that from Grand Junction, Col, to The Needles,

ten feet per mile; while the curvature contrary to

Park Is about seven miles from the lake
front site, but the Illinois Central Rail-
rosd takes people out there in very few
minutes. Responding to an interview, Mr..
De Young says: "California is taking
great interest in the fair. The State Legis-
lature, at its next session, will probably
appropriate $4,000 for the States part
in the display"
Now the interest which California has
taken in this matter up to this time was
upon the theory that it would be enabled,
in building erected by itself, to make
display of its entire products. When it
comes to be known that the display of Cali
fornia is to be separated into twelve parts
and distributed, the interest which the
people of this State have taken will be
measurably if not wholly impaired. The
State Legislature will not appropriate
$4,000 for any such display. To do so
would be 10 commit an act of "boodle.'
The Republican party, victorious in the
last campaign, achieved that victory by
distinct pledge TO the people of the State
that the rate of State taxation should not,
under its administration, exceed 80 cents
on the dollar. 1t will make an exceed
ingly bad beginning if it appropriates
S750,000 for submerging the products of
California in wilderness of competition.
The people who will have prospectively
the pleasure of disbursing this three.
quarters of million will find it much
easier to blow about it than obtain it.
There is a commendable State patriotism
which seeks to avail itself of every oppor-
tunity for extending a knowledge of the
vast resources of this State.
There are people to say, whenever a
foolish and extravagant thing is proposed,
that objection may hurt the State. There
| is at the same time a strong element of
common sense which is not in the least
| afraid of being charged with unpatriotic
sentiment by opposing silly expenditure
of money. And the expenditure of $780,
| 000 of the States money to make dis
play, divided into twelve departments,
will be an imbecility OF which this State
will not be guilty. The Executive Com
mittee of the State Worlds Fair Associa-
tion have decided to ask for an appropria-
ton Of 100000 The committee having
in charge the drafting Of the bills reported
in favor of $250000. After thorough con-
sideration of the matter, 100000 was
agreed upon as a judicious sum. That
amount is ample for all the legiti-
mate purposes any commission can have
