A PAPER MAJORITY, AND IT HAS GONE The Philadelphia Public Ledger pays its respects to the Brookharts and others who pose as Republicans but vote constantly to embarrass the party which elected them and cast their lot with Democrats and renegades. It comments: "In Congress the Republicans have had a 'paper majority.' That has gone A group of so-called Republicans, elected as such, using that party as a postoffice address and a roof-tree in time of storm, refuse to abide by the will of the party majority. They are party deserters—party traitors. They hate the administration and all its ways and works, and have joined its natural enemies. "The renegade-radical alliance with the Democrats has gone so far that it has brought Republican responsibility in this Congress to an end. Democrats, renegades and radicals are a majority. The Republicans are a minority. They are unable to stop Congress from passing out appropriations with a lavish hand. This new coalition majority deals in legislative goods for the trade in minority votes. Not economy, but more and bigger expenditures, is its motto. "The root of the trouble goes back to 1910, to the revolt against the House rules, to the breakdown in party loyalty and responsibility and the resulting failure of party leadership. Capitol hill swarms with gentry wiser than the collective wisdom of their party or the nation. Today this damn a Republican program, but the evil of its example will live after it to curse the Democrats who now hope to profit by it. They are sowing the winds, and they and their little renegade and radical playmates must assume the responsibility and reap the against condemnation; built on existing grades rather than economical grades, to save construction money. Building the finest and highest type of road engineering science understands, is one of the many reasons why good roads enthusiasts with vision are working for the day when real national highways begin to produce good roads everywhere. WHAT! WHEELER Of all the inquisitors in the Washington investigations, the most arrogant, insinuating and indiscriminate has been Senator B. K. Wheeler, of Montana. Presuming to the utmost on popular approval of these investigations, on the desire of the righteous everywhere to see actual guilt exposed and the guilty punished, Senator Wheeler has used his position as "prosecutor" of the committee to discredit honorable men along with those whose conduct had merited exposure and condemnation. Taking shelter behind the privileges and immunities granted a member of the Senate, this man Wheeler has thrown out damnable insinuations against Secretary Mellon, Secretary Weeks and Assistant Secretary Roosevelt. He has attempted to discredit the dollar-a-year men who gave tremendous service in the war. He has not hesitated to imply dishonor to any man who has been successful in accumulating wealth. Many of these insinuations have been uttered or implied on the most flimsy presumptions or the most remote deductions. The effrontery of the senator has amazed those familiar with his record. He had been thoroughly condemned by the council of defense in his own state for unpatriotic conduct in the office of district attorney. The investiture has the "inside track Corporation Department missioner added. Co-phase of the matter, "Anybody who clams any more from this anyone else and gets obtaining money without tenses.

S. According to "Mexico," published at Dallas, Tex., the Meridian Highway, which is routed from Winnipeg to Mexico City, is the only international highway crossing the United States. "Mexico" makes out a powerful case for the early improvement and completion of the highway. It says that no stop which can be taken will have such a far-reaching effect on the commerce of the two countries. Dallas especially will be a great beneficiary, as it is the embarking place for Mexico City, via the automobile. Mexico was fourth in the list of foreign nations buying passenger cars in the United States last year. She took 7,559 passenger cars from us as against 7,582 taken from the United Kingdom. The only other countries that exceeded Mexico in imports of passenger cars from the United States in 1923 were Canada and Australia. The Medidian Highway is traversible from Dallas to Monterey, Mexico, at the present time. South of Monterey it is merely the rehabilitation of the old Spanish trail, over which, as early as 1600, thousands of soldiers, supply and pack trains, ox teams, mule teams, and ore trains passed from northern Mexico to Mexico City. President Obregon, a forward-looking statesman, favors the project and urges his people to cooperate in the work for peace, prosperity, and continued good-will between the two Republics. He fully realizes that "he who does the most for highway building is doing the most for the advancement of the religious, educational, and material activities of his country." LOOK AHEAD "In what way can the National Government build a better road than mendous service in the war. He has not hesitated to imply dishonor to any man who has been successful in accumulating wealth. Many of these insinuations have been uttered or implied on the most filmsy presumptions or the most remote deductions. The effrontery of the senator has amazed those familiar with his record. He had been thoroughly condemned by the council of defense in his own state for unpatriotic conduct in the office of district attorney. The investigation, which was directed by the governor of the state, resulted in a unanimous verdict against him for his relations with the I. W. W. in the war. But now this man from Montana, who posed before the country as an enemy of corruption, and tried by discriminate insinuation and direct attack to convey to the country the impression that every department o f the government was corrupt, that he was the cery Nemesis of evil in official life —this self-constituted hero, who has provided his own limelight, is indicted by a federal grand jury in his own state for participation in shady oil deals. Oil! Of all things messy, smeary oil, which, far in the progress of the investigation, he has handled with a long-handled brush while he smeared it on the corrupt tand incorruptible alike! If Senator Wheeler is not given his fill of his own medicine, then senatorial courtesy has no limit. UNDESIRABLES LISTED Individuals and companies operating under the names of organization specialists and organization experts, were listed