WHAT REPUBLICAN RULE HAS ACCOMPLISHED IN SPACE OF THREE YEARS Wonerful Improvement Compared With Conditions Prevailing When G. O. P. Came Into Power March, 1921. No period in American history records as great improvement in conditions as the period since March, 1921. It can be realized only by comparing the hard times and general depression which existed then with the activity and prosperity which exist today. When the Republican party came into power three years ago the situation could not have been much worse. Five million wage-carners were walking the streets. Agriculture generally was on the verge of bankruptcy. Interest rates were high. Government securities were selling at 85. Business of all kinds was bad, and very apprehensive of the future. Federal expenses and taxes were high. Th nation was still legally in a state of war with the central powers of Europe. All nations were suspicious of each other and engaged in competition to increase their military and naval equipment. Under Republican administration and Republican legislation a marvelous transformation has taken place. The industrial activity of the last year has been the greatest in American history. More wage-carners have been employed at higher wages than ever before. Retail business broke all records last year. Although it has not yet received its full measure of prosperity, agriculture has gone forward a long distance from its depression of 1921, and roads which may be of interest to the committee. Under the act of the last legislature the committee is empowered to investigate the location of constructed and unconstructed highways, advisability of eliminating any part of the present system, necessity for acquiring any additional state highways, and methods of obtaining restate highway system. In its report to the governor, the committee also is authorized to recommend the best method of outlining a proper system of California state highways and a plan for financing the same. The committee, which was appointed in February by Governor Friend W. Richardson, is composed of representatives of the state legislature board of control, highway commission and the general public as follows: Senator A. H. Breed, Alameda, chairman; Assemblyman Elmer Bromley, Los Angeles; George Radcliff, member state board of control; State Highway Commissioner Louis Everding, Arcata; State Highway Engineer R.M. Morton, Sacramento; A.E. Loder, engineer for the California State Automobile Association, San Francisco; E.E. East, engineer for the Automobile Club of Southern California, Los Angeles; J.B. Gill, San Bernardino; and J.H. Newman, Dinuba. W.F. Mixon, secretary of the highway commission, will act as secretary of the committee.

"The President had courageously followed by our constitution of America, and the Dakota and the poor standing squarely in that thou position."

"There is seen North Dakota result those partisan so endeavored, by insistence of the s privilege, to besmirch of our President. result means against of approval has been President's sound A referring all charges to the properly cost for the investigation acts." "The president's cut and decisive part of opposing political sophistry flage can make it GOOD" One of the factors development is lack of the modern so Under Republican administration and Republican legislation a marvelous transformation has taken place. The industrial activity of the last year has been the greatest in American history. More wage earners have been employed at higher wages than ever before. Retail business broke all records last year. Although it has not yet received its full measure of prosperity, agriculture has gone forward a long distance from its depression of 1921, and conditions justify the belief that this improvement will continue. Business is optimistic and preparing for a record breaking year. America is at peace with the world. Solely through the instrumentality of the late President Harding a conference was called and carried to successful conclusion which resulted in universal naval disarmament and the promotion of a spirit of friendship among the leading powers of the world. Public expenses have been reduced over $200,000,000 a year, and this has been in turn lifted from the backs of the American people. In the form of tax reductions. Government securities are selling at par or better. Interest rates are normal, encouraging legitimate industrial and business expansion. Cooperation among the governmental agencies has been established, resulting in a tremendous saving of money and an equally great improvement in the quality of public service. This has been brought about by Republican policies in which the legislative and executive branches of the government have cooperated. CALIF. HIGHWAY COMMISSION The advisory committee of nine, authorized by the last legislature, began its studies of the state highway system Monday, March 24th, when it convened in Los Angeles, preparatory to a trip of inspection over Southern California highways. This was the announcement made at the offices of State Highway Engineer R. M. Morton, a member of the committee. The committee will meet at 10 o'clock Monday morning at the offices of the state highway commission in the Pacific Finance Building, Los Angeles, and left for San Diego, at noon. The schedule of the committee for the trip includes the following over night stops: San Diego, Monday night, March 24th; El Centro, Tuesday night, Mar. Representative Republican women of Los Angeles county held a reception on Thursday afternoon, March 20th, at the Los Angeles Coolidge headquarters, for Mrs. Florence Collins Porter, Mrs. Helen Matthewson Laughlin and Mrs. Laura Taylor Kelley. Coolidge delegates of the May primary. This reception was attended by more than 100 leading women. Following the reception a conference of members of the executive committee of the women's division was conducted by Mrs. Porter, who is chairman of the women's activities. Organization of the Young Men's Coolidge for President club was effected at a meeting last Thursday evening and plans were made for conducting an intensive campaign among the younger-voters of Southern California. According to the plans which were agreed on at this meeting a woman's division is to be organized at once. Coolidge Republicans of Huntington Park opened their campaign on last Thursday evening with a rally in the American Legion hall. This was one of the most largely attended meeting outside of Los Angeles. Mrs. Porter and W. E. Evans, also a Coolidge delegate, addressed this gathering. The second instruction meeting of the Southern California speaking bureau was conducted last