DEFER ROAD OPENING Important changes in the motor regulations of Yosemite National Park for the 1921 season have been made by acting Superintendent E. P. Leavitt. Of greatest interest to California motorists will be the change from May 15 to June 1 for the opening of the Big Oak Flat road. The new regulations also prohibit the transfer of park license from one vehicle to another and the issuance of duplicate licenses when the original is lost, and make very much more severe the penalties for violation of the regulations, an imprisonment clause being added. Big Oak Flat road running from Stockton and Modesto to Yosemite, traverses historic mountain country of the days of '49. Its interests draw heavy motor travel and its altitude causes snow to remain much later than any of the other entrance roads, the combination resulting in great damage to the highway when force was used to effect an opening on the early date. Last year, for instance, in order to accommodate a special party going into the park over the Big Oak Flat road, the trip having been scheduled when the opening was announced as May 15, the National Park service had to draft workmen from other projects and employ TNT to remove the snow drifts so that the party could get by. When all had passed, the soft road was cut to ribbons and was not gotten into condition for some time. By deferring the opening date two weeks, Acting Superintendent Leavitt expects that Big Oak Flat road will have a chance to dry out before real heavy travel begins, saving the public much "grief" and the Park administration considerable money needed elsewhere. The regulations state that all opening dates are approximate. Of course roads will be opened as soon as weather permits, but it might be added that the unusually wet season makes it unlikely, in the opinion of Park Officials, that the dates set will be anticipated. The El Portal and Valley roads are open all year; Wawona road will be opened May 1 and the Tioga road, from Yosemite to Lake Tahoe over the crest of the Sierra, route of the famous Tioga Tour, will be opened July 15. License fees are the same as in all other seasons, $5 for automobiles and $2 for motorcycles, good for the entire season. Speed limits remain at 30 miles an hour on the floor of the valley, except when passing Yosemite lodge and other resorts, when 15 miles is the limit; 20 miles an hour on the open stretches elsewhere in the park and 12 miles on grades and curves. Regulations as to lighting, horns, brakes, gears, etc. are unchanged. THE RAILROAD POLICY The Association Executives has adopted the following fundamental principles as those which should guide the railroads of the United States in their relations with their employees: 1. That the conduct of modern transportation is a great cooperative enterprise requiring for its highest success Honest and Loyal Cooperation of both employer and employee. 2. That Section 301 of the Transportation Act requires able effort and confession between each own employees to avoid might result in internship should be complied with in letter. 3. That one of tages of private ownership and operations in the greater area divides railroads to local social, economic conditions which vary different portions of it. 4. That the restoration of this vault to private operation must furnish efficient transportation at these rates. 5. That in view of its in opposition to seize require all railroads der rigid and uniform because it prevents or omical operation but reason that it inevitably jury to and dislocate try and to farmers who are brought into the railways for labor. 6. That under normal adjustment of rules ditions and of basic successfully be made National conference as that implies by violation of the law the railroads and which they respective. 7. That any insistent labor organizations to recognition can dispating a clear cut interests of the puits essential to efficient railroad operation.

GEORGE DUNTON FORD AND FORDSON ANAHEIM SALES AND SERVIC PHONE 263 PORTATION ACT requiring every reasonable effort and conference and negotiation between each carrier and its own employees to avoid disputes which might result in interruptions to traffic should be complied with in spirit and in letter. 3. That one of the great advantages of private over Government ownership and operation of railroads lies in the greater adaptability of individual railroads to the geographical, social, economic and operating conditions which vary greatly with different portions of the country. 4. That the restoration and maintenance of this variation is essential to private operation and to its ability to furnish efficient and economical transportation at the lowest possible rates. 5. That in view of foregoing facts it is in opposition to sound public policy to require all railroads to operate under rigid and uniform wages, not only because it prevents efficient and economical operation but equally for the reason that it inevitably results in injury to and dislocation in other industry and to farmers and stock raisers, who are brought into competition with the railways for labor. 6. That under normal conditions the adjustment of rules and working conditions and of basic wages cannot successfully be made the subject of National conference and negotiation as that implies by its very nature a violation of the differing needs of the railroads and of the territories which they respectively serve. 7. That any insistence by leaders of labor organizations that their claims to recognition can only result in prepapling a clear cut issue between the interests of the public in the conditions essential to efficient and economical railroad operation and the alleged portation Act requiring every reasonable effort and conference and negotiation between each carrier and its own employees to avoid disputes which might result in interruptions to traffic should be complied with in spirit and in letter. WHERE SOLDIER RELIEF IS IMEDIATELY NEEDED In a letter written to Senator Ashurst of Arizona, Surgeon H. S. Cumming of the Bureau of Public Health Service gives some startling figures as to the number of sick and disabled ex-service men who are still in pressing need of Government relief. These American victims of the World War are breaking down at the rate of approximately 1000 men every month, according to Surgeon General Cumming's figures. Their breakdown almost invariably may be ascribed to their wartime experiences, and the two leading causes of incapacity are tuberculosis and mental disorder Nor does Surgeon General Cummings believe that the rate of increase in the numbers of sick and insane will reach its peak before 1927 or 1929. Government facilities to care for these disabled service men he described as pitifully inadequate. Some 10,000 additional beds are immediately needed, together with a Federal appropriations of $30,000,000. The facts which Surgeon General Cummings makes public in his letter to Senator Ashurst constitute a scathing indictment of the Administration's policy towards those to whom the nation owes the most sacred obligation. At least ten thousand Americans who sacrificed either physical or mental health on the alter of national service now find themselves abandoned and virtually uncared for. The Administration has seen fit to spend with a prodical hand; the treasure of the American people during the past term of office. Hundreds of millions of the people's money have been expended with a recklessness which might be expected where the