Farmers Receive Aid

/ rdElHCTb ItCCClSO Alu
Several measures which weathered
the storm are of special interest to
the agricultural classes. Notwith-
standing his announced determine
|tion to refuse to create any new Of
Ifices, the governor passed the farm
markets BILL carrying with it a di-
rector. The predatory animal fund,
made useless by a decision of the
tsupreme court year ago, is again
factor in the war against coyotes
and other beasts dangerous to the
stock interests. A great number of
measures affecting irrigation districts
were approved. The measure exempt
ing fuit trees from taxation was
among those which survived.
Women who have been interested
in legislation will find that several
o ftheir pet emasures are numbered
among the convalescent. The Whit
aker bill, as announced by the States
man Wednesday morning, the meas
ure giving wife control of her earn
Iings and the income of her own prop
erty. the lazy husband law, and the
anti-drug bill are among these.
