Rancher's Strategy
Lands Two in Jail

BRAWLEY, May 3.-ChriS West
gard rancher near the south city
limits of Brawley. resorted to STRAIT
egy to Jail two Negroes he found
taking a personal interest in the in
habitants of the Westgard turkey
pens Sunday.
The rancher saw the Negroes
scouting the territory near the pens.
He watched until they began to
select the birds they wanted from
the flock. When he asked them
what they were doing, they replied
they were looking for work"
well" retorted the rancher,' the
boss is up at the house eating sup
per. Let's go up there Reluctantly
the Negroes discarded plans for en-
tering the poultry business and went
to the house with Westgard. The
rancher told his family to tclc-
phone BraWley police.
1--WE need some tobacco suggest
ed the prisoners. Westgard escort
ed them to a nearby service station
to make the purchase. All three
were there when the police patrol
wagon arrived. Here are your men,
Westgard informed the officers.
Theodore Linscomb and Daniel
Howard. the Negroes, were taken to
jail without having had a nibble

What Other Editors Saw
THE COST OF HIGHER PENSIONS
u (StOcktOn Record

Two state epartments-finance and social
welfare-have given the legislature something
to ponder seriously. They have put out the
makers who are eager to increase old-age pen
sons and lower the eligibility requirements.
The departments, without taking any stand pro
or con, have submitted figures showing what the
various proposals for increases would cost the
people of California.
Department calculators point out that the
proposals to boost monthly pensions to $50 and
decrease the eligibility age to 60 will cost STA
100000 during the next two years, with the
state and counties both contributing $70061 900
and the federal government supplying the bal
ance That would kite old-age security costs in
California $780, 900 above the total cost of
pensions for 1879 if the law remains un
changed The figures give the legislators COM
pelling reason to pause.
Where the money is to be produced to pay
for such increases no one knows And some of
the proposals for pension law changes before
the legislature dodge the answer. They make
no provision for financing. Nevertheless the
solons in voting any changes cannot evade their
responsibility in thinking of the possible effect
on state finances.
Adjustments can be made in the law to give
pensioners a sum closer to the $35 maximum
without any great difference in the financial
set-up But changes which will boost the bills
and prove constant lure to the needy aged
from all over the nation-drawn to California
by the highest pension provision in the country
are not to be lightly made. -.ri

MANDATORY ECONOMY SUGGESTED
lRedlandS FactSl

Movement for state constitutional amend
ment that would provide for a pay-aS-you-go
requirement for the state was launched last
night at Riverside. Senator William P. Rich
of Marysville, among a half dozen state Off
cials speaking at the Present Day Club, de-
clared that such a provision would be no more
than is required now of cities and counties. His
suggestion was heartily seconded by Lyman M
King of Redands, former state senator and
former state director of finance.
Senator Rich leans toward the opinion that
the legislature should be so restricted, but fur
ther that it's powers should be extended also
to an arbitrary slathing of fixed charges over
which the legislature now has no control, but
for which it must each year provide taxes. Sen
ator Rich declared that these fixed charges, vot-
ed by the people upon themselves, constitute
rs per cent of the state budget.
The suggestion appears TO have been offered
at strategic time. The iron seems hot for
Just such constitutional provision. At least,
among that gathering of 400 at the Present Day
Club the sentiment seemed overwhelmingly to-
ward controlled budget and even a leveling
off of expenses arbitrarily fastened in the con-
stitution.
Considering that enthusiasm, people of the
state may very well expect to be asked to vote
before long a constitutional amendment making
it mandatory upon the legislature to stay within
income, and giving it authority to cut also the
peoples own budgetary allowances.
