STATE HIGHWAY BOND PROPOSAL As this issue of the Journal goes to press an initiative petition is in circulation; and if it is completed and filed in proper time there will be submitted to the people in November next a somewhat unusual and radical proposal in the form of a proposed constitutional amendment relating to highway bonds. The $40,000,000 highway bond issue of last year was voted by the people in the form of a constitutional amendment. Under the terms of the amendment the interest rate was fixed at 4½ per cent. Under present conditions in the money market, it is claimed, bond-buyers demand a higher rate of interest. The constitutional amendment now proposed would permit of the payment of interest up to a rate of 6 per cent, at which rate, it has been figured, the total interest cost would be $12,300,000 higher than under a 4½ per cent rate. The addition of over $12,000,000 in interest alone represents in itself a somewhat radical proposal; but that is not the only radical change suggested by the amendment. By its terms the amendment would cancel the now-authorized $40,000,000 highway bond issue and authorize a new issue of like volume, with interest rate not fixed. The amendment creates a new constitutional board, to be designated the "State Highway Finance Board," to consist of the governor, controller, treasurer, (constitutional officers), the chairman of the state board of control and the chairman of the California Highway commission, (statutory officials). It will be the duty of this board to manage the sales of bonds and fix interest rates at time of sale. An interest rate of 6 per cent, as a maximum, is authorized. Under present conditions, 6 per cent undoubtedly would be demanded by purchasers and the several boards of supervisors throughout the state. The proposed amendment which has been touched upon in the foregoing observations was projected by a "Conference" arranged by the state highway commission, and held in San Francisco on June 19th. At that conference the suggestion was urged by several gentlemen that the highway program be reduced, for the present, to the construction of certain necessary units; that the larger projects be held in obeyance until material, labor and money conditions have become more stabilized; that no authorization be proposed now for increasing the interest rate. It was shown that Illinois and Indiana have decided not to embark on extensive construction work this year; that Wisconsin has reduced its work by half; that New York's program has been greatly curtailed, and that numerous other states are following along these lines, preferring to wait a little while and then secure roads built with dollars of a value making some approach to normal. These suggestions were rejected by the conference. L. A. Nares, director of the California State Automobile association, who said he was speaking for that organization and the Automobile Club of Southern California, was strongly opposed to the action taken by the conference. He was quoted as follows by the San Francisco Chronicle: "Chairman Darlington of the highway commission has said that the $40,000,000 would not build more than $25,000,000 worth of roads, but an investigation by our associations leads us to believe that a considerable shrinkage, even on this figure, would result and that probably not more than one-half of the road contemplated by the constitutional amendment could be constructed under it. We strongly recommend that all construction, except necessary units on main high-ducer (all arguments notwithstanding), and caused cattle to be made they at least had good not to include themselves nomic misfortune) to production.

"State Highway Finance Board," to consist of the governor, controller, treasurer, (constitutional officers), the chairman of the state board of control and the chairman of the California Highway commission, (statutory officials). It will be the duty of this board to manage the sales of bonds and fix interest rates at time of sale. An interest rate of 6 per cent, as a maximum, is authorized. Under present conditions, 6 per cent undoubtedly would be demanded by purchasers and allowed by the board. Will the recognition of the board of control and the highway commission by the constitution, and the imposition of constitutional duties on the chairmen of these two statutory bodies, serve to constitutionalize them? If so, the proposal is indeed radical. The time is at hand for the reorganization of our state government along the approved lines adopted by other states. Reorganization demands elimination boards and commissions and a concentration of administrative authority in clearly defined departments. The duties of the board of control, under reorganization, would properly go to a department of finance, and the duties of the highway commission would go to a department of public works. Reorganization can be accomplished by the legislature under the present status. If the board of control and the highway commission are constitutionalized under this amendment, it follows that the process of reorganization will be complicated; for a constitutional amendment will be required to get rid of them, or to transfer and allocate any duties assigned to them by the constitution. Another radical proposal contained within the amendment was inserted, obviously, as a vote-catcher. It provides that the several counties of the state shall be relieved of the interest they now pay on highway bond monies used for construction work within their respective borders. Oftenably, this is a measure for the relief of "poor" counties. Some relief, no doubt, would be advisable in certain instances. It could be worked out on an equitable and satisfactory basis. But the real purpose of this proposal is to get the amendment adopted by placing before the citizens of the several counties of the state the prospect of acquiring concrete through roads, built and paid for by the state (with respect both to principal and interest), and perpetually maintained by "Chairman Darlington of the highway commission has said that the $40,000,000 would not build more than $25,000,000 worth of roads, but an investigation by our associations leads us to believe that a considerable shrinkage, even on this figure, would result and that probably not more than one-half of the road contemplated by the constitutional amendment could be constructed under it. We strongly recommend that all construction, except necessary units on main highways to complete the road between important centers, shall cease for the time being, saving for the state $20,-000,000 in construction costs and $12,-300,000 in interest for the life of the bonds." Figures were submitted to show that the outstanding bonded debt of the state, irrespective of the $40,000,000 highway issues, has been inflated to the extent of 685 per cent since 1911, while assessed valuations have increased only 59 per cent; that 61 per cent of the total outstanding debt is for highways; that practically all of that portion of the debt which is not for income-producing utilities is highway debt; that in addition to the $44,558,500 now outstanding there are authorized but as yet unsold state bonds amounting to $56,h40,000, mak- to what it wanted to do.