No. 4 Proposition—Its Fate Although the fate of Proposition No. 4, the old age pension initiative, continues to hang by a thread, state capitol attaches today began speculating on what legal steps could be started to halt operation of the proposal. More than a week will elapse, it was pointed out, before it is known officially whether No. 4 carried, as all absentee ballots must be canvassed to determine the issue, which at last reports had about a 23,000 lead. Some 65,000 absentee ballots are out, according to the best estimates of the Secretary of State’s office. Meanwhile, the speculation reached the point as to whether or not the proposal is constitutional within the meaning of the federal constitution. It was pointed out that the Constitution of the United States provides in Article V, Sec. 4, that “The United States shall guarantee to every state in this Union a Republican form of government . . .” The old age initiative, it is contended, may violate that section in that the initiative operated as a “bribe” to the voter, briefly, on the point that it held out an old age pension, provided certain individuals were elected to public office. Administrative and financial phases of initiative. It is believed, he said, there is sufficient money in the state treasury to start a program, and the question of raising money to finance it in the future will be up to state legislature when it meets here in January. Whether use of available money will throw state finances into a deficit has been determined. Do You Borrow? According to an article in This Week magazine too many people who borrow money also borrow trouble along with it. So of the causes of the trouble are that they borrow more than they can repay, or they sign loan contracts without first careful reading the provisions, or they get involved with loan sharks, and so on. In giving little good advice on how to get the money without the headache the magazine suggests that you borrow no more than you need and in any case not more than 10 percent of your annual salary. It is suggested too, that you borrow from a bank rather than a loan company because of the low bank interest rate. This also eliminates danger of getting mixed up with unlicensed lenders who charge terrific interest rates. It was pointed out that the Constitution of the United States provides in Article V, Sec. 4, that "The United States shall guarantee to every state in this Union a Republican form of government..." The old age initiative, it is contended, may violate that section in that the initiative operated as a "bribe" to the voter, briefly, on the point that it held out an old age pension, provided certain individuals were elected to public office. This factor, attorneys state, negates the democratic concept of free government, in that the people had no opportunity to nominate or elect representatives of their own choice to the public office created by the initiative, namely, Director of Social Welfare. It was pointed out farther, that "A republican form of government" contemplates free elections on the part of the people as provided for in the state constitution, and that an election in which the people have had no opportunity to nominate candidates to public office might be in violation of this concept. Whether it will be necessary to test this question in the courts, of course, can't be decided until the fate of No. 4 is official, but during the period it takes to get an exact count of the votes, it is conceded that many an attorney will start digging in the law books and court decisions to determine what feasible method can be used to put a stopper on the initiative. Meanwhile, state officials are going ahead with calculations on the administrative and financial phases of the initiative. Governor Earl Warren, in a lengthy press conference, said it is the plain duty of the executive branch to administer the law if it is put into effect. He has asked Director of Finance James S. Dean to give him a report on both sign loan contracts without first careful reading the provisions, or they get involved with loan sharks, and so on. In giving little good advice on how to get the most without the headache the magazine suggests that you borrow no more than you need and in any case not more than 10 percent of your annual salary. It is suggest too, that you borrow from a bank rather than a loan company because of the low bank interest rate. This also eliminates danger of getting mixed up with unlicensed lenders who charge terrific interest rates. Besides, the banker is more interested getting you out of debt than keeping you it. Another pointer is not to withhold pertinent information about your financial status in applying for a loan. And, finally to be prompt in the payment of your obligations. Do these things and you'll get credit you need. You'll also get more sleep. A good many people feel—with ample notification—that football is becoming not more than a track meet. The trouble is that most of the running is not toward either goal line but back and forth from the bench. It's all due to the unlimited substitution changes in the lineup used to be made at or two positions at a time. Now it is not all unusual for one squad to be removed completely and a new one sent in—and it's often done many times during a game. It's all very confusing not only to the stators but to the coaches themselves. In game St. Mary's had 12 men on the field several plays before discovering the mistaken Army had only 10 men playing at one game in its contest with Cornell, and in its fight against Stanford the Cadets made almost 300 substitutions. The old substitution probably was not flexible enough, but a new one goes to the other extreme. Something between the two should make football once again look like football. More than ever today, the sign of the Mutual Orange Distributors stands for progressive action in the growing and marketing of citrus fruits. In the handling of both fresh and processed fruit, the long-range planning and effective operation of this tightly-knit organization continues to work to the fruit grower’s advantage. Already this cooperative is studying the factors that will influence tomorrow’s markets. Its experience, prestige, and skilled “know-how” will combine to bring maximum returns to its members. It will pay you to investigate the facilities of this modern marketing cooperative.
