PROGRESSIVES WILL FIGHT FREAK BILL PARDEE, HENEY AND WALLACE TO STUMP STATE AGAINST NON-PARTISAN MEASURE JOHNSON FACES REVOLT AMONG FORMER SUPPORTERS, WHO VIGOROUSLY OPPOSE HIS POLICY That the non-partisan bill to be voted upon at the referendum election next month is to meet serious objection, even in the ranks of the progressives, is apparent according to latest advices, in well-informed political circles. It is announced that former governor Pardee, Francis J. Heney and former lieutenant governor Wallace will stump the state in opposition to the proposed measure, and there will probably be a number of republican and democratic orators in the field disputing the claims of Gov. Johnson, that non-partisanism is the panacea for all the ill besetting politics in California. Gov. Johnson and Lieut. Gov. Eshelman will take the stump in favor of the bill, but that the latter will have any great weight with the people following his course in the senate, is to be doubted. Eshelman was elected on a dry platform, yet he voted with the wets on the dry zone bill, and has been severely censured from one end of the state to the other by his former dry supporters. That pressure was brought upon him by the governor for his action is conceded by all parties. The governor desired the dry zone bill despite points in the cities, the counties—and the state. "In other words, the people say that neither the progressive, republican, democratic, prohibitionist or Socialist political armies can be properly and effectively organized unless there be party brigades in the states, party regiments in the big cities, and party companies and platoons in the smaller cities, towns and country districts. Everybody recognizes and admits the necessity for organization as a preliminary for victories in any kind of battle, and it is often argued that victories are most often won by the party which is best organized." The Enquirer then points out that even the California progressive party put forth no small effort to effect a thorough organization last year, and that "not a small part of the great votes that Johnson, Eshleman, Webb, Richardson, Chambers and Kingsbury received last November was due to the fact that the progressive party was thoroughly organized, with state, county, city and even district committees and clubs, all busily boosting for the progressive ticket, and all spreading the propaganda of progressivism." In other words, Johnson and his lieutenants built up a great political machine. In regard to one's own party you always refer to this work as an organization and to the men in command as leaders, but the other party's organization is a machine and the men at the head are bosses. As to the future of the progressives, The Enquirer says: "Victor Murdock, the head of the progressive national committee, assures us that the national progressive party is neither dead nor even sleeping. He tells us that the party will be up and doing at the next national election. It is to be hoped that it will be. But if the people of this state are induced to vote out of existence state political parties, it is quite safe to say that the California progressive party will cut SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Cotton, Walnut Attracting Among the dots shown in the Southern California building, at the station are cotton sugar, four of South which are ahead and always price on the market.

Eshelman was elected on a dry platform, yet he voted with the wets on the dry zone bill, and has severely censured from one end of the state to the other by his former dry supporters. That pressure was brought upon him by the governor for his action is conceded by all parties. The governor desired the dry zone bill defeated in the senate, so that it could not be passed over into the assembly, where a great fight was staged for and against the bill. Had the bill passed both houses and been sent to the governor, he would have had to fish or cut bait, and as Johnson was wet in the north and dry in the south, he did not relish the proposition of showing his hand on the measure. The senate voted a tie for and against the bill, and while great pressure was brought to bear upon Eshelman by the drys to support the bill he voted with the wets, thus defeating the bill, and keeping it out of the governor's path, where it bade fair to rise up and cause him all kinds of trouble. Eshelman will have little weight with the drys, and still less with the wets. Heney has broken with the governor, for he feels that Johnson failed him in his aspirations for United States senator last year. It is known that Johnson said very little of Heney's candidacy during the 1914 campaign, and it is said that Phelan's election was largely assisted by progressives who supported him in return for votes for Johnson. Whether the statement be true or not, it is certain that Heney has broken with Johnson, and this is plainly indicated in his announcement that he will stump the state against Johnson's non-partisan measure. Johnson will be a candidate for the United States senate next year and he desires the non-partisan measure to carry at next month's election in order that he might have no political entanglements in his fight. He cannot receive the republican nomination and probably feels that in a presidential election the progressive nomination would do him little good. So he desires that his name be placed upon the ballot as a non-partisan candidate, and that all other candidates for the office shall be similarly situated. That the governor has trouble in his own political camp is evidenced from As to the future of the progressives, The Enquirer says: "Victor Murdock, the head of the progressive national committee, assures us that the national progressive party is neither dead nor even sleeping. He tells us that the party will be up and doing at the next national election. It is to be hoped that it will be. But if the people of this state are induced to vote out of existence state political parties, it is quite safe to say that the California progressive party will cut a whole lot less of a figure in the national election in 1916 than it did in 1912. For, say what you will, few of us can or will take any continued interest in any political party if that party can be resurrected only at and used only for national elections." Attention is called by the Enquirer to the fact that we have had non-partisanism in this state for some time. For a number of years we have been nominating and electing our judges without