The Resolution Follows

The letter and resolution follow:
AT n conference of city off
eialS held recently at Sacramento,
resolutions were adopted favoring
the initiation of measure which
would give the cities share IN the
motor vehicle fund and the gaso-
line tax fund 1t is estimated that
these funds viii aggregate nineteen
million dollars annually. As the
law now stands they are divided
one.half to the state and one.half
TO the counties. An initiative mea-
sure is proposed which would di-
vide them one-half TO the state and
one-half to the counties and cities,
in proportion to their assessed Valu-
ations.
"Would you favor such Il mea.
sure and agree to procure your share
of the signatures necessary to get
it on the ballot?
"1n considering the matter we
respectfully call your attention to
the following facts:
81. Most of the gasoline tax is
paid by city tax payers for the use
of gasoline to propel them over the
streets of their own city.
'2. The state and county high
way systems have been made pos
sible by city tax payers, yet their
construction has usually been stop
ped at the city limits.
''3. The motor vehicle fund, gas
oline tax fund, and motor bus fund
are now distributed to the counties
and the state exclusively.
"a. The motor bus companies may
now use the streets of city with
out its consent and without being
subject to its regulations, and the
4 per cent tax which they pay for
this privilege goes entirely to the
counties and the state.
90. In many counties, besides u.s.
ing the county road tax, the super
visors also use the general fund for
road work, thus imposing q double
burden on the city tax payer.
"Under the circumstances, we
think the cities should share in q
division of the motor vehicle and
gasoline tax funds as proposed. If
you agree with us we ask you to
pass and return a certified copy of
the enclosed resolution
Will Get Signatures
The resolution which was passed
last night reads as follows:
Whereas it appears that at Il
conference of city officials held re-
Gently at Sacramento, resolutions
were adopted favoring the initia-
tion of a measure which would give
the cities one-quarter share of the
motor vehicle and gasoline tax
funds; and
"Whereas it appears that the pre-
sent division of these funds under
the law is unfair to the municipali-
ties, now therefor it is hereby
Resolved that we favor such Il
proposed initiative measure and
hereby agree to procure our quota
of the signatures necessary to get
il on the ballot.
The council meeting last night
was attended by all members. An
nouncement was made of the meet
ing on Monday night at which time
the retiring trustees will officially
turn over their offices TO the newly
elected trustees.

(Continued from page ~

history prepares itself in peoples
minds before it is displayed in
actual events, which events must
be anticipated if they are to be
controlled. :"
That the research and survey to
be made along the entire coast is
not TO result in an attempt TO
settle any of the problems at once,
was DR.. Parks opinion. He said
that particular sections along the
coast would be studied to see if
the Oriental trouble can be traced
to its sources. % We want to get
behind the exterior and the ex-
pressionless face of the Oriental and
see what he is thinking, what the
reason is for his immigration init o
the United States, and his general
attitude toward life,' he said.
DR.. Park has spent q good many
years in research work in which he
has been called to distant parts of
the world. lie told of spending
months in the east side tenement
districts, of New York City in q
personal investigation of Jewish
conditions there.
Was Newspaper Reporter
Prior to that time, he was news
paper reporter in other cities, work
ing on Investigations of dope rings
and other social problems. He is
now professor of Sociology at
University of Chicago and is the
author of several books on sociology
and racial problems.
The survey on the coast is to be
administered by a coast wide exc
eutive committee whose membership
includes Ray Lyman Wilbur, Alfred
l. CSberg, Theodore II. Boggs, Rob
ert d. Mckenzie, Rcmsen Dubois
Bird, Edward O. Sisson, Emery s.
Bogardus. The preliminary investi-
cation has been in progress since
September, 1923.
The project is jointly financed,
on the basis of $4,000 budget, of
which $4,000 has been appropriate
ed by the Institute and 100000 is
being raised by citizens on the
Pacific coast.
"The purpose of the survey y
according to DR.. Park, els to secure
and publish facts; facts represent
ing experiences with the Oriental
of the local communities and of in
dividual men and women. 1t seeks
to impose no program, advocates no

specific policy and champions no
special interest,",
Among the matters to be inquired
into will be questions relating to
diseases peculiar to Orientals in
this country, forms of crime to
which they are particularly addict
ed and how far the attitude of the
whites toward the Oriental is de-
termined by the forms of vice and
other forms of social disorganization
to which they are addicted.
