NO EXTRA SESSION FOR JAP LEGISLATION Governor Refuses to Call Law Makers Together. Governor Stephens refused to complicate a world crisis "when the passions of all peoples are at a breaking point" by calling a special session of the California legislature to consider anti-Japanese legislation. In a statement he declared against a special session for this purpose as well as for the purpose of considering the high cost of living. "It is beyond the power of California," he said, "to change these worldwide abnormal economic conditions." "I recognize the growing menace caused by the introduction into our state of people of another race and the problems that will be developed by the presence of that race," said the governor with regard to the Japanese question. "Without reflecting upon the people of any other race our own experiences as well as the experiences of every other nation with a diverse race problem teaches but one conclusion. "I cannot shut my eyes to a condition in world affairs today that makes it extremely unwise at this particular time to add to the man vexing problems of our American people. "No one disputes the sovereign right of this state to enact all domestic legislation which its welfare dictates. At the same time at this crisis, when the passions of all peoples are at a breaking point, it would be folly nodules on legumes. The causes of such failures may be diverse. Sometimes poor air conditions may do so and sometimes the presence of toxic materials may do so. But where any one kind of inoculation material succeeds any other is likely to succeed. In other words, it should be repeated again that there is no special merit to commercial culture for inoculating legumes nor to any pure culture of any kind. 8. The argument made in favor of pure cultures and commercial cultures generally that they contain a strain of high-bred or unusually vigorous bacteria, is absolutely without foundation in fact. No soil bacteriologist anywhere in the world has yet succeeded in producing any strain of any group of soil bacteria which shows higher efficiency than any other under natural soil conditions. 9. It should be noted that leguminous plants will grow perfectly well without inoculation if there is plenty of nitrogen in the soil and that the only advantage of inoculation is that it saves the soil nitrogen to some extent; to how great an extent has never been determined yet. It may be much smaller than we now think on ordinary field soil. The chances are that it is very considerable on very poor sandy soils which contain little or no nitrogen. 10. The scientific evidence which is in hand at the present time does not show that, for practical purposes, it is well to sow legumes with non-legumes. There is some evidence that some benefit accrues to the non-legume in its associative growth with the legume, but the evidence at the present time Francisco and Letters.

LIPMAN In answer to numerous inquiries which reached the Farm Advisor regarding the use of commercial cultures for nitrogen inoculation, the following statement made by Dr. Chas. B. Lipman, Department of Soil Chemistry and Botany of the College of Agriculture, expresses the observations and recommendation of the farm advisors of the state. Dr. Lipman has given the subject thorough test and study and the Farm Bureau feels that his statements are worthy of careful consideration. The following is a resume of Dr. Lipman's statewide observations: 1. As a general thing, the nitrogen fixing bacteria which grow on the roots of leguminous plants like alfalfa and beans and which enable them later to get a considerable portion of their nitrogen from the air, are found plentifully distributed in the valley soils of California. 2. There are soils in this state, however, which seem to be devoid of the necessary bacteria, or at least, are in such chemical condition that the bacteria cannot develop properly. On such soils, the inoculation of legumes will be a safe procedure. 3. In growing any legume crops for the first time on a new piece of land, it is safest regardless of what has been said above, to inoculate the seed, but such inoculation should be carried out in accordance with the methods given below and no assumptions should be made that commercial cultures are held soil. The chances are that it is very considerable on very poor sandy soils which contain little or no nitrogen. 10. The scientific evidence which is in hand at the present time does not show that, for practical purposes, it is well to sow legumes with non-legumes. There is some evidence that some benefit accrues to the non-legume in its associative growth with the legume, but the evidence at the present time is far from being dependable enough for the experiment station to make any recommendations on that basis. Most of the recommendations which are being made are based on advertising principles merely, or are based on a single instance or a special condition in which success was obtained, but which, as we know in other soil problems does not necessarily prove is of general application. 