AGAINST COMMUNITY TREE
Communicated

The Community Christmas tree in
this city last year was an innovation,
and for that reason no one made d
public protest. The papers publish
ed it a success and Wednes sday nights
Appeal repeated the assertion. But
was it success. and in what way?
The night was so cold the band
could not play out of doors and tine
exercises were lost to all but the few
who were sheltered in the capitol en-
trance and corridors. Many glanced
at the lighted trees and hurried away.
They and all who saw the grief and
heard the expressions OF the little
ones as they went up and down the
streets, declared the whole thing a
fizzle" The churches having given
way to something new no other
entertainments were given during the
holidays last year to make up 70"

Austria consul at San Francisco, is

What the sun Is opposing is the
plan fathered by Assemblyman Alvey
Of Riverside county, and supported by
Senator King. 10 extend the road be
yond Brawlcy through the Mammoth
Wash instead of through the lmpe-
rial valley. And it will continue to
oppose that, because it is nothing less
than a shame to pretend to build u
link in a transeontinental highway,
and avoid the finest agricultural dis
trict in California, in favor of a sand
wash.
BY the Facts own argument, San
Diego will not specially benefit by the
shorter route, ON account of the
Grades. The Sun supports the stand
taken by Assemblyman Wills, him
self a resident of Brawey. who says
the greatest good to the greatest
number" and on that Ground opposes
the Mammoth Wash route.

NOT FOR SAN DIEGO,
But FOR ~ ERN BODl

san Bernardino Sun: If the support
of the proposed Mammoth Wash route
to Yuma we're more direct with those
of us who do not agree with them,
their cause would get more consider
alton. The Redlands Facts, in lieu
of a reply to the Suns argument and
the report of the state highway en-
gineers. asks "Why for San Diego :?
intimating that the Sun is opposing
the Yuma road leading out Of this
valley toward the Imperial valley.
/ That is as far from accurate as could
be imagined. And because It Is IN
accurate we suspect the Mammoth
Wash route is very short ON genuine
argument.
The Sun propOSes-and demands
that reasonable compromise he
worked out between the supporters Of
the two routes, which will serve each
OF them equally we'll And that route
is along well defined lines, from Nu-
ma to Holtville and FL Centric, thence
branching north and west, the San
Bernardiuo valley and to San Diego.
That gives nobody any advantage, it
is the shortest to each point. and II
is not selfish. The Mammoth Wash
route is wholly selfish.
Continuing, the Facts observes:
There is a good chance Of getting
the money for the distance between
Mecca and Brawley il the people in
this section are united and work har-
moniously for It. But the chance
Of getting the appropriation is great
ly lcssened by the attitude of the SuH
and those others, if there are any
who damn the local enterprise by tain'
praise and incidentally give aid and
comfort to the enemy.
Every argument is in favor Of the
road to Brawley. There can be ne
doubt that the future of the freirht-
ing business out of the Imperial Val
ley will largely be with automobile
trucks. Over a level road. without Sc
rious grade at any point they can
run down into San Bordnaldino coun-
tv and on 10 Los Angeles. The auto
mobile truck can never operate TO ad-
vantage out Of FL Ccntro to San Die
ro because Of the pfohjbitive GRADES
Of coarse. the road between FL Cen
tro and San Diego will he built any
way. That is = part of the state
highway system"
Which is largely beside the point
