Professionally promulgated sound? Is it true
that the rainfall at Ell PasO has been Oppreciably
enlarged? Has there been corresponding In

the probable source Of the vapOr which Is con-

Gulf of Mexico or the Pacific? On all these
points light should be readily Obtainable at the

evaporation from a large body of water would
mitigate the intense heat which is characteristic
of the region TO the eastward Of the Col dorado
and it Is not unlikely that statistics can be all
duced to establish that superstition. The utmost
caution should be exercised, however, in inter
preting rainfall data from a few stations, or
from only one. No feature Of the weather be
trays such remarkable variations as the rain.
Reputable cllmatologists would hesitate, there
fore, to draw conclusions from figures indicating
the conditions which have existed for only
wear or two. Not until a period very much

The danger Of basing theories on too narrow
foundation is strikingly illustrated by the ex-

precipitation at Los Angeles has ranged from
5.53 to 1926 inches. In six seasons during tnat
period the amount exceeded 20 inches. In seven
it fell below Q. A few years ago, after two or
three dry winters, a bargain was made with
professional rainmaker 10 help the farmers out.
The rainfall that season exceeded the prescribed
limit and the man received his fee. A year
later without artificial help, the supply was
very much larger. Again. it is asserted that
during the current season the precipitation up
to February l had been greater than for any
whole winter in the last fifteen years.

laws strictly regulating the running Of allen
automobiles within their borders. Are those
laws 10 be arbitrarily annulled by federal en-
actment?
These points are suggested not in any spirit
Of hostility Co the proposed law, but with
desire 10 have them and others carefully con-
sdered in the making of the law, so that when
il is made it will be constitutional, effective and
satisfactory We should greatly like to see
travel in motor cars both within state and
from state TO state, made as easy and as free
from restrictions as are the older forms OF loco
motion en- the highways; though it may be that
that cannot be DONE but that the automobile will
have always to pay some slight penalty in return
for the great advantages it enjoys. But so rad

mands the most careful consideration, II II is TO

4 FEDERAL ATrOn0BJLE IAW

There Is probably 40 thought OF enacting at
this expiring session of Congress the bill which
has been introduced for the federal regulation
or automobiles The purposes 10 he served are
those OF bringing the matter TO the attention of
federal lawmakers and OF promoting discussion
OF II with view 10 securing well matured and
satisfactory enactment at some future time
Such purposes are cOmmendabie if they can be
fulfilled. The automobile has become as much
a feature Of social economy as the railroad or
the steamboat, and anything is 10 be welcomed
which will make the use OF il more congruous
with the interests Of the whole community
which viii, especially, protect the public against
she consequences Of misuse of the automobile,
and viii equally give the automobile driver ex-
emption from unnecessary restrictions and an
nOying exactions.
That new legislation is needed 10 that end is
obvious the automobile differs so radically
from previously existing forms OF traffic on COM
mon roads that the cid rules and regulations
are inadequate There IS room for debating
whether spcb legislation should be state as at
present, or national, as some have suggested, or
both, as Is now proposed. There may be some
question as 10 the extent OF federal authority
IN the matter. II is argued that plenary power
exists under the interstate commerce clause Of
the Constitution. But il simple travel from
one state 10 another constitutes commerce. il
might further be held that federal authority
becomes paramount over a man the moment he
drives with horse and buggy, even walks,
across a state boundary line. II travel In an
automobile is commerce. so is travel in a buggy,
on bicycle, or afOOt.
The proposal. we have said. is TO have both
state and national laws. The latter are to sup
i,iement. or complement. and not to replace,
the former. Thus. each state is still TO have its
speed laws registration laws, license fees, etc.
lsut the federal law IS 10 make compliance with
the laws OF his own state a plenary passport,
enabling the automobilist 10 drive his car I'm

cgptlng. we assume. the speed rules. II the
laws ~ al states were uniform there might be
little objection 10 such an arrangement. save on
some technical ground But with the laws diff
feIing as widely as they do Il would probably
be sharply challenged. Some states may not
require registration and numbering Would

THE FUTURE OF THE SALTON SEA.

