PROPOSITION Is AND Is,
WITHOUT OPPOSITION

Assembly constitutional amendment
No. 20 proposition No. 15 on the Nov.
3 ballot) and Assembly constitutional
amendment No. 80 proposition 10 on
the BALLOT are routine improvements IN
the existing law which should be ap-
proved by voters of California.
Proposition Is would allow the grant
ing of relief to special assessment dis
tricts now forced to levy overburden-
ing taxes to pay for bonds and inter-
est. In these special assessment dis
tricts, formed during boom years i'm
provements such as highway construc-
tion were made and charged against
abutting property, with the result that
many property owners, saddled with
the load, now are faced with the tragedy
of losing their holdings. Under this
amendment, the state could bear a
share of the expense from funds pro-
vided for that purpose. No opposition
has developed.
Proposition 16 would alter routine
financial procedure in water districts
and water conservation districts, making
it possible for them to transfer money
from one fund to another to pay bond
capital and interest. Under the existing
law funds can be transferred only to
care for operation and maintenance ex-
penses, and not for bond and interest
payments. This measure has no extern
sive opposition.
VOTE "YES" ON PROPOSITION Is
AND 16.

SECURITY


I'VE propose a system of old age security,
based upon the following principles:
81 We approve pay-as-you-go policy, which
requires of each generation the support OF the
and adequate
aged and the determination OF what IS just
- Every American citizen over TO snoulo
receive the supplementary payment necessary
to provide a minimum income sutflcmt 10 pro-
tect him or her from want.
50 Each state and territory, upon comply
ing with simple and general minimum STANDARDS,
should receive from the federal government
a graduated contribution in proportion TO It's
own, up to a fixeo maximum.
"A To make this program consistent WIN
sound fiscal policy the federal revenues Tor TINS
purpose must be provided from the proceeds OF
direct tax widely distributed All will be bene-
fitted and all should contribute.
I'VE propose to encourage adoption by the
states and territories of honest and practical
measures for meeting the problems OF unem-
ployment insurance
"The unemployment insurance and old age
annuity sections Of the present social security
act are unworkabe and deny benefits to about
two-thirds of our adult population, lncludmg
professional men and women and all those
engaged in agriculture and domestic service,
and the self-employed while imposing heaVy TAX
burdens upon all. The so-called reserve fund
estimated at s47000,000,000 for old age inSur-
ance is no reserve at all, because the fund VIII
contain nothing but the governments promise
to pay while the taxes collected in the gulse OF
premiums will be wasted by the government
in reckless and extravagant political schemes"
LABOR
"The welfare of labor rests upon increased
production and the preention OF exploitation
We pledge ourselves to:
protect the right of labor to organize and
to bargain collectively through representatives
of its own choosing without interference from
any source. ,-3e
Prevent government job holders from eX-
ercising autocratic powers over labor.
Support the adoption OF state laws ana
interstate compacts to abolish sweat shops and
child labor, and TO protect women ana chill

this can be done within the constitution as II
