Conclusion.

Finally, it has been the glory of our state In the past that we have ocen anxious to perfect existing statutes only in so far as we have been sure the new amendment would facilitate the swift and im- partial administration of justice. We have not been anxious to curtail personal liberty except when and where it endangered the safety of the public. We have never believed in discouraging self-reliance in the individual citizen. Let us now fol- low in the footsteps of our fathers and apply these principles to all pro- posed legislation. Let us courage ously decline to introduce or con- sider bills and resolutions of a pub lie nature which are not demanded by the public. Let us make no changes except as they are de- manded by public opinion with the voice of majority of the people. We have taken pride in the fore sight and prudence of our ancestors who devised our earliest laws and constitutions. Theorists have de- cried various parts of our constitu- ton. Missionaries and doctrinaires have proposed socialistic, communis-

Most of the money raised for local purposes Is obtained by taxes on real estate. The towns have few other means Of financing themselves. The state has many sources from which 1t can secure revenue. Nevertheless our desires for large state expenditures must be limited by realization of the fact that we have not yet paid the burden of the great war, nor can we hope to escape from that burden during the next few years.

At Trial
STAND CRU Ell LING
Prosecution May Close
This Afternoon, Is
IntimatiOn

E. o. Heinrich, San Francisco,
and j. c. Cassels, Los Angeles,
handwriting experts, gave damag-
ing testimony this morning and
yesterday afternoon against Super
visor J. Roy Adams, charged with
forging county warrants to the ex-
tent of approximately $4,000.
Caesels was on the stand this
morning, concluding his testimony
just before time for the noon re-
cess. Largely it corroborated the
testimony which Heinrich gave yes
terday afternoon.
For three hours yesterday the
San Francisco expert was on the
stand, after having taken upwards
of two hours in preliminary testi-
mony and III arranging the numer-
Gus charts showing enlarged speci-
mems of the handwriting on the
warrants in question.
Stroke by Stroke
Heinrich s testimony was highly
technical, though he simplified it
as much as possible so that it was
comparatively easy for the court,
jury, attorneys and spectators to
follow his reasonings. He took each
stroke of the signatures George
Main, Charles Roberts, and Frank
Shubcrt, the three names which
the prosecution alleges were used by
Adams in drawing warrants on the
county treasurer to PAY three men
who never existed for road work.
As Il result of his studies of the
handwriting, Heinrich expressed the
opinion that the three signatures ON
the various warrants had been made
by Adams. He said the signature
Of George Main had been written
with a pen and held between the
first and second fingers of the
right hand. The Roberts signature
was made with the right hand, the
pen being held between the thumb
and the forefinger. The left hand
was used in making the signatures
of Frank Shubert, the expert de-
clarcd.
Severely Grilled
Heinrich and his testimony was
subjected to severe cross -examina-
ton by Byron G. Hanna, chief
counsel for Adams, who endeavorcd
to break down or weaken the testi-
mony given BY the witness, but
without success. Heinrich was
questioned minutely about his life s
