HT FOR WflTEfiSUPPLY
WOK BY HEARST PAPERS
ELABORATE PLANS LAID TO MAKE
XMAS FUND-GIVING ATTRACTIVE
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. — For
twelve years, just so Ions; as the city
of San Francisco has sought to ae-
, ; :re Hetch-Hetchy Valley as a site*
,\ jr i reservoir for its water supply,
just so long has William Randolph
Hearst fought with all the power of
i,. s great papers to get this pure wi\-
l(>r supply for the hundreds of thou*
, in ds of inhabitants of that city, ani
t» his < ampaign more than to any
rther one thing is due the victory just
In season and out of aeason the
j;,arst papers, from Boston to At-
i. from New York to San Fran-
, v have urged editorially that Con
gress give the people of San Francis *o
the right to convert the mosquito-
r..iden. Inaccessible valley of Hetch-
Hetchy Into a reservoir for the im
pounding of the pure mountain
„:reams, to safeguard the health not
onl> of the citizens of the city, but of
the millions who pjiss through it an
nually on their way to other destina
tions.
The closing weeks of the campaign
t ere marked by two great achieve
ments carried out under the direct
personal orders and supervision of
Mr. Hearst. which struck tremen
dous blows in behalf of the project
and which illustrate better than any
thing ever done before in any coun
try of the world just what Is meant
by newspaper enterprise
Special Edition of Paper Aids
These were the special Hetch-
Hetchy edition of The San Francisco
Examiner, published in Washington/
*u8t Tuesday, and the preparation of
a great petition from the citizens of
ran Francisco and the residents of
tae contiguous territory appealing to
Congress to grant the plea.
Few persons outside the newspaper
profession realize Just what It cost in
money, energy and talent to prepare
and publish the special Hetch-Hetchy
edition of Th« Examiner, which pre
sented to the members of the Senate
n graphic form the facts in the argu
ment of San Francisco and the falsi
ties in the argument of the water
power interests which oppose :h<;
grant.
When Mr. Hearst issued orders for
the preparation of the special edition,
he indicated that no expense should be
spared to make it the most impressive
publication that possibly could be
compiled.
Mr. Edward L. Hamilton, vetera i
of tin* San Francisco office, was
rushed East with a special staff of
aides, every one of tvhom was thor
oughly conversant with the situation.
Artists and men skilled in preparing
“copy” and making up newspapers
were hurried to Washington from
New York. The entire Washington
bureau of the Hearst service, num
bering about 25 men, were placed at
Hamilton’s disposal. The work of
preparing the edition, including writ
ing article* gathering the inter
views. makine sketches and cuts a.nd
printing the edition wa» accomplished
in about three days.
<>n Tuesday morning, four rlavs be
fore the date set for a vote on the bill,
every member of the Senate found on
desk in his office a copy of this
special edition, on the first nage of
,iioh appeared a sufficient reason for
i:> being, and a reproduction of a
r»tice issued bv the company which
),w supplies San Francisco with wa
ter warning the people to conserve
every drop, as “the water consumy-
• on now exceeds the dependable sup-
;■'.;. available for distribution.”
Pleas by Noted Persons.
Accompanying this warning, on the
ime page, were statements by Vice
President Marshall, Secretary o 1
State Bryan, Secretary of the Inte
rior Lane and Secretary of Agricul-
'.re Houston, urging that San Fran-
isco’s appeal be not heard in vain
** remaining fifteen pages of the
-pecial edition were filled with simi-
statements by noted engineers,
>t;tte and city officials of California,
members of Congress and other men
and women high in public life, all to
the same effect.
Mr. Hearst’s San Francisco Ex
aminer, which has been, of course, a
devoted advocate of the Hetch-Hetchy
reservoir site for many years, lent a
great stimulus to the fight for the
adoption of the Hetch-Hetchy bill in
the preparation of the petition above
referred to.
In repeated editorials The Exam
iner asked its readers to write per
sonally to members of the Senate,
urging upon them the imperative ne
cessity of a water supply for San
Francisco and its neighborhood, and
requiring them to vote for the Heteh-
He-chy bill.
As a result of this appeal, thou
sands of letters were sent to Wash
ington, among them letters from the
most influential citizens and organi
zations in the State.
As a final argument to lay before
the Senate The Examiner had print
ed and circulated throughout San
Francisco and all the territory tribu
tary to the metropolis a petition to
the Senate of the United States call
ing for its favorable vote upon the
bill giving San Francisco the only
available water supply adequate to
Its present and future needs.
Signatures Pour in.
The petition was first circulated on
Saturday, November 22. Citizens
every where seized the opportunity to
sign it with enthusiasm. A minia
ture petition was printed each day r in
The Examiner. Readers were asked
to sign this and return by mail.
Every mail following the first pub
lication of this petition brought hun
t-red s of signatures.
Wednesday', November 26. was the
last day upon which the petition was
at the disposal of citizens. Although
the five days during which the peti
tion was in circulation Included two
holidays, Sunday and .Jupipero Serra
Day, a state holiday, more than 15,000
signatures were affixed.
This petition, signed by the Gov
ernor of the State and the Mayor of
San Francisco, was brought to Wash
ington in charge, of Mayor Rolph, of
San Francisco, and was laid before
the Senate.
The mass of signatures affixed to
the petition indicates how earnestly
the people of California desire this
water supply for San Francisco, for
which that city has been fighting for
twelve years.
Every class of citizen was repre
sented among the names on the peti
tion. Entire communities remote from
San Francisco, which rely upoi the
metropolis for their welfare and de
velopment, signed the petition en
masse.
Civic Organizations in Plea.
Clubs, social and improvement or
ganizations were represented on the
petition in a body, through the names
of their presidents and secretaries
The people of San Francisco and
the communities tributary to it real
ized in The Examiner petition an
opportunity to make a direct and per
sonal appeal to the Senate for the
water supply of w'hich San Francisco
stands so greatly in need.
A great number of names were
signed to the petition in Oakland and
the cities across the bay from San
Francisco, thus refuting claims late
ly made by Senator Works, in the
name of the people of Oakland, that
that city was not fully protected by
Hetch-Hetdhy bill.
Signatures of a great many mem
bers of the Sierra Club were found on
the petition as a protest against the
opposition of a section of the club to
the reservoir site in the Hetch-Hetchy
Valley. In addition to signing the
petition, many members of the Sierra
Club wrote letters to The Examiner
vigorously denouncing the theory that
the formation of a lake in the valley
would mar its beauty and make it
less attractive to nature lovers.

