WILSON RECORD STILL DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM Wise Democratic leadership would not now proclaim the glories of an administration upon which the people rendered a verdict of complete repudiation in the great and solemn referendum of November, 1920. It would disclaim responsibility for the errors of the Wilson era, insist that the Democratic party had undergone regeneration, and promise solemnly to do better if given another opportunity. But Democratic National Chairman Hull, sounding a Democratic keynote in his home state, which, a part of the solid south, went Republican in protest against the Wilson administration in 1920, declares that the record of that administration is still the platform of the Democratic party. He depicts that era as a golden age, with American prosperity at high tide, with economy and efficiency in full bloom at the national capital. It was only "criminal malignity and reckless falsehood" that weaned the people away from Wilsonism, and so far have we slumped from the glories of Democratic achievement since last March that "the American people have suffered colossal and incalculable losses." Assuming that in all this Chairman Hull is seeking to be serious and not funny, it must be admitted that this chronicle of the sublimities of Democratic administration is more audacious than veracious. The memories of most Americans now living reach back to the Wilson era, and it will take something more than the rhetorical flights of the Democratic national chairman to wipe out the vivid remembrance of waste, extravagance and incompetency upon which the people rendered judgment sixteen months ago. Under Republican leadership, declares Chairman Hull, "American commerce has slumped six billion dollars during the past six months." If there has been so big a slump it it had been talking about for half century. But the party leadership which promised to reduce the high cost of living, end profiteering, eliminate extravagance and keep us out of war, should busy itself trying to keep the minds of the people off the actual performances of the Wilson era rather than hold the record of that period up as a sample of what Democracy will do to the American people again if it gets another whack at them. FORD'S VIEW OF BOND-BUYING For the purpose of showing the importance of giving small savers an opportunity to aid in the development of industrial enterprises, the Republican press contrasts some recent utterances of Henry Ford. They say: "In a recent interview Henry Ford declared that his bank balance was in the neighborhood of $140,000,000 and that he had no doubt that his assets could be capitalized and sold for a billion dollars. He had previously given out the information that his income and excess profits tax last year was $76,000,000. Concluding his recent statement he said, 'All the money that comes to me goes into new industries. I never invest money in bonds or anything of the kind.'" "In view of some public comments Mr. Ford had previously made on the subject of the rights of bondholders it may be worth while to take more than a passing glance at the above quoted remark. Mr. Ford is by native talent and training a man of mechanical skill, and of rare ability in the organizing of productive industry. He not only knows how a piece of machinery should be constructed in order to get the best results out of the least material, but how to produce that machinery at the lowest cost. He also knows how to put that machine on the market to the best advantage. He not only has capital, but he has the ability to use that capital better than the year, bringing time during the ensuing proximately a million.

If there has been so big a slump it is under the operations of the tariff law Chairman Hull, as a Democratic congressman, helped to fasten on the country. It is worse than Mr. Hull says: the slump, under the operations of the Underwood tariff law, has been more in exports than in imports, indicating the immediate necessity of a protective tariff law framed in the interests of the American consumer, rather than in behalf of alien producers and importers so much profited through the operations of the existing Democratic tariff law. "The recent Democratic administration," continued Chairman Hull, "has not yet received credit for its many great accomplishments. But whatever its defamers may say in the future, even the school children will soon learn that in 1912 our national wealth was $187,000,000,000, and in 1920, when the Republican administration was chosen, it was $330,000,000; in 1912 our foreign trade was $3,850,000,000 and in 1920 it was $13,500,000,000." If the school children have competent teachers they will learn at the same time that the dollar of 1920 had less than half the purchasing power of the dollar of 1912, and that according to Chairman Hull's own figures the real wealth of the nation in 1920 was less than in 1912, while the foreign commerce of the country, figured on the basis of volume rather than inflated values, produced no greater increase in American values in 1920 than in 1912. Under the normal operations of the existing tariff law, which Mr. Hull and his party enacted, the balance of trade in our dealings with foreign lands had turned against the United States in 1914, and now that the war is over, the balance of trade, on the basis of equivalent American valuations, has again turned against the American people. When the Republican party came into power in March, 1921, it found American manufactures and American agriculture in the grip of depression. Mr. Ford is by native talent and training a man of mechanical skill, and of rare ability in the organizing of productive industry. He not only knows how a piece of machinery should be constructed in order to get the best results out of the least material, but how to produce that machinery at the lowest cost. He also knows how to put that machine on the market to the best advantage. He not only has capital, but he has the ability to use that capital better than any one else could use it for him. "But Mr. Ford makes a grievous mistake when he assumes that others should or can do as he has done. There is many a man of mechanical skill who can conceive a new idea in machinery, but who has not the business ability to get together enough capital to finance production. There are also men of earning power as wage earners who have no business ability which would enable them to make by themselves profitable use of their savings. Our present complex industrial organization is made up very largely by bringing together the men of skill in production and the men or accumulated savings. "The man with five or ten thousand dollars of savings to invest cannot go into the business of producing automobiles, or sewing machines, or typewriters, or phonographs; but is enough of these small capitalists put their money together under the management of some man skilled in production they can put into practical operation an industrial enterprise which will not only earn a profit for the manager, but a profit for these numerous small capitalists whose savings are thus employed. Without this combination of the capital of one class of people and the skill of another, both the capital and the skill would remain idle. These capitalists must, of course, have some evidence of their interest in the business and that evidence is represented by stocks or bonds. "Because he has capital enough of all own to be the sole owner of his establishment and to have no bond indebtedness, Mr. Ford recently declared that bonds were a commercial evil and should be thrown away. Under that theory of business organization the saver of small amounts of money would be denied the opportunity to use that capital in useful production. Moreover under Mr. Ford's theory the man who has skill in production, but no capital, would also be denied the opportunity to become a remark.

