what is the legal notary fee in
the various states ?"
This question is under discussion
among the officials of the Imperial
Irrigation District, due to claims be-
ing filed by signers of the bond pc
tition in cities and towns all over
the United States, for notary fees.
In a letter sent to the non resident
owners Of Imperial Valley real estate,
who are entitled to sign the bond pc
tition, Business Manager C. E. Paris
stated that any expense for notary
fees would be paid by the district.
Only small percentage of the signed
copies of the bond petition received
in the mail were accompanied with
bills for notary expense, but the
amounts claimed range from 25 cents
to $1.0O.
It happened that a bill was re-
ceived from a former Valley resident
residing in Milford Valley, Utah. This
land owner asked rs cents for no.
tary fee paid out. Mr.. Paris, who
formerly resided in Utah, is ac-
quainted with the fact that so cents
is the maximum limit for a notary
charge permitted by law. However,
the claim will be paid by the district
without protest in the belief that the
subscribed to the petition may have
been compelled to tip the notary to
do the work required. A San Diego
who signed the petition,
sent a bill for $1.0O notary fee.
There was no explanation of the ex-
cessive charge and it was thought
this official act of the notary was
probably obtained under great diff
culties. A letter received by Business
Manager Paris from Valley prop
erty owner now in Arizona stated that
the writer had been to much trouble
to visit the city and have the sigma
ture to the petition sworn to, but that
he believed the improvements provid-
ed for in the bond issue to be import
ant enough to him to cause him any
reasonable expense and he readily af-
fixed his signature.

denominations, recognizing the great
value of the work, are gladly cooper
ating with the organizations in bring

munity an opportunity of learning the
facts with regard to the care of ba-
bies, and, second, to bring home to
everyone in the community the i'm
rortance of the babies and the need
of permanent work for their well
fare.

sicians give most generously of THEN
time and strength.

STATE SCHOOL LANDS
GIVEN GREAT VICTORY

The most important decision af-
fecting the school land grant to the
State of California that has been rem
dered by the courts in many years
was decided by the United States SUI
preme court March 26, 1917, reversing
the decision of the s1lresz1,,ssa rs1s, .a,..fs $
the State of California e ~
brought by the Desert Wase -
Irrigation Company against TO, 9
of California and sustaining Z ar,
tentions of the state in all partke
concerning lieu lands that vera
volved in that case, thereby rewA
ing with victory the earnest efforA
made by Attorney General Webb and>
Surveyor General Kingsbury to pro-
tect t1e interest of 21O0 holders Of
certificates Of purchase for state lieu
lands aggregating about 100000 acres.
This decision is of great interest and
to the State of California
and will no doubt enable those hold
ing certificates of purchase for. lieu
lands to obtain titles which have been
unfortunately held up since 1914 be-
cause of the decision of the state SUI
preme court. In addition to this the
decision will put at rest the status
of the title to approximately 100000
acres which had been exchanged by
the federal government for state
school lands prior to the decision of
the state supreme court questioning
the validity of such transfers.
Surveyor General Kingsbury is in
Washington, D. c., and for the past
year has been endeavoring to secure
the passage of bill by Congress MAX
iEg provisions for the necessary re-
medal legislation concerning these
lieu lands and largely through his
efforts the bill passed the House Of
Representatives in August last with
out vote against it. 1t then went
to the United States Senate, but was
unfortunately caught in the filibuster
at the closing hours of the session
and could not be taken up for con-
sideration. However, the litigation
involved in the desert case having fin
ally terminated favorably to the State
f California, makes a sweeping VIC
ory for these officers of the state
and clears the way for the prompt
adjustment of the pending state salec-
tions embracing $4,000 acres of lieu
land when followed by the remedial
legislation which, in view of this de-
cision of the United States Supreme
court, Congress will, in all probability,
pass at the next session.
