STATE LEGISLATURE
AND SOUND GOVERNMENT

Clarence R. Walker, Imperial countys
delegate to the state assembly at Sacra-
mento, adds point to the knowledge OF
those who have followed recent news
dispatches out of the state capital con-
cerning the current budget battle. In
letter to the Post-Press, Walker says:
I'VE are having quite battle here at
the present time on the proposed budget.
It seems to me that the position OF the
administration is weakening a little and
perhaps further reductions will be per-
mitted by them in order to pass the
budget. | would just like TO remark, in
nv belief the only thing that will pre-
vent the present administration from
drifting to the left is the fact that sup
port will not be given by the Legislature
to such a program"
This terse paragraph demonstrates
perfectly the quality of independent
thought in recognition of which Imperial
county has twice sent Walker to the
state assembly with overwhelming ma
iorities Luckily for California, it dem
onstrates as we'll the thought of major
ity of state Legislators.
II has become increasingly apparent
since the present state administration
took over that, without some common
sense balance provided by the legisla-
ground for all manner of left-wing eco
nomic and industrial schemes and theor
les. The budget over which fight RACES
just now is a good demonstration. 1t is
the highest in the states history.
1t is a good thing TO have a liberal
executive in the governors mansion at
Sacramento. Such a governor tends to
keep the public mind alive to what goes
on in state government. But, without
some strong check, his efforts might
very easily miscarry, to the detriment of
the state as whole The legislature,
made up largely of such men as those
who represent Imperial county, now pro-
vides that check.
1t should be the ever present hope of
Californians that their legislators will
continue to carry on the fight against
costly radical theories which are at
tractive only as long as they are untried,
but which, once tried, become overwhelm-
ing burdens on the commonwealth.
