tire west. And yet no one would be
foolish enough to contend that such a
trip is not legitimate campaign ex-
pense.
For all practical purposes, however,
it doesn't matter how much a cam
paign costs. 1t is the source of the
money and the means to which it is
put that may cause reason for mis-
giving or criticism. And the sena-
torial probe failed to bring to light
the slightest basis for suspicion in
either of these matters.
So far as the average person is
concerned, no amount of the money
that Republicans might expend this
fall to insure the overturn of the
Democratic administration will be
looked upon as excessive. Consider
ing that billions that have been wasted
and the fact that the United States
treasury continues to show, month by
month, an alarming increase in ma
tional indebtedness, and that economy
in government is vital requirement
if this nation is to live, can there be
any doubt that few millions spent
in ousting a wasteful power may be
real economy?

NOT TOO MUCH.

Like every other political sensation,
Cox's charges of excessive campaign
expenditures have had their day for
sensationalism and are passing into
history. Conclusion Of the senatorial
investigation and elapse of few days
permits thoughtful consideration of
the entire unheavel and which only
clinches conclusions formerly reached
that Cox made assertions he could not
support with facts. On the whole,
the situation must be summarized
simply as case of sour grapes. Both
parties need money for conducting a
campaign. 1t is essential to present
their candidates and policies to the
voting public of this country. The
Republican party, either through
greater popularity or better manage
ment, obtained larger amounts of
campaign funds than the Democrats
could dig up. And the Democrats
promptly cried Corruption"
Tuesday in Namp4 Cox raised his
sights little. He now says that Re-
publicans are preparing a campaign
fund of Is or 80 millions of dollars.
OF course, in view of the facts ascer-
tanned at Chicago, such charges are
mere twaddle. Something more in
teresting and concrete might have
been presented if Mr.. Cox had given
his hearers some idea of the amount
and source of the funds he was ex-
pending on this trip through the en-

NOT UP TO STANDARD.

Cox was a disappointment. For a
man who has been chosen to lead his
party for the greatest honor America
has in her power to bestow, Cox fails
to measure up to the standard, in the
opinion of almost everyone who heard
him in Caldwell Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Cox seems bent and determined
that he will reduce the presidential
campaign to a par with ward politics.
Cries of big business" intermingled
with corruption and rotten politics
that should be far beneath the dignity
of any man who seeks the presidency
freely flowed from Mr.. Cox's lips.
Evidently he must have forgotten that
to so brazenly accuse the Republican
party of all the political evils under
the sun must have some reflection
among Democrats.
And Cox did not entirely confine
himself to exact statements of fact,
particularly in reference to the league
of nations. He deplored the fact that
the nation is still theoretically at war.
We all do that. He charged that the
oligarchy of United States senator's
is responsible. And we all gree that
the senate is largely responsible. But
Mr.. Cox forgot to mention that to Mr..
Wilson once was given an opportunity
to give this nation peace with an
Americanized peace treaty and league
covenant And Mr.. Wilson refused.
Must the senate, then, stand alone the
rock upon which the ship of peace
was wrecked? ~
Mr.. Cox could not have been in
formed when he appealed to former
service men asking that they COM
plete by means of votes cast for him
the work they had so we'll begun in
Europe. Mr.. Cox could not know and
no one thought to inform him that
among all the veterans OF the World
war in this vicinity, Mr.. Cox could
not scare up handful to support the
league of nations in any form, much
less the un-Americanized model con-
structed at Wilson's dictation in
France. f$t
Mr.. Cox touched the high water
mark of his address when he pledged
that some portion of the money now
going for ornaments would, in the
event of his election, be devoted to
reclamation of the arid west. Money
for one battleship will build five Ar.
row Rocks. Battleships live for years,
Arrow Rock will endure for centuries.
But did Mr.. Cox tell you why his col
leagues, the Democrats now in power
in Washington, have not carried out
this wise policy? Does Mr.. Cox for
one moment believe that any league of
nations is going to permit to any
greater degree the disarmament of
the world than will The Hague
Tribunal with teeth in it," as pro-
posed>Sy Mr.. Harding? Does Mr..
Cox believe that simply because the
United States ;s>aot a member of the
league of nations whs2 almost every
other country is a partner in the
dream for world peace preservation
that it is essential for the Democratic,
administration to spend unparalleled
sums for army and naval prepared
nessi Does Mr. Cox believe that just
because the United States does not

It is necessary for this country to arm

policy would indicate?