11. All attempt at benefitting non-legumes like the cereals by inoculating their roots with nitrogen fixing bacteria have failed. So far as we know how the co-operation or nitrogen fixing bacteria with the higher plants through which otherwise unavailable atmospheric nitrogen is made available is restricted to plants belonging to the order Leguminosae including the peas, beans, vetches, alfalfas, clovers, lupins and related groups. All cultures purporting to be of value for inoculation of soils for non-leguminous plants or of the latter themselves are to be regarded therefore as spurious and denounced as such. LEAGUE PLANS AMENDMENT TO STATE CONSTITUTION Measure to Change Present Vaccination Law Proposed. Plans for the submission to the voters at the general election in November, 1920, of a constitution amendment prohibiting vaccination as a condition precedent for the admission of any person to a public or private school, college or university, or for employment in any public or private business, were made at the annual meeting of the Public School Protective League which has just been held. The proposed amendment is a result of the work of the league the past year. 3. In growing any legume crops for the first time on a new piece of land, it is safest regardless of what has been said above, to inoculate the seed, but such inoculation should be carried out in accordance with the methods given below and no assumptions should be made that commercial cultures are necessary. 4. Where inoculation is necessary or desirable, for the reasons above stated, the direct soil or soil suspension method for the inoculation of legumes should be followed. Explicit directions for this method will be sent from the Division of Soil Chemistry and Bacteriology to anyone in the state on request. 5. It must be remembered that all commercial cultures are derived from the same soil, or nodules produced in the same soil which is recommended for the soil suspension method. Hence there is no particular value to commercial cultures that do not attach to soil containing the bacteria. 6. In the very unusual and extreme cases in which it is impossible to get soil to make up a soil suspension, a commercial culture may be purchased, but it is to be noted that any commercial culture is just as good as any other, provided it is purchased for the particular crop which is to be inoculated and moreover, which is just as important, that one commercial culture may be used for fifty acres just as well as for one acre, by using enough water to make up a suspension of the bacteria. 7. Occasionally an inoculation, no matter what kind, will fail to produce voters at the general election in November, 1920, of a constitution amendment prohibiting vaccination as a condition precedent for the admission of any person to a public or private school, college or university, or for employment in any public or private business, were made at the annual meeting of the Public School Protective League which has just been held. The proposed amendment is a result of the work of the league the past year in endeavoring to protect the rights of school children and others under the present law, as it asserts that health officers are endeavoring to enforce compulsory vaccination. "The present vaccination law," says Douglas L. Edmonds, Counsel for the League, "is thoroughly unsatisfactory, for the reason that it gives to health officers the right to exclude unvaccinated children from the public schools under conditions which they themselves have the right to name. "With the state board of health conducting an active campaign to 'popularize' vaccination and directing the attention of physicians to the 80% of the school children of the state now unvaccinated, according to its figures, it is not difficult to understand why small-pox is being advertised as 'widely prevalent.'" "The Public School Protective League as an organization is not concerned with the merits or demerits of vaccination and the new law would not prohibit vaccination or any other form of medical treatment. It would, however, leave the question of vaccination and inoculation with the individual and prevent the raids on school children which are now being continually made." The league will present petitions for the signature of voters early in the spring and is planning a state-wide campaign of publicity from its San ANAHEIM GAZETTE Francisco and Los Angeles headquarters. Annual reports which have just been submitted covering the work of the organization for the previous year show it to be in a flourishing condition and to have accomplished much work the past year. Its purpose is to prevent the medical and ecclesiastical exploitation of the public schools and public school children. DON'T CUT CORNERS There will be no more cutting of corners" on country roads by motorists in Southern California, according to a warning sent out by traffic officers throughout the southern part of the state. Many and serious accidents have resulted from carelessness in this respect even on rural highways, says the Automobile Club of Southern California, and that organization is now cooperating with the various sheriffs' offices in trying to curb the practice and to enforce the Motor Vehicle Act, which provides for just such as contingency. Practically every city in the state maintains a special clause in an ordinance against corner cutting; it is pointed out, but motorists have developed the impression that when in the country they can slew recklessly around corners to their heart's content. No longer will this be countenanced by traffic officers and motorcycle copes