STEPHENS WANTS MORE SHIPS IN PACIFIC ADMIRAL WINSLOW DECLARES ONE GOOD BATTLESHIP COULD WIPE US OFF OCEAN LOS ANGELES CONGRESSMAN THINKS WE SHOULD NOT TRUST TO CANAL FOR HELP FORM ATLANTIC Before the naval affairs committee of the House of Representatives last week Rear Admiral Winslow, commander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet, gave some facts and figures in response to questions by Congressman Stephens of Los Angeles. One of the questions was "How many enemy battleships would it take to defeat our whole Pacific fleet?" Admiral Winslow replied, "one first-class enemy battleship could do it." As the only Pacific coast congressman on the house naval affairs committee, writes Mr. Stephens, I have deemed it my duty to fight for reasonable naval preparedness on the Pacific coast. We need battle cruisers, battleships and more submarines there. It will take years of effort and construction to get them. In my opinion every newspaper and every organization in California, Oregon and Washington, should year after year bring all possible influence to bear on the secretary of the navy, on navy officers at Washington and on YIELDING THE DICTATORSHIP The republican publicity association, through its president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., has given out the following statement at its Washington headquarters: "A fundamental and fatal weakness in the present administration has been the assumption on the part of the president and the practical admission on the part of the majority party in congress that the intelligence, wisdom, and patriotism of one man in the White House are superior to the intelligence, wisdom and patriotism of 531 men in the legislative branch of the government. President Wilson has not claimed the right to dictate to all members of congress, but he has asserted the right to dictate to the members of the majority party, which when conceded, practically confers upon him the power to dictate to all. "This is not a new subject, but it is given peculiar emphasis by U. S. Commissioner of Education, Dr. P. P. Claxton who declares that he 'has no sympathy with any scheme of philosophy or education that has a tendency to make mere machines of human beings.' This declaration, coming from the school master at the head of the educational bureau of the United States government, is in such direct contrast with the views expressed by the schoolmaster at the head of the entire executive branch of government, that it calls particular attention to the scheme or philosophy of government advocated by the president. "Dr. Claxton 'believes in the right of all individuals to be men and women, not machines.' A contrary view was expressed by President Wilson in his Indianapolis speech, when he compared the democrats in congress to aceed in imposing himself reluctant party at the corner ravishment of the which he was elected attempt to impose his aroused country at the violation of the lightly which he is now shedding inously.

We need battle cruisers, battleships and more submarines there. It will take years of effort and construction to get them. In my opinion every newspaper and every organization in California, Oregon and Washington, should year after year bring all possible influence to bear on the secretary of the navy, on navy officers at Washington and on congress to plan and build a fleet for the special protection of the Pacific coast. In time of need a Pacific fleet could reach the Atlantic coast as quickly as could an Atlantic fleet get to the Pacific coast. We need an additional navy yard on the California coast. It should be located at the place selected by a board of unprejudiced impartial, expert navy officers, after visiting every proposed and possible site. The two navy yards now on the coast should be fully equipped for the construction and repair of all kinds and sizes of navy vessels—should be ready to care for the Atlantic fleet if it had to come. I want only what we need, where we need it. I shall not vote for anything else. The facts brought out in committee are beginning to bear fruit in the East—as is shown by the following editorial in the Washington, D. C., Post of February 26, 1916, to-wit: "Representative Stephens, of California at a recent meeting of the house naval affairs committee asked Rear Admiral Badger, of the navy general board, if the policy that the navy should equal the strongest fleet afloat by 1925 had not been evolved in view of the possibility that it might be necessary for the United States to face two enemies simultaneously, one in the Pacific and one in the Atlantic. While Admiral Badger admitted that he could answer the question very readily, he felt that he should not do so in 'open court,' and the inquiry went unanswered. Nevertheless, it is a matter of common knowledge that the chief argument made in favor of spending nearly $500,000,000 on the Panama canal was that it would double the efficiency of the United States navy. Rear Admiral Badger is right when he says that the navy general board never suggested that the American fleet be divided between the two oceans, but the suggestion was made in Con- direct contrast with the views expressed by the schoolmaster at the head of the entire executive branch of government, that it calls particular attention to the scheme or philosophy of government advocated by the president. "Dr. Claxton believes in the right of all individuals to be men and women, not machines." A contrary view was expressed by President Wilson in his Indianapolis speech, when he compared the democrats in congress to a 'team' and himself to the 'captain,' asserting it to be