Compulsory system

(By United Press Associations)
Washington, Dec. THE supreme
court today sustained the interstate
commerce commissions ruling estab-
fishing a compulsory uniform system
of railroad accounting. The decision
in the case was brought by the Kansas
City and Southern road, which alleged
that the commissions ruling was un-
reasonable.

neaVy macnlneS, ana all COgeCner Cney
form he has promulgated speaks in
this line.
That a state administration under
his direction would be in thorough
harmony with the national admins
tration of President Wilson is appar-
ent, and reports from various parts
of the state indicate a strong prob
ability that he will receive the NOM
ination.
Mr.. van Wyck was escorted over the
city today by Postmaster C. w. Col
Inns, and his agreeable presence won
friends for him who give promise of
bringing the party in the county to
his support.
Mr.. van Wyck has thus in part out
lined his doctrines:
81 find,"' said he, "a very general
feeling among California Democrats
that they are going to carry the next
state elections. The old Wilson and
Clark lines have been broken down
and general harmony prevails. But
on the other hand, find that the Re-
publicans are exceedingly hostile to
the Progressives and particularly to
Governor johnson, whom they regard
as responsible for the party split in
this state. l have met many Republi-
cans here and elsewhere who have told
me that they intend to vote for the
Democratic candidate for governor
solely because they want to be sure
that Governor Johnson will be de-
feated. They have repeatedly said
they did not care whether a man was
Progressive Democrat or not; what
they wanted was to beat Johnson.
81 also have found much dissatis-
faction with the governor among the
Progressives, on the ground that he
said he was going to break up machine
rule, but instead of doing this merely
substituted the most compact ma
chine Of his own that has ever been
seen in California. find in San Di-
ego particularly there is much criti-
cism of Governor Johnson for his
attitude during the l. w. w. diff
culties. Many Progressives here have
told me that because of the things
that he did-or rather the things
that he did not do-at that time, they
will never vote for him again.
81 find also that friends of Francis
J. Heney are suspicious of Johnson for
his failure to back Haney for the
senate. lam satisfied for all these
reasons that the next governor of
California will be a Democrat. Ex-
cept for three or four Democrats in
San Diego believe there is a general
opinion here that Democrat gov
ernor should come from the northern
part of the state, because of the large
Democratic vote there. Personally,
have been most cordially received.
81 stand for the short ballot in
state elections, also for a single
chamber state legislature to meet
three times annually, and to receive
adequate pay for it's work.
II consider it unnecessary for the
Legislature to be in session in order to
permit the introduction of a proposed
law. A bill should be proposed by
being filed with the clerk of the legis-
lature and copies furnished to all
legislators and other persons who
wish them.
"With legislature meeting three
times year no bill should be con-
sidered unless filed at least thirty days
before the beginning of the following
session, and no bill should be adopted
at the same session at which it was
originally proposed. This would make
the time necessary to pass bill five
months, instead of two years as at
present.

Mexico City, Dec. THE rebels are
sweeping everything before them in
their advance on the important cities
of the north and the principal ports
both on the Pacific and the Gulf of
Mexico.
1t is admitted officially that all the
efforts of the federal troops have
been baffled by the strategy of the
insurrectos, who have cut the rail-
road and telegraph communications
to such an extent that the govern
ment troops can scarcely move in a
concerted manner.
The rebels now hold all the north
ern border states. They are over
running the south and rapidly closing
on the state Of Mexico.
The fall of Tampico is momenta-
rily expected. The rebels have cap
tured Mazatlan, on the Pacific, and it
is believed that the government has
had official nave of the fall OF
Guaymas, the other important Pa
cific port. This would leave Vera
Cruz, on the gulf, and Salina Cruz
on the Pacific, as the only great
ports in the hands of the government
There is no news of General Rubio
Navaretto, the federal commander
who failed to prevent the capture OF
Victoria. It is believed that he and
his entire command were captured.
: That the Heurta government rec.
ognizes the serious nature Of the
rebel movement is evident by thu
manner in which it is trying to keer
news of rebel successes from the
public. Foreign correspondents were
informed that no news would bt
given to them unless they sent out
stories of federal triumphs.

Saturday tha, they would make a
successful effort to meet the demands
of the buyers. Nearly every stall
Saturday sold out all its produce, and
OF some products many times the
quantity available could have been
disposed OF. This was especially
true of poultry. eggs and dairy pro-
ducts, and OF most vegetables.
The market opened at seven
O'Clock, and from that hour TIL ten

and all day there was a steady stream
OF purchasers, the market not closing

done before ten. however, and varf-
