California Legislation.

The recent session of the Califor-
MIA legislature, which attracted
worldwide attention on account of
the anti-alien land bill, has been re-
markable in more ways than one.
The New York Sun thus sums up it's
labors, not all of which by the way,
were consummated:
No less than four thousand up
lift" bills have been introduced in
the progressive legislature of Cali
fornia, which has been dubbed the
Army of Armageddon encamped at
Sacramento" No more remarkable
law-making body was ever known in
America or elsewhere. If it has it's
sweet will of its reform impulses:
Canary birds will have cages not
less than three feet square; the bees
of the state will have the guardian
ship and care of commissioner; ev-
cry dozen of eggs sold will weigh not
less than a minimum prescribed
hotel sheets will be at least ninety in
ches long and eighty-one inches wide;
boys and girls in the public schools
will wear uniforms; secondhand un-
derwear will be washed before sale;
mothers will receive a pension of s12
month for one child and 81 for
each additional child; no aviator will
fly while drunk; soldiers who do not
like the fare at veterans homes will
have a state pension and board else
where; a man or woman entering a
French restaurant will be liable to
arrest; convicts will be paid for the
work they do in the state institu-
tons; farmers will cut their weeds
or be fined; a rope will hang from
every hotel window; murderers serv-
ing sentences will be placed in soli-
tary confinement on every anniver-
sary of their crime; citizens failing
to vote will be penalized; judicial
decisions will lie recalled if not APP
proved of; the National Guard and
naval militia will be abolished; and
poverty also will be abolished.
AS the laborer is worthy of his
| hire, it is proposed to establish
many boards and commissionerships
for the faithful. Thus, if 1.-The Ar
my of Armageddon' stands togeth-
er and Governor Hiram Johnson is
complaisant, there are to be state
boards of barber examiners, chiro-
practic examiners, mechanotherapiC
examiners, electric examiners, nurse
examiners, mosquito control board
commissioner for the adjustment
of poverty" a "psychopathic parole
officer" to look after the mentally
sick, and many other boards, exam
liners and commissioners, no less than
three hundred in all.
The progressives are in the saddle
in California with vengeance. With
start of this kind the wonder Is
what won't come up for regulation
| if the same forces control the next
session. And with all the fads Of the
California legislators no voice was
raised in behalf of the most needed
reform in every state, viz: Better
and more stringent divorce laws

The Most Valuable Kind of a Cow.

In Farm and Fireside, contribu-
tor shows how the high butter-pro'
ducing COW is being developed on
many farms. To start right, such
cows should be. sired by sire from
COW that had the milking habit
and the farther back this line OF
breeding has been carried, the bet
ter. Following is an extract:
Farmers want COW that has
capacity for five hundred pounds OF
butter-fat in one year. 1t can be
done, and is being done. A COW bred
for butter-fat production can pro-
duce about three times as much but
ter-fat from a liberal, well-balanced
ration as the average COW when she
is given full opportunity to do her
best. If the milk from the average
COW of the butter breeds manufac-
tured into butter and by products OF
the milk is worth SIS in one year
the milk from the COW with five
hundred pound butter-fat record /:
worth 1925, and if she is a pure
bred cow her calf when weaned from
the milk food is worth at least from
$50 to 500 more, making the gross
receipts from the cow close to $500

FACTS CONCERNING coMPUl od ri soRYi EDuckTtoN' LAW. a

Recent discussions caused by the complications ensuing from the de- termination of certain patrons of the Blue School district to refuse to per init the attendance of their children at the school there gives rise to a study of the compulsory education law of the state. The parents of these children were of the opinion that they could legally refuse to send their children to the school, thereby preventing the holding of school there this term, as the mini mum number of students requisite for the conduct of a school in Ari- zona is eight, and by withholding their chiIdrens' attendance, the mini mum could not have been reached.
 The provisions of the law concern ing the right of a parent to withhold his child from school are presented essentially as follows:
 The trustees of a school may grant exemption of attendance on the part of a child because of the below enumT
