NEWPORT BEACH WOMEN BOYCOTT THE SPUD Decide to Buy No More Potatoes Until the Price is Reduced. Just like Humpty Dumpty who sat on the wall, the common, ordinary, garden variety of "spud," better known as the Irish potato, is due for a fall at Newport Beach beginning March 17. On and after that date potatoes will be taboo on Newport Beach tables if the Women's Civic League, recently organized at that place, has anything to say in the matter. It might better be said, however, that "spuds" will be due for a fall if the people of Newport Beach follow the recommendations of the league, for the women have already had their say in the matter, and they spoke in no uncertain terms. Mrs. W. W. Bennett, chairman of the economic committee of the league, urged the adoption of the boycott plan. Mrs. Bennett, who, before coming to Newport Beach, was closely connected with the wholesale and retail produce business in the East, declared that the present price of potatoes is not due to a natural increase but to the fact that foreigners, principally Japanese, are in control of potato production in the state. Mrs. D. D. Driggers, whose husband is in the grocery business at Balboa, was of the opinion grocerymen would support such a boycott. She said that because of the increase in the wholesale price of potatoes there was but little profit to the groceryman in handling potatoes at this time. A committee was appointed to interview the various grocers and notify them that THE WEALTH OF NATIONS America's Valuation Now Estimated at $300,000,000,000 In 1815 at the close of the Napoleonic wars, Great Britain had a population of about 16,000,000 people and a national wealth of about $12,500,000,000. Her national wealth has increased in a remarkable manner for a country in which it would be expected that the limits of intensive development would have been reached long ago. In forty-five years, from 1815 to 1860, the wealth of Great Britain increased from $12,500,000,000 to $35,000,000,000. By 1895 it was over $60,000,000,000. In 1910 it was over $80,000,000,000 and at the beginning of the war it must have been near $90,000,000,000. While at the present time, after five years of exhausting war, England finds as the result of the war that, in spite of her enormous expenditures, the war necessities have called forth such intensive development, such an increase of production, and such a rise in wages of labor, that in spite of the cost of the war the wealth of the country has increased in a sum equal to or greater than the debt created by the war. The wealth of Great Britain is today certainly not less than $120,000,000,000. And she finds her foreign commerce and her foreign trade assuming proportions that were absolutely undreamed of before the war began. In the one hundred years from 1815 to 1914, the income of the people of 1860 it was $16,000,000 in spite of the fact that a Civil war lasting four expense equal to the extent our country at the best war, we were astonishing national wealth almost the wealth of the United States to $30,000,000,000. Thirty years later, there more than tripled for in excess of $95,000,000 it was over $130,000,000; 1914 it was estimated by authorities to be $187,000. While at the present result of the general values of the enormous war trade, of the rise in find our national income of $50,000,000,000 a year national wealth cannot be $300,000,000,000. One reason for the wealth of our country is dinary intensive development country, which contains the railroad mileage of seventy per cent of all and telephone lines which, by reason of our development produces per cent of the world's ninety per cent of the world, sixty per cent of the world, sixty per cent of all the automobiles other things in proportion. It is useless to pretend plea of Europe do not know for the wealth and po country, and it is idle they do not intend to MORE AMERICAN EGYPTIAN COTTON So great has been the success of growers of Egyptian cotton in the Southwest, particularly in Arizona, that the acreage to be planted this year probably will greatly exceed that of 1919, which was approximately 90,000. Some predictions are that the total planting will be as much as 150,000 acres. The foothold which Egyptian cotton has gained in this country as indicated by these figures is the direct result of many years of experimental and extension work carried on by the United States Department of Agriculture. The Egyptian cotton now being grown so extensively is a long staple variety which has come to be distinct from any long staple cotton grown in Egypt by reason of scientific breeding conducted by Federal specialists. With the exception of Sea Island, now practically destroyed by the boll weevil, and the Meade, not yet established on a large scale, there is nothing in this country to compare with this American Egyptian cotton. Because of its superior quality and especial fitness for making thread, automobile tire fabric, and other products, a strong demand for it has developed. All of the Egyptian cotton seed now planted in the Salt River Valley in country has increased in a sum equal to or greater than the debt created by the war. The wealth of Great Britain is today certainly not less than $120,000,000,000. And she finds her foreign commerce and her foreign trade assuming proportions that were absolutely undreamed of before the war began. In the one hundred years from 1815 to 1914, the income of the people of Great Britain increased from $2,000,000 in 1815 to $5,000,000,000 in 1860; $8,000,000,000 in 1895; $12,000,000,000 in 1910; $15,000,000,000 in 1914, and at the present time has reached the unprecedented figure of $20,000,000,000. And during this time the British population has grown from 16,000,000 to 40,000,000. In other words, while British population has only increased two and one-half times, British wealth and British income have increased ten times, so that both per capita wealth and per capita income is four hundred per cent greater today than it was a hundred years ago. The same thing is true of the other continental countries, as will be seen. In 1815, at the close of the Napoleonic wars, the French population was 28,000,000. French wealth was $13,000,000,000 and French income $2,000,000,000. By 1866, after the wars with Austria, French wealth had grown to $30,000,000,000 and French income to $4,500,000,000. By 1894 French wealth, n spite of the loss of Alsace-Lorraine, had reached $50,000,000,000 and French income $5.5ooo,ooo.ooo. In 1910, French wealth was $65,ooo,ooo,ooo and French income $9.ooooooooooo. While in this year of 1926 with the restoration of Alsace-Lorraine and the addition of the Saar Valley, the wealth of France, in spite of the losses of the war cannot be less than $8ooooooooooo nor French income less than $12oooooooooo. The states that made the German empire, though separate in 1840, had a total wealth of approximately $8.5oooooooooo. By 187o ,when the German empire was established,the wealth of Imperial Germany amounted to $2oooooooooooo and the income of the people to approximately $4. It is useless to pretend of Europe do not know for the wealth and pea country,and it is idle to they do not intend to item of intensive development effort to secure for their extraordinary wealth that to secure for themselves of the power that is our possession of such wealth. Nothing in the history has ever demonstrated peoples thereof,the primarily the war power development and the great wealth.The most people have had this them in such an unmanner that every one who prefers ship in any land.will fifty years preach the and intensive develop own country. Witness the parting old tiger,Clemenceau's stuency in declining election.His message "Work and Raise Children" echoed by every lovingly throughout the world. We are therefore,a period of intensive rest of the world mainly continue for the Europe Asia Africa America will follow each effort to equal or surive development of our people.This will an appreciation of vast an enormous increase of the peoples of the force a reconstruction ideas of what is wealthy an ordinary competence. Does it need anyone intention to the enormous power follow in financing this development of Europe.of China where hundreds are waiting to be super things that are there. ENTER THE GOLDEN EGG LIMITED For the first time in the state's history, solid train loads of eggs are leaving California for New York. This is due to market conditions which just now permit of eggs being marketed to advantage in the East by large producers. The Southern Pacific handled a fourteen carload train of eggs last week and Monday another train of twenty cars. The trains were made up of refrigerator cars and go as manifest fast freight via Ogden. There were over three million eggs in the train that left San Francisco Monday. Petaluma hens have filled most of the cars, the balance coming from the Bay district. From 1866 at the end of the war with Austria when the population of the German empire was only 33,000,000, it rose to 68,000,000 in 1914. In other words, while the population of Germany barely doubled in fifty years the wealth of the country increased five-fold, and the income of the people also increased five-fold. Modern Italy dates from 1869. In 1870, the kingdom of Italy had a wealth of $8,000,000,000. It increased to $15,000,000,000 by 1895, and to approximately $25,000,000,000 in 1910. For purposes of comparison it is well to have before us the growth in wealth of our own country. In 1850, the wealth of the United States was only $7,000,000,000. In spite of the losses of the war, not be less than $80,000,000,000 nor French income less than $12,000,000,000. The states that made the German empire, though separate in 1840, had a total wealth of approximately $8,500,000,000. By 1870, when the German empire was established, the wealth of Imperial Germany amounted to $20,000,000,000 and the income of the people to approximately $4,000,000,000. By 1900, the wealth of the German empire had reached $50,000,000,000 and the imperial income from the German people in excess of $7,000,000,000. In 1908, official German figures showed the wealth of the empire to be $83,000,000,000 and the annual income $15,000,000,000. While on the eve of the war in 1915, the Imperial Chancellor laid before the Emperor a statement showing the wealth of the German empire to be $100,000,000,000 and the income of the people $20,000,000,000. From 1866 at the end of the war with Austria when the population of the German empire was only 33,000, 1860 it was $16,000,000,000. In 1870, in spite of the fact that we had fought a Civil war lasting four years at an expense equal to the entire wealth of our country at the beginning of the war, we were astonished to find the national wealth almost doubled and the wealth of the United States equal to $30,000,000,000. Thirty years later, this wealth has more than tripled, for in 1900 it was in excess of $95,000,000,000. In 1910, it was over $130,000,000,000 and in 1914 it was estimated by government authorities to be $187,000,000,000. While at the present time as the result of the general appreciation of values, of the enormous profits from war trade, of the rise in wages, we find our national income now in excess of $50,000,000,000 a year, and our national wealth cannot be less than $300,000,000,000. One reason for the extraordinary wealth of our country is our extraordinary intensive development of our country, which contains almost half the railroad mileage of the world and seventy per cent of all the telegraph and telephone lines on earth, and which, by reason of our intensive development, produces almost eighty per cent of the world's petroleum, ninety per cent of the corn of the world, sixty per cent of the cotton of the world, sixty per cent of the world's iron and steel, eighty per cent of all the automobiles on earth and other things in proportion. It is useless to pretend that the people of Europe do not know the reason for the wealth and power of this country, and it is idle to presume that they do not intend to copy our system. States has doubled in the past ten years! At the present rate of increase the wealth of Great Britain will in 1930 amount to $200,000,000,000. The wealth of France to $120,000,000,000. The wealth of the German states, to not less than $150,000,000,000, and even Italy's wealth will equal $40,000,000,000. There is not a country of Europe now complaining of its war debt that