DANGERS OF GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP There is one important public problem which received very little attention in the recent campaign but which figures very largely in our present government evolution, and which should be given the careful thought and action of the American people. This is in reference to the tendency toward government ownership. We are looking to the national government to do a great many of the things heretofore attended to by the states, and the national government is engaging in some lines of enterprise which have heretofore been directed by individuals and private corporations. The establishment of an armor plate plant, the provision for a nitrate plant, and the ship purchase bill, are but illustrations of a movement which seems to have gained much impetus during the last three years looking to a still more extended participation of the government in industrial activity. We may readily expect a revival of the agitation in favor of government ownership of telegraph and telephone systems, followed by agitation in favor of government ownership of the railroads. With all these public service institutions owned, instead of merely regulated, by the government, and with all the employees on the government pay roll we would be confronted by two great dangers: first, partisan political control of the government through the machinery which a large government pay roll afforded. Dimas association sold their crop this season for $410,000 more than last year. In 1915 the association raised an enormous crop of lemons and its total return from sales amounted to only $140,000. This year it grew less lemons, but it sold $550,868.23 worth of them, realizing $410,000 more on the year's harvest than the crop brought the year before. The 343 growers are each $1396 ahead of their last year income from the same number of acres. This record exceeds that of the L. Verne Orange Growers' Association, the growers of which each got $1000 more for their fruit this year than they received for it last year. According to the report of Lucien Taylor, who is president of the association, 228,650 boxes of lemons were shipped this season. The net return for this amount of fruit was $605,073.92. The average cost of a packed box of lemons was given as being a fraction less than 54 cents. The average price paid to growers for all lemons was $2.71. The "Pet" brand led all others for the San Dimas growers, averaging $3.68 per box in all pools. FOREST FIRE SEASON Although final figures are not yet available, reports received by the forest service indicate that the forest fire season in the west is practically at an end. At the same time, say the officials, the fall fire season is just beginning on the national forests in the Southern Appalachians. The difference in the occurrence of the fire season. It is explained, is caused by the difference in the character of the forests and of the climate in the two regions. In the west the forests are composed almost entirely of conifers and are located at comparatively high altitudes or higher latitudes. The greatest fire danger in these regions, the foresters say, occurs during the late spring and summer. OUR NATION "The nation's definite defense is an fruits," says the tee on National statement just lately is agog, for the results of the great shipyards display eager concern for the country may ships will be delayed in record time.

With all these public service institutions owned, instead of merely regulated, by the government, and with all the employees on the government pay roll we would be confronted by two great dangers: first, partisan political control of the government through the machinery which a large government pay roll affords; second, lack of that keen competition which improves efficiency in service. Heretofore, railroads have been built into those regions where there seemed to be most likelihood of development of traffic. Under government ownership we should have to a large extent a substitution of a new policy in this respect. New railroad lines would be built where the most influential members of the party in power might decide, and those communities not represented by influential members of the administration would frequently be neglected. That government owned railroads and telegraph lines would sometimes be in the control of inexperienced, and therefore, incompetent public officials, has been demonstrated by our experience in the post office department in the last three years. In many places the rural mail service was demoralized, the officials of the post office department forced a great many star route contractors into bankruptcy through unjust exactions under their bonds, and favoritism was shown in the establishment of new mail service. Moreover, the merit system was disregarded in the appointment of fourth class postmasters and these positions were used for political reward. We can expect nothing if we finally enter upon a policy of government ownership and operation of railroad and telegraph lines. It behooves the American people, therefore, to give this subject not only careful thought but frequent public discussion so that their opposition to a general policy of paternalism may be made clearly known to their representatives in Congress and to the executive branch of the government. SOME NATIONAL PROBLEMS When Congress meets on the 4th of December, one of its earliest tasks will be that of drafting and passing the appropriation bills for the fiscal The difference in the occurrence of the fire season. it is explained, is caused by the difference in the character of the forests and of the climate in the two regions. In the west the forests are composed almost entirely of conifers and are located at comparatively high altitudes or higher latitudes. The greatest fire danger in these regions, the foresters say, occurs during the late spring and summer months, when the rainfall is light. During the rest of the year, there is, as a rule, enough rain and snow to prevent fires from starting. On some of the forests in Southern California however, the fall rains are sometimes late in coming and the fire fighting organization must often remain on duty until late in November. In the Southern Appalachians, however, the situation is practically reversed. The forest is largely composed of hardwoods and the heaviest rainfall occurs in the spring and summer and about two months in late winter. As a result, there are two distinct fire seasons. The first of these occurs in the fall, when there is usually little rain and the ground is covered with dry fallen leaves, which are very inflammable. The fall fire season lasts until about December 15, when the winter rains set in. In the later winter months, the wood dry out and in February or March the spring season begins, and continues until the spring rains come or the trees and plants are too green to burn readily. A fire in the spring is much more disastrous than at any other time of the year, according to the foresters. The new shoots on the trees are very tender and easily injured, and if a fire occurs after the sap starts, it usually kills all the young trees and many of the older ones in the forest. While timber is always damaged by a fall fire, unless the fire is severe many trees will put out new growth in the following spring. In California snow has fallen in many localities and the forest rangers are taking up other duties and are enjoying the let up in the arduous work of fire fighting. The rangers in the Fast, on the other hand, are making their final plans for the coming season and are starting their patrol.

