GEO. C. PARDEE MAKES STRONG POINTS FORMER GOVERNOR OF STATE GIVES COGNENT REASONS FOR DEFEAT OF NON-PARTISANISM SUPPORTER OF GOV. JOHNSON LEADS FIGHT AGAINST FREAK MEASURES AT REFERENDUM ELECTION Following is a continuation of the series of arguments made by former Governor George C. Pardee against the non-partisan bill to be voted upon at the referendum election on the 26th inst. Gov. Pardee is one of the foremost men in the state, and although for years a supporter of Gov. Johnson, is outspoken in his denunciation of the proposed non-partisan freak bills. His arguments are of especial interest to the people of California at this time and should be read with interest by every voter in the state. They are reproduced from the Wayfarer’s comments in the Oakland Enquirer: “A Rose by any Other Name”— The republican, or democratic, or progressive party of a state has very different problems to face than the national parties bearing the same names. But governors and legislators, as members of and nominated by the republican, democratic and progressive national parties, can be trusted—California’s experience during the last five years has demonstrated that—to give good governments. Only so long as the machine controlled the party nominations for governors and legislators did we get machine governors and legislators. And these governors and legislators were machine governors and machine legislators, not because they were republicans or democrats have been elected nonpartisanally? Let’s Wait for the Commission’s Report— One reason advanced in advocacy of this taxation amendment to the constitution is that the present constitution prescribed method is not flexible enough. The inference is that the legislature, if given the power so to do, can formulate a flexible taxation plan that will be more satisfactory than the present one. All right; if it can, why hasn’t it done so, and proposed to us, in the form of a constitutional amendment, that flexible taxation plan? But the legislature has done better than that. It has created a commission whose duty it will be to formulate and present a flexible taxation scheme to the next session of the legislature. What’s the matter with continuing under the present constitutional taxation scheme until this commission has satisfactorily reported? Perhaps it may be able to give us a sufficiently flexible taxation scheme in the form of a constitutional amendment, which, if it suits us, we can adopt, and, if it doesn’t suit us, we can reject. But, in the meantime, it is proposed that we shall not wait for the report of the commission, but shall strike out of the constitution and put into the hands of the legislature the power to fix, and change at every legislative session our taxation scheme. Wouldn’t it be a sensible thing to vote down this proposed constitutional amendment and wait for the report and the recommendations of the taxation commission. What’s the hurry? We have had, since 1910 three good legislatures. Not one of them has been able to propose to us a flexible taxation scheme. Will any future legislature be able to do any better? Of course, the next legislature will have before it the report and recommendations of the tax commission. But, if we adopt this proposed constitutional amendment and give the legislature the power to do as it wants to, who can guarantee that the legislature will adopt the commission’s plan? Who can guarantee that that plan will be satisfactory to the people, even if the legislature should adopt it? Of if it be satisfactory to the people and is adopted by the next legislature, who can guarantee that every following legislature will not amend and change?

RURAL CREDITS al Amendment 41 of art 187 different problems to face than the national parties bearing the same names. But governors and legislators, as members of and nominated by the republican, democratic and progressive national parties, can be trusted—California's experience during the last five years has demonstrated that—to give good governments. Only so long as the machine controlled the party nominations for governors and legislators did we get machine governors and legislators. And these governors and legislators were machine governors and machine legislators, not because they were republican or democratic nominees, but because they were machine nominees. As soon as the people got control of the parties, we instantly ceased to get machine governors and legislators. But we still got republicans, democrats, progressives, prohibitionists and socialists as governors and legislators. The only difference between the governors and legislators of 1909 and 1915, for instance, is that while all of the former were party partisans, some of them were machine partisans; but of the latter, all being party partisans, only a few were chosen by the machine. The people, from the parties and by the direct primary chose the governor and the majority of the legislature of 1915. Machine Partisans— The truth of the matter is, or course, that the partisans in the various legislatures concerning which Mr. Hichborn and a lot of the rest of us have so rightly complained were not objects of complaint because they were republican or democratic partisans, but because they were partisans of the machine. That was the only difference between the republican and democratic machine goats and the republican and democratic sheep who were not machine partisans. Who will assert that these machine partisans would have been any less machine partisan if they had been nominated and elected partylessly nonpartisanly? "The rank is but the guilena's stamp; the mon's the gowd for a that." Johnson makes just as good a governor, whether he be elected partisany or nonpartisany. And parties controlled by the people, by means of the direct primary, are at least no more dangerous than partyless nonpartisanism. Experience has demonstrated that partisanism, plus the direct primary, can give us first class governors and legislatures. To deny that would be equivalent to saying that Governor Johnson, Lieutenant Governor Wallace, Lieutenant Governor Eshleman, and the legislatures of 1911, 1913, and 1915 would have been better had they been chosen nonpartisanly, instead of partisanly. An Fortunate Illustration— Mr. Hichborn is somewhat unfortunate in his selection of illustrations to prove that nonpartisanism in the selection of legislation divorces such legislators from their devotion to their party principles. He instances Assemblyman Harris, of Kern county, who although a Socialist, was nominable to do any better? Of course, the next legislature will have before it the report and recommendations of the tax commission. But, if we adopt this proposed constitutional amendment and give the legislature the power to do as it wants to, who can guarantee that the legislature will adopt the commission's plan? Who can guarantee that that plan will be satisfactory to the people, even if the legislature should adopt it? Of if it be satisfactory to the people and is adopted by the next legislature, who can guarantee that every following legislature will not amend and change and monkey with it? To adopt this proposed