all a superior country when com
pared with the others of the world

Illuminating talk given this noon by

statement that if the individual
could view the nations Of the world
from some high point in the air he
would gain a proper perspective,
the. speaker went on to describe the
sight Of the world turning on its
axis as seen By the individual.
He compared this country's money,
government, churches with those Of
the other nations. showing the
United States superiority and the
evident advantages that are auto
matically conferred upon its citi-
zens.
From the material standpoint,
While the country is off the gold
standard. the dollar is still the
standard in world exchange. Wom-
ack pointed out the advantage Of
the American currency as compared
to the five peso Chilean bill worth
today 20 cents in American money.
A day labOrer there received three
pesos per day or Il cents, and with
that he is unable to buy the radio,
automobile. home conyeniences that
the American l5borer may achieve

She at first demurred, saying she

SOLONS SAY
REVENUE Of
STATE SHORT.
Provisions Fall Twenty Millions
Below Amount Needed State
Capital Observers
BY GEORGE f. HELMER
United Press Staff Correspondent

Inlteu treSS stan CORES pOnuent
SACRAMENTO. June l8.-The
California legislature fell at least
S20,000,000 short of proViding 6
enough revenue to meet all state
expenses during the 1935-37 bien-
MUM, some members and state Of
fieialS said today after the law
making battle smoke had settled.
IN adding S118.0OO00O in new or
increased taxes on California indi-
viduals and corporations. the legis-
lature voted the heaviest burden
ever encountered by the taXpay-
erS. Altogether, S376,000, ,000-S62 66
from each man, woman and child
in the State-must be collected if
the record-sized budget IS to be
balanced.
Controller Ray L. Riley estimated
the new revenue would be at least
S20000,00O short of meeting current
expenses. And aside from that, the
legislature made no provision for
unemployment relief during the
second half of the two-year period.
A present deficit Of S28,OOOoOO,
accumulated during the past four
years. will be handled on a tenn
porary basis through a system of
short term borrowings if the cleo
torate approves a proposition which
will appear on the August Is, spe-
cial election ballot. No other ar
rangement has been made to re-
tire the debt. Unless business con-
ditions improve sufficiently to in
crease revenue. or new taxes are
levied, the deficit will continue in
definitely.
Because legislators agreed that
no taxes should be added unless it
was absolutely necessary. the law
makers decided upon a bond issue
of sI3,950,O00 to make needed ad-
ditions to state hospitals and pri-
sons. This also will be voted upon
August Is.
Estimates Too High
Assemblyman Charles W. Lyon,
administration floor leader. said he
believed the estimates of the new
tax proposals passed by the legis-
lature were too high.
Il don't believe the revenue mea-
sures will raise more than $780,
0O0,000,' he said. The state will be
about s25,0O0,000 short of balancing
the budget because the senate kill
ed bill to levy a severance tax on
gas and OIL
Assemblyman H. Dewey Ander-
son, Cupertino, believed the legiS-
lature would be forced OF adopt a
severance tax during a special cleo
ton early next year, when it has
been discovered that revenue esti-
mates were too high.
Estimates of the yield of nine
new tax measures were based on
investigation of the joint legisla-
tive revenue and taxation COM
mittee. There were varying ideas
as to the amount Of revenue need
ed and the total TO be expected
from the new taxes, and the legis-
lature used the joint committees
figures as a basis for working out
a program.
Gov Frank F. Merriam pointed
out that the legislature probably
would return for a special session
before any serious consequences de-
veIoped, and that the task of solv-
ing revenue problems could be
completed then.

FOUR MONTHS
COAST TANKER
STRIKE ENDS

SAN FRANCISCO, June Is. up
"A four-months strike of Pacific
coast tanker seamen collapsed to-
day with the announcement ot
union authorities that the men had
decided to return to their jobs
without gaining wage increases or
preferential union employment.
The announcement followed the
withdrawal of a federal arbitration
board which reported that ship
owners had refused to consider va
rious proposals for mediation OF the
dispute.
The owners of the tank ships
operating from Pacific coast ports
have maintained that the strike
ended two weeks ago when they
were successful in restoring their
tankers to regular operation.
Non-union crews now man the
tankships. The union men were
instructed by their leaders to ap-
ply for their old jobs. Employers
indicated that they would be treat

that they would not be guaranteed
work but would be given employ
