DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Faith builds a bridge across the gulf of death, To break the shock blind Nature cannot shun, And lands thought smoothly on the farther shore—Young. WHEN PRESIDENT DO NOT INTERFERE. The other day President Wilson veered the bill to revive the War Finance Corporation, which is supposedly needed to help out the plight of the farmers of the country. Senate Democrats almost unanimously joined with Republican Senators in overriding the veto. Evidently the day of "one-man government," and "presidential interference" has passed, just as it passed eight years ago, when the then President, William H. Taft, found his power and influence over Congress swept away by an adverse vote of the people in the November election. Mr. Taft made "economy and efficiency" in the affairs of government his particular pet, but Congress would not even permit him to maintain the credit for his zeal in behalf of these needed objects in government; and they pushed his pleas aside, just as they did the other day with President Wilson in overwhelming this veto. Former President Roosevelt had the same experience when he retired from office, and on March 4 he was still fighting battles that had lasted from the previous November. We are reminded once more that "nothing succeeds like success," because four years ago Mr. Wilson's veto would doubtless have been sustained. A defeated President, with his party power likewise repudiated, has a hard time of it. It almost converts one to the belief that the term of the presidency should cease with the beginning of the session of congress in December, instead of dragging along for four fighting months. Nevertheless, we are reminded by the experiences of President Wilson and ex-President Taft that after all the supreme power in the government rests with the people them-which has been perhaps the most perilous, financially and economically, is has ever experienced. It makes a thoughtful person shudder to think of the disastrous conditions that might have prevailed, after the armistice. If the fiscal and credit system of the nation had not been under the firm guidance of this super-important agency. Because of the proven merits of the federal reserve system and because of the general stability and intrinsic soundness of the general economic situation, the American people, with good and sufficient reason, enter upon the year 1921 with cheerfulness and confidence. The year should see readjustment of the economic structure practically completed. By the next New Year conditions throughout the county should be relatively normal. Hope for this. Strive for it. Say and do all possible to bring it to pass. THE SHORTAGE OF HOMES In 1919 only about 70,000 houses were built in the United States. The average in pre-war years was 350,000 to 400,000 family dwellings. While figures are not obtainable for 1920, the probabilities are that the record will be as bad as in 1919, if not worse. It is observed that the house shortage does not materially affect the man with a salary of several thousand dollars a year, but wage earners and those earning small salaries are hit "between the eyes." The crowding of rooms is viewed by health officials with anxiety. In all cities the "down town" rents are driving out those with small salaries. When they turn to the desirable suburbs it is to find that new housing operations are not caring for their wants. Investigations of civic improvement reveal that the country is in immediate need of a million and a quarter homes. Particularly in the cities the necessity has arisen of "getting out into the country." It is the logical solution of the family of small means, with a desire to live decently. Coupled with their problem is the difficulty that exists in local transportation. The politicians continue to "nothing succeeds like success," because four years ago Mr. Wilson's veo would doubtless have been sustained. A defeated President, with his party power likewise repudiated, has a hard time of it. It almost converts one to the belief that the term of the presidency should cease with the beginning of the session of congress in December, instead of dragging along for four fighting months. Nevertheless, we are reminded by the experiences of President Wilson and ex-President Taft that after all the supreme power in the government rests with the people themselves. No one can find any semblance of "one-man government" in the present situation. RESERVE BANK SYSTEM IS WIDELY USEFUL Review of the operations of the Federal Reserve Bank system during the year 1920 is of deep interest to the people. The wholesome and beneficial influence of this great fiscal scheme is manifest. It has stood between the American people and possible monetary panic and depression. It has tided the nation over a period —Los Angeles Street ELK PARK LOTS have abundance of shade. DR. W. M. McMULLEN OSTEOPATHIC PHYSICIAN 502 North Spadra Cor. Chapman Fullerton —Glasses Fitted— DR.

Armsby of the California Packing Co., shows that the value of this year's pack of California canned fruits and vegetables exceeds $108,000,000. And that in addition to the prodigious output of fruits consumed fresh with citrus fruits greatly in the lead, and to the still larger output of raisins, prunes, peaches and other dried fruits in the state. Canning, fruit packing and preserving plants have made such a record as the above possible in California and the same kind of plants can produce similar results in other states with fruits, vegetables and berries. Utah is noted for fine canned vegetables, while Oregon and Washington are making a record for canned and preserved small fruits. California, however, has shown what can be done as regards volume of output and other states which excel in vegetables or small fruits can duplicate California's record. NEW CROP POLITICAL LAWYERS After each congressional election a flock of "prominent lawyers" who have lost out in elections "at home," join the lawyers' colony in Washington. The shingle-makers are preparing a great many new markers to hang over the doors of the new crop of lawyers that will open shops in the national capital. A defeated congressman falls short of being a hero at home, and since those of the lawyer-kind have usually sacrificed their driving out those with small salaries. When they turn to the desirable suburbs it is to find that new housing operations are not caring for their wants. Investigations of civic improvement reveal that the country is in immediate need of a million and a quarter homes. Particularly in the cities the necessity has arisen of "getting out into the country." It is the logical solution of the family of small means, with a desire to live decently. Coupled with their problem is the difficulty that exists in local transportation. The politicians continue to hammer the street railway lines, with the result that suburban lines are no longer being built in keeping with the demands of the public. To a house, either old or new, "down town" or in the "country," access to an efficient railway is as essential as other improvements. The householder who can get a clean, comfortable substantial home, and good transportation, is able to live cheaper, and more satisfying to himself than is possible in the congested districts. Those who study the housing shortage must look beyond their noses, and then they will find that the price of boards, nails, carpenters and bricklayers' wages in only a part of the puzzle, since common sense dealings with street railway systems are a part of the real problem that is being faced.

