HIGHWAY BONDS AND HIGHWAY REPORT ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS ISSUE OF $19,544,000 FOR BONDS Twenty Million Dollars Needed to Complete Original System. All Sections of State to be Favored with New Roads. In the Assembly Chamber at Sacramento, on Thursday evening, March 13th, an executive committee representing the communities and interests which have united in furtherance of a project to expand the State highway program and issue additional bonds, submitted its report and recommendations to the legislature. The meeting was largely attended by delegations from practically all parts of the State, and considerable enthusiasm was manifested. The committee explained that the projects included within its recommendations provided highways in which practically all sections of California were specially interested. A roll-call of counties, responded to by their respective representatives at the meeting, indicated general approval. The total expenditure recommended by the committee aggregates $39,544,500, an itemized list accompanying the recommendation. Twenty millions of this is for completion of the original highway system. Two or three projects not included statement of the text relates to June 30 or December 31; but if the text is meant to concur with the period of the data, the statement that "but little more than $2,000,000 remains for new work" would appear subject to amendment by the addition of the $2,461,-597.57 of bond money unerpended on June 30, unless the latter item was covered by obligations incurred. Mention is made of unaccepted contracts for some 350 miles of road, but the relationship of these contracts to the standing of the fund is not clearly indicated. The report explains that the war had the effect of slowing down the work and increasing its difficulties and costs. A table entitled "Portions of original system upon which no work has been done" shows a total of $299.8. It is indicated, however, that 104.5 miles have been provided for since June 30. This would leave 725.3 miles of the original system, contemplated in the Act of 1909, still unprovided for on January 1, 1919. The Commission observes: "It is obvious that the gaps in the State highway system, exclusive of the special laterals, cannot be constructed with what remains of the bond issue money and have the results satisfactory to anybody." It is predicted, however, that "the main trunk lines will be left in good condition, with few, if any, important links missing." The Commission asserts that the figures and estimates upon which the second bond issue was based "were made up in the fall of the year 1914 and early spring of 1915. The money became available in August 1917," and adds: "It is doubtful if any contract has been let since the beginning of the year 1917 which has not cost at least 50 per cent more than was estimated in 1914-15 to be required for the work." It will be remembered that when Sacramento meeting led by little if any. The committee applauded each of 27 members to be included in gave the character formed on a portion estimated the cost at half years would structure work course. It was explained that had been taken to of the State, and port" of every part "assured" by enthuse.

A roll-call of counties, responded to by their respective representatives at the meeting, indicated general approval. The total expenditure recommended by the committee aggregates $39,544,500, an itemized list accompanying the recommendation. Twenty millions of this is for completion of the original highway system. Two or three projects not included in the list were mentioned at the meeting and will probably be included in the recommendations as finally urged before the legislature, making the total amount of the proposed bond issue approximately $40,000,000. In view of this proposal it is perhaps well to review, from the report of the Highway Commission, just issued, some of the facts relative to the previous financing of highways, and the work heretofore accomplished. The report is dated December 31, 1918. The first highway bond issue, for 18,000,000, was voted in 1910, the purpose being to construct a system of trunk roads, one through the great valleys and the other following the coast, reaching from the northern to the southern parts of the State, with laterals to connect the county seats. The system was to be constructed by the State Department of Engineering, which, as then constituted, consisted of an advisory board with the Governor, State Engineer, Superintendent of Hospitals and the Chairman of the State Board of Harbor Commissioners as members. In 1911 the Chandler Act was passed, providing for the appointment by the Governor of three additional members of the department; and to the three members so appointed was entrusted the actual management of the highways to be constructed and acquired under the bond issue. These three became known as the Highway Commission. Actual road-building operations were commenced in the summer of 1912. The original $18,000,000 fund was ex hausted by January, 1917. In 1916, however, the people voted another $15,000,000, and the first block of $5,000,000 was sold in August, 1917. Between January and August, such work as was done was paid for out of moey borrowed from the Motor Vehicle Fund. Of the first bond issue, $4,280,000 went at public