Wednesday, March 19, at the Clark hotel in Los Angeles. Professor H. J. Stonler, of the University of Southern California, gave a second lecture on the bonus plan. These meetings are to be continued regularly each Wednesday. A number of evening meetings will also be held. Sawtelle Coolidge Republicans had an enthusiastic rally on Tuesday evening, March 18th, in the women's club house of that place. Reports from this meeting indicate that the membership of this club has been increased at a rapid rate during the past few days. The membership drive which is now in progress by the body has for its goal 1000 persons active in the campaign work. Reservations have commenced to come in to the Los Angeles Coolidge headquarters for the luncheon which will be conducted on Tuesday, March 20th. COOLIDGE HEADQUARTERS' ACTIVITIES One of the factors development is lack of the modern seabuilding and using. We know too many roads which are new. Many of our twenty years behind haven't caught up. For instance, "a The enormous men them is thus a cap." Roads do not wipe face of a good road. So does the roof replacing the house that the rest of it. The surface of a road it wears out it must that doesn't mean way, he grade, for the material is any at first. "Trucks destroy trucks should pay too, is a fallacy destroys a road, will fit than a baby garden path. It is which destroys rooftops destroys rooftops too light a road traffic it ill be roads; it is failure and maximum local stroys roads. "There isn't most for national highway be bankrupt!" Mr. are fourteen million United States. If an average of $500 underestimate), the vestment of $7,000 get bankrupt buyl not! Why should buying seven billion roads... and then billions will build national highways these engineers and may Transportation Americans, nothing for all our history: pelled to translation "highways" and we understand... announcement made at the offices of State Highway Engineer R. M. Morton, a member of the committee. The committee will meet at 10 o'clock Monday morning at the offices of the state highway commission in the Pacific Finance Building, Los Angeles, and left for San Diego, at noon. The schedule of the committee for the trip includes the following over night stops: San Diego, Monday night, March 24th; El Centro, Tuesday night, Mar. 25th; Blythe, Wednesday night, Mar. 26th; San Bernardino, Thursday night, March 27th. At the preliminary meeting in Los Angeles, the committee discussed methods of procedure in its investigation and study of the state highway system, preparatory to making a report to the Governor and the legislature. During its trips about the state, it will be the purpose of the committee, it is announced, to meet citizens interested in highways affairs whenever possible, and to receive from them any data or information which they wish to present. The present trip, which is the first of a number which well be undertaken in the immediate future, is for the purpose of observing the present condition of state highways in Southern California, both as regards completed highways and roads not yet under construction. After other sections of the state have been visited, and similar observations made, it is the plan of the committee to hold a series of hearings at central points when the residents of the various sections will be given an opportunity to present their ideas and suggestions regarding routings of highways, financing of their construction and any other facts or information pertaining to the state evening, March 18th, in the women's club house of that place. Reports from this meeting indicate that the membership of this club has been increased at a rapid rate during the past few days. The membership drive which is now in progress by the body has for its goal 1000 persons active in the campaign work. Reservations have commenced to come in to the Los Angeles Coolidge headquarters for the luncheon which will be conducted on Tuesday, March 25, at which Congressmen Walter Lineberger and John D. Fredericks will be the principal speakers. These Southern California representatives are the first of a series of nationally known speakers who are expected to address Southern California audiences during the next few weeks in behalf of President Coolidge's campaign. THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE "In the victory of President Coolidge in North Dakota the people of that state have expressed themselves as clearly and as unequivocally in favor of sound and fundamentally American principles as has the President himself in any of his public expressions. Coming as the expression of a great western state, North Dakota has voiced the approval o fthe west for the policies of the President," said a statement issued at Coolidge State headquarters. The statement continued: "The North Dakota decision means that the Republicans of the west recognize Calvin Coolidge as the one and logical Republican candidate for the Presidency at the coming election. The repudiation by the North Dakota voters of the candidacy of the only other entered Republican candidate is eloquent of the temper of the CONSOLIDATED AND NATIONAL Good Roads Analysis County School With the enormous literacy in the U.S., it is generally of the greatest importance to show problem as it applies educational methods a bygone age, since this country, Franklin York Commission, forth some startling According to one-fourth of these enrollment and rural teaching on one-room schools there are upward one-room building States, and a fall ANAHEIM GAZETTE west and of the nation at large. It is a recognition of the sound and constructive efforts of President Coolidge to make practical the principles and ideals of Republicanism that are the basis of our existence as a constitutional government. "The President has stood squarely and courageously for the rights granted by our constitution to the citizens of America, and the citizens of North Dakota and the people of America are standing squarely behind the President in that thoroughly American position. "Taken in connection with the defeat of Senator Moses of New Hampshire, who refused to run as an instructed Coolidge delegate, this Coolidge victory is definite proof that, irrespective of state lines, the American people are giving their unqualified endorsement to the President and his policies. "There is seen in addition in the North Dakota result a repudiation of those partisan senators who have endeavored, by insinuation and the exercise of the so-called senatorial privilege, to besmirch the good name of our President. The North Dakota result means again that the stamp of approval has been placed upon the