—Taxpayers' when the bonds are sold, the total bonded debt for highways will be $77,040,000. Financial data however made no impression on the conference which evidently had its mind made up to what it wanted to do. Journal. AIN'T IT THE TRUTH? The meat packers have an organization to which they have given the very dignified title, "Institute of American Meat Packers." From time to time the institute issues a statement concerning the meat and livestock situation. The reports are prepared very carefully and written in a vein of bland frankness suggesting a philanthropic concern for the producer. Ordinarily the information conveyed has been known to the producers for months and usually means nothing. We imagine therereports are never intended to create mirth, but occasionally one reaches our desk that does stir our sense of humor. To wit, a recent report: "During nearly every month of 1920 producers lost money on cattle and many packers reported losses on beef. Prices of hogs and pork products are well below market prices." It is well that the first proposed obligation was here are some of them in the total: 1. Acceptance of all of the league of mills which, if adhered to mediate raising of bales and the sacrifice of A's and sailors to restore ultimately twenty-two earth's surface where raging. 2. Acceptance of Armenia costing hundreds of dollars and maintenance of a hundred miles from city. 3. A continuation in travagance in which administration already includes people's holders from cabins solely from political involvement untold costs in loss of efficiency. 5. A continuation in attitude of the law-enforcement as a result of which have been meridious helpless consuming millions of people exploitation of the secrecy emplified in the past fixing special sugarern sugar growers, $70,000,000 for an extra trate plant in Alabama of other millions in insignificant water that section of the county. 7.

The encouragement visism by extreme leniends radicals in our own removal of trade resilia—policies that Octoberly, this is a measure for the relief of "poor" counties. Some relief, no doubt, would be advisable in certain instances. It could be worked out on an equitable and satisfactory basis. But the real purpose of this proposal is to get the amendment adopted by placing before the citizens of the several counties of the state the prospect of acquiring concrete through roads, built and paid for by the state (with respect both to principal and interest), and perpetually maintained by the state "without cost to the counties." In other words, it has the appearance of "something for nothing," and so such, it is presumed, will prove popular. No account is taken by the state highway commission, and the other proponents of this measure, of the fact that the construction of high-class permanent through-roads by the state relieves the counties of an enormous burden of local expense in connection with highway constriction and maintenance. There are but few counties that cannot well afford to pay interest on the state highway bonds in return for the relief from expense of county road construction and maintenance. The bond advocates, however, propose to load the entire expense onto the state. On the other hand, they do not intend to allow the state any sort of compensation for the additional burden it must carry. Several states collect and retain all automobile license money. California allows half of the automobile money to the counties. For the support of its vast highway projects, the state, if it is to bear construction costs, interest costs and perpetual maintenance costs, should take the total automobile license collections. But that proposal is not popular enough to fit into the plans. It would draw a protest from Ordinarily the information conveyed has been known to the producers for months and usually means nothing. We imagine there reports are never intended to create truth, but occasionally one reaches our desk that does stir our sense of humor. To wit, a recent report: "During nearly every month of 1920 producers lost money on cattle and many packers reported losses on beef. Prices of hogs and pork products are substantially lower now than at this time last year; due largely to diminished exports. The decrease in slaughter indicates that as a result of these losses some producers have cut down their herds and may restrict production. Such a situation would be an economic misfortune for both the livestock producer and the public. Past experience has been normally that higher prices for meat animals, and hence for meat, have followed restricted production, after which the consumer again restricted consumption. The ratio of livestock to population for the last 20 years, with the exception of one or two of the war years, has been constantly decreasing. In some quarters world crop conditions and the price trend in corn and hay are interpreted favorably to producers of livestock. Those holding this view point out that lower prices for grain obviously would reduce the cost of raising livestock." After frankly stating that "during nearly every month of 1920 producers lost money on cattle and many packers 'reported' losses of beef, which will logically lead to restricted production, the institute frankly give the opinion that 'such a situation would be an economic misfortune for both the livestock producer and for the public.' In the face of the fact that the packer sets the price to the producer." The list might bring the hopeless out finance and morale note" of the democrats Cox declaration dorsement of the v WELCOME TO "Wherever one goes hears people in northern California and stating that they live in the near Elyman Huff last week chambers of commerce Huntington Huff sponding to the aid Huff attended the election and visited for east.