sale. The balance of the issue was sold to the counties. Three bonds here 4 per cent interest. It will be remembered that when the second bond issue campaign was made in 1916 a map was prepared by the Highway Commission, indicating in black those portions of the original highway system which, up to that time, had been completed. The claim was widely made that, out of the $15,000,000 asked for, the sum of $12,000,000 would "make the map all black," while the remaining $3,000,000 would cover the State's share of the cost of constructing, in co-operation with counties, eight specified lateral projects. These latter projects became known as the "$3,000,000 laterals." The 'lateral' money has not been spent; but that the $12,000,000 has not sufficed for the completion of he system as shown on the 1916 campaign map is apparent by the report of the Commission. The estimate in 1916 was that $12,000,000 would make the original system "black"—in other words, complete it. The Commission has not completed the system, but points to cost-increases of 50 per cent "more than was estimated in 1914-15 to be required for the work." The meeting at Sacramento, however, approved (apparently) the voting of $12,000,000 additional bonds for the completion of the original system. At a 50 per cent increase over 1914-1915 estimates, $6,000,000 would seem to be sufficient. *Reference to the recommendations of the Sacramento meeting will show approval of $20,000,000 to complete "the original highway system" and to build in their entirety the eight laterals specified in the 1915 act, thus relieving the counties in the matter of the laterals. It was stated that it would cost the State $11,000,000 to build the eight laterals. It has $3,000,000 on hand for the purpose and would take $8,000,000 out of the proposed $20,000,000, leaving $12,000,000 for "the original system." As before stated, there are eight projects embraced within the $3,000,- Times is in this section of the "League tion is correct; they should be instantl But history and exp fact that no "Leag ded on mere morale or even reach th e peace.

The Times ass The original $18,000,000 fund was exhausted by January, 1917. In 1916, however, the people voted another $15,000,000, and the first block of $5,000,000 was sold in August, 1917. Between January and August, such work as was done was paid for out of moey borrowed from the Motor Vehicle Fund. Of the first bond issue, $4,280,000 went at public sale. The balance of the issue was sold to the counties. These bonds bore 4 per cent interest. The second issue of bonds bore 4½ per cent interest, and the Commission reports that there was a ready market "except when the Federal Capital Issues Committee was in operation." To November 30th last, sales had been made amounting to $7,116,000, leaving $7,884,000 to be sold. Appendix C of the report, as of June 30, 1918, shows that the expenditures from receipts of the first bond issue were $18,002,129, and that expenditures from the second issue, to that time, were $4,654,402.43. This would leave unexpended, from bond sales, $2,461,597.57 on June 30th last. The amount of work and expenditures since that time does not appear; but the text of the report says: "Of the total (second) issue of $15,000,000, but $7,844,000 remains to be sold. Of this amount $3,000,000 must be reserved for work to be done under the provisions of the law relating to the '$3,000,000 Lateral roads' and it is probable that obligations already incurred will require at least $2,750,000 for their fulfillment, so that but little more than $2,000,000 remains for new work." In view of the statement of conditions being dated June 31, and the text December 31, it is not clear whether the "the original highway system" and to build in their entirety the eight laterals specified in the 1915 act, thus relieving the counties in the matter of the laterals. It was stated that it would cost the State $11,000,000 to build the eight laterals. It has $3,000,000 on hand for the purpose and would take $8,000,000 out of the proposed $20,000,000, leaving $12,000,000 for "the original system." As before stated, there are eight projects embraced within the $3,000,-ooo lateral provision. The bond act of 1915, voted in 1916, loosely provides for a division of the cost between the State and the counties concerned, leaving the extent and character of such division to the Department of Engineering. The Commission's report says: "These several extensions (laterals) were included in the second State highways act during the last stages of its passage by the legislature and without knowledge of the probable cost entailed, there being neither surveys, maps nor estimates available upon which accurate judgment could be based. Not even the lengths of the several roads included were known, even approximately." After considerable work the Commission succeeded in getting some engineering data and cost estimates, and it appeared that the project called for about $9,000,000. It also appeared that the counties could not bear two-thirds of the cost. As a result the roads have not been built. It is now proposed to have the State bear the entire cost, as previously explained, out of the new bond issue. It is a point well worth noting that the report of the committee, at the and hysteria, falls still more false than cast aside.

