruthless grip than did ever the worst party machine that ever existed in this country. "Parties add to the responsibility of the individual," said Congressman Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming. "A party, having vouched for a man, can and does take measures to make it certain that that man lives up to the pledges made by him on his own behalf and on behalf of his party and upon which the people relied when they voted for him. "Adopting nonpartisan rule, destroying parties and eliminating party lines would create autocrats and bosses of the worst kind. Such a condition would enable a strong man to build up a personal machine. Such a man would not want to be responsible to any party. He would owe no allegiance to any such organization. There would be no effective check on his ambitions and political desires. The people would be the sufferers and, lacking organization or coherent form would be unable to protect themselves." "It is true that, under party organization, there is danger of bossism and machine rule, but under nonpartisan regime the menace would be a great deal worse. The candidate put forth by a party stands for a lot of people who are in a position to control him. He goes definitely on record as supporting well defined principles and platforms. Voters are able to know where and how he stands and as he continues in office can see how far he falls in living up not only to pledges made by him personally, but by his party." Erasure of party lines, in the opinion of Congressman James R. Mann ROAD MODELS Many Kinds of Roads Illustrated by Models, Construction of Split Log Drag The exhibit of road models shown for the first time in 1909 by the Office of Public Roads of the department of agriculture at the Alaska Youkon Pacific exposition has been in active service ever since. Hundreds of thousands of people have seen these models at a dozen or more of the big agricultural expositions, and they have traveled much of the length and breadth of the United States on demonstration trains. A comprehensive exhibit is now being made at the Panama Pacific exposition at San Francisco. People who have seen these miniature model roads not only appreciate the beneficial effects of improved roads but at the same time understand the methods of their construction. In order that these models may have a still greater usefulness, they have been photographed and form the basis of illustrations of a new United States department of agriculture bulletin No. 220, Road Models. The models as a rule, are constructed on a scale of 1 inch to a foot, so that each model is one-twelfth the size of the actual road which it represents. Among the later methods of road building which are pictured and described are the brick, concrete, asphalt block, macadam, sand-clay, gravel and earth roads. Still other models show the processes of maintenance, resurfacing, and bituminous macadam construction by the mixing and penetration methods. Recent additions to the series illustrate road location and roadside treatment, drainage, strengthening unstable foundations, etc. The history of road construction, dealing with the early methods employed in Italy and France, is follow- year's national convention as a delegate from the state of New York. He has announced his purpose of supporting any candidate for president nominated by the republican party excepting Mr. Taft. Johnson, on the other hand, is seeking to destroy the republican party in California. He cannot hope to receive that party's nomination for the senatorship, and he desires to go before the people as a non-partisan nominee for that office. Republicans and democrats throughout the state will oppose the measure, which passed the legislature at its recent session, and would have been up for a referendum vote at the general election next year. However, Gov. Johnson desires that its provisions apply in next year's campaign, and he has therefore resolved to put the people of the state to an expense of a million dollars for a special election to vote upon the bill this coming fall. The purpose of the special election, which the governor has been given authority by the legislature to call, is not stated to be for the purpose of voting upon this non-partisan measure, but to decide whether the people of California, wish to vote an additional $15,000,000 of road bonds, and to vote upon various other amendments to the constitution passed by the legislature. This is, of course, the ostensible reason for putting taxpayers of the state to the expense of an unnecessary election. Those matters might just as well have gone over until next year's election. There exists no necessity for the state plunging headlong into further bonded indebtedness. With hard times enveloping the country from one end to the other, and the various amendments to be submitted to the people could, with equal propriety have remained in abeyance until the next general election, but the governor desires the non-partisan measure to be effective next year, when it is understood he will be a candidate for the United States senatorship. This seems to be the real reason for putting the people to the expense of a special election. It remains to be seen what the people will do with this new-fangled idea of political hocus-pocus. With the clear vision gained by lifelong study of political and economic conditions these congressmen have stripped the measure of its fallacies and exposed it in all its foolishness and viciousness. Some of them say that if such a measure is proposed in good faith it put forth by a party stands for a lot of people who are in a position to control him. He goes definitely on record as supporting well defined principles and platforms. Voters are able to know where and how he stands and as he continues in office can see how far he falls in living up not only to pledges made by him personally, but by his party." Erasure of party lines, in the opinion of Congressman James R. Mann of Illinois, would result in chaotic conditions bordering on anarchy. "The party is the safeguard of the individual," he said, "and whatever faults it may have is infinitely better than political rule by demagogues and bosses that owe no allegiance to any party oragnization. "Destroy parties and you take a long step backward in civilization. Non partisan rule would enable men with millions of money at their command or with ability to stampede voters by stirring oratory to control politics and legislation for their own purposes." "I am absolutely opposed to such a non partisan measure," said United States Senator Lee Slater Overman of North Carolina. "There can be no good work in legislative bodies without parties. With parties there will be better and wiser laws. An official is much more likely to do good work and protect his constituents if he represents a party and its