If the producer has failed to register a profit on cattle to date we fail to see where he will increase his "economic misfortune" by getting from under a losing game. In the meantime, the packer wins either way production jumps. We quite agree that lower feed costs will reduce the cost of raising livestock, but we feel enough to gamble a slick jitney that a profit for the producer will not necessarily follow, that is, unless the packers fail to run true to form and do not seize upon cheaper feed as a club to hammer down prices. It's a great game if you don't weaken!—Cultivator. ARE YOU ON HIS NOTE? "The platform of the democratic party is a promissory not," says Governor Cox. "I shall see that it is paid in full, every dollar and every cent." Which means that, if elected president, Mr. Cox will exact from the American people payment in full for all the excesses of democratic misrule included in that platform. Before the public is called upon to write an endorsement of that note in November, it is well that the full extent of the proposed obligation be made known. Here are some of the items included in the total: 1. Acceptance of all the obligations of the league of nations covenant, which, if adhered to, means the immediate raising of billions of dollars and the sacrifice of American soldiers and sailors to restore peace at approximately twenty-two points on the earth's surface where wars are now raging. and bask in the sunshine of Southern California, enjoy the good roads and indulge in living as life is lived here." ORANGE COUNTY BOYS WHO WON MEDALS Many Received Decorations for Meritorious Service During the War Immediate action should be taken to get a full and complete record of decorations and citations for distinguished service won by Orange county men during the world war, so that this record can be filed with the war history department of the California historical survey commission. As the records now stand, Orange county stands tenth county in the state for the number of citations or decorations for distinguished service. The high standard of service and sacrifice that marked the careers in uniform of Orange county's men was exceptional. When full record is made, this county will be shown to stand fourth or fifth among the counties of the state. The records of the war history department at the Doe library, Berkeley, shows this county's service men to have gained only seventeen citations and decorations. A brief offhand review conducted in the Register office from the memories of members of the staff brought out the names of a number of men who received citations and decorations not listed in the history department. The seventeen names as sent to the Register by Genevieve Ambrose, secretary of the war history department, follow: 1-Diedrich V. Burdorf, Fullerton, cited by America. 2-Carl F. Burns, Santa Ana, Croix de Guerre. 3-Private Paul Cozad, Santa Ana. Commended for bravery. Cited by America. in Galveston, Texas, August 3 and 4. In some cities of the south plague infection has been found in 80 per cent of the rat population. The health officer of every California city should conduct an active campaign for the destruction of rats. There is no single measure in the prevention of plague that is more readily available or more effective than this. SOME OHIO FIGURES The popular illusion spread during the democratic national convention that Governor Cox once defeated Senator Warren G. Harding in Ohio and that Governor Cox is a master campaigner is dispelled with the arrival of facts and figures of the last four elections in Ohio as compiled by the Ohio secretary of state's office. Raymond Benjamin, republican state chairman and assistant to the national chairman, sent for Governor Cox's elections history after the democratic convention, to learn the truth of the reports which had been circulated by Cox supporters with such telling effect. Here are some of the facts as gleaned from the report of the secretary of state of Ohio: Cox never defeated Harding. In the only election where the two were candidates Harding was returned to the United States senate by a plurality of 102,373, while Cox (then governor) was defeated by 29,200 votes. Cox never won a straight-away fight against the republican ticket in Ohio. He has won by virtue of a large progressive vote going to a third candidate, as a beneficiary of the "kept us out of war" slogan and polling 82,792 votes less than Woodrow Wilson in this election, and in 1918 by a republican defection in Hamilton county, including Cincinnati, which is normally 25,000 republican. Benjamin declared that the facts of Governor Cox'subernatorial election It is well that the full extent of the proposed obligation be made known Here are some of the items included in the total: 1. Acceptance of all the obligations of the league of nations covenant, which, if adhered to, means the immediate raising of billions of dollars and the sacrifice of American soldiers and sailors to restore peace at approximately twenty-two points on the earth's surface where wars are now raging. 2. Acceptance of a mandate over Armenia costing hundreds of millions of dollars and necessitating the maintenance of a huge army thousands of miles from our shores. 