NEW PARASITE IS BEING INTRODUCED South African Insect Expected to Help Citrus Growers Following on the heels of the successful introduction by the state department of agriculture of the aphycus, the parasite of the black scale which has done such wonderful work in the control of this pest in Ventura and parts of Orange and Los Angeles counties, the department has recently made another introduction of a new parasite which looks very promising. Harry S. Smith, chief of the pest control bureau of the department, who made the aphycus introduction, is now in southern California, superintending the work with the new parasite, which is being carried on at the laboratory at Whittier. This parasite, so far as laboratory observations have gone, seems to be more prolific than the aphycus and works on the smaller size scales. Just how it will adopt itself to California climatic conditions is of course not known, but it came from South Africa, where climatic conditions are similar to California. The state department has other new parasites at the present time. Two foreign collectors are maintained in the field, one in Australia and one in the orient, searching particularly for parasites of the red scale. Director Hecke is also negotiating with the United States department of agriculture with the object in mind of extending the foreign search for beneficial insects through joint expeditions with the federal department. Dr. L. O. Howard, chief of the United States bureau of entomology, has asked Director Hecke to send Mr. Smith, the department specialist on this conference having as its object the extension of the foreign parasite collecting work. government would have the right to take over the property as its own, at the end of th period by paying to the company only the investment made in the project. "Regulation of rates, financing and construction methods would be by the federal power commission and state regulatory bodies and this plan would provide an enormous quantity of cheap power more expeditiously and at a lower cost than any other plan of development. "The latest government census of the electric light and power industry shows that privately owned electric companies are producing ninety-six per cent of all the electricity generated in the nation, and municipal plants only four per cent. This production of electricity in privately owned plants is twenty-four times as much as in municipal plants, with only nine times as much labor employed. One man in the private plant produces as much electricity as is produced by two and one-half men in municipal plants. "The government census further shows that the average rate at which electricity is sold throughout the whole country by private companies is only two cents per kilowatt hour, while the average rate charged by municipal plants is four cents. "These facts demonstrate," continued Mr. Ballard, "that the privately owned companies are the proper agencies to undertake larie power development under state and federal regulation. "The power developed on the Colorado river would be distributed throughout seven southwestern states in the Colorado river basin. "The policy of large privately owned companies is to build up all of the territory which may commercially be occupied, both within large cities and in smaller communities and rural districts. Under this policy the whole territory grows and prospers, and thus by the tournament of roses to finance the projects dreded and ten boxes—six box—will be leased for tax of ten dollars, one and select seats can be ten years and five thousand seats will be sold for fifty dollars each, plus w dollars.

BALLARD ADDRESSES EDISON SOCIAL CLUB Gives Some Information Relative to Southern California Edison Co. R. H. Ballard, vice-president and general manager of the Southern California Edison Co., recently addressed a meeting of the Santa Ana Edison Social club and stockholders at a get-together meeting. "To know and become personally acquainted with each of the two hundred thousand members of the Edison family," he said, "is an undertaking upon which we are now embarking. "This figure is found on the basis of five persons to each security holder, each of whom is directly interested in us as part owner, or financial associates in the company's business." During the past twenty-five years of pioneer water power development in California, he related, the Edison company has made extensive eastern financial connection and has established engineering, operating and executive organizations adequate to successfully and expeditiously carry through large development projects. "Our human organization," said Mr. Benjamin F. Pearson, manager of operations of the company, who accompanied Mr. Ballard, "is one hundred per cent American. It is the greatest asset the company has—greater even than its magnificent physical properties. It is this organization which stands behind the stockholders and the bondholders, and is our guarantee of permanence and efficiency." Mr. Pearson then told the fascinating story of the Edison organization and its personnel. "From a gross earning of thirty-six thousand dollars," resumed Mr. Ballard, "since 1896, the business has grown to a total of over sixteen million dollars this year. The number of customers has increased from one thousand to two hundred forty thousand, and the investment from one million to one hundred twenty-five million under state and federal regulation. "The power developed on the Colorado river would be distributed throughout seven southwestern states in the Colorado river basin. "The policy of large privately owned companies is to build up all of the territory which may commercially be occupied, both within large cities and smaller communities and rural districts. Under this policy the