PROPOSED LEGISLATION.

The so-called "full crew" bill. which
would require placing an additional
employe on every freight or mixed
train of more than 40 cars, was defeat
ed in the senate yesterday, % to 81
Senator Michael Boylan of Virginia,
one of the authors, led the fight for
the bills passage, declaring it to be
the one labor measure which should
pass and upon which the senators
would be tested for Their sympathies
toward the labor movems Mt.
1t was introduced by Represents
tive Myrtle Cain of Minneapolis Aftef
| it had been approved in letter from
the exalted cyclops of the Khan al
Atlanta, Miss Cain decided it was not
strong enough. The cyclops had said
that as long as the bill did not pre-
vent Klansmen from wearing masks
when on private property he had ne
objection. Miss Cain referred the
bill to the attorney general, and he
ruled that it would prevent wearing
the mask on private poperty when the
view was exposed to the public.
The Minnesota Senate committee on
motor vehicles introduced the COM
mittee bill providing for new sched'
ules on automobile taxes. Public hear
ings will be held by the committee
before it is called up for action. I'm.
portant changes and provisions of the
proposed law are: The minimum tas
of $12 car for car$ weighing less
than one ton is retained. The Sic
minimum for cars weighing more than
ton also is retained. The per cent
of tax on the cars valuation has been
raised from per cent to 25s per cent
The depreciation of the cars value
will be 10 per cent year after the
first year down to 80 per cent.
The state income tax amendment,
was reported out and the county az
SCISSOR bill sponsored by the interim
committee on taxation was killed by
the senate committee on taxes in it's
report. The income tax amendment,
which would go to the people at the
! next election, requires at least $1,OOe
of income to be exempt, and says that
the rate on the largest incomes shall
not be more than three times the rate
on the smallest. The committee sent
| the bill out to the senate, but with
out recommendation.
The house also suspended the rules
TO accept and pass a bill by r. A
Wilkinson, in the form of a joint reso-
luton directing the railroad and ware
house commission to investigate trade
practices of the grain exchanges. This
is a substitute for the bill requiring
publication of car numbers and prices
on all grain received, which the grain
men said was an impractical and ex.
pensive procedure. They deny the evils
of "scalping' charged by the federal
trade commission, ana invite the state
inquiry. The result is to &c reported
to the next legislature.

INDUSTRIAL SITE
CHANGES OWNERS,
PLAN WAREHOUSE.
Deal Just Made Proves
Activity In Local
Property

Another addition to the rapidly.
growing packing and shipping in.
dustry of Eel Centro was promised
this morning when announcement
was made that another parcel of
railroad trackage property had
changed hands, and that immediate
steps would be taken by the pur-
chaser toward the erection of a big
warehouse and packing shed on the
land transferred.
The grantor in the transaction is
Joseph f. Catanzaro, director Of S.
Catanzaro & Sons, Inc, large fruit
and vegetable concern Of Pitts
burgh, Los Angeles and Imperial
Valley. The property was purchased
by Frank Fukuda, an American
born japanese, well known among
the vegetable growers and shippers
Of the valley. Mr.. Fukuda plans
the construction of a packing and
shipping establishment that will ac-
commodate five or six cars at one
"spotting.'
The property purchased by Flu
kuda is part of a larger tract sold
by the Cudahy Packing Company
last month to the Catanzaro Corpo-
ration. 1t is located immediately
across the Holton interurban right
of way from the new preceding
plant of the Imperial Ice and De-
velopment Company, and is consid-
cred among the choicest industrial
property in Ell Centre. 1t has a
frontage of approximately 800 feet
on the interurban right of way on
the south, and is bordered on the
north by the Southern Pacific drill
track extending east from the I'M
perial Cotton and Oil Company s
plant.
New S. P. Spur Ordered
The Southern Pacific already has
received an order to construct a new
spur to serve the Fukuda property
on the north side. Later Fukuda
plans to construct another spur on
the south side of the property, which
will double the "spotting' capacity
of his plant, making it possible to
handle 10 to II cars at one time. He
will begin construction of the ware
house and packing shed as soon as
the new track is completed.
The new spur ordered through the
Fukuda property will be continued
through portion of the property
retained by the Catanzaro Corpora
tion, ending on the east line of
Third Street ,and providing load
ing capacity of six ears 1T one
"spotting'' on that property.
Announcement was made a few
days ago by the Catanzaro Corpora
tion that {, big warehouse and ship
ping plant would be constructed for
its use before the lettuce shipping
season opens next winter. Work on
this improvement will also be COM
menced Immediately on completion
of the spur facilities.
Other Deals Pending
In addition to the sale to Fukuda,
it was reported by John +. Greer,
local realty dealer representing the
Catanzaro interests, that several
other large vegetable shippers are
negotiating for portions of the
property recently purchased by his
clients, and that deals would be
closed with them as soon as defi-
mite arrangements can be made with
the Southern Pacific for spur track
service on the tract. The railroad
is making new survey that will
determine service facilities for the
property, and it is expected that
