PRESIDENT COOLIDGE APPROVES CALIFORNIA FORESTRY BILLS President Coolidge has signed the bill authorizing an appropriation of $50,000 for the establishment of a forest experiment station in California, according to report of the United States forest service district headquarters in San Francisco. This measure, sponsored by Senators Samuel M. Shortridge and Hiram W. Johnson and Congressman Walter F. Lineberger, will place research and investigative work in forestry on a par with like activities in agriculture, forestry officials state. Other important forestry bills recently approved by the President are: An amendment to the Clarke-McNary act of 1924, introduced by Senator Shortridge and Congressman Lineberger, authorizing the expenditure of federal funds in co-operation with states for the protection of watersheds, both timbered and brush covered, against damage and destruction by fire, and a bill introduced by Congressman John D. Fredericks and Senator Shortridge authorizing the issuance by the secretary of agriculture of a free permit to the city of Los Angeles for the use of 5000 acres of land within the Angeles national forest for the maintenance of a free public camp ground. District Forester Paul G. Redington in commenting on this new legislation said: "Friends of forestry in California will be greatly heartened to learn of the President's approval of the bill for a forest experiment station in this state. California, with one of the last great reservoirs of virgin timber in the United States, with watershed resources that are of paramount importance of the session. It is also of interest to note that during the past four years congress has spent $350,000,000 less than was proposed. At the next session of congress, Madden will call up his resolution which would result in making income taxes automatic. This plan would do away with continuous income tax legislation, although in an emergency congress would have the power to repeal the act. The plan would mean that when the treasury had a surplus of over $50,000,000, a proportionate automatic decrease would be made in every one's income tax. It is known here that President Coolidge has for some time been having an extensive survey of government financial conditions made, as he is determined not only to save the taxpayers' money, but to cut off all needless expenditures; all of which means the carrying out of his promise to the people that whenever possible federal taxes would be lowered. The action of the United States senate, by decisive vote of 64 to 11, in removing Senators La Follette, Brookhart, Ladd and Frazier from their Republican committee places must not be construed as a mere partisan demonstration, but deserves to be considered as a natural and logical step toward establishing responsibility in government and efficiency in administration. It is not at all surprising to find that Walsh of Montana, Hefflin of Alabama and Ashurst of Arizona, vociferous Democrats, made vehement protest against such a move because they appreciated that if the Republicans succeeded that it would make for a better service for all the people, and that the Republican party would be contemplated in the meantime be cared for by funds raised existing channels—motorways and the present gasoline cents. The people of California and better highways. I much doubt as to their way pay for them through the increased gasoline tax popularly believed to be true. The adoption of this will take care of any contingency arising in future structure and expenditure effectually dispose of each program. Sufficient fund year's work will be necessary of submitting budget and a detailed position would force the mission to carefully study each biennium and maintain year's activities each year. What is more, the publicly advised in advance where the money was to be it would appear that West amendment is a one and a solution of the increase controversy at S.

