Golden State Stands Fourth in Valuation Surpassed Only by New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania Here's another item that you may now include in the letters you write to the folks back east, if any, telling them of the advantages of California: The Golden State has become the fourth wealthiest state in the Union. You may use the name of State Treasurer Charles G. Johnson to back up the statement. With an assessed valuation of $6,657,-757,880, indicating a real value of more than $12,000,000,000, Johnson ranks California ahead of all states, except New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. New York tops the list with an assessed valuation of $16,233,729,387; Ohio is second with $10,918,568,619, and Pennsylvania third with $10,279,786,485. Massachusetts, California's nearest competitor for fourth place, has an assessed valuation of $6,295,844,243. Trailing Massachusetts are Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin and Illinois, in the order named. Of California's assessed valuation, $5,607,858,340 represents real property and $1,049,959,540 personal property. In per capita wealth California ranks tenth among the states, with an assessed value per inhabitant of $1725.18, as against an average of $1180.58 in the country at large. In cash assets and property of the state government, California stands seventh, with a total of $150,084,408, of which $83,953,492 is invested in state-owned property. In yearly expenditure on state highways California ranks third, with an annual outlay in excess of $8,800,000. The state also stands third in expenditures for schools, second in appropriations for the development of agriculture and fifth in expenditure for hospitals, charities and correctional institutions. Protect Streams About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M.D. HEADACHES. Many people suffer with headaches, indeed few escape this disabling symptom. The cause of headaches may be indicated with tolerable accuracy by the location of the pain in the head. For instance, if the top of the head is the site of pain, the trouble is with over-wrinkles in either sex. If the patient is a woman, the ovaries may be suspected as the cause, which ovarian relatives are likely to relieve. The futility of "headache tablets" is mainly apparent. The cause must be removed. Headaches between the eyes—at the top of the nasal bone—are generally due to disease of the nasal passages; attention to which will produce relief and cure. Headaches over the brows, called "frontal" are in the main due to stomach, where our efforts would be directed. If the pain is above the frontal region, at the margin of the scalp above the forehead attend to constipation. Dental headaches may be due to definite eyesight or glasses; they may also be due to kidney disease; or to a rheumatic condition; or to swelling in an un-natural position long periods.

D. Marx Greene, executive officer of California Fish and Game Commission, to the Bureau of River and Harbor Pollution of that body. Greene declared that the practice had already gone too far, adding that no one in particular seemed to blame therefor, since no concerted effort to enforce the laws relating to this matter had been made in the past. Sums of oil companies now existing in waterways were declared immune for the present by Greene. However, he added, that it was only a question of time until every instance of this sort must be rectified. "Crude oil, as it comes from the producing fields, and the waste of refineries are the two most destructive agents upon fish, plant and bird life in the state," said Greene. "The Bureau of River and Harbor Pollution, specifically charged with the enforcement of the laws covering this matter, was organized on February 1, this year. Since its incipiency it has done a remarkable work in cleaning up infested places, but there are numerous other instances of this kind requiring immediate attention. In a general way we have met with the finest co-operation from citizens and heads of industries in the curbing of pollution conditions, and so far have been forced to file but two court actions to force the mandates of the bureau." Greene declared that the practice of lumber companies dumping mill refuse into streams of the state was another source of pollution, since the production of tannic acid, resultant from such refuse, is one of the most toxic agents in the destruction of trout. Strengthening of patrol facilities in game matters along the California-Oregon border by mutual agreement of the fish and game commissions of the two states, and co-operation between their employes, was perfected during the recent trip of B. D. Marx Greene, executive officer of the California body, to the border line, where he held a series of conferences with representatives due to disease of the national passages, attention to which will produce relief and cure. Headaches over the brows, called "dontal" are in the main due to stomach, where our efforts would be directed. If the pain is worse the frontal region, at the margin of the scalp above the forehead attend to constipation. Headache may be due to definite eyesight or glasses; they may also be due to kidney disease; or to a rheumatic condition; or to walking in an un-natural position for long periods. Massage and physical culture movements, and better still, exercise in the open may wear away such attacks, plainly due to fatigue, unless other causes are apparent. Finally, headaches beneath the eye-brows are attributed to disease of the eye itself. The oculist should be consulted. Remember lastly, that headache tablets are often dangerous, especially so when chosen at random without the advice of a capable physician. Headaches should not be ignored or passed up lightly. They may announce something serious. Next Week: "GALL STONE DISEASE" This Week By Arthur Brisbane NORTH POLE—LADIES' KNEES. WOULD TAX CHURCH LANDS. DANGEROUS BONDS. THE KANSAS FARMER. A heavy spear, with a sharp iron point at one end, a Norwegian flag at the other, was thrown on to the North Pole from the dirigible Norge, says the courageous Mr. Amundsen, therefore the North Pole and all the land around it belong to the King of Norway. The statement is to some extent poetic. The exact location of the North Pole was in all probability not calculated within twenty miles, unless by accident. And there might be some question as to whether throwing a spear at property establishes ownership. lumber companies dumping mill refuse into streams of the state was another source of pollution, since the production of tannic acid, resultant from such refuse, is one of the most toxic agents in the destruction of trout. Strengthening of patrol facilities in game matters along the California-Oregon border by mutual agreement of the fish and game commissions of the two states, and co-operation between their employees, was perfected during the recent trip of B. D. Marx Greene, executive officer of the California body, to the border line, where he held a series of conferences with representatives of the Oregon commission. Greene was accompanied by N. B. Scofield, chief of commercial fisheries department of the California commission, and member of the United States-Mexico International Fish Commission. Oregon was represented by Judge J. W. Maloney, president; Commissioner M. H. Bauer, and Chief Game Warden Ed F. Ayerill. During his stay along the border, Greene spoke before numerous sportsmen's organizations in both California and Oregon, and paid visits to the Oregon fish hatcheries at Klamath Lake, Bend and McKenzie, and the game farm at Eugene. The most important conference of the trip centered about Lower Klamath, where the subject of re-flooding the non-tillable regions was given great consideration by both commissions. While Califognia, as represented by Greene, stood firm for re-flooding, to the end that breeding and resting places for migratory fowl might once more be had in that region, the Oregonians declared themselves as yet unwilling to express an opinion on the matter. However, they gave due consideration to Greene's suggestion that the arable lands be diked off from those capable of producing crops, thus utilizing only the poorer lands in the project. Oregon's commissioners described themselves as "between the devil and the deep, blue sea" on the matter, but an early decision as to their stand is expected.