the duty of the members of the team to abey the signals of the captain. "President Wilson not only asserted the right of a captain but has exercised it. He has outlined to certain members of Congress, who are designated and recognized as leaders, not only the subjects of legislation which should be taken up for consideration and action but has outlined to a greater or less extent the lines which that legislation should follow and has indicated what subjects of legislation shall not be taken up. In several important instances he has been saved from the humiliation of bringing misfortune upon the country only by the efforts of a few independent members of his own party, or the wise and courageous action of members of the minority party, who prevented the legislation he desired. This has particular reference to currency legislation, which would have been a failure if enacted in the form in which he proposed or endorsed it, and the ship purchase bill which certainly would have involved us in war with European countries, if it had been enacted. "There has been some evidence in the past few weeks that Democrats in congress intend to act upon their own information and judgment. There is some indication that the president has learned his short comings and will take council with men whose experience and training are far greater than his. In the meantime, we have suffered three years of bad management because of the state of mind of the chief executive; and the country still labors under the handicap and embarrassment of not knowing what changes of executive policy a day or an hour may bring forth." ONE MORE YEAR OF WILSON One year hence Woodrow Wilson will quit the White House, giving direct contrast with the views expressed by the schoolmaster at the head of the entire executive branch of government, that it calls particular attention to the scheme or philosophy of government advocated by the president. "Dr. Claxton believes in the right of all individuals to be men and women, not machines." A contrary view was expressed by President Wilson in his Indianapolis speech, when he compared the democrats in congress to a 'team' and himself to the 'captain,' asserting it to be the duty of the members of the team to abey the signals of the captain.

"Nevertheless, it is a matter of common knowledge that the chief argument made in favor of spending nearly $500,000,000 on the Panama canal was that it would double the efficiency of the United States navy. Rear Admiral Badger is right when he says that the navy general board never suggested that the American fleet be divided between the two oceans, but the suggestion was made in Congress repeatedly. Now it is admitted by the experts of the navy that the Panama canal has failed to solve the problem of defending both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans with one battle fleet. Defense of the Pacific coast requires a fleet there able to dominate that ocean. The present slides in the Panama canal will be cleared away and traffic will be resumed. No one can say, however, that the slides can be stopped for all time. And there would be disastrous consequences if on the eve of war, when the United States happened to be depending upon the canal to get part of the Atlantic fleet into the Pacific, the slides should again interrupt traffic. "While the isolation of the United States has always been considered a factor in favor of the defenses of the nation, it is nevertheless true that there is a double responsibility in protecting two coasts covering such extensive mileage. "At its present strength Rear Admiral Badger said the battle fleet should be kept in the Atlantic as a unit. "The testimony of Admiral Badger probably is the most important that has been given in the house naval affairs committee. It shows the need for a definite naval policy with reference to the Pacific Ocean. Since it must be a matter of years before defense can be provided, wisdom dictates the early formation of a definite policy." In the meantime, we have surfered three years of bad management because of the state of mind of the chief executive; and the country still labors under the handicap and embarrassment of not knowing what changes of executive policy a day or an hour may bring forth." ONE MORE YEAR OF WILSON One year hence Woodrow Wilson will quit the White House, giving place to some man who will have received the united support of the anti-democratic majority which undoubtedly exists in this country and who will thus restore majority rule in national affairs. In the year which remains to him in the presidency, Woodrow Wilson has an opportunity to undo much of the evil which his administration has already done to the country—and he equally has the opportunity to add to the distress and humiliation which he has thus far brought upon us. No one can fortell the president's choice in the next fateful twelve months. There are those who affect to see in his recently changed attitude toward the question of national defense, toward the question of a tariff commission, toward the problem of supplying the treasury with sufficient revenues, toward all of the problems concerning which he has reversed himself—there are those, we repeat, who think that Mr. Wilson is now morseful for his previous conduct and that he is seeking such measure of atonement as the short time at his disposal will permit. We are not of this number. We believe that all of the president's reversals of policy have been dictated by consideration of self-interest, and that he is much more concerned with his own future as a candidate for reelection than he is with the future of the country.

