NATION'S WATER POWER The following letter has been received from Gifford Pinchot: Milford, Pa., January 21, 1918. Editor Gazette: The 12 year fight to keep the nation's water power from capture by the power monopolists is at last on the verge of being won. The administration water power bill, now before congress, opens the way to save for the people of the United States their most valuable natural asset. Some fifty million water horsepower is at stake. The bill in question was formulated under the direction of the secretary of agriculture, the secretary of war, and the secretary of the interior, was submitted to the president for his approval, and recently put forward as an administration measure. It deals with water power in national forests, public lands, Indian lands and navigable streams. A special committee of the house has been created to consider it. It is an admirable measure, drawn with thorough knowledge and unusual skill. The principles essential for the wise use and development of our public water powers in the public interest are all embodied in it. In my letter to you of November 16, 1917, I urged your support of the following seven definite principles in water power legislation: (1) The thing to do with water power is to develop it. Whatever retards or restricts the development of public water powers on terms fair to the public is against public policy and hostile to the general welfare. (2) Water power belongs to the people. The sites where it is produced should always be held in public lands, for only so can effective control in the general interest be secured. (3) Where public development is food materials. Stock growing is followed to some extent, but improved stock is needed, better forage plants should be introduced, and more attention is needed to the proper handling of stock. Dairying and other farm enterprises. HELP FIGHT THE WAR WITH RICE Eat more rice and less wheat is the appeal issued by the United States food administration for California, together with a list of recipes in which rice appears as the gase. Wheat flour and wheat products, now being conserved in practically every kitchen in America, is vitally needed by the Allied nations which are looking to this country for food, particularly wheat. The only wheat available for exportation until the next crop is that saved in the individual homes, the food administration announced. Meanwhile England, France and Italy must be furnished at least 90,000,000 bushels to feed their people engaged in war work and their soldiers on the battle fronts. Hence American patriots must use substitutes for wheat in a larger measure than heretofore. Although rice has remarkable food value, it has little individual flavor and so takes on the flavor of the dish with which it is combined. This quality makes rice an excellent foundation for milk and cheeses, or combination with meat, chicken and fish in stews. Rice can be combined with any vegetable, made into a variety of desserts, used to thicken soups or mixed with wheat flour or cormeal in bread making. Even a spoonful left over can be stirred into bread, mixed in chicken stuffing or dropped in the soup pot. Left over rice may be browned in fat for breakfast or made into cakes by adding an egg, a little milk, flour to thicken and a teaspoon of baking powder. These rice cakes be had, then the pans are unwarranted, and institution is wrong ple of the United States meat, that more money. A writer in the declares that with cents a pound in cattle are dying by the ranges, and attention for the parade the reasons assign which prevents fat ket, the lack of calorie cattle—there this class by the reduced consumption lack of transportation the East and abroad. One practical fact there is no market coast for fat cattle and of fat cattle at the corrals, where forage. Others decision has fallen off result of the food ures, and that this they cannot sell tha Meantime a corn appointed to make This commission ovey of the whole 2000 fat cattle that market. Packers chers are being no ports come in, who had. A survey is packing plants ancillies, as well as and measures take packers and butchers on government me. There are evidence the meat question, the food administ devoting its energy are so abnormally tion is restricted joined "meatless." (1) The thing to do with water power is to develop it. Whatever retards or restricts the development of public water powers on terms fair to the public is against public policy and hostile to the general welfare. (2) Water power belongs to the people. The sites where it is produced should always be held in public lands, for only so can effective control in the general interest be secured. (3) Where public development is not desired, the right to use water power sites should be leased for periods long enough to permit sound, attractive, and profitable investment, but never longer than fifty years. At the end of each lease all rights should return to the people who gave them. (4) In order to protect the consumer against extortion, rates and service should be regulated by Federal authority when state or local authorities fail to do so. (5) Reasonably prompt and complete development and continuous operation, subject to market conditions, should be required. Already millions of water horsepower are held out of use to further monopoly by private corporations. (6) Corporations or individuals who make money out of rights granted by the people should share their profits with the people. (7) The public has a right to complete information about every business based on the uses of public property. It is a real pleasure to tell you that every one of these principles is fully safeguarded in the administration's water power bill. What remains, therefore, is for congress to put this measure through without delay. The administration water power bill will first come before the house of representatives, where an effort will certainly be made to amend it in the interests of the power interests. If that fails, the water power lobbyists will endeavor to have the indefensible provisions of the Shields bill substituted in the senate for the administration bill. Beaten in that, they will fall back upon the formula of obstruction and delay they have used so successfully for the last ten years. This measure is practical, fair, and wise. The friends of conservation should insist that their friends in Congress shall give their prompt and full support to the administration water power bill, and shall see to it that it is passed without emasculation, substitution, or postponement.

