SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. y. lUP)
California votes again tomorrow
on Ham and Eggs" pension plan.
which would give all state citizens
over so who are neither employees
nor employers the equivalent of $50
every Thursday for life.
While betting odds rose to 5 to
that the proposal would be beaten.
observers believed the margin would
be close and they forecast a ma
iority vote of only 300. 900 against
the plan. Last year the same scheme
was beaten BY 250o00 votes.
Business men were frankly ap-
prehensive of the outcome and a
number, including the San Francis
co Stock Exchange, arranged TO
move their business out of the state
if the voters approve Ham and Eggs.
The plan was offered the 3,606.000
qualified voters, the largest regis
tered for a special election, as a
constitutional amendment called
the California Life Retirement Pay
ments Act. 1t was sponsored by the
California Life Retirement Pay
ments Association, headed by Law
renee and Willis Allen, Los Angeles.
brothers.
The Federal Security Administra-
ton has estimated that there are
100000 persons in the state over
so and therefore eligible for the
plan. 1t is not directed specifically
toward senior citizens who are un-
employed but toward any person
over so who retires from employ
ment or who retires from employ
ing others as well as those who al
ready are without work
Gov. Culbert l.. Olson, who favors
a pension for the aged but describ-
ed the Ham and Eggs" plan as
"fallacious and unavoidable" cli-
NAKED his opposition last night in
a radio address He acknowledged
that advocates of the plan aided in
his election in 1898, but asserted
that the plan, as revamped this
year. was untenable.
Sheridan Downey, Junior United
States senator elected on the Ham |
& Eggs" platform, took no part in
the campaign.

Lumber Company
Decision Reversed

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. CUP)-
The supreme court today reversed
ninth circuit court of appeals
decision approving a reorganization
plan for the Los Angeles Lumber
Products company, owner of the
Los Angeles Shipbuilding and Dry
dock corporation.
The court acted on an appeal,
supported by the government, which
charged that the lumber company's
stockholders were getting a large
degree of control over the reorgan-
lied company at the expense of
bondholders.
The government asked the court
TO reassert the doctrine of absolute
priority" of senior grade securities
in reorganization proceedings and
TO clarity rules for the treatment
of all types of securities.

@-Thursday Would
hdmsfrinq Labor

Predictions that labor would vote
partly for 30-Thursday and partly
against it were met Monday with
this statement from Deputy Labor
Commissioner James F. McDill of
Imperial county.
Labor has every reason to vote
against it." he said. I'm the first
place 30-Thursday would prohibit
strikes, which would mean a serious
blow to union ranks.
IN the second place the act goes
directly against our state labor code
which states that employees must re-
ceive either legal currency or its
equivalent, without discount. EN-
ployerS; therefore, who attempt to
pay employees in warrants would be
guilty OF a misdemeanor. 1t is great
ly in doubt as to whether provisions
in the 30-Thursday act would have
any affect as to changing the pre-
sent code"

Scrip Disaster

Before dropping the scheme the
government asked civil servants to
take 10 per cent of their salaries
in the scrip in the hope that this
would make it work. But even that
step failed to prevent its collapse.
Merchants universally refused to
accept the scrip which they called
funny money They pointed out
that wholesale houses outside the
province, corresponding in Canada
to the state in the United States,
would not accept the provincial
scrip in payment of stocks.
Only one large store nj the pro-
vince accepted the warrants as pay
ment for goods during the unsuc-
cessful trial.
The scrip plan was advanced by
the social credit government after
its original plan of $25 monthly di-
vidends to all citizens failed to work.

New York votinq
On Pari-MufueIs
AT Tuesday Ballot

NEW YORK. Nov. D. CUP)-Op-
position to the legaliZation of pari-
mutuel betting on horse races in
tomorrows state election was crys-
tallizing today after Mayor F. H.
LaGuardia had joined church lead
ers in denouncing the proposed con-
stitutional amendment.
The fight against the amendment,
which would replace bookmakers at
the states tracks, had been carried
on principally by churches and the
'bookies." But yesterday LaGuardia
and Borough President Raymond
V. Ingersoll of Brooklyn issued
statements characterizing the pro-
poSal as unsound economically and
morally.
Making pari mutuelS lawful
would be the first step to what
might become a complete let-down
and open gambling" the mayor
said. Gambling is socially undesir
able and it is also bad economics ...
BY pari-mutuel gambling at the
race tracks receiving constitutional
sanction, judges who favor gam
bling-and some Of them I am told
even follow the plugs-will have an
alibi to sanctimoniously dismiss
gamblers who are arrested outside
race tracks
1T is stated that the tax to the
state will equal sl0,000000 a year.
I doubt that If the state tax
is 10 Der cent this would require
total betting of S1O0000,0O0 a year.
If the tax is 5 per cent, which
I believe is what is intended, the
total betting will have TO be $780,
100000 a year. l believe this is an
exaggeration: but if it is correct,
all the more reason why the amend
ment should not be approved"