The committee approximated the mileage of each of 27 additional projects to be included in the new bond act, gave the character of work to be performed on a portion of them, and estimated the cost at $19,544,500. It was figured that from two to two and a half years would elapse before construction work could be commenced. It was explained that scrupulous care had been taken to "satisfy" every part of the State, and in return the "support" of every part of the State was "assured" by enthusiastic gentlemen. "BREASTING THE CURRENT" The New York Times, Sunday, March 2, said: "It seems to us that Senators of the United States who oppose our entry into the League of Nations without suggesting some substitute for the League, some other plan by which the purposes of the League may be accomplished, are breasting the current of an irresistible public opinion which will sweep them away." The fundamental error in the position of the average defenders of Mr. Wilson's "Covenant of League of Nations" is that they assume this program will bring about a "peace of righteousness" and give permanent peace to the world. The New York Times is in this category of supporters of the "League." If this assumption is correct, the proposed "League" should be instantly indorsed by all. But history and experience point to the fact that no "League of Nations" founded on mere moral force, can succeed or even reach the fringe of universal peace. Senators who oppose Mr. Wilson's "League fo Nations" are in somewhat the same position many Senators were when Mr. Bryan forced "Free Silver who today run counter to what appears to be "the current of an irresistible public opinion" will be held up as the saviors of the Union, the defenders of the Republic. Public opinion is a very strange and often a dangerous commodity. It is as often wrong as it is right. It is often born of temporary frenzy, not infrequently produced by frenzied leadership and unwholesome demagogy. In "democracies" rather than republics, strong and magnetic leaders frequently exercise an hypnotic influence over people, and "public opinion" is the opinion of the dangerous man. "Public opinion" is never safe to follow until it has had time to think straight and think slowly. The great majority of the American people want to do the right thing in determining the destinies of the nation. They will do it this time if given time. For that reason they owe the Senators who are opposing Mr. Wilson's ill-considered plan, and asking for time to consider and think, a debt of gratitude. COMPULSORY FORESTRY URGED TO SAVE TIMBER Chief Forester Tells Evils of Blind Assaults on Woodlands. The compulsory practice of forestry on private timberlands, coupled with a liberal policy of public co-operation and assistance, was advocated by Henry S. Graves, Chief of the United States Forest Service, in a recent address in Boston before the New England Forestry Congress. Our country is progressively destroying its forests," said Col. Graves. "The consequences are very far-reaching. The exhaustion of the forest is followed by the closing of industries the steady increase of waste lands, the abandonment of farms that depended for their market on the lumber communities, and the impoverishment of LAND REGISTRATION NO. 15.

BANHEIM GAZETTE Senators who oppose Mr. Wilson's "League of Nations" are in somewhat the same position many Senators were when Mr. Bryan forced "Free Silver Coinage" upon the thought of the country, and came very near overwhelming the good sense of thousands of otherwise hardheaded and sensible people. It was said then by the defenders of Mr. Bryan and his "idea," that Senators who opposed Free Silver without suggesting some substitute, by which the "Crown of thorns and the Cross of gold" might be lifted, were "breasting the current of an irresistible public opinion which will sweep them away." But the good sense of the majority finally prevailed, and the danger to the nation was averted. The situation, today, as far as an "irresistible public opinion" is concerned, is not a little unlike the situation in 1896. The war, dreadful from whatever angle viewed, has twisted the vision of many people, and brought to the surface many eruptions and skin diseases that are symptoms of a temporary disorder, but which, if taken in time and probed to the source, will pass away, and yield to the sober thought of the men and women who, while anxious to help along humanity and witness the dawn of "peace on earth" realize that human nature has not changed since 1914, and the problems of today are the same old problems of yesterday, modified slightly by the atmosphere of war, and the memory of horrors. But this should be the time above all times when sober, serious thought and wisdom drawn from the pages of experience, should prevail. Sentiment and hysteria, false assumptions and still more false argument, should be cast aside. What appears to be "an irresistible public opinion" should not be mistaken for sober reflection. The people want to do the right thing. Give them time to think carefully and straight; then and only will there be "a current of irresistible public opinion" which will guide the Senators and the Ship of State to a safe harbor. The Times assumes that Senators Henry