TENDENCY TOWARD PATERNALISM SEEN IN CAL. ASSEMBLY A tendency toward paternalism and the strong influence of state officials and commissions in shaping and controlling legislation, these are two of the big features that Assemblyman Walter Eden, just returned from Sacramento, says stand out in his mind most clearly in looking back upon the session of the legislature. During the session a good many bills were passed of direct interest to Orange County, and other bills were defeated in the defeat of which this county was interested. "That bill giving the Railroad Commission complete control of franchises of all public utilities, taking that control entirely out of the hands of countie sand cities, was lost in the senate," said he. "The fight that I took part in against that bill when it was in the assembly turned on the searchlight and brought out its bad features, resulting in its defeat in the end. That was a pernicious bill. It would have placed counties and cities at the mercy of the public service corporations." Tendency toward Paternalism. "There were a good many bills that were introduced, some of which went through both houses and some of which were defeated, showing the general tendency toward giving the state authority to attend to affairs for the people at large. For instance, there was a bill declaring the state owner of all water in the state. That got through one house. The next step, in theory at least, would have been to declare the state owner of all land. "There was a tendency toward getting legislation to break up big land holdings. One bill, for instance, provided than an individual should have the right to condemn a right of way, Game Commission," said he, referring to the defeat of the bill, which was prepared by the Farm Bureau and District Attorney of this county. "Frank Newbert, president of the commission, admitted to me that the commission fought the measure because the commission feared that the gun clubs were knocked out the commission would lose all of the money paid for hunting licenses by gun club members. I skinned him my address to the assembly. The idea that the commission would allow low that license money to stand in the way of passing a bill that meant millions of dollars for our farmer struck me as outrageous. "The Fish and Game Commission is one of the most powerful influences at the legislature, and in every way possible it and the gun club had secured promises from enough assemblymen to defeat the bill before it ever came up to a discussion. "I stirred up that commission in my charges in which I demanded an investigation. The commission admitted that it had been unable to stop the pollution of rivers and bay by oil companies and paper companies, but my demand for an investigation came too late for a full investigation. After Judge Cox. "There were a lot of those assemblymen after Judge Cox, and they managed to slip through a provision in the motor vehicle act that they think will keep motorists from being brought before Justice Cox every time one is arrested in Orange county. When the general motor vehicle act was rushed through, Assemblyman Kasch of Mendocino County slipped in a provision which orders that when a motorcop arrests a speeder, the speeder must be cited to the justice of the township in which the offense was committed. I told Kasch that he was responsible for one of the most inconvenient provisions in the motor vehicle law, for motorists who may be arrested. Now..." of which were defeated, showing the general tendency toward giving the state authority to attend to affairs for the people at large. For instance, there was a bill declaring the state owner of all water in the state. That got through one house. The next step, in theory at least, would have been to declare the state owner of all land. "There was a tendency toward getting legislation to break up big land holdings. One bill, for instance, provided than an individual should have the right to condemn a right of way, not for public use, but for private use. That bill failed. "One bill is up to the governor that allows counties and the state to buy land with a freer hand than ever before." Gun Club Fight. Eden made a hard fight to put through his bill for the control of artesian wells. He said that it was nearly a single-handed fight, and that he got 26 votes for the measure." "The gun clubs were backed up with all the power of the Fish and MADAM MAXWELL OLAIRVOYANT AND PALMIST Free Consultation READINGS DAILY AND SUNDAY Office hours: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. 812 E. CENTER ST.

ORANGE-CO YANKS HOME TO STAY; FIND WARMEST WELCOME Most of the Orange County men of the 364th Infantry who arrived at Camp Kearny last week have reached their homes and were given everywhere the welcomes that had been awaiting them ever since they went into service in the fall of 1917. These are the men who paraded in Los Angeles the first of last week. The remainder of the 364th, containing a smaller number of Orange County men, paraded Saturday in Los Angeles and are now at Camp Kearny awaiting their discharges. They will be home within two or three days. Everywhere the returning men were greeted with handshakes and everywhere groups of friends gathered about them and heard them tell something of their experiences. These men almost without exception were engaged in battle. Most of the local boys who are back were in the headquarters and supply companies of the 364th. The headquarters company went over the top. The supply company did not go over the top, but it was right up at the front carrying supplies. In fact, their position was often more dangerous than the position of the men in battle, for the roads were shelled regularly and they did their work under shellfire. Among those who returned is John Mock of El Toro, Orange-co. Mock never got into action. As the troops were at the front waiting for their first rush at dawn, about forty men of the regiment were killed and wounded by shrapnel. Mock was struck in the leg and taken to the hospital. He did not get back to his company until after the armistice was signed. Monday afternoon a number of Orange County men arrived in Los Angeles. SANTA ANA HAS THIEVING EPIDEMIC A pass key operator entered the home of D. Jones, 1221 East Fourth street, early Saturday evening and got considerable loot.

His plunder was 3 suit cases, two tan and one black, two blue suits, four shirts and four ties, two pairs of tan shoes, one blue serge coat, a 38 nickel plated revolver and $5 in cash. MANY ATTEND DANCE A good crowd was in attendance at the dance given by the Yeoman in the Odd Fellow Hall on Monday evening.

SAY JAP REFEREE WHIPPTD OBJECTORS The traditional right of an American crowd to lick the umpire if they don't like his decisions is not a right recognized upon American soil by H. Toyoda, strong man and wrestler and Sunday referee at a Japanese wrestling match at the County Park. When Toyoda's decisions were jeered he turned in and licked the crowd. Since the Japs couldn't jiu-jitsu Toyoda into submission, they have resorted to the American courts. Toyoda is charged with battery. The bruised, angry Japs who told their tale of woe to Deputy District Attorney Menton that Toyoda is a powerful man, a noted wrestler and rough in his methods. He is strong, and he likes to use his strength upon his fellow countrymen. A feature of a Japanese picnic at the County Park was a wrestling match, with the mighty Toyoda as a referee. In the excitement of the contest some of the Japs said disrespectful things concerning the referee and straightway the referee turned upon his tormentors. The com plaining Japs said that he knocked down no less than ten of them, including Mrs. S. Nishizu. —Phonographs, Schmidt Music Co., Anaheim.

The army at the front did all that was expected of them—there was no hanging back, no lagging, no refusing to fight among those men who offered their lives. They went over the top like "they were going to a banquet," as General Mangin said. And Death was the toast to which 70,000 of them responded. The army of stay-at-homes kept loyal pace with them in the service of the country. First and last they went down into their pockets for some $18,000,000,000 to meet the war expenses and gave their money to the country in a volume which half a decade ago would have been unbelievable. They proved to them over there they stood solidly behind them and to the world that we were in the fight to the finish.
