Washington and London naval
treaties to mere scraps of paper.
The Japanese ambassador here,
Horosi Saito, was instructed by the
Toxic foreign office to call upon
Secretary of State Hull at noon to
deliver Japan's official notice that
the Washington treaty for limita-
ton of naval armaments must end
on December 81, 1896.
The London naval treaty, which
was corollary to the Washington
treaty, terminates automatically
with the ending of the Washing
ton pact

alton to Hull which would start
the Washington treaty down the
chute leading to the waste basket.
This note said that Japan desired
the Washington treaty to be ter
minated at the expiration of the
period of two years notice provid-
ed in the treaty.
BY doing so Japan was deemed
to have returned all the political
questions and naval rivalry in the
Pacific to the status they occupied
before the statesmen of five ma
tions brought the Washington
treaties into being in 1922.

SACRAMENTO. Calf, Dec. 90
"A legislative fight of major pro-
portions Is likely to center on the
subject of utility taxation when
CALIFORNIA; lawmakers convene
their 5lst session next month.
Already. distinct arguments have
been advanced favoring and op-
posing the return of utility prop
erty to county tax rolls.
Under terms of the Riley-Stewart
tax revision plan, adopted by vote
of the people in June, 1888, utility
property will revert to county rolls
next year and the state will lose
nearly S60,000,000 in revenue. Coun-
ties will gain about $7O.0oo00o be-
cause utilities taxed on the basis
of property valuation will pay more
than they did to the state through
a tax on gross receipts.
Loss of the revenue from utili-
ties accounts for a large part of
the s13ooo0,000 in new income
which the state must obtain if it
is to balance its 1935-37 budget and
meet the present deficit of s31 ,000,-
900.
A vote of the electorate would be
to delay reversion of util-
ity properties to the counties. And
on that subject the legislature is
expected to wage lengthy battle.
If the state loses utility taxes, an
ad yalorem tax is almost inevitable
to make up that part of the de-
creased revenue. An ad valorem
tax would return an estimated $685.
100000 in two years.
Favored BY Companies
The Merriam administration is
flatly opposed to such a property
tax and was studying the possibil-
ity of special election to retain
utility taxes for the state and pos
sibly escape the ad valorem tax
threat. Finance Director A. E.
Stockburger said this was only one
of many proposals being consid-
cred.
Utilities themselves favor the
present system, because it saves
them from s10,000,0O0 to s12000,00
which they would pay extra to the
Counties wherein extensive util-
lty holdings are located would ben
eft heavily If the property revert
ed to the local tax rolls. They may
be expected, therefore, to oppose
state retention of utility taxes,
Small, isolated counties, on the
other hand, would suffer. They
would not receive utility taxes, and
their residents would be called
upon to pay an ad valorem tax if
it were levied.
Controller Ray L. Riley believes
the two would balance each other,
so far as the ordinary property
owner is concerned. Utility taxes
would take heavy load off other
property owners in the counties,
and the saving there would go into
the ad valorem tax. In the end,
he figures, no one but the utilities
would pay any more than they
have during the past year.
This was figured on the idea
that where county income was in
creased by utility taxes, the general
tax rate could be lowered to aid
the property owner.
Ad yalorem Opposed
Riley does not consider the ad

One grade suggested is for loans
of S35 or less running for 80 days,
on which total charges would be the
smallest, possibly 1 per cent plus
S125 for credit report A second sug-
gested class would be for character
loans ranging in principal from $35
to 5000, or loan of S35 or less for
longer than one month. Somewhat
higher charges would be allowed for
such loans, under proposed schedules.
A third class would be security loans

RELIEF OFFICE PAY
INCREASE SOUGHT
Appeal of Employees 0rgani.
cations to Be Carried
to MCCarI.

In an effort to raise the pay OF
employees of the District Emergency
Relief staff. Controller General Nc
Carl is to be asked If they may not
be compensated under the scale pro-
vided by executive orders for all new
establishments whose personnel is not
subject to classification act scales.
This was made known yesterday by
Leroy A. Halbert, director of emer-
gency relief for the District. in re-
sponse to complaints that have come
from the employees concerned, and
from the two Federal employees or
ganizations Federation OF
Government Employees and National
Federation of Federal Employees.
The relief's staff has about $50
members, and most Of these would get
pay increases, Mr.. Halbert said.
The pay for this group has been
a sore spot for several months. with
charges being made that in some
cases the workers were getting less
money for their labor than was be-
ing paid out to the beneflciaries OF
these subsistence funds which they
disbursed.
As Halbert explained. when the
emergency relief organization was
set up, it was viewed as only tenn
porary proposition and most OF its
employees were taken from relief roles.
In consequence, he said, only small
salaries were paid. When it devel-
oped, however. that the organization
was getting more or less on perma-
nent basis an effort was made to re-
classify the jobs and bring them into
line with the rest of the District es-
tablishments. but Controller General
McCarl held that this could not be
done by reason Of the prohibition in
the economy act against reclassiflca-
ton involving pay raises.
However, by executive orders. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has put all emergency
groups under pay scale comparable
to that of the classification act. and
Mr.. Halbert said that District Com
missioner George E. Allen is going
to ask Controller General McCarl II
these orders may not be construed to
cover these District employees, al
though they are not specifically men
toned.