When the private SOME NATIONAL PROBLEMS When Congress meets on the 4th of December, one of its earliest tasks will be that of drafting and passing the appropriation bills for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918. Since this Congress will adjourn on March 3, the work must be attended to promptly, and not allowed to drag as was the case in the last session. That the appropriations will be large, is already certain, though possibly not quite so large as those made by the session that closed last September. In connection with this subject, there will be some discussion of the project of a budget, made up either by a joint committee of the two houses of Congress, or by the president and his advisors in the executive departments. Those who advocate a presidential budget do so upon the theory that the president and his cabinet will keep down the estimates for national expenditures. Experience with the last Congress shows, however, that economy is not likely to be reached in that way, for the estimates and demands of the members of the president's cabinet far exceeded the appropriations Congress actually made. A presidential budget under the control of the Wilson cabinet would have been an expensive luxury to the nation. PROFITABLE CROPS The lemon growers of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Miss Blvd., Los An OUR NEW NAVY "The nation's demand for more adequate defense is about to bear its first fruits" says the Conference Committee on National Preparedness, in a statement just issued. "The navy literally is agog, for much depends upon the results of this first bidding. If the great shipyards of the country display eager competition for the work the country may hope that the new ships will be delivered for manning in record time. Should there be, however, any diffidence in approaching the work, the new ships may not be in commission for many years." There is some possibility that the latter may prove to be the case. The yards of the shipbuilders are glutted with private work as they have not been in a generation, and work that is bringing huge prices. On the other hand, the government contracts, while large, are not of themselves particularly attractive, when compared with the lucrative demand for new merchant vessels. But the navy constructors anticipated this difficulty and persuaded Congress to offer a bonus to private yards for speedy work on the government ships. This bonus is very attractive, and it may induce the shipbuilders to take the navy construction at the sacrifice of private work which they might otherwise obtain. The navy appropriation bill authorized the immediate construction of four dreadnoughts, four battle cruisers, four scout cruisers, twenty destroyers, and thirty submarines. Last winter, anticipating the successful passage of the big navy bill, the department induced Congress to grant emergency funds to be used in the employment of naval architects, draughtsmen, and other technical experts by the Bureau of Construction. As a result, last January the department began working on the plans for the new ships, and in February the architectural forces were greatly increased.

MILITARY TRAINING Universal military training advocated by all army experts, continues to be one of the chief topics in army circles, where the hope is openly expressed that the house and senate military affairs committees will get together at the earliest possible moment and outline a constructive army program, the lack of which constitutes the real weakness of the United States at the present time, according to officers said to be in close touch with the war department. Strong support of the proposition of universal military service after the manner of the Swiss or the Australians will be given in the next congress in all probability. It looks now as if this issue of whether the country should have universal training will be the foremost military problem in congress, either until there is legislation for it or a definite refusal to enact such legislation. Senator Chamberlain of Oregon chairman of the senate military affairs committee has announced that he will bring the matter up in December. The chairman is strongly in favor of universal training. But it is understood that for lack of time it will be impossible to get the measure considered by both houses in the short December session and it is believed that the proposition will therefore go over to become one of the most important problems confronting the new congress next spring, the members of... and thirty submarines. Last winter, anticipating the successful passage of the big navy bill, the department induced Congress to grant emergency funds to be used in the employment of naval architects, draughtsmen, and other technical experts by the Bureau of Construction. As a result, last January the department began working on the plans for the new ships, and in February the architectural forces were greatly increased. On August 29, the day President Wilson signed the bill, the plans, it is said, were ready for all the ships except the battle cruisers, and the department was able to ask for bids on that day, the first time in our history that such expedition had been shown. Meanwhile, the more delicate job of drawing plans for the battle cruisers, a new type of ship for our navy—a type the power of which has never been approached by any ship built in America—continued. Within the past few days these plans were completed and bids solicited. On October 25 only the bids for the four battle ships and twenty destroyers were opened. On November 1 the department opened the bids for the four scout cruisers and the thirty submarines. The bids for the construction of the battle cruisers will not be opened until December 6. The shipbuilders are said to be dreading to undertake the construction of battle cruisers, and this fact may make the bidding for this work a disappointment to the friends of preparedness. Because of the bulk of these craft, and the great speed required of them, no builder seems to be eager for work. The ships when delivered must meet government specifications on their trial trips. If they fail to make good, the unfortunate shipbuilder stands to lose heavily. The thing that is likely to stimulate the shipbuilders is the bonus which the government pledges itself to pay for speedy delivery. In the past the average time for building a dreadnought from the day the contract is let until the ship is delivered to the government, has been thirty six months. The navy bill grants a bonus of 20 per cent of the construction price to the yards which will deliver the ships in twenty six months. In the cases of the dreadnoughts and battle cruisers, this bonus for each ship amounts to nearly two million dollars, a prize worth striving for.

