Asscmblyman Declares
Requests Give Lie to
Economy Pledges

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 5.
Judging from his legisla-
tive program, Governor o.
son has the welfare of his
political machine in mind
rather than the welfare OF the
people of California, Asscmblyman
Clarence Walker of Westmorland
declared today.
That is the only conclusion that
can be reached" he said.
"Thc enormous amount the gov
crnor asks for relief bellies his pro-
tests that he intends to institute
efficiency and economy in the con-
duct of the state relief administra-
ton. while his staggering program
of new and additional taxes shows
complete disregard for welfare
of the people of California who al
ready arc suffering under the hard
ship of a tax burden equivalent
to Sl32.42 for every man, woman
and child in the state
Despite this feeling among lcgis-
lators, every piece of legislation