simultaneously with the seventh and appar-
emily the most successful attempt to close breaks
in the Colorado River, near the head Of the irri-
CATION canal system Of the California Develop
ment Company, the expediency of performing
the work has been called in question II is as
serted that the rainfall at Ell PasO, Tex has
been increased since the formation OF the Salton
Sea, the gain amounting to five inches upon the
average for fully half century previous (1262
lnches). Influenced by that statement the Leg
isIature OF the Lone Star State few days ago
adopted a resolution asking the Texas Senators
and Representatives in Congress TO investigate
the possible relationship between the two phe-
nOmena. The resolution further proposes, in
case it shall appear that beneficial change In
the climate has been effected by the watery ex-
thOrites be requested TO let the inflow continue
and to reimburse the owners OF property who
would suffer in consequence.
Though some OF the questions discussed in
the Presidents message on the subject are yet
20 be decided. Mr.. Roosevelt is committed TO the
idea OF keeping the Colorado within it's normal
and ancient limits. the government acting in
place OF the California Development Company

the rich family which lives In a palace. Indeed,
the burden upon the poor Is propOrt1onately
heavier than upon the rich. 1t Is to a realiza-
ton of these facts that London has awakened,
and that is the reason why all parts of the me-
tropolis, including the distinctively working
mems districts, have so strongly repudiated so
cialism. Thus in Battersea, where three years
ago Mr.. John Burns was elected by 5513 votes
TO 25O3 for his opponent. Mr.. Burns's candidate
has this year been defeated by a RefOrmer.
The relation Of municipal to national politics
should neither be exaggerated nor ignored.
Originally, the County Council was assumed TO
be a nOn-partisan body, or to be divided on local
and not on national issues. So it's two factions
were called Progressives and Moderates. But
more and more the PrOgressives have been iden-
tilted with the Liberals and Radicals in national
politics. and the Moderates with the Conserva-
tives and UnOnists. In this last campaign the
Progresslves made impassiOned appeals for sup
port on the ground that vote for them was
vote Of confidence in the Liberal government
and that vote against them was a vote against
Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman and his col
leagues. We must regard this as an exaggerated
statement of the case, and must esteem as more
accurate and just the view Of the NlOderates,
who did not pose as UniOnists or Conservatives,
but simply as Municipal RefOrmers, and who at
tackled the PrOgressives not as Liberals but as
Wastrels; nor should we be Mt all surprised to
learn that the attempt Of the PrOgressives to
identify themselves with the government reacted
against them and cost them many votes Never
theess, the fact remains that the PrOgressives
are chiefly Liberals and Radicals and the Mod
crates are chiefly Conservatives and UniOnists,
and for that reason the result Of Saturdays cleo
ton is not entirely void of significance in ma
tional affairs. It will doubtless be regarded not
vrofo ~ NJ I'm n ~
to the government, but as an admonitiOn TO the
government to adhere to those democratic stand
ards Of true liberalism which have marked the
real strength of its party and not TO fOrsake
them for the wll-O the-wisps Of socialism and
the Commune.

Thoughts. cheerful and otherwise. are aroused
by the news that scientists are offering as much
as $500 for healthy human brains. A doctor
OF Portland, Ore, so informs The Chicago
Record Herald and we hope the statement is
correct. For many persons IL definitely answers
the vexed question as TO whether or not life is
worth living. Those whose brains can earn for
them exactly 81 800 can solve this famous prob
lem only by taking other than cash considera-
tons into account.

Why nearly everybody wasn't killed by the

We understand that city council
and the committees in charge Of the
work from the chamber of commerce
are havin" some difficulty in widening
Friend street. We are very much
surprised to hear this. as it would
enhance the value of the property Of
all those who have property along tins
street and make it a very desirable
street for residences, especially for
those who desire to be near the bust
ness portion of The city. In fact, it
is about the only street that is avail
able for residences near the business
section. and by widcnin" it five or
ten feet on each side. will not only
make il more desirable. but will en-
hance very materially the value Of
the property along this street and
would pay those who own it to give
it to the city for the purpose of wild
ening.
