Abandoning the Bunk.

From the Portland Oregon Daily Journal.
At an estimated saving of $500, 900 to
$500,000 a year the city and county Of
San Diego, Calf, goes on new charter
next July by which there will be merger
of the duties Of public administrator and
coroner, surveyor and county engineer
and sheriff and constables; establish
ment of uniform conStabulary to in
clude sheriff and constables, who are
ex-oficio deputy sheriffs; provision re-
quiring that all fees go into the county
treasury; the placing Of all supervisors
upon major commissions, including well
fare and health; the allocating Of
greater auditing powers to the con-
troller- auditor, who Is made appointive
rather than elective.
Under the' new charter the grand
Jury and the Legislature which, for
nearly a century have dictated the size
of the elective departments of the coun-
ty, will be deprived of that function.
Instead, the supervisors are empowered
to fix each year the number of county
employees, their deputies and their SAL
aries.
There is intelligence in the San Diego
action. It Is example to most of the
governments in the country. Duplicated
functions, multiplied ofhcials to exercise
the same duties and authority, and

John Hancock.

This is John Hancock's day. He was
born on January u, 1877. First signer
OF the Declaration Of independence and
first Governor Of Massachusetts, under
the Federal Constitution, he was uni
versally famous in his own time But,
largely, it would seem, because he lacked
a sympathetic biographer, our genera
tion knows little about him and enter
tains but scant appreciation of him.
He has receded into the shadows, and
group of modern "debunking" his
torians have done their best to see
that he is buried there.
For more just evaluation of his role
In the Revolutionary drama it is neces-
sary TO go back to the records of that
period. When that is done Hancock
takes on a new significance. With
Samuel Adams, he was the leader of the
Wing agitation in Boston, active in or
ganizing protest against taxation with
out representation" He served as
chairman of the Citizens Committee
which successfully demanded the with

Flaxseed. Goats, Molasses.

Perhaps the best commentary on the
House farm relief bill is found in the
prosaic Congressional Records report
of some of the amendments offered
from the floor.
Amendment offered by Mr.. Hall of
North Dakota: Page 2, line II, after
the word cotton" insert "f1aXseed."
Amendment offered by Mr.. Schafer:
Page 2. line II, after the word cotton"
insert the word goats"
Amendment offered by Mr.. Gilchrist:
Line II, page 2, after the word cotton"
insert the word corn
Amendment offered by Mr.. William
e. Hull: Page. 2, line 18, after the
word cotton" insert a comma and the
words black strap"
1t Is true that the House buckled
down yesterday and killed off these
amendments. 1t refused to put fax
seed, goats, corn and black strap mo-
lasses among the basic export farm
crops on which the farmers will be
paid bonus representing the difference
between current day and pre-war prices.
But on the preceding day the original
list of such commodities, consisting Of
wheat, cotton, tobacco and hogs had been
broadened, and to it were added peanuts,
rice and dairy products. Yesterday
there was fear that the bill would
choke to death on its own amendments
before it had fair chance to survive,
So further amendments were defeated
and the House, after serious study and
perfection of the text of the bill, is e.
pected to reach vote today. The bi-l
will probably be passed by comfort
able ma ajority.
But merely because fiaxseed, goats,
corn and black strap molasses failed to
be accommodated yesterday on the
farm bill band wagon does not mean
that they will later be denied seat,
nor should mushroom growers, poultry
men and others feel disappointed.
II the version of the domestic allot-
ment plan represented in the House
farm bill should finally be enacted into
law and should prove workable-and it
is extremely difficult to conceive either
they will be taken care of in time.
It is the nature Of the bill that this
should be so. AS long as peanuts and
rice are placed in the same category
with wheat and cotton as basic export
able crops there is nothing to. prevent
the inclusion as such of practically
everything else And as long as there
are so many members Of Congress who
conceive the national farm problem only
In the light of what can be done for the
farmers in their own districts efforts
will be made continually to turn farm
aid into another version Of tariff
making.
1t is TO be doubted that the farm bill
will become law, as written in the
House. 1t is almost beyond compre-
henSion that the machinery it provides
could be made to work. And there is
real tragedy, not in the ultimate failure
Of this bill, but in the fact that with
the real distress Of agriculture SO
strongly demanding constructive action,
this action should be expressed in the
form of the House bill The bill is
dangerous enough In what it attempts
to do, but not so dangerous as the dis
tllusionment Of the farmer when he
finds how badly he has been fooled
again.

