Exchange Rates Are Lower because less auto accidents occur in the country than in the city. Then why pay high insurance rates based on city traffic? Here is a clean cut policy protecting your car, or any damage to others caused by it. The rates are based on the low accident risk of rural traffic. The rates are the lowest obtainable and the service is the best.

Governments Are Too Numerous Groups Within Groups Are Proving Hinderance To Taxpayers By RALPH H. TAYLOR Executive Secretary, Agricultural Legislative Committee of California California taxpayers, especially rural taxpayers, are suffering not only from too much government, but from too many governments. Government has too many ramifications, too many agencies and departments — and too many governments within governments. Such briefly summarized, are the conclusions of the California Taxpayers' Association, one of the many groups participating in the present state-wide agitation for tax relief. The association finds, further, that to achieve substantial and lasting reductions in the tax burden there must be basic and drastic changes in the whole structure of government — amputations, rather than merely salary cuts and budget slashes. Sounding a new note in the economy battle, the Taxpayers' Association lists, as one of its remedies, the elimination of many of California's smaller counties through consolidations and mergers with other counties. "Careful thought and consideration should be given to the possibility of reducing the number of counties in the state," declares the association. "Our 58 counties were originally 27. There are many counties in the state with an extremely small population and small assessed valuation. They have been handicapped and limited to small scale services and taxed to death. With present day means of transportation, there is no good reason why many of our counties could not well be consolidated with improvement in services and large savings in expeditures." Admitting that such a move would Valencias Win First Challenge Seven Years, Defeating 23,000 See 7-Game Series Which Grosses of Anaheim Squad Gives Early Series" Will Be Played With River Next Tuesday night Anaheim's championship team will clash with Riverside, title holders of in the first of a scheduled seven-game series series." The second game will be played here Sept. 19; the fourth at Anaheim, Sept. 21; the fifth at Anaheim, Sept. 27; and the seventh to be decided by flip of the coin, providing, of course won before. The last three games of the schedule not being awarded previously, in this best four. Anaheim got its greatest sport thrill in George Lackeye's Valencias had reached the cove with Santa Ana Stars in the National lunar ball up the previous Tuesday by the county seat the performance of the year before when they vied the Valencias had taken an early three-game series lead. Santa Ana's First Baseman Leavitt Daley knocked out a slow hit to Schrott. Kohler fumbled Hill's sacrifice. Ballard was too fast for the slow roller to short, and Daley crossed the plate. That was a foreboding beginning for the Valencias. When Orve Schuchardt singled and Mal Higgins did likewise there was a noticeable increase in bouyancy of Anaheim's hopes. A wild pitch sent schuchardt over the plate. Higgins came home on Lemon's double to right. After that, the Valencias weren't headed. They gained a safe margin in the eighth, and came through the ninth with the championship permanently nailed by a 6-2 victory which left $200 paid admissions and as many others fully satisfied that Lackeye's outfit won fairly. After the receipts were counted, Friday's topped the list with an even $900; the total for the seven games was $4624:50. Anaheim gets $1648:29; Santa Ana, $1098:86; Olive, $588:67; Westminster, $392:45; and Torrance, $161:23.

