CALIFORNIA SHOWS METTLE IN FIRE EMERGENCY After visiting 15 of the National Forests of California and getting in touch personally with the fire situation as closely as possible, I am satisfied that this summer's emergency has, in the main, been well met, says Col. W. B. Greeley, Chief, U. S. Forest Service. Every possible step to settlement the protection forces on the National Forests and control the preventable hazards has been taken. Over 140 emergency guards and seasoned rangers from other Districts have been added to the regular organization of the Forest Service in this state. The peak of the fire season, it is believed has been reached; but the forests and fields of California will not be safe from the fire hazard until after the first good soaking rains. In a year when the forest and brush areas were so inflammable, it was almost inevitable that many fires should occur and that the losses should be greater than usual. Thus far there have been over 1700 fires in the National Forests and more than 100 serious conflagrations have been fought and controlled. But the government land burned to date has been less than one and seven tenths per cent of the National Forest area in California. The people of practically the entire state have responded to the critical conditions threatening their natural resources in a splendid spirit and have given the finest co-operation to the public agencies charges with the work. The whole hearted support and observance of National orest closure regulations has been most gratifying. A large number of public spirited associations and industrial organizations presentatives of the people, to act on these appointments. According to Judge Coburn of Orange, the Committee of Fifty is now awaiting further instructions from the Board of Supervisors who suggested the, Committee of Fifty was appointed and authorized to act. Judge Coburn served for five months as president of the Committee of 50 and during that time his conferred with people from all sections of Orange county. The judge stated that he finds an increasingly keen interest in the Harbor project in all parts of the Splendid County of Orange and the desire of the people generally is for a complete and comprehensive program of work of development. It is in an effort to outline a "rounded out" plan for betterment that the Committee of Fifty was suggested and the findings that are contained in their report will be exceedingly useful to future Harbor Commissions. Recently, on instructions from the Executive Committee of the Committee of Fifty the Secretary has been building up a fund of data on various harbors established throughout the world. All of this material will be turned over to the new Harbor Commission for its use, together with a lot of reports and other works on harbor engineering and legislation. The early improvement of Orange County Harbor and the saving to the people of the million dollars now invested can be secured with the early appointment of the new commission for Orange County Harbor. BRITISH TAR JUMPS TO AMERICAN FLAG A number of facts of considerable The people of practically the entire state have responded to the critical conditions threatening their natural resources in a splendid spirit and have given the finest co-operation to the public agencies charges with the work. The whole hearted support and observance of National oreat closure regulations has been most gratifying. A large number of public spirited associations and industrial organizations in both northern and southern California have placed their resources at the command of the Forest Service, and their assistance has been of the utmost importance in carrying the state through the emergency without overwhelming losses. California this year that has never been equaled. This summer's experience has shown the critical need for state legislation that will cut down the hazards to which our forests and watersheds are subject every recurring dry season. More forest fires are started by smokers than by any other human agency. The tossing of burning cigarettes or matches from automobiles should be stopped by law. So should the leaving of fire breeding slash along railroad rights of way and on logging operations. The State Board of Forestry has initiated a splendid program along these lines, which merits the hearty support of every citizen of California. The Governor's action in allocating $23,000 of additional funds for fire control purposes to the state board of forestry was most timely. I understand this addition to the budgeted amount for fire protection gives the Board the largest sum of money it has ever had for this purpose in any one year. Fifteen years of protection from fire have clothed hundreds of thousands of acres of old outings, placer diggings, and brush fields in California with young forest. It is one of the most valuable resources of the state. This future timber wealth, now coming into being in the lower Siemas and over enormous areas in the northern counties, means more to the permanent prosperity and industrial development of California than the present stands of merchandable timber. The thickets of young trees do add to the difficulty of stopping forest fires, but to kill them out under the theory of "light burning" would be to deliberately destroy the natural wealth of the state. This is not forest protection, it is gradual but inevitable harbor engineering and legislation. The early improvement of Orange County Harbor and the saving to the people of the million dollars now invested can be secured with the early appointment of the new commission for Orange County Harbor. BRITISH TAR JUMPS TO AMERICAN FLAG A number of facts of considerable importance are developed as a result of a complaint by British shipping interests to the effect that seamen on British merchant ships are deserting in the United States and finding employment on ships under the American flag. A paper devoted to shipping, 'Fairplay' utters the protest in the following language. "All shipowners in Europe whose vessels have traded with America have, since the Armistice, suffered in consequence of the desertions which have taken place in the United States, often, it is