BALENCED INDUSTRIES
PROTECT CALIFORNIA
lPasadena Star News

pasadena Star News)
California is pre-eminently an agri-
cultural state. In many respects its
farm products take nationwide leader
ship. This is particularly true of the
diversity of its crops, also of the dis
tinctiveness of some of them. Calfor-
mia is a tourist state, an industrial state,
a mining and oil state, commercial
state. In short, it is a we'll balanced
state, which accounts for its rapid rise
in its relationship to other states In
1890 California was sixth in popula-
ton; now it may have passed Texas for
fifth place.
Fitting recognition of California's
agricultural resources comes in the re-
election of an Orange county farmer
and orchardist as president of the State
Chamber of Commerce. A. j. McFadden
of Santa Ana has been chosen for this
continued honor; and as some of the
biggest business men, industrialists and
bankers of California make up the board
of directors of the state chamber, their
choice is significant endorsement of
exceptional ability in the person of their
leader
The annual report of the state organ
ization noted more favorable business
conditions than during the earlier
months of the year. Industrially the new
depression is less severe here than in
eastern centers. There has been some
gain in employment but not what it
should be. Building operations are in
creasing. Bank debts increased slightly
in April over March, and retail trade
figures also improved. Oil fields are
held down as a matter of production
control. Favorable weather conditions
have improved the agricultural outlook,
which is excellent in most sections, again
demonstrating the influence of the farm
on the prosperity of California.

THE BIGGEST FACTOR
OF THEM ALL

The United Press, news gathering
organization which deals in facts and
not in theory, reported in a copyrighted
article Friday that nationwide survey
bv its reporters indicated American
business as a whole, from Maine to Cali
fornia. is on the beginning of definite
upward surge.
This is no "booster" story. When the
recession came, the United Press re-
ported it. When it stopped being re-
cession and bean to look like depres-
sion. the United Press reported that,
too. And now, after many weary months,
the service reports a general feeling
among business men that business is al
ready better and will be better yet IN
a few weeks.
America is thinking good times; there
you have the most important factor of
them all.
There was no real, dollars and cents
reason for the recession. Fear caused it.
Even if there had been reason, fear
would have made it worse. Now, with
fear out of the way, the greatest stum-
bling block of all along the path to pros
perity has been hurdled.
Americans are a peculiar race. AS
they believe SO are they. Just now they
believe prosperity is due again, and the
very belief has brought a measure of it
back Nothing can stop it now.

Thoughts for the Day
DR.. CLARK FOREMAN.
THE VALLEYS FRIEND

Almost since the beginning Imperial
Valley has been fortunate in its offlclal
friendships at Washington and else
where. but never has this been truer than
now. with DR.. Clark Foreman again
heading the Public Works Admlnlstra-
tion's power division. DR.. Foremans
straightforward character and Keen
knowledge of the matters placed IN
his hands are, perhaps, among the rea-
sons the valley NAV count him as a
friend. Without these characteristics, or
with a less thorough study of the prob
lens before him, DR.. Foreman might be-
like some others, inclined to temporlZe'
or to act without full knowledge.
A glimpse at DR.. Foreman's record,
when once before he was chief OF the
mower division. will convince most valley
residents that he is, indeed, man to
he trusted. and one with whom the val
lev can work in full accord.
DR.. Foreman's personal interest IN
valley problems. as we'll as the thor
oughness with which he does the JOB at
hand. was demonstrated when he came
to California from Washington IN an
effort to bring about an understanding
that would lead to acquisition by the
Imperial Irrigation District of the NeVa-
da-California Electric corporations sys-
less good by reason of failure growing
out of two Numerically opposed view
points.
Again DR.. Foreman's interest was
demonstrated when he sent his assistant,
K. S. Wingfield to California to study
the local power project first hand; and
vet again impetus was given municipal
construction when he assigned Wright
Felt. his former chief engineer, to per
sonal supervision of the valleys public
power system while it is under con-
structiOn.
The close understanding existing be-
tween DR.. Foreman and Felt have re-
suited in quick decisions where delay
wonld have been inevitable had a less
trusted lieutenant been assigned here.
Glad of his friendship and apprecia-
tive of his trust, Imperial Valley can
only wish DR.. Foreman long tenure OF
the important position he holds-and
the good will of other communities equal
to the good will Of this one.

