EXEMPTION FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN Calling the attention of parents to the fact that school children may claim exemption from physical examination at school by a request from the parents, the public school protective league has ordered fifty thousand exemption cards to distribute to parents who want them. Many of these cards according to announcement by Mrs. Dora Stearns, president of the league, are being distributed through church and other organizations, but individuals who want them can secure them at the League headquarters, 714 Union Bank Bldg, Los Angeles. Mrs. Stearns, in announcing that these cards may be secured, stated yesterday that many people are unaware of the fact that under 1618a of the Political Code, a public school child may be exempt from physical examination, upon written request of parent or guardian. The new health manual issued in the state makes it necessary for parents who believe that the schools are for education and not for medication, to be vigilant. Just a few of the highlights in this 1924 manual are: Twice a year tests of muscular vigor and co-ordination, complete physical examination by a physician of each child who enters school for the first time; once a month weighing of each child; and once every three months the taking of height measurement; daily inspection by teacher for communicable disease; testing for mentality, posture, vision and hearing. With sanitation, cleanliness and recreation, the general demands of health can easily be taken care of, and the long and complicated list of examinations called for in the manual politicians have long suspected that the actual voting power of the Klan is not so great as its kleagues and other dignitaries have asserted. It will probably lead gentlemen seeking office to figure that the force which the Klan most opposes votes more solidly and that therefore it will be the part of political shrewdness to denounce the smaller of the two secret organizations. The rule laid down by Mr. Pickwick in the election at Etanswill, that when there are two crowds they should always shout with the largest still holds in politics. For this reason doubt attaches to the claim of lofty courage made in behalf of those who, seeking office, come out with attacks on the Klan. It would require more courage to explain exactly why the Klan has become a factor in American social life, and what is the reason for its existence. General Dawes, reprobating the organization in response to the challenge of Mr. Davis, did indeed stop in his oratory to explain to some extent the causes which led to its development. For this he is accused by the Democratic papers of having surrendered wholly to the Klan. On the contrary, he should be applauded for having endeavored to keep the scales to some extent level an for his effort to show that this organization sprang from a truly patriotic desire on the part of innumerable citizens to find a remedy for notorious evils and indeed for evils which threatened to become increasingly menacing. If every denunciation of the Klan were accompanied by an equally vigorous condemnation of the organizations and the abuses which it endeavors to combat, there would be more chance for an intelligent estimate of the American electorate. NOVEL LUNCH Eating a full course joying a musical program picture entertainment feet beneath the surface was the unique experience officials and professional engineers last Saturday. The affair, which it is the first of its kind to United States, completion of section eight new metropolitan area of the City of Los Angeles built by the Atkinson engineering firm affirmed General America, which sponsors function. Tables for the guest upon a special platform floor of the sewer pipe with a linen cloth and a large bouquet of flowers for the luncheon was special kitchen built side the sewer, which expressly wired for it. As the guests arrived at a stairway leading the great pipe section not yet been covered from this point they were down another step. Motion picture of the guests were seen nearby studio and later in the afternoon screen erected inside. Immediately after the S. Atkinson, Jr., of kinson-Spicer Compound section eight of the Toastmaster, introduced Los Angeles city and who praised the work. POLITICS AND THE KLAN The Democratic primary election in Texas has resulted in the nomination for Governor of the wife of James E. Ferguson, a former Governor who was removed from office some years ago as the result of impeachment. During the period of retirement Mr. Ferguson labored diligently building up a personal political following. Although his removal had been based upon no less than thirteen charges of serious malfeasance in office, including allegations not only of official misconduct but even of personal dishonesty. Mr. Ferguson succeeded in so re-establishing his political strength that except for a decision of the Texas courts declaring him ineligible for new political preferment, he would himself have been a candidate in the primaries. Shrewd politicians surrounding him hit upon the device of making his wife the candidate in his place, and having her pose as sacrificing the quiet retirement of the home for the turmoil of politics in order to defend the honor of her husband. American electorates are not free from emotionalism and it is probable that this plea added to the homely appeal of "Ma Ferguson" by which the candidate was spoken of throughout the campaign, was not without its effect. But the chief issue in the campaign was the Ku Klux Klan, says the Christian Science Monitor. Ferguson and his associates have always represented the wet element in Texas. The Klan threw its strength on the side of the drys. Beyond question a great number of normally dry voters were led by their prejudices against the activities of this secret order into voting against their convictions on the question of liquor, and into supporting a candidate who had already announced that if she is elected "Jim" Ferguson will be in fact Governor, STAND BY COOLIDGE AND DAWES The possibility of having the selection of a President go to the House of Representatives recalls the turmoil and dangers of the Hayes-Tilden contest, which threatened armed conflict, shook the government to its foundations and created intense bitterness which continued for a generation. It was when feeling was at the breaking point that President Grant, in his preparations to quell an uprising made his famous declaration that he was "determined to have peace even if he had to fight for it." The quarrel lasted for