State Commission of Immigration and Housing. On the face of it, a housing commission should have more to do with house rents than a railroad commission. We once heard a city council discuss with much acrimony the matter of trimming shade trees at a public park. "I want those trees trimmed according to Hoyle," declared the mayor, with an air of finality. "If his honor will direct me to the chapter of Hoyle that deals with the trimming of trees, his wish' shall be carried out," answered the commissioner of streets.

We know of nothing in the grant of powers of the railroad commission that authorizes it to step between landlord and tenant, but probably Mr. Gordon does. If so, more According to this morning's dispatches the San Francisco Tenants' Protective association has engaged counsel with the purpose in view of appealing to the supreme court for a "writ of mandate to compel a certain landlord to reduce rent which the association claims is exorbitant. Hugh Gordon, attorney for the association, is of the opinion that a writ of mandate might establish the jurisdiction of the state railroad commission and "determine whether that commission might interfere' to check the profiteering landlords. It is not easy for a layman to understand how the state Railroad commission could take up a case like this.

Lowry tells in Collier's Weekly that he went to Sacramento for the express purpose of learning some incidents of the life of Hiram Johnson, so that he might include them in an article which he was preparing for that periodical. He found it hard to get anything. Hiram Johnson himself had told him: "If you are to write an article about me, you won't have to go back of 1910.

Before that time I was either in school or wearing a path between my house and my office. The ten years since 1910 are all of my life." Yet Mr. Lowry did hear one story. General Grant visited Sacramento on his famous tour of the world. Grant and William A.

Mills entered a public school, and the teachers were at a loss to extend the proper welcome. (Finally one teacher exclaimed that equal to any emergency. "Hiram she said, "is not afraid to face the great man." So, according to the story, "the world's great military chieftain" displayed much emotion during young Hiram's recital of "Slier, idan's and "his voice trembled as he openly complimented the lad on his forensic ability." Of course there was an appropriate climax, and it was this: "Hiram," said the teacher, as the lad resumed his seat, "I prophesy there are many here today who will yet see you standing in General Grant's shoes." Mr. Lowry says he cannot accept Hiram Johnson's word for it that the story is not true; that he never made a speech before General Grant. Johnson himself is the only Sacramentan who does not believe the story.
