Richardson Tells Of State’s Progress Governor’s Farewell Address Shows Phenomenal Growth Pointing to the phenomenal growth of California during the past four years, corresponding expansion of state departments, piling up of a $20,000,000 treasury surplus, and completion of a comprehensive building program, Governor Friend W. Richardson Tuesday gave his farewell message to the Senate and Assembly meeting in joint session. The governor mentioned the fact that resources of state banks have increased from $1,985,289,586 to $2,093,975,613 between January, 1923, and June, 1926. He also called attention to the total registrations of motor vehicles. In 1922 it amounted to 883,649, while at November 30, 1926, the registration was twice as much, being 1,626,131. Assets of state building and loan associations have mounted from $64,-732,760 in 1923 to $224,714,597 at the present time, the governor said. Number of associations has increased from 102 to 153, investors have doubled and borrowers trebled, he said. A total of 35,000 homes have been erected in California in the past four years through building and loan associations, the governor reported. "The University of California has advanced more during the past four years than at any other period of its history," he asserted. "The average attendance in all its parts is now 16,500, or 4000 more than four years ago. Standards of scholarship have been raised to make the university rank with any in the world. The Southern branch will soon be located in beautiful new buildings at Beverly Hills." Governor Richardson also pointed out that the state department of agriculture is functioning with highest efficiency under the direction of G. H. Hecke; that enrollment in the National Guard has increased; that the state park area has increased to a total of 13,500 acres, and that every department in California's official life has shown marked advancement. "The state has seen heavy increases in the number of prisoners in Folsom were Mrs. Orahood and daughter, Virginia; Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Greenawalt and daughters, Charlotte and Jeanne; Edith Page, Betty Costar, Leona Horn, Garrison Costar and Virginia Wygal. Mrs. L. E. Berkey and sons, Stanley and Everette and daughter, Betty, were New Year's guests of her mother, Mrs. Sarah Standefer of Whittier. Jimmie Spohn underwent an operation Monday morning at the Artesia hospital. Mrs. Roberta Dilly of Long Beach, who has spent several months with her mother, Mrs. L. Mason, has returned to her home. Ronald Wright, Clarence and Laurence Jaynes, Joe Morlarity, Raymond Nelson and Rex Workman spent last week at Lake Arrowhead. Hershal Jones has returned from a three weeks' visit to his mother in Nebraska. Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Simpson, Mrs. E. W. Thurman and daughter, Ruth, and Mrs. C. B. Snyder were New Year guests of Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Connelly of Los Angeles. Collector Welch Urges Immediate Payment United States Collector of Internal Revenue Galen H. Welch calls the attention of employers, corporations and partnerships to the law which provides that income payments made during 1926 to individuals must be reported direct to the commissioner of internal revenue. Washington, D. C. The collector urges that these reports which include income payments for salaries, wages, fees, commissions, etc., interest on notes, mortgages, etc., rents, royalties or any other fixed or determinable income be made out and forwarded immediately after January 1, 1927. The limit of time allowed for making the report is March 15, 1927. Mr. Welch states that reports are to be made to cover payments of $1500 or more made to a single person, and of $3500 or more made to a married person. He urges large employers of labor to secure forms 1096 and 1099, now available, and file their reports early. SPEAKS FOR ITSELF Governor Richardson always was over- of scholarship have been raised to make the university rank with any in the world. The Southern branch will soon be located in beautiful new buildings at Beverly Hills." Governor Richardson also pointed out that the state department of agriculture is functioning with highest efficiency under the direction of G. H. Hecke; that enrollment in the National Guard has increased; that the state park area has increased to a total of 13,500 acres, and that every department in California's official life has shown marked advancement. "The state has seen heavy increases in the number of prisoners in Folsom and San Quentin prisons," he declared. "The population of Folsom has been raised to 1750 from 964, and that of San Quentin to 3400 from 2450. Many improvements of various natures have been noted at San Quentin, including elimination of "crazy alley," building a new shed for the mess line and completion of the west wing of the prison." In concluding his address, the governor pointed out that the state athletic commission was functioning on a working basis and that aside from the cost of operating the commission, the sum of $240,000 has been set aside, which can be used toward erection of new buildings for the veterans' home at Yountville. Declaring that "the present rate of increase in the cost of education in California will soon absorb all the revenues of the state and create a burden too heavy for the taxpayers to carry," Governor Richardson warned the legislators assembled in joint session that "educators can be safely trusted with the education of the coming citizens of the state, but business men should control expenditures." Concerning highways, the governor voiced the view that the $15,000,000 annually being spent on state roads "is all the money that can be spent wisely and economically," as well as all the taxpayer can stand. Less than $15,000,000 a year might have been sufficient, he intimated, but "owing to cheap and faulty construction previous to my administration, it has been necessary during the past four years for the state engineer to reconstruct, widen and thicken many of the highways of the state." "I have stood staunchly against extending the highway system and both after the 1923 and 1925 sessions of the legislature, vetoed a number of bills attempting to put purely local roads into the state system. I have striven to prevent the legislature from putting the roads on a 'pork barrel' basis." "At the present time there are 6500 miles of roads in the state system and at least 1500 miles of these are 'pork barrel' roads pure and simple and should never have been taken into the system." Resources of state banks under the jurisdiction of the superintendent of state banks, he pointed out, "have increased from $1,985,289,586 to $2,662,-588,284, and individual deposits have increased from $1,634,064,309 to $2,093,-976,613 between January, 1923, and June, 1926."

