BILL PASSED BY
lEG|SLA

The following, clipped from the Sec
ramento Bee, will be of interest to
Valley ranchers:
1.-The Irwin Irrigation Bill, over
which there was bitter fight in both
Senate and Assembly Committees on
Irrigation, showed uneXpec cted
strength when the final vote was
reached yesterday afternoon in the
Assembly, and was pasesd, 81 to Ia.
This bill. A. B. No. 493, by Irwin,
provides that irrigation districts may
! be formed by majority vote of the
residents of the proposed district.
instead of by two-thirds vote, as
at present
Claim Private Interests.
! Opponents of the measure claimed
it was introduced at the behest of
the Crccker-Huffman Land and Irri-
cation Company, that it might saddle
| tiquated and inadequate irrigation
system. Those who favored the bill
asserted it was intended onl" to make
districts and to break up large land
holdings.
Guy Windrem of Merced county,
handling the BILL pointed out the
MADEIRA and Merced counties, and
said that many irrigation districts
could and would have been formed
|if this bill had been law.
Gebhart Heads Fight.
Lee Gebhart. leading the fight
against the bill, claimed it was in
tended to help only the Crocker- Huff
man interests; that it was intro
duced for that specific purpose; that
it was time to stop legislating for
private corporations.
Clarence w. Morris said that bonds
voted by such companies could not
be sold, and Carlton w. Greene said
that by introducing such a bill is
not the proper way to go about
breaking up large land-holdings.
Bunk" Says Locks.
w. J. Locke termed the statement
of Morris that bonds could not be
sold as bunk" and read list show
ing that all other quasi-municipali.
ties, such as drainage districts, water
districts, etc, were formed by ma
jority vote.
J. Stanley Brown said it was the
little man against the big man
and that if such legislation were not
passed there would be no land for
the soldiers to get. Clifton f. Brooks
quoted former State Bank Superin- |
tendent w. R. Williams to show the |
bonds would be salable.
The discussion, as usual, took a |
wide range and, despite the fact that |
less than twenty of the 211 bills on
the calendar had been passed, de-
voted two hours and half to the
measure.

GASOLINE BOILING
| MUST CONSTITUTE A
I CONTINUOUS CHAIN

Every motorist wants only sucl
gasoline as will give EASY starting
and full power. Really efficient per
formance can only be had from gas
olne with full and continuous chain
of boiling points.
Lew boiling points give easy start
ing and high boiling points, full pow
er. The low boiling points start the
explosions quickly The gradually
rising series of boiling points form
the connecting links between the high
er and the lower. just like q fuse,
giving ever-increasing power and
force to the explosion.
With both high and low boiling
points connected by a gradually ris.
ing series, everything needed in good
gasoline is nroduced.
Red Crown is a well known straight
distilled gasoline with the full and
continuous chain of boiling points
necessary to give best results. Min
lures always have holes in the power
chain.

QUESTION CASES
OVER BOUNDARY
LINE UNSETTLED
(By Associated Press)

Laredo, Texas, April 29.-Whether
Mexican cities along the boarder will
become Gases for international
drinkers" when America adopts pro-
hibition in July, has ont been deter
mined, despite some leanings in
this direction.
A movement recentl'' was started
to have passport restrictions removed,
throw open the international bridge
and run weekend excursion trains in
to Mexico. 1t was proposed to es-
tablish big gambling houses, cockpits,
bull rings and pretentious drinking
emporiums. American business men
vigorously protested on the ground
that the trains passing through Amer
lean towns would bring only repu-
tation for lawlessness.
The Mexican government has not
indicated its attitude in the matter
and seems disposed to let the liquor
problem solve itself. Local officials
are represented as not wishing to de-
ny their citizens profits that Ameri-
can prohibition might bring.
Mexican cantineros have thrived in
lie year that Texas cities have been
dry under the Texas military zone
law. Passport regulations permit
! persons living within ten miles OF the
border to pass from one country to
the other on local permit. Many
American residents visit Mexican
towns daily to obtain drink. Ameri-
can authorities have prevented SNUG
Cling of liquor into the United States.
Medical authorities predict that un-
restricted border traffic will have a
serious effect on the army's cam
paign against disease.
All suspicious visitors from Mex
leo are searched by customs officers
for contraband liquor. AS a result
of this strict supervision. nescal, a
highly Intoxicating Mexican drink
that formerly sold for 80 cents a
quart, now brings $40 a quart here
when obtainable from illegal dealers.

That is not the question, whether 1t is

whether 1t is anarchistic." objected Mr..

! II suppose It is anarchistic to say
bread and butter is good for the human

J tic replied Mr.. Lucking.
Are those sentiments common to
other thinkers?" asked Mr.. Lucking,
kchanging this subject
The stock sentiments of many social
PHILOSOPHERS and most religions, notably
J the Christian religion" replied tn.
Bishop.
. THE two main principles of the Chris
tan religion are the fatherhood of God
and the consequent brotherhood of all
mankind. They are summed up in the
! two commandments. Thou shall love thy
God with all thy soul and strength and
Thou shall loye thy neighbor as thy
! self When Jesus was asked to define
! neighboNto the Jews, he pointed out the
man who'was furthest to him nationally,
the Samaritan. st. Paul says, There
! is neither Dew nor Greek, barbarian nor
I Scythian, bond nor free, but all are one
, in Christ Jesus"
: ITS that tho fundamental of those ex-
cerpts of Mr.. Ford's?"
This brought a discussion that covered
several pages of court transcript. Mr..
Lucking Pfocseded to another quotation.
Men in authority have wanted more
authority and. being stupid have seen no
way of getting it except by violently
seizing it, state whether or not there

y Anarchism.
LITTLE OF PATRIOTISM

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, July 25.-
Bishop Charles d. Williams of the
Protestant Episcopal diocese Of Mich
igan proved to be an interesting wit
ness in the Ford Chicago Tribune
libel suit to-day. He was called as a
Ford witness to offset the expert tes-
timony given by Prof. Jesse Reeves Of
the University of Michigan several
weeks ago, who compared the writings
OF Mr. Ford with those of famous and
well known anarchists both Vast and
present.
Bishop Williams's testimony was
meant to show that the ideas Of Mr..
Ford were not, to the degree which
Prof. Reeves claimed, in harmony with
those o. the followers of anarchism.
About the first question asked by At
torney Lucking was:
What is an anarchist? And his answer
'One who believes in and advocates and
works for the abolition of government
and property; one who seeks those ends
by violence or force"
What is the derivation Of the word =?
i)narchism7"
Two Greek words. The letter "a
which is a privative, and 'archos,' which
Sneans government. Anarchism means
without government"
From your reading and knowledge OF
the subject is-fhere some well defined,
definite. principle without the belief in
which a man cannot be an anarchist
This was ruled out.
Mr.. Lucbdng then selected expressions
attributed to Henry Ford which Prof.
Reeves had identified with those of anar-
chists and asked II they were peculiarly
anarchlstic- Mr.. Stevenson objected that
the question was not in direct rebuttal
of Prof. Reeves. The first expression
cited contained the sentences:
"World citizenship, that is the thing
for us to teach World patriotism, that
Is the thing We want to glorify. That
sort Of teaching will do more for the
world than all the religious teaching has
ever done?"
