years ago between 4,500,000 and 5,800,000 workers were without jobs. I will not discuss the unfortunate policies which bret on this, but suffice it to say today we have to consider ways and means of killing a million jobs which want workers and can't find them. "That is the bedrock foundation upon which American business and American administration have erected their confidence that this people will not be led into the paths of devious experimentation, the mazes of unlived economic theory and the labyrinth of doctrinary altruism. Early in the spring of 1921 it was realized by those in responsible places that unless means of amelioration were developed and business was given some ground for hope the winter would be marked by privation and suffering to a scale unprecedented in the history of our people. These conditions involved a menace to society. Europe was torn with distractions and revolutions, distressed with the fears of future wars and burdened with debt. A small minority of extremists sought to draw our own country into the maelstrom of social-disorganization. Earnest men in Europe were solemnly discussing whether civilization would survive and thotful people everywhere recognized that if America should be swept into the vortex the disaster would be irrespairable. I shall not tell you about the many SHALL BEACH TOWNS BE COMMERCIALIZED A mass meeting will be held at Alison theatre, New Port beach, Monday at 7:30 for the purpose of discussing whether Newport and Balboa beaches shall become commercial centers or remain recreation spots of Orange-co.

JOSEPH DOWLING A VETERAN OF SCREEN One of the grand old men of the screen is Joseph Dowling, who enacts the role of Zannon Carthy, a lovable old character, in the Victor Schertzinger production, "Dollar Devils," which comes to the United today and Saturday. Mr. Dowling was born in Pittsburg in 1850. He started his motion picture career in 1914 after having spent many years on the legitimate stage, including five years in a grand opera stock company. Since his entry into motion pictures he has appeared in innumerable photoplays, and has established an enviable record as a portrayer of character roles. One of his most outstanding successes was in "The Miracle Man," in which he played the title role. In "Dollar Devils" he has a role for which he is particularly adapted. As Zannon Carthy, a venerable old landmark in the little village of Hemling, he dispenses humor and philosophy and lends a human touch to a delightful character. His work in this picture classes him as one of the foremost character actors on the screen, and is considered a wonderful achievement in a long and successful career.

"Many sincere people pleaded that the government provide unemployment doles from the public treasury. That policy had been adopted in many European countries with results which did not commend themselves. We believed it could and should be avoided. We based our belief on certain convictions about that unique combination of altruism and common sense of generosity and hard-headedness which always has been characteristic of Americans. The government proceeded to do everything in its power to better conditions."

Stockholders of the Santa Fe are, therefore, the owners of the road. Each share of actual voice in all meetings of the Company. At the annual meeting vacancies in the Board are filled and such other business transacted as requires action by the stockholders.