There are many counties in the state with an extremely small population and small assessed valuation. They have been handicapped and limited to small scale services and taxed to death. With present day means of transportation, there is no good reason why many of our counties could not well be consolidated with improvement in services and large savings in expenditures." Admitting that such a move would stir up a storm of protest among local politicians and that "local pride" would mitigate against it, the Taxpayers' Association declares, nonetheless, that fundamental changes are absolutely necessary if the tax burden is to be reduced. "Expenditures for state functions of government are dwarfed by the colossal burdens of local government," reports the association. "The problem of tax relief, then, lies in the taxpayers' own backyard. The taxpayers, themselves, must force reorganization and consolidation in government, and the abandonment of every unnecessary service." Other recommendations of the Taxpayers' Association, some of which, at least, should commend themselves to California farmers in their search for tax relief, includes: 1. Legal action to prohibit the appointment of relatives by officers to be their deputies and assistants. 2. Centralization of purchasing under a purchasing agent in all counties; 22 of the 58 counties now follow this practice. 3. A county unit system of road administration under the supervision of a properly trained road engineer, subject to control of the whole board of supervisors. 4. Elimination of unnecessary township courts and constables. 5. Elimination of the system of paying certain officials and officers on a fee basis. 6. Development by the state of uniform et standards' of service and cost for use in the preparation of local budgets. The "Clean-up Your Own Backyard" tax campaign is important for many reasons. California citizens have been paying for luxuries in government when they could barely afford necessities — and, in many instances, the luxuries were demanded by the taxpayers themselves, during the days of easy money. Nor can it be denied that the "big leak" is in county and city expenditures. Local governments in California spent about $575,000,000 last year. The state, excluding its subsidies to the counties, spent about $86,000,000. State government, however, should lead the way by the speedy elimination of all nonessential and illegal activities. After that, the Valencias weren't headed. They gained a safe margin in the eighth, and came through the ninth with the championship permanently nailed by a 6-2 victory which left $200 paid admissions and as many others fully satisfied that Lackeye's outfit won fairly.

By clinching the National championship Anaheim wins the right to battle the Riverside champions of the American league in the "little world's series." Coleslaw—That new maid is certainly quiet.

Calavo Growers Watch Markets Demand Increases In the Los Angeles and San Francisco Areas Marketing policies of the Calavo Growers of California, Inc., cooperative selling organization for avocado producers of the state, for the coming year will be based largely on the recommendations made by Dr. E. A. Stokdyk, University of California, according to statement made by George B. Hodgkin, general manager of the association. "In a study which Dr. Stokdyk has recently made for us," said Hodgkin, "covering an analysis of last year's marketing program as compared with previous years, the University of California marketing economist charted out for our organization the important shifts taking place in market demands." Judge H. Ames Thanks Voters Says Electorate Renews Faith In Reward for Conscientious Labor Judge Homer G. Ames, who was re-elected at the August primaries to department No. 1 of the Orange county superior court, states in a letter to Editor Henry Kuchel of the Gazette that "the voters . . . have shown me that conscientious effort in public service does not go unrewarded. Their approval, as expressed at the polls, strengthens and renews my determination to continue giving my best to the work ahead of me." While the letter is addressed to Editor Kuchel, it is of equal interest to the voters of Orange county, and is published herewith: "Dear Mr. Kuchel: There are some thoughts relating to my re-election as judge of superior court that I would like to express to you and, through you, to the people of your community. Beyond the personal gratification it brought me, as a sign of confidence from the electorate of this county, there was a deeply grateful feeling for the friends and supporters who so loyally espoused my candidacy. I owe them much and I want them to know that I realize the debt. My appreciation extends also, to the voters who have again granted me the privilege of serving them. They have shown me that conscientious effort in public service does not go unrewarded. Their approval, as expressed at the polls, strengthens and renews my determination to continue giving my best to the work ahead of me. I will esteem it a great favor. Mr. Kuchel, if you will convey this expression of my feeling to your readers. Very sincerely yours, H. G.

"In a study which Dr. Stokdyk has recently made for us," said Hodgkin, "covering an analysis of last year's marketing program as compared with previous years, the University of California marketing economist charted out for our organization the important shifts taking place in market demands. "He found, for example, that the demand for Calavos had increased markely in the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas, but had declined slightly in territory tributary to New York City and Chicago. "We look upon this remarkable increase in demand for Calavos in the California consuming centers, particularly in the Los Angeles area, as one of the brightest spots in the economic picture facing the avocado industry." Southern California is the home of Calavo production, and, of course, the product is favorably known here." Dr. Stokdyk's recent study of merchandising operations by the Calavo Growers of California, Inc., is the second of series of economic analyses made by the University of California economist for the avocado producers. The first study emphasized the advantages of utilizing more dealer-service methods of stimulating consumption.