Japanese Puzzle Inspires
Several Possible Solutions

the arrangement for equality Of control
of the railway from Russian territory
through Harbin to the sea. Manifestly,
however, the Japanese are not worried
about the possibility Of a Soviet check
on their Manchurian operations, or they
would not refuse to sign this treaty"
Possible ambitions OF Japan receive
much attention. The San Francisco
Chronicle offers the comment: There
Is real danger that the attack on Shan
haikwan, like similar incidents in the
past, may go very far. That city
is important because it extends the
sphere of Japanese action south of the
Wall, into China proper This city, in
fact, Is the port of the Wall; the one
place where the railway goes through it.
1t dominates the approach to Tientsin
and by rail to Peiping. It indicates a
policy to control the Mongolian province
of Jehol, which guards both the ap-
proaches to Peiping. 1t confirms the
policy Of regarding the military move
ments Of Marshal Chang Hsueh-Liang
soRth of the Wall as Japan's business.
And it is in immediate contact with the
international troops left in China under
the Boxer treaties to guard the ap-
proacheS to Peiping. II the policy in
dicated by this first step is carried to
its logical conclusion, it means the Jap
anese conquest of all North China, in
cluding the legation city which was
Peking and is now Peiping,"
1.-THE burdens to be imposed by an
other year of conflict on wider and
probably a more remote front may
prove in the long run more decisive
than any military 'triumphs' achieved
in Manchuria or Jefol or China" says
a nrIooV1S Tim -pira Nxyt1fIa
the Akron Beacon Journal, recognizing
the need for men, food and munitions
along with billions Of treasure, con-
cludes that "when these resources fail,
there may be a Japan that win keep
its covenants with other nations" The
Chicago Daily News comments: 1T
seems incredible that impoverished
Japan, while expending $200,000,000 a
year on a dubious venture in Man.
churia, should risk trouble with Russia
as well as with China. But most Of
Japan's policies since September, 1881,
have seemed equally prepoSterous, and
sober sense is not to be expected from
its militarists. The Far Eastern crisis
seems destined to be intensified In the
near future"
Examining the Japanese attitude, the
Appleton Post-CreScent offers the judg-
ment: I'VE need to realize that their
nation is unit behind her leaders in
their fiat defiance Of world opinion.
There are very substantial reasons for
it. Japan must expand or wither. She
needs new land for her surplus popula-
tion. She needs new raw materials Of
all ktnds-foodstuffs minerals, oil. tim
Der and the like. She needs these as
desperately as Is possible for a growing,
energetic nation to need such things.
Manchuria offers all OF these things In
abundance. Furthermore, it is about
the only place on earth available to
the Japanese that does offer them. The
Japanese are absolutely determined to
have them, and they have invested so
much money IN the effort to get them

Transcontinental Flying Service.

Regular transcontinental air service
of sixteen hours eastward and eighteen
hours westward is now planned by one
Of the companies operating long-dis-
tance schedules in this country. The
difference of two hours between the two
courses is due, it Is explained, to the
prevalence of westerly winds. The
longer flight will be six hours less than
a recently established schedule for night
mail and passenger service operated by
the same line and will be made possible
by the adoption of speedier unit,
which will include several features de-
scribed as entirely new to commercial
air transport" One Of these Is the use
of a structural material for which Is
claimed twice the strength Of that pre-
v.ously used without any increase in
weight. Another feature Is the use Of
a new wing section and still another
is "retarding flap" which will permit
higher speeds in approaching landing
fields and will insure safe landings in
small areas. The company which now
proposes this remarkable operating speed
was established in 1928 with forty
eight-hour schedule on an air-rah
basis, passengers being transported by
rail at night and by plane In daylight.
Air travel has come TO be regarded
as a regular, safe, dependable means
Of transport in this country. The
figures of patronage, for both long and
short flights, are mounting steadily
and rapidly. Inter-city flying on the

The opening Of the new year with
further military operations by Japan
aimed at Chinese territory, especially in
the neighborhood of the Great Wall, is
placed among the major events Of the

that It intends to pursue its purpose In

position Is expected from Russia, though
its lack of preparation for warfare is
recognized. Despite inactivity among
the great powers, it Is suggested that
world opinion may finally check Japan.
Emphasizing the cost Of "conquering
Manchuria and keeping it conquered"
and the consequent condition OF the
Japanese treasury, the Des Moines
Tribune suggests: Every hoary and
every new-fangled trick that anybody
can think of will be used, and to the
limit, to make it impossible Tor the
Parliament to do other than accept the
budget and to make it impossible for
the taxpayers Japan has taxpayers,
tool to do other than submit. The sad
dest part is perhaps this, that the
hokum and hullabaloo will probably
work-so well that the victimized peo-
pie will not have the sense of submit
ting at all; they will think 1t is they
who patriotically insist" The Provi-
dence Journal makes the comment:
Her expenses are increasing, her in
duStries languish, and 1t is question
how long she will be able to support
her ambitious policy Of Westward no.
No intelligent student Of affairs can af-
ford to leave the possibilities of her
advance toward the sunset unex-
amined."
From another viewpoint. the Roch-
ester Times-Union suggests that "if
China ever becomes a united nation,
obeying loyalty central government of
dignity and power, it will be the black
est day in the history of Japan, for
united China will be mighty and un-
beatable adversary" and the Salt Lake
Deseret News thinks that "the great
war of the future. if it Is to occur, might
be fought with China and Russia op-
posed to Japan" The Charleston Is.
