STATE AID TO p.
TEACHERS MAY
BE ABOLISHED

SACRAMENTO. Cal, March 8.
.EUP@The senate fact finding COM
mittee today recommended the
state discontinue its contribution
TO the teachers retirement fund.
The committee, in report, Sug-
gested that the teachers be asked
to support the fund entirely from
their own contributions.
During the current biennium, the
state has given 81, ,191 900 to the
fund. Teachers have contributed
81 ,039 ,845.
The committee appreciates the
value of providing retirement sal
aries for superannuated public en-
ployees, but the question arises on
the financial ability Of the state
to sustain such retirement syst
ems" the report stated.
These benefits are not general
ly available to citizens in private
life, and therefore it does not seem
fair to tax society for support OF
pensions available only to a GER
tain class of public employees"
Cur teachers are comparatively
well paid and enjoy security of po-
sition not enjoyed by many"
Other recommendations:
i. Economies in the governors
office toJaling S24,800 for the BIZ
ennium. They would include abol-
ishment of the job of assistant Sec
retary, 20 per cent reduction of the
governors service and expense"
tund and a $500 cut in the fund
for maintenance of the governors
mansion.
2. Curtailments in expense of the
state controllers office "as the re-
suit of the general retrenchment."
3. Generally suggestion of a small
Ter force in the state treasurer's Of
flee.
q. Consolidation Of the franchise
tax commission with the board OF
equalization. The committee is OF
the opinion there is no valid rea-
son for existence of this board as a
separate agency and it should be
consolidated . thus effecting
substantial savings"
5. Lands that have reverted to
the state because Of non-payment
Of taxes should really be under the
administration of the COUNTIES in
which they are located. 1T is
thought there would be a greater
incentive for the county to get this
property back on the taX rolls"

Sea trout and blues fishing did not
compare with the 1882 season. While
many schools of blues were reported

when still fishing. However. some really

were reported. A good many small
trout were landed, and at the close OF

T%HE 1898 fishing season was good.
i bad and Indifferent, depending

largely on what kind Of fish
anglers sought. At the start of the
season, high and muddy water in fresh
water streams interfered to q large de-
gree with those seeking native brook and
rainbow trout. This condition pre-
vailed in all neighboring States. When
the bass season opened anglers were
again Handicapped by muddy waters,
and it was not until toward the end OF
September that they were clear enough
to permit of successful fishing. At this
time, however, the bass, more or less
starved, eagerly took the minnows and
many other kinds of lures. The larg-
est plymouth bass landed weighed 71z
pounds, and the largest small-mouth
specimen scaled about 51s pounds.
In salt water. the croaker or hard
head furnished the bulk of the entire
fishing season. Larger catches Of these
fish were made than ever before and
they were hooked practically every
where. A catch OF 100 or more was a
