Chamber of Commerce
Finds Best Conditions
Since 1929.
Special Dispatch 10 The Star.

LOS ANGELES, February Are
cent data on employment in California
industries, trade activities and public
utility enterprises have shown a
greater indication Of improved condi-
tions than in any period since 1929.
according to survey Of current en-
ployment trends made by the State
Chamber Of Commerce. Wage earners
employed in manufacturing industries
during 1888 averaged approximately
10 per cent above the corresponding
figures for 1881, and employment in
wholesale and retail trade, while
showing only slight improvement for
the year as whole, increased rapidly
during the later months OF last year.
Definite progress is being made to-
ward the rejuvenation Of Pacific Coast
shipbuilding. With George A. Armes.

has resulted in recent months in full
$73,000,000 worth of public work beir
let to contractors in Los Angel

providing about $4,000 jobs for II
unemployed residents of this area.
Approximately 100000 persons
California will be aided by the truck

dent Roosevelt, according to Phil
Jacobson, attorney for a number OF

February Estimates.
Estimates Of probable production In
the automobile industry during the
month of February are constantly
being revised upward, until it is safe
to say that between 275,000 and SOO,-
900 units will be turned out. This
means that Detroit manufacturers
are to have one of their best months
since 1881.
The brisk rise in employment in
Detroit-where the Board of Com
merce index stands at 83.2 compared
to 28.8 about this time last year-in-
dicates the feverish manner in which
automobile manufacturers are tacking
the job of catching up on orders. For
comparative purposes, the employment
average of 1923-1925 is considered the
index figure of 100. The 1929 high
was 1878.
Automobile companies have more
untitled orders piled up now than they
have had since 1929" says John L.
Lovett, manager Of the Michigan Man
ufacturers' Association. It think there
is little doubt that 1884 will be the
best year since 1929"
Berlin Auto Show.
Germany also Is motor minded and
is planning its show.
Technical innovations will be the
features of the 1884 models which the
German automobile industry will show
at this years International Automo-
bile and Motorcycle Exposition, to be
held March to 18 in the Kaiserdam
Exhibition Halls in Berlin. Improved
knee-action axles on all four wheels,
with better individual springs and
shock absorbers, and more efficient
front-drive systems will be conspicuous
among the accomplishments achieved
for 1884. Judging from the eagerness
with which all manufacturers are pre-
pairing to show their new improve
ments, the exposition promises to be
one of the most interesting held in a
number Of years.

NEW MEXICO GOVERNOR
UNDECIDED ON SESSION
Nav Not Sign Call for Special
Meeting Despite Advisory

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SANTE FEE, N. Mex, February 25.-
While all but one Of his Legislative
Advisory Committee of 20 have gone
on record for special session, Gov.
A. w. Hockenhull says this does not
mean necessarily that he will sign
the call
The Governor is having a study OF
the tax situation made to ascertain
whether enough money can be ex-
pected to keep the schools running.
He has said the chief cause to in
fluence him to call q special session
would be to keep them open. In the
meantime State Treasurer Clinton p.
Anderson has said he will stop pay
ment Of all appropriations March l
unless there Is an assurance Of q
special session; but he is to be sue
ceeded by former Representative John
Morrow on that date, having resigned.
His committee Of 20 are unani-
mously in favor Of a sales tax Of some
form, says the Governor, having OBJ

liquor laws changed or new law
passed.
Property tax collections are lower
than they were last year.
A new assessment system is being
put into force this year. Property
owners no longer have to make re-
turns; the county assessor has to go
from house to house, putting values
on all the property he finds, real or
personal. The assessment so made
this year will stand for the next
three.
Tax authorities are hopeful that
this will offset at least part of the
loss caused by the new constitutional
amendment restricting the property
tax to 20 mills for all purposes, State,
county, city and schools. They say,
while the assessment is not finished

WENTz DECLINES
RACE IN OKLAHOMA
Republicans Fear Defeat
After Strongest Potential
Candidate WithdraWs.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, February
24.-All the starch has been AIKEN
out of the Republican shirt in Okla
homa by the definite decision Of Lew
Wentz not accept the G. o. P. NOM
nation.
The former chairman of the State
Highway Commission who was finally
eliminated from Office after q two
year fight with Gov. Murray, Is
much stronger than his party. He
would poll the largest independent
vote any Republican could account for.
Thousands of Democrats also would
leave the party to put Wentz In office
with the hope that the arrogant Dem
ocratic regime, which has been in con-
troll here since Statehood, might be
knocked loose.
Ostensibly Mr. Wentz is not going
to accept the nomination because his
health will not permit a campaign.
That is his published statement, but
many do not believe it. Political
students and friends of the Ponca City
man think that President Roosevelt's s
amazing popularity with the rank and
file was of first Importance in the
decision. There is feeling that Okla
homa Democrats are going to stick
with the ticket this Fall in order to
re-elect the whole slate Of Democratic
Congressman as sign of their appre-
citation for the work of the skipper Of
the new deal.
Convention Recalled.
When you recall that Oklahoma was
chasing q Murray will-o'-the-wisp
when the band wagon went past in
the Chicago convention, you will un-
derstand the feelings of the feed box
boys.
OF secondary Importance in the
Wentz decision Is his dislike Of a
campaign Of character assassination,
such as is historic in Oklahoma
against Republican candidates.
Wentz has made money in oil and
really ought to stand by and have fun
with some of it, rather than try to
reform a State Many people have
wondered why he has desire to be
Governor, and most Of his close friends
have urged him to forget public serv-
ice and get a yacht.
Pine Is Successor.
The conservative mantle falls upon
W. B. Pine Of Okmulgee. who defeated
the Democratic nominee for the Sen
ate when the discredited Governor,
J c. Walton. won the Democratic
nomination. Pine has no chance OF
a victory unless the Roosevelt pro-
gram is a complete flop before No
vember.
There is little new among the many
Democratic candidates. II the first
primary we're to be held tomorrow the
two nominees would come from these
three names: E. w. Marland, Tom
Anglin, j. G. Walton.
This is the period of much talk and
little action. The time for combina-
tions. Withdrawals and shakedowns Is
iust around the corner.
