Among outstanding achieve

with his programme of economy
with efficiency in State govern
ment and strict adherence to law
and order, are the constructive
improvement of humanitarian
institutions of the State, viz.

This is more than three times
as much as ever been allowed
for construction during the same
period in the hist t1ryof California

never permit expenditures that ex-
coed the income of the State from
the tax on the gross incomes of the
corporations.
Hearst controls San Francisco and
