Legislative Notes Acting on information secured by the agricultural legislative committee, Senator Ray Jones of Marysville decided to drop his three bills intended to secure a definite return to the grain grower for the value of his sacks. The bills were tabled by the Senate agriculture committee on the request of Senator Jones, who believes he acted in the best interests of his farmer constituents. The measures would have permitted the sale of grain in sacks by gross weight. Jones was moved to drop them because of the apparent impossibility of determining how they could be made workable and the fact that permission to sell by gross weight would open up the entire net weight container act, in and involve the entire grain situation itself a decided protection to the farmer, in a maze of perplexing problems. Investigations by the legislative committee, according to Executive Secretary R. H. Taylor, indicate that passage of the bills would insure the grain grower an actual return of only a cent to a cent and a half each for his sacks. The average cost to him is about 15 cents each. It was also found that grain sold in bulk is always bought at about 7 cents less per hundred by the dealer than grain sold in sacks, which would indicate that the dealers take into consideration the value of the sack in fixing the price they pay the grower. Jones received the thanks of the committee for his decision. A public hearing on Senate bill No. 298, the proposed county budget act, which would compel boards of supervisors of the state to conduct their affairs on a business-like basis and save thousands of dollars to the taxpayers annually, was held yesterday by the Senate committee on revenue and taxation. The bill is one of the most important on the legislative program of the agricultural legislative committee, an organization representing 75,000 farmers-taxpayers, and the committee is pushing the measure to the limit. Executive officers of the committee issued the following statement with reference to the proposal: "There is a great deal of misapprehension about Senate bill No. 298. It Southern California Athletic Activities Southern California's first dual meet of the season with an intercollegiate team is scheduled for this Saturday, March 26, when the Trojans meet the University of California in the Coliseum. Coach Dean Cromwell's national intercollegiate champions a short time ago were heavy favorites to trim the Bears, but injuries to the Trojans have switched the odds to even money. Clif Reynolds, Cromwell's lone hope in the high hurdles, and Hershel Smith, spinner, are laid up with injured muscles. In the sprints, Troy will be stronger than California, but the Bears will make up in other events those points lost in the shorter dashes. Captain Elmer Gerkin of the Bears will probably take first places in both the shot and discus, and Elmer Boyden seems slated for a sure first in the half mile. The classic race of the day will be the mile run. Schwobeda, the veteran of the northners, will match strides with Chesley Unruh, the flat Trojan sophomore. Both men are capable of under 4:25 at the present time. Stanford's baseball team will invade Los Angeles this week-end for a two game series with the Southern California nine. The schedule calls for the Trojans and Cards to meet on Friday and Saturday, March 25 and 26. The Trojans will be favored over the Cards, as the latter club is holding the cellar position in the California Intercollegiate League. St. Mary's fast team seems headed for the pennant. The Saints have taken all opposition they have met so far into camp without any trouble. Palo Alto, California, will be the scene of the greatest duel meet of the far western season on April 2. Stanford will play host to Southern California on that day, and the resulting meet will likely decide the dual meet championship of the territory west of Rockies. Stanford will be favored over the Trojans. Drake's annual relay carnival will not see the Southern California track team in attendance this year. The Trojan officials have decided to divide their team into two sections and send Coming Year Be Prosper Southern California Sees Prosperity Prospects for general throughout trial California, according report of John B.