This measure is practical, fair, and wise. The friends of conservation should insist that their friends in congress shall give their prompt and full support to the administration water power bill, and shall see to it that it is passed without emasculation, substitution, or postponement. It is of vital interest to our country while the war is on, and will be equally important after the war is over. The passage of this law will secure to the American people forever vast resources whose use for the good of all will make this land a safer and better place to live in.

Sincerely yours, GIFFORD PINCHOT, MORE FOOD FROM NEW ISLANDS Our new possessions in the Atlantic—the Virgin Islands—will become more nearly self-supporting if the aim of the United States Department of Agriculture is realized. A representative of the federal department investigated the agricultural situation in these islands last season and made suggestions intended to help the people there to produce more food. The only crops the investigator found under extensive cultivation were sugar cane and sea island cotton, the yields of which are low compared with other West Indian islands. The representative found that there was an almost complete absence of vegetables and fruit on the markets, indicating very limited supplies of locally grown One pint of codfish, two pints of potatoes, one cup of boiled rice, one tablespoon of fat, two beaten eggs, three teaspoons of milk. Mix together and make into balls and fry in deep fat. Serve hot. Rice Stew Boil together one can of English peas, one-half cup of rice, one teaspoon of salt, pepper to taste, one tablespoon of fat, and one cup of sweet milk. Thicken with flour. Serve very hot in a hot dish. Cover the top with grated cheese before sending to the table. MANY SIDES TO THE MEAT QUESTION With prices for all meats skyrocketing, it is somewhat disconcerting to learn that Pacific coast cattlemen object to the importation of Chinese beef on government transports for use of United States forces, says the San Francisco Star. Since the embargo was placed on shipments of beef from Australia by the British government, the United States has turned to China for her supplies for the army in the Philippines, and recently a cargo was forwarded direct to this city. The beef is said to be equal to the American product, and is inspected by United States officials before slaughter. Its excellence therefore is undeniable. But the patriotic American cattlemen, who have set themselves up in opp sition to the food administration in the matter of meatless days, which interfere with their opportunity for excessive profits, now protest against the importation of beef which will release American supplies for the use of our army abroad and of our allies. If, as the cattlemen and packers assert, there is an abundance of beef to months, the imp made goods into our favorable b $260,866,122, an 000,000 a month, 43 per centum, conclusively that would have dessert system; and Whereas the from all the nati ing the fiscal $850,000,000 great year before the European war, 1917 was $92,000, conclusively pre- rate of about 8 prevails, the low the country, utter protect either American labor.

An would provide e or button for e ANAHEIM GAZETTE be had, then the present high prices are unwarranted, and the food administration is wrong in begging the people of the United States to eat less meat, that more may be sent abroad. A writer in the San Francisco Call declares that with steak selling at 30 cents a pound in the local market, cattle are dying by the thousands on the ranges, and attempts to find a solution for the paradox. Chief among the reasons assigned are the drought, which prevents fattening for the market, the lack of canning facilities for lean cattle—there is no demand for this class by the butchers—and the reduced consumption, added to the lack of transportation for shipment to the East and abroad. One practical farmer declared that there is no market on the Pacific coast for fat cattle, and that thousands of fat cattle are growing thin in the corrals, where they are being fed forage. Others declare that consumption has fallen off 40 per cent as the result of the food administration measures, and that this is the main reason they cannot sell their cattle. Meantime a commission has been appointed to make an investigation. This commission declares that a survey of the whole state reveals but 2000 fat cattle that have not found a market. Packers and wholesale butchers are being notified as fast as reports come in, where cattle are to be had. A survey is being made of the packing plants and refrigerating facilities, as well as the killing plants, and measures taken to give the coast packers and butchers a chance to bid on government meat contracts. There are evidently many sides to the meat question, and to its solution the food administration is earnestly devoting its energies. Meantime prices are so abnormally high that consumption is restricted much below the enforced "meatless Tuesday," while, ac GOVERNMENT OPERATION OF THE RAILROADS In assuming the direction of all railroads and their subsidiary water lines, under authority of the power delegated to him by congress, the president has inaugurated a policy that makes government ownership inevitable at an early date. The general recognition of this fact, and the satisfaction expressed by all classes of people, prove that the effort to educate the public to the advantages of national ownership of natural monopolies has been more fruitful than many, like ourselves, who have perseveringly preached this doctrine, despite the discouragement of powerful opposition, had imagined. The complete breakdown of private operation of the railroads under the unusual strain due to war conditions and extraordinary requirements, prepared the way for the immediate consolidation of all transportation lines under one management. This was attempted by a committee of railroad managers, but proved too great a task, even