THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Denounces Auto Club of Southern California for Attempts to Control Gas Tax Special Assessments Relief Association Passes Condemning Activities of Club Which Are Terminated Selfish" for Opposing More Funds to City Because of the political activity of the Automobile Club of formia in attempting to prevent a fair proportionate share of tax from finding its way back to the cities, where it could be maintained of streets and thus directly relieve taxation on county officials. The Special Assessments Relief association, Inc., of Los Angeles, a resolution denouncing it. Apparently as a measure to confuse the taxpayers, the club has offered a proposal that the state highway department add 6,300 miles to its system. The club argues that this would relieve the common taxpayer, but representatives of counties and cities, after studying the proposal, find that it would provide a means through which the highway department could spend many millions of dollars annually, with little benefit to the taxpayer because it would not relieve present taxes to any appreciable extent. The cities, through the League of Municipalities, are seeking a re-division of gasoline taxes to provide the cities with more money, at the same time not taking any of the present funds allocated to the counties for road purposes. Action of the auto club, in throwing up a smoke-screen around the real issues involved, is attacked in the following resolution adopted March 21, by the Special Assessment Relief association, Inc., of which Casadena's Montana Flowers is president: “This organization denounces the Automobile Club of Southern California for its attempts to dictate policy of the state of California and of its counties and cities and to control the allocation and use of gasoline tax funds. "We condemn its dominating attitude toward the regularly constituted state, county and city agencies of government and toward the many tax revenues."

If anyone has any idea that California apples are not appreciated in Sunny France, let him get an earful of this. A few days ago there arrived in the San Francisco postoffice a package from Bourges, in France, containing one round, red apple—a California apple, by the way. Wrapped around the apple was a 100 Franc note and a letter from the sender, who gave the name of Phillipe Chedin. It seemed that M. Chedin had sunk his bicuspidis into the mate of the apple in question. Thereafter, he wanted not only more of the fruit, but at least one or more of the trees that bore it, so that he could plant such tree or trees in his native France and be assured of a supply of these delicious apples in the future. His package which was addressed to "Principal Nursery," was intercepted by the San Francisco quarantine regulation turned over to the faint service. The apple was still in spite of its France and all the California. But M. Chedin is pointment as far as cerned. He is being quarantine service California apple tristly prohibited under regulations of French note is also being rethe regrets of the service that it cannot chase apple trees country. of Southern Calif.

Taylor Secretary Agricultural Legislative Committee California agriculture, resisting attempts to "pull the teeth" of the state trespass law, has scored its first major victory in the fight against wholesale trespassing and vandalism. First success for the farm, organizations in their battle against breakdown of the trespass act came in the assembly with the rejection of A. B. 27, by Assemblyman Percy C. West of Sacramento, which would have abolished the provincial provision making it unlawful to enter uncultivated or unenclosed lands when properly signed. Defeating the West anti-farm bill by a vote of 43 noes against 29 ayes, the assembly upheld the contention of farm organizations that the farmer's right to earn a living, free from unrestricted trespass, is paramount to the desire of some of the sportsmen's groups to enjoy their "sport" without regard to property rights. especially gratifying to the farmer is the fact that many of the city members of the assembly, led by former Speaker Talgar C. Levey of San Fran- Defeating the West anti-farm bill by a vote of 43 noes against 29 ayes, the assembly upheld the contention of farm organizations that the farmer's right to earn a living, free from unrestricted trespass, is paramount to the desire of some of the sportsmen's groups to enjoy their "sport" without regard to property rights. Especially gratifying to the farmer is the fact that many of the city members of the assembly, led by former speaker Edgar C. Levey of San Francisco, joined with the rural members in repulsing the attack on the trespass law. This recognition, by city legislators, of a rural problem, will go far toward making good will for the metropolitan areas in the consideration of strictly urban problems. Assemblyman Levy sounded the keynote of the debate when he declared that "Assemblyman West's bill is a direct encroachment upon the rights of private property as guaranteed by the Constitution." The battle to protect farm property against general trespass is but half won, however, as two additional bills, both by Assemblyman West, are still pending and have the support of a powerful sportsmen's lobby. The West anti-farm bills, yet to be voted upon, are as follows: A. B. 28, amending section 627 of the penal code, regarding trespass, by taking out all reference to other lands than canal banks or rights of way of irrigation districts, for hunting purposes. A. B. 1281, adding a new section to the penal code to provide that "Nothing in this code shall prevent any person from entering upon the land of another for the purpose of fishing in a lake or stream which has been stocked with fish by the state; and the owner or tenant of such land may recover only actual damages for injury occasioned by such entry." The effect of the West bills, although their purpose is thinly disguised, would be to destroy practically all protective features written into the trespass law during the 1931 session. Still another result of the West bills, if they were enacted, might be the wholesale destruction of fish and game in rural California. Although some of the sportsmen's groups seem to be blind to the fact, game has existed and multiplied in California largely on farmers' land—under 'farmers' protection! The surest way to destroy this protection and open the road to extermination of game is the method seemingly adopted by the sportsmen's groups. California farmers can not be expected to protect the sportsmen's hunting grounds if the sportsmen let down the bars to the stampeding and shooting of cattle, the destruction of "Fortune comes to all th" OPPORTUNITY AT THE DOOR OF NEWSPAPER AD The following letter, written by a hoof forth clearly why she prefers newspaper, Dear Editor: At the present time when I, as guardian allot every penny and dime to its purpose friend and helpmate.

The surest way to destroy this protection and open the road to extermination of game is the method seemingly adopted by the sportsmen's groups. California farmers can not be expected to protect the sportsmen's hunting grounds if the sportsmen let down the bars to the stampeding and shooting of cattle, the destruction of farm property and open vandalism. There would be serious danger, if the trespass law was broken down, that California wild life would be killed in season and out of season, without regard to limits or sportsmanship. Certainly there would be no incentive to the farmer to stand guard against this wholesale destruction of game, as he has in the past. And California's 150,000 farmers have been far more effective guardians of game than the state's small crew of paid game wardens. Apples Are Good, If Susseur Note Is Indication "Principal Nursery, Sacramento, California," was intercepted and opened in the San Francisco postoffice under quarantine regulations and was then turned over to the federal state quarantine service. The apple was still in splendid condition in spite of its long journey to France and all the way back to California. But M. Chedin is doomed to disappointment as far as the trees are concerned. He is being advised by the quarantine service that shipment of California apple trees to France is strictly prohibited under the quarantine regulations of France. The 100 Franc note is also being returned to him with the regrets of the 'plant quarantine service that it cannot be used to purchase apple trees for export to his country."