Citizens of Sah Francisco
Rejoice Over Great Victory
WASHINGTON. Dec. 8.—Some of
most prominent citizens of San
Francisco expressed their joy over
tLe passage c-f the Hetch-Hetchy bill,
Hie fight for which was led by William
Randolph Hearst. Some of the opin
ions are given below:
JAMES D. PHELAN, Former Mayor
of San Francisco—Hard as San
Francisco has worked for a water
supply, she does not know the value
of her victory, Water she will have
for domestic uses, for street and
fire, for trees and fountains; power
for light and street car propulsion
and universal mechanical use for
me and factory. The Army Board
reported that *the power privilege
a loro was worth $45,000,000, which
is mure than the cost of the present
plans of construction and distribu
tion. In good season we must flting-
’ recognize the services of the Sen-
* ors and (’ongressmen and admin-
itive officers at Washington mi
our public servants at home. The
special edition of The San FYancIsco
Examiner was a stroke of enterprise
which greatly aided the fight and
which should be included in the
unanimous vote of thanks.

[ ful outcome of Its efforts on secur
ing a perpetual grant for a future
permanent source of water supply.
There is no record in existence of
such vicious, malignant, deceitful
j and persistent antagonism as has
been offered against this measure.
The citizens of San Francisco and
the bay cities should tender their
gratitude to those honorable mem
bers of the House of Representa
tives and the Senate for their ear
nest advocacy of the measure. Too
much can not be said in praise of
the good missionary work of Con
gressmen Kent, Baker, Nolan, Kahn
and Knowland in the House and
Senators Perkins, Pittman, Myers,
Norris, Thomas, Walsh, Reed.
Thompson of Kansas, Ashurst and
Mark Smith of Arizona and Lippitt
of Rhode Island, each of whom ad
vocated the city’s rights to the
grant. Messrs. Kent and Pittman
were untiring in their efforts all the
past summer in the city’s cause, and
made manv personal sacrifices to
ward its success, for which due ap
preciation can not be given.
ALEXANDER T. VOGELSANG.
Member of San Francisco Board of
Supervisors -The people of the bav
counties and of Stanilaus County
are to be seriously congratulated on
the passage of the Hetch-Hetchy
bill. It Is now imperative that the
city undertake speedily and In ear
nest the settlement and construction
of an adequate water supply, both
locally and from the Sierras When
both supplies are owned by the city,
her growth and development will
astonish the world. The farmers
who have expressed fears that their
welfare will be injured or impeded
bv the city’s development soon will
learn that their apprehensions are
unfounded and baseless. For all
time Stanilaus County, with the
, v- .peration and friendship of Han
Fran« - isco, will be the garden spot < f
the United States.
it shell have abundant water all
he year; shall bloom us the rose