though the direction of affairs was entrusted to the leading minds of the railroad world. Their failure cleared the way for the president's assumption of entire and unrestricted control—and ultimate government ownership. A surprising feature of the taking over of the railroads has been the ready acquiescence of the business and financial world. With scarcely an exception, the railroad managers and high financiers have voiced their approval and declared themselves ready to cooperate to the full measure of their respective opportunities. Not only this, but the confidence of the investing public was instantly reflected in Wall street by an almost phenomenal upward bound in both railroad and industrial stocks and illuminated where the service was duplicated by rival systems. A heavy increase in demurrage charges, to encourage prompt unloading and release of freight cars has been announced. This will certainly cure the evil of holding cars for storage purposes. The matter of wages and salaries is yet to be settled. The traunmen had demanded of the private owners more money, to meet the constant increase in living expenses, and it is certain they will be given equitable treatment. Altogether, government operation has begun most auspiciously, and with a record of business administration such as is to be looked for under that wizard, Wm. G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury and director general of the railroad system of the United States, congress will hardly dare to suggest a return private ownership after the war. In the words of a far seeing raffroad executive, the eggs will never be "unscrambled."—San Francisco Star. COAL MINES NEXT Government operation of the railroads has immediately alleviated the shortage of coal in the centers of population. With full power to route the products of the mines as best suited convenience and to direct the coaling of vessels, a prompt improvement took place, and at this writing both the shortage of coal and the general congestion have been relieved in great measure, despite the unusually heavy snowfall. But it still looks as if the only permanent solution of the coal difficulties lies in Government operation of the mines. What are known as the "coal roads" are so connected by ownership and working agreements with the mines as to be to all intent and A survey is being made of the packing plants and refrigerating facilities, as well as the killing plants, and measures taken to give the coast packers and butchers a chance to bid on government meat contracts. There are evidently many sides to the meat question, and to its solution the food administration is earnest devoting its energies. Meantime prices are so abnormally high that consumption is restricted much below the enjoined "meatless Tuesday," while, according to the cattlement, the market is glutted with fat beeves. Recognizing the difficulty of transporting beef under existing conditions, the ban against meat on Tuesdays has been lifted as applied to Pacific coast states, but porkless Saturday will be more rigorously enforced than ever, as hogs are more satisfactorily transported. Since then, there is for the time being an abundance of red meats, let us fill our stomachs with juicy steaks and luscious roasts—so far as we can afford to pay the price. But, in the interests of the consumer, let us by all means encourage the importation of Chinese or any other wholesome beef, not only for army use but for the relief of our own over burdened people. RESOLUTION Senator GalMiner introduced the following resolution in the senate, which was ordered laid on the table: Whereas the American Federation of Labor, at is recent convention in Buffalo, without a dissenting voice, went on record as favoring a policy of industrial preparedness and the enactment of laws by congress that will adequately protect all wage earners of our country against loss of employment through an invasion of our markets by the products of other nations; and Whereas from the enactment of Underwood Simmons tariff law until the commencement of the European war, covering a period of about ten months, the importations of foreign made goods into our country reduced our favorable balance of trade by $260,866,122, an average of over $260,000,000 a month, being a reduction of 43 per centum, thus demonstrating conclusively that, if continued, it would have destroyed our industrial system; and Whereas the total of our imports from all the nations of the world during the fiscal year 1917 was over $850,000,000 greater than for 1913, the over of the railroads has been the ready acquiescence of the business and financial world. With scarcely an exception, the railroad managers and high financier have voiced their approval and declared themselves ready to cooperate to the full measure of their respective opportunities. Not only this, but the confidence of the investing public was instantly reflected in Wall street by an almost phenomenal upward bound in both railroad and industrial stocks and bonds. This was due, of course to the President's assurance that the roads shall receive a net operating income equal in each case to the average net income of the three years preceding June 30, 1917—two of which were years of unusually large net earnings. In a statement explaining this action, President Wilson asserted the necessity for operating the railroads "under a single authority and a simplified method of cooperation which have not proved possible under private management and control." At the same time he acknowledged that the committee of railroad executives had done "the utmost that it was possible for them to do; have done it with patriotic zeal and with great ability; but there were difficulties that they could neither escape nor neutralize." The naming of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo as head of the government railway system will commend itself to all who are familiar with the rare executive ability displayed by Mr. McAdoo in private life as well