has not increased its wealth during the war, in a sum greater than the debt that she now carries as the result of the war. RETURN OF THE RAILROADS The wreckage of the railroads has been returned to the owners. Their payrolls swollen with superfluous employees, their equipment depleted, their relationships tangled, their efficiency diminished, the railways instruct us, by their present status, in the results of politicalization of industry. Perhaps the management of the roads was as good as could have been expected under government control. The experience of the people has been that political management has blasted every business enterprise it has touched. But if political management has been at its best during the recent period of government control of railways, what could have been expected after a half dozen years more of bureaucratic management of transportation lines? Preparations have been made, on a big scale, to discredit private management of railways. People may forget sooner than they should, that the present plight of the railways, which has tion was very slight during the last two years of the period. If the United States, with all its southern states ravaged by war and its whole population rent by civil strife, could recover rapidly from a financial depression that sent currency down more than 60 per cent, surely Great Britain, with all her industries except shipping unimpaired can and will recover with little delay from a war that added immensely to her territory and increased her opportunities for expansion of world trade and depreciated her foreign exchange only 30 per cent. The effort in certain quarters to arouse in America sympathy for Great Britain, on the ground that she is financially embarrassed, is without reason. IN NORTH DAKOTA What "Non-Partisan" Radicalism Is Costing the State. The farmers of North Dakota are now finding out what their adventure in socialism has cost them, and will continue to cost them as long as it continued. They have undertaken to perform on a community basis services hitherto rendered by private interests, or so-called middlemen, and are paying their taxes accordingly. The farmers of that State have been led to believe that they were being robbed by the so-called middlemen and that if they operated their grain elevators and warehouses themselves, to say nothing of other utilities, they would be able to secure these profits for the State. They therefore embarked up... It is useless to pretend that the people of Europe do not know the reason for the wealth and power of this country, and it is idle to presume that they do not intend to copy our system of intensive development in an effort to secure for themselves the extraordinary wealth that is ours, and to secure for themselves some part of the power that is ours through the possession of such wealth. Nothing in the history of the world has ever demonstrated to the remotest peoples thereof, the power, particularly the war power, of industrial development and the possession of great wealth. The most backward people have had this impressed on them in such an unmistakable way that every one who pretends to leadership in any land, will for the next fifty years preach the gospel of work and intensive development for his own country. Witness the parting words of the old tiger, Clemenceau, to his constituency in declining to run for reelection. His message to France "Work and Raise Children" will be re-echoed by every lover of his country throughout the world. We are, therefore, on the eve of a period of intensive development of the rest of the world which will certainly continue for the next fifty years. Europe, Asia, Africa and South America will follow each other in an effort to equal or surpass the intensive development of our country by our people. This will produce such an appreciation of values and such an enormous increase in the incomes of the peoples of the earth, as will force a reconstruction of all previous ideas of what is wealth and what is an ordinary competency. Does it need anyone to call attention to the enormous profits that must follow in financing this intensive development of Europe, or of India, or of China, where hundreds of millions are waiting to be supplied with the things that are the commonest of ed. But if political management has been at its best during the recent period of government control of railways, what could have been expected after a half dozen years more of bureaucratic management of transportation lines? Preparations have been made, on a big scale, to discredit private management of railways. People may forget sooner than they should, that the present plight of the railways, which has created a huge deficiency in revenues, is the result of a long period of government operation. The present status of the transportation lines is a heritage not of private, but of public management. If higher rates must be sought it is because where once there was a surplus under much lower rates, strictly regulated by the federal government, there is now well established a big annual deficit in railway revenues. With passenger and freight rates hoisted far beyond the old level, expenses of operation have so tremendously increased, efficiency of service so greatly diminished, that with the support of the federal treasury removed, it is evident that the railway lines must either have still higher rates or go into bankruptcy. Unfortunately the railway employees have been committed by officials of the brotherhoods to the Plumb plan and to other forms of political operation of the lines. Undoubtedly a campaign will be carried on among the railway employees in the hope of inducing them to make the conditions accompanying private ownership more unpopular than those which prevailed under political operation. Fortunately the railway men for the most part are not capable of being influenced by such propaganda. Whatever they may believe as to government ownership, they will do their duty to their employment and to the public. But that this campaign will have effect in some quarters is greatly to be feared. Railway brotherhood leadership, unhappily, has been giving its attention almost exclusively to politics. Politics and unionism mix only to