whole territory grows and prospers, and the development of back country is what, in the last analysis, makes the cities grow. The self-centered idea of municipal officials is to establish plants for furnishing light and power only within the cities, without regard to the outside territory, and the relatively smaller cost of distribution in the congested city districts sometimes makes it possible for municipal plants to charge a lower rate for residence lighting service. However, it is the average rate for all service furnished, and not the comparison of the single maximum light rate, that demonstrates the fifty per cent cheaper service furnished by privately owned companies." In conclusion, Mr. Ballard said, "The working out of public ownership in the province of Ontario, Canada, according to a report of an investigation committee of its legislative assembly made this year, has shown that it resulted in driving one hundred thousand people from the land to the cities. The Edison company's operations in Orange county have not only built up the agricultural community, but each one of your cities has grown proportionately." GREAT STADIUM FOR TOURNAMENT OF ROSES Five and Ten Year Seats Being Sold to Pay for Structure Interest in the big million-dollar tournament of roses stadium to be built next year in the wonderful valley of the Arroyo Seco, Pasadena, has been intensified throughout southern California during the past week, as a result of the generous response on the part of the underwriters of the project in subscribing for approximately 20 per cent of the five and ten-year seats. In addition to this sale, $8000 seats will be offered for public subscription beginning November 1st. Day and night since the beginning of the sale, October 20, the tournament of roses headquarters in the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce building has THAT ROTTEN OLDS It is impossible to conceive hypocrisy than that of Democratic congressman fesses to be "shocked" tures in the Newberry seat in Michigan and a time is a partner in and by the rotten laws and practiced in the solid south; the purpose of preventing est possibility of major election and primary law; south are deliberate swing conceived in crookedness ed in corruption.

The number of customers has increased from one thousand to two hundred forty thousand, and the investment from one million to one hundred twenty-five million in the same period. "The Big Creek-San Joaquin river developments are progressing satisfactorily, with ninety-two thousand horse power completed and put in operation this year from these and the Kern river projects, representing an increase of thirty-three per cent in plant capacity. A year's work has been prosecuted on the new thirteen mile Florence lake tunnel in the high Sierra mountains, which will increase the water supply four-fold to Huntington lake reservoir. The present water supply will develop through five power ouses two hundred vfty thousand horse power which the added water will increase by one million horse power. "The company's application to the federal power commission at Washington, D.C., composed of the secretaries of war, agriculture, and the interior of the government, expresses its willingness to undertake the complete job of developing the Colorado river for three million five hundred thousand horsepower, which is more than twice the amount of power now used in the entire state of California. Absolute flood control, and regulation of the river to make possible the irrigation of an additional three million acres of land would result. This work to be done under a federal license for fifty years by the terms of which the been intensified throughout southern California during the past week, as a result of the generous response on the part of the underwriters of the project in subscribing for approximately 20 per cent of the five and ten-year seats. In addition to this sale, 8000 seats will be offered for public subscription beginning November 1st. Day and night since the beginning of the sale, October 20, the tournament of roses headquarters in the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce building has been the center of great activity, under the direction of A. J. Bertonneau, manager of the stadium committee, and for many years a prominent factor in tournament and other civic affairs in Pasadena. Others co-operating with Mr. Bertonneau to make the movement for the big stadium a success are J. J. Mitch, ell, president; A. T. Welles, vice-president; J. M. Wood, treasurer; and Mrs. R. C. Bartow, manager of the tournament of roses. When completed, this stadium will be the most modern structure of its type in the world. It is to be constructed on a thirty-acre site with a seating capacity of more than sixty-five thousand. The stadium field will be 275 feet wide and 475 feet long, which will provide space for a quarter mile running track. The stadium will be built of reinforced concrete and the seats will be of wood to provide greater comfort for those occupying them. Every facility for the success of the annual tournament of roses national football game, and other great events to be held, have been provided for by the plans of Myron Hunt, the architect, who will supervise the construction of the big stadium, which in many important features will resemble the Yale bowl. A unique plan has been formulated..." by the tournament of roses committee to finance the project. Two hundred and ten boxes—six seats to each box—will be leased for ten years for twelve hundred dollars a box, plus war tax of ten dollars, one of five thousand select seats can be purchased for ten years and five thousand additional seats will be sold for five years for fifty dollars each, plus war tax of five dollars. Other