BRANCHES NEEDED

SST1 HE defect in the business rela-
tions between the United
II States and China has been that
our manufacturers and merchants have
been satisfied with a representation
there by a professional business agent" ."
So says Ambassador Rockhill. Is it
possible the United States for trade ex-
pansion is trusting too much to consuls,
consular agents and their reports?
These reports are most interesting
documents, and contain as much in
formation as the letters of special
newspaper correspondents, which they
resemble. But RESULTS are obtained
not by maintaining governmental
bureaus in foreign countries, but by
starting branch houses to take care of
American industries.
That is the old-fashioned way by
which other commercial countries have
built up foreign trade, and it is the way
which must be adopted by the United
States. Then instead of writing essays
on the population and the products and
the probable business needs of the
countries to which they are assigned
the consuls in their reports may send
us statistics and other information as
to the actual progress of American
trade and keep us posted as TO the
opening in foreign countries OF
branches of American houses. World
commerce should provide splendid
field for many of the able, enterprisina
young men of the United States. And
we would respectfully suggest that the
glamourie of a consulate is not TO be
compared with the witchery Of a
career of commercial success which
would lie before American youths if oul
leading merchants would open branch
houses not only in London but every
where"

GOOD ROADS

7 N accordance with a recommended
ton made to Special Committee
\ men James Slauson, J. o. Koepfli
and J. M. Schneider, indorsed by the
directors of the Chamber of Commerce,
Merchants and Manufacturers asso-
citation and Municipal league in joint
meeting with the directors of the Good
Roads association, the advisory board
will take steps to engage engineers
and assistants to act for them in over
looking the contracts made and work
done in building the good roads. The
good roads work will be surrounded
by safeguards that cannot fail to be
satisfactory to the public. Provision
will be made to obtain for the city the
skilled assistance of highly competent,
practical men, who will give their
services from patriotic motives. The
special committee made its recon-
mendation to the directors of the
Chamber of Commerce, the Merchants
and Manufacturers association and
the Municipal league, in joint meeting
with the directors of the Good Roads
association, who unanimously adopt
ed It.
The position taken by the committee,
stated plainly in it's report and to be
enforced this week, is, the present at
titude of the Solid Three, as far as
the committee has been able to ascer-
tain 1t, is in the nature of a breach of
personal faith to the public. In other
words, the Solid Three stand pat, "
and virtually say to the people, in
language only too familiar to long
suffering American citizens, What are
you going to do about it?'
The charge is also made the present
members of the highway commission
accepted their positions in full knowl-
edge their appointments were made in
breach of the pledges given by the
majority of the supervisors, and ac-
cording to their own statement they
have carried out a patronage deal with
the majority of the board of supervisors
whereby they remove without good
cause their secretary, and by such
action have forfeited the confidence of
an lDSullGu puDllCs CApSl SAiS9O ~
cumstances the advisory board can
have no harmonious relations with the
board of supervisors, and the commit
tee has pointed out the only possible
relief to the situation will be the
resignation of the highway commits
sion, on whom, together with the
boards of supervisors, rests the full
responsibility. That the supervisors
should have to be supervised is a novel
idea, but the alertness of the good
people of Los Angeles is demonstrated
by the fact that steps should have
been taken so promptly and so ef-
ficiently to guard the bond issue and
provide the good roads demanded by
the public.

GOOD ROADS FREIGHT

4 LINE of freight-carryiug automo-
IN biies is being established in I'm
IA perial Valley, A local transpor-
tation company has concluded it will
be much cheaper TO put auto-vehicles
on good roads than TO build a steam
railroad. 1t may be predicted safely
that freight-carrying automobiles,
sooner rather than later will do an
immense amount Of the countrys haul
ing. Indeed, if there We're everywhere
good roads, the problem of freight car
rying and freight rates would be sim
plhed.
The Imperial Valley ranchers are
much encouraged by the success of the
automobile experiment and are conf
dent the business interests of the val

dom and independence of the new
method Of freight carrying, Califor-
mia, with an excellent system Of good

Gently they never dreamed Of The

portation. The automobile freight ex-
Dress will come with the good roads.

