CONSTITUTION TINKERING We hear a great deal about proposed changes to the American Constitution, but to most of us it is more or less of an academic issue, and we surmise that little if anything will be done about it. Yet it may surprise some of us to realize that sixty-five resolutions to change our Constitution have been introduced in Congress during the past few months. In an interesting article "Constitution Tinkering," in which he comments on this fact, Captain John B. Trevor, president of the American Coalition, says in part in the current issue of the National Republic: "The open season for Constitution tinkering seems to be at hand. Not since the days of Civil War reconstruction has there been so much effort to revise or amend the fundamental law embodied in the Constitution of the United States. "What little public sentiment there is for amending the Constitution was given a political impetus recently by the expressions of disappointment on the part of certain persons high in the 'New Deal,' following the action of the Supreme Court of the United States nullifying the National Recovery Act. Even the President of the United States, following this historic decision, gave vent to his vexation and disappointment by asserting that the Court's action had taken us back to the "horse and buggy days" of American government. Almost immediately there were proposals from various so-called reformers that our fundamental law be changed; that Congress or the administration at Washington be given the right through constitutional changes to set aside state rights and the constitutional balance of government and to regulate all of the business and industry of the country, in the state, the county and the village, telling Mr. Citizen how long he SYNOPSIS Richard the Lion Heart, King of England, joins the Holy Crusade to cancel a pledge of marriage to Alice, sister of the scheming King Philip of France. The Crusaders run out of supplies at Marseilles and Richard is forced to marry Berengaria, daughter of the King of Navarre, in exchange for food for his army. Never having seen Berengaria, Richard sends his troubadour, Blondel, to take his place at the wedding ceremony. Later, when Richard meets his wife for the first time, he is fascinated by her charm and beauty. CHAPTER V Now Richard, by Grace of God King of England; Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, count of Anjou, etc., etc., was an excellent rider; and in the lists he seemed riveted to his saddle; but this information almost tumbled him into the dirt of the little Marseilles street. "My wife!" "Berengaria of Navarre. You married her last night." "Why didn't you tell me she looks like that!" "You didn't ask me." Richard looked at him a moment, speechless. Then Richard jerked at his bridle, wheeled rode. Even the President of the United States, following this historic decision, gave vent to his vexation and disappointment by asserting that the Court's action had taken us back to the "horse and buggy days" of American government. Almost immediately there were proposals from various so-called reformers that our fundamental law be changed; that Congress or the administration at Washington be given the right through constitutional changes to set aside state rights and the constitutional balance of government and to regulate all of the business and industry of the country, in the state, the county and the village, telling Mr. Citizen how long he might work and for what wage, regulating the price at which the merchant might buy and sell; in short, acting as a sort of paternal mentor to American citizens who had builted a great nation through individual initiative and enterprise. "The danger of Constitution tinkering is not over. Mr. Average Citizen will perhaps be astonished to know that in both houses of Congress during the recent session no less than sixty-five resolutions were introduced looking toward the amending of the Constitution of the United States! When the fact is taken into consideration that during our 148 years of existence as a constitutional government, only twenty-two amendments to the Constitution have been adopted, and that ten of these have been regarded almost as an integral part of the great American document, because of their early approval, we may get some idea of what was in the minds of our representatives and senators during the past several months. "Of course, a few of the proposed amendments are not in themselves fundamental. Some of them might have a very good chance of adoption in a period when there was not so much feeling against and discussion of Constitution tinkering. Other proposed amendments, however, are by no means innocent of changing the fundamental principle of American government. Some of them provide for the abrogating of states' rights and seem to anticipate the setting up at Washington of a complete bureaucracy which would regulate the entire life and activities of our people everywhere. Others would destroy our balanced system of government by curbing the powers of the Supreme Court, taking away from the American people their right to appeal against legalized oppression, and giving them over to the mercy of any misguided party which might be in power politically. Still others would make such things easier by facilitating the amending of the Constitution itself; some would seek to "redistribute wealth," and others to "outlaw war," and at the same time render us incapable of defending ourselves against a foreign foe or a domestic revolution." TERRIFIC COST OF GOVERNMENT We hear a great deal frequently about the high cost of government. But the phrase has become so commonplace that few people actually realize just what the tremendous cost of our government is. There are even a few apologists who compare our situation with that of Great Britain and point to the fact that income tax rates are higher over there than here. They neglect to take into account the fact that in the United States our federal income taxes are only a beginning and that we have state, county, and municipal taxes in a degree that are unheard of in Great Britain. Not only are these taxes burdensome to our people—the local taxes "My wife!" "Berengaria of Navarre. You married her last night." "Why didn't you tell me she looks like that!" "You didn't ask me." Richard looked at him a moment; speechless. Then Richard jerked at his bridle, wheeled, rode back toward the balcony. Blondel was after him, pleading. "ISire, you can't do this! The fleet is waiting! The King of France is ready to sail with the tide!" "He'll sail," gritted Richard, "and so will I. And so will my Queen." He stopped under the balcony. He smiled. "Angel, I have learned. I confes my sin. I ask forgiveness. I am in the dust at your feet." Berengaria said bitterly: "So is my veil." He remembered it, looked down. Yes, the bridal veil still was tied to Fauvel's left forelock, a bandage. It had come loose. It was trailing. Richard's face, never pale, now was almost black with embarrassment. "Why—er—why, my horse is wounded." "And so am I." She started away. He called: "Wait!" She said from the doorway: "This is not England. You do not command here." "Lady, I am Richard. I command wherever I go." He was out of the saddle now, and climbing the balcony rail. He was laughing. An hour later the master of the women's ship begged audience with Alice, sister of the King of France. "Your pardon, my lady, but there is another lady come aboard, and—and she must—she is to have this cabin." Princess Alice sat up. "Surely you have made a mistake," she said coldly. "This is the royal cabin." "Aye, but—but, my lady, this lady—" Then Berengaria came in. There were only two servants with her. She looked tired. Alice's dark eyes became very TERRIFIC COST OF GOVERNMENT We hear a great deal frequently about the high cost of government. But the phrase has become so commonplace that few people actually realize just what the tremendous cost of our government is. There are even a few apologists who compare our situation with that of Great Britain and point to the fact that income tax rates are higher over there than here. They neglect to take into account the fact that in the United States our federal income taxes are only a beginning and that we have state, county, and municipal taxes in a degree that are unheard of in Great Britain. Not only are these taxes burdensome to our people—the local taxes fall much heavier, directly, on the small man than do the federal taxes, although, in the end, of course, the consumer pays most of them anyhow. A vivid illustration of the high cost of government was given, however, in a recent address by Harper Sibley, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, when he said: "It would take 68 cents of every retail dollar that was spent in the United States last year to equal the cost of government. "It would take 31 cents of every such dollar to equal the cost of the federal government. "The annual costs of government are equal to two-thirds of all the wages and salaries received last year by all our citizens other than government employees. "All of the interest and all of the dividends received by individuals would run the government less than four months." Here are some figures worth cogitating. Sixty-eight cents out of every retail dollar to pay the cost of government, national, state and local, in the United States! And yet there are some people who think so feebly that they propose to saddle the cost of government "onto the rich." The absurdity of such a proposition is manifest when we consider the terrific cost of government. It requires the money not only of the rich but of the man in middle economic life and of the wage earner to pay for keeping our various governments going. Anyone who will think over the problem carefully for a moment can easily come to realize that there are not enough rich, not even enough well-to-do in the United States to pay for the kind of expensive government we are now living under. The trouble seems to be that in spite of all that is said and printed about the dangers of high taxation, the government bill seems to be mounting each year. Some people seem to be obsessed with the idea that there is some magic there is another lady come aboard, and—and she must—she is to have this cabin." Princess Alice sat up. "Surely you have made a mistake," she said coldly. "This is the royal cabin." "Aye, but—but, my lady, this lady—" Then Berengaria came in. There were only two servants with her. She looked tired. Alice's dark eyes became very small. "I am Alice of France, bethroth-ed to King Richard. Who are you?" Berengaria looked back the way she had come, toward the shore which was fading already. "I am his wife," she said quietly.

