EFFORTS TO ELIMINATE HAZARDOUS CONSTRUCTION California Leads All Other States in Inspection Work California has the distinction of being the first state in the union to undertake a detailed inspection of all overhead electric utility facilities, with the view to eliminating improper and hazardous construction, as a matter of protection to the public, to the utility workers, and for the maintenance of safe and efficient service. This immense task was delegated to the railroad commission by the California legislature, through the enactment of chapter 499, statutes of 1911, as amended by chapter 600, statutes of 1915, which charged the commission with the inspection of all overhead electric facilities as to their compliance with the provisions of the law, providing for safe and efficient construction. The work has been underway for approximately one year, in which time the state from Sacramento south has practically been covered. This area includes the facilities of more than fifty electric utilities, more than 600 cities, and a large number of individual services. Upwards of 75,000 miles have been covered by the inspectors of the commission in the pursuit of the work. Completion of the preliminary inspection, and the final inspection itself will require two years additional, it is estimated. The work necessitated additions to the staff of the commission's engineering department, as it was impossible to handle it with the force available at the time the inspection was undertaken. At the present time there are three inspection engineers in the field, one clerk and one stenographer, all working under the supervision of Assistant Engineer J. E. McCaffrey. The treat on the international issue. That has been suspected for some time; the suspicion is confirmed. History repeats itself. Democratic paramount issues seldom outlive a single campaign. They are proposed in one Democratic national platform and abandoned in the next. And in repudiating the league of nations as a national issue the Democratic national organization proves that it at least has some comprehension of what buried Governor Cox under an avalanche of adverse potes in 1920. WERE FIRST "DRYS" The first body of pledged abstainers from intoxicating liquors were the members of the Bible Christian church at Salford, England, founded in 1809. From the foundation of the church all its members have been pledged abstainers from fish, flesh and fowl as food, and from intoxicating liquors. From this church was issued the first tract advocating total obstinence from intoxicating liquors. The tract is one of a series of "Letters on Religious Subjects," by Joseph Brotherton, minister of the church from 1816 to 1857. It is entitled "On Abstinence from Intoxicating Liquors' 'and bears the date of May, 1821. Mr. Brotherton was Salford's first member of parliament, a position he retained for 25 years.

At the present time there are three inspection engineers in the field, one clerk and one stenographer, all working under the supervision of Assistant Engineer J. E. McCaffrey. The cost of conducting the work is being charged against the owners of lines inspected. The commission has felt that the greatest hazard to workmen and the public existed in the facilities of the power and traction utilities, and with this in mind, inspection has been made of these properties before any attempt to look into the facilities of the telegraph-telephone and other signal companies. Excepting in the case, therefore, where in making inspection of supply lines a particular hazard is discerned in the signal lines, such as its location of proximity to the supply line, the inspection of signal facilities will not be made, until the completion of the inspection of the power facilities. To expedite the work, and to keep the cost of it at a minimum, a procedure in general is as follows: One company i na locality is notified a week or ten days in advance that the inspection is soon to follow, and the inspection fixes a definite date for starting the work. While pursuing the work of the first company he so arranges his time and labors that he can go on to the facilities of competitor companies, private individuals and municipal plants in the territory. This means that a given locality is fully inspected with one visit of the inspector, thus eliminating the expense of doubling back to pick up each individual facility. From the data gathered in the field the commission is enabled to make an accurate estimate of the cost and time necessary to make the correction in existing construction, and this information is incorporated in the decision which the commission hands the utilities after the completion of the preliminary inspection. It is contemplated to make a final inspection of the facilities at the expiration of the time allowed in the decision. While on the work of inspection it is also the business of the inspectors to acquaint the field men of the utilities with the interpretations of the MELLON EN TOUR Secretary of the Treasury Mellon hopes to make his trip to Europe simply a vacation outing for himself and family. If he has his wish his sojourn abroad will be in striking contrast to the visits of prominent foreigners to this country. Almost invariably those callers have combined propaganda with pleasure, and have accepted every invitation to address our citizens and instruct them in their proper attitude toward all debts to the United States and other subjects of common intrerest. How would our own officials be received if they undertook to return the compliment? Fortunately they have better taste and, like Secretary Mellon, mind their own business while accepting the hospitality of other nations. FLAG CODE Straw votes don't mean a whole lot.ly sent representatives to Washington to formulate a code for the proper use of the American flag and the respect that should be accorded it, and to promote the study of the words and music of the "Star Spangled Banner." A permanent committee was appointed to disseminate the work of the conference throughout the country. State legislature will be asked to enact uniform laws governing the flag, and to recognize universally the "Star Spangled Banner" as the national anthem. President Harding addressed the convention and gave hearty support to its objects. The results of the meeting ought to prove an effective antidote to the internationalism, communism and false pacifism with which the country is afflicted. DOWNWARD MARCH OF PUBLIC EXPENSES On July 1st, 1922, the federal government began its business year facing a prospective deficit of $823,000,000. That is, the estimated expenses for the following twelve months were $823,000,000 greater than the estimated income. The year is ended. Instead of the deficit there is a cash surplus of $200,000,000. Instead of being out of pocket $823,000,000 which would have to be raised by additional taxes, we are in pocket 200,000,000. In other words, the American taxpayer is $1,000,000,000 better off today than it was ex-tains record for this year just closed, this fiscal year of the HELP SAVE O Going on a vacay your guard when in fire demon is liable to any minute.

