POSITION NIT
 FOR WOMEN

Warrenton, Oregon, Jan. 12-"I have reached the conclusion that mayorships are not positions for women. I will not state my reasons not wishing to become involved in controversies with those who believe differently, but they appear good and sufficient to me"
 This was the statement of Miss Clara Cynthia Munsen, who on Jan uary l, r"tired to private life after enjoying for one year tho distinction of being the only woman mayor in the West. George Schmitz, a mere man, succeeded her. Miss Munsen' s constituency was more than sat-s- fled with her administration but she could not be induced to make the race for reelection. Although my term in office was pleasant in the extreme, and the city council ov- CT which presided, treated me with the greatest respect, no persuasion could make me take an office again. l refused even to run for the city council.
 q had no trouble whatever dur ing my term, not even with the liquor interests. I am not a believ- CT in prohibition as it is being hand led today, and did not believe it in accordance with the laws of the city, county and state. When the gov rrnment sewers it's partnership with the liquor interests by refusing to is sue licenses then, and only then will prohibition prohibit"
 While she was mayor, Miss Nun sen acted as city attorney and chief of police also, having dispensed with the services of those dignitarics as soon as she assumed crfice. The money thus saved was used for civic improvements. She was not, however, called on to make any ar rests. When in need of legal advice Miss Munsen appealed u the Mayor of Astoria. Miss Munsen spent her girlhOod and young womanhood in "a lighthouse on the Oregon coast, and her knowledge of political af- fairs, which is quite extensive, was gained through discussions with her father during the long periods whe the beacon was isolated by storms.
 "The time I spent in the mayor atty chair was not altogether with out its compensation, concluded Miss Munsen, flor during that time I received nearly a score of mar riage proposals from men as re- suit of the publicity given my being the only Western woman mayor"

GOVERNER'S AN-
 NUlL MESSAGE

Washington. D. C., Jan. 12-Gov- ernor Strong's first annual report to President Wilson has been received. He says that the government should build the railroads in Alaska. He does not believe that private capital can afford to construct the roads and rair for the development of the territory's resources to furnish ton mage without charging very high rates which in turn serve to re tard the development. With gov ernment ownership and operation of the roads an impetus would be giv- en mining properties along the road which would cause branch lines to be constructed by private capital.
 Governor Strong also recommends that the Chugach forest reservation be abolished and reports that en- tirely too much land had been ap- propriated by the forestry depart ment The restrictions of the ser vice has made it so difficult for min CTS and others to secure permits that they have used outside lumber in preference to the home product. He also recommends that the Aleu- tiau islands reservation be reduced in size.
 The report recOmmneds that i'm mediate steps should be taken to conserve the fishing resources of the Alaskan waters. He believes the use of fish traps should be reg ulated. Hatcheries, under govern meut supervision should be estab- lshed at various points along the coast. That more fish inspectors be employed as the number at present are not adequate for the purpose.
 The governor believes that the telegraph and cable tolls for private business are eXorbitauc and should be reduced.
 Th2t some method be devised whereby the Indians could get uLle to their lands is also urged. The Indians are fast b,iug crowded from the bays where they have caught their supply of fish il, the past. The Indians are without recourse when their fishing grounds are ap- prOpriated by canneries and other private concerns.
 Mere lighthouses should be built along the Alaskan coast and larger appropriations for this purpose should be made at the earliest pos sible time.
 The report also shows that while the production of gold from the pIa- cers has fallen off during the year that gold bearing lodges have been developed in many parts of the ter ritOry and that the output from this source will soon reach a high figure annually. The production of copper has Increased and many copper pro

SOME THINGS SAID BY
HARRISON OTIS FREDERICKS S

San Francisco, Oct. S.-FrederickS
saws the death blow was dealt the
Southern Pacific political machine N
1909, under Gov. Gillett, when the leg
islatare passed law prohibiting rail
load passes. Two years later, when
the present railroad commission was
organized. one OF the first steps was
to make inquiry about passes to favor
shippers and politicians and it was
found that more than 100000 of them
were in use on the Southern Pacific
alone.
Fredericks says the Regulation
Act of 1909 brought about the control
Of public utilities that has been so dis
tinctive an achievement of the john
son administration He is unable to
point to one important step under that
law during the two years that elapsed
until Johnson became governor and
the new sweeping act was passed
through which such signal service has
teen rendered to the people of Cali
fornia.
Al g banquet in Los Angeles, last
January, Fredericks denounced the
"fads and fancies" and ''freakish leg
islation" of the present administra-
ton. Just as he has been favored by
the necessities of the campaign to de-
clare himself in favor of the railroad
commission, he has now embraced the
Workmen's Compensation. He's for
it now, strong, he says.

acterizes his press agents, who, for
cxarlrle, increased the size of his Red

carry out the highway act and pro-
ceed under the $1S,00O,000 bond issue,
which were handed down to him from
the preceding administration, world
wide financial depression made sale OF
the bonds impossible. The highway
commission opened negotiations with
the counties of the State to help take
the bends and has done a tremendous
service in the success of these endeav
ors, which have made possible the
carrying out of large part of the
highway plans.
Fredericks says the State roadways
are "disintegrating." This is pure
falsehood.
Fredericks says he is in favor of the
entire scheme of progressive legisla-
ton. Challenged to specify what law
he would repeal or what commission
he would abolish, he has said there
was zone. He is for the railroad
commission, for the Workmen's Com
pensation, for the Eight Hour Law
for Women, and all the rest of them.
In the next breath he says capital
has teen driven from California be-
cause of radical legislation. He
reaches the heights of absurdity when
he points as proof to the water and
initiation of capitalizations of new cor
poration filings in the office of the
secretary of State as having decreased
under Governor Johnson. Against this
idle record, in which hundred dollars
Of actual investment frequently rep
resents million of capitalization, IS
the remarkable showing of $366,000,-
COO of actual Investment in stocks and
bonds in California under approval of
the railroad commission during the
last two years.
California securities are in demand
because the control by the railroad
commission gives an assurance
against "high finance" and looting.
Even with the tightness of money the
world over, capital has come into CAY
ifornia in larger quantities than ever
before
Fredericks is preaching hard times
and blaming Governor Johnson for
them. Governor Gillett must there
fore have been responsible for the
panic of 1907, Governor Markham for
the stringency of 1898, and Governor
Booth for the pinch in 1878.
While Fredericks is crying calamity
and trying to start panic, the lead
ing financial men are giving assur-
ances that fundamentally everything
is all right and that California is en-
joying better conditions than any
ether spot on earth.
