EDITORIAL NOTES POPULATION AND POLITICS WHAT an interesting train of thought is conjured up when one pauses for a moment and considers the wonderful strides in population this state is making! Of course, we do not care to be so ungenerous as to say that most of this phenomenal increase is to be found right here about us in Southern California, but such, nevertheless, is the fact. What power will this state wield politically at Washington after the next federal reapportionment bill which comes in 1931, when this state will have, so it is now estimated, 7,000,000 souls within its borders. Following the census in 1930, will come the new reapportionment bill to be passed by Congress, after which the state legislature will have to apportion the districts, which will bring us probably to 1934 before we have our increased delegation. That is some years ahead, yet the subject is one filled with interest to voters. California has at present a delegation of eleven members in the lower house, while Illinois has, we believe, twenty-four. When the new reapportionment bill is adopted, it is estimated California will have as much population as this populous eastern state. No one can tell what our delegation will number in that year, for no one knows what the ratio will be, and there are other things which will have to be considered. But if we shall have approximately as many members as Illinois, Orange county will come near having enough population to form one congressional district. We shall be entitled to two state senatorial districts and four assembly districts. That will be going some. California now has twenty-six presidential electors; it may then have more than fifty. These figures are off some years in the future, but with the state doubling its population in this decade, it sets a man's brain whirling to keep up with the procession. When one retires to bed at night, after saying his prayers, he has little贝 of the many things that might happen in Orange county before breakfast the following morning. BURT AND THE STEAKS BURTON SMITH, state news editor of the Los Angeles Times, was in attendance at the Orange Show dinner at the Elks Club the other evening and, judging by the manner in which he made away with the barbecued steaks and other vituals, must have been following Dr. Lovell's advice and have been on a fast BURTON SMITH, state news editor of the Los Angeles Times, was in attendance at the Orange Show dinner at the Elks Club the other evening and, judging by the manner in which he made away with the barbecued steaks and other vituals, must have been following Dr. Lovell's advice and have been on a fast for several days, preparing for the feast. Burt's capacity was certainly a feature of the evening. He has also come to be a radio celebrity, and travels in the class with Uncles John and Remus, not to mentoin J. Allison Phelps and Uncle Josh. Burt is one of the most brilliant young and so forth, and so forth, and so forth. REFORMING OUR LAWS Governor Richardson has appointed a code commission which will recommend to the legislature convening in January necessary reforms in civil and criminal procedure in the courts of the state. Crime is increasing in the land to such an alarming extent that it has become necessary for organized society to devise ways and means for effectually dealing with organized criminals. All of the trouble centers about the fact that punishment for crime is neither swift nor sure. Organized crime has its bondsmen everywhere, ready at a moment's notice to ball offenders out of jail and eminent lawyers are retained to defend them when haled into court. The solution of the problem, and there is only one solution, is that punishment must be swift and sure. The criminal practice of our courts has been said by one authority to be entirely obsolete, and too many safeguards are placed about criminals, who feel in many cases that they are being persecuted instead of prosecuted. One of the practices making for this state of things is the imposing of the ridiculous, indeterminate manner of sentencing felons to prison. Thus a man convicted of crime is sent up for from one to more years and, at the expiration of his first year behind the bars, he is permitted under the law to go before the prison board and ask for parole. It would seem that a judge trying a case, who hears the testimony, knows the law and is familiar with the circumstances, is better qualified to render judgment on the ground than is a prison board many miles away. We have seen men sent to state prison for crimes against women with a sentence of from one to fifty years, and yet at the expiration of a single year they have the effrontery to go before the prison board and ask for parole. That the prison board in these cases uniformly denies these applications does not seem to be sufficient.

