LEGISLATIVE ACT
ORDERED SURVEY
OF COUNTY RULE
ny ]. S. CAMERoN

Under an act created by the leg
islatufe of the state of California
ia 1929. a commission was created
10 investigate and report the sub
iect Of Home Rule for Counties.
A commission Of nine members was
appointed by the governor which
was directed to examine into any
and all matters pertaining TO the
subject of Home Rule" and of
local economy il county govern
ment. including a study Of county
government ana county charters in
this and other states. The commits
sion was directed to report its
findings and conclusion and any
recommendation that they might
have as to changes in the system
existing n this state which might
be deemed Necessary or advisable IN
order to secure greater degree OF
home rule for counties.
The commission was given a free
hand in the matter of calling upon
county officers as TO matters ap-
pertaining to their respective off
ices. and extended to the commits
SIGN he right to examine the rec
ords and papers Of any official
The commission was duly appoint
ed. and it might be noted that JON
athan s. Dodge, of Pasadena, for
ner superintendent of banks. was
made chairman of the commission.
The commission was directed TO re-
port to the governor for transmits
sion to the legislature, at its next
session, its findings and eonclus-
ions. and any recommendations
that they might have as to changes
in the system existing in this state.
The conclusions were briefly
these: That the uniformity IN
pattern now required by the con-
stitution for county government Is
too rigid: that a set-up. for the
county of several hundred thousand
may not be suitable for a popula-
ton of $4,000 or under; that oil
vision into a reasonable number OF
classes for such purposes, somewhat
upon the analogy of the Munich
pal Corporation Act Of 1888, might
afford a reasonable degree OF elas-
ITCHY.
It was thought of the commits
sion that the present system of fix
ing salaries and number OF depu-
ties every two years, IS too rigid
and inelastic; and that the board
of supervisors, as an executive body
should be conversant with local
conditions and needs and a more
appropriate body to determine the
requirements of the county's needs
than the legislative body. The
general trend of the recommenda-
ton was toward managerial form
of government, and in any event,
such government as would definite
" fix responsibilities for the ex-
penditure of public funds.

Charter Election
May Be Deferred
Until Late Fall

That investigations now under
way in the process Of drawing UP
a proposed county charter may ex-
tend over the time first allotted
making it necessary to call spe-
cial election to submit the charter
to the voters, was the statement
Yesterday afternoon OF J. S. Gamer
on. secretary Of the board of free
holders.
It was first planned to submit
the charter at the general election
following the primaries, but the
tremendous amount of investiga-
ton entailed may make it necessary
to call special election.
Work On the proposed charter Is
being pushed through as rapidly
as possible. Offices have been es-
tablished in the farm bureau room
in the basement of the county court
house. The board of IS freeholders
meets there once q week to discuss
problems concerning their task. The
next meeting will be held next
Wednesday.
One OF the immediate obstacles
in the path of the freeholders is
to be found in a $500 budget voted
at a recent meeting. Since it was
discovered the supervisors could not
appropriate money for the use of
the freeholders, it was decided that
the funds would be raised by public
subscription.
The public has shown a deep in
terest in problems of the freehold
ers. Camerson said yesterday after
noon. indicating that the needed
funds will be raised without trouble.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. - The
editor in chief of the Republican
political statement department APP
pears to be Secretary of Treasury
Ogden Mills.
An endless stream of campaign
statements is rolling out of the mi
meographs in the Republican ma
tional committee headquarters in
the Barr building. James West,
national committee publicity direc-
tor, former newspaper correspon-
dent, reads copy and improves the
diction. The grammar of even a
statesman can be improved some
times by a newspaperman.
But before West lays his expert
eyes on the copy, it probably has
been first scrutinized by Secretaty
Mills for checking as to policy and
strategy. There is even some sus-
picion that the genial Mills does a
little "ghosting" for his Republican
colleagues.
Leaving the White House a few
days ago, Secretary Mills was asked
by newspaper correspondents what
he thought of Governor RooSevelt's
latest debt proposal.
Its just like his tree planting
proposition to relieve unemploy-
ment," Mills said, trying out a wise
crack on the reporters.
1t brought laugh. A few hours
later the same jibe appeared in a
statement, issued at the Republican

SYNOPSIS: Gar, I'm terribly scared, coming here," Kitty Frew tells her new young husband when he brings her to his pre- tentious home after brief but dazzling courtship and honey mocn. Kitty always has lived in small town. She has not real ized the extent of Cars back ground and the social position of his family until she meets his friend, Marge Crosby, on the train and finally sees his home. Marge Crosby is self possessed and in- solent. She makes Kitty feel an ignorant outsider while she c0v- crtly reprOaches Gar for his mar riage and absOrbs him with stories about the crowd to which they belong. Cars mother waits with his sister, Carol, to receive the young couple. Carol knows she is furious that Gar should marry a girl with no social stand ing, but cannot decide what her tactics will be. Mrs. Frew greets Gar warmly, and turns to Kitty, saying, "This is-your wife?"

WELL VERIFIED PRAISE.

The Alaska Road Commission by more than a quarter of century of disnerested efficient and intelligent service to the people of Alaska earned all
 that was said for it at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon Conceived and organized by the late Gen
 Richardson who served its President for a dozen years the Alaska Road Commission has rendered more genuine and effective service for Alaska than any other organization in the history of the Terri tory The name of Gen. Richardson has been in deibly written into Alaska history in large letters through the Alaska Road Commission, and the good work started by that stanch patriot and great soul is being splendidly carried on by the very worthy men who took up the torch that he laid aside when he obeved the call to serve his flag foreign soil.

 Gar, do you mind missing that dinner tonight?"
 His mother had sent Cars re- grets because of the "circumstan- ces.n That meant because Gar had brought her home.

Making Ones Own Prosperity.
(SeWard CfateWaY.l }

While it is quite natural that everyone is desirous of saving in any possible it is questionable if this rule aptly applies to The Alaska Railroad in relation to freight charges. There is such thing as being penny wise and pound poor.
 The railroad is the gauge of immediate pros perity between Seward and Fairbanks. It is the largest disbursement of wages. Any curtailment of this item through dverting tonnage from the rail- road to the Richardson wagon road means curtail- ment in crews and other employees.
 And it must be remembered that the building and upkeep of the Richardson wagon road comes out of the public purse. It builded for the puT pose of opening large stretch of rich country between Valdez and Fairbanks, and to afford tour sts the experience of travelling overland along route made famous in pioneer days It is hardly to be expected that the Government will be willing to exert itself in maintaining this at its highest standard if 1t viii service rival to it's heaviest investment in the Territory, namely the railroad
 Every legitimate effort has been made to have the railroad rates reduced The question is not dead by any means, and should be kept alive in Wash allowing the other fellow to know how bad he has hurt you It is time to begin asserting this pride, and cooperating with Colonel Ohson in getting the railroad out of the debit and into the credit column There are other things ncubating which will over shadow the question of difference between the rates and the revenue to be drawn Among the present important items, is that of creating demand for larger payrolls on the railroad and guarantee not Ionly permanent jobs for the workers but a larger revenue dsbursed to business