the aid of political parties. And some of the most earnest advocates of non-partisanism for all other state offices are equally earnest advocates of the appointment of judges by the governor. In fact, a constitutional amendment providing for the appointment of judges was introduced in the legislature by Senator Chandler, a very earnest, prominent and influential progressive and supporter of Governor Johnson's administration. The original argument for making the election of judges non-partisan was that non-partisanism would give us better judges free from corporation influence. The argument for the appointment of judges now is that, under the direct primary and non-partisanism, anybody can run for the nomination for judge; and that the best fellow, the most artistic glad-hander and the most favorite son is apt to be nominated and elected: "It non-partisanism has not lessened, but has rather increased, the danger of giving us poor nominees for judges, how can it be logically argued that non-partisanism will give us better nominees for Governor and other state officers?" "It won't work in practice," says the Enquirer, in drawing its article to a close, and right there is the milk in the cocoanut—non-partisanism is un-American and impractical. RUSSIAN LOSSES ARE ENORMOUS NATIONAL FORESTS month's election in order that he might have no political entanglements in his fight. He cannot receive the republican nomination and probably feels that in a presidential election the progressive nomination would do him little good. So he desires that his name be placed upon the ballot as a non-partisan candidate, and that all other candidates for the office shall be similarly situated. That the governor has trouble in his own political camp is evidenced from latest advices from the north. The Oakland Enquirer, probably the leading progressive paper in the state, and whose political policy is said to be dominated by Gov. Pardee, is out against the non-partisan bill. It calls attention to the fact that practically every California voter is a member of one of the five political parties—republican, democratic, progressive, prohibition or socialist—and that probably not one in ten thousand of the voters of the state refuses to register as a member of one of those parties. Only an insignificant minority, therefore, of our voters are strictly non-partisan—not because all of us could not, if we wanted to, refuse to register under a party banner, but because we do not want to register as non-partisan. It is entirely fair therefore, to say that the people of California are partisans and have no particular desire to be non-partisans. The Enquirer points out that not a few republicans, democrats, progressives, prohibitionists and socialists—not practical politicians, either, but plain, earnest people—also argue that their national party policies can not be well maintained, or their national parties well organized and made effective, unless the rank and file of their several parties have rallying that non-partisanism will give us better nominees for Governor and other state officers?" "It won't work in practice," says the Enquirer, in drawing its article to a close, and right there is the milk in the cocoanut—non-partisanism is un-American and impractical. RUSSIAN LOSSES ARE ENORMOUS Czar's Army of 1,400,000 Men in Galicia and Poland Annihilated by Teutons The prodigious losses suffered by the Russians in Poland are given in a recent statement issued by the Berlin war office. In May the Czar's army in Galicia, Poland and the western Russian frontier numbered 1,400,000 men. This great force, so Berlin advises state, has been annihilated, and the Grand Duke's army is now composed of troops withdrawn from other fronts, garrisons or interior fortresses and reserves. Since the battle of Gorlice 1,000,000 prisoners have been taken by the Austro-Germans and it is estimated that at least 300,000 Russians have been either killed or wounded. During the month of August alone 2000 Russian officers and 268,839 men were captured and 2300 cannon and 560 machine guns taken. Of these 20,000 prisoners and 827 cannon were captured at Kovno and 90,000 prisoners including fifteen generals and about 1000 other officers together with 1200 cannon and 150 machine guns at Novo Georgievsk. The stores of general war supplies taken at these two fortresses, it is stated, cannot even be estimated. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix bldg., Anaheim.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE Thursday, Sept. 9 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PRODUCTS AT FAIR Cotton, Walnuts, Beans and Sugar Attracting Much Attention Among the diversity of products shown in the section devoted to Southern California in the California building, at the San Francisco exposition are cotton, walnuts, beans and sugar, four of the products of the South which are steadily forging ahead and always demanding a good price on the market. The cotton acreage of the state is today confined largely to Imperial and Riverside counties where the product is said to be excelled by no other cotton. In fact California’s cotton section has been dubbed the Egypt of America. Imperial and Riverside cotton closely resembles the cotton cultivated in the Nile delta district of Egypt—a district said to be the richest in the world on account of the great alluvial deposits which have been accumulating for thousands of years. Five years ago the first bale of cotton raised in the state was ginned in Imperial county. Today the cotton acreage there consists of more than 50,000 acres with an annual output of more than 60,000 bales. This is worth $5,500,000. The walnuts featured in Southern California’s section are cultivated mainly in Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura counties. Orange county alone has more than 6,000 acres of walnuts while Ventura has more than 10,000 acres as has Los Angeles county. Southern California is also featuring beans—more than 80 varieties of them. Orange county has 35,000 acres devoted to beans, while Ventura county has 73,000 acres of which 55,000 acres are devoted to Limas, San Diego county has about 4,000. Some of the largest sugar beet fields and sugar factories in the West are located in San Bernardino, Orange, Ventura and Los Angeles counties, GITY’S PAYROLL AND EXPENSE ACCOUNT Bills to the Amount of $3839.41 Allowed Wednesday Night At the adjourned meeting of the city trustees Wednesday evening the following list of bills was allowed: E.

