lndigent Transients
Warned They Won't
Get Help at Capital

SACRAMENTO, Calf, March %.
Warning was issued today by
all public and private relief agen-
cies in this city that transients
coming into Sacramento Valley in
search of work could not expect
welfare agencies to provide their
living while they were searching
for such employment. State relief
offices, county welfare department
and the Sacramento community
chest have all given public notice
that INDECENT transients will not be
helped, according to A. Van v.
Phinney, president of the Sacra-
mento community chest.
The agencies take the position
that the resident needy tax the
relief funds Of all agencies to the
limit and, therefore, that persons
from other counties will have to
depend en- their places of residence
for assistance.
AT this time of year when
seasonal work starts in Sacramento
valley people from California and
other states get the false idea that
the thing to- do is to come here and
relief agencies will provide a living
for them either while they are
waiting for job or in the event
that they fail to get one" says
Phinney.

FIVE FEARED
LOST IN STORM

SAN FRANCISCO, March %. Wp
Mountainous seas caused by heavy
winds sweeping California and its
coastline may have taken a toll of
five lives, it was believed today.
The belief originated from reports
of a lighthouse keeper at Piedros
Elancos Point, $50 miles south of
San Francisco, who said he saw a
fishing boat with five men aboard
in distress off the light and finally
saw the vessel capsize. The coast
guard cutter Ewing searched the
vicinity and could locate no trace
either of the boat Oh its crew, the
coast guard reported.
No boats had been reported miss

VALLEY FUTURE
HANGS ON LOW
POWER RATES

Low utility rates are seen as a
necessary basis OF community prog
ress and prosperity and the future
Of any community depends more
upon low utility rates than upon
any other single material element,
according to a writer in a recent
publication which deals with the
subject of municipal owners of
public utilities. Furthermore the
only way in which substantial and
permanent reduction in power
rates may be secured is through
the public ownership of the util-
tiles, the bulletin states.
As a pertinent example of what
can be accomplished for a COM
munity through low power rates,
reference is made in this bulletin
to Vernon, California, which is one
of the most distinctly industrial
communities in the country. This
city has established its own Diesel
municipal light and power plant,
said to be the largest of its kind
in this country which is operated
on a service and not profit basis.
There are over $50 industrial
plants and commercial concerns To-
Gated within the Vernon city
limits, according to this bulletin,
and with extremely low rates as
sured through the operation of the
municipal power plant a still fur
ther growth is expected.
Such notices are Of interest to
residents of this valley because of
The proposed Imperial Irrigation
District power development and
distribution program. With low
rates for power assured in the Dis
trict and County through the OPP
Grafton Of this proposed system a
decided increase in the growth of
industries in this part of the state
is to be expected.

Congress May
Adjourn Saturday

Westinghouse break in the
long deadlock over the admins
tration's tax bill was hailed We'd
nesday night when Senate-House
conferees finally reached a tenta-
tive agreement on the controverted
question of taxing undistributed
corporation earnings and cleared
the way for a final compromise on
the measure Thursday.
Chairman Doughton, Democrat
of North Carolina, of the House
conferees revealed the break, say
ing he thought that ''by Thursday
night we shall be able to turn the
bill over to the drafting service"
The disintegration of the dead
lock which has gripped the tax
bill began to appear after a new
compromise corporation tax pro-
gram was brought into the con-
ference deliberations.
A final clean up of the contro-
versy over the widely differing
Senate and House revenue bills
would open the road to the goal
sought by congressional leaders
adjournment by Saturday night.
Doughton said the conferees had
agreed tentatively also on the mat
ter of treating debt-ridden cor
porations. He added that he be-
lieved Senate provisions for increas-
es in individual income surtaxes
would be eliminated fom the bill if
enough money could be produced
without them. The sur-tax
boosts were estimated to produce
$50,o00,o0
Doughton did not reveal imme-
diately how closely the tentative
agreement reached would follow
the compromise on which the con-
ferees met.
The compromise under discussion
was closed in theory to the original

IS Uncle Sam
Federal Agency So Far
Has Lent So, ZOO, 600, 900
Few Defaults Recorded
Maximum Loan $4,000
Country-Wi Vic Average
Placed at So 900

The ''loans here" signs in 2se
offices of the Home Owners Loan
corporation throughout the coun-
try were ordered taken down at
midnight Friday night to make
room for pay here" notices to
more than a million home owners.
Officials of the Federal agency
that has lent more than $3,OOO,-
100000 since June, 1888, said all
eligible demands for emergency
home loans had been met, most of
them months ago.
But they added that work of
the HOLC was far from completed
that the job had been shifted
from lending to collecting. Only
a small reduction in personnel OF
the agency's present staff of more
than 10000 workers appeared in
prospect.
Under the home loan act a IS
year loan at 5 per cent interest
was granted distressed home own
ers while the holders of their de-
faulted mortgages receivd HOLC
bonds backed by the Federal treas
ury.
HOLC officials already have be-
gun collection of the monthly
payments from the more than a
million home owners. Several
thousand owners, they said, have
defaulted and foreclosures have
been started. But the defaults, they
added, were comparatively few and
chiefly by misguided or dishon-
est" persons.
