they gave it out that no more whole
sale liquor licenses should be issued
after the 100 mark is reached, and that
separate entrances for saloons and
restaurants hereafter must be MAIN

Public sentiment rnquestionably will
support this semi-official decision of
the commission. 1t has come to be
generally recognized that we must con-
tinue to tolerate the liquor iniquity, for
while at least. but there is not one
single argument that may be advanced
in favor of more liberal treatment of
this monstrous evil than that which is
now accorded it.

ANGELES HERAID THURSDAY MoRNNG NOVEMBER
CALIFORNIA COTTON


MOTION growing may become one
of the profitable agricultural in
dustries of Southern California.
Down in the now famous Imperial val
ley, "a section which, not long since,
was known as an uninhabitable desert,
experiments in the culture of this pro-
duct have been made the past season,
and the results indicate that that vail
ley can be made the Dixie Land of
California" as the enthusiastic editor
of the Imperial Valley Press expresses
it. In speaking of these experiments
that paper says:
IRA Ateny is making various expert
ments on his ranch two miles north of
FL Centre, and among them is the
growing of cotton. In April, 1906, he
planted six 100-yard rows of Myers
cotton, variety we'll known in Texas,
and the plants made remarkable growth
and bore an unusual number of bolls
that year. The plants were left stand
ing and this year they are in vigorous
condition. A stalk brought in from the
ranch a few days ago carries so many
opened bolls that cotton experts esti-
mate the yield of an acre of similar
plants at eight bales.
"The stalk doubtless was selected for
its unusual fecundity, and should not
be considered an average sample Mr..
Aten, however, estimates the average
of his small field at three bales to the
acre, which is about treble the ordinary
yield in Texas. The staple is three
fourths of an inch long and the bolls
are larger and the proportion of seed
less than in Texas.
"The owner of small farm, it ap-
pears, could handle few acres of cot
ton without increase of labor cost, en-
ploying to advantage his own time.
One man can pick bale of cotton in q
week. 1t takes 1900 pounds of seed cot
ton to make a 50O-pound bale of lint
cotton, worth from $50 to $50 in or
dinary seasons. The seed is by
product to be taken into account, as it
is worth SIS to 500 a ton. Assuming
that the yield would average only two
DoiSo " bhC lSlCi LllS NdluO VI COlIOI
and seed would be from $120 to $140 of
which one-half would be net profit,
the labor cost of the crop being reck-
oned at 80 per cent. If the plants
grown by Mr.. Aten can be regarded as
fair samples of what Imperial valley
soil and climate are capable of produc-
ing, however, the acre value would ex-
ceed that estimate considerably"
If further experiments adduce evil
dence as satisfactory as that which is
the outcome of the pioneer work of 1907
in this direction there is little doubt
that cotton growing will become, in
time, one of the important agricultural
Industries of Southern California. The
fact that cotton plants, after once hav-
ing become firmly rooted, require but
little irrigation doubtless will encour-
age many others to engage in expert
ments, possibly in sections somewhat
remote from the Imperial valley. Fu-
ture developments in this line will be
with great interest by those
who are alive to the multiplicity of pos
sibilities in this most marvellous corner
of the most marvellous land on earth.

RAILROAD COMMISSION
MUST PURGE ITSELF

The people of the state would like to
know whether the attorney general con-
templates any action at any time against
the Southern Pacifc's repeated violations
of the constitution of this state. as ex-
pressed in clear and self-enforcing pro-
visions. Mr.. Webb is serving his second
term as attorney general of California.
The greatest opportunity in the entire
period of his official career to help the
machine-ridden people is now before him.
What will he do about it? VIII he do his
duty? Or will he wait for Irwin and Sum-
merland to notify him that they have
heard through Commissioner Lane at
Washington that the Southern Pacific
confessed, in San Francisco. to list of

granted rebates on business in this state ?
We hope not.