It further company will continue its efforts on an ag development campaign Plans for extensive The bill is one of the most important on the legislative program of the agricultural legislative committee, an organization representing 75,000 farmer-taxpayers, and the committee is pushing the measure to the limit. Executive officers of the committee issued the following statement with reference to the proposal: "There is a great deal of misapprehension about Senate bill No. 298. It simply provides for the publication by supervisors of the county budget of expenditures each year before the tax rate is set. It does by law what is done in many counties already by public approval. Publication of the budget would provide taxpayers with the opportunity of appearing before the board to criticise or commend any expenditure before it was made. If a budget bill is good for the state, it is also good for the county and, while it may pave the way for malcontents to make a fuss occasionally, it provides a sensible way for honest criticism of public expenditures and a sensible plan of conducting public business. "We urge that every farmer interested in keeping down his taxes send a telegram to the Senate revenue and taxation committee, in care of its chairman, Senator H. C. Nelson, asking that this bill be approved." Major points involved in legislation proposing the standardization of the apple growing industry have been successfully ironed out, according to announcement today by R. H. Taylor, executive secretary of the agricultural legislative committee. Meeting here under the auspices of the committee, growers representing all the principal apple growing districts of the state agreed on amendments that are to be included in Assembly bill No. 930, the apple standardization act by Snyder. Practically all differences were eliminated, although the opening of the meeting found the growers miles apart, figuratively. Outstanding points in the amended bill are the maintenance of fancy and extra fancy grades, opening of the fancy and "C" grades to unpacked apples, and an increase in the tolerance for defective apples in the unclassified grade. Carroll Rogers, Watsonville grower, presided. Taylor also announced that the cherry growers of the state had reached an agreement on their new standardization legislation the same day and that their recommendations would be included in Senate bill No. 580. Efforts on the agricultural legislative committee to bring the various warring factions to an agreement on legislation proposing the regulation of commission merchants who handle agricultural products were successfully culminated today. Numerous conferences, it was announced, have resulted in amendments eliminating earlier objections and a decision by the farm groups interested Palo Alto, California, will be the scene of the greatest duel meet of the far western season on April 2. Stanford will play host to Southern California on that day, and the resulting meet will likely decide the dual meet championship of the territory west of the Rockies. Stanford will be favored over the Trojans. Drake's annual relay carnival will not see the Southern California track team in attendance this year. The Trojan officials have decided to divide their team into two sections and send them to two different Pacific coast meets on April 30, the date of the Iowa event. The major portion of the Trojan team will be sent to the annual University of Washington relays at Seattle. The rest of the team will be entered in the West Coast relays at Fresno. It seems as though the two Charlies of the clinderpath, Charlie Borah and Charlie Paddock, would not get together in races this year. Charlie Paddock, the world's champion in the century, is running for Los Angeles Athletic Club this year, and as that team meets Southern California, Borah's university, in a dual meet on May 14. It would appear that the race would appear inevitable. But Paddock is working in the movies, and he says that he wouldn't be surprised that he would be awfully busy on the date that the Trojans meet the Mercuries. Los Angeles would turn out en masse to see Borah meet Paddock here in ColliSEum. Last year when Paddock set his new world's record of 9:5 in the century, Borah was within three inches of the "fastest human." Many thought that Borah had won, and the most enthusiastic of them claim that Borah will defeat Paddock the next time they run. California Called Tourists' Paradise Travel over the Santa Fe to California during the past winter season shows an increase of 15 per cent over the same period last year, while inquiries during the first week in March were 75 per cent ahead of 1926. This announcement, made here by W.J. Black, passenger traffic manager of the Santa Fe system, indicates the source of California's present invasion of tourists who have filled the leading hotels to overflowing, and still more are riding on the tidal wave of prosperity. Mr. Black is here from his Chicago headquarters. "We feel that the millions of dollars invested in equipment, such as was put into our new de luxe train, the Chief, was justified, and I can state definitely that this extra fast, extra fare train, placed in service between Los Angeles and Chicago November 14 last, is here to stay," said the passenger traffic manager. The public has responded very liberally, and the development of travel on the new train has been satisfactory, and even beyond our expectation available for dividend indicating a substantial latter. Outlining the progress made in developing business, the report consumers were committed in 1926, being ancent for the year." It nected load of 212,700 increase of 17 per cent on lines."

