They can't "go down the fire-escape"! Such, at any rate, is the consensus of opinion of many attorneys who have considered the state's financial dilemma—and the dilemma of the law makers. The legislative fire-escape in the event of a hopeless deadlock on revenue proposals is a time-worn provision empowering the State Board of Control and the State Board of Equalization to levy an ad valorem, or direct state property tax, to meet any deficiency in state revenues. Such a tax could be made without direct legislative sanction. In other words, if legislative confusion became too great, the lawmakers could always go home, leaving the state administration with the unwelcome and unhappy task of imposing a state property tax. But the legislative fire-escape, never used before because it was never needed, has fallen into disrepair, according to inquisitive attorneys, and it is exceedingly doubtful whether it offers any escape at all in the present unprecedented period of tax extremity.

But the legislative fire escape, never used before because it was never needed, has fallen into disrepair, according toquisitive attorneys, and it is exceedingly doubtful whether it offers any escape at all in the present unprecedented period of tax extremity. The condition of the traditional means of escape from legislative frustration—more important now then ever before, due to the imperative need of new revenues, and the violently vocal opposition of every group scheduled for additional taxation—is, at the least, legally doubtful. There is, to be sure, a provision in the Political Code — Section 3713 — setting forth that the Board of Control and the Board of Equalization may levy an ad valorem tax in the event of a serious deficiency in state revenues to meet state expenditures. But this provision states that such a tax shall be levied in accordance with Subdivision "E" of Section 14 of Article 13 of the State Constitution. And Subdivision "E" of Section 14 of Article 13 was repealed by the voters of California when they adopted the Riley-Stewart Tax Relief Plan more than a year and a half ago! The legal question involved is whether a statute which refers back to a constitutional provision, is valid when the constitutional provision has been repealed. And if it is not valid, as many attorneys contend, California lawmakers would be forced to pass a new statute if they wished to fall back on the ad valorem tax as a way out of the financial wilderness. If the major taxation proposals in Governor Merriam's program are rejected, there are only two possible alternatives, in the judgment of a majority of the state's financial officers. One is the ad valorem tax, which would impose a state tax on every farm and home and all common property in the state. Few lawmakers, looking to reelection, would care to vote for such a tax. And the second alternative is a gross transactions tax, which involves a fundamental change in the state's tax structure. Whether California legislators can act intelligently on a gross transactions tax—with any sureness of the revenues to be derived from any stipulated rate, or of the effect of such a tax on California business and industry—is doubtful. One bill is pending, calling for such a tax, and another measure pending calling for an investigation into its possibilities.

A liquid laxative can be taken in any required amount. If only a little is needed, you need never take a bit too much. Doctors favor the easily measured liquid laxatives. Instead of any form that does not encourage variation from the fixed dose. A fixed dose may be an overdose for you—or your child. Always remember this one thing about constipation: the secret of any real relief is reduced dosage. Give the bowels only as much help as may be needed, and less help as the need grows less.

It contains senna and cascara (natural laxatives) and it will clear-up any bilious, sluggish condition without upset. Delightful taste, and pleasant action. Your druggist has it. Dr. Caldwell's SYRUP PEPSIN Whether California legislators can act intelligently on a gross transactions tax—with any sureness of the revenues to be derived from any stipulated rate, or of the effect of such a tax on California business and industry—is doubtful. One bill is pending, calling for such a tax, and another measure pending calling for an investigation into its possibilities. From the standpoint of the farmer and common property taxpayers as a whole, it is at least reassuring that the lawmakers will be forced to go on record — in a direct roll-call — if they intend to use a state property tax as a major source of revenue. The ambiguities and conflicts in the law, at least in this instance, will serve a good purpose. If the property owner is to be forced to shoulder a new burden of taxation, he is entitled to know the reasons — and the lawmakers who sanctioned it. Want To Join Navy? Then Get Your Birth Certificate Ready Recruiting officers will no longer give consideration to applicants for admission to the navy, unless they can produce birth certificates to prove they have passed their eighteenth birthday. In former years such proof was not required, and as a result the government was frequently subjected to heavy losses, through being compelled to release underage boys, after having expended hundreds of dollars for transportation, equipment and training, when a boy's parents demanded his discharge because he had been admitted prior to the specified age. Nowadays every boy who enlists for service on Uncle Sam's ships must apply to the state board of health for a certificate showing the date of his birth. White Snail Infestation In Orange and Los Angeles Counties Successfully Fought By State Pest Campaign, Tubbs Reports Destructive Hexapods Were Found in 1932 at Seal Beach and Later Were Discovered in Two Places Near Anaheim, One Near Garden Grove, Another at West Santa Ana That the European white snail, Helix pisana, is slowly yielding to the state program of eradication is indicated by the final inspections made in checking the results of the year's campaign against the pest in Orange county as shown in a report of the year's activities made to state department of agriculture entomological service by County Agricultural Commissioner D. W. Tubbs, of Santa Ana, who is collaborating with the state in the campaign. Since the destructive pest was discovered in the Seal Beach district of Orange county by an Orange county agricultural inspector in 1932, the state has conducted an active campaign of eradication under conditions which indicated a considerable distribution of the destructive hexapod. Following the original find, made in 1932, a total of six new infestations have been located, at Seal Beach, two near Anaheim and one each near Garden Grove, West Santa Ana and the Los Angeles county line. The area infested involved citrus orchards, truck crops, pastures and beach cottage property. Writing to D. B. Mackie, supervisor of the state department's entomological service, Tubbs said, in a review of the year's work that, while eradication cannot be claimed in any area, it is gratifying to report that where millions of small snails once existed in the area near Seal Beach, less than a half a dozen have been found in the last six months in the Japanese Gardens section where the original infestation was discovered. In another infested section, Anaheim Landing, near the original discovery Shelter Belt of Trees Planting To Begin Next Spring Initial work on the plan for a 1,000 mile shelter belt of trees stretching from North Dakota to the Panhandle of Texas will commence early this spring with the planting, by the U. S. forest service, of 4 million trees on 150 miles of the belt located in six different states. Basing his statements on exploration of the region, contact with local authorities and scientific data, F. A. Silcox chief forester, says that the forest service is whole-heartedly back on planting shelter belts in the prairie plains region and is more than ever convinced of the value of this project to agriculture and to the improvement of physical conditions. Planting will be confined to a zone of agricultural land which under normal conditions should support productive farms and where there is an annual rainfall of from 18 to 20 inches on the western boundary to 25 inches on the eastern side of the belt, which foresters say is sufficient precipitation to support tree growth under proper handling. No attempt will be made except experimentally, to plant trees on marginal lands, which, because of alkalinity of the soil or deficient rainfall present an agricultural hazard.

