STATE BUDGET
To BE PRUNED

SACRAMENTO Nov. 1. UP
Faced by a difference of $50,000,-
900 between state income and ex-

state director of finance, today
proposed a program of drastic

Only two months remain before
the new budget must be submitted
to the legislature, which Vande-
grift will ask to support the fol-
lowing plan:
l. Reduce items for general sup
port by $19,000,000.
2. Reduce capital outlay $9,000,-
900.
8. Obtain $1O,OOo,OOO by relieving
the states general fund of pay
ing off old highway bond and in
terest charges.
4. Reduce fixed charges or i'm
pose new taxes to raise S12,000,000.
The state legislature will be
asked to reduce the fixed charges
of the state, that is, such charges
as are set up by the constitution,
Vandegrift said.

Reiterating his pleas to put a

behalf of the candidacy of Gov.
Franklin d. Roosevelt He was
greeted by more than 5000 persons,
including labor leaders and Demo-
cratic figures.
Il have been told" said Senator
Johnson, that I have been read
out of the Republican party. That's
no news. l was read out of the
party in 1910 and since then I have
been playing a fairly conspicuous
part in state and national poll
tics. and maybe I'll continue to play
that part.
I'm times like these, 1t is no per-
iod in which to preach party regu-
larity: the only hope of prefer
ment of mediocrity and the last
refuge Of the moron politically.
1T is rather a time when the
welfare OF the United States and
patriotism shall be put above party
regularity.
The choice has TO be made be-
tween a sympathetic, progressive
minded man on one hand and a
gentleman who has demonstrated
during his three years in power
that ne believes in the divine right
Of big business to exploit our peo-
pie. No progressive who Is un-
afraid can hesitate In making his
choiee. I think I can say that the

IMPERIAL CHIEF
BEATEN BY BOYS

While a comparatively quiet Hal
loween left Ell Centre counting lit
tie damage to gates, drinking
fountains and other movable or
semi-movable property, tempest
uous night left visible signs at
Imperial, where George Wright,
police chief, was beaten severely
in his efforts to quell the antics
of a group of nearly grown boys.
Brawley and Calexico joined
with Ell Centre in the observance
of a quiet witches holiday, marked
mostly by the soaping CT windows
and individual parades in Hallow-
cen costumes by the young mem
bers of the younger set, but I'M
perial seemed to center most of
the practical joking.
While Ell Centro's youthful
pranksters contented themselves
with carting away a pair of drink
ing fountains from the Harding
school and generally tatntalizing
special officers by noise and harm
less threats, the evening at I'M
perial saw the school broken into,
as we'll as the chief of police beat
en-.
Wright was attempting to quiet
q group of boys, and trying to
take one to the police station, when
another of the group set upon him.
In the ensuing fight Wright suf-
fered severe bruises. The boys
escaped, but Wright recognized
them. and they probably will be
arrested.

FARM HOME HOLDS
APPEAL FOR IDLE

WASHINGTON, Nov. l. UP
The appeal of farm home for
distressed unemployed in the cities
was graphically shown today in an
agriculture department report es-
timating the rural population Of
the country is now near its peak
of % years ago.
At the end of this year approx
imately 32,O00,0OO Americans, but
1900 less than in 1910, will be
living in the country, the depart
ment said, noting a net increase of
5000 in farm population the
first three months of 1892.
Farm population gains since
1880, the department believed would
offset entirely the loss of $780,
900 from 1920 to 1890, when city
life lured rural jewellers away.

board appoints a superintendent
of schools for the county, who, how
ever. according to the charter, must
have school administration quail

tenn this qualification is not nee
essary. Purpose of this elective
school board and appointment of
a superintendent is to remove the
school as far as possible from po-
litical influence and to give de-
gree of independence in school adj
ministration.
Road districts are abolished in
the new charter and the county
road maintenance and construc-
ton program will be under the di-
rection of a road commissioner, who
must be a qualified engineer. The
program will be furnished bian-
F., nually but on non-election years.
offices Merged
Consolidation of many offices is
provided for in the charter. The
offices of treasurer, tax collector
and assessor, will be changed into
one department of finance. Feel
/ ing that the functions of the re-
corder's and clerks offices are
purely ministerial and can func-
ton under one head, these offices
| have been consolidated into one
| by the board of freeholders.
The offices of coroner and pub

dated into one, the district attor-
ney becoming attorney for the

All fees derived from the admin
istration of estates through the

All public welfare matters will
be administered under board OF
seven appointed by supervisors and
one member of whom must be a
supervisor. The public health
matters will be administered by a
separate board selected in the
same way with three of its mem
hers supervisors. Both boards will
serve without pay.
The charter will organize and
create a constabulary so that al
constables will be ex officio dep
uty sheriffs.
Provision is made for the per-

Signing of the proposed charter
by the board Of freeholders took
place this afternoon at headquar-
tiers in the court house and if the
time permitted, the charter was
to have been filed late this after
noon. AS tomorrow is the last
day for filing, the charter will be
filed by that time if not by this
afternoon.
Outline of the principal provis-
ions of the charter is given by j.
S. Cameron, secretary to the board
OF freeholders, who states that the
principle underlying the proposed
charter is based on change in
the philosophy of government, the
charter making the board of sup
ervisors an executive body instead
of legislative group as it is under
the present county government act.
The charter provides for seven
supervisorial districts with one
supervisor elected from each dis

body and by making it such a

RENO, New, Nov. l. - Stunned
by their inability to obtain money
and the sudden realization that
they cannot live very well with
out it, hundreds of Reno residents
strolled about the downtown streets
today wishing they had deposited
their funds in the one Reno bank
that was not closed.
A banking holiday" proclaimed
by Lieut.. Gov. Morley Griswold in
the absence of Gov. Fred Balzar
resulted in at least IL state bank
ing institutions, including two of
Reno's three banks, closing for a
two weeks period.
The one bank to remain open
was the First National. A crowd
of 1000 persons waited patiently
while Richard Kirman, president,
smiling walked up to the doors,
unlocked them and swung them
open at 10 a. m.
Bargain day, folks" he said.
Come and get it"
And the people came"
There was no diSOrderly con-
duct, no pushing or shouting. The
people who had their money in
the First National entered in lines
and drew out as much money as
| they thought they would need
during the next two weeks. They
feared the First National might
follow the example of the ewing
field banks" and close.
Plenty of Money
No attempt was made to dis
courage their Withdrawals. Each
slip was honored quickly, and
when the crowd saw how readily
the bank was meeting the mild
run, many began dropping out of
the ranks.
The First National. it was learned,
had $3,000,000 or more in currency
on hand to meet the demands of
its depositors. The huge sum had
heen shipped here from San Fran
cisco during the night.
1t was not the huge shipment
alone that gave the people conf
| dence, however. The First Ma
tional long has had a reputation
OF being very solid, with plenty OF
funds on hand to meet withdraw
al demands.
The First National was the bus
lest place in Reno. Gambling halls
and speakeasies were deserted, al
though their managers did their
best to encourage playing. Most
of those institutions" were well
supplied with money, but the pop
ulace had not legal tender to do
nate" to the games or bars.
Those persons who drew money
from the First National planned
to use it for groceries.
There was no hysteria on the
streets; no shouts of disapproval
were uttered in front of Wingfield
banks.
People gathered in small groups
end discussed ways and means of
acquiring "necessaries", such as
food and fuel
