RICHARDSON
HITS ORGY
Of LOOSE
MONEY
State Treasurer Scores Gov
ernor's Ways of Vote-Get-
ing and DenOunces Super
extravaganza of Machine

Rovernor William D. Stephens, af-
ter his tour of the Imperial Valley, is
now over in San Diego. Friend W.
Richardson, state treasurer, and can
didate for governor, is over there also.
And Richardson, who is a veteran
newspaper man, and long time ad-
vocate of economy in the use of the
taxpayers money, takes caustic rap
at Stephens methods Of campaigninf
! for reelection.
"When | landed in San Diego l saw
one of the big state machines here"
said Mr.. Richardson last night. "The
people pay for the gas and the oil and
the board and room of these votarles
of so-called economy and alleged eff
ficiency."
Richardson fired this hot shot soon
after his arrival in San Diego. Gov.
Stephens last night addressed meet
ing of voters, telling them how eco
nomically the state is conducted.
81 am in the fight for governor be-
cause feel it my duty to do some
thing to curb the reckless extrava-
gance of the state machine. In 1918
Gov. Stephens pledged himself, if
elected, to give the people an econom-
cal and efficient administration. An
increase of state biennial expenses
from $$52,OO0,0OO to sol, 100000 in
two years is his record on economy.
Seventy four per cent increase is evi-
dently his idea of economy. His
pledge Of efficiency is expressed in his
reorganization plan. This plan re-
named number of officers, weakens
the effectiveness of civil service, has
caused endless confusion and is in
creasing state expenses. 1t is a plan
without coordination. 1t is a scheme
to fool the people.
During the past ten years the ex-
penses of the state government have
increased twelve times as fast as the
population. This increase has been
due mainly to the greed of the pow
erful political machine which domin-
ates the state. The way to retrench is
to kick this machine out of polite
and put the state on a business bas;
'In 1911 the state budget for the
biennial period was $14,000,000, and
now it has reached sol, 100000. Here
is room for much explanation. Gov,
Johnson ran the state two years for
$35 100000, but Gov. Stephens has
signed bills for $91 100000 for the
state expenditure for the coming two
years. Here is an increase of nearly
three times in six years with no new
commissions, no added functions of
government and no improvement in
efficiency. Here is more opportunity
for explanation.
81 am travelling in my own automo-
bile and am paying my own expenses.
II am taking my message of economy
and retrenchment direct to the people.

lcer as an evidence of good faith. |

GOVERNMENT
TO IMPROVE
ITS FARM
REPORTS
More Complete and Compre-

A dOpte e d in Reporting
Conditions On Ranch and
Range

CHICAGO, Dec. IA comprehen
sive program for perfecting the gov
ernment's crop reporting service
which will be carried out as soon a:
funds are available, was outlined her,
by Leon M. Estabrook, of the United
States Department of Agriculture
speaking before the National Associa.
tion of State Marketing Officials al
! its annual meeting. Mr.. Estabrook
spoke on the relation of the govern
ment crop reports to marketing, de
scribing the various processes involv.
| ed in gathering and disseminating the
reports and pointing out the uses tc
which they are put in aiding the pro-
duction and marketing of agriculture
al products.
Abiding to criticisms made of the
service from time to time, Mr.. Esta-
broow declared that officials RESPONSE
BILE for the preparation of the govern
ment crop reports know better than
any other class of men exactly where
in the crop reporting organization
and system are deficient and know
exactly in what particulars and how
they can and should be improved.
Crop reporting, he pointed out, has
been in successful operation for more
than half century, and "every con-
ceivable defect in the system and
every conceivable method has been
repeatedly brought to the attention
of the responsible officials"
These officials, he said, have tried
or seen tried every known method and
every method that has ever been sug-
gested for estimating crop and live
stock production. Mr.. Estabrook
grouped the various features Of the
plogrom for improving the service
under nine general divisions, which
he discussed as follows:
There is a growing and insistent de-
mand that the estimates be localized
by counties. During the last three
years the department has gradually
extended it's system to making coun-
ty estimates through its state satisti-
clans. 1t is hoped now to publish
maps for each state at or about har-
vest time, indicating surplus and de-
ficient production by counties for each
Of the important crops.
1t is planned to issue figures show
ing the marketable surplus produc-
tion-that part Of the crop that is
sold and actually leaves the farm and
goes into the channels Of trade. Up
to the present time the department
has simply estimated total farm pro-
duction because of lack of funds eX-
cept during the war period when
emergency appropriations permitted
estimates of commercial production Of
fruit and truck crops.
Estimates will be more in detail,
such as production by varieties, quail
tiles and grades; estimates of aban-
doned acreage, of loss and damage
from disease and insect pests; disposi-
tion, utilization, shrinkage and waste,
farm stocks, and other factors that
have a direct bearing on time, place,
quantity or quality Of production.
Complete, accurate and timely in
formation with respect to livestock
production is needed perhaps, more
livestock reporting service and to
forecast the production of beef, hogs,
than anything else, Mr.. Estabrook
|said. Additional funds would allow
the department greatly to enlarge it's