Mr. Miller's report tention to thrm steam power gener al as accomplished ind plant." The output kilowatt hours per bus gas equivalent as b kilowatt hours per bus original Long Beach te report reads." T 45 per cent more end at a reduction of 1 per kilowatt hour." Efforts of the agricultural legislative committee to bring the various warring factions to an agreement on legislation proposing the regulation of commission merchants who handle agricultural products were successfully culminated today. Numerous conferences, it was announced, have resulted in amendments eliminating earlier objections and a decision by the farm groups interested to combine the major points in one bill and to concentrate on its passage. This measure, Assembly bill No. 264, by Assemblyman Adams, is now on the Assembly reading files with practically no opposition. The bill protects the grower by requiring the commission merchant to pay a license fee of $25 and put up a bond of $5000. As amended, it covers practically all agricultural products, regulating all such business handled in trust and all agents who purchase farm products outright for resale purposes. The records of such agents are open to inspection by the department of agriculture. Licenses may be revoked for fraudulent dealing and criminal charges preferred. Co-operatives handling the products of their own members as well as canners, driers and preservers are exempt from the act. The bill has the united backing of the committee which represents 40 cooperative and growers' organizations with a membership of 75,000 farmers. A second bill, backed by the committee, is Assembly bill No. 255, by Jesperson, and requires commission merchants receiving farm products on consignment to keep the receipts from each sale in a separate fund, and prohibits intermingling of such funds. Its object is to keep the farmer's money separated from that of the merchant or firm handling the sales. Boys and girls in Chicago who think human conduct is too speedy have organized a "Slow Club." Wonder if they can induce grandma to join? "We feel that the millions of dollars invested in equipment, such as was put into our new de luxe train, the Chief, was justified, and I can state definitely that this extra fast, extra fare train, placed in service between Los Angeles and Chicago November 14 last, is here to stay," said the passenger traffic manager. The public has responded very liberally, and the development of travel on the new train has been satisfactory, and even beyond our expectations. "In fact, the business has grown until it will be necessary to run the Chief east in two sections a part of the month of April, while the westbound Chief and the California Limited are handling a heavy travel, the latter operating daily in two and three sections." Mr. Black said the requests for California literature have during the past two or three months increased tremendously, amounting to from 400 to 500 per cent over the corresponding period last year. This is the shaping of vacation tours and summer visits to California, which is expected to set in heavily during May and will keep up until fall, he stated. "The rains and every condition contributing to the pleasure and interest of tourist and other travelers to this state this year were never better, and those living in the east and middle west expect to come here during the next few months, motor on the magnificent highways, visit the scenic wonders, mountains, seashore and in every way get the full enjoyment of outdoor life." Mr. Black said California is America's best and most famous recreation and playground, and while the tide of travel may vary during certain periods, it soon comes back to normal, and has the advantage of being just as attractive in summer as in winter. A New York policeman committed suicide because he thought he was too handsome. We know some other fellows who feel the same way about themselves only they don't take it so seriously. Mr. Miller's report tention to the remote steam power generators as accomplished in plant. "The output kilowatt hours per bus gas equivalent as kilowatt hours per bus original Long Beach at the report reads. "T 45 per cent more end at a reduction of 1 per kilowatt hour." MELLON'S GREAT In the liberty board announced by Secretary Mellon we have a good can be done for pure application of sound. The bonds were when interest rates mark. Private entitlement for loans and to get them. And borrowing huge sums as to how many bills needed for the end to hoist the rates. Four and a quarter exorbitant at the reasonable expectation would have time went on. But are lower. Mr. Mellon is doing what he would do if prise as a banker. He is paying off with money raised on loan. The result was $25,000,000 a year who have to foot the public debt. It sounds very similar stand what it is as by just such simple policy in public and that a man becomes of finance. They used to say the mare go" and true if you subsume "mare." Coming Year Will Be Prosperous One Southern California Edison Co. Sees Prosperity Ahead Prospects for general prosperity are excellent throughout Southern and Central California, according to the 1926 report of John B. Miller, president of the Southern California Edison Company, presented at the annual meeting of the stockholders of that company held March 18. In the absence of Mr. Miller, the meeting was presided over by R. H. Ballard, executive vice-president and general manager. "California faces an exceptionally prosperous year in 1927," the report states. "The abundant rainfall to date with the promise of a record precipitation and heavy snows in the high Sierras, insure ample water supply for the company's operation and prosperous condition in the state's basic pursuit of agriculture." Gross