SACRAMENTO (WNS)—Buried in Governor Earl Warren's announcement of his intention to seek re-election for a third term was a statement of interest to every city and county government in the state. The Warren message generally was not startling. The governor studiously avoided, as he has in the past, making the usual political campaign promises. He stuck close to the program which observers have predicted he will follow in this campaign—that of making a stand for good government. He offered his record of public service as his qualifications. He pointed to the need for continued progress in this state and declared himself opposed to socialism. With the one exception the governor proposed no specific action, recalled no specific example of progress which has been accomplished during his two terms as governor. But, couched in soft language, Warren served notice on city and county governments of the state they can expect no solace from him. "I will therefore encourage and assist local governments to solve their own problems rather than have the state take them over," he said. What this means in plain English is that future raids on the state treasury attempted by local governments will be stoutly resisted by the governor. During the war years the state built up a sizeable reserve fund. In one swoop the cities and counties raided the treasury for more than 100 million dollars via the so-called "Christmas Tree Bill." In another grab the school districts of the state clipped an additional 55 million dollars from the surplus revenues. Warren opposed both of these proposals but the legislature overrode his objections. In the short period of 20 years state aid to local governments has grown from $26 millions a year to well over $250 millions annually. Contrary to what might have been expected these subventions by the state have not relieved the local taxpayer's burden, instead local governments have merely increased their spending. Tucked away in an odd corner of the state capitol is a little agency of which few persons have ever heard. This is the Division of Administrative Procedure. It has a staff of six persons. Yet, for size, it is performing a gigantic service to the state. For it is this agency, headed by a young and hard working attorney, Ralph N. Kleps, which has brought a semblance of order to a chaotic field of state law. Here are assembled in order all of the voluminous acts of the various administrative agencies of the state. Until 1945 state officials had been grinding out regulations willy-nilly. As the state grew so, too, did the stacks of regulations adopted by the rapidly multiplying agencies of state government. The result was, one neither knew what the laws were nor where to find them.

Until 1945 state officials had been grinding out regulations willy-nilly. As the state grew so, too, did the stacks of regulations adopted by the rapidly multiplying agencies of state government. The result was, one neither knew what the laws were nor where to find them. On top of this, persons untrained in the law were acting as judges in matters involving persons charged with infractions of these administrative regulations. Licenses of individuals were revoked, other disciplinary actions were taken and few persons ever received even the semblance of a legal and fair hearing. Into this picture in 1943 moved Kleps, then a law clerk for Chief Justice Phil S. Gibson. Engaged by the judicial council of the state to study the problem he dug in and returned with a report recommending legislation which was adopted in 1945. This created the present agency which now provides competent attorneys to serve as hearing officers or the various state agencies. Through the work of Kleps, California now stands in the eyes of the American Bar Association as one of the most advanced states in this field of law. Other states are finding the pattern here to straighten out their own jumbled administrative laws. A recent contribution to this specialized branch of law has been Kleps’ offering to the legal profession of the first reports of California unemployment cases. Herefore the decisions of this important state agency have been unreported. Under such conditions, businessmen of the state have had little opportunity to determine their legal position in the various tax matters involving unemployment and disability insurance.

On top of this, trained in the law were judges in matters inpersons charged with inof these administrative war veterans more than $100,000 this year. This is another instance of misrepresentation to the legislature by public employees. In this case the county assessors association secured enactment of a measure which requires the recording of a sales contract when a home is being purchased on a conditional sale. The purpose of this act, accord-ing to the proponents, was to prevent unscrupulous persons from securing tax exemptions by entering into pseudo sales agreements with veterans. Under a special act voted by the people of the state, California war veterans who own property valued under $5,000 are granted a $1,000 tax exemption. Questioned as to whether this measure would affect the 21,000 California veterans who are purchasing homes under the state's own veteran farm and home loan act, the assessors told legislators it would not. They stated it was only aimed at some private interests who they believed were evading taxes through the device of "phoney" sales agreements. With this assurance the legislature approved the measure. Now it develops the California veteran home purchasers were not excluded and are to be compelled to record their state contracts in order to receive the exemptions to which they are legally and morally entitled. As a result each of the 21,000 veterans under contract with the state will have to spend between $4 and $8 to have these contracts recorded. While California republicans will concentrate their efforts on re-electing Governor Earl Warren for the third term, the democratic party will channel its efforts along another line.

The Great Virgil is considered tops in the entertainment realm of magical showmanship. Press clippings show that just last week-end he played to sell-out houses in Long Beaeh and completely wowed the city of San Diego with recent stellar performances. Combining pagentry and elaborate staging, Virgil is said to present no ordinary sleight-of-hand show. He has been likened to such greats of the field of magic as Houdini, Thurston and Keller. His "Cavalcade of Mystery" represents an investment of $100,-000 and 35-years spent in development.

As a result each of the 21,000 veterans under contract with the state will have to spend between $4 and $6 to have these contracts recorded. While California republicans will concentrate their efforts on re-electing Governor Earl Warren for the third term, the democratic party will channel its efforts along another line. Not that the democratic party officials would not like to unseat Mr. Warren who now looms as a potential threat nationally. But the Bourbon party leaders have mapped out a program calling for all-out efforts on the local level. The republican party apparently will campaign on the state level seeking to re-elect Warren and the other GOP state office holders. The democrats, under the leadership of Oliver J. Carter, will seek to capture majorities in both houses of the legislature and to defeat republican congressmen. They will not attempt to unseat such officials as state controller Thomas Kuchel, secretary of state Frank Jordan or state treasurer Charles "Gus" Johnson. The theory behind this strategy is based on the overwhelming democratic registration in this state. They feel that if the democrats can be "brought out" to the polls on election day to vote for democratic candidates for the assembly, Senate and Congress, they will also vote for democratic candidates for state offices, particularly that of governor. Another reason why the democratic party officials will make no effort to defeat constitutional officers like Kuchel, Jordan and Johnson is reapportionment. Following the 1950 elections and federal census it will be the duty of the legislature to reapportion the assembly and congressional districts. If the democrats do not have a strong voice in the legislature, they feel the reapportionment will be decidedly unfavorable. With this in mind party leaders made their decision to concentrate on winning additional legislative seats.
