BALLOT PROPOSITIONS


THIS is the second installment of a
series Of articles discussing the prop
ositions to be submitted to the voters Of
California on November 8. The first
five propositions were reviewed in last
nights issue.
No. 6-War Veterans Tax Exemption,
a senate constitutional amendment The
law now provides for exemption up to
$1,000 for those who served in the World
war, provided they do not own proper
ty in excess of $4,000. The exemption
applies only to those who were dis
charged following the war 1t does not
apply to men who served during the
war and continued their service for
some time afterward. No. will extend
the same privilege to the small number
who obtained their discharge from the
service some time after the war. 1t will
not add any considerable burden to the
state and will equalize the veterans. A
vote of yes is recommended.
No. Legislative Expenses, a senate
constitutional amendment. This in
creases the daily expense allowance of
the legislature, from $500 for each house
to S400 for the senate and $3.50 for the
assembly. In special sessions the amount
is increased from 5000 for both houses
$3.50 each. 1t seems to be essential for
the legislature and no opposition has been
raised against it. A vote of Yes is
recommended.
No. S-Initiative and Referendum, a
senate constitutional amendment. This
requires that the proponents of any in
itiative or referendum petition, before
circulating same for signatures. must
submit draft thereof to the attorney
general to be supplied with a title and
summary of its provisions 1t is, de-
signed to prevent fraudulent attempts
to defeat an initiative or referendum
measure on technicality and merits a
vote of "Yes'.
No. 9-School Funds; Income, Sales
Tax, initiative constitutional amend
ment. No. is one of the most disputed
measures to be voted upon. 1t provides
for a state public school equalization
fund and for tax on incomes and sales.
1t is opposed by The Press. The meas
ure provides more taxation for the in
dividual whose income is now taxed by
the federal government, and who is also
paying a federal sales tax on many ar
ticles. 1t will not abolish county school
taxes but provides for the continuation
of the county and district school taxes
Designed to relieve the taxation burden
on common property it, is extremely
doubtful in the opinion of experts that
sufficient revenue can be obtained from
the income and sales tax, and the bur-
den eventually will fall on common
property, the very class the measure is
supposed to protect At a time when
the aim should be to decrease the taxa
tion burden this measure would increase
it. A vote of "No'' is recommended on
No. 8.
No. 1O-Authorizing City of Escondi-
do to Hold Stock in Mutual Water Com
pany an assembly constitutional amend
ment. The voter may justly ask him.
self why the people outside of Escondi-
do should be interested in this measure.

Improvement In
Poultry Industry
Reported Here

Poultry raising is one agricul-
tural industry which is showing an
improvement according to H. Lee
Landerman, assistant farm advis-
or. who stated today that the pre-
diction made last spring for future
poultry markets has come true.
Last spring poultry meetings
were held in the valley under the
auspices of the extension service,
University of California, and ex-
perts predicted that due to the
short hatch and resultant scarcity
of chickens, better market condi-
tions would prevail this spring.
Landerman pointed out that the
prophecy has more than come to
pass since eggs are retailing at "a
cents for extras and 90 cents for
mediums. A rise in the price OF
market birds has also occurred re-
Gently, the price having gone up
several cents per pound.
Last years hatch was only 20
per cent of capacity for the hatch
cries and in addition flocks were
severely culled as many farmers
had to sell birds to raise necessary
money. AS a result the number
of birds is far below normal this
year and fine outlook prevails
for both eggs and market birds.
outlook for turkeys is not so
bright however since there is big
crop in prospect and since buying
power has decreased rather than
increased. The market for turkeys
has held up remarkably well, how
ever, in view of the plentiful sup
ply. Landerman stated that in the
face of present conditions, indica-
tions are that prices for turkeys
may be somewhat lower this win
ter.
The heavy rains of week ago
did some damage to chickens, Lam
derman said. Many cases of poul-
try colds and roup appeared but
with warmer weather and proper
food, the birds are recovering.

under which California is laboring, and
a convincing argument in favor of new

roundabout step to get something that

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-Vice
Presidential Candidate Garner is
emerging as one Of the chief
money-getters of the Democratic
campaign.
The capitol heard today that
Garner raised about 100000 in a
recent trip to New York and had
been assured he could get another
100000 if the need arose.
Garner has been doing little
public speaking, preferring to hurl
his ammunition in the form of
statements TO the press from his
Washington office. The method is
in contrast to the long speaking
grinds undertaken by Vice Presi-
dent Curtis. Curtis is the older
man by nine years but seems to
like the active, hustling life of a
campaign orator. Garner thinks
he can get his name on the front
page oftener by issuing statements
here rather than in speaking in
Kankakee or Elkstown.

