STATE POLITICS
"BALLED UP"
Bull Moose National Ticket, But
None In State

What will the harvest be-" polit-
ically, is just now interesting every
real, near. ard would be politician
in the state. because
Our state primaries selected a
state ticket, and elected DELEGATES to
a republican national convention.
also to a republican state conven-
ton.
The state ticket was mixed be-
tween the two factions, some stall
warts, some progressives, which was
both wise and fair.
The national delegates were won
by Roosevelt by a large plurality
over Taft. and the state voted five
to n progressive.
The delegates selected to the state
convention we're also largely pro-
gressive.
The national republican conven-
ton came first, and the progressives
and stalwGrts, or stand-patters,
split-the result being a new pro-
gressive party. and a call for a new
national convention.
The republican state convention
was then held and selected candi-
dates for presidential electors, re-
fusing to pass a resolution endorsing
the national republican ticket. Five
presidential electors were selected
who are know to be for Roosevelt.
And that is the situation today.
The state is largely progressive, but
it has been republican progressive.
Whether voters would leave their
party to vote progressive or not is
what puzzles the politicians who al
ways want to be identified with the
leading vehicle.
There appears to be no way to put
up new or other candidates for cleo
tors in this state, except as "inde-
pendents." The progressives are
holding on to the regular list select
ed as republicans" and the Taft
fellows want them to get off so they
can put on new notwithstanding
dire things to the progressive state
candidates if they don't do it, and
do it quick. The progressives laugh,
and ask what would become of the
stalwart candidates on. the state
ticket if a rough house is started.
In the national field it looks now
as if republicans will divide between
Roosevelt and Taft. While demo-
Gratis are quiet uncertain. Notwith-
standing their talk of harmony.
many of them are not interested in
Wilson, and decline to warm up to
him.
Thus it comes up to that large and
growing Independent, more or less
floating vote to decide the contest
for president.
What that result will be can be
told by no man except the little
partisan who merely expresses his
wish.

RAILROADS SEEKING TO
RAISE TARIFF ON FREIGHT

WASHINGTON. Aug. General in
creases in freight rates on commodi-
ties TO become effective September ?,
are proposed in new tariffs filed by the
iranscontinental railroads with the in
terstate commerce commission. Al
though the new rates are designed to
meet the commissions decision in the
Spokane, Reno and Phoenix rate cases
and would reduce the rates to inter
mountain territory, they would ma
terially increase rates from all the
east to Pacific coast points.
The proposed tariffs, which affect
all transcontinental tariffs, were filed
by r. H. Countiss of Chicago for all
the railroads. Some commodity rates
are eliminated, automatically trans
ferring these articles shipped TO west
ern classification, under which rates
would be considerably higher than at
present. Mr.. Countiss maintains that
this adjustment would relieve the dis
elimination against interior destina-

FOUGHT BY RANCHEES


TULARE, Aug. "a suit for iniilnc-
tion by an association Of Kern county
ranchers, headed by J. c. Heitzeg and
S. l.. Cole, asks to restrain Alpaugh
property owners from further use of
water from artesian wells situated
across the line in north Kern county.
An association of the Alpaugh owners
was formed and several wells drilled.
A system of canals was struck, and a
vide territory irrigated. It is the
claim of the Kern owners that the
opening of these wells has materially
diminished the water in the surround
ing irrigation wells and they claim
that the water developed should be
rsed wholly within the boundaries of
the county where the wells were
drilled

Hints to Home Builders

Half dozen new and unusually
helpful books on home building have
Just been put upon the shelves of the
public library, and should be utilized
by all Ell Centre people who are con
templating anything new in the brick
and mortar or lumber and Shingle or
cement and tile line. These new vol
umes are particularly timely just now
when so many persons are preparing
10 erect new homes. 1t is confidently
expected that this winter will see a
large number of additions to city resi-
dences, and why should not these new
structures conform to the best taste
and greatest practical convenience
The books at the library contain
sketches and plans for houses large
and small, but particularly for bunga
lows of modest cost and artistic ap
pearance. The estimated cost of con.
structlon is given with each plan, and
excellent illustrations show how ii
may be carried out. The titles of the
books are as follows: "'Ye Plannery

nia Homes Practical Bungalows. -
