Has abused his powers as chief exec.

fusing to support Gov. LANCER for

Equitable reduction OF public ex-
penditures was called for: the Mis-
souri, river diversion project and the

nor, unopposed. This group favored

eliminated.
Hold Moratoria Needless
In their resolution criticising Lang
er's moratoria the Independent Re-
publicans charged "these blanket

CALL HIS BLUFF

We hope the state of California calls
Johnny Hawkins bluff, but as the 'cal-
ing will undoubtedly rest in the hands
of IL citizens, otherwise known as a Jury.
We have our doubts.
Hawkins is the rat" who attempted a
hold-up in the downtown section of Los
Angeles last week, and was repulsed by
citizen who happened to be national
guard officer. AS the would-be bandit
fled he turned and fired at the citizen,
inflicting fatal injury.
He boasted of his killing and UNDER
world friends CD tipped off the police
who arrested him.
Sure, he killed the citizen and readily
admitted it. He did it because the citi-
zen played dirty trick on him." by
shooting at him as he fled from the car
According to his confession Hawkins
said he turned and let him have it, be-
cause he shot at me in the back. | can
hit silver dollar at so PAGES"
Photographs show him grinning and
reports in the newspapers state he grim
ned as he told the story of the shooting.
Its all up now and if I've got to
hang, let's get it over with" he told the
officers.
That s bluff and bravado which
death sentence and few weeks in con-
demned row will crack. Hawkins is
rat" and will prove it when the time
comes
1t is pity that human misfits such as
he is can't be exterminated immediate
ly. 1t is an evSn greater pity that in
most cases their fate is entrusted to
juries without any backbone, who bring
in verdict and recommendation of
mercy, such as the recent Los Angeles
jury which refused to hang the cold
blooded slayer of policeman.
If necessary, the "yellow journals"
will play up Hawkins as misunder-
stood youth and some clever attorney
will ring in his heart-broken mother in
Missouri to influence the jury.
We hope we're wrong, but the game
has been played so often that we have
come to expect it.

FEATURES
ARE YOU REGISTERED?

If ever there was need for every cit
izen of California to cast his ballot, and
to cast it intelligently, the general cleo
tion in November presents such a need,
and no citizen should fail to make GER
tain that he is eligible to vote on that oc-
casion.
Registration for the November cleo
tion is now open and will remain open
for only two weeks-closing on Septem-
Der 27.
There may be citizens whose registra-
tion has expired by reason of failure to
vote, or who have never been registered,
or who were ineligible to vote at the pri-
mary for one reason or another.
Every citizen, unless he is absolutely
certain that he is properly registered,
should check up on his registration be-
tween now and September 81, so that he
will not find, on November 6, that he
has forfeited his right of franchise.
In order to vote it is necessary to be
properly registered, therefor registra-
tion is civic duty which should not be
overlooked.

and one on the mantle. Scattered
about were stockings, knickers,
shirts and caps. Oh, such disorder.
None of the garments were on the
chairs where they should have been
neatly folded.
II must teach my boys lesson,
thought the rabbit gentleman. He
told this to Nurse Jane when he
went down stairs.
What are you going to do?"
asked the muskrat lady.
II am going to get a clothes
tree" said Uncle Wiggily.
Not That Kind of Tree
"Oh, don't get a tree to grow any
more clothes for them!" s. e
squeaked. "They have enough
clothes now. They'll only throw
more on the floor if you get them
clothes tree to grow more knick-
ers and coats"
Uncle Wiggily laughed. THAT
isn't the sort of clothes tree I am
going to get," he said. II will buy
sort of standing tree because it
is straight up and down like the
trunk of tree and sticking out
from it are little pegs like the
branches of a tree. That's how it
gets the name. Ill get clothes
tree for the room where Buster,
Custer and Duster sleep and see if
they will not hang their clothes up
on it neatly
II hope a clothes tree will do the
trick" said Nurse Jane.
1T am sure it WILL" said Uncle
Wiggily.
VIII They Use 1t?
He said nothing to the three rab-
bits who were the worst ones
about throwing their clothes around
the room. but next day Uncle Wig
gily went to the furniture store
and bought a clothes tree. He put
it up in the room where Buster,
Custer and Duster slept. t h C
clothes tree had on it enough pegs
so that each rabbit boy could hang
up all his garments.
"And they can stand their shoes
at the foot of the clothes tree,
! said Mrs. Longears when she went
up to look at it.
THE foot of a clothes tree is the
proper place for shoes" laughed
Uncle Wiggily. Now we shall see
what happens tonight" he said
IF Buster, Custer and Duster don't
hang their clothes on the tree I
shall be much disappointed.
And if the cocoanut custard pie
will take the chocolate cake to the
canary birds party I'll tell you
next about Uncle Wiggilys tree
trick.
