Hoover, Merriam Praise San Diego Exposition Idea California Pacific Exhibits Expected To Prove Aid To Recovery Here The California Pacific International Exposition won the praise of California's leaders, who described the 1935 undertaking as "a vital factor in the business recovery of the entire Pacific coast." With plans for the spectacle to be held in San Diego progressing at a speed unprecedented in the world of expositions, Herbert Hoover, America's only living former president, and Governor Frank F. Merriam became honorary officers. At the same time national and international significance was given California's Exposition when the chief executives of several western states and the outstanding statesmen of Mexico excepted invitations to serve in honorary capacities with the Exposition. Hoover Lauds Project Governor Merriam wished "every success" in accepting the honorary presidency and Mr. Hoover lauded the Exposition and promised his personal support at all times in accepting the honorary vice presidency. Pledging the support of their respective states the following governors became honorary vice presidents: A. W. Hockenhull, New Mexico; F. H. Conney, Montana; Morley L. Griswold, Nevada; Julius L. Meier, Oregon; Clarence D. Martin, Washington; B. R. Moeur, Arizona, and C. Ben Ross, Idaho.

Rodriguoz, President-elect Lazaro Cardenas and former President P. Ortiz Rubio. Farmers Supporting Merriam’s Campaign Farmers throughout California are working actively for the election of Gov. Frank F. Merriam, it was stated this week by W. L. Moulton of Santa Clara county, former representative of the California citrus industry in the East, who recently completed a trip through the farming sections of the State. "I found the farmers practically unanimous in support of Gov. Merriam," Moulton said. "They believe that he understands the problems of agriculture better than any man who has been in the Governor's office for a long time. He speaks their language and has a practical understanding of how existing abuses must be remedied." "They feel that if Gov. Merriam is elected he will work a solution of their problems that will place California in the front rank so far as improved agricultural conditions are concerned." “UNREALITY” TOPIC FOR LESSON-SERMON "All that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."

The contracting firm will secure power from the system of the metropolitan water district which supplies energy to all camps along the aqueduct line. Water for all camp purposes will be pumped directly from the Colorado river, as has been practiced by Six Companies in the construction of Boulder dam, 150 miles upstream. First construction work, it is understood, will include the building of a road from the existing water district highway system to the dam site, and the building of a bridge to extend across the Colorado river. Work on the dam will be carried forward from a modern construction town to be called Whipple and located on the California bank of the river. The new community is to be named for Lieutenant Whipple, who conducted the first survey across the territory in the middle of the last century. Parker Dam is being built by Six Companies under contract with the reclamation bureau of the federal government. Funds for the job are being provided by the metropolitan water district, which will use the dam for diversion of Colorado river water into the aqueduct. the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.” A passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, says: "The conceptions of mortal, erring thought must give way to the ideal of all that is perfect and eternal.