S. Graves, Chief of the United States Forest Service, in a recent address in Boston before the New England Forestry Congress. "The country is progressively destroying its forests," said Col. Graves. "The consequences are very far-reaching. The exhaustion of the forest is followed by the closing of industries the steady increase of waste lands, the abandonment of farms that depended for their market on the lumber communities, and the impoverishment of any regions. "No section of the country can afford to have a large part of its land an unproductive waste, with the loss of taxation value, of industries, and of population that would be supported if these lands were productive. No section can afford to be dependent for its supplies of wood products on another section from 1,000 to 3,000 miles away." The leaders of the southern pine industry, it was pointed out, say that the original supplies of pine in the South will be exhausted in 10 years, and that within five years not less than 3,000 mills will go out of existence. "Already there is an acute problem of supplies for paper mills and for other industries in the East which use specialized material," said the Forester. "Pacific coast timber is entering the eastern markets. This means that the price of home-grown timber has risen to a point making it possible to ship timber 3,000 miles in competition with it." "Timberland owners have not recognized an obligation to prevent their property from becoming a source of injury to the community. Even in organized fire protection the chief effort is confined to the stands of merchantable timber. The character of the forest problem is such as to require the participation and direction of the public. We are not going to meet the situation until the public takes hold of it." "There should be compulsory fire protection of cut-over lands as well as standing timber. The public should prohibit destructive methods of cutting that injure the community and the public at large." "At the same time," said Col. Graves, "there should be recognized a public obligation not to throw the entire burden on private owners through merely restrictive measures, but liberal action to aid owners in introducing forestry should be taken." "The public should provide a sane being partner with the northerly line of said lots. 4. By David L.

Give them time to think carefully and straight; then and then only will there be "a current of irresistible public opinion" which will guide the Senators and the Ship of State to a safe harbor. The Times assumes that Senators are in danger because they do not offer some substitute for Mr. Wilson's program. This raises the question, whether the people and the nation are ready to join any "League" at all. If not, why should any Senator offer a substitute for Mr. Wilson's "League"? The assumption of the Times also brings up the question, Why this haste in so important a matter? Instead of being in danger by opposing the Wilson "League," it would seem that the Senators are doing the nation a great service. They are putting on the brakes at a critical time, and simply asking the people to stop, look and listen. The very fact that so much doubt surrounds the language and meaning of the "Covenant," is sufficient reason for unusual care and consideration before anything is done. Finally, if after reflecting upon and digesting the proposed "Covenant" and ascertaining just where it will land the United States, the people really want to enter into such an International League of Nations, there is plenty of time to do so. If on the other hand, neither this nor any other "League" appears to be the best thing for the United States, those Senators protection of cut-over lands as well as standing timber.

Graves, "there should be recognized a public obligation not to throw the entire burden on private owners through merely restrictive measures, but liberal action to aid owners in introducing forestry should be taken." "The public should provide a sane system of taxation; it should co-operate in such problems as overproduction of lumber, land classification, colonization, problems of labor, technical questions relating to methods of practice, and other economic, industrial, and technical matters involved in a constructive program of forestry." Secretary Redfield sees nothing to criticize in the action of British government in excluding American manufactures from the markets of the United Kingdom. The American free trader is not interested in the sale of American products abroad—what he is crazy about is promoting the sale of alien products in the United States. George Washington and his Farewell Address are of course out of date, but not near so much so as Moses and his Ten Commandments. It took 40,000 more employees to run the Pennsylvania railway in 1918 than it did in 1917, with less tonnage carried. Administration Democrats are still wondering how they happened to lose that last election after such perfectly splendid arrangements had been made for something very different. Owing to the failure of the necessary appropriations, the so-called U.S. employment Service has been "skeletonized" by discharging all the privates in the organization and retaining all the high salaried executives on the pay roll.
