Col. Budget to
Spell Economy
Says Governor

:the legislature after considerable
debate. Thirty six bills were intro
dTced in the senate.
Friday, January 9-Senate and
assembly stall for time to recess
over the week end. Nothing of i'm
portance accomplished in either
house.
Passes First Bill
The first bill to be passed by the
legislature this session was signed
by the governor yesterday. 1t was
assembly bill No. !, which provides
for payment Of the legislators at the
rate of $40 a day weekly until $1,000
of their salary has been paid. The
mileage allowance of the legislators
is cut from ten cents to five cents
under the bill
The question of rcapportionment
of the legislative districts may be
injected into next weeks session,
if the so called southern bloc per-
fccts its plans III time.
Senator II. Y. Lewis of Los An
geles has a proposal which would
take the reapportionment fight from
the legislature by establishing a
committee to reapportion the state
after each election. The committee
would be composed of the attorney
general of the state, the secretary
of state and one other elective Off
cial.
The reapportionment question is
expected to precipitate a big fight
when it makes its appearance on the
floor of either house. The legisla,
tors from the rural districts believe
that reapportionment, according TO
population, would throw the con
trol of both houses to the cities.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 10. - The
states biennial budget will be sent
to the Legislature the early part of
next week, probably Monday, it was
indicated at the governors s office
today.
. Governor Richardson has anRounc-
ed the budget will be. in keeping
with his economy program and,will
remain within the revenues of the
state. This will mean that the bud
get will have q total of not over
100000, 900 for the 1925-27 period.
There are numerous additions to
be made to the budget this year
The routine increase due to the IN
crease in the number of pupils in
the elementary and high schools will
prove Il big factor,
Then, too, the state has announc-
ed it will pay claims of more than
100000 growing out of losses sus-
tanned by farmers during the hoof
and mouth disease epidemic.
The state will have to pay $780,
600 to insurance companies ON re-
bates of taxes collected on refund
ed premiums to the insured. The
supreme court recently decided that
the insurance companies were not
compelled to pay Il tax on amounts
rebated on premiums.
The budget, and appointing of
committees in both houses, are the
only things scheduled to appear the
early part of the second week. Opin-
ions in both houses are that the
work of the first half of the ses-
sion will have been completed by
January ~ and recess will be taken
by that time.
The first week of the session was
a rather mild one, practically the
only fight of Importance being be
tween opponents and supporters of
the child labor amendment, which
was ratified Thursday.

week follows: 49,.

OUR DEBT TO SCIENTISTS

Among the great mass of ignorant and half-educated people it is very common to hear redicule directed against science and scientists, espec- ially of late, since agitation over the doctrine of the evolution of man has become live issue
 In all this history is only repeat ing itself. People have always fought against ideas which differed from their established opinions and beliefs. Yet all progress has come about thru the adoption of new ideas which were at first ridiculed.
 Before jumping at the conclusion that an idea is wrong simply because it is new, we should reflect upon what scientists have done for the world. The same class of tireless, patient and courageous investigators who have given us the security and comforts of modern civilization are practically unanimous in their belief in the doctrine of evolution.
 These scientists have explored the stars, unerringly predicting eclipses and demonstrating the motions of the earth and other heavenly bodies. They have harressed electricity to do the use of man. They have given us immunity from many of the dis eases which formerly scourged the world, thereby doubling the average span of human life. Almost daily they are making discoveries of in- estimable importance to the race.
 No subject has engaged their at tention with more earnestness than that of the origin of man. They have placed their evidence for evo- lution before the world and all they ask is a respectful and intelligent at-

OLD MEXICAN GAME

We should never jump at conclu- sions. No, never! Wren American Vice-Consul' Bretherton was report ed to have been shot and slightly wounded at Aguasoalientes, Mexico, many jingoes had visions of an in- ternational outrage and impending war. Later advices showed that MT. Brtherton was merely struck by a stray bullet when two Mexican con- gressmen attempted to settle a lit tie misunderstanding, in their own little way by pistol duel in the street.

EXPERIENCE OF A TRAMP

After a hike from Newark to Cincinnati and return, an evangelist by the name of Butz we read in an Eastern paper, formed a very poor opinion of the human race. He de- clared that little inclination was shown to give aid to an unfortunate stranger and summarized his expert ences thus:
 Only one automobile out of 30 gave him ride when asked to do so.
 He was held up once every 11S miles travelled but one-third of the hold-up men gave him money when he explained his condition.
 Preachers, church officials, bus mess and professional men and char itable agencies gave aid only once out of 20 appeals that he made.
 For every person who offered him coffee, six offered whiskey.
 Lying by the roadside pretending sickness or injury, only one car out of 50 stopped to offer aid. In all 2S2 cars passed without slowing down
 He made thetrip as a tramp for the purpose of getting such data as given above at first hand, hence ne claims to have kept an accurate ac- count of the incidents mentioned. He thinks Good Samaritans are scarce.
 Whether this is fair indication of the American attitude toward the casual wayfarer on foot is difficult to judge, but if his story is true he must have run against an unsympa. thetic crowd, or failed to impress them with his need of assistance. A tramp who isn't a tramp, showed that he can't be tramp.

Not since E. E. Harriman's

judged best in 100000 submitted in
the "Truth-About- California" con-
test, was exposed as an epistle of
fiction. has the Los Angeles Times
SO much as mentioned Minnesota.
except for routine news dispatches
and special reports of inclement
weather in the Middle West. After
having stated that nothing but
the truth would be acceptable to
the judges and that invidious COM
pariscns were merely hurtful to
their chance and hostile to the pur-
poses of the contest" the Times
has ignored the fact that the in
vidious comparison in its prize
winning letter was shown to be
bunk" 1t has suddenly forgot all
about Minnesota-and shifted it's
attention few points northwest
by west.
"The trouble with North Dako-
ta,' says the Times, referring to
the Nonpartisan league. was that
the things it advertised were
detriment Los Angeles has
something to advertise, something
that the world delights to see. and
it doesn't hide it's light under
bushel"
That is it. of course. North Da-
kota should adopt California
methods. When it has an earth
Quake (politicaU North Dakota
should not advertise the fact at all.
Do not mention the detriments.
Keep them a secret. Los Angeles
citizens have just voted in favor
of mayor who, the Times de-
clares. has been a serious handicap
upon the city in a very great num-
Der of ways. If North Dakota
follows the California method, that
should be big news in Fargo. The
Fargo Forum should have exclu-
sive dispatches from Los Angeles
telling of the dire misfortune
which has befallen the city. 1t
should have special correspondents

the way to do it, North Dakota.
