Diego county ranks fiftieth. San
Diego is not large agricultural
producer, yet there are 1000 coun-
ties in the United States which
produce less then she does of agri-
cultural commodities, so this
means that any measure which
tends to increase the cost of rail
transportation. because. most of
this volume Of agricultural pro-
duce is consumed in the East is
highly inimical to agriculture in
California and the state as
whole.
Il assume that you are, and will
continue to do everything possible
in Washington to oppose passage
of this unwise< legislation. In. order
to reassure our growers and ship
pers and business men here gen.

TIRE EXPERT
IN WARNING
ON SKIDDING.

Winter aheadl Beware of worn
tires and muddy pavements." !"
That's the warning issued this
week by r. C. tucker. tire sales
manager for the Pacific Division
Of U. S. Tire Dealers Mutual cor
poration, as he pointed to the
greatly increased number of traf-
fic accidests due to skidding that
occur during winter months.
Worn, thin tires are a real safe
ty hazard at any time of the year
but on wet pavements they are
doubly dangerous" Tucker said
Every lnotorist should have the
tires on his car carefully inspected
before entering the winter driving
season. Castings that are worn
smooth should be replaced i'm
mediately and those that are par
tally worn should be watched
closely.
That car owners are aware of
the Importance Of having safe,
anti-skid tires for winter driving
is apparent in the mounting sales
of the new u. S. Royal Master
tire reported by Pacific Coast
dealers" Tucker added.
The Royal Master is especially
designed for wet, skiddy streets. Its
patented deskidding process divides
the tread into hundreds of sharp
edged blocks which grip the road
surface with a centipede-like grip
and wipe it dry. thus eliminating
both forward and side skids. Actual
tests prove that this amazing new
safety tread viii stop a car in two
thirds the distance required by Or
binary anti-Skid tires"

Dill IN the house in January The
bin passed the senate at the last
session of congress.
The increased cost of train oper-

with the short train bill would add
TO railway company expenses and
ultimately result in increased
freight rates, chamber of COM

bin become a law, the directors
declared, the shortening of the
trains would mean the railway
companies would be forced to oper-

the cost, in the directors opin-

BARRIERS CODE
INVALID, SAYS
COURT DECISION

| Governor Benson's barber code,
which decreed 50-cent haircuts
and 25-cent shaves throughout
Minnesota, was held invalid in a
decision by Judge Fred Dennis in
mu -icipal court at Detroit Lakes.
Judge Dennis ruled that the
code, which fixes the price of
BARRIERS services, is unconstitu-
! tional.
1t is expected that the State
Barber Board will appeal the de-
cision, as the board has been &C
/ tive in promoting the little
NRA" and was instrumental in
getting Governor Benson to fix
prices throughout the state.
Albert and Henry Kline of De-
troit Lakes, who operate a bar
Der shop, were arrested on COM
plant of c. E. Gustafson, state
examiner, who said the Klines
charged only Is cents for hair
cuts.
In his decision, Judge Dennis
declared:
"a legislature does not have the
power to dictate the price parties
must charge and pay in making
contracts for personal service"
The decision, if upheld, is likely
to be far-reaching in the state, as
other trades have saught to stand
ardiZe prices and hours.
The state board collected So
apiece from more than $4,000
BARRIERS in the state in putting
over the code, making a three
year fight for it. 1t was designed
to eliminate cut raters and the
practice of keeping shops open
long hours, to the detriment of
others.