They Western Auto Pays Employes Big Bonus More Than $100,000 Will Be Distributed Among Them During the first week of January, every employee of the Western Auto Supply Company who has been with the company for one year will receive an employee's bonus that is equal to one month's salary. Over 600 employees will enjoy the bonus this year, which, according to George Peperdine, president of the company, will amount to about $100,000. This system of distribution has been in effect at the Western Auto Supply Company for many years. Officials of the company believe that the interest of the employee and employer is mutual and that in order to expect the best co-operation from its employees any concern must have their interest at heart. For this reason, the Western Auto Supply Company finds that it is not only profitable to pay its co-workers salaries as high, if not higher than the average wage, but also to give them a share of the net earnings in the form of a liberal bonus. At the employees' annual Christmas meeting, Mr. Peperdine pointed out that 1925 was a very successful year, and he thanked the employees for their splendid co-operation and attributed the increased sales to their efforts. The good fellowship and friendliness can be seen throughout the Western Auto organization, and this fact is largely responsible for the conscientious work among its people in putting forth every effort toward the rapid development of the business. There are few organizations the size of this one where the turnover in personnel is so small. Ninety-seven per cent of the employees who received the bonus in 1925 received it again last year, which shows that a very small percentage leave the service of the company is being pressed for consideration by the authorities. It is believed that other counties are being approached in an effort to obtain passage of local ordinances to this effect. While it is true that some bus lines and trucking companies instruct their drivers to make full stops before crossing railway tracks, there is much opposition to such a regulation being written into the law for all motorists. It is pointed out that such legislation would practically relieve the railway companies from all liability in case of collisions between trains and motor vehicles, since a failure to stop on part of the motorist as required would be a violation of the law and thus would be a negligence. Another serious objection voiced is that such legislation would place unwarranted impediment upon motor vehicle traffic. There are many railway grade crossings over which thousands of vehicles pass daily but over which only one or two trains pass during the day. Thus the inconvenience to such a large number of motorists in order to avoid the slight hazard at such crossings would be out of all proportion to the advantage gained. Such a law, it is pointed out further, would retard the work that is progressing now of eliminating railway crossings at grade. Large sums of money have been expended by the state and various local authorities in the effort to eliminate such crossings, and so far the railways have generously supported the program. Investigations by the engineering and legal departments of the club were unfavorable to the passage of such a law that directors of the organization at a recent meeting adopted resolutions in opposition to any such legislation on the part of the state.

It is revealed in announcements made yesterday. Alan H. Peat of the Third Street school, living at 355 South Rossmore, Los Angeles, was awarded the gold medal and a check for $15 as winner of the first prize. Last year Southern California children won twelve out of the thirteen prizes offered in this state, and this year they repeated the performance. This is taken as evidence that the teaching of safety in the public schools is highly effective in training the young minds to think in terms of safety. The course was inaugurated more than five years ago by the Automobile Club of Southern California, and generous cooperation is given by boards of education and parent-teacher associations. The only prize won in the north is the second, a silver medal and a check for $10, awarded to Irene Byrne of the Sunshine school for crippled children. Other prize winners awarded bronze medals and $5 in cash are as follows: David Mellinhoff, Hawthorne school, Deverly Hills; Maurine McNee, Normandale Avenue school, Los Angeles; Fredericka Wiseman, Menlo Avenue schools, Los Angeles; Sylvia Field. 128 Pages Complete Catalog ...128 pages crowded with bargains...