TAKE YOUR CHOICE

IKE the predictions of football coach
Il es on the eve of the "big game, are
the statements made by leaders in the
Republican and Democratic parties rela-
tive to the outcome of the November 8
election.
Whereas football coaches are inclined
to hedge a bit, basing their statements
on the supposition that the weather, the
star halfback and the line will be in
their favor, the political prognosticators
make no ifs or ands about it.
Says Robert Lucas, chairman of the
executive committee of the Republican
national committee: There are 270 cleo
toral votes, four more than a maj jority,
which can be counted as safe for Pres
ident Hoover.
James "A. Farley, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, is not
so definite as to figures, but is credit
ed with the statement that Roosevelt
can be elected if he doesn't get single
electoral vote in the area west of the
Mississippi.
The fellow who is trying to pick the
winner, either to vote for him or to place
little wager on him, is decidedly up
against it in view CT these predictions.
Choosing a winner in a political cam
paign is as difficult as picking the win
ner in an athletic event. Almost any
thing may happen. Those who decide
to go along about their daily affairs
and not spend any great amount of time
worrying over who is going to win, are
better off in the long run. They sleep
we'll O. nights, and even though they may
not experience the big thrill of victory
in November, neither do they suffer a
disappointment, which is likely to upset
them for the next four years. And if
any take seriously all the prediction
statements and predictions of the poll
ticians, they are likely to end up cutting
out paper dolls.

Central Union high school is
making a remarkable showing in
every way this year. Enrolment
has reached an even 100, a gain of

The wood is weak, light yellowish- brown

brown? These are points of impor-
tance and determine the excellence of q
berry pie. Such pie is either wholly
delicious or disappointing, according to
the skill with which 1t is made.
| The easiest way to control the juices
of the berry pie is to use quick cooking
tapioca in the berry filling. In my
kitchen we use the tapioca not only to
thicken the juice of fruit pies but also
because it helps to preserve the fresh
color Of the berries and makes the pie
more appetizing to the eye.
| The amount of thickening to be used
varies somewhat with the berries Sc
| lected. 1t must not be so much that 1t
! makes the filing dry in texture; not so
little that the juices become water.
For cherry pie use as general rule
one and one-half tableSpoonfuls of
quick-cooking tapioca for the filling of
each pie. while for very juicy berry,
such as the blueberry or loganberry pie,
the quantity of tapioca should be in
creased to two and one-half table
spoonfuls.
The rich, brown, fiaky top crust
which marks the best of pies is obtained
by brushing the top crust with milk
and beaten egg just before the pie Is
placed in the oven.
There are, of course. many berry pies.
but none finer, in my Judgment. than
the huckleberry or blueberry pie Yet
blueberries, because of their juicineSs,
are considered more difficult to handle
successfully than some of the other
| berries Here Is a recipe which Is SIM
| pie and easy to follow and certain to
give good results:
| Huckleberry or Blueberry Pie.-One
quart fresh huckleberrieS or blueberries,
three quarters cupful granulated sugar.
| half cupful brown sugar. dash of salt,
three tablespoonfuls water, two and a
half tablespoonfuls quick cooking tapico
and one recipe pie crust. -.-.,-. .
Combine berries, sugar, salt, water
and tapioca, and let stand about Is
minutes, or while pastry Is being made.
Line a 9-inch pie plate with one-half
| of pastry rolled to one-eighth inch
thickness, allowing 1t to extend half
inch beyond edge Of plate. Moisten
edge with cold water and fold inward,
even with rim of plate Moisten edge
again. Fill pie shell with berries Roll
other half of pastry to one-eighth inch
thickness. Fold half the pastry back
on other half With sharp knife make
several incisions to permit escape of
steam. Place upper crust on filled lower
one, opening out folded half after it is
placed on pie. Trim off surplus pastry.
| Press edges together with fork dipped
in flour Bake in hot oven (425 Ge-
| grees F. IS minutes, then decrease
heat to moderate $3.50 degrees F. and
bake 20 minutes longer, or until filling
Is cooked. ~''
Pineapple-H Honey Sherbet.-One and a
half cupfuls pineapple juice, half cup
full lemon juice, two-thirds cupful
honey, two and half cupfuls Of top
milk and two eggs. y
Mix fruit juices and honey. Pour
slowly over well beaten egg yolks, beat
ing all the time. Then gradually, while
beating, a6d the milk. Freeze to a soft
mush, open freezer, fold in the stiffly
beaten whites and refreeze until hard.
Yields one and one-half quarts.

not proper to do this. Is that true?"
Answer: From the standpoint of con-
vention. it would be improper to take an
unlimited man with you, and utterly
unheard of to ask your hostess to do
what you suggest. Even granting that
each community has its own local Gus
toms. it would certainly be a very
strange one should hostesses order
young men to call for young women
and see them home again-and posi-
bly, dance with them all evening
through, as well. For all know. this
may be customary somewhere, but I
don't know where that somewhere is.
Dear Mrs Post: What is your opin-
ion of the expression hoy friend" or
girl friend?
Answer: suppose should object to
both Of these, but really I don't object
to either of them. The word escort"
Is far outside the farthest horizon Of
society, but the hoy friend" is typi-
cal modern youth who conveniently
waits about for his girl friend who Is

its great, wide leathery leaves 1t pro-
