PUBLIC UTILITIES
APPOINTMENTS


 It is perhaps somewhat early to make predictions as to appointments to the public utilities commission, but rumors of the ambition of sundry gen. t1emen to serve thereupon are in cir cuIation. Positions equal perhaps in useful standing with that of Judges of the Supreme and Super dor courts. and paying as much in sal aries, are not likely to '.go a-beg- ging''; they will be in demand and it is eminently probable that many men have fixed ambitious eyes upon them
 Should the power of appointment be conferred upon the Governor, we look in the event of Goodwdn's election, to see the majority of them given to men who will deal very kindly with the public service corporations. but with some such man as George B.. Chandler or Stiles Judson named in the mi nority in order to give a complexion of seeming impartialfty between cor porations and people.
 In the event of BaIdwin's election we may reasonably expect such impar- tiality of selection as would be exer- cised by a court and as would assure even and exact justice. Judge Bald~ win has announced that as Governor he would consider himself as guar dian for the whole people, More than that cannot be asked. The people de- mand justice, nothing more

made possible by the erection of a
$4,000 Y. NJ. c. A. building.
In Riverside tWenty-siX permits for
residences costing more than $1,000 were
issued during the year, while here in
Pomona 109 permits were issued for

MERCHANTS PAYING
CLAIMS PROMPTLY
BUSINESS OUTLOOK FOR 1910
IS GOOD
How the Situation Is Viewed by the
"Choago Banker"-lndustry is
Spreading and Big Crops
Are Assured

Bv nature some men are pessimists
and per contra, others are optimists.
The old poem had it that the latter saw
the doughnut while the former one saw
the hole. Perhaps the majority of the
well ordered minds, keep to the middle
of the road" as the safer, saner ami
more profitable plan in the long haul.
We here quote one of our optimistic
friends on the outlook for 1910:
1--WE cannot be too optimistic The
greatest possibilities for the future that
we have ever seen are before us. The
year 1910 will undoubtedly be the start
ing one of the most tremendous eX-
pansicns of trade that this or, any other
country has ever known.
"The money that was put away in
safe deposit vaults, tin boxes, between
the mattresses and in old socks has
found it's way back to the legitimate
channels, and confidence has been re-
stored in every corner of our vast coun-
try. Merchants large and small are
paying their bills promptly, and by rea-
son of the tremendous crops in the west
and northwest, and the unprecedented
prices realized by the farmer in the
south and southwest for cotton, there
will be more actual money added to the
wealth of the nation than in any pre-
vious year of it's history. Being on
peaceful footing with nations, and in
much better position to. trade with our
island possessions than ever before, our
commerce should increase in leaps and
bounds"
We do not care to quote the blue
Tipped pessimist and fully indorse the
rosy outlook, within the probabilities
as quoted above. Certainly 1910 will be
a better year for all if the great ma
jority will be optimistic in their be-
liefs. let it influence them in placing
orders for tho year, and in helping to
boost conditions constantly.-Chicago
