THE SAME OLD INFLUENCES

Mr.. Hay and his Organization evidently
do not appreciate the fact that the same
oligarcby that has since 1897 controlled Con.
gress is organized. The important change
being that Mr.. Cannon will be speaker In
stead OF Mr.. Henderson. The chairman of
about all the important committees, who
have so much influence on reporting legis
lation, will again be appointed and the ultra
protection gang will still be on top. Mr..
Hay and those whom he represents will
also have 10 dlsabuse their minds of the fal.
lacy that President Roosevelt desires tariff
reform, for he stated 10 his speech at Gin.
cinnAu last fall that the tariff did not affect
the trusts and that protection must be pre-
served. II President Roosevelt lavors tariff
reform he has never recommended II TO
Congress. He wants the Cuban reciprocity
treaty ratified and may favor the fisheries
treaty, though that Is doubtful, for Senator
Lodge, his chief political adviser, is opposed
10 II. President Roosevelt has the reputa.
zion amongst those who do not know him,
OF being great reiormer, but the only re.
form he Ia at present intent upon, 10 10 In.
duce the Republican party to change lie
policies OF never nominating as liz candl.
date any one who has been Vice. President.
That reform is occupying oil his time and
attention, and his most strenuous efforts
will be entirely confined TO that until the
National Republican Convention meets.

California Wealth.

California Wealth.
The reports made by the saving banks
of San Francisco recentlysshow deposits
of S156, 81, $780, This immense sum ex.
ceeds the record of all former years, and
represents about $4,000 per capita. AS
this is more than three times the average
savings bank deposit per capita for the
whole United States, it is certainly a
good showing, nor is it confined to San
Francisco. The returns from the banks
fthe state, save National banks, show
an aggregate increase of assets for the
year of $55, 376,O24 This exceeds the
highest former record of gain by 1924, 81 :
497, very satisfactory state of affairs.
California is not simply land for the
tourist, but for the investor and the farm
er. Perhaps no other farmers enjoy
so large an income as California farmers.
A rate per cent on the investments that
would satisfy the Eastern Farmer is con-
sidered very meagre here. Fruit farm
ing has always been profitable; fortunes
have been made in oranges and the yield
of alfalfa makes dairying paying indus
try.
Land is lower in price than it will ever
be again and rates from the East over the
Southern Pacific lines are now based on
fare of $500 from Sioux City or
Omaha SO that it is a good time to see
the state.
This rate will expire June 18th.

Fire Department Kept Busy Running
 to BIazes of No Importance.

The hoodoo started by Chief Joyner of Atlanta. did not let up yesterday, and the fire department was kept busy making runs to blazes which amounted to noth- ing.
 The work commence early in the morning when the suc.es' , firemen were rudely awakened at 5:3i o'clock to ex- tinguish a spark on the roof of the resi- dence of w. H. Hollis on Avenue c be- tween Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets.
 The department had hardly settled It. self back into the comfortable arm chairs when an alarm came in from 24l6 Third avenue, where a spark was burning the shingles on the roof of house occupied by Alice Atkins.
 At l1:20 o'clock the third alarm came in from Twenty-eighth street and Twelfth avenue, north, where very little damage was done a residence. Again at 5:25 last night the department had q run to Nine teenth street between Seventh and Eighth avenues north. where a spark was burning a shingle.
