” WITH YOUR ASSEMBLYMAN
SCOOP THURMAN
AT THF STATE CAPITOL
As the assembly began its delibera-.
tions this week one of the first items
under consideration was the old age .
pension bill, which last week had!
been amended to eliminate the
elause that no relative of an aged
person would be held responsible for
his or her support. Also the lower
house amended the bill to restore the
clause which reinstated the provision .
several additional millions of dollars
that the counties shall pay but $5 as)
lits share of the old age pension.
The relatives responsibility clause
is one of the controversial issues in
the pension bill which calls for a
pension of $50 a month to aged persons.65 years and over. Those opposed to the elimination of the relative
clause state that it will cost the state

and also contend there is a moral
obligation involved. Those opposing
believe that the aged persons should
share alike in the distribution pensions whether they have relatives
who could contribute to their support or not.
It is a hotly contested issue and
'may delay the passage of the pension
bill as it now stands.
The alien land law bill by, Senator
Engle which will tighten up the law
as it pertains to Japanese, passed the
lower house last week. The writer
and other legislators introduced similar bills but inasmuch.as all of the
features of the other bills are conPtained in the Engle bill, these will
not be taken up.
While both houses have passed the
adjournment resolution setting the
date of, May 15th as the final day of
the session it is doubtful if the work
of the session will be completed by
that time and in this writer’s opinion we will be working under a stopped clock for two ‘or three days.
There are several hundred bills on
the file yet to come up for consideration and as many of these bills are
of a controversial nature it will naturally slow up the work of tthe two
* houses.
The constitutional amendment introduced to permit the people to
vote on the question of moving the
state capitol to Monterey is again
before the legislature, introduced hy
the assemblyman from’ that district.
This peice of legislation appears to
have the Sacramento legislators and
the people of.the capitol city more or
less alarmed. Both Sacramento newspapers are vigorously opposing the
bill. This writer feels certain that
the proponents of the measure cannot secure the necessary 54 votes to
pass it in the lower house and wel
feel certain that if the measure ever
reached tthe upper house it would die
in committee. It would, in otrr opinion, be foolish to move the capitol
with all of its historic back ground
away from Sacramento to ‘Monterey
or any other place. As one legislator
says: ‘‘the proposal is fantastic.’’.
DEPUTY SHERIFF RESIGNS
Willard J. O’Hara, deputy sheriff,
is resigning his post, effective May
first. He plans to enter defense industry. He was formerly manager of
Grass Valley branch of a large Northern California grocery chain. Sheriff Carl J. Tobiassen announced the
resignation of O’Hara with regret.
: Tie railroads are carrying a tremendous load of
war freight as well as troops and their equipment. This freight must be moved quickly,
efficiently and without delay, for this is vital to
the war effort. This freight includes equipment
for our armed forces, materials for shipyards,
airplane factories and other plants whose products are needed to win the war,

. Nevada. Theatre had its first showLike most other industries the railroads are short
of manpower, and unfortunately many freight
, trains were delayed in California last year for
lack of brakemen.
As an example of delays, one California
railroad alone had 226 trains delayed from
15 minutes to 22 hours during a ten day
period in October, for lack of brakemen.
Other roads had similar difficulties in meeting
their wartime responsibility. As our war effort
: is increased, particularly on the West Coast, the
i railroads will have more and more passengers
and freight to carry. 1943 will exceed 1942 in
train movements.
{ An important factor in the shortage of brakemen in California is the California ‘Full Crew
Law,” which specifies the number of brakemen
on trains according to their length and the
grades on which the trains operate,
There are only 14 states out of the 48 which

The California “Full Crew Law” was passed ~
way back in 1911 and the California railroads contend that there are no reasons
now for the excessive number of brakemen
required by the California law. And brakemen will still have plenty of employment,
for during the war emergency there will
be no necessity to ‘make work” for any
class of railroad employees, including
brakemen.
You know the importance of railroad freight
transportation in the war effort. You have
proved this by a considerate and understanding
attitude when passenger trdins have been deélayed by freight traffic. We are therefore issuing this frank statement in order that you
may know our problem, what we are asking of
the legislature, and why.
“Make production” and not ‘‘make work”
legislation is our country’s need now.

FOREST RANGERS
TIMETONIGHT“~The Forest Rangers,” thrilling
‘out-of-doors romance in technicolor
long awaited by the patrons of the
ing yesterday afternoon at a matinee
and the regular shows last night and
tonight. ‘
Out-of-doors and_ particularly a
forest fire is the perfect set-up for
an -effective use of technicolor, and
when you place two beauteous redheads like Pauline Goddard and Susan Hayward against a background
of brilliant, greens, browns and scarlets, you have a scenic beauty sufficient ‘to enchant the eye of every
audience in the country.
However “Forest Rangers’’ doesn’t
rely on eye appeal alone. For one
thing, the activities of the rangers
who ingeniously fight forest conflagrations in government protected
woods by the use of modern science
is a real revelation.