It is initiate measures most wishing natural resource employ every means for supply undiminished. The action would not have been properly if it had not chase saving of the fish in river last fall, and it wo District Forester Paul G. Redington in commenting on this new legislation said: "Friends of forestry in California will be greatly heartened to learn of the President's approval of the bill for a forest experiment station in this state. California, with one of the last great reservoirs of virgin timber in the United States, with watershed resources that are of paramount importance and with an outstanding forest fire problem, is a fertile field for research work. The forest service has for a number of years been engaged in investigative work designed to bring about the utmost use of our forests compatible with continuous production, but the need for research is so great and the vital problems of our forest lands so closely related to the prosperity of this commonwealth that the surface has hardly been scratched. Due credit should be given for the passage of this forest experiment station bill to our state senators and congressmen and to the California Development Association for unremitting efforts on behalf of this legislation. The State Board of Forestry also has a bill before the legislature now in session which authorizes an appropriation of $10,000 for co-operation with the forest service in the research work to be carried on at this new station. "The amendment by congress of the Clarke-McNary act now makes it possible for the federal government to co-operate with the state and interested counties and organizations in the protection of valuable watersheds from which water is secured for domestic use or irrigation, irrespective of whether they are covered with timber or brush. Under the provisions of this amendment it will be possible to give added protection to brush covered watersheds which are the source of water supply for highly developed agricultural sections. This will be of particular benefit to the ranchers and orchardists of Southern California." "Under the terms of the Shortridge Fredericks bill, the people of Los Angeles county will now enjoy the advantages of a great public camp ground in the mountains of the Angeles forest. This camp will be located in Swarthout valley, adjacent to a recreation area already owned by the county, and will be developed for public use by the county board of supervisors." "Under the terms of the Shortridge-Fredericks bill, the people of Los Angeles county will now enjoy the advantages of a great public camp ground in the mountains of the Angeles forest. This camp will be located in Swarthout valley, adjacent to a recreation area already owned by the county, and will be developed for public use by the county board of supervisors." WASHINGTON NOTES It is more than likely that the income taxes paid by the people of the nation will be cut next year. This result can be accomplished if the suggestions of President Coolidge to congress and the heads of the different departments of the federal government are carried out to the fullest extent. It would mean that the income tax rates now in force would be cut at least 25 per cent for next year, by a bill which will be introduced at the early part of the next session of congress. President Coolidge has had several conferences with Representative Martin Madden, chairman of the appropriations committee in the House, in regard to the matter and Madden is confident that if congress will back up the President the cut in income taxes for next year can be accomplished. An interesting sidelight into the matter of appropriations this year is that, by heeding the President's directions, appropriations $8,000,000 below the budget's estimates were passed at the last session of the sixty-eighth congress; put in plain language, this means that even with the figures of the budget taken as a basis, congress, at the direction of the President, has saved $8,000,000 more of the taxpayers' money than was hoped for at the COMPROMISE NECESSARY ON GASOLINE TAX Some legislators at Sacramento believe that if highway development in California is to be assured, a compromise will have to be effected in the fight the state highway commission is making to obtain additional revenues by the imposition of a gasoline tax increase. If this be so, constitutional amendment No. 33, introduced by Senators Roy Fellom of San Francisco and Thomas C. West of Alameda offers an admirable basis for compromise. The Fellom-West measure requires the highway commission to submit to the legislature a budget of proposed expenditures for each biennial period and provides that if existing revenues from all sources for highway purposes shall not be sufficient to cover the budget, as approved, the legislature may authorize the sale of bonds for new construction, not in excess of $60,000,000 first applying the available funds to overhead repairs, maintenance and construction. The authors at first favored a total limitation of $75,000,000, but their revised estimate is $60,000,000. Only such bonds would be authorized at any legislative session as would be necessary to take care of an existing deficiency between available revenues and a definite program for construction of new roads. There is much in this amendment to commend it. Unlike the proposed gasoline tax increase, it places no further burden on taxpayers, particularly motor vehicle owners, who already are overtaxed. The bond issues For several months this committee of Nine has been intensive study of these sentenced by proposed and legislation for compulsory insurance or security. It represents the stock companies and agency the automobile liability its report, with supplementary random, has just been forth the attitude of the agents on this problem.

