PERMISSION
TO RAISE RATE

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 80. eUP)
The California railroad commits
sion today granted 50 California
railroad companies permission TO
increase freight rates on basis COM
modities to 10 per cent.
The order applied to the compa-
MES intrastate commerce.
/ The railroads. in their applica-
tons. contended current rates were
not sufficient to insure them fair
return because of increased operat-
ing expenses, higher taxes, higher
interest rates and higher costs OF
raw materials.
Imperial Valley will be only
slightly affected by intrastate rate
increases because agricultural, pro-

Welfare Budget
Up 126 Per Cent,
Tax Study Shows

Imperial county's welfare budget
for the current fiscal year is great
er by 126 per cent. or S136.6o0 than
its actual expenditures for relief
purposes during the preceding
year. according to study of 1887
38 budget allowances of Califo for-
mia counties for welfare made
public by California Taxpayers,
association. The county plans to
spend S245. .235 for aid to the needy
aged. blind, and orphans and for
care of county indigents. compared
with Sl08.635 during l936-37, the
association found.
Budget allowances for the needy
aged amount to S170.800 compared
with last year expenditures of S6S,-
All; an allowances of Sl5.350 has
been set up for the blind. compar-
ed to expenditures of s5,479 during
the preceding year; s4O.800 is bud
geted for orphan aid. where S22,-
466 was spent last year. while aid
to county indigents, the -so-called
"unemployables." is estimated at
s10.50O compared with expendi-
lures of s7,772 in 1861. The bud
get allows s7,785 for administra-
tive expense, compared with s9,44l
for that purpose last year. the as
sociation found. ..-..s-
The cost Of aid for aged, blind,
and orphans is divided between
the federal, state, and county gov
ernmentS. This fact, the associa-
ton pointed out, gives many per-
sons the easy feeling that they are
escaping most of the cost. This is
very far from the truth Califor-
MIA pays about dollar and half
into the federal treasury for every
dollar that comes back in federal
grants. Contributions from the
state to the counties merely come
out of other taxes paid by the
same people. The states share of
aid to the aged. blind, and orphans
comes out Of the sales tax, the
state income tax. the insurance
premium tax. and other state taxes
paid by every individual in he
state who earns or spends money
The county share is carried by pro-
perty taxpayers"

No sooner had Menow scored his record breaking triumph in the Belmont Futurity than the discus sion of his chances to win further glory next year, as a 3-year-old, got underway.
 "The record speaks for itself, said Cuval Hadley. trainer of Me now and the strong stable of thor oughbreds raced by his uncle, Hal Price Headley.
 T thing it stamps our colt as a really worthwhile youngster.
 "Menow clipped one and one fifth seconds off the record, but even more impressive was the fact he beat a couple of fine colts in Tiger. and Fighting Fox by four or five lengths. Both these colts, remember. must have been well un- der the old mark.
 Before the race I thought we had fine colt; now I think we have a great one. I see no reason why he should not continue his triumphs as 3-year-old," young Headley went on.
 Others were of the opinion that Menow was primarily sprinter. Not a big colt, he is on the chunky side. He is by Pharamond II out of Alchiades, is stamped for speed rather than stamina. His action is smooth. He may be able to carry his speed over the distance route. Only time. and how he grows this winter. will determine that.
 The colt is rugged and. according to Trainer Headley, thrives on hard work. Menow was late in finding bis real speed as a 2-year-old. That bids well for next season.
 Young Headley. incidentlly, was elated oyer the success of his charg- les in the Belmont last fall meet ing. Taking the Futurity was his big triumph, of course. At 27 he is one of the youngest trainers to sad dle Futurity winner. His thor oughbreds won six races at Bel mont: the Fall lightweight with Preeminent, the Champagne and Futurity with Menow, and over night races with Dah He, Sparta and Heritage. Total winnings from thase tri,Innns amolInted to more than $70,000.

 No teams are definitely selected yet, but news has come from the Douglas side of the channel that that town will enter the tournament with another team as a result of an Eagle lodge vote Monday night. That brings the number of teams to enter play this season to six def initely, and perhaps seven if Krause's Concreters enter.
 New faces and new talent showed in last nights practice-some that is going to make the local ball ham, dlers put on the pressure to make any impression.
 A chap by the name of Woodring, from Ellensburg Normal displayed a good brand of ball and appears to handle the leather sphere in ex- perienced manner.
 Other new material is Jim Ber- rie, from Ames High School in Iowa where he played four years of high school ball and intramural ball at Iowa University. Two brothers from Wyoming, Bob and Carl Wilson showed their wares, as did Gordon Muma from Hood River Oregon, and L. Healy, formerly at Chilkoot Barracks.

 During the peace negotiations Davis was financial adviser to Pres idene Wilson. He vigorously opposed the heavy reparations which were being imposed on Germany and pre- dicted they would SOW the seeds of future discord in Europe.
 Two years ago while Italo-Ethi- opian warfare was raging, Ambas- sador Davis said We cannot re- main at peace just by hoping to dc so."
 This statement, scarcely noticed then, becomes significant now in view of President Roosevelt's recent declaration that peace cannot just be wished for or waited for, it must affirmatively be reached for Therefore, America actively engag- es in the search for peace"
 Title Unofficial l The ambassador title which so well describes his activi- ties, is unofficial. His real title is chairman of the American delega- ton to the disarmament conference, a permanent organization. He has an ambassadors commission, how ever, being appointed by President Roosevelt who aso made him head of tae disarmament delegation. During the World War he visited 1 Spain, France and England as a special adviser on financial affairs and at the end of the war became United States finance commissioner in Europe Ine supreme council of the Allies named the "candid American" chairman of its financial section. President Wilson success sively appointed him Assistant Sec retary of the Treasury and Under Secretary of State.
 At the conclusion of the Wilson administration he returned to pri- vate business but in 1927 was ap- pointed a member of the American delegation to the International Ec- onomic conference. His appoint ment to the disarmament delegation and other economic missions fol- lowed.
 Ambassador Davis is golf en- thusiast and a topnotch bridge play CT.
 Likes Family Reunions He is no linguist but he has a good working knowledge of French His headquarters usually are where he hangs his hat. He has, however a small private office as well as a residence in New York.

 During our deliberations the matter of solicitations for contri- buttons from other officials, clerks or employees in Government service for gifts or presents to superior officials, has been brought to our attention, and it is recommended that this practice be immediately stopped.
 Tt has come to our attention during the examination of witness es before this Grand Jury for vio- lation of the laws that the greater part of the violations are brought about through over indulgence in liquor, and we recommend that all law enforcement authorities exer- else greater vigilance in combating this evil, and that the officers in charge of the enforcement of these regulations vigorously prosecute the licensee violators to the extent of lrevoking their licenses.
