SOUTHERN cALFoRNINs suRpRIsrs

Many persons get the notion from cursory observa
ton that Southern California is merely land Of climate
and Such would be surprised probably
If they challenged to county in any eastern
state that show annual land products equal in value
to those OF Southern California county And the
county referred to is not only largely desert socaled
but its entire population is only 10000.
In a review of the products of Riverside county the
Press concludes with this statement: "our estimate
would be- therefore, that the county will receive this
year from the products of the soil and from its mines
and quarries In the neghborhood of S6,000000" The
mining output is inconsiderable factor, relatively
and the land products might safely be placed at
$5OOOOO The entire product of the county for the year
is equal to $500 for every man. and child, or
about $500 for the average family.
Riverside county, like all the other counties Of
Southern California was practically unknown a
producer of years ago. The citrus fruit industry
just beginning to commercial importance
long ago that. This year, however, Riverside
countys output of oranges and lemons will be close to
1000 carloads and the entire output for the orange
ties will approximate 10000 carloads
And the resources of these Southern California coun-
ties have only been scratched in places the surface
There vast agricultural possibilities here that have
not been touched and 1t known that mineral de-
posits of great variety and inestimable value
awaiting development.

STRIKE LEADERS AS GRAFTERS

This the rejoinder: Fifty thousand dollars? Wow!
If anybody brings basket with $4,000 in it do you
suppose I'd kick 1t over?"
Honest workngmen would do well to ponder this
incident at Chicago and then make this philosophical
application: There is doubt that the leaders in

is to doubt the statement quoted above The

admission of President Shea that he would not kick

RESULT OF REPUBLICAN PROFLIGACY

While the plan for creating the greatest navy in the
world is agitated afresh sagacous American nanciers
pointing to the bare condition of the federal treas
ury. Lavish Of the public money has caused an
acute condition of the national finances 1t is condi-
tion that would be alarming if it existed relatively in
the business OF individual, firm a corporation
The government is running into debt at a pace that
leads conservative nancers to hoist the danger signal
For the eleven months of this fiscal year treasury
deficit amounts to $37OO0OO0 1t is expected that the
MONTH which ends the fiscal year. will show
substantial gain, but that is figuring an uncertain
basis.
The evidence of mismanagement in the national
finances is in the fact that the treasury receipts
have increased while the deficit becoming wider and
deeper The total receipts by the government for the
eleven months of the fiscal year foot up $493 O97 OOO
Last year, for the period the figures were s491
$4,000 showing present increase of about 50 OOO
1t is therefore that the cash balance for this
fiscal year to date shows treasury deficit of nearly
$4O,OO0,O00.
And now, Notwithstanding the unprecedented income
of the government the nation is confronted with the
necessity of standing further taxation in some form
to make good the extravaganza incident to Republican
policy At time when the nation is at peace with all
the world scraping the bottom of the treasury
for funds wherewh to add battleshps cruisers to
already great navy which costs annually nearly
double the total cost of the when the Re-
publican party came into national power.
Last year the cost of the department was
S070S2000; this fiscal year it is $11545600O The navy
budget last year $9S6S46OO; this year it is $1Os
714,OOO. In commenting this situation New York
financial report says: "Even the Indians are costing
more, the eleven months expenditures under this head
last year being $9579000 and for this year $S32 OOO"
In the face Of this serious situation the basic ques
tion is, How shall this great deficit be good by
the people? Not only must the present deficit be made
good but provision is necessary for meeting future re-
suits Of extravagant Republican policy 1t is quite gen.
orally conceded among the statesmen who account
able for this situation that 1t will be necessary
to rentroduce the odous stamp taxes that never
have been resorted to by the United States except In
war emergencies.
How do conservative Republicans who followed the
band wagon of the G. o. p last autumn like the idea of
stamp tax nhiction--one of the of the Amer
can reVouon-to make good the lavish waste of public
money by the Republican administration?

WHAT is GARBAGE?

LOS ANGELES, June S.-(Editor
Herald: The garbage question, as far
as this locality - Thirty-ninth and
Julian streets-is concerned, is right
where it was since writing to you
about fortnight ago. The rusty tins
still lie at the curbs, setting off the
flowers and shade trees by a lively
contrast. A friend of mine who has
made a round trip to New York asked
if they were the same tins he saw
when he started. 1 hated to say they
were, but could not tell lie.
Every householder of the city should
make a special study Of what is and
what is not garbage. Many think they
already know, but when their knowl-
edge comes up against the garbage
mans knowledge they get the deadly
"ha, hal" and their garbage left for
them to take care of themselves. AS
an aid in this direction l will mention
a few things which 1 have discovered
are not garbage in Los Angeles.

paint in it, to paint your mosquito

When you are through do not place

them. Do not reoffer them and you
will not be taken down.

think it was garbage?
If you have any old hoops from

that kind. do as you darned we'll please
with them, only do not try them on the
garbage man. He knows what gar
bage is, he does.
My friend says our street is Uttered

he saw was not garbage. That had