3. A continuation of the orgy of extravagance in which the democratic administration already has wasted billions of the people's money. 4. The appointment of federal office holders, from cabinet members down, solely from political considerations, involving untold cost to the taxpayers in loss of efficiency. 5. A continuation of the supine attitude of the law-enforcing branches of the government toward profiteers, as a result of which billions of dollars have been meridiously forced from the helpless consuming public. 6. The divergence of hundreds of millions of the people's money for the exploitation of the southern states, exemplified in the past few years by the fixing of special sugar prices for southern sugar growers, the expenditure of $70,000,000 for an all-but-useless nitrate plant in Alabama, and the waste of other millions in the development of insignificant waterways throughout that section of the country. 7. A continuance of the factors that contribute to the high cost of living, such as currency inflation under the federal reserve system, gross governmental extravagance, and tax laws that discourage industry and stifle production. 8. A continuation of a postal inefficiency that puts an indirect tax of millions upon the people annually. 9. The possible cancellation of the $10,000,000,000 debt owed to us by foreign governments, under the $ 1 hostile influence of the league of nations council, which sum then would have to be raised by taxation of our own people. 10. The encouragement of Bolshevism by extreme lenency toward alien radicals in our own country and the removal of trade restrictions with Russia—policies that may well cost us decorations not listed in the history department. The seventeen names as sent to the Register by Genevieve Ambrose, secretary of the war history department, follow: 1—Diedrich V. Burdorf, Fullerton, cited by America. 2—Carl F.

That the list may be incomplete is stated in a communication from the secretary, who asks that she be informed of any additions or corrections that should be made. The distinguished service cross awarded Lieutenant Elmer T. Worthy of Huntington Beach is not on the list. Neither is the citation given Sergeant Russel Coleman of this city listed among the seventeen. A cursory examination of a book entitled, "With the 364th Infantry in America, France and Belgium," a copy of which is in the Santa Ana Library, discloses the fact that there were at least nine Orange county men of that one hard-fighting regiment who were "cited for exceptional bravery and meritorious conduct under fire." Cox never won a straight-away fight against the republican ticket in Ohio. He has won by virtue of a large progressive vote going to a third candidate, as a beneficiary of the "kept us out of war" slogan and polling 82,792 votes less than Woodrow Wilson in this election, and in 1918 by a republican defection in Hamilton county, including Cincinnati, which is normally 25,000 republican. Benjamin declared that the facts of Governor Cox's gubernatorial election will be a shock to many democratic leaders, who, during closing hours of the democratic convention, were induced to swing to the support of Cox with the promise that that he would defeat Senator Harding in his home state. According to Benjamin, a review of the Ohio vote for the past four elections offers them little promise for a Cox victory in Ohio next November in view of the authentic reports from there that all republican factions are now solidly behind Harding and Governor Coolidge. Here are the figures from the Ohio secretary of state's office which Benjamin says must dispel the dreams of democrats for a democratic victory in the home state of the two nominees: 1912 Cor (democrat) ... 439,323 Brown (republican) ... 275,500 Garford (progressive) ... 217,903 Total republican vote—Brown plus Garford, 490,403. 1914 Cox (democrat) ... 493,804 Willis (republican) ... 523,074 Garfield (progressive) ... 60,904 In this same election Harding was re-elected United States Senator, carrying the state with a plurality of 102,-373, while Cox was defeated. This is the only real test of strength between them recorded. 1916 Cox (democrat) ... 568,218 Willis (republican) ... 661,602 In this election Cox ran as a beneficiary of the Wilson "kept us out of war" campaign. Cox was elected by a plurality of 6,616, but ran 82,792 votes behind Wilson. 1918 Cox (democrat) ... 486,403 Willis (republican) ... 474,459 It was in this election that Hamilton county (Cincinnati), normally republican by 25,000 votes, turned to the Cox ticket as a result of a republican disaffection giving him the necessary votes to elect him. Hamilton again is overwhelmingly republican. 9. The possible cancellation of the $10,000,000,000 debt owed to us by foreign governments, under the $ to 1 hostile influence of the league of nations council, which sum then would have to be raised by taxation of our own people. 