COPPER PRODUCT FOR THE PAST YEAR VALUE REACHED MORE THAN HALF BILLION DOLLARS, HIGHEST EVER KNOWN AVERAGE PRICE WAS 27 CENTS PER POUND—INCREASE OF TEN CENTS The production of copper in the United States in 1916 surpassed all previous records, according to the U.S. geological survey. Preliminary figures and estimates have been collected by the survey, which has received reports from all plants known to produce blister copper from domestic ores and refined copper. At an average price of about 27 cents a pound the output for 1916 has a value of $520,000,000, compared with $242,900,000 for the output of 1916 and with $189,790,000 in 1913. The figures showing smelter production from domestic ores represent the actual production of most of the companies for 11 months and an estimate of the output for December. The figures of a few companies for November were not available, and these companies furnished estimates for the last two months of the year. According to the statistics and estimates received, the output of bilster and Lake copper from domestic ores was 1,928,000,000 pounds in 1916, against 1,388,000,000 pounds in 1915, cas with careless driving. Lucas' address was not secured by the complainant, and the warrant could not be served. A few days ago a list of transfers made in the Los Angeles police department contained the name of R. Lucas, a policeman. The warrant was served and Lucas was brought before Justice Cox at Santa Ana. He pleaded not guilty and his trial was set for January 17. OFFICIAL INDISCRETIONS Commenting upon Secretary Lansing's recent indiscretion in making public alarmist statements in reference to President Wilson's recent note to the belligerent powers, former Senator Jonathan Bourne points out that like blunders have been common during the present administration. "Unfortunately for the dignity of American government," he says, "this latest flasco does not stand alone. Looseness in the use of language of serious import has been too frequent in the last four years. Statements that require explanations or retractions with 24 hours cannot inspire confidence at home or respect abroad. Disregarding the convicting statments that have been made upon matters of national policy by the president himself, we may find ample illustration in the statement some time ago by Secretary of War Baker regarding an alleged discovery of a conspiracy on the Mexican border created for the purpose of embarrassing the administration, which was explained away on the same day, and the recent statement of the federal service board regarding the purchase of certain foreign treasury bills, which the board found necessary to explain immediately. The penchant for talking first and thinking afterward serves to emphasize the desirability of more government by law provides that close to the road every day.

The figures of a few companies for November were not available, and these companies furnished estimates for the last two months of the year. According to the statistics and estimates received, the output of bilster and Lake copper from domestic ores was 1,928,000,000 pounds in 1916, against 1,388,000,000 pounds in 1915, and 1,224,000 pounds in 1913. The output of refined copper (electrolytic, Lake, casting and pig) from primary sources, domestic and foreign, for 1916 is estimated at 2,311,000,000 pounds, compared with 1,634,000,000 pounds in 1915 and with 1,615,000,000 pounds in 1913. The production of copper from the mines of the United States for 1916 was more than double that of 10 years ago and more than four times that of 20 years ago. The profit resulting from the domestic production was far greater in 1916 than in any previous year. It is probably safe to say that it exceeded $300,000,000. At the beginning of 1916 there was about 82,400,000 pounds of refined copper in stock in the United States. This quantity added to the refinery production gives a total available supply of about 2,393,000,000 pounds of refined copper. On subtracting from this amount the exports for the first 10 months and the estimated export for the first ten months and the estimated export for the last 2 months, it is apparent that the supply available for domestic consumption is materially greater than the 1,043,000,000 pounds of 1915, no account being taken of stocks held at the close of the year. The average price of copper for 1916 showed a marked increase over that of the preceding year, being slightly above 27 cents a pound, compared with 17.4 cents in 1915. Arizona made a record production. The total may reach 675,000,000 pounds as compared with 432,000,000 pounds in 1915. This exceeds the total output of the United States as late as 1902. Montana, with more than 350,000,000 pounds exceeded its previous record production of 314,000,000 in 1912. This compares with about 268,000,000 produced in 1915. Michigan, in common with other important copper producing states, made a record production. The output for 1916 was about 269,000,000 pounds, relegated discovery of a conspiracy on the Mexican border created for the purpose of embarrassing the administration, which was explained away on the same day, and the recent statement of the federal service board regarding the purchase of certain foreign treasury bills, which the board found necessary to explain immediately. The penchant for talking first and thinking afterward serves to emphasize the desirability of more government by law and less by men. Discretion is a rare gift and not many men possess it. Yet congress is constantly proceeding upon the theory that any man who holds a presidential commission is a man of discretion. In fact, most presidential commissions state that the appointing power reposes faith in the discretion of the appointee. How often that faith is rudely shaken! Thus, we find laws constantly enacted which set up broad generalities of administration and which then submit the execution of those general principles to the discretion of a ministerial officer. If a secretary of state is found, as Mr. Lansing has been, to be deficient in discretion, how can one expect to find it in officials of far less degree? The truth is that our lawmakers have gone too far in trusting to individual discretion in the interpretation and administration of the statutes. It is a short cut to legislation, but it is most unwise. Laws should be specific. If they need interpretation, we have the courts. But to submit so many important enactments as we do to the whims of men who may come down to digestable luncheon and who then proceed to let the ills of their liver affect their lives and property of others, is, as Artemus Ward said, "Tew mutch'!" P. E. ASKS FULLERTON FOR A FRANCHISE Has Filed Seven Condemnation Suits For Right of Way Confirming persistent rumors and following closely the filing of seven condemnation suits for rights of way, The Pacific Electric Railway company has asked the Fullerton board of trustees for a franchise. The ordinance was presented by George E. Pillsbury, chief engineer of the Pacific Electric. The Council allowed the ordinance granting the franchise to pass first reading.

