Being Sought for

With resolutions of Endorsement

mail service received from chambers
of commerce in 26 cities of the state,
the California Development associa-
tion is preparing Il petition to be
forwarded to the postmaster general
at Washington, ID. c., requesting adj
ditional terminals of the service on
the Pacific coast.
For the past five weeks the asso-
citation has been engaged III a state
wide movement to provide more lib
eral patronage of the present service
and to secure air mail extensions by
laterals from Salt Lake City to the
principal trade ccntcrs of the Pa
cific coast.
Many local campaigns have also
been launched in individual cities
throughout the state with the result
that the quantity of mail matter
leaving San Francisco every morn
ing has increased to Il point where
post office officials believe an extra
plane may be necessary IN the east
bound service.

STATES BUDGET
OUTLOOK GOOD

1t is evident that the state of
California will be able to finance
any normal budget from the present
sources Of income and at the present
rates, all OF which is due TO the
remarkable growth of the state
winch has resulted i'll an equally
remarkable growth of its income.
The income of the state was fully
$l0,OC0,GOO larger than was antici-
Pated at the last session of the leg
islature. The net totals show an in
crease of $l2,000,G00, but this is
accounted for by the fact that the
veterans welfare board returned to
the general fund the sum of 81 ,900,-
600 which had been borrowed from
the general fund Of previous BIZ
cnnium. 1t is this sum that makes
the item Of RECEIPTS in the recently
issued trial balance of the general
fund amount to $92 ,3S9, ,3j2.j0. De
ducting this return it gives the
sum of 500, ,439, $3.50 as the net in
come from the regular sources of
revenue to the general fund. This
is exactly $10,402, ,351.50 more than
the estimate III the budget that was
presented to the Legislature last
year and $8,S47 ,505.25 more than
the estimate that was set up in
the new general fund control ledger
at the beginning of the present BIZ
cnnum.
At the beginning of the present
year when charges of all kinds were
being made as to the condition of
the treasury, there were many who
honestly expected that there would
be a deficit and that the state might
have to meet its expenses for the
coming bicnnium with an advalorem
tax. But despite the fact that there
will be an increase of approXinately
$9,000,000 for the. biennium in the
fixed charges and recurrent appro-
priations the state should be able
to meet this out of its regular
growth of income if that growth is
maintained at the present rate. The
growth of fixed charges and re-
current appropriations will absorb
another growth of $lO,000,000 in
income