When Judge Bledsoe was superior judge of San Bernardino county, he sent a ruffian up for 35 years. This fiend clubbed a man into insensibility on a railroad train, robbed him, with the help of a confederate, and threw him from a rapidly moving train. More dead than alive, this unfortunate man was picked up by a passing metrorail and carried many miles into town. The fiend was arrested at the Colorado river, as he was about to get into an adjoining state. He is still in prison, where he ought to be. More of this NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE WHEREAS, J. W.

W. Hevener and Ora Hevener, for the sums of $9000.00 and $9000.00 respectively, payable on demand and six months after date thereof respectively, to the order of The California National Bank of Long Beach, California, each note bearing interest from date thereof until paid, at the rate of eight per cent per annum, payable quarterly or compounded; and WHEREAS, default has been made in the payment of said promissory notes, and a breach has been made in the obligation for which said Deed of Trust is a security in this, that the principal sum of said note due six months after date, to-wit: $9000.00, which became due on October 14th, 1925, was not then paid; (except the sum of $2973.12) that the total unpaid balance of both of said notes to-wit: $15,026.88, and interest thereon from October 14, 1925, and also sums advanced under the provisions of said Deed of Trust, are owing and unpaid; and WHEREAS, said Deed of Trust provides that if default be made in the payment of any of the sums of principal and interest when due, the owner and holder of said notes may declare the whole of the principal and interest thereof immediately due and payable and require the said Trustee to sell the property thereby granted; and WHEREAS, the said CALI- by the trial judge, with no it's, and's nor but's about it. When Judge Bledsoe was superior judge of San Bernardino county, he sent a ruffian up for 35 years. This fiend clubbed a man into insensibility on a railroad train, robbed him, with the help of a confederate, and threw him from a rapidly moving train. More dead than alive, this unfortunate man was picked up by a passing metrorail and carried many rules into town. The fiend was arrested at the Colorado river, as he was about to get into an adjoining state. He is still in prison, where he ought to be. More of this law would seem to be good for organized society. We have too many paroles and too many pardons. Governor Richardson has done a notable service to organized society in the appointment of the code commission, and has advised its members that a reform in our civil and criminal procedure is a crying need for the preservation of the rigors of the people. We have too many crimes, too many criminals. It will be necessary to elect a state legislature which will enact laws carrying out the governor's ideas, and we are certain that Assemblyman Hartranft stands four-square on this reform. Mr. Hartranft stands for the stars and stripes forever, and is an able and indefatigable champion of the rights of organized society. We are told that our method of prosecuting criminals is 500 years old and dates from a time when men were persecuted instead of prosecuted, and civilized society buttressed them about with safeguards to free them from persecution. Organized crime is simply taking advantage of our obsolete laws, and it is high time they were wholly changed. The governor is entitled to the commendation of the people. It is now up to the voters to elect a legislature which will see the necessity for reforming this obsolete manner in dealing with criminals. In colonial times men charged with misdemeanor were carried off to distant townships for trial, and in many cases were transported to another state. This was persecution, and was one of the causes which led to the Revolution. We are not persecuting criminals now, but in many cases we are not even prosecuting them. It is time we had a change. THOSE PUBLICITY HOUNDS Out of leash in many quarters of the state, publicity hounds are upon us, and mails are weighted down with adulation for the good qualities of this or that candidate for office. Certainly, its like was never seen by the oldest inhabitant. If these enterprising gentlemen will shear us off the list, they will render a great favor, save stamps and a quantity of paper that might be devoted to better uses. These things all cost money. They come thick and fast as lightning from a mountain cloud. If they do not cease, we shall beat it to the hills. We know all about the good qualities of all of these good men, but we don't care to have this publicity as a steady diet. William R. Jewell, formerly a well- William R. Jewell, formerly a well-known oil man in this region, but who for the past two years has been a driller in the Loblitz oil fields in Peru, South America, writes to friends here that he will shortly leave for London to settle up the estate of his wife, who died some week ago, only two weeks after joining her husband in Peru. After completing his business in London, Mr. Jewell will go to the island of Borneo, where a good position awaits him in the oil business.