MATRIMONIAL

II ING EDWARD is a famous match
N maker and is trying to promote
IA the union of Miss Katherine
Elkins and the duke of the Abruzzi.
Americans will remember, with mingled
feelings, that the italian royal house ad-
vised the representative of the Abruzzi
to jilt the American girl on account of
the fact she was not of royal lineage.
Since the engagement was broken off
because of the plebeian nature of an
American father and his inferior posi-
ton to an Italian duke, Papa Elkins
has been doing some genealogical re-
searching and has found the Elkins
family is much nobler, far more royal
than the Abruzzi When the genealo-
gist investigated the Elkins family
tree he found Mr.. Elkins had fore
fathers as far back as in the days OF
Noah He discovered many Of Mr.
Elkins' ancestors were alive in pre-
historic times, and as the Abruzzi
family is only historical its inferiority
cannot be disputed.
After King Edward has told all this
to Queen Margherita the noble houses
of Elkins and Abruzzi will be united in
matrimony. Maybe.

TEACH AMERICANISM

TROM the University Of Chicago
comes a complaint social duties
II interfere with educational work
Glasses, fraternities and clubs keep UP
constant merry -go-round of dances
receptions and tea parties. Young
America has heard so much about over
strenuousness and the necessity for re-
taxation it is not surprising it shows
tendencies to be perhaps too gay. For
about a dozen years the great Ameri-
can nation has been using up nervous
energy at a rate unprecedented in the
history of the country. This prodigal-
ity of vitality and of the physical and
mental forces has been rendered possi-
BILE by the big immigration which has
constantly poured a torrent of new,
vigorous blood into the country 1t
was Mr.. Roosevelt who called attention
to the fact the nation should be re-
cruited more by the birth rate and less
from Ellis Island if it would maintain
its world leadership.
The young people who have led such
strenuous lives that the University Of
Chicago has expelled hundred of them
should have studied Americanism
which teaches habits CT steady indus
try, puts students in possession of
reasonable explanation of the growth
and prosperity of the United States
and tells them good citizenship and
good government are necessary factors
in the prosperity of the nation. Let
the universities interest their students
in the necessity of knowing American
ism and American subjects and there
will be less of the irresponsibility
which is a disturbing factor in uni
versity life and work.

TIRESOME CHICANERY

4 PLAN for the protection of public
u interests from the pledge break
"A ing solid three supervisors is
recommended by James Slauson, j. O.
Koepfli and j. NJ. Schneider, represent
ing the chamber of commerce, the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
and the Municipal league. 1t is sug-
gested by them that the advisory
board take immediate steps to employ
the necessary engineers and assistants
to act for them in overlooking the con-
tracts made and work done in build
ing the roads as outlined by the high
way commission. Such engineers and
assistants are to report to the advisory
board. the members of which are to ad-
wise the public when in their opinion
work is being done other than for the
best interests of the people"
Arrangements are to be made where
by the committee can employ engi-
neers, inspectors and an accountant to
keep a check on the good roads work.
Chairman Butler of the advisory COM
nlittee says: IF we find anything
wrong in good roads matters it is not
unreasonable to suppose that other
county expenditures need to be looked
after. AS A PRIVATE CITIZEN l
AM TIRED OF THE SOLID THREE
IDEA IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS, AND
THINK IT IS HIGH TIME THE
PUBLIC SHOULD BREAK IT UP. 1t
appears to me the supervisors should
serve the people instead of other in
terests" Mr.. Butler will find his SEN
timents are shared by an oyerwhelm-
ing majority of the citizens who, like
him, are heartily TIRED of this ever
lasting chicanery in connection with
public Office holding.