He declares that this is due to the modesty of the committee in the matter of defining party politics. But a declaration on the league would only reveal whether or not the national Democratic organization stands on the Democratic national platform of 1920. Moreover, Chairman Hull has not hesitated to declare him if exhaustively on other national issues. The refusal of Chairman Hull to say where the Democratic national organization stands on the league of nations proves that the party is beating a re-ingress necessary to make the correction in existing construction, and this information is incorporated in the decision which the commission hands the utilities after the completion of the preliminary inspection. It is contemplated to make a final inspection of the facilities at the expiration of the time allowed in the decision. While on the work of inspection it is also the business of the inspectors to acquaint the field men of the utilities with the interpretations of the commission of its general order No. 64, which became effective July 1st, 1922, and which is a more detailed ruling on the construction of overhead lines. This together with the safety to workmen and the general public, as well as the improved service assured by a better mode of construction of lines, makes the inspection now being carried on of utmost importance to everyone in the state, and is being received as such by every one connected with the electrical industry. This is the result of Republican policies and diligent, constant, hard work upon the part of the executives of the Harding administration. In this work to enforce every possible economy consistent with proper and efficient government, President Harding has been the leader. He assumed leadership in the fight for public economy immediately after he was inaugurated. He recommended in his first message to the special session of congress the enactment of a budget law. The Republican congress, thoroughly in sympathy with him and his recommendation, promptly enacted the budget law. The president then hastened the setting up of the budget bureau machinery so that the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1921, might be begun under the budget act. Soon after the creation of the budget bureau machinery he called a mass meeting of all the executives and their assistants to the number of approximately 50. This was the first time fit the history of the United States that a meeting of the government's business executives had ever been held for any purpose. President Harding in his recent address before the fourth meeting of this character, stated that that first meeting "was an epoch in the administration of government business."

At that first meeting in 1921, President Harding outlined in positive and unequivocal terms his progress of economy in public affairs, invoking the introduction of business methods and practices, the elimination of all waste, the reduction of expenditures all along the line, the co-operation and co-ordination of all those executives responsible for public administration. During the intervening two years, President Harding has held personal conferences, without number, with individuals and groups of individuals connected with the executive branch of the government for the purpose of securing the utmost economy. He has, by public exhortation, private admontion, and personal example made economy in public affairs the outstanding policy of his administration. At the close of the first fiscal year —June 30, 1922—several departments of the government returned unexpended appropriations to the United States treasury, the first time such a thing was done in the history of the United States. It was done in spite of the fact that the appropriations for that fiscal year were $714,000,000 less than for the prebival fiscal year. Not content with this record, the execute departments co-operating with the budget bureau, and acting under the direction and leadership of President Harding, have made an even greater record for economy in the year just closed, the second complete fiscal year of the Harding administration. As President Harding pointed out in his address recently to the members of the government's business organizazation, "there has been actual reduction of $256,000,000 in the expenditures of the departments and establishments engaged in the ordinary business of the government" as compared with the corresponding expenditures last year. one can say we did not do our share in giving the world a substitute for the rag. Nearly 9,000,000 pounds of candy were sold abroad. That's the sweetest stor yever told, and a soft taffy turneth away wrath. Foreigners may be jealous of American diplomacy, but they take kindly to the American flavor, judging from the fact that we exported nearly 1.500,000 gallons of fruit juices and flavoring extracts. Someone has said that the "world is in a ferment," and the Democrats will doubtless ascribe it to the fact that we exported almost 2,400,000 pounds of yeast. Yet we have it on the authority of the Bible that "a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump." If the bolsheviks come to us again to feed Russia, having in view the seizure of our corn for Lenin armies, we might put the soviet hors du combat with dried apples. We exported 12,000,000 pounds; and one might think the world was "full of prunes" because we shipped 75,000,000 pounds of that one time lowly, and now regal delicacy. There used to be a great debate among philosophers as to which came first, the hen or the egg. The Democratic tariff law solved that problem by putting eggs on the free list. They started coming in by the millions from China, and it was thus we learned that the egg came first—the hen must have been some centuries behind. Now the world is coming to us for fresh eggs and we exported over 30,000,000. To quiet the jaded nerves of a ghost-ridden world we sent out 380.000,000 pounds of tobacco and pipes in which to smoke it and over nine billion cigarettes. The world ought to be able to keep a stiff upper lip with the 224,000,000 pounds of starch we exported, and our shipments of nearly 5,000,000 garters heim schools and was a student in the A. U. H.

Nor is the president and the administration satisfied with this record. Having just entered upon another fiscal year, beginning July 1, the president admonished the mass meeting of executives that he expects during the coming year even greater economy than has been practiced this year or was practiced last year. Although the appropriations for the coming year are less than any year since the administration came in, or any year since before the war, President Harding informed the executives that he expects them not only to keep within the appropriations, but to be able to make a return of unexpended appropriations at the close of the fiscal year which ends June 30, 1924. President Harding is not unwindful of the fact that this sort of work, which is done behind the scenes away from the glamor of the footlights of publicity, is not always popular. As he stated in his recent address, "The spender is freely though often thoughtlessly applauded." However, this does not weaken the will of the administration to prosecute vigorously the program of public economy, nor make it waver in its determination to resort to every method and practice consistent with good business and good government to reduce public expenditures to the absolute minimum. HELP SAVE OUR FORESTS Going on a vacation? Then be on your guard when in the woods, for the fire demon is liable to go on a rampage any minute. Favorable weather conditions have kept the fire toll at a comparatively low figure this season, but with the long warm summer days and heavy vacation travel to the mountains the danger is increasing daily. Already this year 133 fires which burned over 11,000 acres have occurred within and adjacent to the national forests of California, reports the United States forest service. Over 70 per cent of these were set through human carelessness—an exceptionally high record for experts say for so much record for economy in the year just closed, the second complete fiscal year of the Harding administration. As President Harding pointed out in his address recently to the members of the government's business organization, "there has been actual reduction of $256,000,000 in the expenditures of the departments and establishments engaged in the ordinary business of the government" as compared with the corresponding expenditures last year.