Truly* it was an epoch-making

Pittman, of Nevada, and that grand |
old warrior, Perkins, of California, j
GEORGE C. PERKINS, Senator
From California—The passage of !
the Hetch-Hetchy bill is an impor- ;
taut step in the development of
California. I am sure the future j
will demonstrate that there is suf- ;
fleient water in the Tuolumne River j
to furnish an ample supply not only
for San Francisco’s needs, but for j
the irrigable lands below the dam j
as well.
1 feel deeply grateful to Sena
tors, my colleagues, who have
given the measure their patient
and thorough consideration.
I congratulate the city officials
and the patriotic citizens who have
advocated and worked for the
Hetch-Hetchy bill. The press . has
i rendered most valuable aid, and
Mr. Hearst’s special edition of The
| Examiner should be given great
J credit, for the final victory.
PERLEV V. LONG, City and County
Attorney of San Francisco—The
action of the Senate to-day means
that San Francisco has progressed
along the lines of public owner
ship. The Hearst publications have
contributed very largely to this re
sult. Standing almost alone among
the great publishers of the East in
the advocacy of the Hetch-Hetchy
measure, Mr. Hearst has consis
tently and earnestly urged that San
Francisco be given the grant. Th«
measure of his influence has been
great, and San Francisco is the
beneficiary. The result is far-
reaching, and the ready response
by Congress to our appeals is grat
ifying. _
HENRY F. A8HURST, Senator From
Arizona—'Hie State of California
as usual, came out victorious In
this contest, notwithstanding the
fact that a most wicked and insid
ious lobby had developed in oppo
sition to the Hetch-Hetchy bill.
The enterprise of Mr. William
Randolph Hearst in publishing a
special edition of The Examiner,
giving all the facts and developing
all the reasons why the bill should
pass, was a powerful factor in sup
plying the requisite and .accurate
information on which the Senate J
was able to form a proper opinion !
a« to the necessity and propriety |
of this legislation. Mr. Hearst has |
frequently shown bis great loyalty
and love for his native State, and j
on this occasion he measured up to ,
the fullest requirements of loyalty
and devotion.

pretty good thing to
begm i with a little reminder
of the ; . stocking Fund of The
Georgian n*. Sunday American, and
of what it means.
For a whole week now you have
heard every day about the ambitious
plans arranged to make it attractive
to give. You have heard of the tango
party that will be held at the Wine-
coff Hotel after the theater Monday
night. You have heard of the all-
star matinee Friday. You have heard
of the dolls to be dressed.
You have heard these things until
you are about to fall into the danger
of forgetting what it is all about.
What do you think of a word just
now of the spirit behind it all?
Suppose we talk to-day of little
Johnny Merritt, who never dreamed
of a tango party, and whose theatri
cal experience has been limited to a
wistful inspection of the blight-col
ored lithographs that stand on the
outside of all moving picture shows,
end who thinks of Santa Claus only
to feel a little dull ache in his heart,
an ache that has a whole lot of envy
in it because he hears the other boys
and girls talk happily of the Christ
mas that will be here soon.
Dreads Day Others Welcome.
Johnny can't conceive of Christmas
and happiness together. Christmas,
he thinks, will be a day like last Sun
day—a cold, wet, gray day, with no
fire inside the house, and no sun out
side. a day made miserable by a
lingering hunger for goodies* to eat.
and by his child whimper for some
thing that he wants, without know
ing what it is.
A stocking 'with just the toe full of
candj and a single orange would sat
isfy that hunger. A horn or a wood
en gun. or—oh, no, it could never be
—a cowboy suit, would quiet that
pitiful whimper.
And a whole pair of shoes and
warm stockings probably would have
the effect of brightening the whole
winter for him.
That’s a moral effeut, y«»u know,
because contentment makes a g<»«d
boy. where discontentment would
make even a G-year-old person surl>
and cross, and a fruitful field for the
germ of bitterness.
Johnny, ragged little fellow, can’t
arouse much cheerfulness by his
thoughts of Christmas. But the
Christinas Editor is here to Tel! you—
Unit is. if you won’t tell Johnny—that
the little bov is in for a great sur
prise.

Johnny Merritt, but for the hundreds
of other little boys and girls and
work-stooped women and helpless
men of Atlanta, who are in the same
plight that Johnny is, and who are
thinking of Christmas wdth the same
thoughts as Johnny’s.
Atlanta people are listening to the
appeal of the Christmas Editor, that
person is proud to inform you. And,
as this story has told you once before,
a number of arrangements have been
made »<> that it will be attractive to
give There is the tango party, now,
for instance.
It will be a giorious affair. It will
be epoch-making, because, if all the
plans w*ork out, Atlanta will see
something of an after-theater party
that ought to become* an institution.
There is too little of bright, enjoy

And the next attractive feature—
the all-star matinee Friday. The
money that you pay t«» hear and see
Robert Edeson, and Wilton Laekaye,

and of the vaudeville star, Yvette,

there will be others, without doubt—
the money that you give over to come

the Empty Stocking Fund and will be
devoted to purchasing the dream that
little Johnny is afraid won’t corns

