Behind these thirteen willing tools masquerade the representative of these special interests which seek to dictate appointments on the Railroad Commission and direati-its have i part in the selection of judges in our courts and to gain such dominion over the various agencies of government as can serve the advantage and profit of those who thus seek to exploit our state. DESIGNING GKOTr. This designing and powerful group which kerps itself in the background is ready to finance generously an aggressive campaign to dominate the governorship and the next legislature.

It is a huge money-making enterprise, for if they can fix tux rates, obtain special privileges as they may desire them, extra influences ovor the Railroad Commission, the courts and other functions of government, their gains would run into untold They boast that they nave St. 0(10, 000 to spend In next year's" election. That would be a small investment for them, compared with the great riches they wmrid take from the people of California should this remarkable political venture prove successful. It Is timely to utter the warning that these interests already have their agents in the field and 'arc al this early date marshaling their forces. Money is being spent and puh-llcjiy is being used to poison the minds of the people concerning the government of, California, which is in fact one of the most economically administered states in the Union.

I say this advisedly and emphatically. An unprejudiced investigation will prove this statement absolutely true. ECONOMY PROPAGANDA. The propaganda "Economy" conducted In this profit-seeding enterprise Is based on bald misrepresentation and misstatement. For three weeks In the legislature last winter open hearings were held on the state budget and the representatives of the Better American Federation were, challenged to point out where reductions might he made.

They attempted to but. succeeded onlv in giving a sorry exhibition, of their lack of good faith. The budget was not only sustained, but was added to hy the vtjtes of the men who now complain so A situation of great menace Confronts California and the people mustv he awake and alert If misgoverrtment and misrule are' not again to hold sway In our state.

In issuing this which was said to have been the result of a long conference, here last night, the signers announced thehy represented 'no candidate or any interest other than the -welfare of our and the people of California." TEXT OF STATEMENT." The statement follows: lino to consistent misrepresentation of the go ernmenta! conditions California, a situation vilallv nffectlr.g the welfare and prosperity ofjthe state has arisen.

The cost of. government in California lias Increased beyond the. danger point, and the present, attitude and past performance's of those now in power is a guarantee that people will get no relief from them. therefore, necessary that tln present administration be ousted from power. The governor if frantically campaigning up and down the state -at state expense-attempting to justify his repudiation of past campaign pledges misrepresenting facts and figures and' doing nil in his power to minimize the acute necessity for a reduction in state expenditures.

It is apparent that, the attitude of the present administration with reference Ik that the j. amount should any. sid era tic not be. limited by I nor determined by actual state necessities. Bather, it, has seemed -to he the intention of those in poner to levy to trie utmost upon all sources of dtsre- garding and Ignoring thi inescapable fact that each citizen in this state must bear his equal share of (ilT'taTTifardlesH of the, man-" ner in they are collected, cither directly or indirectly.

Governor V.

D. Stephens last night "issued i a counter statement In which he charged that these legislators were "the tools of special interests seek ing to exploit the state." TEXT OF STATEMENT. Governor Stephens' statement In full follows: Regardless of whethor or not I shall be a candidate for re-election next year. I desire towarn jhe people of California that the ut 1 lee, ,1 Angeles, by thirteen members of the legislature marks the formal opening of the boldest movement ever attempted In California's history to control and corrupt the state, government. The record of these thirteen members, at the last session was fullest extent, but thus far In California the policy of retrenchment lias been discarded for a policy of Intrenrhment.

By reason of plausible excuses, by willful manipulation of figures, hy self-praise and taudation, and by a monumental system of patronage thta reaches from one end of the state -to the other, the administration confidently expects to becloud real issues and again capture Lthe state at the next election. The administration realizes its complete failure to fulfill the frequently uttered pledge of Governor Stephens four years ago that hft-1 would bring about a reduction in state expense Therefore, the governor and others discard economy as a vote-getting medium and now discuss F.conomy Is a concrete subject and one with which he a verago man is thoroughly conversant, both in bis business and his home, but) efficiency is an altogether different! matter and may mean little or nothing tn a genuine, discussion of the practical results of the Stephens administration. $01,000,000 Bl'DGET. While It -was iVrftiosslhle for the governor and his henchmen to go before the people of the state, and justify a $91,000,000 budget on an economy basis, they eeem confident of their ability to do so on the 'e-fi' iency' basis, and this despite the fact that cost of government In California has increased in ten years more than five times faster than the growth of population and more than four times greater than the rate tf increase in the state's wealth, public evwn more dangerous to welfare than his disregard of some financial methods is the governor's successiful effort to usurp legislative imctioriir, functions designed to check executive domination, and autocracy, but under the Stephens regime made to serve un exactly opposite purpose. At the last session of the legislature the executive branch almost wholly dominated both branches ef the legielatui obtaining such legislation as the administration legred and throttling such legislation as the administration opposed.

A continuation of this situation in California for another four years will find the present machine so firmly intrenched as-to make almost impossible any genuine governmental reform. i i thrillers.
