Miss Olvella Wilson Pupil of
Mrs. Marie Jenkins Gives Recita

The main auditorium of the Chris
tion church was well filed Monday
evening at the recital given by Miss
Orvella Wilson, talented young violin
ist Of Ell Centro. Miss Wilson was as
sisted by Prof. Elmer A. Todd and
Mrs. Marie Jenkins, the three making
up a group of rare talent seldom as
sembled on one program. The duet
numbers by Mrs. Jenkins and Miss
Wilson were especially charming,
while the organ numbers were simply
grand as they always are when played
by the master hand of Professor Ell
mer A. Todd.
Miss Wilson herself produces Won
derful tone effects on her beautiful in
strument and gives promise of de-
velopment into an entertainer of rare
charm and ability should she con-
tinue her musical studies. The audi
ence was very appreciative through
out the program, giving generous ap-
plause in expression of their approval
of the young artist. Many floral offer
ing were made by admiring friends of
the young ladv in expression of their
appreciation of the very delightful
evening of music. Mrs. Lula Hage-
dorm was accompanist for the evening
,, and her playing added much to the
success of the program. The program
closed with trio, violin, piano and
organ. which was wonderful in eXecu-
tion as we'll as in charm.

Those who have watched the evolu-

recognize in that body one Of the great
est assets in the American government
both for state and national defense.
The expense of maintaining national
guard organization is about one-fourth
that of the same number in the regular
army, and the history of our great wars
has taught us that as a fighting force
they are equal and often superior to
the regular army unit of like number.
This is true because Of the special
qualifications of the private soldier.
Their equipment Is identical with that
Of the regular army. both in times of
peace and war, and their training is
also the Same as that of the regulars,

State Treasurer.

The treasury department is the
banking institution OF the state, and
with 1t all moneys collected by the va
rious state institutions and depart
ments must be deposited, which in
turn are deposited daily with the
banks.
The treasury department is measured
mainly by it's receipts and disburse-
ments and while these transactions
were quite nominal at the beginning
of our statehood they have now at
tanned magnitude Of considerable
proportion. The increased receipts and
disbursements during the past five
years evidence the remarkable growth
of the state during this period The
total receipts of the office for last year
to Dec. /. 1919, were $S.7sS. 025.27, while
the total receipts Of the office during
1914 were S2.s25.40S.34, which means
an increase Of 230 per cent in the busi-
ness of the treasurer's office during
my incumbency, the past five years,
and 1t is interesting to note that the
per cent greater than the 1918 re-
ceipts which were $5.153.692.06.
TAXES WERE SPENT
In 1919 the taxes levied for 1918,
which would ordinarily be used to pay
the expenses for 1919. had been ex.
pended. In that warrants had already
been drawn and claims filed for more
than the amount of the 1918 taxes
that would be collected. and while the
state had a balance of $2O,911.25 in the
general fund. and there We're taxes due
to come into this fund during the year
amounting to approximately 1870. 900.
demonstrating warrants and claims
amounting to considerably more than
this income, made 1t apparent there
would be an actual deficit when all
outstanding warrants and claims were
presented.
This condition made It necessary to
either register warrants on which thu
state has to pay per cent interest, or
to change the states plan Of financing.
To avoid registering warrants recon-
mended to the governor and to MEM
bers Of the Legislature that law be
passed authorixing the issuance Of one
year treasury notes. based on the tax
levy. Such law was passed by the
Legislature and in order to keep the
state on a cash basis and maintain its