| LAUNCH DRIVE
TO MAKE STATE
BONDS SALEABLE

E. Z. Patch, division engineer of
the state highway commission, was
before the board of supervisors yes
terday to urge upon them the urgency
of taking up the circulation of the
initiative petitions bv which the state
hopes to make it's S40,0 100000 worth
of highways bonds saleable.
The petitions are to place propo-
sition upon the November ballot to
make the bonds saleable and relieve
all counties of future state highway
bond interest.
According to Engineer Patch, I'M
perial county will be one of those af-
fected, as this county is now paying
interest on approximately S45O,OOO
worth of state highway bonds. The
county has still about 100 miles of
state road to be built, which at pres
ent prices will increase the amount
upon which the county would be re-
quired to pay interest by two and a
half millions.
There is need for prompt action, be-
cause July IA is the last day upon
which petitions may be filed with
county clerks for verfication, and
there is, therefore, only about one
weeks time in which to secure the 49,
coo signatures necessary to guaran-
tee that the measure will get on the
November ballot.
The committee in charge of secur-
ing the names is depending upon the
active cooperation of all the CONNER
cial organizations of the state and
various boards of supervisors. The
work must be voluntary because there
are no funds available to pay paid
solicitors. This is a movement by the
people to make the bonds recently is
sued by them with vote of seven to
one, salable on the market. so that
| their state highway system may be
completed, and counties relieved OF
the unequal tax burden at present inn
posed by law, requiring counties to
pay interest upon all highway con-
struction within their boundaries.
Unless the required number of sig
natures are secured and the measure
garfield in November, all state high
way work must cease until the bond
market will absorb A Ha per cent bond
at par, and the counties must continue
to carry the interest burden which in
some counties, is as great as AZ cents
upon the 500 valuation. Furthermore
| failure to proceed will deprive the
state of al least $1,000. 900 federal aid
road funds allotted to California, pro-
viding the state is able to match 81
for 81, and proceed with construction
Therefore every interest in the state
and every individual is vitality interest
ed in seeing the initiative petition get
on the ballot, and should make spe-
cial effort to place his name upon one
of the initiative petitions before

HACKETT WINNER
IN SATURDAYS
SPEED CONTEST

/ Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock
there were about 1900 people at the
Ell Centre race tracks to see the first
auto races which have been held in
this city for many years. There were
seven entrees, which were: No. l,
Curley Brumbley with an Essex; No
2, Paul De Palma with a Dodge; No.
3, Guy Crawford in Mercer; No. A.,
Fred Cross in a Ford; No. 5, Smith in
Trumble; No. 6, Fred Hackett in an
Overland; No. I, Jim Mealy in a
Dodge.
At the start Hackett was in the
sixth place, but he gradually gained
until at the fourth lap he led. When
he came around the north turn at 81
miles an hour he blew out tire, slid
ing all over the north end of the
track. Hackett lost five laps while
changing a tire, but he started again
and was in third place. when No. Z,
which was in second place, tried to
pass Brumbly in the Essex on the
wrong side and was crowded off the
track. After this, accident Hackett
passed all the others and won first
place. Guy Crawford in the Mercer
won second place and Curly Brumbley
in the Essex won third place. The big
thrill of the race was when Jim Mealy
and his mechanic Guy Evans went off
the track at approximately so miles an
hour and turned over into the trash
grounds near the north end. Both
Mealy and Evans were badly smashed
up, Mealy having both legs broken
and several ribs broken and numerous
cuts and scratches. Evans suffered
from smashed hip and other injuries.
1t is thought by many that if the
Dodge driven by Mealy had not been
wrecked that he would have captured
a place in the race, as he was gaining
eteadily on the leaders.
The winning car was an Overland
Four, equipped wholly with Fisk tires
and held in stock by the DaviesOver-
land Auto Co. of FL Centro, The first
prize was $500. The time for the race
was 25 miles in SO minutes, which Is
exceedingly good time considering the
condition and size of the track.
The local police force is to be com
mended for the splendid way in which
they kept absolute order and for the
lack of accidents among the specta-
tors. The crowds were kept far
enough back to insure their safety
from the racing cars and so that they
could all see the race. The size OF
the crowd was remarkably large con-
sidering the time of year.

WHEN IT is HOT

Consider Mr.. Shadrach,
Of fiery furnace fame:
He didn't bleat about the heat
Or fuss about the flame.
He didn't stew and worry,
and get his nerves in kinks,
Nor fill his skin with lines and gin
And other cooling drinks
Consider Mr. Meshach,
Who felt the furnace, too:
He let it sizz, nor oueried rs
It hot enough for you?"
He didn't mop his forehead,
And hunt shady spot;
Nor did he say. Gee, what day!
Believe me, it's some hot!"
Consider. too. Abed-nego,
Who shared his comrades plight:
He didn't shake his coat and make
Himself holy sight.
He didn't wear suspenders
Without a coat and vest;
Nor did he scowl and snort and how
And make himself a pest.
Consider, friends, this trio
How little fuss they made.
They didn't curse when it was worse
Than ninety in the shade.
They moved about serenely
Within the furnace bright,
And soon forgot that it was hot,
With mo relief in sight"

An Everlasting Foghorn.
From the Chicago News.

When specific ventures in propaganda acquire permanence they
become a danger. When that permanence is based on $lOOOO,O00 to
promote a debatable thesis the venture is socially menacing. Regard
less of its nature, specific and endowed propaganda is adverse to our
democracy, it is a method whereby wealth may be used to magnify
enormously one citizens opinion. 1t propagates this opinion not
alone for a lifetime but for the duration Of civic life.
Of this enormous though indirect increase in voting power of one
man there is an example in the Carnegie endowment for international
peace. Well meaning though the founders intention may have been,
this $40 900 does in effect give Nh. Carnegie personal opinion an
enduring prestige, a huge value denied to equally valid opinions of his
fellow citizens. Ten million dollars, acquired in ways not related to
international peace, give him a advantage in this debate which is
unfair to our self governing republic. Regardless of time and circum-
stance, this mighty %$10,000y000 will work, unchanging and I'M
changeabe.

idea like the social projects of other wealthy but unframed men, was
accidental. In all enthusiasm of his later life he chose it, a pink shell

Whereas the impassioned prophecies of Theodore Roosevelt will
