VETS AND DRYS
BOTH HAVE PET
PROPOSITIONS
(By Associated Press)

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 31.-Meas-.
ures that will bring several phases
of the prohibition question before the
California Legislature here are pend
ing in the senate and the assembly.
There was no test of strength on
the issue during the first part of the
session which ended recently and thus
far there has been no direct state
ment from Governor W. D. Stephens
as to whether or not he will lend his
influence to the movement for enact
ing state prohibition enforcement
law.
Senator NJ. B. Harris, Fresno, whose
original enforcement bill, passed at
the last session, was defeated on ref
erendum at the November election, in
troduced a new measure early this
month. The pending bill is very brief
and seeks to apply the agencies OF
the state to enforcing tn federal law
Assemblyman T. M. Wright, San
Jose, one of the dry leaders said the
fight for the new Harris bill will be
made law enforcement measure. He
considered one of the most telling ar
guments in favor of the measure the
contention that money received as
fines would divert to the local gov
ernment, instead of to the United
| States as at present.
At public meeting here this month
, Governor Stephens reiterated his be-
lief in prohibition but id not disclose
his attitude toward the Harris bill.
: When the legislative session opened,
the governors secretary, Martin Mad
sen, predicted that no wet or dry
measure gould go through. The gov
ernor did not mention the subject IN
his message to the Legislature.
Opposing the Harris bill are several
"wet' resolutions, pending in both
houses, notably those offered by Sen
lator J. j. Crowley, San FRANCISCO,
Senator V. J. Canepa, San Francisco
| and Assemblyman William B. Horn
blower, San Francisco. Based on tn
! defeat of the prohibition amendmen
!, by the people at the last general eiec
tion, one resolution would request con
gress to permit the Individual states
to fix the alcoholic content OF bever
ages. Another would memorializ'
congress to modify the Volstead ac
to allow the manufacture of ligh'
wines and beer.

INCOME TAXES
L. OF c.. WILL
SHOW YOU.

Colonel J. L. Flynn, United States
Internal Revenue collector for the
San Francisco district. is on the staff
of University of California Extension
as the instructor in course on In
come Tax whcih the Extension Divis-
ion gives by correspondence instruc-
ton from California Hall, Berkeley,
Colonel Flynn, as chief deputy of the
Internal Revenue collectors prepared
the extension lessons on Income Tax,
basing the instructions on his extens-
i've experience in charge of collections
for the California section.
Recently he was appointed collector
for the San Francisco district. He
is said to be the highest government
official on the staff of University EX-
tension.
The plan of the correspondence
course in Income Tax, as given by I'm
iversity Extension, is to offer prac-
tical help in making out income tax
statements and to furnish up to date
material for study for those who are
interested in taxation and economics
Bookkeepers and business men have
found that the course fits them to
make out returns comprehensively.
With the public preparing now te
make it's spring income tax returns
the course offered by Collector Flynn
has been in demand from all sections
Of California and adjacent states.
The selection of Colonel Flynn t.
prepare the Income Tax course is il
line with the policy of L. j. Richard
son, director of University Extension
to get experts in every line to serve
as University Extension instructors.

the present policy of the district no
matter who is elected.
The districts voting are the CaleXl-
co, Holtville and Imperial. The policy
of the district settles around the ALI
American canal and the Boulder stor-
age project. In any event there Will
be a majority of the board favoring
the Boulder canyon dam. The present
classification of candidates on this
question judging from their pu bile ut
terances is as follows: Calexico dis
trict, C. w. Brockman, doubtful or
negative; E. O. Thomas, favorable;
Allison Peck, doubtful; Holtville:
Mark Rose, favorable; Leroy Main,
favorable; Imperial: R. d. McPher-
rim, advocates storage first, then
canal; Clark Adair, for the best inter-
ests of the valley.
But one director leaves the board
for certain and he is j. S. Edmunds of
Calexico, who declined to run again.
In the Calexico district there has
been a warm campaign waged on be-
half of Mr.. Brockman and from the
energy displayed by his workers it
seems that he will be given a large
vote. In Eoltville the $4,000 award
to the Laguna Water Company has
been used-against Rose and it appears
that the fight there will be closer
than anticipated. In the Imperial dis
trict Mr.. McPherrin has been absent
in Mexico City on district business for
some time and it has naturally been
a quiet affair as he is standing purely
on his record.
Much interest is being taken in the
balloting and it is expected voting
will be heavy.

he added, "if something like that could

In the meantime. both sides are

California's 1920 pack of canned
fruits and vegetables was smaller than
that of 1919, according to a report
just made public by Preston McKen-

The fruit pack, however, was large,
