FALL PROPOSITIONS EXPLORED BY SUMNER By BRUCE SUMNER At election time California voters are faced with a sometimes bewildering number of ballot propositions. For several years I have attempted to summarize their essentials and paraphrase the most frequently advanced arguments pro and con. On the June ballot there will be six propositions. The first five are bond issues. No bond issues will be on the November ballot. The question of whether the bond issues would be split between the June and November ballots was one of the principal issues before the 1962 Budget Session. A compromise resulted in all the bonds being placed on the June ballot. By way of background, I feel that it would be appropriate to discuss California's bond indebtedness as a whole. As of Nov. 30, 1961 our bonded indebtedness totaled $4,761,077,000. This amount included the $1,750,000,000 in bonds authorized for the Feather River Project, none of which have been sold. The following summary does not include redemption payments since Nov. 1961. General Obligation Bonds Bonds outstanding $2,648,880,000 Bonds authorized but unsold 2,112,197,000 Total bonds 2,850,177,000 Authorized $4,761,077,000 Proposed new bonds 970,000,000 TOTAL $1,821,197,000 bond issue for continuance of the State School Building Aid Program. The program provides loans or grants to school districts for acquisition of school sites, buildings and equipment. Money is allocated to individual school districts upon request through the State Allocation Board. The money is loaned or granted in accordance with the terms and conditions set by the Allocation Board. This Board, in turn, is regulated by statute. Arguments for: 1) The passage of this measure is essential if our State School Building Aid Program is to be continued. 2) The growth of our school-age population has out-stripped the ability of our local school districts to build the necessary classrooms. This measure is needed to prevent double sessions and other problems of over-crowding. 3) The money is carefully allocated. In the 13 years that the program has been in existence there has been little or no criticism of the procedure for loans and grants that has been established. Arguments against: 1) This bond issue should be considered at the November rather than the June election. 2) $200 million is inadequate; more money should be made available. 3) Our schools contain too many frills and by voting against this measure, protest against the high cost of school construction may be registered. date has been repaid on schedule. Therefore, there is absolutely no cost to the taxpayer as a result of this program. Arguments against: 1) This is the other bond issues increase bonded indebtedness of the State which, in turn, jeopardizes the credit of the State of California. Should all of the bond issues proposed at this election pass, the total authorized bonds for the State will total over $5.7 billion. 2) New veterans should be compensated in some other way through the provisions of this article. PROPOSITION III. This measure provides for a bond issue of $270 million for the building, construction equipment, and site a quisition of state buildings. This includes state colleges, universities, hospitals, and prisons. The measure includes $20 million for junior colleges; to be given as our right grants for construction projects, including the redemption of outstanding bonds and the payment of interest on such bonds sued for junior college capital or lay purposes. The proposition does not set forth a specific program for the junior college grants and further legislation will be necessary to set up the procedure for directing the expenditure of these funds. Arguments for: 1) Additional funds are needed by the state government to construct the necessary state facilities for our rapidly expanding population. 2) It General Obligation Bonds Bonds outstanding $2,648,880,000 Bonds authorized but unsold 2,112,197,000 Total bonds authorized $4,761,077,000 Proposed new bonds 970,000,000 TOTAL $5,731,077,000 There is no legal limit on the bonded indebtedness of our state. All state bonds must be authorized by a majority vote of the people. At some point, however, bonds voted by the people will be hard to sell without raising the interest rate to a prohibitive figure. There is a difference of opinion about when we will reach this point, but it is a fact to keep in mind. It should also be remembered that some bond proposals, such as the Cal Vet program provide for 100 per cent repayment. Others, such as the School Building Aid bond issue, provide for some repayment, and others such as the State Construction Bond Issue, provide for no repayment. PROPOSITION I.

Arguments against: 1) This bond issue should be considered at the November rather than the June election. 2) $200 million is inadequate; more money should be made available. 3) Our schools contain too many frills and by voting against this measure, protest against the high cost of school construction may be registered. PROPOSITION II. This proposition provides for bonds in the amount of $250 million to provide funds for the continuance of the Cal Vet Program. It is estimated that this new issue will provide funds through 1965 and possibly 1966. The total authorized bonds in this program including the proposed issue is $1,750,000,000. Arguments for: 1) The Cal-Vet Program was initiated in lieu of a bonus for California veterans, the feeling being that our veterans should be given an opportunity to borrow money at a low interest rate rather than be given an outright grant. Unless this bond issue is passed, some veterans will not receive the benefits already given others through this program. 2) The Cal Vet Program is entirely self-supporting. The money raised by these bond issues is loaned to veterans at an interest rate which covers not only the cost to the state of borrowing the money, but also the cost of administering the program.

Miss Burdick focused the spotlight on her activities as an Orange County clubwoman and her fame as the nation's tallest majorette. years later, we are faced with an other bond issue, necessitated by an increase in our state spending by 45 per cent over the last three years. The voters should turn down this proposal and demand that projects contemplated by the bond issue be built through savings in our other state programs. 2) The provisions and conditions for the expenditure of the $20 million for junior colleges is not clearly defined. 3) If additional funds are truly necessary for building state projects the issue should be faced squarely and the question of an increase in state taxes should be put before the people, rather than balancing the budget through a bond issue. U. S. Senator Thomas H. Kuchel announced today he has vacancies to fill this year at all four of the United States service academies and is now accepting applications from aspirants for appointments to the classes entering in the summer of 1963. With entrance examinations to be given in July, Kuchel will select young men for three openings at the Naval Academy and two openings at the Military Academy. He also will nominate 10 individuals for the Merchant Marine Academy and 11 for the Air Force Academy. The deadline for filing names with the Senator in order to be admitted to the scholastic tests is June 4. The examinations, held in many California cities and conducted by the U. S. Civil Service Commission, are scheduled for July 9. Kuchel's ultimate selections will be made on the basis of scores in the Civil Service tests.

A great-grandmother, Lady Bates, as her friends and neighbors affectionately call her, won't divulge her age, but says she has been canning and making preserves and jellies since she was 17 years old. She can't give any recipes or tips on how to win, because she says she has no recipes and she does it differently each time. She said that she scrubs her fingers, sterilizes the jars and utensils, scrubs and peels the items to be canned and goes to work. When she is done she first runs across the street and then next door to the official tasters—her neighbors. The neighbors keep tasting year after year, even though they complain they are getting fat doing so. Mrs. Bates, also a consistent sweepstakes winner at the fair, has been entering fairs since 1953 and has boxes and boxes of blue red and white ribbons. Everyone who comes to my door leaves with a canned gift usually with a ribbon attached to it, because," she said, "it's not the blue ribbons I like to win." Just like to prove an old lady can do something better than other people. In fact challenge anyone to a canning cuel anytime anywhere." On winning ribbons at the fair, Mrs. Bates had only this to say: "Everyone should enter something in the fair, and if it's in the home canning division she welcomes the competition." The Orange County Fair 1962 Premium Book explains all rules and premiums of the Home Ecquipment that Mrs. Bates will enter, along with the rules of all other departments, which are open to everyone.