expenditures in thousands instead of millions, but with all the extravagant spending them were taken from gainful employment. They come back to us unfit for any service, unable to resume their regular occupations. They made no objection to the requirements of their country; their country should make no objection to the expense of their rehabilitation, however great that expense may be. It would be just as disloyal to measure their service and their present need in terms of dollars, as it would have been for them to refuse the service required of them. The nation owes this debt and it should be paid without a murmur or a quibble or a haggling whisper. It is not only a debt of honor but of economy. It must be registered as the foremost obligation of the American people. CARRYING COALS TO NEWCASTLE The display in the window of the San Luis Obispo grocery store of canned fruit and jams packed in Australia has started a number of people to speculating why this greatest of all fruit states should be consuming competing goods from the Antipodes. To be sure, although the water distance is great, water transportation is not as costly as land transportation, but if such goods can compete here they can also compete in every city, town and hamlet in the United States, since they start even with our own goods in the matter of cost of transportation when they reach our own shores. So it is not California competition we must consider when we see Australian fruit in our grocery windows in this state but competition the whole nation over. It is a big market. No wonder the fruit packers of Australia want to get into it. There are two ways of meeting such competition. Such fruit is enabled to pay the cost of ocean transportation to the United States and successfully be made the subject of National conference and negotiation as that implies by its very nature a violation of the differing needs of the railroads and of the territories which they respectively serve. 7. That any insistence by leaders of labor organizations that their claims to recognition can only result in precipating a clear cut issue between the interests of the public in the conditions essential to efficient and economical railroad operation and the alleged interests of railway employees in standard and uniform wages and working conditions, regardless of the different needs of the various railroads and of the widely differing character, needs tad resources of the various parts of the country which they serve.

It has been 65 years since the close of the Civil War and we are still paying disability claims resulting from that conflict. Senator Caper of Kansas cites that over 641,000 who served in the world war were disabled in varying degrees—46,000 were discharged as tubercular, 76,000 were afflicted with nervous or mental alliments, 75,000 required surgical attention and 62,000 were in need of medical care for diseases of the eyes, ears, nose or throat. A total of 579,115 invalid claims were allowed in the 36 years following the Civil war for an army of 2,400,000 men, and with the proportion holding good, there will be 1,209,950 disability claims for the 5,-041,470 veterans of the world war in the year 1956. Debts of this magnitude are absorbed or liquidated in about two generations—not by actual payments but by natural extinction of the creditors. Experts estimate that the peak of the problem will not be reached for 10 years and that in the meantime $5,000,000,000 must be spent in its solution. More than half a billion has been spent already. The same estimate calculates that ex-service claims for compensation actually to be allowed will be half a billion, the number of matter of cost of transportation when they reach our own shores. So it is not California competition we must consider when we see Australian fruit in our grocery windows in this state but competition the whole nation over. It is a big market. No wonder the fruit packers of Australia want to get into it. There are two ways of meeting such competition. Such fruit is enabled to pay the cost of ocean transportation to the United States and enter our market here on even terms, or better, because it does not cost so much to produce and pack it. By lowering the cost of production here the competition could be successfully met and the consumers secure lower prices. We have a second hand method, that of laying such a tariff duty on it that it would be kept out and our high home prices preserved. The disadvantage of the latter method is the natural restrictions it lays upon the volume of consumption, from which the orchards of California are already suffering acutely, stimulation of consumption is the greatest need of the California fruit industry. It cannot come through high prices. It would be wrong to imagine that this reduction can all, or even a considerable portion of it, be made by the packers and canners of this state. Our whole level of prices, and it is that high level which makes the total of high production cost of California fruit which in turn opened the door for the Australian fruit to "carry coals to Newcastle" by competing for consumption in the very home of our fruit-jacking industry. Last fall a cattle rancher in a remote little town in the grazing district of Oregon was sold a can of Argentine corn beef. This raised a storm throughout the entire range region of Oregon, California, Idaho, and Nevada, which added tremendously to the vote against the administration. But Argentine canned beef in the cow country of Oregon is no worse than the Australian canned apricots in California. Somebody must find the right answer if the California fruit industry is to be preserved in a condition profitable to those who are engaged in it and to the state as a whole. In the vocational and occupational schools of the United States army, there are 107 courses, ranging from agronomy to zoology. ORANGE COUNTY BUSINESS COLLEGE Experts estimate that the peak of the problem will not be reached for 10 years and that in the meantime $5,000,000,000 must be spent in its solution. More than half a billion has been spent already. The same estimate calculates that ex-service claims for compensation actually to be allowed will be half a billion, the number of applicants for vocational training will increase from 125,000 to 300,000, and those who must have hospital care and treatment will almost certainly total 50,000 many times during the period of expenditure. In reviewing these estimates it must not be taken for granted that they represent a total loss or that there is no return upon the enormous expenditure. As a matter of fact the money expended in this work is largely an investment in rehabilitation. Thousands of these men will be returned to productive employment that will steadily help to increase the aggregate wealth of the nation. It is absolutely necessary expenditure, because if it were not made the labor of these men would be practically not only a total loss but the care and maintenance of the men would be an excessive burden upon communities and individuals. It is far better that the nation should bear the burden than that it be distributed haphazard all throughout the country. We must not lose sight of the fact that these men were not originally consulted concerning their service. They were virtually conscripted for the war by authority of the government. Those who are now in need of our help were passed by the medical examiner of the army as physically fit for service. Nearly all of formia.
