HOME VERSUS REVOLUTION
This country has a great deal of
radical material that would be swept
along In any way of revolution that
might come along.
There Is one element that forever
blocks the danger of movements of
this character— the small home and
land owners are in majority.
He who owns his home and sits
tinder his own vine and fig tree is
owned by the home influences that
are against revolutions.
The millions of little homes, bun­
galows. gardens and acre tracts and
owners of suburban improvements
are the safeguard of the nation.
The man who ownes a little home,
or fruit tract or small farm Is owned
by that properly and is not an easy
mark for the red flag.
Legislators, bankers, employers of
labor and government generally
should do ail possible to make It easy *

early history
of California
___
which even
encircles the origin of the name.
About 1520 a Spanish love story
was published in which there
was an imaginary island in the
Far East called California. Some
fifteen years later a party of
Spanish adventurers came upon
the peninsula which we now call
Lower California. Believing that
they had discovered a romantic
island similar to the one In the
novel, they called It Cnllfomia.
Later on, the territory to the
north became known as Alta
California or High California
and when it beenme a state, it
was accordingly called Cali­
fornia. The first settlers were
the Franciscan monks who cnine
up from Mexico and established
missions, and many are the leg­
ends woven around these pioneer
Padres. There shortly grew up
Mexican settlements around the
missions which the wonderful
climate and fertile soil pros­
pered.
The government, while under ,
Mexican control, was more or '
legs Independent, and at the out­
break of the Mexican war, Fre­
mont, who was later defeated
for the presidency, occupied Cal­
ifornia. When peace was made
In 1848, California became Uni­
ted States territory. That same
year gold was discovered in the
Sacramento Valley and the rush
of people to California began.
The population grew so rapidly
that in 1850 California was ad­
mitted as the thirty-first state
of the Union. With l.j 158,297
sqqare miles, it is the largest
state except Texas. Politically,
Its power has been rapidly grow­
ing. California now has thirteen
presidential electors.