as in his present high position, which he will retain. The president, in stating his reasons for this action, said: "The government of United States is the only great government now engaged in the war which has not already assumed control of this sort. It was thought to be in the spirit of American institutions to attempt to do everything that was necessary through private management, and if zeal and ability an dpatriotic motive could have accomplished the necessary unification of administration, it would certainly have been accomplished; but no zeal or ability could overcome insuperable obstacles, and I have deemed it my duty to recognize that fact in all candor now that it is demonstrated, and to use without reserve the great authority reposed in me. A great national necessity dictated the action, and I was therefore not at liberty to abstain from it. Government officials estimate that by unified operation, with the cutting off of expenses due to competition—of vessels, a prompt improvement took place, and at this writing both the shortage of coal and the general congestion have been relieved in great measure, despite the unusually heavy snowfall. But it still looks as if the only permanent solution of the coal difficulties lies in Government operation of the mines. What are known as the "coal roads" are so connected by ownership and working agreements with the mines as to be to all intent and purpose dual corporations. The railroads depend upon the mines for their earnings, and the mines base their prices on the rail charges for transportation. Together the railroads and mines constitute a monopoly of huge dimensions, says the San Francisco Star. Clifford Thorne, rate expert, testifying before the senate coal investigators recently, declared that purchase or control of the pooled mines, production and equipment must come, to offset the evils resulting from six months of attempted regulation of privately operated coal fields. Thorne said this regulation has actually increased prices, in some cases, as much as 100 per cent above voluntary prices of 1916. Operators, he continued, are refusing to make contracts for coal because, under the fuel regulations, they can get more for "free" coal. Thorne asserted that if the present profit of Missouri operators was typical of the entire country, it would represent a profit of $360,000,000—$1,000,000 a day—on the coal products this year. In October, he said, an increase of 45 cents a ton had been allowed Missouri operators. Of the three methods of handling the situation suggested by Thorne—government purchase of all coal at the mines, government purchase outright of weaker mines and commandeering of all mines—Thorne said he considered the first probably best. Justice to the small mine owners, as well as the securing of a maximum output of coal, which is an absolute necessity for the carrying out of the government's war plans, seems to make government operation of the coal fields as necessary as government operation of the railroads.

BOYS TO BE DRAFTED AT 21 An administration bill is now before congress and will undoubtedly be passed, providing for the drafting of all young men as they reach the age of 21. This is considered preferable to extending the age beyond the age of 31. It is estimated that this new provision will add 700,000 men to the army each year. Another bill introduced would provide for a distinctive badge or button for exempted men. Government officials estimate that by unified operation, with the cutting off of expenses due to competition—by using only the most direct routes, and a thousand and one economies that will be possible—the saving will mount into the hundreds of millions of dollars. Such a showing, combined with increased efficiency, would be convincing evidence of the value to the nation of government ownership, and would make a return to old conditions practically impossible. Immediately upon the reassembling of the congress after the holiday recess, the president presented a statement of his action and suggested needed legislation to carry out his plans. Bills were at once introduced in both houses, and are under consideration as we write. Meantime orders have been given to route freight shipments with a view only to "speeding up," the relief of congestion, and getting the best possible results from a unified system. Within a week more than 400 passenger trains had been taken out of service in the northeastern section of the country. One system, the great Pennsylvania, dropped 125 trains, the New Haven 85, the Baltimore and Ohio and the New York Central 60 each. Luxurious travel is to be curtailed, "special fare" trains being discontinued and the number of chair cars reduced to a minimum. On the Coast a number of fast trains have been CLAIMS KEYES INSANE; ASKS APPOINTMENT OF LUNACY BOARD Attorney Ingle Carpenter, Los Angeles, representing Edward Keyes, alleged murderer of Leonard Leroy Herwick, filed a petition for the appointment of a lunacy commission to examine into Keyes' sanity. In the petition, Attofney Carpenter contends that Keyes is now an insane person the insanity decree entered against the prisoner on Aug. 10, 1916, by Superior Judge W. H. Dehy, Los Angeles, never having been revoked. After being found insane in 1916 Keyes was sent to the Southern California state hospital at Patton, but was released on July 30, 1917, upon a letter from Dr. John A. Riley, medical superintendent of the Patton hospital. Carpenter contends that Keyes was insane at the time of the murder of Herwick boy on Dec. 8, 1917, Keyes' trial is set for February 4. He is now held in the county jail awaiting trial. The petition states that upon being released from Patton, Keyes was turned over to the custody of his mother, Martha H. De Turk, at Newport Beach. Attorney Carpenter is a resident of Orange county part of the time, having a summer home at Balboa. Under the new food regulations Swiss people are allowed only one-fifth of a pound of butter per person per month.
