From all reports the mission that
sent Secretary Hrvan to Sacramento
to protest, on behalf of the Wilson
administration, failed, and California
has gone on with the program ma -ed
out and enacted such laws as
hhe desired regarding alien land
owners. Such outcome will be
looked ujMiu as a distinct failure
of the diplomatic powers of Mr.. Bry
an and his principals. Vet it is doubt
ful in anyone could have lirouglil
sullicient jiersiiHsive wwer to bear
Uwn California to have caused the
legislators to retreat from their wsi
t ion. The demand for the projiosed
legislation in California was too
strong to be disregarded, and even if
the Johnson administration had de
hired to comply with the wishes of
President Wilson, sentiment against
such a course was too pronounced to
! lightly cast aside.
Thus, California insisting on the
doctrine of state's rights, went on
with such legislation as the great ma
jority of the people of the state seem
lo desir?, regardless of the advice
from Washintgon, and nothing re
mained for Secretary Hryan but tore
turn to Washington and refill to his
chief that he made a little journey to
the Pacific Coast, the result of which
were mainly confined to a little out
ing and the enjoyment of sonic su
rb scenery. j
The Democratic rartv lia lorn?
been a Mrorig adherent of the doctrine
of states' righta and is therefore
placed in a delicate position in the
present instance. President Wilson
and his advisers cannot consistently
take the position that California had
no right to enact such legislation a
she deemed ncr. ami the only
pat ha ay for abrogation of such legis
lative enactment appear to be the
claim that international treaty rights
may be involved. This will be a mat

the battle for existence we find that !
we must get out and hustle for bread;

Well, Bryan's western trip wasn't
altogether in vain after all. He laid
the corner stone for the new Y. M.
C. A. building in San Francisco and
made a sx-ech or two.
"Bryan Awaits Wilson's Orders
at Sacramento" says a headline in
They Would Tend to Lower the Cost of
Living.
The 2,000.000 miles of unimproved
roads which the country has to Its dis
credit are as heavy a burden upon the
unfortunate "ultimate consumer" as Is
an excessive tariff. Every pound of
produce hauled r-om the farm to the
market bears an Inflated price because
of the excessive co of its transporta
tion from the farm to the point of
shipment.
For instance, It costs an average of
almost 2 cents more to haul a bushel
of wheat from the farm to the station
nine miles away than It does to ship a
bushel of wheat from New l'ork to
Liverpool, ? 'oo miles away. This ex
cessive transportation cost must be
made up by the farmer in charging
more for his wheat by the miller in
eharging more for the flour, by the
baker in charging more for bread and
finally, of course, by the "ultimate consumer-'
in paying more for his bread.
As the farmer and the miller are also
consumers, the excessive cost of road
transportation really levies a tax upon
all Whatever doubt there may have
been about the need for systematic
road Improvement in the United States
facts and figures such as these finally
dispelled.
If there was ever any work calculated
to fill the proverbial "long felt want" it
was the work of the office of public
roads.

j assembly recently passed an anli-
alieii land owning law and passed it
in obedience to the expressed wish
es of the great majority of the -o-ple.
Sentiment in the state was so
strong for the bill that but a very
few votes were cast against it. even
after President Wilson, through!
Secretary Bryan, had exerted his in-:
fluenee to defeat legislation of this,
character. Now comes the inforina-'
tion that the big business interests,
of California will refer the bill to the 1
jHMiple and then-fore hold up its pro-,
visions until the fall of 1!M4. In the !
meantime aliens may acquire land
and big business interests will profit
thereby. It is realized that the bill
will be endorsed by the n-ople by
an overwhelming majority but the
new-fangled referendum will stave it
off until somebody makes a wad of
money in land sales to Japanese gar
deners at the exense of the Ameri
