acknowledges receipt of the protest
against certain bills pending in the
assembly which had been telegraph
ed by the local board last week.
81 understand that California is
one of the few states where the cost
is excessive for the rendering OF
services provided for in the above
legislation" Walker wrote. II would
not favor legislation placing the
burden on the taxpayers as whole,
SO hope that out of all these bills
something more economical and
workable can be secured" he added.
The bills against which the local
board of supervisors and county
grand jury had protested were con-
cerned with proposed changes in
the handling of certain records in
the county recorders office.

XEMPT|ON Of
FOODSTUFF To
Be CONTESTED
Elimination From Sales Tax
Will Be Bitterly Fought AT
Sacramento

SACRAMENTO, April II. U.P)-
Proposed exemption of foodstuffs
from the retail sales tax will be ar
gued on the assembly floor within
a few days as the result of lgeis-
lators' determination to debate the
merits of two bills designed to
eliminate the "poor man. tax"
Assemblyman Charles Hunt, Los
Angeles, was successful in drawing
his bill from committee after
members of the revenue and tax
alton group had refused to give 1t
a favorable accommodation and
had sent out, instead, bill by As
semblyman jefferson Peyser, San
Francisco.
The major differences between
the two bills were: Hunt S would
exempt all food while Peyser IS
would not include imported articles
and certain commodities not re-
garded as "necessities of life;"
Hunt IS would lose the state approx
imately $30,000,000 in biennial rev.
enue. while Peyser's would lose
about $2O0OO,OOO.
A sharp debate followed Hunt IS
motion to draw his bill out of the
committee and give the whole as
sembly an opportunity to choose be-
tween the two measures. The mo-
ton carried, 43 to 25.
Opposition to a resolution call
ing for appointment of a joint COM
mittee of IA to study and coordi-
nate revenue and taxation measures
developed in the assembly when
Assemblyman William Hornblower
San Francisco, charged that it was
an attempt to crush through some
tax program at the last minute
Further consideration of the res
olution, already passed by the SEN
ate, was delayed because of other
special orders of business.
A move was made to delay final
consideration of bill regulating
small loan brokers, and a call of
the house was necessary because of
the close vote.

temperatures brought an end in the
midwest today of frost and snow
which threatened destruction of
millions of dollars worth of fruit,

Agricultural experts said temper
atures ranging from zero to 30 de-

berry crops generally were not far
enough advanced TO be injured, but
peach yields may have been re-
duced by half.

oats may have to be replanted in
several midwestern states if cold

Rose Move Baked
Another angle of the district
election dispute was brought to
light yesterday afternoon when
Mark Rose, seconded by Ira Aten,
moved the adoption of a resolu-
tion by which all the employees of
the District now actually engaged
in the preparation of the 1886
assessment would receive compen-
sation for such services during the
pendency of the decision of the ap-
pellate court. The motion was lost
when Directors Hewes, Young and
Morrow voted against it.
Following the February 6 district
election and the refusal of Barry
and McIver to relinquish their Of
fices to Hatch and Bratton who
had been given certificates of cleo
tion by the board, the board voted
to discontinue the salaries of Bar
ry, McIver and their deputies from
March IL, the date upon which
Bratton and Hatch were to have
taken over the duties of their Of
fices.
Later, 10 of the deputies en-
ployed in the assessor collectors
office with Miss Anna McManus,
assistant treasurer, were deputized
by Bratton and Hatch and re-
placed on the district payroll. Last
week additional deputies were cho-
sen by Miss Barry and 1t is those
who are directly concerned in the

NEW DEAL To
CRACK DOWN"
On HUEY LONG
Hopkins And Ickes Refuse To
Give "Kingfish" Control OF
Federal Funds
BY RICHARD HARDNESS
United Press Staff Correspondent

Copyright, 1885, BY United Press
WASHINGTON, April II W,D -
The New Deal today answered
Sen. Huey P. Longs attacks with
drastic action intended to squelch
him and perhaps upset his political
dictatorship over Louisiana.
l. Harry l.. Hopkins, relief ad-
ministration, seized control of Louis
lana unemployment aid.
2. Harold L. Ickes, public works
administrator, ridiculed the sena-
tors "share-the wealth" campaign
and threatened to rescind Louisiana
construction allotments.
The fiery Long, entrenched in
the state capitol at Baton Rouge,
answered with characteristic attacks
on the brain trust cabinet" and
advised Ickes Ito 70 slam-bang to
hell"
He asserted he would return to
the senate Monday to "blast back
his ears" and resume his TRADE
against President Roosevelt himself,
Postmaster General cEmes A. Far
ley and the entire administration.
The action of Hopkins and Ickes
comes as the first out-in- he-open
moves by the New DEAL to re-
taliate against Long. His attacks
thus far had gone unanswered.
Hopkins made Frank Peterman,
anti-Long factionist, his Louisiana
relief director. Federal funds will
go direct to him for expenditure
and not to Gov. o. K. Allen, the
customary procedure.
Longs Hands Tied
The appointment of Peterman
who, as state senator, voiced op-
position to Long some time ago,
will prevent the "kingfish" from
playing any part in caring for
Louisiana's needy.
IckeS' barbed invectives came
after he had been advised that Long
was pushing a bill through the

MILK BOTTLES
IN GENE Terry

Outstanding example of the er-
roneous use of milk bottles Is re-
ported by Merrill Cole, containers
investigator for the state depart
ment of agriculture.
Over 1000 milk bottles used for
grave markers and flower vases on
a local cemetery were recovered up
on issuance of written instructions
recently to the owner who cooperat-
ed splendidly with Cole as did the
Imperial Valley Dairy Containers
Exchange.
Furthermore containers were OBJ
tanned by the owner of the cemetery
and also through the courtesy of a
local concern which were used to
replace the bottles. OF the 1923 bot
ties $50 were good usable bottles
and were turned over to the ex-
change for distribution.
Cole points out that in addition
to the above, the use of milk bottles
for oil, gasoline, distilled water or
any purpose other than milk or
products thereof must be discon-
tinued.
aside from a legal viewpoint
which makes it unlawful for a per-
son to use a milk bottle registered
to someone else without written per-
mission from the registrant or own
er and for any other purpose than
that for which it is intended, it is
hoped that the cooperation of the
general public may be secured in an
attempt to curb this misuse of dairy
containers and return the same,
thus curtailing the tremendous ex-
pense imposed upon dairymen
through loss and breakage of milk.