earnings of the company for 1926 amounted to $27,345,518, an increase of $3,014,116 over the previous high of 1925. Since the consumption of electricity is a very realibe index of community growth and prosperity, this healthy increase in gross earnings with the corresponding increase in sales of electric energy is ample evidence that this territory is making satisfactory and rapid progress. Net earnings amounted to $18,061,809, an increase of 9 per cent, and were equivalent to three times the interest requirements chargeable to operation. After setting aside $3,329,969 for depreciation, a balance of $8,859,462 was available for dividends and surplus, indicating a substantial increment in the latter. Outlining the progress which had been made in development of new business, the report stated, "28,095 new consumers were connected to the system in 1926, being an increase of 9 per cent for the year." Additional connected load of 212,700 horsepower, an increase of 17 per cent, was taken on the lines." It further stated that the company will continue to concentrate its efforts on an aggressive load development campaign in the year 1927. Plans for extensive new business development. Old License Plates Are Now Taboo Blue and white 1926 automobile license plates are now taboo. Beginning last Monday, traffic officers in all counties of California, acting under orders of C. K. Harder, chief inspector of the division of motor vehicles, will stop all motor vehicles carrying blue and white plates. Motorists who have not made application for 1927 buff and maroon plates will be arrested and their vehicles impounded. Those who have made application but for any reason have not received their new plates will be allowed to proceed, but they will be required to produce evidence satisfactory to the officer that they have filed an application. The division estimates that there are some 40,000 or 50,000 motorists in the state who have not made application for new plates. Owners of approximately 1,300,000 vehicles have complied with the law. Harder said, "All plates except for a few held up because of uncompleted clearances, defective bills of sale and other legal reasons, have been cleared from the division offices. There is no longer any legitimate excuse for any motorist who has failed to apply for his plates. "For this reason officers have been instructed to stop all cars with old plates, and the motorist who cannot show good cause why he has not secured new ones will be held." POULTRY BULLETIN "Poultry Feeding, Principles and Practice" is the title of a new publication issued by the University of California. Its authors are Messra. Holst and Newlon. It handles the subject of poultry feeding in as comprehensive a manner as any publication along that line. The bulletin may be obtained for the asking at the farm advisor's office.

J. Bonnat and Eva Bonnat to the Savings, Loan and Building Association of Anaheim, a Corporation, or order, for the principal sum of $3400.00, with interest at the rate of 8% per annum, principal and interest due in monthly installments of $39.67 each on the 1st day of each month beginning on the 1st day of May, 1924, and continuing until fully paid; and WHEREAS, a breach and default in the performance of certain obligations for which said Deed of Trust is a security has occurred in that default was made under the terms of said note and Deed of Trust in that the installation due upon said note on February 1st, 1926, was not paid when due, and has not since been paid, no part of said installment having been paid, and in that none of the installments due on said note subsequent to said February 1st, 1926, was paid in whole or in part, and that there was on November 8th, 1926, the sum of $3570.00 together with interest thereon from March 1st, 1926, unpaid on said note; and WHEREAS the Board of Directors of said Savings, Loan and Building Association of Anaheim on November 8th, 1926, exercised the option contained in said note and adopted a resolution on said day that the whole sum of the principal unpaid on said note on said date, to-wit: $3570.00, and interest on said sum from March 1st, 1926, was then immediately due, and that the Mother! Clean Child's Bowels "California Fig Syrup" is Dependable Laxative for Sick Children During 1926 the number of Edison stockholders was increased 30 per cent and at the close of the year 103,865 individual stockholders participated in the ownership of the company. At the annual meeting held one year ago, the stockholders authorized a reduction in par value from $100 to $25 per share, and the great amount of stock sold and the large number of new partners added since that time is taken to indicate a very popular reception of this plan. Total assets of the Edison company at the close of 1926 amounted to $268,207,642.33, an increase for the year of 11 per cent. Continuing its construction program both in the hydro-electric developments in Fresno county, known as the Big Creek-San Joaquin river project, and also in its major steam plant at Long Beach, the Edison company during the year made total capital expenditures amounting to $26,264,126.82. The report also announces the further program of construction along the same lines in 1927 with a proposed expenditure of $42,881,000. Mr. Miller's report calls particular attention to the remarkable progress in steam power generation of electricity as accomplished in the Long Beach plant. "The output has averaged 485 kilowatt hours per barrel of fuel oil or gas equivalent as compared with 240 kilowatt hours per barrel of fuel in the original Long Beach steam plant No.1." The report reads: "The plant generated 45 per cent more energy than last year at a reduction of 14 per cent in cost per kilowatt hour."