this week among the undersragles in the commercial life of California, when Edwin M. Daughtrey, State Corporation Commissioner, broadcasted a warning to persons seeking to finance propositions and who may become victims of this class of financial tadventures. Commissioner Daugherty, added that information had also been received by the Corporation Department that the so-called specialists represent they have a pull with the department. He asked that all such representations be communicated to the department for appropriate action. "The attention of the Corporation Department has been called to numerous so-called organization specialists who are biking the public and who are preying upon persons not familiar with accepted methods of incorporating companies or promoting POMEGRA Millard Sharp, one man and originator varieties of plums, lime pomegranates grow near Vacaville. This from various corners of the department at Sharp hopes to find perior variety for fruits. Pomegranates have the doubtful column commercial crop. Erred more in the name with a historical fruit—and with good pomegranates succeed cult an art as is the pulation of Italian an overripe peach background. Where purple stains on clothes, the results scientific method or to forget the agreed crisp, little, red see Mr. Sharp stated method of crushing urges his people to cooperate in the work for peace, prosperity, and continued good-will between the two Republics. He fully realizes that "he who does the most for highway building is doing the most for the advancement of the religious, educational, and material activities of his country." LOOK AHEAD "In what way can the National Government build a better road than a State?" a correspondent asks. It can't. But it does! It can build no better road than any other central authority, but it does build better roads as it builds better buildings and better public works, because the standards of a National Government are usually higher and less warped by consideration of immediate expense than are those of smaller appropriating bodies. The United States Government has for many years followed the invariable policy of building anything to last for a long period of time. Its public buildings are not constructed to be replaced in ten or twenty years, but built to withstand the ravages of time for many hundreds of years. When the Panama Canal was constructed money was not stinted; the canal was to be for all time, and so, built as well as engineering skill could build it. No half-hearted effort was made in the war. The best we had of money and brains and effort went into it. When the United States Government begins the building and maintenance of national highways, it will build in the same way—with due regard to the future. Too many roads are built today only for the immediate present; built too light, so that traffic soon cuts them to pieces; built too crooked, so that they waste time while pandering to local prejudices that information had also been received by the Corporation Department that the so-called specialists represent they have a pull with the department. He asked that all such representations be communicated to the department, for appropriate action. "The attention of the Corporation Department has been called to numerous so-called organization specialists who are biking the public and who are preying upon persons not familiar with accepted methods of incorporating companies or promoting enterprises," the Commissioner said in his warning. "Information gathered by the department show that none of them have the legal training and understanding to qualify for such work. The method of these men are virtually the same. They get well meaning persons into their offices who have enterprises they wish to promote. Companies are organized in a manner that a qualified attorney could do better and probably at much less expense. Generally, a large initial expense is paid by the applicant for service. Additional fees are collected. Some of these are not required by law. The applicant is induced to sign a contract which has been drawn skillfully, is ironclad and which the courts cannot set aside. When the transactions reach the stock selling stage the applicant is turned over to another man. All the latter does is to recommend salesmen, and to supply a list of prospective purchasers, probably taken from the city directory. The applicant later discovers he has been bilked and that the specialist has been unable to deliver on representations that he would finance a concern that would go over big. These representations are verbal and it is a case of one man's word against another if the matter comes to an issue." Many of these "specialists" say they have the "inside track" with the State Corporation Department, the Commissioner added. Commenting on this phase of the matter, he said: "Anybody who claims he can get any more from this department than anyone else and gets paid for it, is obtaining money under false pretenses. Representations that money is needed to 'grease the wheels,' for 'quick action' or for any other exceptional consideration where the department is concerned should be called to the attention of the department by the persons solicited." MUST RAISE MORE MONEY Now that the bonus has been passed the thing that is worrying a great number of representatives and senators is how the money is going to be raised to pay for the bonus. Financial experts have estimated that the cost to the people of the country will be between $2,280,758,542 and $4,500,000,000. This money must come from the pockets of the tax payers. There is no provision in the pending tax bill for the money which to pay the bonus, and even the wisest politicians are unable to explain how any real tax reduction measure can be passed in view of the recent action of congress. President Coolidge has pointed out and insisted repeatedly that the taxes of the people must be reduced. The pending tax measure certainly will not provide enough revenue to allow the government to pay the bonus and at the same time produce enough money to pay its debts. It is not probable that the 25 per cent reduction of taxes for 1923 that President Coolidge asked for can now be granted, but Coolidge will undoubtedly at the next session of congress demand a scientific revision of the tax program. Those MARLON STAR.-The trouble with the Mellon tax-reduction plan was that it was too good to meet the approval of a small calibre Congress.

