SHIPSTEAD IMPUGNS PARLIAMENTARY GOVERNMENT Senator Shipstead, of Minnesota, recently assailed the "Industrial king," and said that there is a growing suspicion of parliamentary governments all over the world. Since Henry Ford has made more money out of industry than any other man in the United States, he may well be accepted as the object of Mr. Shipstead's attack. Mr. Ford is abundantly able to speak for himself, so we shall not undertake his defense. He has accumulated money faster than any man ever did before in the history of the world, and has more of it. If there be any such person in the United States as an "industrial king," Mr. Ford must come with that classification. Second to Mr. Ford comes Mr. Rockefeller, who is supposed to be the second richest man in America. Mr. Rockefeller accumulated his fortune by much the same methods as Mr. Ford—by quantity production and economy of marketing. Both Ford and Rockefeller have usually undersold their competitors, which has sometimes caused their competitors much irritation of mind and loss of business. But competition is the life of trade, and neither Ford nor Rockefeller has shown a disposition to give a competitor any business he could get himself. Mr. Rockefeller, like Mr. Ford, is abundantly able to speak for himself, if he feels that any defense is needed, so we shall not assume to speak for him. The man who gives us cheap automobiles and cheap gasoline are not in need of help from an ordinary editor. But we do take exception to that portion of Senator Shipstead's remarks which undertakes to establish the view that parliamentary govern- position he could get himself. Mr. Rockefeller, like Mr. Ford, is abundantly able to speak for himself, if he feels that any defense is needed, so we shall not assume to speak for him. The man who give us cheap automobiles and cheap gasoline are not in need of help from an ordinary editor. But we do take exception to that portion of Senator Shipstead's remarks which undertakes to establish the view that parliamentary governments throughout the world are under growing suspicion. Our own is a parliamentary government, for the Congress is the dominant branch. Senator Shipstead is, therefore, attacking our own form of government, and we deny the truthfulness of his assertion. Quite likely there are individual members of our law-making body who are nuder suspicion, although we do not know of any at this moment. We assume that there may be some, because any institution that depends upon human beings for its character must have some of the weaknesses of human nature. But Mr. Shipstead's attack was not against any one individual—it was an attack upon parliamentary government in general. He did not merely say that parliamentary governments are under suspicion, but that they are under "growing" suspicion. In other words, they are getting worse. There has been only one change in recent years in the make-up of our legislative bodies, and this change came through the adoption of the direct primary and the constitutional amendment providing for direct election of Senators. In earlier years candidates for state legislatures and for Congress were chosen in conventions and were elected by direct vote. U.S. Senators were elected by state legislatures. Under that system our legislatures were under some degree of suspicion, as also was the Senate. In response to an overwhelming demand from the people of the country, direct primaries were established and a constitutional amedment was adopted requiring that Senators be elected by direct vote. Other than that, there has been no change in the manner of choosing the membership of our parliamentary bodies. Pola Negra THE SPANISH DANCE Kinograms Tuesday and Wednesday, December Harry B.

GIBBS LUMBER Railroads Completely Regular Railroads Completely Regular The Santa Fe says efficient transportation to meet growth of country is possible under existing Governmental regulations. Farmers and business men asked to exercise their influence in Transportation Act a fair trial. The vigor of our national life absolutely depends upon transportation, primarily the railroads. To insure that all important functions of the railroads are discharged in an orderly and dependable manner the Government has undertaken to regulate them in the following particulars: 1. A Government Commission determines freight and passenger rates. 2. A Government Commission determines what is a "fair return" on the value of property used for transportation purposes, but does not guarantee any return. 3. A Government Commission determines the above value of transportation property. 4. A Government Board determines wages and working conditions in case of dispute between railroad employer and employee. 5. A Government Commission determines whether or not a railroad may issue its stock and bonds. 6. A Government Commission has determined how all railroad accounts are to be kept. 7. A Government Commission determines whether or not a railroad line may be abandoned, leased, sold or merged other line. 8. Any and every form of disclosure is prohibited by law. 9. A Government Commission safety methods and appliances are constant inspection for any failure in its requirements. There are duties devolving people to see that the railroads are treated by the Commission and whom has been delegated the task of cising the overwhelming control above, and that the provisions for control are not lightly tampered with until some clear need for change. With such treatment assured the railroad will grow in capacity and meet all the needs of our country, and vigor will be assured to our great industries, such as farming, mining and commerce. W. B.

Appeals from hungry and destitute people of Fullerton, who are in need of employment, caused S. A. Salveson chairman of the local chapter of the Red Cross, to make public a plea for co-operation in providing for them suitable work. "Many of these people are actually hungry," he stated, "and although they are able and willing to work, they are unable to find any. In the past few days we have had to assist a number of worthy people who are seeking employment." The fund being collected by a Fullerton paper has now reached a sum close to $40.00. One case which has been called to the attention of Fullerton readers is that of a sick mother, a father without work, and seven hungry children who are looking forward to the coming of Santa Claus. DISPLAY FLAGS IN SCHOOL Coincident with the announcement that Prince Kan-in of Japan is coming to America with a warship to express the gratitude of his country for the assistance we gave it the time of the earthquake that almost destroyed Tokyo and Yokohama, we have the statement of Japanese agriculturists and other nationals living in California of their purpose to abide by the decision of the United States Supreme Court on the alien land law. This is as it should be and is evidence that Japan and the Japanese American Flag in schoolrooms throughout the state. Mr. Wood urges that a small silk flag placed in all classrooms of the public schools, and that a large flag be displayed in auditoriums of schools. This emblem of the American Republic should be in constant view of school children. They should be taught to respect the flag and to devote themselves to making conditions ideals and policies such, in this country, that the flag always may be worthy of respect as typifying exalted standards of national life and policy. Inculcate in the young love of the flag and they will never see it dishonored when they grow up. NEW BEAUTY NEW MECHANICS Dodge Motors The public Latest Wednesday, Dec. 25-26 Berry B.
