UNFAIR TO RURAL COMMUNITIES

Taxation was the allabsorbng subject before the
last California state legislature. The agricultural
legislative committee the California Farm Bureau
Federation, the California State Grange and the Cali
fornia Farmers Union, in open letter TO the mem
bers of the legislature, said:
The greatest problem before the people of Cali
fornia we'll the nation, is the equitable dstrbu-
tion of the tax burden. The united farm organlza-
tions of California calling the attention OF the pa
trotic and farseeng citizens of this state to the
cessity Of Immediately correcting abuses IN our system
of taxation"
The communication stated that while arguing
neither for against public ownership as matter
of principle the fact remained that because of tax
empton of such properties under the present law the
rural people of California furnished more than their
just share of the taxes to conduct state government
1t pointed out that if publicly owned utilities
in the had paid their fair share of taxes in 1924
several million dollars would have been added to the
states treasury. Under the present law, munclpal-
ity or other political subdivision of the state where the
population is congested own all Its utility enter
prseS free from taxation and enjoy the service at un
other communities who cannot benefit by such service
rates. to pay the burdens which the favored few
unjustly escape.
The farm organizations asked correction of pre-
sent legislation permitting such conditions to exist,
and for more fair and equitable basis of state
taxation. Agriculture in California produces over
5000 000C COO worth of original wealth annually, out
ranking other industries. Farmers in the nation give up
1876 per cent of their gross earnings annually to tax
collectors. In California, it stated on account OF
method of collecting state taxes the farmers condl
ton even worse.
For these reasons the farm organizations went
record demanding legislation correcting the present
tax INEQUALITIES as essential to the continued welfare
and prosperity of California as al whole.

WHY NO FIRE PROJECTIONS

In the days of hook ana ladder companies and
hand buckets to put out fires little thought was given
to fire prevention. How to put the fire out seemed
be the main consideration. The state of mind
listed in regard to contagious Diseases such as the
plague yellow fever, typhoid, dptheria, the hook
thought seemed be the possibility of curing persons
after the disease gained foothod instead of trying to
prevent the disease from starting. Today the di
seases mentioned have been practically eliminated by
scientific preventative and through educa-
tional work advising the public how to control them
SO far as fires are concerned, however, our ma
tlon has staggered along bndly under its enormous
annual fire loss with resulting death toll seemingly as
indifferent of fire prevention as ii was when
the first crude fire fighting apparatus in We
simply have not awakened to the fact that death and
property loss from fire be eliminated Just death
and property loss resulting from contagious diseases
have been eliminated by scientific study and treatment
The National Board Of Fire Underwriters and the
pioneering in the campaign of public education on fire
prevention. The seeds they have planted are taking
root. Manufacturing concerns the wisdom of la
boraory tests of their products which tend safe
guard the public in their Retail establishments
the value of handling scientifically tested products
and the buying public is awakening to the advantage
OF buying products which have been tested TO their
fire resisting or fire preventing qualities.
Some day the nation is going to awaken to the
1act that 1t is Just as crmnay negligent for any per-
son to maintain fire hazard which can be eliminated
as It IS for person with contagious disease expose
others TO the danger of the same malady.
1t is essential that all cooperation possible should
be given to the agencies which spreading the gospel
of fire prevention.