President's sound American course in referring all charges of unlawful acts to the properly constituted tribunals for the investigation and trial of such acts. "The president's victory is cleanly and decisive. No effort on the part of opposing influences through political sophistry or verbal camouflage can make it appear otherwise." GOOD ROADS One of the factors retarding road development is lack of appreciation of the modern science of highway of them were constructed at least 40 years ago, despite the fact that school architecture and equipment have been advancing by leaps and bounds during that time. Four-fifths of them have no provision for heating and ventilation, except the old unjacketed stove and the rickety windows, and nineteenth of the buildings are not properly lighted. In at least 90 per cent the seating is poor and unadjustable, and often where the seats could be arranged to suit the pupil, this has never been given consideration. Where in the cities some four-fifths of the teachers have had at least the minimum amount of standard training—that is, two years beyond the high school—in the country less than one-twentieth have so qualified, and the turnover in rural teachers each year is just about 50 per cent. One of the most effective answers to such conditions has been found in the consolidated school, in which many children can be accommodated, brought from miles around and returned to their homes by the motor bus. But this solution to the problem of how to get good rural education is possible only where there are good roads. In the days to come, when national highways gridiron this country, as they undoubtedly will, there will be no problem of rural education. According to the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, the consolidated school movement began in Massachusetts in the early seventies. For many years horse-drawn vehicles were then used in carrying children to and from school within a radius of seven miles. Parents gradually began to see the many advantages of the larger schools over the old "little red schoolhouse." With the motor bus children are now transported for 15 to 18 miles in an hour. School districts have in- GOOD ROADS One of the factors retarding road development is lack of appreciation of the modern science of highway building and using. We know too many things about roads which are not so! Many of our highway ideas are twenty years behind the times. We haven't caught up with the engineer. For instance, "all roads wear out. The enormous money invested in them is thus a capital loss." Roads do not wear out. The surface of a good road wears, of course. So does the roof of a house. But replacing the house roof doesn't mean that the rest of the house isn't good. The surface of a road is its roof. If it wears out it must be replaced. But that doesn't mean that the right of way, he grade, foundation, and all the material is any less valuable than at first. "Trucks destroy roads. Therefore trucks should pay for roads!" That, too, is a fallacy. A truck no more destroys a road, when truck and road fit, than a baby carriage destroys a garden path. It is lack of maintenance which destroys roads, tilaswgnoll which destroys roads, it is allowing too light a road to be built for the traffic it will bear, which destroys roads; it is failure to enact wide tire and maximum load laws which destroys roads. "There isn't money enough to pay for national highways. We will all be bankrupt!" More fallacy. There are fourteen million motor cars in the United States. If they are worth on an average of $500 each (which is an underestimate), they represent an investment of $7,000,000,000. Did we get bankrupt buying them? We did not! Why should we get bankrupt buying seven billion dollars worth of roads... and the interest on seven billions will build today more national highways than we have as yet engineers and machinery to build. Transportation has been, for us Americans, nothing but rail and water for all our history. Now we are compelled to translate the word into "highways" and "motors." Motors we understand... highways, as yet, mobile Chamber of Commerce, the consolidated school movement began in Massachusetts in the early seventies. For many years horse-drawn vehicles were then used in carrying children to and from school within a radius of seven miles. Parents gradually began to see the many advantages of the larger schools over the old "little red schoolhouse." With the motor bus children are now transported for 15 to 18 miles in an hour. School districts have increased in size, extending to 50, 75 or 106 square miles in area. With this development has come large modern school buildings, improved equipment and specially trained instructors equal to that of the best city schools. Motorized school buses make possible these large, modern rural "school plants." They tend to reduce the costs and to give children better opportunities for education. The consolidation movement has grown to such proportions that many normal schools and colleges are giving special courses preparing superintendents to manage fleets of motor buses transporting children to and from consolidated schools.

With the enormous amount of illiteracy in the United States, education is generally conceded to be one of the greatest of our economic problems. To show the extent of that problem as it appears in the light of educational methods and facilities of a bygone age, still largely in use in this country, Frank P. Graves, New York Commissioner of Education, sets forth some startling statistics. According to these, as yet about one-fourth of the total rural school enrollment and 45 per cent of the rural teaching corps are housed in one-room schools of the crudest sort. There are upwards of 200,000 of these one-room buildings in the United States, and a fairly large percentage The bids must be addressed to the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange, California, all material to be furnished and all work to be done in accordance with the plans and specifications adopted by said Board and on file with the County Clerk, in his office in the Court House in Santa Ana, in said county, each bidder must submit, with his proposal, a satisfactory check certified by a responsible bank and payable to the order of the County of Orange, or a bidder's bond, for an amount not less than five per cent. of the aggregate sum of the bid, as a guarantee that the bidder will enter into the proposed contract if the same is awarded to him, and in the event of failure to enter into such contract, the bidder's check or bond shall become the property of the County of Orange.
