COMMISSIONERS MAY
ADVERTISE COUNTY
CONSIDER ADVISABILITY OF MAX
ING A DISPLAY AT SAN
DIEGO FAIR

A. E. Keller, Jr., commissioner of
publicity of the San Diego exposition,
appeared before the board of county
commissioners this morning and asked
that San Miguel county follow the
example of many of the counties of
the state and other states in the
southwest by making an appropriation
for display at the fair next year.
The commissioners listened to Mr.
Koehler with much interest, and de-
cided to look into the state of the
funds available for such purposes be-
fore answering. That the board will
make as large an appropriation as lies
in its power is a foregone conclusion.
The commissioners, both as a board
and individually, expressed themselves
heartily in sympathy with the expo
sition and the opportunity to adver-
tise the county to such good adyant-
age.
AT the last regular meeting of the
commissioners a petition was pre-
sented asking that the board take
some action regarding road in "Up-
per Town." which, it is claimed in
the petition. is public road, but
which has been, closed by residents
The petition sets forth that the road
is needed for. travel and prays the
board to reopen it to the public. After
hearing Mr. Koehler the board ad-
journed until o'clock this afternoon
for the purpose of making a trip to
the seat of the road-war to investi-
gate the situation before taking final
action.
There were many routine matters
that the board expected to take up
in its later session this afternoon, and
it is said that an adjournment will
have to be taken until tomorrow, at
which time, probably as soon as the
board meets. the tax levy for the com
ing fiscal year win be made
1t is authoritatively said that the
levy will show a substantial reduction

ENGLAND is "CALLED"

It would appear that China has
called" England in a way that will
1. mand one Of two things: action or
careful explanation.
Here, England" says China, you
went to war to preserve the neutrality
of Belgium, if one may believe the as
sertions of your statesmen Now
your ally, Japan, is violating Chinese
neutrality, over my protest, in an eff
fort to defeat the German forces in
Teutonic leased territory within my
borders. To be consistent and make
tho world believe you were sincere
in your action as regards Belgium,
you must make your ally cease vio-
lating my neutrality"
1t will be interesting to peruse Eng
lands answer.
Despite undoubted German influ-
ence, al none too great love for Eng
land and a deep-seated resentment
against Japan, poor old China appar-
emily has been trying to give every
body concerned a square deal. Wheth-
er she will fight to preserve her neu-
trality, or will be able to accomplish
sanything if she does go to war re
mains to be seen.

It is believed that the use of cleo
tricity will increase 40 or 80 per cent
as the result of the change in rates.
Every consumer will be able TO use
more than at present and at the same
cost. Electricity is placed within the
reach of everybody and can be used
for all purposes cheaply. The Light
and Power company is making this
reduction in spite of the fact that the
cost of production of electricity is
greater than at any other time in the
history of the plant
The new rate is manifestly fair, in
putting business houses and resi-
denees on the same rate, Mr.. South
ard believes, as a saving is effected
for both classes of consumers.
Since coming here over two years
ago. Mr.. Southard has been anxious
to make it possible for housewives to
use more electricity, as it is the
cleanest, handiest agent for house
hold work that is known. He sug-
gested a special rate for household
uses other than lighting, and the Fed
eral company, after having its en-
gineers and accountants work on the
matter, announced the new rate
Mr. Southard invites all customers
of the plant to call at his office or
telephone him and he will give fur
tier information regarding the new
rate

There is nothing new in the
finding of a Wisconsin commit
tee that liquor is the greatest
cause of vice. The only question
in the past has been whether
liquor caused vice or vice caus-
ed liquor. Perhaps those
exempt from evil have regarded
their action as rotary or recip-
rocating; they caused each other.
The really surprising thing is
that the Badger legislators have
found other causes of wayward-
ness and wrongdoing. Promi-
nent among these is the auto
mobile, and presumably it is to
be put on the prohibition list
along with alcohol. Dance halls
and dark nights and irresponsi-
bleparents are also discovered or
rediscovered. There is to be a
flood of legislation to abolish all
these things. 1t never occurs to
any one that it is rather a large
sized task to make the world
over in a single session of the
legislature.-New York Sun.