The problem of secur responsibility for auto can be solved only by laws. Confusion and be the result if they should each go its own liaison now proposed or The large majority in automobile accident way or degree be best pulsary security. Event to be benefited many contemplated in the measure would be cared for by funds raised through existing channels—motor vehicle fees and the present gasoline tax of 2 cents. The people of California want more and better highways. But there is much doubt as to their willingness to pay for them through the medium of an increased gasoline tax, which is popularly believed to be unnecessary. The adoption of this amendment will take care of any possible contingency arising in future road construction and expenditures. It will effectually dispose of each biennium's program. Sufficient funds for a normal year's work will be assured. The necessity of submitting an itemized budget and a detailed plan of operation would force the highway commission to carefully study the program each biennium and maintain a normal year's activities each year. What is more, the public would be fully advised in advance of the places where the money was to be spent. It would appear that the Fellom-West amendment is a meritorious one and a solution of the gasoline tax increase controversy at Sacramento. INCREASE FEE ASKED FOR SPORTING LICENSES According to law, to the State Fish and Game Commission is delegated the protection and conservation of fish and game. It is for them to initiate measures most worthwhile in conserving natural resources and to employ every means for keeping the supply undiminished. The commission would not have been functioning properly if it had not championed the saving of the fish in the Klamath river last fall, and it would be negligible failure to secure the protection intended. But while benefiting very few of the public, a compulsory security law would burden and penalize the immense multitude of motorists, because of the faults of a relatively few of them, would increase the cost of insurance, and cause a large and wasteful increase in public expenditures, litigation, court congestion and jury duty. Compulsory security would be objectionable in principle. Consequently it should not be resorted to unless after a trial of adequate measures for accident prevention, its necessity be conclusively demonstrated; and, if then resorted to, an option among all practicable methods of providing the security should be allowed. There is no question about the need for protecting the public against the automobile menace. But there is a serious question whether compulsory automobile security would be a true remedy or a burdensome and wasteful panacea.

Center St. According to law, to the State Fish and Game Commission is delegated the protection and conservation of fish and game. It is for them to initiate measures most worthwhile in conserving natural resources and to employ every means for keeping the supply undiminished. The commission would not have been functioning properly if it had not championed the saving of the fish in the Klamath river last fall, and it would be negligent of its duty if it did not at this time champion an increased fee for a hunting and angling license. To maintain a patrol force takes more money today than it did 10 years ago. To rear fish in a hatchery and buy food for them costs twice as much as it did 10 years ago. The whole work of protecting and conserving fish and game life increases annually because of a greater levy made upon those species hunted for food and sport. Every magazine subscriber has within the past few years found it necessary to pay more for his magazine. To believe that increasing demands on the commission for better law enforcement and increased attention to restocking streams and game covers can be continued on the present nominal license fee is unthinkable. The sportsmen of the state almost unanimously have asked for an increased license, expecting to get a fair return for the increased sum as they have felt a fair return on their present investment. If the same sentiment prevails among the general taxpayers, who have no particular interest in fish and game, proper support for the measure now before the legislature is assured. The one aim of the commission is adequately to carry on its work. The sole source of income is from the sale of hunting and angling licenses and from fines collected from violators." This income has not increased correspondingly with the necessary conservation work and the present move for increased funds is considered all important from the standpoint of "more game and fish."

COMPULSORY AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE For several months past, a "Committee of Nine" has been making an intensive study of the problem presented by proposed and pending legislation for compulsory automobile insurance or security. This committee represents the stock casualty insurance companies and agents that insure the automobile liability hazard; and its report, with supplementary memorandum, has just been issued setting forth the attitude of those companies and agents on this very important problem. The gist of the report is as follows: Compulsory automobile insurance or security would be only a palliative. The true remedy is accident prevention. Automobile accidents can be largely reduced. The way thereto has been clearly blazed in the report of the first national conference on street and highway safety (Secretary Hoover's conference), recently published. Legislation to carry out the recommendations of that conference should be given primary consideration. In any event, no measure for compulsory automobile security should be enacted until after adequate measures for accident prevention have been put into effect. The problem of securing financial responsibility for automobile accidents can be solved only by uniform state laws. Confusion and disorder would be the result if the various states should each go its own way with legislation now proposed or pending. The large majority of those injured in automobile accidents would in no way or degree be benefited by compulsory security. Even of those sought to be benefited, many would in prac- Notice is hereby given to the electors of the Anaheim Union High School District, County of Orange, State of California, that the Annual Election for High School Trustees will be held in the Public Schoolhouses in said district on the last Friday in March, viz., March 27, 1925.
