His address to the Economic Club of Detroit seemed to reveal an increasing apprehension in official Washington that the tax load has grown too great for the country to carry. Senator Harrison admitted that “the country is suffering ‘More accurately, the disease is high tax pressure. And he also admitted that the government ‘had been compelled to tap every possible source of revenue and could go little further in balancing the budget by means from high blood pressure.” of increased taxation. The alternative is a drastic reduction in expenditures. Senator Harrison warns that these reductions must largely be made in relief and other emergency spending. Of necessity the government, if the Nation is to remain solvent, must aid and encourage industry so that it can take over much of the load bv providing work and wages. The senator from Mississippi finds that excessive taxation has reached the danger point of diminishing returns. The well is going dry from which the pump was primed.

GOVERNMENT — COST STATE IN °38, 250 MILLIONS By HARRY B. RILEY, State Controller The total cost of state government for the year ending June 30, 1938 was $259,548,524.83.

In prior years, counties first expended the moneys and were feimbursed by the state upon the presentation of vouchers.

WITH YOUR ASSEMBLYMAN “SCOOP” THURMAN AT THE STATE CAPITOL While the first week of the state legislature saw little action other than the passing of the emergency relief appropriation, nevertheless there ‘were a total of some two hundred bills introduced in the Assembly and on Monday of this week a number of additional bills were introduced. There will of course be no action upon these numerous bills until the various committees are organized and the bills go to their respective committees. In addition to more than two hundred bills being introduced in the Assembly there have lbeen large numbers of bills introduced in the Senate. This being the ‘first term of your assemblyman, of course everything is new. However we are fast becoming acquainted with the other mem‘bers and with the procedure. Your former assemblyman, State Senator Jesse Mayo, has assisted greatly in my becoming acquainted with the older members of the state legislature. We appreciate most sincerely his courtesy to us on our new job. The writer is working with the four state senators of the district, Jerrold Seawell, Jesse Mayo, A. P. Pierovich and Charles Borwne, toward the appointment of a member of the state fish and game commission from this district. We plan to call on Governor Olson when he returns to his desk and ask. that our district be considered when he makes his appointments on this highly important commission. I am hoping that I will be assigned to the fish and game committee of the assembly. I have asked Speaker Paul Peek for the committee appointment and if successful know that I can be of service to the sportsmen in the district. ‘Bills placing a severance tax on resources have already been introduced and I need not.tell the readers of The Nugget that this action is of vital importance to the district. Such a tax would injure our mining industry. It is our opinion, however, th such a. bill will not pass, Your assemblyman was among the first group of legislators who were sworn in on Monday, January 2. The members are sworn in by counties in alphabetical order and so I answered the roll call when Amador county was called and took the oath of office with the assemblymen from Alameda, Butte and Colusa counties. An assemblyman only responds ‘when the first of his counties is called. Los Angeles, county alone, with some thrty assemblymen, was called by districts, it requiring two or three groups from that county taking the oath of office at a time. There has been considerable newspaper talk to the effect that the Republicon block in the assembly was opposing certain measures of the administration, including the emergeney relief measure which passed the assembly last week with an unanimous vote. We would like to inform the readers of this newspaper that there is no such thing as a Republican block organized to oppose administration measures. Those of us who are Republicans are here representing the people of our district regardless of party and we have no block organized to oppose the administration in the assembly. ; _ The writer had his first opportunity of presenting a resolution .before the assembly this week when a joint Movie Cameras and Films . i i _j'Tesolution sponsored in the senate by Senator Jerrold Seawell came up for consideration iby the lower house. The resolution had to do with the certificates of amendments to the charter of the City of Roseville which were ratified by the voters of that city in an election. The assembly gave the resolution an unanimous vote. In asking for an unanimous vote favorable to the resolution the writer was somewhat afraid that in his Pay Only $5 (This sale demands action Super Powered 6/. Cubic Ft. 9g Monthly Payments, Carrying Charge islator is greeted upon his first 'request with “‘‘no’’ votes which afterwards are changed to “yes’’ votes. However, only two or three ‘red” votes appeared on the board and these were quickly changed to green. A feature of polling the vote in . . the assembly is the electric voting machine which by the press of a button flashes green lights for ‘‘yes’’ votes and ‘‘red’” lights for no votes 9. two large boards, one on. eith: side of the speaker’s desk.” These boards contain the names of the eighty assemblymen in alphabetical order and along side’edch name is a red and a green button which lights up as the assemblymen press the buttons on their desk, according to the way they vote. The writer had the pleasure of introducing to the members of the assembly, Roy Mikkelsen, champion ski jumper; Paul Claiborne and Fred Tuttle, all of Auburn on Tuesday. The people of the Placer-Nevada area can well feel proud of their state senator Jerrold Seawell of Roseville, who, on the opening dav of the legislature, was elected president pro tempore of the senate.