THE TARIFF GRAFT

TN HE president of the National Asso-
citation of Implement and Vehicle
Il Manufacturers, who is also chair
man of the tariff committee of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
declares, in the current issue of Ameri-
can Industries:
when congress gave us 45 per cent
protection, we needing only 20 per cent,
they gave us a congressional permit,
if not an invitation. to consolidate,
form one great trust and advance our
prices 20 per cent. being the difference
between the 20 per cent needed and
the 45 per cent given"
Under this tariff, those who supply
to the factories producing vehicles an
agricultural implements the materials
which they use have formed trusts and
have raised prices from % to so per
cent. The manufacturer quoted in the
foregoing furnishes to us some further
illuminating information. He says:
"All those years I have, as before,
made my sales price on percentage of
costs, and when the tariff pets raised
their prices, as they did, $50,000 to me,
1 made the charge against the jobber
100000, and I know beyond question
that he also figured on a percentage
basis and charged more than $4,000 for
the 100000 he paid me. The product
went through one or two other hands
before reaching the consumer. The
s5O,OOO which paid becomes about $780,
900 to the agricultural consumer"
What intelligent man dares assert
that the protective tariff is not the
father Of the trusts?

johnson has committed one of the
gravest of tactical errors. His violent
mouthings cannot fail to bring added
reproach to the organization he has had

TOO MUCH JOHNSON

WI HEN Grove L. Johnson arose dur
wv ing the closing hours of the spe-
cial session of the legislature,
denounced the Roosevelt administra-
tion as responsible for the financial
stringency and assailed the Lincoln
Roosevelt Republican league of Califor-
MIA for representing the Roosevelt poll
cies in this state, he struck a powerful
blow in defense oe the propaganda of
the lively young organization and drew
taut line between the forces for good
and the decent element within the
ranks of the dominant party.
The most carefully laid plans of the
leaders in the Lincoln-R Roosevelt move
ment looking toward the downfall of
the utterly corrupt cabal which has
made that party in California a by
word throughout the nation could not
have accomplished In weeks what this
veteran has done in one roar of vim
dictive wrath.
When johnson declared that he would
rather follow william F. Herrin, who
he asserted had been voting the Repub-
lican ticket since 1882. than Francis ].
Heney, who but recently has declared
himself for Roosevelt, he shamelessly
affirmed his allegiance to graft and his
enmity for the only decent Republican
which has been instituted
in California for many a long year.
The Republican Organization" in this
state is full of men who, like Johnson,
prefer Herrin to Heney, the Southern
Pacifc's mailed fist to the voice of the

Pensacola, Fla. May so, 1907.
To The Democratic Voters of Pensa-
cola:
Your City Democratic Executive
Committee. learning that many subtle
and misleading arguments are being
used by candidate of the opposition in
order to secure your support at the
election on June 4th, next, would re
spectfully urge that you support only
those candidates whom you have re
Gently nominated in your primaries.
This course is dictated by every po-
litical organization, whether republi-
can. populist, or socialist, and we can
see no reason Why the democratic or
ganization should violate its pledges
at the behest of the siren voices of
aspiring republican politicians, how
ever witty and plausible they may APP
pear.
We would direct attention to the
fact that the democratic voters con-
stitute four fifthS of the qualified vOt-
ers of the city, and hence the
necessity of these gentlemen to APP
peal to the democratic voters alone to
assist in their election. Yet we do not
believe that any one of the candidates
of the opposition would betray his
party under SUCH circumstances, ana
surely they know they could not be
elected except through a betrayal on
your part of the trust conided to
you
Your committee does not believe,
however. that any number of demo-
cratic voters-knowing the necessity
for the continuation of white suprem-
AEGEAN be caught by such Juggling
with political morals as the opposi-
tion is attempting, but as faithful ser
wants warns your of the impending
danger, and urges that every man who
participated in the primaries stand
true and firm to his political obliga-
tions as he would to those of a pri-
rate character, and by so doing vindi-
cate his loyalty to principle.
