The motion picture business now tops the list of California industries. according to a booklet just published by the Security Trust and Savings bank. With more than 15O million dol lars invested this industry Is nearly twice the size of it's nearest competi- tor oil, with S7 million dollars.
 Expenditures in California last year by the motion picture industry were more than 120 million dollars. and were confined almost exclusively to Los An geles and vicinity. San Francisco has attracted little attention in this line as yet. though one concern, the Pacific Studios Corporation, is now preparing to locate at San Mateo.

Vaudeville and pictures combine to offer a very tempting entertainment at the Ramona these days. The headline feature acts which comprise the vaude- vile end of the program are composed of singing and dancing specialties, comedians. funsters, and a wonderfully well drilled and handsomely costumed chorus. Every speciality a feature every feature calling forth several en- cores-thus the vaudeville program goes merrily on its way at the Ra- mona, wheer the patronage is voting it the equal of any entertainment ever offered the city. The feature picture is always carefully selected from the big releases of the day. so that the pro- gram always is one of rare merit. As usual. the Ramona will feature their regular daily matinee today.

PLAN TO RAISE TIE
 INTEREST RATE OV COAST ROAD BONDS

There is always d way around and some times it is considered the short est way home. The Phoenix chamber of commerce in it's advices from the coast has received late information about a proposed initiative to author iZe an increase in the interest rate on road bonds. This proposal is consid- cred on the coast a solution to great problem and one which has been pre- scented to every state and county hav- ing a need for bonds for roads. The initiative calls for measure which would as a state proposition relieve the counties of the obligation of in- terest payments
 In. California, of the $4o,ooo.0o0 of state highway bonds voted in last year, $34, ,000,000 remain unsold. These bonds under present conditions are not saleable at par because they bear only 4.5 per cent Interest and the whole highway program is hampered. It is now proposed by the initiative to sell bonds not in excess of 6 per cent. re- lieving the counties of the paying of interest, the law at present being that the counties pay the interest on the bonds sold by the highway commits sion for Improvements and mainten- ance of state roads in each of these counties. The commission has gone on record as saying this method imposes an undue Hardship upon some of the counties, characterized as an "ex- cessive burden"
 The initiative measure provides for a highway finance board comprising the governor, controller. treasurer. chairman of the board of control and chairman of the highway commission. Eighty thousand signatures are re- quired to get the measure before the voters next fall. The advices say that California will get these signatures and have them in official hands by July 14.
 As an illustration the bond charges for the southern California counties Is given as follows: Los Angeles, S96.- 454, Orange $20.413, San Diego S42.435, Imperial $19,929. Riverside $7995, San Bernardino $10SS6 Ventura $25,336 and Santa Barbara $67,4S4.
 The advices state that the Fl Centro to Yuma highway now building is di- rectly affected by the proposed meas ure It also includes the Needles to Barstow road and all other proposed or partly completed roads leading east toward Arizona. In this is included the Mecca to Blythe road The rais- ing of the rate and the shifting of the interest payment from the counties to the state, the advices state assures comprehensive financing without the burden of the weak or small county being too great to bear.

 CAUSES EXCITEMENT

Fire starting in an awning over the east window of the county recorders morning might have caused q great deal of damage but for the volunteer work of Deputy Al De Witt and Gus todian Sim Byers of the court house who put out the blaze with garden hose after the awning had been burned and the window frame charred. The fire department arrived to find the fire out.
 The blaze is thought to have been caused by a lighted cigar or cigarette thrown from a second story window in the court house Miss Edith Jacobs, county recorder, took no chances, how ever. and had her office force mar shalled and ready to carry out the rec ords should the fire appear dangerous. No records were damaged.