Then Richard is bridle wheeled rode Moslem Sultan Yusuf al-Saladin was trapped, and Berengaria had recovered from the sea trip. It was good to lie in a real bed again. She stretched full-length, smiling a little, while Tina, her duenna, snuffed out all the candles but one. She murmured: "Good night Tina." Then there was am an's voice: "Good night, Tina." She looked up sharply. Richard of England stood holding back the tent entrance, smiling upon the duenna. "Good night, Tina," he said again. And when the flustered fat woman had scampered out, he let fall the tent flap and strode to wnere Berengaria lay. He started to relight the candles, using the little bed lamp. Berengaria slid far down under the covers, until only the top of her head showed. "You did not find your way to my tent," Richard said pleasantly. "I like my own tent better." "How should you know?" "The posts of my bed are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and they have been consecrated to my safety." "I, too, as your husband," he reminded her, "am consecrated to your safety." his spurs, cried over his shoulder: "If you'd been in my tent, where you belong, they wouldn't have had to look all over the camp for me! Where the devil's my sword?" She said timidly: Here—Here is thy sword, Richard." He strapped it on, shoving his squire aside. To Leicester he shouted: "Robert! Stay here, and guard my wife. Keep her in bed—if you can. I can't!!" And then he was gone, and there was nothing but swaying canvas and the echoes of his voice—and Leicester, who stood looking grimly at his Queen. She whispered: "He—He may be killed." "Yes, my lady. He may be killed." She went slowly to her priedieu, and fell to her knees. And there, with Leicester looking hard at her, and with the bang and shriek of battle outside, the zizzing of quarrels, the whirr of stones, the clash of steel against steel, the unremitting trump of recoil pads on the machines—there she prayed through the night. Conrad of Montferrat was very sober, very grave, as he went next afternoon to see Berengaria.