many months and but for some cool heads at Washington the consequences would have been grave. The unrest reached to all parts of the country producing business stagnation and setting back for a period the slow emergence of the nation from the conditions following the civil war. The possibilities that the voters of the United States may again fail to give a candidate a majority of the electoral vote, because of the "three cornered" contest, are being more and more recognized as the campaign proceeds. And as he explained, of that result California may easily be, as it was in 1916, the decisive states. Oregon was the decisive state in 1876. The most that the La Follette candidacy can achieve is to win a sufficient number of middle western and western states to prevent a majority for Coolidge in the electoral college. To make matters worse, as Rowell pointed out, the House of Representatives would be deadlocked, in which event the election would go to the Senate, which would choose between the two highest candidates for Vice President. The LaFollette or insurgent Senators would likely combine with the Democrats to make Charles W. Bryan president. If Brother Bryan from a truly patriotic desire on the part of innumerable citizens to find a remedy for notorious evils and indeed for evils which threatened to become increasingly menacing. If every denunciation of the organizations and the abuses which it endeavors to combat, there would be more chance for an intelligent estimate of the American electorate. Immediately after S. Atkinson Jr., of kinson-Spicer Compass section eight of the toastmaster, introduced Los Angeles city who praised the work firm in complete record breaking times of the entire series work were then exhalted. The pipe sections at the point where they given, have a height and a width of elev accommodate with largest automobiles side by side. REPUBLICAN FARMS If the farmers of any doubt as to that is really their first look back over the situation. While the Republicans never asserted and tend that all the lie or of other lines of healed by legislation stood ready to enact sound economically likely to promote agriculture or any other. When the Republic into power in 1921 ing called a special greet to enact and for the special benefactors, who were fering an unusual emergency tariff was meet the situation expected to help and out a considerable amount imports. During the war, the War finance co finance exports, and of the war, there wired that the wark be continued until normal conditions had But the Democrat did not take kindly May 10, 1920, Secretary Mellon issued a in which he announc request the War F his associates have always represented the wet element in Texas. The Klan threw its strength on the side of the drys. Beyond question a great number of normally dry voters were led by their prejudices against the activities of this secret order into voting against their convictions on the question of liquor, and into supporting a candidate who had already announced that if she is elected "Jim". Ferguson will be in fact Governor, simply in order to deal a stroke at the Ku Klux Klan. In all probability the Ferguson candidacy was materially assisted by the speech made by the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, Mr. John W. Davis, on the eve of the Texas election, in which he too denounced the Klan vigorously, although the platform which he bases is candidacy carefully omitted all reference to that organization after a prolonged struggle in the convention. It is undoubtedly one of the basic misfortunes that attend the activities of an organization of this sort in politics that its own characteristics, its virtues or vices, the charges against it, and the attempts of its members to defent it, appeal more directly to the minds of voters than do the more serious and fundamental issues of the campaign. The Texas voters reflected this attitude when, in a state which is overwhelmingly in favor of prohibition, they voted back into office the politicians who have at all times endeavored to nullify the prohobition law. In order to register a vote of disapproval of a secret society, they virtually tendered the Democratic nomination, which under ordinary conditions means election, to a man, who seven years ago was turned out of office in disgrace. The Texas result will probably increase the clamor against the Ku Klux among office seeking politicians. It seems to demonstrate what practical client numbers of interest states to prevent a majority for Coolidge in the electoral college. To make matters worse, as Rowell pointed out, the House of Representatives would be deadlocked, in which event the election would go to the Senate, which would choose between the two highest candidates for Vice President. The LaFollette or insurgent Senators would likely combine with the Democrats to make Charles W. Bryan president. If Brother Bryan should appoint as his Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan, the latter would stand next in line for the Presidency, should a vacancy occur. The Coolidge campaign resolves itself, therefore largely into a drive to prevent the election of the President from being thrown into Congress. The battleground lies west of the Mississippi and extends to the Pacific Coast. More and more California takes on an important pivotal position in the reckoning of things for its thirteen electoral votes may turn the situation one way or the other. In the mathematics of it, a comparatively small LaFollette minority in the electoral college may create an unparalleled situation in which Coolidge will be denied the majority the Constitution requires. "The only constructive prospect lies in the election of President Coolidge," said Rowell in his analysis. "The only possible result would be destructive and reactionary in effort, regardless of the motives of the voters who might, perhaps unwittingly have brought this about. Just now the world is in a cyclone. Our most urgent present task is to keep our government operating in safety. A vote for any other candidate than Coolidge is a vote to prevent an election, and to present an impossible dilemma, both of Constitutional procedure and of candidates." During the war, the War finance commission exports, and of the war, there was sire that the wark be continued until several conditions had But the Democrat did not take kindly May 10, 1920. Secretary Mellon issued an in which he announces request the War FF has suspended these advances in aid of pursuant to commissions made." That action, the Corporation went to act.