10. The encouragement of Bolshevism by extreme lenency toward alien radicals in our own country and the removal of trade restrictions with Russia—policies that may well cost us untold lives and treasure in the defense of our civilization. The list might be continued showing the hopeless outlook for American finance and morale if the "promissory note" of the democratic platform and the Cox declarations receive the endorsement of the voters in November. WELCOME TO OUR MIDST "Wherever one goes in the east he hears people inquiring about Southern California and hundreds of them stating that they are coming here live in the near future," declared D. Eyman Huff last week at the associated chambers of commerce meeting at the Huntington Beach inn, in responding to the address of welcome. Huff attended the republican convention and visited for a brief time in the east. "People are going to come here from the east in flocks," he continued, "and it is up to the people of Orange county to provide places for them in which to live. They spoke of our good roads—those who had been here and those who had heard of them. I asked who was going to buy our oranges and products if all of the east moved into Southern California. The reply was in a general way, that the didn't care about that—they just wanted to come PLAGUE The United States public health service, in cooperation with the state board of health, has, during the past few weeks, found plague infection in the immediate vicinity of Martinez, San Pablo, Richmond, Albany and Santa Cruz. Infected squirrels have also been found within a few miles of Gilroy, Hollister, Watsonville and Half Moon Bay. During the month of June 7379 squirrels were collected and of this number 41 were found infected with plague. The activities of the inspectors were confined to the central coast counties of the state. The plague situation in California cannot be regarded lightly. Surgeon General Hugh S. Cumming of the United States public health service, has called a conference on plague to be held LEMON TARIFF NEEDED Fine Riverside lemons are selling in eastern auctions as low as 50 cents a box and at the same time there are 140,000 boxes of Sicily lemons on hand in the New York market. The present tariff on lemons is half a cent a pound; and the situation the growers are up against ought to serve as a powerful argument for the election of a republican president, a republican senator from this state who is a protectionist, and a republican congressman to succeed Kettner. While the war lasted, the German submarine acted as a protective tariff on lemons from Europe, but now that normal conditions are being restored, Italian lemons are being dumped onto the American market at prices that make competition by the California growers impossible. THE SICILIAN MENACE Sicilian and other European lemons are being sold in eastern markets for from $1 to $1.60 per box. It costs approximately $2.50 per box to get California lemons in the hands of eastern consumers. There are 200,000 boxes of Sicilian lemons on the way to America, according to the manager of an YOUR AUTOMOBILE —Are you getting the service from your automobile that it is supposed to give? —Are you getting automobile satisfaction? —If not, why not?

Markets east of the Mississippi are closed to California growers on account of these cheap European lemons, dumped upon the Atlantic docks by the boatload, with no barrier except the meager half-cent a pound tariff placed by congress last year. Hundreds' of cars of California lemons are rolling eastward, with no assurance that the owners thereof will be able to obtain adequate renumeration for them. Thousands of acres of young groves will come into bearing next year and add to the production. Will congress allow the great lemon-growing industry of California to go to ruin through the continued importation, practically duty free, of lemons produced by cheap labor in Europe? The growers of California are facing a crisis, and look to the lawmakers at Washington to help them save an investment of approximately $65,000,000. There are, it is estimated 32,000 acres of lemons in the state, with a production of our 4,250,000 boxes. This branch of the citrus raising industry is one of the state's greatest assets. Thousands depend upon it for their livelihood. At great expense the growers fight pests and frosts so that there will be a crop which will return them a meager mar- gin of profit. The United States department of agriculture works at great pains and expense to develop new varieties and new pest fighting methods to help the growers produce more and better lemons while congressmen in another Washington building pass legislation which tears down the work that the scientists of the government have built up. STRADDLER COX Candidate Cox is quoted as saying that he has not as yet met any democrat with whom he was not in accord. No doubt. And that's the weakness of his position. He tells that doughy old irreconcilable, Senator Jim Reed, one thing about his stand on the league of nations, and Reed gives him an "O.K." He tells Mr. ilson another thing, and gets the royal "W.W." He assures the phohls that he is for them, winking over their shoulder at the Tammany Tiger as he says it. This much is certain: The democrats are hopelessly split on several issues, and if Candidate Cox finds himself in accord with all factions of his party he has Janus looking like a burlesque poster. It can not honestly be done.