American League Fans' World Series Hope. The farmers corner by Ralph H. Taylor Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California Numerous schemes have been debated in recent months for reorganization of the California state legislature, some prompted by an honest desire to increase legislative efficiency—others apparently designed to overthrow the present balance of power between rural and urban districts. Most recent of the myriad reorganization proposals is the so-called Unicameral system, or one-house legislation, now under study by the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco. Under this plan, advanced on the theory that it would prevent deadlock between houses and greatly expedite legislative action, there would be a single house of perhaps 50 or 60 members, instead of the present senate and assembly structure. Although the definite plan of legislative representation has not been determined, part of the membership under the one-house plan would be selected on a population basis and the remainder on a territorial or area basis. The vital question, insofar as agriculture is concerned, is the representation to be given rural areas. Agriculture, the state's basic industry, has too many vital legislative problems at issue to submit to any program which would give the metropolitan areas absolute control of the legislature. And any system of representation in a one-house legislature would likely to give such control to 107 Work Relief Projects Approved Out of the 3,150 work relief projects authorized by SERA by the first of October, 167 were in Orange county, according to announcements from Acting Administrator Vernon D. Northrop. This county had obtained appropriations totaling $452,098.41, out of the total of $32,295,348.40 for the state. Farm Bureau Gets Refund For Bags Farmers Instructed to Apply at Los Angeles For Tax Money Paid In Through the efforts of the California Farm Bureau Federation the tax on jute bags has been rescinded, and farmers who have paid this tax since June 12 may secure a refund, according to Alex Johnson, secretary of the California Farm Bureau Federation. George Wilson, who represented the California Farm Bureau in Washington, recently secured this refund. Mr. Wilson was advised by the authorities that the tax will be refunded on floor stocks. The form of application for refund is to be filled in by the manufacturers, retailers, or others holding bags for resale, and these forms are now in the hands of the printers and will be out very shortly. Refunds will be made on bags on hand June 12. The government will refund the tax to the applicants who show they had the bags on hand, but the government will not do anything to see that the refund gets back to the farmers who have been charged the tax since June 12, and any farmers who have paid this tax on bags delivered since June 12 should file an application for refund and the dealer from whom the bags were purchased. The collectors of internal revenue at San Francisco and Los Angeles will receive the application forms and forward them to Washington for action. The tax rate on small jute bags has been reduced from 2.914 cents to 2.1 cents so there will be a refund of .14 cents per pound on the smaller bags still paying a tax. The rescinding of the order and the refunding of the money is due entirely to the action of the California Farm Bureau Federation. This will be welcome news to many Orange county residents on a territorial or area basis. The vital question, insofar as agriculture is concerned, is the representation to be given rural areas. Agriculture, the state's basic industry, has too many vital legislative problems at issue to submit to an program which would give the metropolitan areas absolute control of the legislature. And any system of representation in a one-house legislature would be likely to give such control to the cities. Under California's present legislative set-up — the so-called "federal plan," fathered by the state-wide farm group—the assembly is apportioned on a population basis and therefore city controlled, while the senate, districteno on a basis of area, is responsive to the needs of agriculture and the "back country." While there are admitted imperfections in the present plan, it does, at least, provide a balance of power between rural and urban areas. Legislation, which is unfair and injunctive to the metropolitan districts, passes the senate. It is certain of meeting stubborn opposition in the assembly. And if the assembly passes bills which are destructive of agriculture, they are certain to come to a halt in the rural controlled senate. But in a one-house legislature, the group with the greatest number of votes will dominate—and there will be no court of appeal, save perhaps in the governor's office. And in most instances, in all frankness, the title would dominate the governor, in as many cases as possible. "Green Gold" Crop Grows To a Major Industry in State Avocado Crop Begins To Move This Week and Continues To Next June California's "green gold" avocado production, involving some 271 varieties about 37 being represented in the market, since 1915 considered in the class of a baby industry, has now increased to proportions that entitle it to major consideration in the agricultural classifications of hte state, according to figures received by the state department of agriculture concerning avocado production. The crop was expected to begin to move about October 1 and will continue on the market until the middle of next year. Plans for marketing have been greatly expanded. Six new branch offices will be opened this fall by the principal avocado associations. The department has been advised. From the records of the federal-state crop reporting service, state department of agriculture, it is observed that the California avocado production, centering in the southern counties of Orange, San Diego, Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara, has increased from 129 tons in 1924-25 to a peak crop of 2,525 tons harvested in 1931-32 which showed a total farm value of $419,000. Farm value of the 1930-31 crop of 2,110 tons was estimated at $549,000. A preliminary estimate of the 1933-34 crops sets the farm value at $321,000 based on 1,793 tons. Information received from those areas which are important in the production of the classic salad fruit indicate that coming harvest, 1934-35, will be four to five times that of the season just concluded. Production of association members for the 1933-34 season, was slightly over 3,000,000 pounds, and it has been estimated that next season the association will handle around 15,000,000 pounds. Acreage in the association is about 8,400, represented by 2,000 southern California growers. Figures on the average represented outside of the principal growers' group wree not available here. There are certain locations in the semi-tropical areas of California that are especially adapted to the production of avocados. This fruit industry, like many others, has naturally passed through an experimental period where remainder on a territorial or area basis.