Robinson an inspector on the Fullerton Oil company's lease at Brea, was burned to death following an explosion of gas in a tank used in making distillate, at 11 o'clock Friday night. There is something of a mystery attached to his death. Employees on the place heard the explosion and found the tank on fire. A hole was cut in the bottom of the tank, which was filled with water and oil, and after the liquid was drawn off Robinson's body was found in the bottom badly scorched and scalded. It is supposed Robinson was on top of the tank when the explosion occurred, and that possibly he struck a match to look into it which ignited the gas. Coroner Winbigler held an inquest Saturday and returned a verdict of death from burns received in an accidental explosion. Robinson was 36 years of age and leaves a wife and six months' old daughter.

Orange county has more than 50,000 acres in sugar beets, and the acreage is annually on the increase. An immense sugar feature showing the various stages of sugar from the beet to the refined product is attracting a great deal of attention. The bean display is playing a conspicuous part because this section of the state is the greatest bean growing section of the entire world. Every variety is on display and free literature is dispensed showing the wonderful opportunities the Southland bas to offer to the bean raiser.

This official spokesman for what is left of the progressives is sure that the republican party is reactionary. If he means by that that it intends in the coming presidential campaign to reject the theoretical and plant itself squarely on the practical, he is not far from right. country has been through a trying experience. Until the war came along to act as a barrier to huge importations, the mills were in bad shape, many of them bordering on bankruptcy. The moment the war barrier is down, those deadly conditions will return—if the near free trade tariff is still in operation. This is so well understood that the fight will be made by the republican party to restore a tariff under which business and industry can prosper. The way to bring about that restoration is to defeat the democratic party and give authority to the republican. There is no half-way halting place at which the country can get off under the leadership of a progressive. For various necessities we are still dependent upon Europe. We need to manufacture dyestuffs; need to be independent in other productions heretofore imported. We cannot be unless the new industries which are so essential can have the promise of protection from foreign inroads. It may amuse Chairman Victor Murdock to dream of a great progressive party which he is to lead to victory over democratic near free trade and republican protection, but he isn't at all likely to fool very many of the people. NATIONAL FOREST TIMBER FOR SALE The U. S. forest service is offering for sale 100,000,000 feet of timber on the Plumas national forest, California. It is located in what is known as the Meadow Valley unit and is within reach of the Western Pacific Railroad. This timber is estimated to cut 60 per cent sugar and yellow pine. The tract has been cruised and appraised by the forest service and a form of contract drawn up, which allows a period of fifteen years for the cutting and removal of the timber exclusive of the time required for the construction of a mill and other improvements. In accordance with the law governing sales from the national forests, only merchantable timber is sold. It is paid for in stallments as cut. Title to the land remains with the government, and young trees are protected from fire and other damage in order to insure a second crop. Full information concerning the above timber and the conditions of sale may be obtained from the District Forester, San Francisco. Blds will be received to and including November 4, 1915. Griffith Lumber Company carries a complete and well selected line of lumber, brick, cement, lime and other building materials. It wont be found advocating the recall of judges and all that sort of dangerous nonsense. The day for trying on the country every crack-brained scheme designed to make a scrap of paper out of the constitution of the United States has gone. But it will be found demanding the establishment of republican policies and the restoration of a tariff under which the manufacturing industries can have some protection against the flood of cheap goods that will be let loose as soon as the European war is over. A stand patter will be the republican nominees, declares the progressive chairman. If he means a stand patter on protection he is not far out of the way. But let Mr. Murdock take this into consideration: The republican convention will be composed largely of delegates elected at primaries. They will not and cannot be manipulated by the national committee. They will come directly from the republican people and no one will be able to bolt that convention with the cry on his lips that he has been cheated. The candidate will be nominated by a free convention. The platform will be adopted by an unboss membership. Under such conditions, where does Mr. Murdock expect or hope to appeal for support for a distinctive bull moose candidate? For the tariff cannot fall to be the great issue. The sort of hysterical politics that turned the country upside down three years ago, Victor Murdock to the contrary notwithstanding. This official spokesman for what is left of the progressives is sure that the republican party is reactionary. If he means by that it intends in the coming presidential campaign to reject the theoretical and plant itself squarely on the practical, he is not far from right. STREAM GAGING AND HYDRAULIC SCIENCE In the great advance which applied science has made in the last generation a prominent member of the vanguard has been the stream gager—the measurer of the volume of flowing water. His rapid progress is even more notable when it is considered that his work was born hardly a generation ago. In 1889 the United States began investigation of the water resources of the country, and so little work of that kind had previously been done that the beginners felt that they were entering an entirely new field of research. Owing very largely to contributions of the engineers of the geological survey, stream gaging has developed empirically and scientifically until it comprises a field of classified knowledge which well entitles it to a dignified place among the sciences. As a science it is a sub classification of that longer recognized and more inclusive science of hydraulics. Knowledge of it is required in practically all branches of engineering, and it is being taught as a regular course in many of the leading scientific schools. The relation of stream gaging to the science of hydraulics, stream gaging as a science, and the probable future... The First National Bank Paid up Capital $50,000.
