SOME THINKS ABOUT BOLSHEVISM.
(Jay House in Topeka Capital)

(Jay House in Topeka Capltal)
| am a workingman. Except for the fact
that have, two or three times, engaged in bus
mess in a small way on my own account have
always been workingman. Doubtless l shall
always be one. l have been successfully farm
hand, railroad laborer, printer and reporter.
When the Boss, along in the early COS, quit his
job as reporter on the Capital and bought the
North Topeka Mail, was the editor and owner
of weekly newspaper printer in a small Kan
sas town. 1t was not highly prosperous busi-
ness, but | earned a good living from it and
probably could have cashed in at that time for
about as much money as the Boss. | had about
as good prospects. Since that time he has Gre
ated a very large business and has achieved great
success, both commercially and politically. | am
still reporter and have worked as such for the
past seventeen years.
Now, as matter of fact, l can write rings
around the Boss. | can make as good speech.
In most respects, | am as smart as he. But he
has achieved great success because he has some
thing haven't got. No form of government, no
sort of administration, no law which could have
been placed on the statute books, would have
SO eoualized things that | could have achieved
a success equal to his. He has it. | haven't it.
But in achieving this success he has done me no
injury, subjected me to no injustice. On the
other hand, he has treated men with great con-
slderation and fairness.
| make this point Tor the Deneflt OF the man
who believes success can be achieved through the
channels of class or friendly legislation. | have
learned at least two things in life. One is lit
tie sense and the other is that front is val
liable asset. The Missus has said that l can
come nearer looking and acting like millionaire
on hundred dollars than any other man she
ever knew, and take her observation as COM
pliment. | have learned sense enough to know
that no sort of government or legislation can
help the man who can't, or won't, help himself.
If have anything must work for it. So must
every other man.
mention these things because an attempt to
confer prosperity and ease by way of govern
ment is under way. That is the sum total of
Bolshevism. Bolshevism is the big issue in this
country. Don't let it catch you asleep in your
tracks.

of Cibola valley two weeks ago to
halt work on the elimination of a
big bend in the river opposite that
settlement Palo Verdes' levee board
engineer was erecting a levee that
would force the river to run straight
for mile, thereby correcting sew
en-mile bend. TIE suit was dissolved
and work will be resumed on the
levee next fall.
Contractor j. d. Donovan, who has
had large force of men and teams
at work on the disputed project, was
notified this week to cease work.
The flood waters are expected and
it is feared they would halt the levee
work before it could be completed
The commission proposed by Mr..
Allison would be asked to approve
the "best alignment of the Colorado
river for all concerned from Needles
to the south end Of Cibola valley"

ENGINEER ASKS
LEGISLATORS TO
DIVERT RIVER

State legislatures of California and
Arizona will be asked to approve
proposal to divert the mighty flood
caters of the Colorado river into
new and safe channel, according to
pans outlined this week by j. G..
Allison, chief engineer of the Palo
Verde joint levee district, says the
Blythe Herald.
Engineer Allison has just returned
from Phoenix, where his suggestion
t. correct the course of the Colorado
on a straight line between Needles
and Palo Verde valley met with the
enthusiastic approval of engineers
there.
AS the Colorado river is defined
as the boundary line between Cali
fornia and Arizona in both state con-
stitutions, it will be necessary to
have the legislatures of both states
approve the contemplated work. Mr..
Allion stated that Governor Camp
bell will be asked to sponsor bill
asking for river commission to
meet with a California commission,
while "a similar bill will be presented
at Sacramento by Palo Verde valley
men.
Plans for the river commissions
developed this week as the result Of
an injunction suit filed by residents

LOWELL on THE LEAGUE.

