which Whitman carried relentlessly to its logical
conclusion, has been more dangerous to autocracy of

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. Three
of the largest tents on the Pacific
Coast will be used for housing the
Twelfth National Orange Show in this

score of feature displays, many of

The Orange Show will again he held

Las week there was landed in
San Francisco, from one cargo, over
a million pounds of Australian butter
and every incoming freight from the
East brings enough more to spread
thick a million slices of bread.
Last year there was sold in Califor-
MIA over ten million pounds of imita-
ton butter very largely composed Of
cocoanut oil and not of beef fat as
many suppose.
When these facts and others like
them, viz: two great profits between
the dairymen and the man who
spreads the butter on his bread, are
looked squarely in the face it may
seem foolish to pipe the lay of sun

Aided by Market Bureau Cali
fornia Association of Live
stock Men to Make Effort to
Cut Cost of Meat at Retail

There is to be readjustment of
prices paid for food meats in San Di-
ego, Los Angeles and other market
centers, if the California Cattlemen's
association can bring this about. They
are being assisted by the division of
markets of the state agricultural de-
partment. Meat packer are to come
into the conference, it is said. In fact
it is claimed the packers have long
since reduced prices to about pre-war
basis. The retailers are said to be out
of line with their figures. To rectify
this and encourage greater consump-
ton of meats is the purpose of the
cattlemen.
The California Cattlemen's associa-
ton is purely a cooperative organi-
ZatiOn, composed Of cattle raisers, and
the southern section, which takes in
the counties of Inyo, Santa Barbara,
Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, San
Bernardino, Riverside, Imperial and
San Diego, in charge of John E. Rob-
ert, secretary.
The state department of agriculture
has for some time been rendering con-
siderable assistance to the cattlemen
of the state, by way of protecting the
industry, in ferreting out and prose-
cutting cattle thieves, and will further
aid the cattlemen by assisting in a
drive for membership in the organi
zation, which will be inaugurated with
the coming of the new year The work
of the cattlemen's association is so
closely affiliated with the state de-
partment of agriculture that Mr..
Hecke thought it advisable for econ
omy and efficiency, to have the or
ganization share part of the quarters
of the state department in the Pacific
Finance building.
The officers and directors Of the
southern branch of the California
Cattlepen's association are as follows
Hubbard Russell, president; n. R.
Vail, vice president; o. B. Fuller,
Lloyd Summers and James Sloan, di-
rectors; John f Robert, zone man
ager.
The annual convention of the Amer
lean National Livestock association
will be held at Colorado Springs, COM
mencing the week of January 9, at
which time many important subjects
will come up for discussion, affecting
the industry over the United States.
A large delegation will go to the con-
vention from southern California.

AMERICAN VALUATION
PLAN WILL BE URGED

NEW YORK, Jan. believing that
immediate passage of tariff bill of
one form or another is most urgent
to relieve the nations manufacturers
Of their present anxiety and to bring
about a stabilization of world busi-
ness, the National Association of
Manufacturers will hold special con-
vention in Washignton, at the Willard
Hotel, on January 80 and 81.
The manufacturers believe that
Congressional delay over tariff is re-
tarding the restoration of business in
many lines.
The fundamental topic of discus
sion will be the American Valuation
Plan, around which so much of the
fight over the tariff bill now centers.
In urging quick action by Congress the
manufacturers are asking only that
the imposition of all ad valorem du-
ties be upon the basis of the American
values instead of upon foreign values
as is the practice today. They are
seeking no participation in the MAX
ing of the tariff schedules or rates,
or in the framing of the bill.
The National Association of Manu-
facturers will go to Washington with
a large majority backing of the manu-
facturers of the country, as shown in
a recent referendum taken throughout
the nation and just completed The
vote, which was taken among some
thing like 5000 manufacturers, who
employ nearly three million persons,
shows them to be 77.7 per cent in fsy-
or of the American Valuation Plan;
POT per cent opposed to il; while i.6

fective. The vote represents a total

Turbulent Colorado is Turned
Into New South Channel to
Prevent Immediate Danger
of Flood to American Land

Because of reports from the upper
Colorado that fresh flood was on its
way to the lower reaches Chief En-
gineer Roy Carberry yesterday after
noon dynamited the dam holding back
the water from the main channel of
the river from the recently completed
Pescadero Cut, and sent the river
tumbling on its way to the Gulf
through the new channel.
The turning of the water into the
cut is considerably in advance of teh
time fixed by Carberry and the Board
of Directors of the Irrigation District,
but the engineer decided not to take
and chances on the new freshet.
AS result of the water getting
into the cut, it is believed the great
Colorado river, will soon be all flow
ing through a made-to to-order channel,
if ambitious efforts of Imperial Ir-
rigation district do not go awry. At an
expense of but S150,000, one of the
worlds most. treacherous streams,
flowing through two countries, is be-