One of the arguments that is being used for universal training is that the volunteer system has proved unsuccessful and a failure in that examinations of young men applying for enlistment either in the regulars or the guard disclose a surprising number of narrow flat chests It is being urged that for athletic reasons alone the boys and young men of the land ought to get back to the out of doors enough to build up their bodies Added to that,the enlistment service division declares that the big majority of applicants are almost entirely unfamiliar with firearms—even of smaller caliber,and it is pointed out in this connection that it takes Great Britain three months to train her raw recruits in the use of machine guns alone. EFFECT OF CONSERVATIVE REGULATION The California Railroad and Public Service commission has kept up a reputation for constructive and conservative policies. It seeks to protect public interests and at the same time make it possible for such corporations to make profits on investments. The report of this commission for the past year is interesting as showing how scientific and constructive regulation helps business. The California utilities show net operating revenues $2,\text{879},\text{708} greater than for \text{1913} and $5,\text{710},\text{327} greater than for \text{1914}. The commission claims that since its organization four years ago it has helped secure the investment of more than $200,\text{000},\text{000} in California. The Commission has authorized the issuance and sale of securities to the amount of $350,\text{114},\text{982} and many are sold to California people. The work of the California Railroad Commission is a fair illustration of the value of constructive regulation average time for building a dreadnought from the day the contract is let until the ship is delivered to the government, has been thirty six months. The navy bill grants a bonus of 20 per cent of the construction price to the yards which will deliver the ships in twenty six months. In the cases of the dreadnoughts and battle cruisers, this bonus for each ship amounts to nearly two million dollars, a prize worth striving for. When the private yards begin work on these new dreadnoughts and battle cruisers, Uncle Sam will have thirteen capital ships in process of construction. The new Arizona, just launched at the New York navy yard, will be followed on the ways by the Tennessee, authorized in 1915. The New York Shipbuilding company has the Idaho two thirds complete, while the Mississippi, in the Newport News Shipbuilding company's yards is a little more than half done. The New Mexico is nearly half completed at the New York navy yard. The keel of the California, authorized in 1915, has just been laid down at the Mare Island navy yard. These, added to the four newly authorized dreadnoughts and four battle cruisers, will make a total of thirteen ships of the first line under construction. Dr. M. M.

The clever monologue, "A Tender-foot in Politics" by Mrs. Johnson was delightfully refreshing. In it she relates some of the experiences (amusing and otherwise) that she passed through when a candidate for the board of education in Los Angeles. She has a keen sense of humor and kept her audience in rounds of laughter. Her talk on "Inadvisability of Speaking the Truth," was very good—the doctrine of kindness being the underlying thought.

At ElCajon, on the ranch of C. B. Purnall was shown small orchard trees such as peaches and almonds, which had been severely damaged by rabbits, in spite of the fact that a rabbit fence partially enclosed the small orchard. In many instances trees had been killed, and many other trees were forced to sprout out below the graft because rabbits had continually cut off the growing shoots and had barked the trees lower down. A small camphor tree which had been killed was taken as evidence. More small fig trees were only saved from damage by protecting them with tin cans. Tomatoes planted last year were entirely destroyed by rabbits; hubbard squashes met the same fate. Mr. Purnall reported that both cottontail and jackrabbits were responsible for the damage, but that cottontails were most numerous. Evidence in the form of tracks proved his contention to be correct.
