Five More Counties Join In Forming Emergency Food Administration Groups Inyo, Tulare, Tuolumne, Ventura and Solano Added to Number Participating In Distribution of Surplus Foods Throughout State; Amount of Produce Already Received Five additional counties have established their emergency food administration councils, new offerings of food stores in considerable quantity have been made and actual distribution of emergency supplies under both state and local direction is actively underway, according to a news bulletin issuer by the state food administration. Quantities of foodstuffs have been moved into both Marysville and Santa Cruz through transportation facilities offered to the state. All other orders received by either the county food councils or the clearing house set up by the state food administration, will start rolling as soon as adequate means of conveyance can be found. The transportation problem is proving a difficult and a trying one, but is being handled by a representative committee of railroad, steamship and truck line executives appointed by State Food Administrator Dudley Moulton. The five counties completing their food administration councils within the week are: Inyo, Tulare, Tuolumne, Ventura and Solano. This brings the number of such councils to nineteen, and the Administrator has been given to understand that more are being formed. Among the offerings during the week are fifty tons of cabbages in San Francisco, two carloads of fancy yellow canned peaches in Fresno, two hundred crates of lettuce and 1,000 sacks of carrots, also in San Francisco. The food administration is now concentrating on the effort to move these supplies as they are ordered through its clearing house. One notable offering made to the state during the week was the output from 40 acres of prunes from a grower near Jackson, Amador county, the grower stating that he would be willing to enter into any agreement that would be satisfactory to the state. Tons of pears at Colusa, apples at Vacaville and oranges at Porterville have been offered on the same basis. Pork Yardstick Increases Taxes Farmers Mean Business as They Demand Real Tax Reduction By RALPH H. TAYLOR Executive Secretary, Agricultural Legislature Committee of California (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the fourth of a series of five articles outlining the basic principles of an economy and tax reduction program in state and local governments, as recommended by the Agricultural Legislature Committee of California in behalf of its 70,000 farmer members.) "Bringing home the bacon," usually in the form of new roads, new bridges, new colleges, new patronage and new appropriations for home-town institutions, has been the yardstick, at least in times past, by which thousands of voters have judged the efficiency of their legislators. The lawmaker who brought home the most "pork", as the politicians term it, was usually rewarded by the plaudits of his district—and re-election! He was expected to fight for economy, of course, but mainly in the other fellowship districts. administration is now concentrating on the effort to move these supplies as they are ordered through its clearing house. One notable offering made to the state during the week was the output from 40 acres of prunes from a grower near Jackson, Amador county, the grower stating that he would be willing to enter into any agreement that would be satisfactory to the state. Tons of pears at Colusa, apples at Vacaville and oranges at Porterville have been offered on the same basis. As fast as these offers are received they are being relayed to the state department of social welfare, headed by Mrs. Rheba Crawford Splivalo, who endeavors to arrange for their utilization by the most convenient relief agency. In turn Mrs. Splivalo passes on to the food administration all requests for food stores for dispatch to the proper food supply sources. The information coming into the state's clearing house is revealing the tremendous scope of the present relief movement in California, as handled by county or municipal relief agencies. In Napa county the local relief organization is reported to have obtained several carloads of flour for distribution to those incapable of doing manual labor. Considerable quantities of fine fruit which has not met the grading standards required for shipment are being distributed in Santa Clara county. Other movements of the same scope were being reported. "We feel that we are making definite progress," administrator Moulton said. "Organization of our personnel and resources was the first consideration. The mobilization of supplies is now going on apace, and some actual distribution has been made through transportation facilities offered the state, in addition to a general quickening of the work of the already splendidly organized local agencies." "Bringing home the bacon," usually in the form of new roads, new bridges, new colleges, new patronage and new appropriations for home-town institutions, has been the yardstick, at least