Organize to Assist Legislative Measure Under the direction of D. Eyman Huff, prominent orange grower of El Modena, an effort will be made to organize a county-wide committee to assist the passage of an initiative measure to invalidate reapportionment of the legislative representation of the state according to the plans of the California Farm Bureau Federation. A. M. Stanley, secretary-manager of the Orange County Farm Bureau, has been appointed secretary of the new committee, which will correlate its work with that of a state-wide committee for the same purpose. The farm bureau membership has been on record for several years in favor of such a measure, feeling that if our state is to be wisely governed it must be free from the control of any group, or the menace of future control by any group, so that every legislative proposal may stand on its own merits if it is for the best interest of the state. After considerable study it has been decided that the soundest plan would be to follow, as nearly as possible, the plan used by the United States for the election of senators and congressmen, and a plan has been drafted and approved along the lines of the federal plan. This would mean that the representation in the Assembly would be on a population basis and in the Senate the 40 senators would be divided between the 58 counties so that no county had more than one senator and no senatorial district of the more thinly populated counties would contain more than three counties. Under this plan of representation the United States has developed to a place as leader of the nations of the world, and the farmers of California think that we must have the best and wisest plan applied to our affairs. By this plan the control of the Assembly will rest in the larger cities and the control of the Senate will be in the 53 rural counties. With this balancing of power the state will be assured of less politics and more statesmanship. The committee will also work in the interest of the dairy industry relative Telephone Company Makes Statement Important Announcement by Manager E. A.

Interest at the rate of 6 per cent. amounting to $1.60 a share, will be allowed on installment payments from their due date to April 1, 1927, and will be credited on the final payment, reducing it to $38.40.

BUTTR Resists Fire WALLBOAR SOLD BY LEADING L ANAHEIM GAZETTE Industrial Power’s Wonderful Growth Great Record of Achievement by Edison Company It was in 1911 that the sales of electricity for power on the Southern California Edison Company's system first exceeded its sales of electricity for lighting. This, I believe, was an epoch in the extensive agricultural development of Southern California. "Edison electric motors will reclaim the desert!" I quote from one of our company's display advertisements in a rural newspaper in the year 1912. Lateral irrigation had for all practical purposes reached its limits many years before. The oil or distillate engine which required the labor and attention of an engineer was too expensive for pumping water for ordinary crops, but the electric wires of our company were stretching out over what was then the desert and the sage brush. Has the prophecy of that old Edison advertisement proved true? Let us see. By 1915 there was under electric irrigation in what was then the Edison territory 400,000 acres of semi-arid land snatched almost entirely from the waste. Today there are 1,100,000 acres of productive land irrigated by pumps driven by Edison generated electricity. The value of the farm products in Edison territory in 1925 was $341,000,000, compared with less than $150,000,000 in 1915. We thus see that the increase in value of farm products in these 10 years has been $200,000,000. Glancing over our operating reports for the month of April, I find receipts from agricultural irrigation are somewhat lower than last year. The great rainfall during April and through part of this month saved the farming communities on their electric bills for irrigation and has consequently decreased the farmers' cost of production. In this, and everything which goes to prosper and encourage our rural communities, we feel the most unselfish gratification, for it seems more widespread agricultural development; more people go back to the land, and more another and most important effect upon our future. It is yet a little too soon to produce actual proof as a result of scientific testing, but it is generally believed that in many districts the recession of the water levels has been materially checked. The dry season of 1924, the driest in 40 years of which the Southwest has any widespread or comprehensive records, had depleted the water levels, making it necessary in some sections to lift surface water higher by pumping for irrigation purposes. If, as we hope, the precipitation of the season has partly restored the old level, there is every reason to believe that the ensuing few years will know even greater extensive agricultural development and production than our meters record in the comparison of 1925 as against 1915. During the four great tourists’ months—January, February, March and April—our sales of electricity for light show an increase of 19 per cent. This June 14, June 8, August 1926. A necessary small margin of safety. The net earnings on the stock of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company for 1925 were $11.75 per share. The stock will sell ex-rights on June 8. The rights on a when, as, and if issued, basis, are selling for approximately $6 per right on the New York curb market. The rights will expire August 2, 1926. President W. S. Gifford in his announcement says: "The purpose of this new issue is to provide the Bell system with funds for new construction needed to care for additional business resulting from constantly greater use of telephone service." Glancing over our operating reports for the month of April, I find receipts from agricultural irrigation are somewhat lower than last year. The great rainfall during April and through part of this month saved the farming communities on their electric bills for irrigation and has consequently decreased the farmers' cost of production. In this, and everything which goes to prosper and encourage our rural communities, we feel the most unselfish gratification, for it seems more widespread agricultural development; more people going back to the land, and more absolute creation of intrinsic wealth. The abundant rains have probably had any widespread or comprehensive records, had depleted the water levels, making it necessary in some sections to lift surface water higher by pumping for irrigation purposes. If, as we hope, the precipitation of the season has partly restored the old level, there is every reason to believe that the ensuing few years will know even greater extensive agricultural development and production than our meters record in the comparison of 1925 as against 1915. During the four great tourists' months—January, February, March and April—our sales of electricity for light show an increase of 19 per cent. This can readily be taken to indicate that in Los Angeles and in all of the city's suburbs, hotels, apartment houses and renting houses have been well filled by our eastern visitors who have contributed their portion to our retail trade in exchange for the delights of a sojourn in our wonderful climate. They will soon be on their way home again, spreading the ever-recurring verbal advertisement of Southern California, which each year results in bringing to us more desirable residents to co-operate with us in building the empire of the Southwest. Four or five weeks from now the lights will tell another story. Again the 60-odd miles of water front in Los Angeles and Orange counties, with its beaches and summer resorts, will be aglow with electricity. Hundreds of thousands of people from the interior of the western and Rocky mountain states will be swarming to our beaches for their summer outing, and once more our reliable instrument, the electric meter, will record another shift in the diversity and constantly changing use of electric current and another phase in the business and lives of the people.
