OFFICIAL EVASION OF FACTS The campaign of political publicity work being carried on by Secretary Redfield at government expense, has been extended to include the official figures issued by his department. Because of unfair methods of presenting statistics, fair comparison is rendered difficult. For instance, in Mr. Redfield's trade review for September, 1915, recently made public, he failed to give the export balance for September, 1913, and substituted therefor the balance for the fiscal year 1910. The report says in part: "The September export balance was $146,343,919, being nine times as much as the export balance of $16,341,722 in September, 1914, and only $41,698,-371 short of the export balance for the entire fiscal year 1910. The nine months ending with September last show an export balance of $1,227,293,-504, an increase of $1,170,000,000 over that for the corresponding period of 1914 and $821,256,417 over that of 1913." The duty of the Secretary of Commerce, as required by law is to furnish impartial information concerning commerce and trade. For years it has been the custom of the tureau of foreign and domestic commerce, in giving out the monthly bulletin on imports and state current month deal out even-handed justice to the people of California, it will separate Orange from Riverside and Imperial counties, form it into a senatorial district by itself, and divide it into two representative districts. The lawmakers at Sacramento should keep an eye on the census returns from the Southland, and adjust boundary lines of the legislative districts so as to give us a just and equitable representation. We demand a square deal. Congressman Kettner, who last week announced his withdrawal from the contest for renomination next year, is said to be a candidate for United States Senator from California. HEADED RIGHT WAY There seems to have been a considerable quantity of light vouchsafed Senator Works since he first sat in the senate of the United States. Elected as a progressive-republican the Senator was distinctly cold toward the pleas for a retention of the protective tariff. In answer to a petition of California citrus growers, that he made a fight to continue a protective tariff on citrus fruits, the Senator answered somewhat in this fashion: "I will be glad to help you, if on investigation I find that you need help." On investigation, it does not appear that Mr. Works made any strenuous effort to help them; and if he did, it made no impression on the administration. But times have changed. When Mr. Works was elected in 1910, the country, under a republican tariff law, was scandalously prosperous. This condition, however, was duly corrected two years later, when the democratic administration came into power; and we hear Mr. Works, then wholly uncon- producers at another we mention it to my spring fruit buyers be no ships for this. In spite of hardship owners, which show there never has been many ships prompt fornia waters. The ing may be humiliated but that is another carry the goods and that is the aim at this moment the great Orient abreast toward New York and Wouncements of the ern Steamship Co. for $2,000,000.

