GOVERNMENT TAKES STEPS To
WHIP MILK INDUSTRY IN LINE
First Use Of Teeth In Recovery Legislation
May Be Given Court Test To Decide Its
Validity.

after extended conferences with
President Roosevelt and Attorney
General Cummings.
Should the measure prove sue
cessful, it was believed it might be
used on other industries which
have been laggard in adopting codes
of fair practice.
The milk industry has been hard
to handle since the recovery pro-
gram was put into effect. In many
sections, particularly Chicago, it
has been difficult to get an agree
ment which would be accepted by
substantially all of the industry.
Those who refused to come in have
frequently been accused of being
"racketeers.
Under the licensing system-the
real teeth Of the recovery act-ev-
cry person or concern in a given in
dustry is required to be licensed be-
fore he may do business. If he fails
to abide by the agreements binding
his competitors, this licensed may
be refused or, if already obtained,
revoked. From then on he has no
legal right to do business. If he
continues to operate, he may be
fined $1,000 for each day of oper-
alton.
Members of the milk industry
will not have to apply for their Ii
cenSes. Instead, all professors and
all distributor Of milk, both whole
sale and retail, in a given area will
be licensed automatically as soon
as marketing agreement becomes
effective for that area. After that
they must abide by the terms of
that agreement whether or not they
had any part in drawing it up.
Formal hearings on proposed
marketing agreements have been
held for Chicago, Atlanta, Phila-
delphia, Detroit, Evansville, Ind,
Los Angeles, San Diego county,

COURT HA[TS
FORECLOSURE

SANTA ROSA, Calf, July IA.
(U.P)-The scheduled foreclosure sale
of the James l.. Case ranch was
halted today when Superior Judge
Hilliard ComStock issued a tempor-
ary restraining order returnable at
10 a. m. next Friday, July 81.
The order was requested by at
torneyS for case in a successful last
minute attempt to halt a sale that
had caused widespread feeling
of resentment to sweep Sonoma
county.
Farmers had planned to gather
at the court house today if other
efforts to stop the proceedings
failed There was some talk OF
violence, but most farmers in this
vicinity were in favor of peaceful
negotiations, rather than use of
force.
The Sebastopol National bank,
holder of a mortgage on Case s
ranch, announced foreclosure plans
two weeks ago Some 1000 farm
erS held a mass meeting at the
farm and protested against the con-
templated sale. Governor Rolph
and federal authorities were asked
to intervene.
The bank, meanwhile, insisted 1t
would go through with it's plans to
foreclose, claiming Cases interest
and principal payments had been
delinquent for two years.
Friends of the farmers urged an
extension, to permit him to market
his present crop and meet some of
the back payments.
Word of the restraining order
was carried to a crowd of 200 per-
sons which had gathered early at
the court house. The crowd cheer?
ed. then prepared to hold a meet
icg anyway.
The assembly was in the form
OF victory meeting, rather than
ore of protest, and was addressed
by w. Porter Dean, master of cer-
emonieS, j. Stitt Wilson, former So
cialist mayor of Berkeley, and lead
ers of the Farmers Protective
league.

HEAVY TAXES

NEW YORK, July ID. U.P)-
When you buy a gallon of gasoline
nowadays you are, in many states,
paying more in taxes than you arc
for the gasoline, according to an
interesting compilation of motoriSt
information just gathered by the
United Press for Cecil HaWley di-
rector of Texaco National Road
Reports.
Speed limits have shown an up

have the so-called universal speed
law" with no maximum speed linn
it, but requiring careful driving at
all times. Fourteen states have an
official speed limit of As miles an
hour. In some of these the law
does not prohibit a greater speed
fatty but says that a "greater
speed is prima facie evidence OF
careless driving" with burden OF
- proof to the contrary on the driv-
er.
One state, North Dakota, has a
speed limit of so miles an hour
nine have a 40 mile limit and 1--WE
a 35 mile limit. One state, Mas
sachusetts, puts the burden of proof
on a driver if he goes more than
80 miles an hour.
State gasoline taxes range from
2 cents to 7 cents per gallon. not
including the new federal gasoline
tax, nor local taxes imposed by
come counties or cities. Florida
and Tennessee have the highest
gasoline taxes, with 7 cents per gal
lon. Connecticut, Missouri a n
Rhode Island have the lowest, z
cents. In some communities OF GER
tain states where there exists city
or county tax on gasoline as well
as the state and federal tax, ano
in one instance a sales tax on tor

per gallon in and probably 7 cents
to II cents for the gasoline itself
depending upon freight rates. The
gasoline brings around cents pei

In Arkansas this year the COM
paratively high automobile regis

drastically with the avowed purpose
OF encouraging use of older auto
mobiles, increasing gasoline con-
sumption, and thereby helping out
the state exchequer through the

The approved federal and NUM-

Roosevelt previously had allotted
00000,000 to the agriculture de-
partment for distribution to the
states for highway construction,
and $238,000,000 to the navy de
partment for ship building.
The federal list contained only a
small number of specific projects,

WASHINGTON, July IA. = The
government pulled the trigger on
its most powerful weapon in the
recovery offensive today and made
ready to put the milk industry on

hoped to force recalcitrant mem

farmer and fair prices to the con-

1t was the first time the admin

SACRAMENTO. July 14.-Cali-
fornia's $120000,0O0 federal-state
unemployment relief program was
humming along in high gear today
as plans matured on different
fronts to bring immediate assistance
to the army of men and women out

The legislature, which meets
Monday, will be asked to pass laws
facilitating the drive.
The state advisory board on pub

islation authorizing Governor Rolph
| to organize an emergency public
works program to relieve unemploy-
| ment.
At the suggestion of the Roose-

held by the President. He would
not, however, take positive action
without consulting the President.
Purpose of the state I. r. A.

tending the industrial recovery law
provisions.
Robert l.. Patterson, secretary of
the state advisory board on public
works, anticipated CALIFORNIA; slice

California. This money will be
trickling out to various state prof.
ects within 60 days. On such fed
eral financed road jobs, the 30-hour
week and 50-cent hour wage will
prevail.
Tomorrow the state unemploy-
ment relief commission will con-