in times past, by which thousands of voters have judged the efficiency of their legislators. The lawmaker who brought home the most "pork", as the politicians term it, was usually rewarded by the plaudits of his district—and re-election! He was expected to fight for economy, of course, but mainly in the other fellow's district. Primarily, he must "produce"—for the folks back home. Poor producers in the legislature faced somewhat the same fate as poor producers in the dairy herd; they usually ended up in the political slaughterhouse. Change Yardstlek Out of this conception of a legislator's duties, which tended to make spending a virtue and economy a dangerous experiment, has come much of the present extravagance in government, both state and local, according to competent analysis who have inquired into California's rapidly mounting tax burden. And the analysis are equally agreed that there can be no real tax reduction for California agriculture, nor any other taxpaying group, until legislators, supervisors, councilmen and all other tax spending officers realize that their constituents mean business—that they are willing the economy program should apply to themselves, as well as others. California farmers, who have suffered more than any other group in the state by the increasing burden of government and excessive taxation, must set the pace in a movement for economy "which begins at home," in the opinion of the state's farm leaders. The farmer must serve notice on his representatives that he wants nothing as badly as he wants tax reduction—that his legislators, in the future, will be judged not by how they "produce," but by how they reduce! New Policy Proposed In line with this policy, the Agricultural legislative committee of California, representing the state's outstanding farm cooperatives and farm commodity organizations, has adopted as a fundamental plank in its tax reduction program the following recommendation: "That California farmers lead the way in the drive for honest, intelligent retrenchment, by refusing to burden their legislators and their representatives of local government with requests for 'special appropriations,' and that they impress on their representatives their first disapproval of any and all 'pet projects,' or "pork barrel" appropriations, during this period of emergency. Such a policy, it is generally agreed, is imperative if government officers and..."

Davis, Pa., and former cabinet member faces federal indictments with others which charge Moose, Eagles and Shrine with violating lottery laws. Garden Grove Sets High Mark Garden Grove's record for vocational work during the season of 1931-32 was four times better than all the rest of the schools in the county combined. This statement is based upon the fact that out of $4,056.08 allotted to Orange-county schools from the state department of education fund of federal-state vocational system, Garden Grove gets $3,275.42; Fullerton $148; and Santa Ana, $632.66. The funds are allotted on the basis of adult education work in the last year. No other schools in the county receive any funds from this source. The apportionment represents funds from the Smith-Hughes and George-Reed federal appropriations and state funds on a 50-60 basis, according to Vierling Kersey, state superintendent of public instructions. This year's apportionment provides $151,764.12 for agricultural vocational education; $99,518.46 for home economics, and $272,654.98 for trade and industrial work, according to the letter to Adkinson, accompanying the funds.

New Fair Building The state fair of Oklahoma is now among the many which have provided an adequate building to house 4-H club exhibits. The new hall will be ready for this years fair at Oklahoma City, starting September 24, according to Ralph T. Hemphill, manager of the fair. The new building is being erected at a cost of $50,000 and will be one of the finest structures of its kind in the country. It is of fire-proof construction throughout and will be used for no other purpose than headquarters for club folks. It replaces an old frame structure in which the first exhibits of 4-H products were made in the days when club work was just getting underway. The building is to be 56 feet wide and 262 feet long, two stories high and of brick and concrete. It will enable the several hundred boys and girls who annually have attended the fair in recent years to enter into competitive demonstrations. The new club building will be opened with elaborate dedication ceremonies just preceding the fair at which leading state officials and club leaders of the state will take part. B. A. Pratt, state leader of boys' club work in the state, will be in charge of the activities of club members during the fair with other members of hte extension staff at Stillwater. Housing for the state fair school, started in 1910, will be provided by the new hall. Mr. Hemphill states that in the annual schools held at the fair for club members since they were started 16,610 boys and girls have enrolled.

