MORE CANDIDATES WANTED

If statement made by Governor
Rolph is true and it being a political
statement, it probably is true, for GER
tainly he is in the midst of politics and
should know, citizens of California are
in danger of being somewhat sighted in
the matter of gubernatorial candidates
for next year.
The governor states that, not includ-
ing himself, there are II candidates thus
far for the title he carries. Of course,
Sunny jim" will be a candidate to sue
coed himself, though he has decided it
is not yet time to announce that fact.
1t is hardly likely he will do so until at
least one more candidate shows up, for
Sunny Jim is not going into any poll
teal race with the danger of "13" hoo
doc hanging over him.
1t can therefore be taken for granted
that We will have at least IA men going
out for the title. This is a bad record.
What with the depression creating so
many joblesS men. and the books show
ing 4051a Democrats seeking every fed
eral office, to have only bakers dozen
of gubernatorial candidates even at this
early date is somewhat alarming, if not
downright shameful
We do not believe the politicians fully
realize what is offered them. The sue
cessful man will be governor of great
state (for California readers, the great
est state in the Union) he will be able
to fly all over the state in an airplane
furnished by a private concern purely
out of kindness; he will have the privi-
lege and pleasure of presiding at clam
bakes, judging beauty contests, having
his picture taken with movie stars, pre-
siding at dance hall marriages, leading
parades and miscellaneous assortment
Of other privileges.
Of course he will have to be at the state
capital a couple of days each month to
see that proper blotters are on the CUB
ernatorial desk and that the inkwells
are filled, but, TINS being at best vale
of tears, even a governors existence cam
not be all beer and skittles
A wonderful opportunity is being over
looked by the politicians. They should
start in right now to correct the error of
their ways. We should have at least a
couple of hundred candidates by spring
even if it becomes necessary to pillow un-
der every third one at that time
Politicians, CALIFORNIA; political repu-
taton is at stake. Rally round and save
it by sending in your name as a guber-
material candidate.

much the same as other corn, sweet

.CHISELERS HAVE NERVE

If the million dollar surplus from the
1882 Olympic Games goes anywhere but
back to the state for the specific purpose
of retiring the bond issue floated to put
on the games, grave injustice will be
done to the citizens and to the state of
California.
The Olympic Games, a splendid sue
cess from the athletic, social and sports
manship angles, was also a financial sue
cess, thanks to the high calibre of the
men Immediately in charge of them.
Prior to the games, by vote of the
people, the state authorized bond issue
of million dollars to finance them The
surplus, in round figures, is S1,20O,000.
The committee in charge of the games
intended to repay the bond issue and di
vide the 100000 between Los Angeles
city and county, both of which are en-
titled to compensation for incidental eX-
penses the games caused them.
To make certain any action they might
take would be legal, the committee insti-
tuted a friendly suit in the Los Angeles
superior court asking that it place its
stamp of approval on the committees in
tended division of the money.
Immediately a group of ''chiselers"
made their appearance. Chief, and most
obnoxious of the ''chiselers, is the Amer
lean Olympic association. This is sup
posed to be the governing body in this
country regarding Olympic teams. In
reality its job is confined solely to hav-
ing a team represent the United States
wherever the games may be held. 1t can
not be particularly proud of its record,
even in the 1923 Olympic Games, when
many athletes representing this country,
We're hard-pressed for funds, nor with
the way it fell down in trying to raise
funds for the 1882 games.
1t has as much right to claim any share
of the surplus as has the King of the Zu-
lus
State politicians form another group
of "chiselers." They wish the million
dollar surplus to go into the state gen.
eral fund, depleted through the waste
of the politicians, leaving the Olympic
Games bond issue out in the cold and
forcing the citizens to pay interest on it
over period of years.
1t is a matter of extreme regret that
the splendid record of the games, from
every conceivable angle, should be
married by such squabble, but it is
usually the way where money Is con-
cerned
The Olympic surplus has no rightful
destination other than to go back in the
state treasury to pay off that bond issue,
the balance to go to Los Angels and the
management of the stadium where the
games were held.
We feel positive that the courts of the
state can be depended upon to settle the
dispute fairly and according to the spirit
of the law. If this is done the bond issue
will be retired.

Rev. Pain entered the country
six months ago from Cuba on a

six months. Hence the Reverend

considerable that the gentleman Of

CITY COUNCIL
ORDERS SCRIP
ISSUED TODAY
DECISION MADE AT MEETING
LAST NIGHT: employees TO.
GET HALF MONTHS PAY IN
CERTIFICATES

City council at a meeting held
last night ordered the issuance of
city scrip starting today to the
amount of approximately $4,000
giving each city employee a half
months salary for the month of
April. An amount of $25 was also
ordered paid to each councilman
in the way of scrip.
Each employee is to be given one
dollars worth of stamps in con-
nection with the scrip, this being
done in order that the employee
may be able to furnish the mer-
chant with stamps in the event
that he has none at the time, the
merchant to pay for the stamps.
When the plan gets to working
the merchants will all have the
necessary stamps, which they will
purchase from the treasurer just
as Jn0y are nee0e0.
The council and other members
of the city's force have made q
partial canvass of the merchants
with the result that large num-
Der have agreed to enter into the
plan for handling the scrip. 9th
er business houses are being solic-
tied today.
The stamps are issued in Soc
and ST denominations, and one il
supposed TO be placed on the scrip
every time it changes hands. The
scrip is given the city employees,
and they IN turn spend it with the
merchants, who then pass it on to

chases or settling other indebted
