Challenge to Opposition and Lengthy Recital of Achievements
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 7.—Governor Friend W. Richardson's first biennial message was submitted to the legislature today by the governor in person, before a joint meeting of the two houses.
The document—one of the lengthiest messages on record—is at once an accounting of his administration, a defense of the economy policy, a declaration for its continuance and a presentation of a platform on which the governor, some observers believed, evidently intends to run for re-election in 1920.
The message in effect was a challenge to the opposition in the legislature and a recital of the achievements of his administration. All of the major departments and commissions of the state government are taken up by the governor in his report, with figures indicating the savings made by them under his budget.
"Economy has been the waterword of state government during the last two calendar years," said the governor. "Every endeavor has been made to conduct affairs on an economical, efficient and businesslike basis."
"The results show that $12,000,000 has been saved as promised the people and that from a deficit, when I took office there is now a surplus of $6,000,000. The practice of economy has resulted in increased efficiency in the various state departments. Economy came into the management of the state government in 1923 as an unwelcome guest to the bosses of the old political machine and the spendthrifts who had for years kept piling higher and higher the burden on the taxpayers. Every inch in the progress of the economy campaign has been contested vigorously and violently by the political bosses, their tax eating parasites and spendthrifts generally."
In conclusion on this phase, the governor said:
"I want to assure you of my loyal support and desire to cooperate with you in every way for the best interests of the state, for the continuance of the present business policies of the state government and for the maintenance of the principles of economy. Bolled down into one word, my policy has been economy and will continue to be economy."
Concerning the political aspects, the governor said:
"During the last two years I have endevoured to give the people a business and not a political administration. Appointments have been made on merit and not on political pull. The present state administration has no political machine or political organization."

The governor referred to the hoof and mouth disease, the forest fire situation and an epidemic which he declared had made the year a trying one in California. More deadly than these, he said, were "the flames of yellow journalism which lighted the world with false, exaggerated and lurid tales."
The hoof and mouth disease, he said, cost the state and nation directly nearly $6,000,000.
He placed the problem of highway financing squarely up to the legislature. Attention was again called to the importance of legislative reapportionment.
The governor urged passage of the child labor amendment and emphasized the importance of education, declaring that the various school districts should be given greater control over school affairs.
With reference to the new athletic commission to govern boxing the governor declared that he had appointed a commission that will give the law every opportunity to function.

Before any definite steps could be taken for holding a conference in Brussels during March, but such a conference with American representatives absent would be "useless," officials declared.
Before any definite steps could be taken for holding a conference in Brussels during March, but such a conference with American representatives absent would be "useless," officials declared.
The Franco-American debt situation and America's "legal" right to a share of the receipts derived thru the Dawes plans were paramount, in the eyes of diplomats, to all other matters scheduled to come before the allied financial conference. Ostensibly the conference is being held to work out a new division of German reparations. Actually, according to diplomatic observers, it will accomplish nothing of the kind. The best that can be hoped of the conference, they say, is that it will furnish ground for a much broader conference of the allies, at which the whole problem of war debts and reparations could be taken up.
The United States is represented by Ambassador Herrick and Ambassador Kellogg, the latter of which came from London especially for the conference. Col John A. Logan, observer on the reparations commission, also is present.
Strenuous opposition to the American claim is expected to come from England. It has been the British contention that America should not participate in the German reparations because Americas did not sign the treaty of Versailles.
America should collect its war claims from German-American property taken during the war by the alien property custodian, England holds.
Representatives of the 12 allied nations, including six finance ministers assembled in the famous clock room of the foreign office palace when the conference was called to order. This was the room where the late President Woodrow Wilson, Clemenceau and Lloyd George drew up the terms of the treaty of Versailles.
It was 3 o'clock before all of the representatives had assembled. The specific purpose, it was announced, was to make a division (Continue on Page Six)

worked leisurely, as the train
makes but a few stops.
Until today, however, it had

DOUBLE DUTY
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—This can be put either on the setting page or the financial section. The Washington baseball club, one of the world's series, paid dividend of 40 per month last year, it was announced today following a directors' meeting.
Officers were elected last night by the local fire department at their regular meeting, only one of the old officers being retained. Frank Tausch, who has been secretary of the department about 10 years, was re-elected for another year.
Other officers elected were: Vie LaMont, chief; Jack Kemper, assistant chief; Art Kemper, first lieutenant; H. E. McGillivary, second lieutenant; Carl Pressell, sergeant; Vincent Bruce, treasurer; and Arch Hawkins, foreman.
The annual report of the secretary showed the total fire loss for the year to be approximately $45,-450, by far the greatest loss for any one year in the history of Anaheim. This included the loss to the Efker store which was estimated at $27,000, to the Ruhman building of $4,500, and to the McCloskey store of $3,000.
It was said that there would probably be a large number of changes in the department appointments.
FIRST DIVIDEND