The affair, which it is claimed, was the first of its kind to be given in the United States, commemorated completion of section eight of the immense new metropolitan outfall sewer for the City of Los Angeles. This was built by the Atkinson-Spicer company engineering firm affiliated with the Associated General Contractors of America, which sponsored the novel function. Tables for the guests were erected upon a special platform built on the floor of the sewer piping and covered with a linen cloth and decorated with a large bouquet of roses. The food for the luncheon was prepared in a special kitchen built temporarily inside the sewer, which had also been expressly wired for the occasion. As the guests arrived they descended a stairway leading onto the top of the great pipe sections, which had not yet been covered with earth, and from this point they entered the sewer down another shorter flight of steps. Motion pictures of the arrival of the guests were taken, rushed to a nearby studio and developed and later in the afternoon shown on a screen erected inside the sewer. Immediately after the luncheon Lynn S. Atkinson, Jr., of the firm of Askinson-Spicer Company, which built section eight of the sewer, acting as toastmaster, introduced a number of Los Angeles city and state officials who praised the work of the construc- enlarged the powers and increased the enacted Rural Credits legislation, enacted the Federal Warehouse Act, the Co-operative Marketing Association Act, the Packers and Stockyard's Act the Grain Futures act, the Grain Standards Act, and laws for the protection of the dairy industry against unfair competition. When the Republican Congress took up the consideration a general tariff law, representatives of agricultural organizations were given extended hearings and practically everything they asked for was written into the law. All agricultural machinery and implements, fertilizers, binding twine, barbed wire, harness, saddles, lumber, shingles, insect poisons and other articles largely purchased by farmers, were put on the free list and increased protective duties were placed on butter, eggs, wheat, meats, corn vegetables peanuts, fruits, nuts etc which the farmer produces. Agricultural organizations joined in a signed statement that from the standpoint of the farmer this was the best tariff law ever enacted. A pessimist is one who thinks a little touch of grafting makes the whole world "skin."

REPUBLICAN FARM LEGISLATION If the farmers of the country are in any doubt as to the political party that is really their friend, they should look back over the record of legislation. While the Republican party has never asserted and does not now contend that all the ills of agriculture, or of other lines of enterprise can be healed by legislation, that party has stood ready to enact any laws not sound economically and that seem likely to promote the welfare of agriculture or any other industry. When the Republican party came into power in 1921 President Harding called a special session of Congress to enact an emergency tariff for the special benefit of agricultural producers, who were at that time suffering an unusual depression. The emergency tariff was not expected to meet the situation entirely, but it was expected to help and it did. It shut out a considerable amount of agricultural imports. During the war, Congress created the War finance corporation to help finance exports, and, after the close of the war, there was widespread desire that the wark of the Corporation be continued until something like normal conditions had been restored. But the Democratic Administration did not take kindly to this idea. On May 10, 1920, Secretary of the Treasury Mellon issued a formal statement in which he announced that "At My request the War Finance Corporation Anaheim Union Water Company, location of principal place of business, 303 East Center Street, Anaheim, California. Notice is hereby given that at a meeting of the Board of Directors, held on the 3rd day of September, 1924, assessment No. 63 of $5 per share was levied on the capital stock of the corporation payable at once to the Secretary of the company at Anaheim, Orange County, California.
