The bill now is pending before congress, “This is like scuttling the ship to get rid of the rats,’’ the copper industry leader declared in pointing out that the proposed ‘“‘regulation of security exchanges is acadamic”’ when considering that the ‘primary intent and effect. of the so-called stock exchange bill is an attempted destruction of doing business in a corporate form.” Mr. Jackling declared that ‘‘natural processes of an economic kind are forging actual improvements,” but that “new and hitherto untried influences” are ‘‘muddying the water’’ and retarding improvements resulting from natural origins.

Russell, chairman of the Yolo board ;and Tom Hurley of San _ Diego County. Deterding declared that the counties, if necessary, should go around the state organization and deal with the federal government directly. He said Sacramento County is opposed to borrowing any money from the state bond issue and declared he believes the $20,000,000 bond issue was passed by misrepresentation.

He revealed that in San Diego county a director entirely unfamiliar with county conditions was sent in overnight by the relief administration,. “We want some man we Can -depend on’’ Hurley said, ‘‘and although he may entirely honest, we want someone who is familiar with our local conditions.