principles and owes allegiance to them. The voter is consequently better protected." "It is impossible," said Congressman George W. Rauch of Indiana. "I do not mean to say that a non partisan measure may not be passed, but it would not eliminate parties. If present organizations are disintegrated other parties or machines are bound to spring up. There can be no doubt that such new machines would have much greater possibilities for evil than could exist under present conditions." "I believe in party government," said Congressman Swaga. Sherley of Kentucky. "Party platforms and principles are a protection to the people and make candidates responsible." "The system of non-partisan politics is in a measure being tried out in Minnesota," said Congressman Charles R. Davis of that state. "It certainly has created unusual and unreasonable situations and is far from proving the success anticipated. At that I don't believe it is as drastice in are the brick, concrete, saphalt block, macadam, sand-clay, gravel and earth roads. Still other models show the processes of maintenance, resurfacing, and bituminous macadam construction by the mixing and penetration methods. Recent additions to the series illustrate road location and roadside treatment, drainage, strengthening unstable foundations, etc. The history of road construction, dealing with the early methods employed in Italy and France, is followed with discussions and illustrations of the most modern ways of road building. With the widely varying conditions in the United States the scope of road building is necessarily large, and in many sections roads must be constructed largely of the material at hand. In the section dealing with earth roads the subject of the split log drag is treated as follows: A suitable drag can be made from a log 7 or 8 inches in diameter and from 6 to 8 feet long. It should be carefully split and the halves, with the flat sides vertical and facing to the front, connected by stakes. The halves, though of the same length, are joined so that one end of the rear half is from 16 to 20 inches nearer the center of the road than the corresponding end of the front half. An ordinary trace chain and a set of double trees are then attached in such a manner that when the earth toward the road center. Be pulled along the road at an angle of about 45 degrees, with the forward end nearest the ditch in order to move the earth tawdor the road center. The drag should be light enough to be lifted by one man. A platform is usually placed on the cross stakes to strengthen the drag and furnish a place for the driver to stand. After a little practice a man can learn how best to shift his weight so as to make the drag cut, spread and pack the earth properly. Filling the ruts by dragging up one side of the road and down the other is all that should be undertaken first time, but this should be repeated after each heavy rain. As a mile of road can be dragged in a few hours this method of maintenance is simple and inexpensive. If the drag is used in conjunction with the road machine, fairly good earth roads can be built at a small expense. Dragging is done for 50 cents per mile in some parts of the country. NOTICE With the clear vision gained by lifelong study of political and economic conditions these congressmen have stripped the measure of its fallacies and exposed it in all its foolishness and viciousness. Some of them say that if such a measure is proposed in good faith it is dangerously foolish. Others openly declare that destruction of party tiles and responsibilities would probably result in the rearing of a political machine that would deliver the people into selfish and unscrupulous hands. In discussing the matter these men did not refer especially to California conditions or men. They were asked to deal with the fundamental principle involved as it might affect this or any other state, or the whole nation. But when they picture the possible or probable effect of a nonpartisan bill and predict that abolition of the parties means bossism of the most dangerous kind they really describe the menace that threatens the people of this state and which alert Californians are vigorously opposing. When Theodore Roosevelt ruthlessly and selfishly split the Republican party because Mr. Taft was nominated for president instead of himself he virtually disfranchised millions of people. It was an efoftr to secure autocracy that failed. Now Gov. Johnson, in the opinion of many clear-thinking men, is seeking to become the boss of this state to satisfy his lust for power and the selfish ends of his political backers. Granting that he would be strong enough to build up a private machine he or any other man that could create such a situation would have the people practically at his mercy. Ow- I believe in party government, said Congressman Swaga. Sherley of Kentucky. "Party platforms and principles are a protection to the people and make candidates responsible." "The system of non-partisan politics is in a measure being tried out in Minnesota," said Congressman Charles R. Davis of that state. "It certainly has created unusual and unreasonable situations and is far from proving the success anticipated. At that I don't believe it is as drastice in its effects as the bill proposed for California, which has no limit to its eradication of party, would be. Because I have been elected under a similar system is no reason why I should indorse its shortcomings, which are acknowledged to be very numerous and which have a tendency to bring voters back to the idea of parties." "Preposterous," declared Congressman F. H. Gillette of Massachusetts as he epitomized the entire situation in one word. "Individuals, standing alone, no matter what their mentality, ability or scope may be, will fail to prove efficient statesmen unless held responsible by something more than the generality of the people. Such responsibility can only come through party organization which has certain set lines for guidance and which will prove the bulwark for keeping a politician in the path where his efforts will do most good." "Non partisanship may be all right in municipal government, but it is absolutely essential that there be some national party, setting forth a program or platform to help in the guidance of national affairs," said Congressman Boreland of Kansas City, Mo. "This basic idea cannot be put out of the way by state legislation, and if it were coming to a time where there is no Republican or no Democratic party, through non-partisanship some other party will be created au-tomatically. There are too many issues in governmental affairs to allow parties to die." to San Diego’s Fair special reduced rates account the Exposition —from here $4.00 round trip Tickets on sale June 26 and 27—you can remain there 10 days Spend at least part of your vacation in San Diego.