warns the Auto Club, and arrests will follow wherever a driver is found not making a well-rounded turn at a highway intersection. There is now a state law to this effect and the law is going to be enforced to the minute, so watch a congress in which the King of England has six votes and Uncle Sam one. A man who will grasp Gen. Carranza by the nape of the neck and shake him until he promises to be good and makes good his promise. A man who will put the Mikado in his proper seat and tell him to remain there until he has permission to leave it. During the reconstruction period we do not want a sickly sentimentalist or an international socialist, at the head of the nation. Unless we are to lose our prestige as the world's most powerful and most prosperous nation, the man in the White House must be an aggressive citizen who believes—the American people have governed themselves wisely during the 143 years of their history, and can continue to do so without calling to their aid representatives of 31 other nations, or permitting them to have a voice in our affairs. WOULD PENALIZE STRIKES A representative of the Cattle Raiders' Association of Texas has appeared before the Interstate Commerce Commission of the House and urged the creation of a Federal board with power to fix wages and working conditions, and the enactment of legislation that will insure the public uninterrupted transportation. He would fix fines and imprisonment as the penalty for threatening tie-ups or attempting to interfere with employees at work. That is precisely what must be done if the country is to be relieved from the ever present menace of more strikes. Combinations of capital in restraint of trade have been unlawful for years, and there is no reason in justice why combinations of labor in oped the impression that when in the country they can slew recklessly around corners to their heart's content. No longer will this be countenanced by traffic officers and motorcycle cops, warns the Auto Club, and arrests will follow wherever a driver is found not making a well-rounded turn at a highway intersection. There is now a state law to this effect and the law is going to be enforced to the minute, so watch out. On the other hand, there is a warning issued for urban motorists by the club in regard to lighting tail lights, after coming out of a theater or other place of amusement at night. Many motorists forget that they have shut their lights off when leaving the car and fail to light them again, thus laying themselves open to arrest. And They Say A Santa Ana wind and a shortage of fireplugs are bad features at a fire. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

THE KIND OF MAN WE WANT The editor of the Seal Beach Wave arises in his seat and apparently in a sincere manner, without guile or mental reservation, nominates William Howard Taft for the presidency in the Republican ticket, claiming he is the only man in the party fitted for the job. Murshish heavings! The party doesn't deserve this slur. The head of the republican ticket next fall will not be a conscienced pacifist or a "constitutional objector." The American people demand, and the republicans will nominate for the head of this nation, a man who stands for America first and is not afraid to fight for his native land. A man who will refuse to enter into or sanction a covenant for the government of this country by combinations of capital in restraint of trade have been unlawful for years, and there is no reason in justice why combinations of labor in restraint of trade should not be subject to the same penalties. The public sufferes from one as from the other—in fact combinations of labor bear a greater potential danger to the community than the former. Unnecessarily high prices is the principal charge brought against the abuse of the power of capital, but complete stoppage of production is what we are threatened with by the labor unions. It will be a sad day for this country when it admits its helplessness when confronted by labor's demands. The peril must be met with a firm stand on the part of the Government, and the question settled as to whether the nation is to be delivered over into the hands of a small minority of its citizens.

First—All spark plugs are removed from motor, taken apart, thoroughly cleaned and inspected. Proven defective parts or porcelains are replaced. Plugs are then assembled, spark gaps properly spaced and plugs put back in motor. Wires leading from dash to plugs are then tested, and, if found broken or defective, are replaced. Second—The commutator shell—commonly known as timer case—is removed, thoroughly cleaned and then inspected. If contact points show rough spots or are worn, a new case is provided. If the commutator brush is rough or shows signs of wear it is replaced. Commutator wires are gone over and if found to be oil soaked, insulation worn off or generally in poor shape, they are replaced by new ones. The spark advance and retard rod is adjusted. The second phase of the work is completed when commutator case and brush is oiled and ready for use. Third—Wiring on switch is examined for loose connections and possible defects. The four coils in coil box are tested in a coil unit tester and vibrator points are examined for worn or pitted contacts, which are removed if necessary and replaced with new ones.