the detriment of unionism. The owners of the railways, under private management, face an herculean task. In its performance they should have the co-operation of all those who perform on a community scale for hitherto rendered by private interests, or so-called middlemen, and are paying their taxes accordingly. The farmers of that State have been led to believe that they were being robbed by the so-called middlemen and that if they operated their grain elevators and warehouses themselves, to say nothing of other utilities, they would be able to secure these profits for the State. They, therefore, embarked upon a plan of State socialism with the greatest enthusiasm. Now the bills are coming in, and the story reads differently. Taxes are doubled and trebled, and while it may be possible for farmers to store their wheat at a lower price than under private management, which is questionable, the profits from the operation of these utilities which were supposed to reduce taxation have not only been so insignificant that they have fallen far short of their expectations in that respect, but the cost of operation and construction have added a burden which the farmers never contemplated. Mr. Floyd R. Todd, a manufacturer of agricultural machinery in an address to the Agricultural Publishers' Association in New York recently, presented some rather startling figures by way in comparison, based upon the actual tax bills in his possession. In Barnes county of that State the figures show an increase in taxation between 200 and 300 per cent. This is really news to the farmers of North Dakota who have not yet received their tax bills, who will be quite likely to take an entirely different view of matters when they find what they are up against. It will undoubtedly spell the doom of the Non-Partisan League. This paper, in commenting on the North Dakota experiment at the time it was undertaken, declared that it would perhaps be just as well to let them try it out and take the consequences inasmuch as it would be a splendid object lesson for other States. The fact is that a propaganda is being conducted at this very moment to introduce this socialistic theory into all farming communities and it is even touching New York State. Minnesota is the State most likely to follow the lead of North Dakota, as matters now appear, and the farm notice is signed, H. A.

Does it need anyone to call attention to the enormous profits that must follow in financing this intensive development of Europe, or of India, or of China, where hundreds of millions are waiting to be supplied with the things that are the commonest of comforts in our country, or does anyone need to have his attention called to the fact that the intensive development of Africa and of South America and of Australia presents opportunities similar to the development of our own country west of the Mississippi river during the past fifty years? Look, if you please, at the values or wealth of that part of our own country lying west of the Mississippi, in 1870, and compare them to the values and wealth and population in that same territory in this year of 1920. The increase is 2500 per cent! Naturally such development in Africa, South America and Australia must be as slow as the development of our own West, for it is more or less dependent upon the growth of population in territories now inaccessible. But this is not the case in the intensive development of Europe, which, in spite of war losses, still has a population of 400,000,000, or of India with 325,000,000 or of China with 460,000,000. The wealth of Great Britain has doubled in the past twenty-five years, the wealth of the German Empire doubled in fifteen years, the wealth of France has doubled in thirty years, and the wealth of our own United employment and to the public. But that this campaign will have effect in some quarters is greatly to be feared. Railway brotherhood leadership, unhappily, has been giving its attention almost exclusively to politics. Politics and unionism mix only to the detriment of unionism. The owners of the railways, under private management, face an herculean task. In its performance they should have the co-operation of all those who disbelieve in state socialism. Government operation of railways was intended to be the first big step toward politicalized industry in the United States. The results of the experiment were not such as to commend socialized industry to the American people. In judging the efforts of private enterprise to give the people service it should be kept in mind that it is operating under the terrible handicap of conditions created by many months of politicalization, with its inevitable accompaniment of extravagance, inefficiency and general demoralization. NO BASIS FOR SYMPATHY The fact that British currency has been depreciated to the extent of about 30 per cent, as indicated by American exchange rates, is no basis for concern over Great Britain's ability to revive from the injurious effects of the war. In 1864 American currency was worth as low as 38 cents on the dollar and the average value for the entire year 1864 was less than 50 cents. American currency was at a discount after the Civil War until the resumption of specie payments, January 1, 1879, although the extent of deprecia- them try it out and take the consequences inasmuch as it would be a splendid object lesson for other States. The fact is that a propaganda is being conducted at this very moment to introduce this socialistic theory into all farming communities and it is even touching New York State. Minnesota is the State most likely to follow the lead of North Dakota, as matters now appear, and the farm journals of the country can perform a substantial service if they will educate the farmers of the country to regard socialism as the menace that it is, and by the way of concrete example to point out what is already happening in North Dakota.

Judge Cox's court room was Friday the gathering place of seven members of a large band of gypsies as the result of their arrest following a near riot at Olive in which citizens and gypsies were on the verge of a clash.

In the dispute that followed the gypsies threatened to throw Seamans out of his place of business.