As though our da corned charters are passing away on, though never might be black wring steamers. Press dispatches co quoted Secretary McAdoo as saying business man can Federal reserve be at this time. That what undoubtedly panic." In order Addo's memory, le show an export balance of $1,227,293,504, an increase of $1,170,000,000 over that for the corresponding period of 1914 and $821,256,417 over that of 1913." The duty of the Secretary of Commerce, as required by law is to furnish impartial information concerning commerce and trade. For years it has been the custom of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, in giving out the monthly bulletin on imports and exports, to state the current month with the corresponding months of the two years preceding. The unfairness of the above statement is in the words "and only $41,693,371 short of the export balance for the entire fiscal year 1910." The fiscal year 1910 happened to be the low-water mark for a trade balance under republican tariff. It was the year the Payne-Aldrich law was passed and the uncertainty of the reception of the maximum and minimum provision of that law by the foreign countries unsettled our export trade up to March 1, 1910. Therefore, the year 1910 was not a representative republican year. The fiscal year 1911 was the first full year under the republican tariff with the maximum provision in full swing and it did encourage our export trade and increase our export balances from year to year until both were throttled by the democratic tariff of Oct. 3, 1913. Our export balances under republican and democratic tariffs, according to official figures as issued by the department of commerce, are shown in the following review: The September, 1915, was export balance was $146,343,919, being nine times as much as the war export balance of $16,341,722 in September, 1914, under the democratic tariff, and only three times as much as the peace export balance of $47,155,158 in September, 1913, the last month under the republican tariff. The September, 1915, war export balance of $146,343,919, was $43,461,655 more than the export balance for the entire fiscal year 1896, the first full year under the Wilson-Gorman free trade tariff of 1894; $383,530,894 less than the export balance for the entire fiscal year of 1899, the first full year under the Dingley protective tariff of 1897; and $375,750,175 less than the export balance for the entire fiscal year 1911, the first full year under the Payne-Aldrich protective tariff of 1909. On investigation, it does not appear that Mr. Works made any strenuous effort to help them; and if he did, it made no impression on the administration. But times have changed. When Mr. Works was elected in 1910, the country, under a republican tariff law, was scandalously prosperous. This condition, however, was duly corrected two years later, when the democratic administration came into power; and we hear Mr. Works, then wholly unconcerned with threatened tariff reduction, now ruminate mournfully, thus: "Under these unfortunate commercial conditions, the war, much as it was deplored from a moral and humanitarian standpoint, came as a distinct relief, in a great degree, from a self-imposed situation that was fast driving employers of labor to bankruptcy and their employees to a pitiful condition of dependence and want. It put an end to, to a very great extent, to the ruinous foreign competition that was threatening our home industries, and at the same time increased our international trade in arms, munitions of war, food stuffs, clothing and many other products demanded by war conditions. As a result our exports increased and the imports rapidly decreased. The farmer and the domestic manufacturers had their home market restored to them by the war, new markets opened to them in foreign countries and their products brought higher prices. To those affected in this way, whether producers or manufacturers, this was a distinct gain and protected them temporarily from the disastrous consequences of the legislation that was fast destroying their markets and their trade. But this temporary relief came to but comparatively few and for it the nation is paying a fearful price. Senator Works, having seen the light, is welcome back to the ranks of the republican party, toward which he appears to be well headed. The sojourn in Washington appears to have had at least one beneficient effect."

This was double the vote cast by many of the northern districts and almost three times as large as some of them. The district was already overgrown and out of proportion before the newly-created county of Imperial was added to it. In the past three years the population of all three of the counties comprising the district has heavily increased and at the present time the registration of Orange county alone is greater than the total vote cast in the district in 1912. The vote of this county at the next general election will be twice as large as many of the senatorial districts in the north.

The Foothill Valencia house has packed and shipped during the present season 185 cars of fruit, the average price received being quite satisfactory to those concerned. The Olive Hillside Groves association, managed by J. D. Spennetta, who is also manager of the Valencia Association mentioned above, closed the present pack on Tuesday of last week and will also be shut down till preparations begin for handling the holiday fruit. This house packed and shipped during the season something above 100 cars of fruit, with prospects excellent for an increased business next year. THE SEA WILL BE FULL OF SHIPS When California was a great grain state and the surplus had to be windjammed around the Horn, there was an immense business done in "charters to arrive," which meant that every old tub which could carry wheat might come into the harbor with her outward service already contracted for, so that a shipper of wheat could not charter a ship when he was ready to ship; all he could do was to buy a charter from those who gambled in them. And not only that; the easiest way to corner grain was to corner charters, and the grain had to come to you. It was a fierce aggression and imposition upon the grain-growers; it began fifty years ago and more, and it filled the sky with wallings and profanity. We may think more of that outrage on Responding to the last republication has been a cut largely among wiltons, which repell which there is strength.

They have prevented what undoubtedly would have been a panic." In order to refresh Mr. McAdoo's memory, let it be recalled that the danger of a panic occurred in August, 1914, at the outbreak of the European war. It was not until November 16, 1914 that the reserve banks opened for business. Mr. McAdoo has unwittingly paid tribute to the amended Aldrich-Vreeland emergency currency plan, under which relief was secured by American banks. PARTY HEADQUARTERS OPEN IN DECEMBER Republican Convention will Have 90 Less Delegates Than Last One The real, regular machinery which will pick and groom the next republican and democratic candidates for president will be started up in December. With the meetings of the National committees at that time, the dates and places of meeting of the democratic and republican conventions will be decided upon. From then on, committee headquarters at Washington will be busily watching booms, primaries, delegations and the other details of the program of picking the president. Chicago, Philadelphia and San Francisco are bidding for the republican convention. The seaboard cities find Chicago's central location is the chief thing they have to combat and each is going about offsetting this in her own way. The convention will be held the latter part of June. Dallas, St. Louis, Chicago, Buffalo and Omaha are contenders for the democratic convention. Responding to a demand following the last republican convention, there has been a cut of ninety delegates, largely among the southern delegations, which represented districts in which there is little republican strength. The number cut off is as follows: Alabama, 8; Arkansas, 3; Florida, 4; Georgia, 12; Louisiana, 8; Mississippi, 8; New York, 2; North Carolina, 3; South Carolina, 7; Tennessee, 8.