Coudem is the diffificial transportacontinue to law practice, when entering political life, the process of beginning all over looks more alluring with Washington the seat of their activities, than does the simple life of their old home town. Some of them "make connections" with business interests and open shop on a hopeful basis, after their term of office expires. Others throw the dice of future success in the game of chance. Some win fame and fortune, while others drift along, and sad, but true—become "has-beens." After all, the chances of success for the new crop of political lawyers is no brighter in Washington than it is for those who go "back home." In either event the man of limited means is compelled to begin his career anew. A SIMPLD, unostentatious inauguration, such as Mr. Harding favors, urges and is to have, will be pleasing to the people. While a certain amount of ceremony in connection with that event has not been regarded as being incompatible with democratic institutions and forms, yet the people want none of the pomp of royalty and nothing that smacks of monarchism. It would be a great asset to California to control its floods and to impound flood waters, so as to provide abundantly against dry years. This state, under present conditions, lets enormous quantities of the precious fluid run to waste. It is economically unsound to go on this way. Flood losses should be prevented and floods should be imprisoned and made to serve useful purpose. Extraordinary adventure indeed was that of three U. S. navy balloonists who were driven into the cold Canadian wilds by a storm and all but perished before being rescued by a near-miracle. It is not the first time that hardy Americans have battled hard and successfully with the rigors of Arctic cold. In polar explorations, American courage, resourcefulness and indomitability of spirit have shone resplendently.

Owens, night clerk at the Hotel Valencia, was given a humorous little write-up last week in the Index-Tribune of Sanoma in the northern part of the state when he wrote a crisp little note renewing his subscription to the Index-Tribune. He wrote them: "No paper for two weeks. Enclosed please find 1,000,000 yen, China money, but in good old U.S. we call it a cart wheel," as Bud Fisher says, one fish. Yours in the front row with a happy New Year." Harry Murphy, editor, replied thru his paper: "Elmer, we do not look on wine when it is red any more because it is taboo (only when we can get it) but we continue to look on the long green with favor when it be in yen, simo-leons, or kopees. Thank you." Got a couple of burros you want to get rid of? Neither has City Marshal Thwing, of Fullerton, but he has a customer, so all he needs is the burros to complete the sale. Somebody told an innocent stranger that the Fullerton "pound master" had two of these mild, inoffensive and more or less useful animals for sale at a bargain and the letter of inquiry fell to Marshal Thwing. The letter reads like this: "A gentleman of the road, living the simple life as advocated by a certain well wisher of humanity, stated that you had two burros for sale and I am wondering how much you want to get, and also, how little you would accept to be relieved from caretaking of the same. "I had a horse and a mule, while a poor fellow had two boys and a burro. So, to connect the two boys with a plow and paper route, I traded horse for burro and am duly engaged in moving stakepin of mule and burro every day, but I could use some of my spare time, which is between meals, to stake out two more to prove my having a job and oblige.

ANTI-JAP FUND CAMPAIGN SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20—The collection of a "secret emergency fund" by the Japanese Societies of Calif., to "arouse public sentiment in Japan and to win sympathy and influence in America," has merely resulted in rousing Calif., to build a fund to educate the nation on the Japanese problem. While the Japanese already have raised more than $100,000 here, according to the vernacular press here and in Japan, California will raise a fund of $200,000 Feb. 7-12 with which to acquaint the nation with Calif.'s reasons for the overwhelming Calif. victory for the Allen land law at the last election. A strong committee has been selected for the "emergency fund" campaign. John N. Anderson has been appointed chairman for Orange-co. TIME TO APPLY FOR TAGS Now is the time to apply for your state license and new plates, Mr. Motorist. Motorists in doubt as to the procedure in securing the 121 plates and certificates of registration are advised to seek help in person from any touring bureau of the Auto Club, wherever located. It will be found that there are few changes in the process from that of last year. One of the most striking departures is that the certificates of registration will be returned to the applicant with the new 1921 plates, and attached to the envelope in which they are received.