issued July !. bearing ~ per cent in

Of troops and pay of officers and men
at the summer maneuver camps held
usually on the Pacific coast, where the
national guard of all western states
and the regular army units stationed
in the western department assemble
and form into brigades and divisions
for the working out of tactical prob
lens and general war maneuvers.
AGAINST BIG ARMY
Legislation for the organization and
regulation of the armies of the United
States Is now before congress. Sew
eral bills have been introduced, most
of which provide for large standing
army. The writer and the national
guard as a whole are not in favor of
this, and the national convention of the
American Legion went on record as
against a large standing army, 1t being
uneconomic and unAmerican.
They did go on record as favoring
universal military training and the
institution of military training in our
high schools and colleges.
National safety with freedom from
tional citizen army based on the DEM
ocratic and American principle of the
equality of the obligation and oppor-
tunity for all.
/ dare say that the expense of MAIN
tanning the army and training the men
to be drafted each year, as set forth
in the Baker bill, would cost peace low
ing America $1,000. 100000 per year
and will make of us a military nation,
the spirit and principle of which we
have been fighting for the past two
years to eradicate in foreign powers
There Is no argument in favor of
such an enormous regular army and
above all, 1t is an insult to the citizens
or volunteer soldiers who stood the
brunt of the late war. and who always
nave and always will make up the army
for America in time of war.
When did America ever have such a
nucleus for an efficient army as she
has today, with 1905, 900 trained men
just released from the service and
some of these men now living in every
hamlet in the United States?
The people not only in America, but
or the allied countries, believe that the
late war was fought for the suppression
OF miiitarism. The proof Of this is that
In the treaty of peace, the German
army is limited to a force of 200, 900
volunteers.
FAVORED DISARMAMENT
The provision for a league of ma
tons was adopted by the peace confer
ence in order to lessen the likelihood
OF resorting to arms in the settlement
of international disputes. A strong
sentiment was developed in support OF
partial disarmament among the great
powers. 1t seems to be acknowledged
that however necessary in the past,
CONSUMPTION may have been in Europe,
the maintenance Of large standing ar
mics tended to provoke war. For
America, of all countries, to advocate

tions the maintenance of a large pro-

THE DANGEROUS MORON.
Measurement of intelligence or
mental tests should be obligatory in
our public schools. SO that those with
mental defects may be discovered at
an early age and placed under the sur
VIGILANCE and protection OF society and
the state as 1t is hardly necessary to
emphasize that the high grade or NOR
on type, SO frequently overlooked, are
the ones whose guardianship is most
important for the state to assume as
they are the ones who are most like
ly to reproduce.
Race betterment would be greatly
enhanced by the enactment of a ster-
illzation law. This is an operation of
no great magnitude and under modern
methods OF surgery Is frought with but
little danger. The operation does not
denaturize the individual, but prevents
their reproduction, thus obviating the
necessity for isolation and detention.
This, / consider, would be most hu-
name as 1t would give them, under
proper environment, a measure of free

considered, what has been ac-
complished in managing the
business of the state consti-
tutes a record of marked econ
omy and efficiency.
The state has been able to
raise its standards of efficiency
and to reduce its cost because
of the adoption of a simplified
plan of doing business. The
states business is conducted
like that of a great corporation,
which, in fact, it is, with a gen.
eral manager and a board of
directors working in perfect
harmony to secure the best
possible results for the stock
holders, t h e people. Each
member of the board Of direc-
tors has q special knowledge
Of some branch Of the govern
ment and is familiar in a gen.
eral way with all branches. No
department head is ignorant of
the work and problems of other
departments, and duplication
Of labor and expense has prac-
tically ceased.
Gets Good Men
Our present cabinet form Of
government tends to bring bet
ter equipped men into public
life. Many high class public
spirited business and profess
sionai men have been deferred
from entering politics because
they would not endure the
hardships and unmerited criti-
cism engendered by campaign.
Official life holds no compen-
sation for them sufficient to
overcome t h drawbacks.
Under the new system good
men can be drafted to become
heads of departments because
of the opportunity afforded to
use their energies and abilities
for the public good. The OPP
pOrtunity for service is a form
Of compensation that appeals
to such men far more than the
pecuniary emoluments. With
q cabinet Of such men, elected
by and responsible to him, q
governor can justly be held ac-
cOuntable for his administra-
ton.
Former governors have had
to accept such accountability
without having the power to
enforce their wishes. / hope
tho people will strive to UNDER
stand the cabinet form of gov
eminent. l believe l may point
with reasonable pride to the
success which has attended II
