PROPOSITIONS on BALLOT

No. 1.-THE VETERANS WELFARE
BOND ACT OF 1929. This act provides
for . bond issue of S20,O00000 to be used
by the Veterans Welfare Board, IN as
sisting California war veterans to acquire
homes and farms.
If there is any objection to this meas
ure, none has been heard. 1t merely pro-
vides funds to continue work that has
been in force in California for the past
eight wears. and on which S30,0OO,0O0
has been expended, without cost to the
state. The money is not given to veter-
ans but is loaned to them and repaid with
interest
Over 10000 applications are now on
file for state aid The act is declared
the greatest remedial and beneficial leg
islative program ever attempted by any
state for its war veterans. Vote yes.
No. 2 = APPORTIONING STATE
TAXES To FIREMEN'S FUNDS. A
so-caled firemen'S pension fund meas
ure, this proposition has been declared
undesirable by many firemen throughout
the state. 1t would have the state pen
sion firemen. which is entirely munich
pal matter. Under the act as drawn. the
bic fire departments would get plenty
of additional funds for their already
large resources, while the little fellows
would get nothing, distribution Of the
fund being on a pro-rata basis of money
now available for pensions by the various
departments. The argument that 1t
would cost the people nothing IS unsound.
1t seeks to divert percentage OF state
taxes on premiums of fire insurance COM
panies. It is a certainty that money thus
diverted will be made up in some other
wav and the most likely one is some
other sort of tax which the people VIII
have to pay. Few are against pensions
for firemen but this act is not sound and
will not provide the firemen with the re-
lief they seek Vote no.
No. 3-COMPENSATION OF STATE
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. This senate
constitutional amendment gives to the
legislature the power to set salaries Tor
the governor and members Of his cabinet.
1t does not increase the governors COM
pensation. The salaries of the secretary
of state, attorney general, controller
treasurer suVeyor general and super!n-
tendent of public instruction are recelV.
ing salaries set in 1908 and the proposed
legislation gives the legislature power to
adjust the salaries to more modern con-
ditions Heretofore the salaries nave
been arbitrarily set in the constitution.
The legislature already has the power to
fix salaries of other state officials and it
is only logical and reasonable to include
those mentioned. Vote yes.
No = TAXATION ON STREET
RAILWAYS The purpose of this as
sembly constitutional amendment is to
reclassify and equalize the taxes paid by
street railways, interurban systems and
gasoline propelled railways These have
suffered heavily from the inroads of au

WATERMELON WILT
BEING OVERCOME
BY PLANT EXPERT

Watermelon wilt. caused by a sell
and seed borne fungus, is being ov-
ercome as a result of plant breeding
work by DR.. d. Il. Porter, olericul-
turist in the University of California
College of Agriculture. Resistant
strains that WELD well even when
ordinary varieties are destroyed,
have been developed that promise
to overcome the troubles caused by
wilt.
Or. Porter began this work while
with the Iowa State toll"g', and
coming to Berkeley was permitted
to bring seeds of varieties resistant
there. to California. ThCse lie
found to be resistant here "a well,
and he has been improving by breed
ing and selection in work at the
Branch of the College of AGricui-
turc and in fields near Lodi.
Four good strains of klecklav
Sweets have been developed, but his
work on the klondikc. the popular
variety in this state, has no gone
far enough to give definite results.
The breeding and selection is to be
continued, although under an agree
ment with the Iowa college no seeds
may be sold until that institution
is ready to place them on the mar
ket.
Watermelon wilt is most prevail
cnt in California in the San Joa-
ouin and Sacramento valleys, al
though there has been some trouble
from the disease in Imperial Valley.

UNCLE WIGGILY HELPS
TLOPPY

Not many years ago, in time
when apples wrec SO ripe that the
fell off trees all ready to eat, there
was farmer man who had a fine
orchard. In his orchard were many
apple trees, some with red fruit
some with yellow and some with
brown.
CHOW said the farmer man t,
himself one day as he walked about
his orchard and saw his many apples
4 must do something to keep the
boys, pigs and goats out of my
apple orchard. For they will be
sure to come and take away my
fruit unless l do something. -
So the farmer built high, tigt'
fence around his apple trees, think
ing in this way to keep out the boys
the pigs and the goats that might
take his fruit.

"For'', said the farmer man, Il
don't know which is worse, the
bows, the pigs or the goats. For the
matter Of that boy will eat al
most as many apples as pig and
boy can jump over fence, or
break through il almost as well as
a goat. But l think my apples are
safe. -
Now it happened that Curley and
Floppy Twistytail, the two pig boys,
lived not far from this farmer mans
apple orchard. And when the apples
were so ripe they fell ker plunk off
the trees. Curly and Floppy smelled
hem and Curly said:
"Lct's 60 get some apples. The
farmer man has so many he will
not mind if we pick up a few Off
the ground. "
"All rightn' grunted FIoppy. So
they waddled over to the orchard
one afternoon when they were out
# school. The last time they had
seen the orchard was when the
,pples on the tree were green
Then there was no fence built
around the orchard. But now, when
the pig boys saw the high boards

ONLY 4 FEW BAD

Women appear to be following the foot
steps of men in more ways than one,
these days. Not only do they participate
in practically all sports in which men
indulge, they also appear to be walking
in the more undesirable paths which er-
ratio man has outlined.
The woman bandit is with us and her
number appears to be increasing instead
of diminishing This week two women
held UP a motorist who had given them
lift in his car According to the drivers
story. one of the women covered her hand
with her hat. indicating that she held
gun. and told him what would happen If
he did not hand over all his money. He
gave them small sum Of money and
drove on until he could turn them over to
an officer.
In a middle west city earlier in the
week.a woman we'll in her sixties walked
into a bank and announced she would
drop the bottle which she held, blowing
the entire institution to smlthereens, un-
less money was given her.
She was overpowered and the bottle,
sunnosed to contain high explosive, was
found to be full of milk. This tact ana
not lessen her crime any.
These instances are only two of many.
Thov are far removed from the hard
working wife and mother, or the grand
mother who used to sit in the corner and
knit between readings Of her Bible-en-
tirely out of the picture at 60.
But they do not indicate that women
have gone to the bad, any more than the
greatly excessive number of crimes COM
mitted by males indicate that all men are
bad The big majority of us are still
good and the occasional lapses into crime
indicate that we had better remain that
way.
