CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 3.-The bill in which South
ern California is most interested, except
fng, possibly. the proposed legislation on
the subject of irrigation, is that for the
appropriation of an adequate sum to
properly display California interests at
the ST. Louis Worlds Fair next year.
This bill will be introduced by Senator
Fred NJ. Smith Of Los Angeles early in
the session. and 1t will be supported by
the entire southern delegation in both
houses.
The exact amount Of the appropriation
which the bill will carry has not been
definitely determined. This matter will
be settled only after consultation be-
tween a committee Of the southern men,
bers and Governor-elect Pardee That
consultation will be held Immediately
after the Inauguration of Dr. Pardee
When DR.. Pardee was last in Los An
geles he gave his unqualified promise to
use his efforts to secure the passage of
bill carrying a sufficient appropriation
to properly display California's industries,
but the amount was not mentioned. Sen
ator Smith said tonight that he hopes to
secure S200,000 The bill provides for the
appointment of three commissioners from
different sections of the State and gives
them the authority to appoint a director,
who will have charge of the entire Cali
fornia exhibit 1t also provides q proper
check upon all expenditures by the COM
mission and limits the expenditures of
the appropriation TO certain lines, the
idea being to prevent a repetition of the
scandal which followed the return of the
Exposition. DR.. Pardee has seen the
draft of the bill and has expressed him
self as being satisfied In the main with
it's provisions.