Randolph, Peoples Bldg, St. Louis, Mo. 4-3tp STATE REAPPORTMENT California's constitution, adopted in 1879, provides for reapportionment of the legislative districts, both Senate and Assembly, every 10 years on the basis of population, following the taking of the federal census. The rapid growth of the larger cities in the three most thickly populated counties, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Alameda, which counties constitute only 3 per cent of the state area, was such that in 1920 those three counties contained 52.1 per cent of the total population of the state. School census figures and other reliable sources of information available in 1926 show that 62.4 per cent of the population now resides within these three counties. History has proven that great concentration of people within the small area of large cities, who of necessity cannot become familiar with the problems of rural and agricultural life, tends to create an unsympathetic attitude toward the protecting of rural development. Further, the mass population of cities is not moved by careful and conservative thought and action, but rather by a political dominance, that does not always make for the true principles of self-government and the protection of the minority. The census figures of 1920 gave the value of California's agriculture as $4,501,581,899; adding petroleum, lumber and mining, other assets of the soil, rural California shows an investment of $4,872,414,489. The industrial wealth of the state is given as $2,216,053,737, or a grand total property valuation of $7,089,053,737. Reapportionment of legislative districts, based on the 1920 census, would give to the three counties—3 per cent of the area—the complete control of both houses of the legislature, and leave 97 per cent of the area—the great agricultural and productive sections of the state—without any real voice in the state law making body. Our representative form of government is based upon the doctrine of representation for both population and territory. This well recognized principle of representative government was fought out in our early history and written into our national constitution, by giving control of one house of congress, the House of Representatives, to population and control of the other house, the Senate, to territory, by giving each state equal representation, regardless of population. New York with its ten million people has equal representation in the Senate with Nevada with its 77,000 population. This balance of power has afforded a development of the sparsely settled areas of the nation that would never have been otherwise accomplished. It is generally conceded that a large number of people in the large cities of the state are not property owners, other than owning their own homes, and a large percentage are not even home owners and taxpayers. The city has become the refuge of a tax-free population who, through franchise, voteerty holders of the state, in rural and the tax burden upon the-taxable prop-industrial California. Taxation, water conservation, quarantine, transportation and marketing are a few of the problems directly affecting agricultural development and must be dealt with by an intelligent and sympathetic legislative body, that there may be preserved to California its agricultural wealth. The federal plan applied to California would give not more than one senator to any county. Since there are 58 counties for 40 senators, it would be necessary to group about 29 counties of small population into 11 senatorial districts, with the remaining 29 counties having one senator each. This would give to the rural counties control of one house in the legislature. The Assembly would remain as at present constituted, on the basis of population, to be adjusted after each federal census and would be controllide by the larger centers of population. Redlands has shipped more than 4000 cars of oranges to date, about twice the number to same date last year. Tulare county has 1200 more acres of plums than in 1925. POPULAR INDOOR SPORT A SLICK trick used nowadays by "bum" check artists is to cover the victim with honeyed words and then angle for a loan. If he sees an opening, he will hand you a post-dated check, incidentally remarking that there is not sufficient funds POPULAR INDOOR SPORT A SLICK trick used nowadays by "bum" check artists is to cover the victim with honeyed words and then angle for a loan. If he sees an opening, he will hand you a post-dated check, incidentally remarking that there is not sufficient funds in the bank to pay the same, but there will be money there later. While this looks like a felony, it is nothing but a promise to pay, and the man escapes prosecution. Check kiting is common nowadays, but before a merchant hands over goods or money on a check, he should be sure the paper will meet up favorably with the bank clerk's eagle eye. Another slick method used by check artists is to deposit money in a bank in another state and then issue checks against the account. The sum on deposit usually is about ten times less than the amount received on the checks, which come back marked "Insufficient Funds." In these cases prosecution is difficult. EXCESS BAGGAGE A NEW fad in ultra society circles is for the gentler sex to carry an extra pair of silk hose, in case of a rip or a rent, just like the fellow who has an extra strapped on the back of the gas hack.
