The movement to save our highways from over-commercialization is today spreading rapidly throughout the State. 1» Whether or not anything will come of the plea depends entirely on those state officials who have control of such matters. But certainly the motorist and the taxpayer have at least two good reosans for raising the hue and cry. Obviously, the taxpayer doesn’t want to put out money building roads that are prematurely worn out by an excess of Fett heavy passenger and freight carrying vehicles. Obviously, the Motorist doesn’t want to be virtually crowded off the highway by ereat fleets of such vehicles. On the other hand, it is absolutely necessary aie farmer and many others to have adequate highway transportation. But objection is confined only to the excess, and to the alarmingly rapid increase. In 1923 there were 43,257 trucks on the road in Cale fornia. In 1924 the figure jumped to 193,871. During the years 1925 to 1929 it rose to 217,413. The following year trucks onthe road increased to 230,387. By 1931 there were 245,213. .\ Thus official registration figures show that in eight years they increased 201,956. If they increase as rapidly during the next eight years, by 1942 we should have about 442,000 trucks on our highways. With such a huge fleet, if we put 14 people in each carrier, the entire population of California could be moved out of the state in one trip! 4 If one tries to imagine what motoring would be like on highways used by this many of the heavy vehicles, or what road upkeep would cost, he can readily understand the plea _of the taxpayer and the motorist. =) Wie 4s Golden Coal Less frequently, now that recovery is under way, do we hear the phrases that lay bare the bitter core of such a phenomenon as~ ‘depression’ in a world so capable of producing an over-abundance of everything. Such words as. “starvation amid plenty,’ or “bfeadlines knee deep in wheat’’ no longer sprinkle the pages of newspapers. Yet today, economists told, us recently, a great majority of American people are living on second and third class diets —are not getting enereh food, or food of good guality. The tragedy of this soe clalion . is all too apparent. Not quite so obvious, however, is the promise this fact whispe:s of a new day's dawning in the not too far distant future: [+ emphasizes something we are all too prone to fozet; nam> that markets are not glutted, that demand is not, satiated, an that the American standard of living has never approached what it someday will be. If everyone lived on a first class diet of proper feed in proper Beans, business would soar some threefold or fourfold in lines‘engaged in the gigantic task of feeding America . —and that means some 21 per cent of all economic activity ~ of the nation. If everyone ee even the minimum in the way of modern comforts and conveniences, business in-all lines would _ swell to many times its present level. Reminders of this sort from time to time are valuable, lest .ve tire of the incessaré struggle and endless discussion of tedious efforts to adjust our economic structure. We must rememeber that all the machinery is there, and that by fitting it together properly we can boost the American standard of Jjiving beyond anything you ever conceived in your fondest dreams. A veritable flood of Ekan: a veritable flood of money _ into our government treasuries at lower tax rates; balanced budgets all around; and best of all a happy, well-fed populace with moments of leisure and the where-withal to enjoy them.

In the interest of economy and also because the funds to be used for relief in the future will be practically all out of the state treasury the office ence more will be located in the Capital city. Officials of the controller's office estimated the adminisg? raive force handling the SERA payments is being cut. throughout the state from 600 to 300 workers, with further rej ductions contemplated as the conditions warrant.
