report just rendered by’ the State
Railroad Commission, will probably
use up more shoe leather during the
next couple years than they have in

The war program, says the Railroad Commission, has brought tremendous’ transportation. problems to
California—and the average citizen
doesn’t yet realize the half oi it!
‘Commission President Justus }
Craemer exp!ains it thus:

will do no good and defeat neither Hitler nor the Japanese to
harp on Britain in India. President McKinley in the PhilinPines, nor any nation’s former effort to remain neutral and
aloof from today’s perils.”
__QOur resolution, declares the Sacramento Bee, must be
stiffened by advirsity, continuing:
“A review of the events of the last eight weeks should
destroy the last vestige of any equanimity or complacency in
Washington. It is the solemn duty of our government also to
forget all the side issves. all the minor questions, all the buteaucratic jealousies and personal contentions and_ concen“trate 100 per cent on winning the war. It can do nothing less
and fulfill the obligations to those whom it has summoned
to sacrifice and service,”
=e “One bright hint comes in the news from the war front”
concludes the Madera Daily Tribune, “not a large one, but
something for the public to cling to as a last straw. The Marshall and Gilbert islands raids were conducted as a test of Am.

bring new problems to our transportation lines, All are operating at
of securing additional equipment is
becoming very difficult.”
The three billion dolar war industries program of California, declares. Mr. Craemer, tends to unbalance our entire population structure.
Take for instance, the City of San
Diego, which has recorded an inerease in population of more than
100,000 within the last ‘two years.
Sixteen months ago, the San Die:o
Electric Railway system operated 50
busses; today it has 180 in operation
and still cannot meet the demand.
As a result, it is buying second-hand
street cars and has an ambitious
program under way to install additional street car facilities-in every
section of the city.
Stmilar situations exist in Vallejo;-Richmond, Burbank, Santa Monica, Glendale: Inglewood, Long
Beach and, in fact, all harbor areas
within the state.