ranch, and the strange thing he
liked doing was catching wild ami
mails. The other boys in that sec
ton herded cattle, but young
Frank wanted to catch red birds
and flying squirrels and coyotes.
The neighbors pooh-poohed and
laughed said he'd come to no
good end.
1t never occurred to Frank, how
ever, that he could make money
with his strange idea. One day he
went to town and saw on the bulle-
tin board, inside the court house.
a legal notice that the county
would pay $3.50 for every dead
coyote. He stood transfixed. Money.
Riches. Wealth.
There were dozens of trappers
out to get that money. But Frank
was smart. He went to the herd
where a calf was being butchered
and asked his father for the skin.
Mounting a horse, he rode out on
the plains, put the skin down and
dragged it on the ground behind
him. Then he hid behind a mes
quite bush with his rifle. After
a time along came a coyote trail
ing the fresh meat-bang!-tWo
and one-half dollars for Frank.
When he was older he got an
idea his friends said was the
craziest they'd ever heard Of. 1t
was to go to South America and
trap birds and bring 'em back and
sell them.
Frank had saved up $500. He
went to South America, trapped
birds, brought them back and made
$l100.
From this grew a much bigger
idea. He would catch wild animals
and bring EN- back alive. 1t was
big step from coyotes and birds
to man-eating tigers, but he went
about it intelligently. He studied
wild animals and their habits
particularly the food they lived
on in captivity. He read book after
book; he went to the ZOOS, met
the scientific men and asked ques-
tions. Pretty soon he knew all
about the jungle creatures, from
the king cobra to the hippopota-
mus.
His business grew in leaps and
bounds-no pun intended. He has
crossed the Pacific Ocean forty
one times. He has been around the
world twelve times. Motion picture
companies came to him. He made
Bring En- Back Alive and Wild
Cargo. More and more money!

THIS THIRD TERRI TALK

The ambition and self-interest of poll
ticians will account for some of the third
term talk and sincere belief in the ne
cessity of preserving his policies may
induce the President to consider such
a step; but the objections laid down by
Washington and acknowledged by all his
successors, are as sound today as when
first pronounced.
1t is true that General Grant, man of
the purest motives, but deficient in poll
tical understanding listened to a very
strong public demand for third term.
Party leadership wisely refused him the
nomination. The people declined to con-
slider the attempt of Theodore Roosevelt
to break the presidential precedent.

on THE HONOR ROLL
{ Martinez GaZette)

Nhdl lliltZ bdZcICtD
As the depth of a lake is measured
by sounding ear, so business conditions
are gauged by the percentage of tax
delinquency. On this score, California
is taking top honors, coming out first
in a field of forty-eight. Of the nations
eight cities having the lowest rate of
tax delinquency, five were California
municipalities, announces the current
issue of Dun's magazine. Whereas the
average rate of non-payment of taxes
among $50 representative American
cities last year was 11.3 per cent, in the
honor-roll municipalities of San Jose,
San Francisco, Oakland, Fresno and
Berkeley, the delinquency rate fell be-
low three per cent. Yet even municipal
tax returns throughout the nation, for
1898, as indicated at this early date,
are giving the tax eXperts-and not the
experts only.-a welcome surprise with
collections holding up astonishingly WELL
May California, however, continue to be
pacemaker for the nation.

Here's the rest of the score: New

Mutt machine in Indiana, to bolster
its strength and attract conservative
support for McNutt, renominated

The principal trouble in this
world lately has been the fact that
people have taken to thinking
with their hearts rather than with
their heads. Getting into a pro-
found and complicated jam, the
world seems to be turning its back
on intelligence and relying on nak-
ed emotion.
That explains, no doubt, the
enormous popularity of slogans and
catch phrases in every land. Peo-

out of their troubles; they simply
want something clear and unmis-