"Then stand on guard outside." He wasn't angered. He tapped caen of the bedposts in turn, smiling at them, addressing them. "Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, you understand that this lady is my wife?" "Who wishes to be alone," said Beregaria. He unstrapped his great sword. He laid it aside, sat on the edge of the bed, and began to take off his left spur. She was suddenly alarmed. "What are you doing?" "Well, you wouldn't come to my tent." "If I scream, every woman in this camp will come!" "Do you think they'd b e interested?" He was working on the right spur now. "I'm no pale gallant, to sit at a woman's feet and plead," he pointed out. "No, you'd take by storm! What's a woman to you? A citadel. A herd of cattle. It's not so easy, Richard of England! Leave my tent." "As you will," he rose languidly. Then he bent, scooping her up, coverlet and all. "But you go with me." "Put me down! Put me down!" She slipped out of the coverlet, and left him holding it. She sprang to the bed, caught up his great sword. He cried: "Remember—I'm your husband!" "You're not!" She swung the blade high. "This is my husband! This is what I married!" She brought it down viciously. He dodged, amazed. "You little devil! Drop that!" She cried: "My husband will defend me!" and raised the sword for another blow. CHAPTER VI They had not heard the trumpets, the thudding of feet, the clank of steel.

January 12, 1777, Mission Santa Clara was established, and named for Saint Clara of Assisi, Italy, the first means "clear" or "bright", and according to the Roman Book of Martyrs, as Hortalana, the pious mother of this nun, was once kneeling before a crucifix, praying earnestly, that she might be happily delivered of her unborn babe, she heard a voice whispering, "Fear not, woman, thou wilt safely bring forth;" whereupon a brilliant light suddenly illumined the place, and the mother, inspired by the mysterious prediction, baptized her child Clara, which is the feminine of the word meaning clear or bright. Clara afterwards was sanctified on account of her many eminent virtues, and accordingly venerated by the Catholics in all Roman Catholic churches, and cannonized under the name Saint Clara. The Franciscan padres de La Pena and Murguia founded the Mission Santa Clara and it was from this mission the county derived its name. Santa Clara's natural beauty and commercial wealth make it one of California's outstanding counties. Mountain ranges on the west that act as a barrier against coast fogs and winds and eastern ranges which shut out the heat of the San Joaquin Valley in summer, Santa Clara's famous orchards present a scene of gorgeous colors. The county is a heavy producer of all farm and orchard crops. A total of approximately 70,000 acres of prunes produce annually more than $9,808,000 worth of this crop. About 19,000 acres of apricot produce to the extent of $3,500,000 annually, the pear crop is valued at more than $2,000,000 and cherries bring in about $1,190,000 a year. The average fruit acreage is 119,676 with an annual crop valuation exceeding $15,000,000. Agricultural products account for buildings are valued at $10,000,000.