advantages obtained through the purchase of these leased seats include a membership in the tournament of roses for the term of seat reservation; the right of access to the seats for every event held in the stadium, and a coupon equal to one-fifth of the price of the five-year seats or one-tenth in the case of ten-year seats will be given to all purchasers. These coupons will be accepted in exchange for the coming New Year's game and when so used will count as one year of the term for which seat was purchased. It has been announced by the tournament of roses that the money and notes received from the sale of these seats will be placed in depositories named by the Pasadena clearing house association. These funds are to be used only for the erection of the stadium. Application for the selection of seats may be made at the tournament of roses offices in the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce building. THAT ROTTEN OLIGARCHY It is impossible to conceive of greater hypocrisy than that of the southern Democratic congressman who professes to be "shocked" by expenditures in the Newberry senatorial campaign in Michigan and at the same time is a partner in and beneficiary of the rotten laws and practices well established in the solid south states for the purpose of preventing the remotest possibility of majority rule. Theators into conference and placed the California walnut tariff proposition before them with such success that upon his motion they unanimously agreed to support the proposed schedule. California walnut growers are asking for a tariff of twelve cents on shelled and four cents on unshelled walnuts. Carlyle Thorpe, general manager of the California Walnut Growers' association, who visited Washington last summer with C. C. Teague, the association president, to lay the tariff issue before the senate finance committee, says he has the utmost confidence that Senators Johnson and Shortridge will be successful in their efforts to secure the desired protection for the California industry. FILES CROSS COMPLAINT Property damage to the amount of $1 and exemplary damages in the sum of $2000 are asked by A. J. Fogler, of Westminster, in an answer and cross complaint to an action brought against him by M. L. Simms, who accuses Fogler of killing his Airdale dog. The cross complaint is on file in the county clerk's office. Simms, also a resident of Westminster, recently sued Fogler for $1000, which he claims is the value of the dog. He also asked $2000 exemplary damages. In his answer to Simms' suit, Fogler says that he is the owner of a large number of rabbits and fowls. Both the rabbits and chickens, he contends, were bothered and worried by dogs. The Airdale, according to Fogler, came upon his property, pestered his chickens and threatened to bite him. Fogler says that he threw some rocks at the dog, but it refused to leave his place. He then procured his trusty gun and killed it. The case was recently aired in the justice court. Simms swore to a com- THAT ROTTEN OLIGARCHY It is impossible to conceive of greater hypocrisy than that of the southern Democratic congressman who professes to be "shocked" by expenditures in the Newberry senatorial campaign in Michigan and at the same time is a partner in and beneficiary of the rotten laws and practices well established in the solid south states for the purpose of preventing the remotest possibility of majority rule. The election and primary laws of the solid south are deliberate swindling devices, conceived in crookedness and executed in corruption. There is scarcely a senator or representative from a solid south state who is not a party to the swindle and a share holder in the usufruct of the theft. The searchlight of publicity ought to be thrown by congress upon the election laws and practices of the solid south states, clearly and flagrantly violating the federal constitution, under which seventy-five per cent of even the white voters are disfranchised. But for some reason or other it is impossible to interest many members of congress in a movement to either terminate or penalize the lawlessness of the political oligarchy which has put the "mock" in democracy in the solid south states, and after having enslaved the voters has given to these commonwealths the most reactionary governments existing anywhere in the union, with poor roads, backward institutional systems, inadequate provisions for public education and all the evils and abuses which go along with moss-back autocracy. ADEQUATE PROTECTION PROMISED TO WALNUTS With sixteen western senators pledged to support the proposed tariff for California walnuts, this state's second largest horticultural industry seems likely to obtain adequate protection from foreign competition at an early date. Senators Shortridge and Johnson who have worked tirelessly for a suitable protective tariff on walnuts since the question of import duty was taken up in Washington this year, have telegraphed to the California Walnut Growers' association, saying that relief is not likely to be long delayed. A few days ago Senator Johnson, according to dispatches from Washington, called sixteen of the western senators that he is the owner of a large number of rabbits and fowls. Both the rabbits and chickens, he contends, were bothered and worried by dogs. The Airdale, according to Fogler, came upon his property, pestered his chickens and threatened to bite him. Fogler says that he threw some rocks at the dog, but it refused to leave his place. He then procured his trusty gun and killed it. The case was recently aired in the justice court. Simms swore to a complaint charging Fogler with killing the dog, and the issue came before Judge Cox. Judge Cox held that the dog was a nuisance and that Fogler was justified in killing it.