RIVER COMMITTEE WANTS YOUR BRUSH Work on Diking is Progressing Satisfactorily Ranchers and others are requested not to burn any brush this year, but save it for the river protection. The fill is complete, and as soon as the piles are driven there will be work for all who wish to help along this important work. There will be wire to stretch, willows to plant and brush to haul. If you have any brush, wire, or old iron or if you will donate any work, notify me and I will arrange about the time of using it. FRANK DAVIS. Res. 222 Vine St. Phone 163-W. The different river committees have worked hard and given a great deal and Omaha are contenders for the democratic convention. Responding to a demand following the last republican convention, there has been a cut of ninety delegates, largely among the southern delegations, which represented districts in which there is little republican strength. The number cut off is as follows: Alabama, 8; Arkansas, 3; Florida, 4; Georgia, 12; Louisiana, 8; Mississippi, 8; New York, 2; North Carolina, 3; South Carolina, 7; Tennessee, 2; Texas, 14; Virginia, 9. It has been ruled that the Hawaiian, Philippines and Porto Rican delegates, numbering ten, cannot vote, and they are included in the ninety. This brings the number of republican delegates down to 988. The democratic delegation number is 1,086. In nineteen states, the delegations are now chosen by primaries, and these are looked forward to with keen interest as showing the desires of the country in the matter of candidates. The primaries will be held as follows: Indiana, March 7; Minnesota, March 14; New Hampshire, March 14; North Dakota, March 21; Michigan, April 3; Wisconsin, New York, Illinois, April 4; Iowa, April 10; Nebraska, Oregon, April 18; Massachusetts, April 25; Maryland, May 1; California, Ohio, May 9; Pennsylvania, May 16; New Jersey, May 23; South Dakota, West Virginia, June 6. In Alabama, there is a primary bill pending in the legislature and in Vermont the primary bill passed will be voted upon at a referendum this winter. Of the 988 republican delegates, 582 or considerably over half, are named in this way, and slightly over half of the democratic delegates. The remainder are chosen in caucuses. Sentiment at democratic headquarters is all Wilson. At republican headquarters officials are strictly neutral on candidates. The action to be taken by the progressive party is expected to be made fill is complete, and as soon as the piles are driven there will be work for all who wish to help along this important work. There will be wire to stretch, willows to plant and brush to haul. If you have any brush, wire, or old iron or if you will donate any work, notify me and I will arrange about the time of using it. FRANK DAVIS. Res. 222 Vine St. Phone 163-W. The different river committees have worked hard and given a great deal of time during the past two years and the result of all this work is about to be completed. A fill 4 feet high, 7 feet wide on top and 20 feet on the bottom, 5000-feet-long, has been made extending well up around the bend of the river, and soon a row of piling, and hog wire will be put in front of it with brush thrown in between. This will give Anaheim very good protection, but is costing a lot of money in spite of the very low bid made by Mr. Hilend, so the committee is still in need of funds. There are a few who have signed one or the other subscription lists, but have not paid up. Why not have a river day and all turn out to stretch wire and haul brush? James Crummle has filed suit against Roy K. Bishop county horticulturist, asking damages to the extent of $5201.50 for alleged injuries received on July 17. Crummle states in his complaint that he was driving along the street in a vehicle when Bishop ran into him, throwing him to the pavement and causing injuries for which he asks $5000. His horse also was rendered unfit for service and the vehicle damaged, causing an additional loss to him of $201.50.