constitutional amendment would be foolish under any circumstances. To adopt it while a commission is formulating a report and recommendations for our consideration is worse than foolish. RECORD OF MISMANAGEMENT Vast governmental operations involving the expenditure of more than one hundred million dollars were practically paralyzed for over a month last year by failure of congress to properly enact necessary legislation. The tie-up was tantamount to a strike with hundreds of thousands of men idle, according to government officials charged with expenditure of the funds controlled by the legislation. The amount was contained in what is popularly termed the sundry civil bill. In order to carry out the plans on which it was based, the bill had to be passed by June 30. It did not pass until more than a month later. For the intervening time none of the future work contemplated in the legislation could be started. It would take hundreds of pages to describe the disastrous results of this needless delay. Only a mere hint can be given of the activities the sundry civil bill provided for. It is one of the largest supply bills Congress has to handle, and includes nearly 4 million dollars for improvement and maintenance of soldier's homes; two and a half millions for the protection of public health; seven millions and more for keeping up life saving stations and light houses; over one million for fortifications on the Panama canal; over three and a half millions to enable the interstate commerce commission to continue the physical valuation of railroads and other important activities; more than thirteen millions for building quarantine stations, hospitals and other public buildings theretofore authorized; and numerous other less striking features. "It is imperative that the funds for purposes like this shall be made available with the beginning of the fiscal year," said a government official in discussing this subject. "Every day's delay after that is nearly a total loss. Funds really ought to be ready by May 1 of each year; but to fail to provide them by July 1, and have to resort to resolutions continuing old appropriations," as congress Mr. Hichborn is somewhat unfortunate in his selection of illustrations to prove that nonpartisanism in the selection of legislature divorces such legislators from their devotion to their party principles. He instances Assemblyman Harris, of Kern county, who although a Socialist, was nominated by all five parties. Mr. Harris made a good assemblyman. Yet, even though he was nominated by all five parties, he was not a nonpartisan, but was a socialist, and voted for every measure which he considered to agree with the tenets of the socialist party, and against every measure which he considered to be opposed to the principles of that party. Being an honest man, he couldn't help but do these two things. Even had there been partyless nonpartisan elections when Mr. Harris was elected, he still would have been, in spite of the nonpartisan method by which he would have been chosen, a socialist, and would, of course, have voted as such in the legislature. Lieutenant Governor Eshleman was nominated by the progressive and the republican parties; Surveyor General Kingsbury by the progressive and democratic parties; Attorney General Webb, Controller Chambers and Treasurer Richardson by the progressive, the republican and democratic parties. Will anybody claim that any of these men are, therefore, nonpartisans or anything but staunch partisan progressives? Governor Johnson could not have been re-elected if only those who had registered as progressives had voted for him. Many thousands of republicans, democrats, socialists and prohibitionists cast their ballots for him. Should he, therefore, be classed as a nonpartisan? Should he, therefore, repudiate his fealty to the progressive party and his adherence to the tenets of that party? Was Stitt Wilson, as mayor of Berkeley, any less a socialist partisan because he was nonpartisanly nominated and elected? Would Jom Harriman, if he had been elected mayor of Los Angeles, have been any less a Socialist because he was nominated and would portant activities; more than thirteen millions for building quarantine stations, hospitals and other public buildings theretofore authorized; and numerous other less striking features. "It is imperative that the funds for purposes like this shall be made available with the beginning of the fiscal year," said a government official in discussing this subject. "Every day's delay after that is nearly a total loss.. Funds really ought to be ready by May 1 of each year; but to fail to provide them by July 1, and have to resort to resolutions continuing old appropriations, as congress was forced to do, in this instance, is sheer waste. From ten to fifteen per cent of the amount of an appropriation is a total loss if it is not passed before July 1. If the money wasted in delayed appropriations during the last four years could be made available now, we would not need to be devising ways and means to replenish the treasury. The waste would probably more than cover the estimated deficit." The crime of delaying action on appropriation bills was emphasized in the recent spring session of Congress. Within 36 hours of the time for adjournment only two relatively unimportant bills had been enacted. Yet in the brief hours before noon of March 4, the enormous sum of about one billion dollars was authorized to be expended. This performance was an appropriate close to a record of mismanagement that is unparalleled in the history of our government. Many people practice numerous economies, but somehow their bank accounts are a sorry succession of goose eggs. Why economize if you do not deposit something in a bank? The Anaheim National Bank welcomes small accounts. Consult Griffith Lumber company before buying your material if you contemplate building. It may be to your interest. Dr. M. M.

JOHN KELLENBERGER, Marshal and ex-officio Tax Collector of the City of Anaheim. SANTA FE RAILROAD DECLARES A DIVIDEND Net Earnings During Fiscal Year Amounted to $35,919,609 The fiscal year ending June 30, 1915 was the largest as to earnings, both The company paid a five per cent dividend on preferred stock and six per cent on common stock. It was able to do this because it pays an average of only slightly more than four per cent on its bonded debt, much of the debt having been created when money could be obtained at or near that rate. The average rate of income on property investment in the nineteen and a half years, under the present management is four and nine-tenths per cent. After paying interest and dividends, the directors put the balance of the earnings back into the property in order to keep it in the best possible physical condition. Through sundry adjustments the company found $11,421 which it carried to surplus making a total surplus account of $20,581,221, which has accumulated during the nineteen and a half years of the present management. A fund to be called upon should any adverse condition arise. The total expense for operation during the year was $78,248,812. The company's taxes for the system were $5,497,316.