THE EXTRAORDINAY LEGISLATURE The recent extraordinary session of the legislature called by Gov. Johnson was one of the most regrettable ses Richardson will be heard from before this flasco reaches its end. Another result likely to flow from the provocations of this extraordinary session is the initiation of a measure to do away with the present system RETAINING THE TARIFF ON RAW SUGAR One of the best arguments for the republican protective tariff policy has been furnished by the democratic party." This comment is made by Representative Charles B. Timberlake of Colorado on the recent action of the democratic caucus pledging support to the bill for retaining the present duty on sugar. "In the first place, this proposal to maintain the present sugar tax is an admission by the democrats of the financial failure of their administration," said Mr. Timberlake. "Confronted by an ever increasing deficit in the treasury, and at their wits' end how to meet it, they are forced to recognize republican principle to prevent a further annual loss of about $40,000,000 in revenue. Furthermore, the secondary effect of the democratic reduction of about 50 cents per hundred pounds in the sugar duty constitutes another admission of failure. When the democrats advocated free sugar, they claimed that the price of sugar to the consumer would be reduced in proportion to the reduction in duty. But what are the facts? "The partial reduction in the sugar duty wiped out the cane sugar industry in the United States. It partially destroyed the beet sugar industry and completely blocked its further development. It conferred a benefit upon the sugar industry in foreign countries. It reduced the annual customs revenues about ten millions. At the same time the price of sugar in America has remained practically the same. In short, this one item in the democratic tariff law has reduced our revenues, tremendously damaged American industry, aided foreign competitors, and has been of no benefit whatever to American consumers. "It is not surprising that individual THE EXTRAORDINAY LEGISLATURE The recent extraordinary session of the legislature called by Gov. Johnson was one of the most regrettable sessions of that body ever held in California. It failed utterly to meet the demands of the situation calling for remedy, cost the state nearly twice as much as was named in the message conveying it, and enacted abortive legislation regarding a state normal school that never should have been proposed. Among other things conspicuously to be condemned, in connection with this session, is the action of the governor in dictatorially naming in his message not only the subject matter of proposed legislation, but in going to the length of specifying how that legislation should be framed. In effect, the message usurped the legislative function as completely as though the bills which he dictated should be passed had been recited in his call for the session. He not only designated the purpose of the session, but went further and indicated the particular manner in which it should do his bidding. In this instance, California probably came nearer to subjection to the will of a dictator than at any other moment of her history. In it a dangerous precedent was established which, at another time, may rise to vex us. Not only did it thwart the legislature in its purpose to respond to the will of the people, as expressed at the election of October 26, 1915, but it furnished a precedent whereby any future executive may enforce personal legislation in open disregard and defiance of the constitution and the will of the people of the state of California. From the step thus taken to legislation by the executive branch of the state government is a short one, in the same direction. That the session resulted in a marked shrinkage of Governor Johnson's hold upon the confidence of the people and a distinct diminution of his following, is only, in the opinion of the Oakland Enquirier, what was to have been expected. He emerges from his "victory" much worse off than had been deftified in the session. Com- Richardson will be heard from before this fiasco reaches its end. Another result likely to flow from the provocations of this extraordinary session is the initiation of a measure to do away with the present system of executive control of the legislative branch through executive appointments of legislators to lucrative positions. Thirteen legislators are today enjoying fat jobs at the state's expense in the governor's political service. It is this company af salaried cohorts which is responsible for the results of the recent session. Without them the nonpartisan legislation passed at the governor's dictation could not have been passed. This group, and this alone, made Johnston program possible. Without it the voters of the state could not have been betrayed. With it Governor Johnson put over his "smart" political trick. A BANNER YEAR The year 1916 promises to be a banner period for Southern California in the production of sugar beets. In the Chino district alone the total area in beets this year is about 4500 acres, a noticeable increase over the acreage of last season. At Arlington, between Corona and Riverside, the American Beet Sugar Company