believed, with the connivence, if not instigation, of the authorities there. Indeed but for those deserctions, it would have been impossible for the Shipping Board to have manned its fleet efficiently. If it be true, as charged that British seamen are deserting to seek employment on American ships, this demonstrates that American shipping pays better wages and provides more attractive working conditions. It demonstrates the American scale of wages is not only higher in dollars but higher in net returns to the seaman when all his expenses have been deducted. Thus from a British source we have practical confirmation of the assertion that it costs more to operate ships under the American flag and the American standard of living and working conditions. Thus is confirmed the contention of ship owners that some sort of advantage should be provided as a means of counterbalancing this lower cost of operating British ships. But that part of the British complaint which charges that desertions from British ships is with the connivence of authorities in America is vigorously denied by the United States Shipping Board. Of course private owners and operators of American ships may connive at the desertions. They may be said to connive to the extent of offering higher wages. It may be doubted, however, that they offer higher wages to any employee..." NEW HARBOR COMMITTEE Five citizens are to be appointed by the Board of Supervisors of Orange County on the new Orange County Harbor Commission. The appointment of these Commissioners may be announced any day. The completion of the important work of the Committee of Fifty and the filing of their report leaves the matter up to the Board of supervisors, the duly elected repBut that part of the British complaint which charges that desertions from British ships is with the connivance of authorities in America is vigorously denied by the United States Shipping Board. Of course private owners and operators of American ships may connive at the desertions. They may be said to connive to the extent of offering higher wages. It may be doubted, however, that they offer higher wages to any employee of a British vessel knowing that he is so employed and for the purpose of inducing him to desert. The more likely fact is that the British seamen desert because he knows that the wage scale is higher on American ships and after he deserts he seeks employment on a ship under the American flag. That the complaint made by the English periodical cannot be true so far as Shipping Board vessels are concerned is evident from the statement of Chairman T. V. O'Connor who asserts that for a long time it has been the rule of the board to employ chiefly American citizens and this policy has been pursued until 100 per cent Americanization has been attained. Not only that, but the character of American seamen has been steadily improving. Recent comparison of actual wage costs on American and foreign ships shows that the wage cost of manning an 8,800 dead weight ton coal burning American steamship is nearly twice that of a British ship of similar type. Taking this type ship as a basis, in July, 1924, the British vessel employed a crew of 39 at a monthly wage cost of $1783. The American vessel carried a crew of 41 at a cost of $3466. The Japanese ship mustered a crew of 61 at a cost of $1866. The Swedish ship paid $1821 to its crew of 40, and the Norwegian ship carried 42 on its payroll at a cost of $1100. There are our chief competitors in the ocean carrying trade. Of these, Great Britain is the most formidable. NO ENTHUSIASM The third party socialist candidate did not receive the welcome his supporters expected when he made his initial speech of the campaign in New York. It was expected and predicted by some of his ardent socialists supporters that a riot would ensue as a result of an intense desire to hear the senator deliver this premature address and that great overflow crowds would surround the building. According to advice from New York only a portion of those present at the meeting were financial contributors to the third party strongbox. LaFollette's speech was far from being the dramatic effort that his followers had expected. He did not take the expected attack at the tariff that was anticipated; he did not rap it because he realized that agricultural implements were on the free list, while agricultural products were protected by the tariff, a tariff that has added very materially in helping the farmer. The farmers remember that he voted against the bill that put agricultural implements on the free list. It was apparent that LaFollette realized that his tariff views did not meet those of the farmer, the diary product men or the cattle men of the country. These producers of food staff have not been and will not be fooled by any low tariff bunkum by LaFollette or anyone else. He also realized that labor is not going to support any candidate who stands for low tariff, which would mean, as it has in the past, breadlines, soup kitchens, little if any work low wages—when there should happen to act on behalf of Orlando now from the suggested appointment five months after the interest all points of orange and generously is comprehensive equipment.

GRADE SEPARATIONS During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1924, the Transportation Division of the Engineering Department of the Railroad Commission directed the separation of the grades of important highways crossing the tracks of steam railroads or electric railways in California. Most of these grade separations grew out of investigations conducted by the Transportation Division or were the result of applications for the construction of new grade crossings.

We are a Christian nation, in God loving people and such we will remain. Thousands who have not voted for years this fall will vote for Coolidge because he stands oer the Constitution of the United States and the protection it gives to all of the people. He stands for a tariff that means plenty of work and high wages. The voters will not be fooled by the 'Reds,' the socialists and others. Calvin Coolidge has more followers today than any other man in the United States of America. He is our greatest leader.