A well-known citizen an! taxpayer
of Houston County, who f«ir reasons
of his own asks that his name be not
used, talked most interestingly in the
lobby of the Anslev to-day of the new
tax equalization law as it effects his
county.
The condition of things in Houston
Is so typical of the condition in many
other counties in Georgia that what
this man said is significant, and may
well be considered thoughtfully by ail
citizens, especially officials, in other
localities.
He said: “The Houston Board of
Founty < Vunmissioners met in regular
monthly session in Perry recently, and
among th * business transacted was
the selection of three representative
citizens t«* serve as local equalizers «>f
taxes, hs required by the new tax law
enacted at the last session of the Leg
islature.
"For this very Important work the
commissioners chose Messrs E. M.
Fagan, of Fort Valley; Jerry H. Davis,
of Lakeside, and J. F. Hammock, of
Dunbar. These gentlemen all are suc
cessful business men, and if they w ill
consent to serve, can render a dis
tinct and valuable service to the coun
ty by carrying out fearlessly and
without favor the spirit and intent,
as well as the expressed provisions of
the new
"Where it is published to the world,'
as it now is, that a county as large
as Houston has returned tax values
amounting to but a fraction over $3,-
000,000, and that the tax rate is $18
per thousand, prospectors and in
vestors alike are frightened off, un
less special inquiry is made as to the
real and not apparent condition of
affairs, but let the equalizers perforin
their sworn duty, as the above gen
tlemen unquestionably will, and as
sess property for at least half its
value, the returns wffll easily show
a four-fold increase, anti the rate of
taxation will be correspondingly de
creased, which showing will prove at
tractive alike to foreign capital for
investment and the homeseeker.
“Now, I am a taxpayer tn Houston
County—not the biggest one, but a
substantial one—and I have a selfish
interest in the intelligent enforce
ment of this new law. I believe it
will furnish the State much more
needed revenue; that it will approxi
mately tlx values at the REAL status,
and that it will eventually LOWER
my tax rate, and my aggregate
amount of taxes, perceptibly.
“If only the best men obtainable
may he elected to, and will serve on
the local boards throughout the State,
the new law will prove to-be the very
greatest blessing that has come to
Georgia since the war!”
The Rockmart News has had Us ear
to he ground up in North Georgia re
cently, and it thinks it may have
heard something.
The News says: “Notwithstanding
the fact, tfiat the General Assembly
has a measure before that bodv radi
cally changing the plan of supplying
schoolbooks to the children of the
State, the State Board of Education
on Thursday last adopted schoolbooks
for the next five years. It is to the
credit of Governor Slaton. State
School Superintendent Brittain and
Professor T. J. Woofter thAt they di.1
everything in their power to prevent
action at the present time. As we
understand it, for the first time the
State attempts to prescribe the books
that are to be used in the high schools
of the State, leaving local boards no
I authority whatever. We have not
heard the last of this schoolbook
j adoption.”
The News doubtless is correct—
likely enough we haven’t yet heard
“the last of this schoolbook adoption,”
not by a long shot!
According to Commissioner of
Commerce and I^abor H. M. Stanley,
the textile industry has grown to be
the most important in Georgia.
At the close of the year 1912 there
j were 177 mills in operation in Geor
gia. representing a capital invest
ment of $77,000,000. The Commis
sioner's report for the same period
showed in detail the other manufac
turing enterprises of the State, and
attracted much attention at the time.
This year’s report will not show
any very great increase in the num
ber of manufacturing enterprises, al
though there have been some addi
tions. All plants that were going a
year ago are going to-day, however,
and none of them are running at a
loss.
The past year has been r good one,
and the next should, in the opinion
of the Commissioner, show a decided
increase in manufacturing invest
ments, and likely will.
It is stated that John W. Bennett
w f ill be a candidate for judge of the
Waycross Circuit in the primaries
next year, and that he will be opposed
by Colonel F. Willis Dart, of Douglas,
and J. L. Summerall, of Blacks-hear.
The race is sure to be a heated one,
with the result at this time rather
bard to forecast.
Judge Quincey, recently appointed
to succeed Judge Parker, will not, it
Is understood, be a candidate to suc
ceed himself, desiring to fill the un
expired term of his predecessor only.
Judg< Augustus W. Fite, of the
Cherokee Circuit, recently sentenced
his first minister of the Gospel. The
offending party’s name is J. W. C.
West and he seems to have been a
sort of near-minister, although duly
accredited.
He was convicted in Judge Fite's
court of being a "blind tiger,” and his
honor stacked up a mild fine against
him, $25 only, along with fifteen days
In jail, to think things over.
Judge Fite said he never before had
