the President stated that his choice of
a candidate for that race was Hon.

Thereupon Mr.. Howard voluntarily

not run, but would support Mr.. Harris
because he was the Presidents choice

Presidents Choice For Harris

therein that the President expressed

LONDON IS STIRRED
BY FUEL SAVING
New Gas and Electricity Regula-
tons Fall Heavily on
HousehOlders.

The regulations regarding the re-
duction of the use of gas and cleo
tricity have caused considerable feel
ing in London among households US
ing these supplies for lighting and
cooking purposes. The effect of the
order has been to place the careful
person who has kept down her bills
in a more difficult position than her
neighbor who has been wasteful.
Many families in view of the coal
r%atiOning scheme have installed gas or
electricity for heating and warming
purposes, and they now find that I'M
der the conditions of the order these
appliances will be insufficient for their
needs.
The object Of the order was stated
as being the saving Of coal, but the
effect, especially in the middle-class
homes, viii be to rely more on the
coal fire for cooking and heating pur-
poses than the other means, and as a
result more coal will be burned.
The London traffic problem was
never in even a fair way of solution
until the American experts came over
and took the matter in hand some
years ago. But they succeeded in do
ing more than solving the problem Of
rapid transit-they taught the people
to use their systems, and the passen-
ger traffic of London has grown enor-
moUsly in consequence.
Today experts are needed more
than ever as the situation of London
traffic under the present condition goes
from bad to worse. The commander
ing by the military authorities has re-
duced the supply of motor %Omnibuses
to a mere dribble, while the saving Of
coal and electricity has caused the
withdrawal of many Of the surface
cars and The subway trains.
In consequence every vehicle IS
crowded, and to attempt to board
either train or car or bus during the
rush hours Is only a possibility for the
athlete.

Beginning in September the council
of national defense will begin an ac-
tive campaign to discourage the Civ
ing of Christmas gifts in order to cor
serve the labor Of the country, relieve
transportation and stimulate economy.
1t is considered of greatest impor-
lance that merchants should be ad-
vised of this plan Immediately, that
they may properly adjust their buying
to this end.
The statement of the council of ma
tional defense upon the matter is as
follows:
1.-The council of national defense
and advisory commission have re-
ceived inquiries as TO the attitude of
the government toward Christmas
buying. Manufacturers and merchants
are desirous to be advised at this
time in order in%telligently to plan for
their Christmas stocks. Therefore
the council and advisory commission
now that it is their belief
that Christmas giving, which involves
the purchase of gifts, should be dis
couraged as relieving to that extent
the present heavy burden placed upon
labor, transportation and other re-
sources of the nation, and also as be-
ing in harmony with the previous an
nouncement of the council and ad-
yisory commission urging thrift and
economy upon the country.
Although these principles involve
f~ar-reaching notifications in our
Christmas customs, they can be ac-
complished without impairing the es-
sential value of Christmas as an in
stitution.
I'm the meantime, manufacturers
and merchants should be notified re
garding the governments policy. in
order that they may plan their Christ
mas stocks with knowledge Of the
call which will later be made on the
general public"

GIVING PART OF
CALIFORNIA TO NEVADA

Under the caption of Us Califorr
Too Big a State" The Observer, a
magazine published at Oakland, runs
an editorial which favors the divis-
ion of the Golden State. Part of The
plan suggested only concerns the pcO-
pie of that state. but one suggestion
is of particular interest to Nevada.
The article is as follows:
"The activities of the Northern
California Counties Association has
called attention to the great eXpanse
OF the state and of the varied inter-
ests of one section as compared with
another. 1t has been claimed that
California is too big for practical gov
ernmental purposes. This condition
is most marked perhaps in state poll
tics, where the game has gotten to be
in a large degree the pitting of sec
ton against section, and there is in
both politics and industry too much
diversity and too little community of
interest. Already there have been
repeated proposals for the organiza-
ton of the southern counties in a
state by themselves and in the natur-
al course of events it will not seem
strange if similar talk is heard in the
north.
at was not long ago proposed in an
eastern magazine that all of Califor
MIA east of the crest of the Sierras
be given to Nevada and the rest of
the territory be made into three sep
arate states, California, Northern Cal
ifornia and Southern California; the
first to include the San Joaquin
valley and adjacent coast region, the
second to be composed of the Sacra-
mento valley and the territory to the
north and west and the third to take
in the areas south and southeast OF
the Tehachapi. Each of the first two
would make a state of the area and
resources of Pennsylvania, while the
last would be as large and eventually
as populous as Illinois. With such a
readjustment of state lines il is claim
ed that local government wauld be
more easily achieved and hat the Pa
cific coast would begin to have its
due voting strength in the United
States senate.
"The California-Nevada state line
is one of the most fragrant anomalies
in the state boundaries of the west,
nearly all of which have been drawn
on parallels of latitude and longitude
without regard to natural contour or
interests of the country. And curl
ously enough it was this Particular
interstate line that was cited by the
former Ambassador Bryce in his book
The American Commonwealth as an
exception to the ~senseless rule that
has been adopted in the western half
of the United States in the drawing
of state boundaries. Bryce said in
the early editions of his great work
that this line conformed to the
mountain range, which of course it
ought to do, whereas in fact it cuts
off a long narrow strip of territory
that belongs by the lay of the land
to Nevada and adds it to California,
from the rest of which it is separated
by a well nigh impossible barrier and
with which it has and can have moth
ing in common. If no other rectifi-
cation of boundary eros be made in
all the west, at least this one mistake
should be undone by the transfer of
this region to its rightful state allie