The Board of Directors met in regular weekly session. Present a full Board. The minutes of the meeting held on March 11th were read and approved. Mr. Korn reported having inspected the ditch and found the same in good order. Mr. Barr was selected to visit the ditch next week. Warrants were ordered drawn in payment of the following bills: F. J. J. Schmitt, bill No. 225, $50; A. Guy Smith & Co., bill No. 226, $3.60; H. Knapke, bill No. 277, $33.00; R. Melrose, bill No. 228, $30.00; Total, $116.60. It was moved by Mr. Hartung that an engineer be employed to resurvey the reservoir and the route of ditch thereto, for the purpose of verifying Mr. Miller's report. The motion was seconded by Mr. Barr and adopted. Several amendments to the bylaws were offered by Mr. Zeyn; but it appearing to the Board that it would be better to alter some of the phrases, and Mr. Zeyn having consented to having the alterations made, they were so changed in accordance with the views of the Board. The amendments were then introduced and spread upon the minutes, to come up for action at the next general meeting of stockholders: Proposed Amendments to By-Laws: Add to Section 7 of Article II—"But before a new certificate is issued, the location of the land to which the stock is to be applied must be stated to the Board of Directors, who may refuse to issue a certificate if in their judgment it is not profitable or expedient for the company to carry water to said land."

"And Philip will not fight—" "Ah! How terrible that the lovely thing you are can destroy that fine king your husband!" Destroy Richard! "And the Crusade." "It cannot be! Richard can give me up—and annul the marriage—send me away—" "You know he will never do that." He was watching her closely now. It was well, for him, that she was so much in love. "Tell me—tell me what I must do!" "You are indeed a saint! But you must step from the path of the Crusade." "You mean—kill myself?" He only bowed. He had wished to have her say it. But he was sure of her now. He was sure, too, that Richard would be too busy in council to disabuse her. He sobbed little. He bent over her hand, and turned, sobbing, to stagger away. She was whispering: "I see—to have Richard." For a long time she sat there, thinking, looking at nothing. sometimes her lips moved a little, or she prayed; out for the most she was motionless. It was dark when she rose. She walked swiftly, unnoticed, to the outer line of mantlets. Continued Next Issue FORNIA COUNTY STATE RECORDS numerous canneries and packing plants.

Few farming communities can boast a proximity to beach and mountain resorts of such a character as offered by Santa Cruz county. Within a radius of 30 miles lie Del Monte, Monterey, Pacific Grove, Ben Lomond, Brookdale, Boulder Creek, Felton, the Big Trees and California Redwood Park. Watsonville is the center of the apple growing district. It is the third largest shipping point between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Its huge packing houses and canneries are impressive.

The derivation of the name of the county, which was taken from the mountain of that name, is in doubt. Some authorities claim the name "Shasta" is derived from Shas-ti-ka, the name of a tribe of Indians that lived at the base of Mt. Shasta. The word "Shas-ti-ka" means "stone house or cave dwellers." Other authorities claim that the word "Shasta" is a corruption of the French word "chaste", and was applied by explorers because of the wonderful whiteness or chastity of the eternal snow that caps the summit of this wonderful peak. This county is the twelfth largest in the State. Stock raising, agricultural and mineral production, lumbering and a mecca for sportsmen, make Shasta a land of many attractions. While millions in gold, copper and other ores have been mined, geologists believe the surface merely has been scratched. McCloud River, Rising River and Fall River and Burney, Cottonwood, Battle and Hat Creeks enable the county to rank high in potential hydro-electric power generation.
