CALIFOANIANs WILL VOTE
 OIHV IInPORTlNT MEASURES
(By Associated Press)

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Feb. 28.- Twenty and possibly more constitu. Tional amendments will be submitted to the voters of California for ap. proval or rejection at the general cleo tion, November next. Eighteen of those already assured place on the ballot were proposed by resolutions adopted at the bennial session of the state legislature which opened Jan. B., 1917. Enough signatures have been ob- tained to an initiative petition placing the Amended Rominger act, abolishing saloons and regulating the sale of beverages containing" distilled spirits on the ballot, as has also been done in the case of a referendum measure to create state board of authoriza- ti0n and to regulate and limit the amount of tax levies by political sub divisions of the state.
 Initiative petitions may sill be filed, but in order to be placed on the. ballot they must be delivered to the secre- tary of state not later than Aug. 6, next.
 Among the constitutional amend ments proposed by the last legislature is one introduced in the senate which provides that the courts of appeal for the first and second appellate dis tricts, San Francisco and Los Angeles respectively shall each consist of two divisions of three justices each. The amendment provides that upon adop! tion the governor shall appoint six persons as justices in the two new appellate courts which would be created:
 sAnother senate amendment provides for the establishment of a system of health insurance for the support of persons and their dependents whose incomes are not sufficient to meet the hazards of sickness and disability.
 An amendment advanced in the as- sembly would change the suffrage sec tion of the constitution to enable travelling men, soldiers or sailors who may be absent from their precinct on election day, to vote.

INABILITY ID GET FUEL
 CONFR0NTS HAWA|IANS
lBy Associated Pressl

HONOLULU, T H., Jan. 30 Cby maiD The Union Oil Companv of California, which supplies much of the oil used in the Islands, sent notices yesterday to all of it's customers in Hawaii, cancelling all time and auant- ity contracts and advising of an ad. vance of two cents a barrel on the price of oil to be delivered hereafter.
 The company advised all customers who could possibly do so to convert their oil burners to coal burners.
 The shortage is due chiefly to the fact that the government has com mandeered for war purposes most of the tankers that bring oil to the Isl ands. Not only is there a serious shortage of fuel oil threatened, but of by-products as well, such as distillate. gasoline, kerosene and asphaltum.
 This is expected to curtafl, if not put an end to joy riding and even to the business use of automobiles. Gas sold in Honolulu is made from oil, and fears are expressed that the new or. der of things whl force the gas com. pany out of business.
 Virtually all industrial plants in Hawaii use oil for fuel, so the situa tion promises to affect the entire ter. ritory intimately ..s
 Food administrator Herbert c Hoover has specifically called upor the sugar men of Hawaii to increase their production. This, it is said can not be done if there is a serious short age of oil, and hope is expressed that in order to protect this industry and provide as much sugar as possible foi the nation and it's allies, the national government will take measures to pro vide the sugar plantations with tht necessary oil. If this cannot be done they will have to use coal and on ac count of the shortage of vessels, it is considered more than doubtful if sui ficient coal to keep the wheels turn ing can be obtained, unless spscie provision for more ships is made b, the government.