Private Property Pays Huge Bills Taxed to Maintain Upkeep of Half Billion County Property Private property in California must absorb what normally would be taxes on more than half a billion dollars in holdings because the 58 counties of the state have property valued above the figure. Of this half a billion of property that is removed from taxation because it is owned by the public, Orange county claims $16,755,000. Included in the property thus exempted from taxation, and toward which other property must pay expenses are court houses, halls of records, county jails, school houses county libraries, almshouses, county hospitals buildings grounds highway and other equipment. Of all property owned by counties in California, Los Angeles represents nearly half with a total valuation of $238,352,733. School houses represent more than 75 per cent of all county property, the total being $376,767,563 for all counties. Almshouses and county hispitals,$36,-286,542; court houses,$26,863,246,and other buildings and grounds,$25,925,-303,make up virtually the remainder. Although the amount of public property owned by counties increased during the last year—especially schools and permanent improvements to existing buildings—it is doubtful if the present year will see any marked gain according to state financial experts. This is largely due to the economic situation which has called for drastic economies and tangible tax reductions in every county. Whenever a county acquires a piece of land upon which to erect a building that land is removed from the assessment roll and from taxation. Therefore the taxes ordinarily paid by the property must be absorbed by other property in the county. Most Powerful Pair of Tackles In Country Loom On Troy’s Grid Team “Foot” Smith and Tay Brown to Scrap for First Line Positions Against Field of Strong Candidates; “Head Man” Jones Has George Lady and Bob Erskine for Reserves By AL WESSON Unless injuries or illness enter the picture, University of Southern California's football team will have about the strongest pair of tackles in the country this fall. The boys with the unusual names, Messrs. Smith and Brown, are Coach Howard Jones' first string men and anyone who makes the ambitious attempt to gain ground over them next fall will do so at the risk of life and limb. Ernie Smith, who is sometimes affectionately called "Foot" by his opponents because of his number fourteens which just can't be gotten out of the way even if Ernie himself is pushed aside, is ordinarily about as easy and pleasant to remove from his position as a pile of broken sidewalk chunks tied up in barbed wire. It is believed that if Ernie could stand on tiptoe he could reach the moon. Out of condition he weighs 212, but when he gets in shape he fades away to 215. Ernie was S. C.'s regular right tackle last year and was one reason why the Jones power plays, many of which hit over his position, went home so often. With a hard offensive charge he combines rugged defensive play, and despite the fact that so much of him has been turned under to supply feet he is quick in getting around. Besides "Foot", Ernie is often called "Slip-horn" referring to his slide tromboning. Out of football season, he leads a dance orchestra, and besides his slip-horning, so heavenelpme, the big stiff has crowned over the radio. He played in the Olympic band this summer and later went to the mountains to work on a road building crew. He is 22 and his height is 6:2½. He came to S. C. from Gardena high school and has won two varsity letters. Raymond Brown's little brother couldn't say Ray and the Trojan captain-elect is going through life known as "Tay". He is just a little fellow compared with Smith as he weighs a mere 202 pounds and is only six feet tall. However, despite his frail stature, Tackle reserves will present a difficult situation for Coach Jones, although the problem will be half solved if the head man keeps Bob Erskine at this position instead of moving him to full-back. Bob is 19, weighs 215, is 6:1½ in height and is apparently still growing. He plays the "Foot" Smith slam-bang type of game and just loves to get into somebody's backfield and tear things all apart. If George Lady, young giant from Merced, is kept at tackle, he also should make a strong reserve. During spring practice he was shifted for a time to center and may be kept there, however. Other tackle prospects are Al Coughlin and Glenn Dibble of the frosh, Herb Tatsch of the varsity reserves and Morton Wilkins of the Spartans. Mountain Resorts Now at Their Best With the summer vacation season now approaching its close and marvelous summer weather prevailing, the various mountain and seaside playgrounds of Southern California, now offer the vacationists their greatest enjoyment, according to J.

To those Anaheim people who have not yet taken their vacations, there is Now at Their Best With the summer vacation season now approaching its close and marvelous summer weather prevailing, the various mountain and seaside playgrounds of Southern California, now offer the vacationists their greatest enjoyment, according to J. H. Harrington, local agent for the Motor Transit lines in this city. "To those Anaheim people who have not yet taken their vacations, there is no time like the present," remarked agent Harrington today, "for we are advised that practically all the mountain resorts reached by the Motor Transit lines are offering greatly reduced rates and Motor Transit fares to these places have never been so low as they are this season. "Also the popular beaches such as Laguna Beach, Newport and Balboa, Long Beach and the various amusement beaches west of Los Angeles are all endeavoring to show their visitors unusual entertainment and offering reduced rates everywhere." "Catalina Island, too, has many new features this year and has especially low round-trip excursion fare in conjunction with Motor Transit lines from this city via Long Beach, and its popular island villas have irresistibly low rates and novel appeal for those desiring overnight or weekly accommodations," continued the bus company's genial agent.
