SANTA FE WILL
CUT TIME FOR
TRIP TO WEST

TOPEKA, Kan, Nay 7. (U.P -
Officials of the Santa Fe railroad
are here today working on new
schedule which will cut five hours
from the running time of their
trains betwe,l Chicago and the Pa
cific coast.
The move is seen by railroad men
here as another step toward a rail
road passenger war for business be
tween Chicago. Kansas City and Los
Angeles, and San Francisco.
The Union Pacific has already an
nounccd Il similar cut in the running
time of its fast trains, and the Rock
Island has removed the extra fare
charge for its de luxe service.
The action of these three railroads
violates the agreement which has
existed for years which provided for
a 63 hour run between Chicago and
the coast, and a IA hour run from
Kansas City to Chicago.
The Chicago Milwaukee and st.
Paul and the Chicago and Alton,
competitors to the Union Pacific,
Rock Island and Santa Fe, for the
Kansas City-Chicago business, have
not indicated change from the II
hour schedule.

DELINQUENCY IN
CITY TAXES At
Low PERCENTAGE

A delinquency of less than six per
cent in the payment of city taxes
for the fiscal year l92829 was pre-
dicted today by City Clerk John
Neale.
At the present time approximately
141a per cent is delinquent but as
taxpayers have until July first be-
fore their property will be sold for
unpaid assessments, Neale believes
that more than half of the unpaid
accounts will be disposed of.
The total tax assessment for the
fiscal year is $18S,99736 of which
$161, ,S60.15 has been collected leav-
ing an unpaid balance of $27l3718.
The above total assessment is the
largest in the history of the city and
the total collected is also the biggest.
The delinquency is about on par
with former years, perhaps some
what smaller at this time.
According to Neale, the average
yearly delinquency is about S1a per
cent after July |.
The low percentage of delinquency
this year is attributed to the healthy
growing condition of the city and
the general prosperity of the citizen
ry. .....-
A recent resume of the tax condi
tion of the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict showed an average of six per
cent delinquency which goes to show
that the financial condition of this
section is above par both in city and
country.
While not official it is understood
that the average tax delinquency the
country over is more than 10 per
cent, in some sections more and in
very few places as low as here.

new Bill SEEKS
TO SPLIT STATE
WATER PROGRAM
Swing Offers Measure
Providing For Only Two
Projects.

SACRAMENTO, Calf, May T..
U.P)-While the fate of the Sl24,-
coo 900 coordinated water program
for California rested uncertainty in
the Legislature today, a new bill for
construction only of the Carquinez
salt water barrier and the Santa Ana
flood control projects was placed be
fore the senate.
Senators Ralph Swing, San Ber-
nardino, and William Sharkey, Mar
tinez, are co-authors of the new
measure.
Confusion and controversy be
tween different sections over details
of the entire water commission pro-
gram made prospects of the passage
of either the senate bill or the as
sembly bill on the subject problem
atical today. Senator II. I. Nelson,
one of the cO-authors of a companion
bill to Crittenden s measure in the
senate, stated that he would await
the outcome of Crittenden s move.
"sThere seems to be little contro-
versv on either for the salt water
barrier or the Santa Ana project as
they now exist in Nelson S and Crit
tendon s bill, - said Senator Swing.
''In view of the doubtful aspect
of the situation Senator Sharkey and
| decided to take these two projects
ana pace them IN separate blll IN
hope that we might get this much OF
the water commission program If all
the projects cannot be put across IN
the Legislature. -
The new measure is constitu-
tional amendment calling for bond
issue of $30,0O0,000 by the state to
finance the two projects. Local in
terests and the federal government
would finance $45,000,000 more need
ed to complete the two plans.
The entire water commission pro
gram, as represented in the Critten-
den and Nelson bills. calls for state
bond issue of 124,000,G00.

\ bill to regulate the motion pic
ture industries by prohibiting
many existing practices such as

bookings' of films, was introduced

any system for the arbitration of
disputes arising out of the lease for
license of such films which is i'm
posed on the exhibitor against his
will. -
Brookhart told the senate his
lill is designed to "preserve for
the American people the remaining
vcstige of competition in the mo-
tjon picture industry and to create

DENTISTS WORK
HIGHLY LAUDED
AT STATE MEET

LOS ANGELES, May 7. W.P) -
The layman's frequent portrayal
of dentist as man always rcudy
to inflict pain or rcmove some por-
tion of his patients mastlcatm1
equipment, was scored as highly il
accurate by DIR. c. o. Mclean, at
the annual meeting of the southern
California Dental Associatiou which
was on its second session here to-
day.
Practitioners of the present place
preventative dentistry forcm0s., he
said. Through research, it las been
learned that great percentage Of
human ailments result from mlrop-
er care of the oral cavity.
In line with preventative mca.
sures, DR.. Mclean pointed out tie
fact that improper diet is now re
cognized as an outstanding caase
for tooth decay and gum diseases
Dental associations throughout
the country, he said, arc carrying
on an educational campaign in co.
operation with school authorities,
With children in their first four
years of training as subjects, it was
found that sunshine, fresh fruits,
milk and vegetables, directly affect
ed by the sun S ray, are formativ"
factors in the promotion of sound
tooth structure.
Today's session was to be given
over to final balloting on nomina
tions for officers of -ne association,
a business meeting and clinics.