Agricultural Real Estate Market For 1934 Makes Advance Indicating clearly a significant advance in the California agricultural real estate market, California Lands of the state department's entomological service, Tubbs said, in a review of the year's work, that, while eradication cannot be claimed in any area, it is gratifying to report that where millions of small snails once existed in the area near Seal Beach, less than a half a dozen have been found in the last six months in the Japanese Gardens section where the original infestation was discovered. In another infested section, Anaheim Landing, near the original discovery place, none of the snails have been found in the same length of time, and in the last four months only two snails have been found at the infestation on the Orange county-Los Angeles county line, the annual report of Tubbs' disclosed. Although there were several other infestations found after the Seal Beach-Anaheim Landing discovery, the state collaborator pointed out that inspectors failed to find any snails there in the last two months of 1934. Difficulty in eradication work was encountered in the Seal Beach section where it was determined that the snails, in addition to spreading over approximately 320 acres of alfalfa, barley and vegetable gardens, had also gained a strong position in, under and above numerous beach summer houses which were occupied only during the warmer months of the year. Later, state surveys showed that the snails had spread to several other sections. Establishment of these newly infested areas required expansion of the eradication program and involved cleaning of ditches, fence lines and weed patches, where the surface was sprayed with lethal oils and later burned over. In the residential sections, the entire area was literally gone over with a fine tooth comb and there was extensive hand picking of the snails by crews working under the direction of Tubbs. The problem was also difficult in the orange groves. There, it was necessary to repeatedly apply poisoned bran, both to the trees and ground, disk down cover crops, clean out under the citrus trees to expose and destroy egg masses in the soil, and do considerably more hand picking of the pest. An important feature of the state-directed campaign has been the use of a power duster in putting out moist poison bran mash to overcome the difficulty of reaching the snails in the trees. This new departure in scientific snail control and eradication has proved very effective, state records show. It was said here that much of the success of the campaign to date had been due to the cooperation of federal Agricultural Real Estate Market For 1934 Makes Advance Indicating clearly a significant advance in the California agricultural real estate market, California Lands Inc., subsidiary of Transamerica Corporation, reports for 1934 the largest annual sales volume and the largest income from the sale of its products for any year of its history. The company last year completed the greatest number of individual sales of property and also showed the greatest dollar volume of sales of any year since its inception in 1929. The 1934 sales volume amounted to $2,002,259, exclusive of sales in escrow, which represents a gain of more than 98 per cent over the total of the previous year. The number of transactions last year totaled 391, which compares with 233 for the year 1933. Of the total closed sales, 27.2 were cash deals. As California Lands Inc. operates throughout California, its results reflect general trends in the rural real estate situation of the state as a whole, and for this reason particular significance attaches to the average size of properties sold. During the last six years the trend has been toward smaller properties, as is shown by the fact that the property sold in 1934 averaged $5,121 as against $5,604 for the six year period.

MINNESOTANS WILL PICNIC Minnesotans in California, resident or visiting, will hold their annual picnic reunion Saturday, February 16, at Sycamore Grove park, Los Angeles. Advocate An Acid Spray For Radish, Mustard Control Assistant Farm Advisor Corey Tells Action of Tests Made By Two Experts From recent tests made by Dr. W. W. Robbins and W. E. Ball the recommendation is now made advocating a dilute sulphuric acid spray for the control of mustard and radish in grain fields, according to W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor. Losses of yield from the presence of radish and mustard in some fields are exceptionally high. Likewise the cost of harvesting is increased in heavily infested fields. The action of the acid on the leaf is one of dehydration or drying out. The growing point of the grain is protected by the outer leaves, while the growing point of the radish or mustard plant is more exposed. Moreover, on account of the smooth leaf surface of cereals, the spray solution does not adhere as easily to them as it does to mustards, the leaf surface of which are rougher. The spray, however, does cause some burning of the center leaves of the grain but it recovers quickly and makes a rapid growth. Best results are obtained when the mustard or radish plants are in the four-leaf stage. Make the spray solution by adding seven gallons of acid to every 113 gallons of water, and apply with a 75-pound pressure of the spray nozzle. This amount should give adequate coverage for an acre. Precautions to observe when applying the spray are: (1) always add acid to Best results are obtained when the mustard or radish plants are in the four-leaf stage.