has in this year between 700 and 800 acres. The Arlington land is leased by the company and seeded to beets to prove out the adaptability of the soil. Large caterpillar tractors are at work there now, plowing the land. Beets from a total of 48,000 acres will be sliced and made into sugar and the several by-products by the American Beet Sugar company in its Chino and Oxnard factories this year. This is an increase of 16,000 acres over the area planted in territory tributary to the company last year. Next year the acreage will be still larger. Besides the Chino district, Southern California districts where beets are raised for the company referred to include those about Compton, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, Garden Grove, Arlington, Corona, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Fernando, Pomona and others. REFORMS IN SEED SELECTION Farmers are doing much more than formerly in cooperative methods of securing a supply of the best seed. That there has been much carlessness in this respect is well known, yet the evil results of the negligence have not been denied. On good seed depends not only quick, vigorous germination, but the early ripening so important in saving the crop. One of the most successful growers of corn on a single acre concerned himself chiefly with a choice selection of seed. He holds that with this assured any intelligent system of cultivation will produce the exceptional yield desired. Agricultural associations, state and county, have taken up the subject in many localities, and farmers are disposed to encourage the work practically and zealously. Pulling together to accomplish the end is clearly a good thing. None know better than tillers of the soil that the seed used has often been untested and of doubtful quality. Trusting to luck in such a matter is a costly mistake. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix bldg., Anaheim. That the session resulted in a marked shrinkage of Governor Johnson's hold upon the confidence of the people and a distinct diminution of his following, is only, in the opinion of the Oakland Enquirer, what was to have been expected. He emerges from his "victory" much worse off than had he been deafed in the session. Coming upon the heels of his emphatic defeat last fall, his popularity has become a negligible quantity. Out of the unsatisfactory situation now presented—which pleases nobody—several results may flow. The most likely is that the referendum will be invoked as to Bill No. 1, leaving Bill No. 2, which relates to the presidential primary, undisturbed. Bill No. 1 amends the direct primary law, making it conform to the odious nonpartisan legislation passed at the 1915 session. This is the bill wherein the straddle was effected which the administration obstinately framed to save its face. It is the bill solemnly, but hypocritically, put forth as a response to the people's will that no partyism in California should not be established. It is a legislative objection, a rank evasion, a shallow deceit. Regarding the San Francisco normal school legislation little need be said. Like the partisan legislation, it went through under the sanction, if not the command of, the administration. It was merely a part of the program which the executive and legal department at Sacramento framed and pushed along. Though it is merely in the nature of enabling legislation, it is none the less vicious and unwarranted. The only hope is that, before any funds become available to make it effective a change may come to its undoing. Doubtless, Treasurer This is an increase of 16,000 acres over the area planted in territory tributary to the company last year. Next year the acreage will be still larger. Besides the Chino district, Southern California districts where beetles are raised for the company referred to include those about Compton, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, Garden Grove, Arlington, Corona, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Fernando, Pomona and others. The Chino factory will run about thirty days longer this season than in the average year, making the length of the campaign about 130 days. During that time some 10,000 tons of sugar will be made. Besides the sugar thousands of tons of "absco," a feed for horses and cows, will be turned out. Wednesday the American Beet Sugar company distributed from its Chino factory approximately $20,000 to the various beet raisers there and in other tributary districts. The money is a bonus to the farmers, bearing out a promise made when the contracts were signed for the season of 1915—an additional 50 cents per ton if the sugar maintained a price for the total output of the Chino factory of as much as 4½ cents per pound. As the other factories of the state have practically closed out their product at 4½ cents or better, the company decided the price would not drop and declared the bonus ready for distribution. The company also gladdened the hearts of the farmers by sending out circular letters declaring the money payable March 1, instead of July 1 as the terms read. Although there is a great deal heard about the impoverished beet seed supply, there is no shortage or fear of a shortage in the supply of seed about Chino.
