The court re-affirmed an old ruling which interpreted that "alligator pears" are not the dutiable "pears" specified in the old Cuban reciprocity treaty, according to notification sent by Congressman Phil Swing to E. C. Dutton of the Calavo Growers of California. Congressman Swing in the court hearings contended that the "pears" mentioned as dutiable included "alligator pears." for this was the only name describing Cuba's huge supply of wild salad fruit at the time of the treaty's passage, which is also Cuba's chief "pear" crop at this time. Today, "alligator pear" only refers to the "nature in the raw" types of fruit of the near-tropics. Mr. Swing also announced that congressional debates assumed that "pears" included alligator pears in the treaty. "Avocade" and "calavo" are recently coined names to designate cultivated American fruit. Atomic Force Topic for Lesson-Sermon Is the Universe, including Man, Evolved by Atomic Force?"

Moulton Resents Federal Threat Readjustment of the services of the state department of agriculture to meet changing conditions, is vital and necessary and is distinctly a responsibility of the state, Dudley Moulton, director of the department, said, in a statement issued in Sacramento in answer to comment on his dismissal of a department employee. A certain federal bureau chief had resisted by threatening withdrawal of support, this adjustment and this dismissal, Moulton said, in spite of the fact that both were directly in the interest of California agriculture. "The California state department of agriculture, in its policy of effecting all possible economies, while continuing to meet the increased demand for its services with greater efficiency, found it necessary to release a state employee," Moulton said. "The effort to coordinate the activities of the department and to render them more useful to the people of California has been opposed by a bureau chief at Washington. The market news service was one of the activities which faced the necessity of readjustment to meet changing market conditions. Market news information is of inestimable value to California producers and the service must be carefully, accurately and intelligently administered for their benefit. "The failure of an employee, as in this instance, is primarily the concern of the state, even though he is engaged in a federal state project."

Then it is that travel by motor coach is most appreciated, according to J. H. Harrington, local agent for the Motor Transit Lines and affiliated motor coach lines in this city. "Whether it is cold outside or even the warmest day it is always fair weather inside a Motor Transit coach" remarked agent Harrington, "for the latest improved heaters just installed provide a constant change of pure, warm, odorless air."

Legislature Faces Gas Tax Problems Municipality League Heads List of Endorsers for Splitting Revenue Recommendations made in 1930 by the California Taxation Improvement Association that there be a more equitable division of gasoline taxes is the subject of concerted demand upon the 133 state legislature, according to Secretary Marvin L. Arnold. "Current proposals for legislation such as we suggested at hearings of the special legislative committee on street improvement laws meeting more than two years ago," according to Arnold, "are sponsored by the Automobile Club of Southern California, League of California Municipalities, and local groups such as the San Fernando Valley Development association." "The latter group urges that street work now being paid by special assessment should be subsidized by cash from fuel tax funds. This has been done to some extent, research shows, from the counties' share of the present three-cent tax. There have been instances in San Francisco and San Diego where the state has improved highways within city limits." "The League of Municipalities is seeking endorsement of resolutions calling for construction and maintenance of streets that logically form part of the state highway system to be included herein. The Los Angeles Traffic Association also has advanced this theory of state responsibility for through traffic facilities," Secretary Arnold said. "Los Angeles county farm bureau representatives also have expressed the belief that districts should be relieved burdens created by the state highway system." Students of gasoline tax distribution methods, according to the tax group, believe that the coming legislature will give the suggestions serious consideration. National Forest Fires Decreasing With the fire season apparently over, the forest service reports great reductions in property damage, expenses, and acreage burned in the National Forests of the United States, as compared to 1931. Fire fighting and protection expenses up to October 31 amounted to $986,886, as compared to $4,219,174 for the calendar year 1931, or $3,000,000 less. The burned area was 397,722 acres, which compares with 605,073 acres last year. More than half the area burned in the National Forests this year was in one fire in California, where a combination of cyclonic winds and low humidity caused the Matillja fire to sweep over 220,000 acres in the Santa Barbara National Forest. Because of unfavorable weather conditions, California forests suffered nearly three-fourths the total acreage loss recorded for all the 148 National Forests this year. California was the only one of the nine forest regions to lose a greater acreage than the annual average for five years. Elsewhere the record in 1932 has been the best that the service has achieved for many years. Property damage inside the National Forests so far reported is placed at $384,355, against $4,409,309 for 1931. The record of fire carelessness, however, is not so satisfactory. Man-caused fires reported up to October 31 were 4,015. Fires from all causes numbered 6,710. last weekly meeting by Paul S. Armstrong, general manager of the exchange. Checks aggregating this amount are being mailed to growers participating in the blanket compensation insurance policy which the Exchange carries in their behalf with the state compensation insurance fund. "The year's results were very satisfactory," said Mr. Armstrong, adding that more growers should take advantage of these definite savings. This group policy has been in effect for years, during which time growers have received counting dividends now being distributed, a total of $141,372. Association also has advanced this theory of state responsibility for through traffic facilities." Secretary Arnold said. "Los Angeles county farm bureau representatives also have expressed the belief that districts should be relieved by the state highway system." Students of gasoline tax distribution methods; according to the tax group, believe that the coming legislature will give to give the suggestions serious consideration. Exchange Cites Big Saving Made Citrus Growers Receive Checks for $40,000 As Result of Collective Insurance Another saving of $40,000 to citrus growers, made possible by collective enavor was reported to California Fruitowers Exchange directors at their change. Checks aggregating this amount are being mailed to growers participating in the blanket compensation insurance policy which the Exchange carries in their behalf with the state compensation insurance fund. "The year's results were very satisfactory," said Mr. Armstrong, adding that more growers should take advantage of these definite savings. This group policy has been in effect for years, during which time growers have received, counting dividends now being distributed, a total of $141,372. The dividend amounted to 39 per cent on earned premiums of slightly over $109,000. For the previous year the dividend was 38 per cent. Many growers have pay rolls requiring but the minimum premium, in which case they receive no dividend at all where they are individually insured. By taking advantage of this group policy offered by the exchange, they secure refunds which reduce their costs to actual carrying charges. Added carefulness on the part of both employers and employees will bring still greater savings in the form of increased dividends. Armstrong pointed out.
