SEVENTEEN PROPOSITIONS
AND THE AVERAGE MAN

Harrassed John @. Citizen will be Civ
en- ballot Nov. 5 upon which, in addition
to the candidates. will be II propositions
of various face and complexion. If John
@. Citizen can vote intelligently on all
of those propositions, he's a better man
than most. A far better man, in fact
than we would be if we went to the polls
without first having inquired intensively
into each of those propositions and the
things each would bring about.
Why are there so many propositions?
Most of them are acts of the state leg
islature which, under CALIFORNIA; cum
bersome constitution, must be submitted
to the electorate. Until California attacks
the tough job of rewriting her constitu-
ton and codifying her laws, we will be
faced with some such a list of PROPOSE
tions every time there is major election.
So we might as well resign ourselves to
it and attempt to make the best decisions
that are possible to anyone who is not
an expert.
We believe the best bet is to consult
the opinion of men who are experts, who
have a direct stake in the matter to be
voted upon, or who for some other rea-
son are vitally interested. Frankly, that
is what this newspaper has done in cases
where expert knowledge of the subject
under consideration was necessary. We
then attempted to sift the chaff from the
wheat of the arguments we heard, and
arrive at conclusion satisfactory to our
selves We hope it will also be satisfac-
tory to a majority of our readers.
We shall, between now and election
day, review every proposition on the No
vember ballot, and give the recommenda-
ton we believe best. We do this with the
full knowledge that another opinion may
be as valuable as ours. We are telling
our readers what we think, not attempt
ing to tell them how to vote.
Some Of the propositions We have not
yet obtained complete information about.
These will be passed over to be discussed
later on Thus we shall not go directly
down the line from Proposition No. to
proposition No. II, but eventually each
will be discussed.
We shall feel our efforts repaid if
these discussions help our readers to ar
rive at conclusions of their own, even
though the conclusions may be differ
ent than those we have voiced.

DAYLIGHT SAVING
FOR CALIFORNIA

No community in California has great
er reason than Jmperial Valley for de-
feating Proposition No. on the Novem-
ber ballot.
The proposition would, if enacted, put
this state on daylight saving basis dur
ing the summer months. 1t would move
the clock back one hour between the last
Sunday in April and the last sunday in
September each year. Thus o'clock
in the morning would become midnight,
and so on.
Farm bureau members throughout the
state are strong in opposition to the pro-
posed amendm mt. They point out that
a farmer, or any other person, can get
up an hour early if he wants to without
being forced to do so. The disruption of
time schedules as between California and
neighboring states would harm their bus
mess greatly.
Mothers of small children join the
farmers in opposition. The havoc diff
ferent time schedule would create in
their feeding and infant care schedules
is apparent.
Many of the. states major industries,
and the California State Federation of
Labor, are opposed to the proposal.
Already defeated once by the people
and five times by the legislature, this
proposal should be beaten again.

side may triumph at the polls.
Not because either party will de-
liberately seek such involvement
but rather because the force of
events is driving this country more
deeply into a position which may
become untenable without resort to
arms.
Whether or not we enter that
war depends not so much on the
citizens of the United States or
their government as it does on the
conduct of the other nations al
ready involved. If the causes arc
beyond our control, we can have no
hand in shaping the effect.
War for America need not yet
be considered fait accompli. AS
long as we maintain a position of
formal neutrality there is still hope
Of peace for America. We're in q
ticklish situation. We must play
our cards the right way. There can
be no mistakes, no funbling.
That is the issue on election day.
1t would be simple matter to

Nov. S. It will require the most
delicate diplomacy the greatest
skill, the keenest desire for non
intervention to keep us out of it
with no loss of prestige and no
surrender of rights.

Editorials and Comment
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 49, 1910
so PROFITS ARE EVIL?
(Wall Street JournaD

(Wall street. j Ournal)
Years ago a STRIPPING college youth
wandered into a Pittsburgh bank with
an idea. The youth had a plan for max
ing in commercially useful quantities a
metal which was then only a kind of
curiosity The banker backed the boy.
Out of that meeting there grew the
Aluminium Co. of America. The COM
pany did produce aluminium in CONNER
cial quantities The volume ascended.
The price went in the opposite direction.
Of course the company grew. 1t made
a good deal of money. Its growth and
its profit made it shining target for
those who found profit of their own in
exciting the envy of the many who could
be persuaded to believe that growth and
profits somehow injured them.
So this company making something
new became one of the shining marks
for political attack 1t was pictured as
a mpetition-choking monopoly some
how waxing fat from unearned profits
The banker who backed it was pictured
as kind of scoundrel for his vision. The
very government he had served attempt
ed to indict him on a jailable offense;
an attempt which failed.
All of this has been told often. We tell
it again here because this company, which
even now is being prosecuted by the gov
ernment, has just announced that it will
spend S150,000,000 on additional plants
to provide national defense needs. 1t
will not ask loans from the government.
1t will not ask special treatment. 1t
will build the plants. They will be use
full for defense needs If they are useful
later, the company will use them If not,
they will lie there idle.
We suggest this to the liberals and re-
formers:
Is it possible that this country needs
more youths like Charles M. Hall, the
inventor of the aluminium process, the
tinker and the thinker and considerably
fewer of the kind who are easily per-
suaded that they belong to a generation
which is somehow lost?
Is it even possible that it somehow
needs more 'individualists' like the late
Andrew w. Mellon, who was not afraid
to put money into something untried,
who guided the financial side of new
development, who had the vision to fore
go immediate profits and year after year
plOw back the earnings until today there
stands a company able to lay out $780,
1000 when the nation needs it?
We think it is not only possible but so
self-evident that the little men who are
crying that America is finished should
cease their chatter and hide in some
place where they cannot be seen for
long time.

lawyer who came down here to take
charge of the job. About half the

less than half of the four months
allotted to the job has been used
up; the thing should be finished
nicely by the end of the year,

ed when the draft-laW registration
period sets in.
AS the cards come in, they GO
to immigration service and FBI for
checking. The officials expect thev
will uncover quite few cases O..

though, that an alien who is be-

thing, it's impossible to deport