"This year the co-ed Congressman S first term, and his generally acceptable In the present situation be little chance for event, and certainly would make a grave placing Swing, who good committee assis be better placed intion." When the Republican party came into power in March, 1921, it found American manufactures and American agriculture in the grip of depression. There was a huge army of unemployed, farm prices were dropping, factories were closing, and the American people were in the midst of the reaction from a financial and governmental debauch. It is a fact that Republican leadership is staggering unthe load thrown upon its shoulders by Democratic recklessness and incapacity. To expect an administration to clean up in ten months the awful mess Chairman Hull's party was eight years in making is evidencing too much faith in the super-human strength and wisdom of Republican leadership. The country will do well to recover in a quarter of a century from what was done so it during the eight years' era of Democratic control. The huge debt, necessitating burdensome taxation, we will have with us for fifty years. There is talk of a Wilson memorial, but this one will keep Mr. Wilson freshly in the mind of Ameriran taxpayers for a long time to come. If the Democratic party ever gets in sight of control of the government at Washington again it will have to be on some platform other than the glorification of what it did when it had the big chance to inaugurate all the reforms, introduce all the economies, display all the efficiency and wisdom alone to be the sole owner of his establishment and to have no bonded indebtedness, Mr. Ford recently declared that bonds were a commercial evil and should be thrown away. Under that theory of business organization the saver of small amounts of money would be denied the opportunity to use that capital in useful production. Moreover under Mr. Ford's theory the man who has skill in production, but no capital, would also be denied the opportunity to become a useful producer on an extensive scale. "In his latest declaration regarding his investments Mr. Ford has given what is practically a repudiation of his earlier statements." FISH AND GAME NOTES A large amount of wild rice received from Minnesota has been planted sloughs, ponds and the feeders of Clear lake by the Lake county fish and game association, in order to provide feeding grounds for ducks. Rice will also be planted in Scott's valley. Quite a number of arrests have been made by game warden for killing deer out of season and heavy fines imposed. An Indian by the name of John Lego was arrested for the third offense. He thinks a descendant of an original settler should have the privilege of killing deer at any old time of the year. He is now thinking it over in the Shasta county jail. The plans of the fish and game commission for increasing the capacity of the Hammond fish hatchery a hundred per cent are developing. A new hatchery will be built on ground donated by the Southern California Edison company, and near the present temporary hatchery. Additional trout were provided before the close of their own to be the sole owner of his establishment and to have no bonded indebtedness, Mr. Ford recently declared that bonds were a commercial evil and should be thrown away. Under that theory of business organization the saver of small amounts of money would be denied the opportunity to use that capital in useful production.

Clark recently found 400 wild ducks in the possession of Compagno Bros., San Francisco poultry dealers. Charges were filed in the police court a few days later and before the case had been called another 200 birds were taken in the possession of the persistent firm. When the laws are so flagrantly violated, the guilty parties should be given the maximum allowed by law. Deputy Courtright recently arrested two Oregonians in Modoc county for having deer meat in their possession. They were discovered in the lava beds of Siskiyou county. W. E. Hall, of Merrill, Oregon, was taken before Judge Wilkins, of Doris, and fined $150. J. C. Krulegh, of the same town, was also arrested. He tried to hold off the deputy at the point of a gun, but failed and he paid Judge Wilkins a fine of $250 for the two offenses. READY TO SUPPORT SWING John King, of Hemet, is one of the few Democratic editors in southern California; but the fact that the Hemet News is Democratic and its editor is postmaster by the grace of a Democratic administration does not prevent King from giving the Republicans a lot of advice about their candidates. He is taking a very lively interest in the nomination for governor, for example, and in his last issue takes up the congressional situation. On that point he says: "The congressional situation this year is in many respects similar to that of 1914. In that year President Wilson was in the middle of his first term and Congressman Kettner had served two years most acceptably. It was recognized even by the very many ardent Republicans that the district would be best served by sending Kettner back, since a Democrat could do more for his district than a man politically opposed to the administration. "This year the condition is reversed. Congressman Swing is ending his first term, and his service has been generally acceptable to the district. In the present situation there would be little chance for a Democrat in any event, and certainly the Republicans would make a grave mistake in misplacing Swing, who has a number of good committee assignments and will be better placed in event of re-election."

Congressman Swing is ending his first term, and his service has been generally acceptable to the district. In the present situation there would be little chance for a Democrat in any event, and certainly the Republicans would make a grave mistake in misplacing Swing, who has a number of good committee assignments and will be better placed in event of re-election. "Evven the Democrats admit that Congressman Swing has been uniformly courteous; obliging and industrious in looking after affairs of the district. He knows the people and their needs, appears to be influential at the departments and wants to give the best-service of which he is capable. There will be quite a general desire in this part of the district to give the judge a re-election, unless reap portionment should place Imperial county in another district." The main significance in this article is in the fact that it conveys the inference that Kettner will not be a candidate. There has been talk in San Diego of his running as a Republican. King is very close to Kettner and very likely knows well his political plans and ambitions. The advice to re-nominate Swing is good, even though it comes from Democratic source; but in general the Republicans probably will be able to select their candidates without Democratic advice or assistance.
