Questioned by Representative Nc
Grath, Democrat, of California con-

Admiral Leahy said it would be COM

A suggestion by Representative

that the proposed 20 per cent in

Returning to the question of lighter

Grath asked If Admiral Leahy would
object to earmarking of part of a $15,-
100000 experimental fund in the bill
for development Of dirigibles. When
Admiral Leahy answered that he
would not object, the Californian said
he would offer an amendment to that
effect.
Representative O'Connell, Democrat,
Of Rhode Island, said he would insist
that the amendment provide for dir

He contended that if the work went

tionality of the measure"
Under state law, the constitu-
tionality of the measure cannot be
questioned until after the initia-
tive becomes q 'fact," in other
words, until and if it is passed on
favorably by the voters.
At that time, the attorney gen.
erals office, announced the plan
may be attacked in the state and
federal courts.
Issuance of Money
Opponents of the plan, known
as ham and eggs for California =
already have indicated what the
basis of their claims of unconstitu-
tionality would be. Primarily it has
been opposed as a violation of the
federal constitution ban on the is
Suance OF state money.
The plans sponsors, for the main
part of those associated in past
years with the Townsend pension
plan, contend the proposal is
workable. 1t is based on the
"scrip" theory of money tried out
unsuccessfully in Alberta and pro-
yides for the issuance of 80 war
rants OF 81 denomination every
week to every person so years of
age or older who qualities. The
main qualification is that the pen
sion recipient be without gainful
employment.
The plan provides that after
each warrant is issued a two cent
stamp is to be placed on it each
week. The warrants are to be kept
in circulation, each week receiving
another two cent stamp.

In addition to the Downey vic

Little known before the election,
Kegley espoused the pension and
helped defend it against legal at

from two thirds of the state pre-

to win the nomination from ma

Warren, high in national Repub-
lican affairs, won the COP nomi-
nation in a landslide.
Patrick Cooney, defeated Demo-
cratic candidate, attacked War
ren's name on the Bourbon ballot
and said he would run as an inde-
pendent candidate.
The possibility of three major can
didates going into the November
gubernatorial race was brighter to-
day as Raymond L. Haight increas-
ed his lead over Olson on the Pro-
gressive ticket. Olson filed on the
two parties in what opponents
claimed was q strategic move to
win both and eliminate Haight.
Haight was a third party candidate
IN 1884, being credited with splitting
the Democratic forces and electing
Merriam.
Republicans predominated among
successful candidates for state Of

in stamps the person attempting
to negotiate it must supply the
missing stamps. When all the places
for stamps are filled at the end of
a year the state is to redeem the
warrants in cash.
Half of Salaries
Opponents of the measure have
pointed out that the number OF
stamps needed before the war
rants become convertible consti-
tutes a payment of $104 in cash
before a 81 warrant can be re-
deemed for 81.
The plan also provides for pay
ments up to half of the salaries of
state employees in warrants. The
employees have charged this was
tantamount to a pay cut as, in
their opinion, and that of numer-
Gus sother individuals in groups.
the merchants of the state will
not accept the warrants in eX-
change for merchandise.
Another of the involved provi-
sions of the plan is that the war
rants may be used for partial pay
ment of state taxeS-a provision
attacked by the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce as a threat
to the states financial structure.
Opponents of the plan also con-
tend that it would result in the
repeal of the income tax, sales tax
and old age security law in the
state, would require an appropria-
ton of 100000 to get it started,
and would place the three main
promoters of the plan in office as
an administrative board.

SORTING THE PULLETS.

There are two ways of looking at
this culling business. One is, Give
her a chance" the other, "She will be
a good layer and make some money"
The first is sentimental; the second,
sensible.
The first way may have a worthy
aim, but just now let us consider the
second as a means of building flock
that will pay this winter. To do this,
sort those pullets with the following
questions in mind as to each pullet:
Is she big enough for her age? Is she
fat enough and fully feathered? Is she
yellow enough in beak and shanks?
Will she lay by october LIST, and be
among the first so per cent to start?
Is she healthy and vigorous?
Then use all your courage and just
calmly put into the crates for market
those that do not measure up with
the best along these lines.
You will not be sorry for such pullets
that have to be culled out on this basis,
as they are going to be merely profit
eaters anyway.
And remember, just being a pullet
does not carry with it the right to
live at your expense.

RnttLesnake Killed
At Whiskey Ditch.

Worthington-Ralph Gregerson's eyes
popped when he spied snake as he
was returning to Cherry Point from
Worthington. He swerved his car and
ran over it, then quickly stopped to
see what damage he had done to the
diamondback. He found the snake
coiled by the road with its rattle up in
the air and going like a store full of
alarm clocks. While he was consider
ing how best to capture the intruder,
Game Wardens D. p Brady and B. A.
Langdahl came by looking for snake
which they had been transporting from
a county fair conservation exhibit. It
had escaped from box in the rear of
their truck. They were very much re-
lieved to find the snake, since it was
far from comfortable feeling to know
that it might be wandering around
Seeing that the snake was injured they
administered a dose of chloroform and
donated the exhibit to GregerSon. No
more rattlesnakeS around Whiskey ditch
now, at least no live ones.