This compares with about 268,000,000 produced in 1915. Michigan, in common with other important copper producing states, made a record production. The output for 1916 was about 263,000,000 pounds, as compared with about 238,900,000 in 1915, the previous record production. Utah may show an increase of 60,000,000 pounds over the previous record production of 170,000,000 in 1915. The output from Alaska estimated at over 120,000,000 pounds compares with 70,600,000 pounds in 1915. The production from Nevada will reach nearly 100,000,000 pounds, which compares with the previous largest production of 85,200,000 in 1913 and with 67,700,000 pounds in 1915. The production of New Mexico will probably reach 90,000,000 pounds as compared with 62,800,000 for 1915. California with a production that may exceed 60,000,000 pounds showed a large increase over the previous record production of over 53,000,000 pounds in 1909. In 1915 the production was 37,600,000. Tennessee alone among the important copper producing states failed to show a record output. The production was probably slightly below 15,000,000 pounds, as compared with over 18,000,000 pounds for 1915. By the mere chance of seeing a name in a Los Angeles paper was R.

The ordinance was presented by George E. Pillsbury, chief engineer of the Pacific Electric. The Council allowed the ordinance granting the franchise to pass first reading. The franchise, however, is amenable to council action, and whatever changes they deem necessary can be made before it comes up for final reading, provided the electric company desires it to pass under these terms. The Pacific Electric made no offer to the city and the width of the right of way sought is not mentioned. The route outlined in the franchise is as follows: Beginning on North Spadra avenue, at a point 610 feet north of Union avenue, the line goes south ten feet and then swings east almost at right angles, continuing to Harvard avenue. From Harvard avenue the line runs southeast to East Chapman avenue, to a point just east of North Lawrence avenue; then south across East Chapman to East Wilshire avenue. The line crosses East Wilshire 120 feet east of North Lawrence avenue, and continues southerly to East Amerige avenue. The line crosses Amerige avenue, and continuing the southerly course, crosses Commonwealth and then strikes south and west to the intersection of South Lawrence and Santa Fe avenues. From that point the road goes west along the center line of East Santa Fe avenue to a point west of South Pomona. At that point the line curves northwesterly, cutting through the east end of block 28. Block 28 lies between Spadra and Pomona and Santa Fe and Commonwealth avenues. The line ends in that block. The franchise is for fifty years and Anaheim Gazette provides that cars shall be run over the road every day. At the crossing of North Spadra the electric line will be constructed overhead, the franchise sets forth. Before the franchise is granted the council will go into every phase of it minutely. Copies of franchises granted in late years to the Pacific Electric by Southern California towns will be secured and compared with the franchise the Electric line is seeking from Fullerton.

These make it practically impossible to earn the money required to pay for a farm out of the soil in the time usually given. Many complain, moreover, that opportunities have been so exaggerated and the expenses of developing a farm so minimized as to induce settlers to undertake what on trial has proved to be impossible. "It is to the interest to the whole state that its fertile lands should be cultivated and that active colonization should be promoted. The state buys a large part of its meat and many other farm products abroad. Increased production would lessen the cost of living and keep at home maney now sent to other sections to pay for food products. Moreover, great properties, owned by non-residents, are being cultivated by tenants or by nomadic and unsatisfactory hired labor. These great properties ought to be subdivided and cultivated by residents. From statistics furnished by L. C. Seavey, tax commissioner, it appears that 310 landed proprietors own over four million acres of land suited to itensive cultivation and capable of supporting a dense population. This would make 100,000 forty acre farms. One firm owns nearly one million acres; one railroad owns 500,000 acres. In Kern county four companies own over 1,000,000 acres, or more than half the land in private ownership.

He became janitor twenty-three years ago when the county offices were located on East Fourth street. J. F. Kinley has been his assistant for sixteen years. OUR LAND BARONS The commission of Land Colonization in California has issued a report which makes plain some of the conditions operating against the agricultural development of the state. Emphasis is placed on the damage that great land holdings are doing in resisting development, retarding production, and generally contributing to keeping up the cost of living. The report is introduced as follows: The state has an immense area of fertile and unpeopled land. Only eleven million acres out of the twenty-eight million acres of farm land are being cultivated. However, comparatively few settlers are coming here, and many who came in recent years have left. Costly advertising and still more costly personal solicitations have not served to attract colonists. The result is that progress in the country is not keeping pace with progress in the city. During the five years, from 1910 to 1915, the gain in the population of California cities and towns was three times the gain of the country. The principal causes for this arrested development seems to be high prices of land, high interest rates, LIMITED COMPULSORY MILITARY SERVICE Have we a form of modified compulsory military service in this country? This question is prompted by the recent action of the president, in his capacity as commander-in-chief, in approving a sentence of court martial passed upon Lewis O. Gardner of the New Mexico National Guard. Gardner was an enrolled member of the guard in his state at the time of the mobilization ordered last June and he was one of a large number who resisted being mustered into the service of the United States. His comrades who joined in this refusal at the outset, weakened when threatened with court martial and took the oath. Gardner remained obdurate, stood trial and was sentenced to dishonorable discharge and to a year's imprisonment at hard labor. This sentence has just received the presidential approval. Army officers regard the case as an important one and look upon it as applying in its essence to the ten thousand and so of other guardsmen through-out the country who refused to enter the federal service last summer. If this view is correct, it means that every member of the national guard may be held for duty with the federal colors upon the president's call and to that extent provides for compulsory military service. It may also have a bearing upon the situation of those guardsmen who have returned from the border and who have declined to continue their service in the ranks under state authority. It was generally understood that every guardsman who went to Texas last summer was obligated to six years' duty in some form. The exact nature of that duty has never yet been formulated.
