Twenty Million Population Hardly a week passes without some national magazine carrying a story on the prodigious growth of the Pacific coast, and in particular, California. But as amazing as this story of growth is, it is one which is not likely to end for decades. The three of four million newcomers who have arrived here in the past few years will be joined, it is predicted, by another seven or eight million, probably by 1960. Speaking on the problems which this further rise in population will create, E. A. Mattison, executive vice-president of Bank of America, recently declared in a San Francisco speech that the economic machinery, especially in the banking field, will be capable of coping with the situation. He pointed out that the branch banking systems, through which 85 per cent of all banking is done in California, are admirably suited to meet financial needs of our Those who favor repeal—and they include many welfare and civic organizations, including the California Council for the Blind—are not seeking to deny assistance to the old and the blind. Indeed, the benefits paid would continue at the current figure. Their goal is to establish a welfare system which will be as free as possible of abuses, which the state can pay for without going broke or boosting taxes to intolerable limits, and which can be adapted to changing needs and times. The constitutional amendment was "sold" through a high-pressure promotion campaign, led by a participant in the old Ham-n-Eggs drive, who, it is said, plans to move eastward in an attempt to fasten similar schemes on other states. This alone gives the forthcoming California election national importance. The existing California law represents "special welfare" gone mad—and in the long run it would hurt the needy just as much as the rest of the people. Californians can show their determina- Speaking on the problems which this further rise in population will create, E. A. Mattison, executive vice-president of Bank of America, recently declared in a San Francisco speech that the economic machinery, especially in the banking field, will be capable of coping with the situation. He pointed out that the branch banking systems, through which 85 per cent of all banking is done in California, are admirably suited to meet financial needs of our expanding west because they can mobilize financial resources and make them available where needed. "Just as the run-off from our snow covered mountains," declared Mattison, "is gathered and conserved for direction into irrigation, industrial and domestic use, as and where required, so is the reservoir of financial resources of branch banking systems, fed by areas of surplus, directed into channels of supply for the needs of every kind of constructive human activity. In no other way can the needs of tomorrow be met." He estimated that as many as 1¼ million new homes may be needed here in the next decade. This construction, along with all the other building that must be done, will certainly keep the hammers and saws going at a busy pace. What of the Future? Taxes have reached beyond reasonable limits. The man from Missouri won't be able to whirl Congress in line to put his tax schemes into effect. Where the Democrats slipped up is on the apparently small item of the "sales tax." The whole country is against that sort of petti-fogging. What the average person wants is to have plenty of money to spend and you won't see many of our citizens changing in that direction. There has been no indication that the United States government will discontinue its extravagant spending in contemplation of World War Number III: The Marshall Plan heads the list—and believe it or not, that plan is popular with nearly all the masses. Evidently red ink defies are here to stay for quite a while. The current income does not cover all government expenses as they are bound to be approved in the future as in the past by our government in Washington. Texas Headaches To Cut Trains The government has ordered a cut in coal burning railroad passenger service after deadlocked contract talks affecting nearly two-thirds of the strike-bound coal industry collapsed. Coal burning passenger locomotives on all railroads in the nation that have a 25 or less days coal supply on hand were ordered to curtail service 25 per cent. The ICC said railroad stocks had reached a "dangerously low level." It added that "an emergency exists requiring immediate action in all sections of the country." It was estimated that 25 railroads, about one-third the nation's total, had 30 days or less supply of coal on hand Oct. 1. Accent Is on Youth This week the accent is on youth as the largest rural youth organization in the world—the 4-H Clubs—observes National 4-H Achievement Week. Members number nearly five hundred in Orange county. This is certainly a time when all citizens of Orange county will do well to encourage the work of the 4-H Clubs, examine the results which they have achieved, and tell others of the benefits to be derived from taking some part in the program. Four-H Clubs constitute an outstanding body of boys and girls. They attain worthwhile goals in life and as a character-building influence they are of uppermost importance. It is a great satisfaction to know that the work of the 4-H Clubs is based on each club member doing a useful piece of work on the farm or in the home, or community under skilled guidance and doing it the best way known to research and practice. It is also a satisfaction to know that 4-H Clubs have become an outstanding influence in developing the cul- At a recent session of the O Lodge of F. & A.M., Theo H Esq., was appointed inspector the district comprising the ties of Los Angeles and San Francisco. Charles Miller who is supposed to have stolen Clark's shoes to have robbed a room in the heim hotel is now leading a life in San Quentin. Not how for the above aberrations of but for some others of a nature, which were proved in Los Angeles. There will be an exhibition the Presbyterian church on day evening for the benefit Sabbath school. The exhibit will consist of Bible scenes tha a camera obscura, with a Taxes, Headaches, More Taxes It is beyond human imagination to understand why the White House and Congress take it for granted that they can impose more back-breaking loads onto the tax payers indefinitely. The President will continue his fight for more taxes. Therefore, new schemes will bud under such names as: deficits, more debt. In short "Hells-a-Popping," and our government evidently keeps on sliding backward. At least there are no signs of good or better government in sight for the person who wants to know the low-down at the national capital. Welfare Gone Mad On November 8th the voters of California, at a special election, will have a chance to set a salutary example for the rest of the country—and, at the same time, save their state from financial disaster. The most important measure on the ballot is known as Proposition Number Two. If approved it will repeal a constitutional amendment, passed by a small majority at last November's general election, which fastened an old-age pension scheme of stratospheric cost on the state, which can only result in prohibitive taxation.

Spend no money in Los Angeles for dry goods or for anything else that you can buy at home. 25 Years Ago November 15, 1924 Following a meeting of the board of directors of the First National and American Savings banks Thursday, an announcement was made that a change had been deemed advisable in the previous Colony Quips (Continued from Page 1) it will give you a sick feeling in the mid-section. Then the head of one of our large marketing groups comes out and says because the Valencias did not taste good this year, because of the cold weather, it allowed the frozen concentrate a larger market than otherwise would have been the case. But that the coming season when the fruit was big and good California would recapture the market and bring money back to the grower. He must have been talking about the navel organes because the government forecast is for smaller Valencias than ever. It gets harder and harder for us to know, at this distance, just who some of these shippers are working for. Seems to us that the grower's interests should be considered a little. Perhaps we in the Valencia deal are just step-children. We all know that the navel growers want no part of the new frozen concentrate because the navel is not a juice orange. We all know our larger deals are run by the navel boys and they want no part of this frozen concentrate except to order a new "survey" on it only to stall the program gracefully for another year, when a new "survey" can be ordered. We were told by a person on the inside that one of our principle shippers expects very few withdrawals for the simple reason that the fruit returns will not be in the hands of growers until the withdrawal period is past. How long will that kind of thinking suffice? Make no mistake about this: there is a tremendous change coming in the way our Valencia crop will be handled. It is not too far off either. Remember when you vote on scale will not be changed. But a "yes" vote will cut the expense of administration and some further drains on the taxpayer.