Once more it is pertinent to quote the STIR
ring lines of James Russell Lowell written on
the occasion Of another great turning point in
American history:
"We occasions teach; new duties time makes
ancient good uncouth;
They must upward STILL and onward, who would
keep abreast Of truth"
And along with them those noble words that
Tennyson puts in the mouth of the dying Sir
Arthur:
"The old order changeth, yielding place to new
And God fulfills himself in many ways,
Lest on good custom should corrupt the world"
These is no question that either of those cOur-
ageous and cear-sghted poets would say of the
present crisis They would urge all Americans
and all Brltons along with all forward-looking
men everywhere, to disregard blind reverence
for past that solved it's own problems in its own
radical" way, and do the same with our own
problems, trusting our own judgment for the
new time as our fathers trusted theirs for the
oden time.

tudes. On its rapid vaporization alone
must often depend the lives Of the men
in the aeroplane. This gasoline would
not DC good for general use. It would
lack power On the ground, its loss in
storage by evaporation would be great,
and it would be expensive.
Making aviation gasoline for the
Government took a very considerable
part Of the low boiling point Or highly
volatile constituents Of the crude oil,
and, as result, the gasoline left avail
able for regular use lacked those quail
ties which assure easy starting Of the
automobile engine.
The Governments demand for avi.,
alton gasoline reached its maximum ir
the late fall OF 1913, and then for peri.
cd of about six weeks the deficiency Of
Red Crown gasoline in low boiling
point constituents or sasy starting
qualities was most apparent.
Now that the war is won and the
great demand for aviation gasoline has
ceased, we are again able to offer the
same grade of Red Crown gasoline as
formerly, with the same full and con-
tinuous chain of boiling points-from
the low to the lligh-wl1ichis necessary
for easy starting, quick and smooth
acceleration, high power and long
mileage.
Imperial Valley press., 1919-03-27

Highly volatile gasoline for fighting
aeroplanes was one of the war needs.
The output of this special gasoline by
all the rehneries east Of the Rocky
Mountains was not enough, SO Califor-
MIA was called upon to furnish large
part of the supply. At the request Of
the United States Government the Pc
ciic Coast Petroleum War Service
Committee apportioned California's
quota among such Of the large rc.iners
as were able to make this special gaso-
line
The Standard Oil Company, being
the largest of these, had the greatest
quota to fill. We were glad to do our
part We supplied more than our quo
ia of aviation gasoline.
Aeroplane engines, operating lllgi4 in
the air under conditions of extreme
cold and rarefed atmosphere, require
different gasoline from engines operat-
ing on the ground. II, fact, the needs
are so special that the gasoline manu-
factured for aeroplane use Gotten used
at attitudes of from 10000 to $4,000
feaD would be utterly Indifferent fer
use in automobile or other internal
combustion engines operated on land
or sea.
Aviation gasoline has to be highly
volatile. 1t must vaporize rapidly even
in the extreme cold of very high alti-

SENATE COMMITTEE
FAVORS S24O RAISE

Government workers were prac-
tically assured of a $24O increase
above their basic salaries in the next
fiscal year by the action today of the
Senate subcommittee in charge Of the
legislative bill.
The subcommittee agreed to report
favorably to the full committee the
increase of $40 already agreed to
by the House. The full committee
will take the matter up Friday, and
is expected to agree to It. Moreover,
il is probable the Senate will concur
in the committee action, though an
effort will be made on the floor to
increase the amount of the added pay
to $500.
Bureau of War Risk Insurance Is
given the beneft of the increase by
the Senate subcommittee.
The Senate subcommittee also pro-
vided for the equalization of in
creases, so that workers who have
already had increases granted them
will have those taken into account
in reckoning the amounts to which
they are entitled.
The increase applies up to and in
Guiding those whose basic pay is
$1,000. Postal employees are not treat
ed in this provision, as they are cared
for in the postoffice bill. Nor does
it apply to the railway and telephone
and telegraph employees.
The increase of $240 applies to the
District of Columbia employees and
the teachers in the public schools of
the District.

Major Beth, veteran OF the Ypres

pleted three times in battle. was with
the American troops in the Argonne
forest and saw them in action against
the Hun at close range.
When asked what he efound the
characteristics OF the American fight

derful initiative and goes right into

daring. carrying everything.
II say that they are inexperienced,

of the present war. The experience

Fresh, keen troops charge with great
bravery right in the open with no
attempt at concealments while the
older soldier takes advantage Of every

The American army was just de-
veloping into a tremendous fighting
machine when the armistice was sign
ed. The Americans were just begin