This will be welcome news to many Orange county bean, walnut, and potato growers, as well as many others. There are certain locations in the semi-tropical areas of California that are especially adapted to the production of avocados. This fruit industry, like many others, has naturally passed through an experimental period where a great number of varieties have been planted and fruited before a definite selection of adaptable varieties for certain areas could be determined. Associated with these problems have been those of proper pollination. Since this industry is relatively new in this state, it has no doubt profiled by the experience of other fruit industries and has carefully studied and recorded cultural, varietal and pollination problems through this development period. From this store of information, it now seems that the industry is fast becoming established on a basis of well known facts, observers said, and it will no doubt continue to progress along the lines of other specialty fruit production in California. Cattle Purchases May Resume Soon Purchases of cattle for drought relief purposes may be renewed in Orange county, according to W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor. Cattlemen having stock which they wish to eull or who are short of feed for the present number are asking to file their application at the Farm Advisor's office. Such applications can then be acted upon quickly in the event purchasing is again renewed. No definite assurance of purchase can be given now but with the applications on file no time will be lost in acting off those listed. If purchasing is renewed it will probably be but for a short period and notice of it may be overlooked. Sinclair Resorts To Cheap Politics Hatfield Calls Democratic Leader's Recent Statement "Clap-Trap Politics" Chiding Upton Sinclair for "mixing his lines and permitting the novelist to speak for the candidate," George J. Hatfield, Republican nominee for lieutenant-governor, branded Sinclair's public intimation that he is marked for assassination as "interesting fiction, but clap-trap politics." Hatfield's statement referred to a recent address by Sinclair at San Francisco in which the author-candidate told his audience that "I've got nerve, but not enough to be elected governor with Hatfield!" Sinclair injected a "mystery element" into his story by adding that "I think I'll live for the next four years, but you must remember that this is a community where you can get anyone killed if you have a couple of hundred dollars." Mr. Sinclair is apparently running a political Punch and Judy show, with the novelist pulling the strings which make the candidate speak," said Hatfield. "There could hardly be any other explanation of this type of cheap sensationalism on the part of a candidate for governor." Much as they have the greatest voting power.

C. Selected by the United States government on the basis of superior scholarship, unusual personality, and the promise of becoming capable social welfare administrators, 23 graduate students from California, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona have been awarded scholarships to the University of Southern California school of social welfare. With their tuition and living expenses paid by the federal government the students will take advanced graduate work to fit them to assist the government in carrying forward FERA projects in the various local communities from which they come. Dr. Emory S. Bogardus, director of the school of social welfare, and Dr. George B. Mangold of the sociology department are in charge of the graduate group. U. S.

The Unicameral system, at least from the agricultural standpoint, has little to recommend it. Still another proposal which is up for consideration calls for a legislative advisory committee, composed of a committee of legislators and members of the governor's staff, to meet between legislative sessions and map out legislative programs. The theory of this proposal is that much hasty legislation would be avoided and that mature consideration could be given to major issues. But at the foundation of all legislative problems is the question of voter interest. Regardless of the system employed, there will be little improvement in the output of the California state legislature until the voting public takes a hand in the matter. Nor is the fault solely with the men sent to the legislature. Beyond that, it is with the voters who elect the legislators. There must be less of selfishness on the part of the various districts and various businesses and industries of the state—more interest in the other fellow's problems! An intelligent, alert voting public can correct California's biennial output of legislation. But no system can correct it, unless there is a new spirit of cooperation and a new desire 'to pull together for the good of the whole state. At the bottom of bad legislation is selfishness—not faulty procedure! TOP PRICES for the fruit and low marketing costs are fundamentals in the change's 41 years of successful service to growers.

And because they are supported by over 13,000 growers—better than three out of every four in California and Arizona—because the annual expense is divided among more than 25 million boxes of fruit, the total cost of all Exchange services compares favorably with the marketing fee alone of any other agency.
