With reasonably good weather on |

A bill will be introduced at the
next session OF the legislature to
organize the lawyers on the state
wide basis. A bill along similar
lines was introduced at the 1928
session of the legislature and
passed the house but met with OPP
position in the senate. This opposi-
ton has since been overcome. The
bill in its present form organizes all
the lawyers of the state, by pro-
viding that they shall all elect a
Board of Governors of the state
bar and that each member of the
bar shall pay an annual license fee
of-six dollars. The lawyers of each
judicial district would constitute
a branch of the state organization
and would be the local bar ossocia-
ton for that district. This local
association would get half of the
license fees paid by members of the
bar from that district. The local
association would have the duty OF
investigating complaints against
members of the bar from that dis

PRIDE OF COUNTRY.

Another Thanksgiving day has
passed. The usual perfunctory pro-
carnations were issued by public
officials and read by the people.
Thanksgiving should not be limited
to one day in this land of oppor-
tunity and progress.
Are we as proud of Our Country
and as grateful for the advantages
it gives us as we should be? 1t is
often stated that Californians are
greater boosters for their state and
its resources than are the citizens
of any other state in this Union.
Why localize our enthusiasm for
Our Country? No state could exist
without our United States. Why
should not every citizen of this
country be an active booster for a
nation which has gone farther than
any other in the world in giving
liberty, property rights, business OPP
portunities, home conveniences, edu-
cational advantages and amusements
to its people? Why should not our
schools and colleges emphasize to a

greater extent the advantages of g
citizen of this nation under our con-
stitutional form of government?
Until something is proposed which
would in small measure give US
protection and advantages equal to
those which we now receive, we
should express greater thanks for
what we have and be less ready to
listen to the thoughtless agitator or
professional politician who, failing
to appreciate the advantages which
surround him, seeks to foist imprac-
teal theories or visionary expert
ments upon people already blessed
with government better than any
other so far devised.
When you feel like kicking, look
around you. Practically every Ameri-
can citizen can own his own home il
he so desires. He can travel to. his
work either in an electric car OF
over system of highways such as
the Romans never dreamed of.
In his home gas and electricity dc
work equal to that done by score
of servants to former kings and
queens. The American telephone
system furnishes a communication
service in the humblest home beyond
the widest dreams of world famous
rulers of the past.

workmen are cared for and our lives

Aladdin and his lamp have been
made reality by the radio which
in conjunction with wire communi-
cation, has annihilated distance and
as the people of the world become
better acquainted through our mod

eliminate war. The homesteader in
the mountains can tune in his radio
set and listen to the music, lectures

world.
Our farmers are learning the adj
yantages of applying business
methods to agricultural pursuits!
Our industries are profting by max

Gasoline has made individual trans