The pending tax measure certainly will not provide enough revenue to allow the government to pay the bonus and at the same time produce enough money to pay its debts. It is not probable that the 25 per cent reduction of taxes for 1923 that President Coolidge asked for can now be granted, but Coolidge will undoubtedly at the next session of congress demand a scientific revision of the tax program. Those responsible for the framing of the bonus bill did not arrange it so that the soldiers who expected immediate cash payments will get their money now, they will be disappointed, for the payments will not be made, even if some way is ultimately found to meet them, until March 1, 1925. The adjusted service certificates also will not be available until 1925. It is estimated that a force of 4,152 clerks will be required to handle the issuance of the certificates. This means just that many more employees on the government payroll at the expense of the taxpayer. The cost of this clerk hire is estimated at $3,000,000. Unless some financial wizard can be found in congress the money necessary to pay the several billions of dollars needed to provide for the bonus, the money will have to be raised by additional taxes, which will be levied upon the people. POMEGRANATES Millard Sharp, orchardist, nurseryman and originator of a number of varieties of plums, has 35 varieties of pomegranates growing on his farm near Vacaville. These bushes came from various corners o f the world via the department of agriculture, and Mr. Sharp hopes to find or develop a superior variety for California conditions. Pomegranates have always been in the doubtful column as a profitable commercial crop. They are considered more in the nature of a curiosity with a historical past than a dicidious fruit—and with good reason. Eating pomegranates successfully is as difficult an art as is the graceful manipulation of Italian spaghetti and puts an overripe peach completely in the background. When one notices the purple stains on his fingers and clothes, the results of a hasty and unscientific method of attack, he is apt to forget the agreeable flavor of the crisp, little, red seeds. Mr. Sharp stated that a practical method of crushing the whole fruit particularly described as consisting of the furnishing and the installment of a complete Hydro-Pneumatic Pressure System, all as specifically so described in said specifications, above referred to. Forms of proposal, contract and bonds, and copies of the specifications will be furnished upon application to the County Clerk, Court House, Santa Ana, California, or the Engineer, L. Wayne McCollum, Wickersheim Building, Fullerton, California. All bids must be filed with said County Clerk at or before 11 A. M. June 17th, 1924, at the Court House Santa Ana, California, on forms furnished by said County. Each bid must be accompanied by a check certified by a responsible bank, or a satisfactory bond, payable to the Order of the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange for not less than 5% of the aggregate sum of the bid, as a guarantee that the bidder will enter into the proposed contract, if awarded to him. The right is reserved to reject any and all bids. The successful bidder shall, within ten days after the award, enter into a written contract with said County of Orange in accordance with the draft of contract furnished by the said County for furnishing said water works materials, and deliver to the County Clerk of said County a bond in an amount not less than 50% of the aggregate of the proposal conditioned for the faithful performance of the contract, and shall furnish a bond in like amount for the security of material men and laborers, as required by law, and shall execute by the Contractor and a responsible surety company, or by two or more sufficient sureties approved by said Board of Supervisors.

A going concern with a record of having paid 32% in LUXURY OR NECESSITY A ten per cent radio tax has been proposed on the ground that the radio is a luxury and in the readjustment of tax schedules the present congress has determined to make the luxuries continue to carry the burden of taxation. A general downward revision of taxes on the so-called necessities of life is the plan they hope to work out. This is as it should be but the question may be asked where, nowadays, is the line between luxuries and necessities? The things that a score of years ago were considered luxuries have, through our changed methods of living, become the actual necessities of today. The radio receiving set, although of comparatively recent origin is already becoming a necessity in many homes and while possibly the bulk of these outfits already installed may be classed as luxuries there is no ques- Announcing an opportunity to invest in the profitable business of AUTOMOBILE FINANCING A going concern with a record of having paid 32% in cash dividends the past three years.
