THIS AND THAT
To many of us, banks are the very
ymbols: of wealth—and banks and
Griticism on the grounds of their
supposed bloated prosperity. But, go_
ing by official Reserve Board figures, banking isn’t nearly so _ profitable as: we may believe. The aggregate net profit of the 288 Federal Reserve Banks in this district were but
$28,800,000 last year, as against
$36,200,000 in 1937 and $40, 235,000 in 1936. Decline was largely astribed t6 increases in losses and depreciation. So it looks as if even
bankers have their troubles,
The Forest Service is doing a. mag_
nificet work in seeking to repair the
ravages of fire in California forests.
This spring more than a million pine
seedlings were planted on thousands
of fire swept acres. According to
Regional Forester Snow, “if forest
fires ‘can be kept out of ‘timbered
areas we’ eventually will reclaim considerable areas for recreation, wattershed value and wild life refuges.”
That is a big ‘if’? indeed. For the

reforestation work—but remember,
it won’t do any good unless you help

The electric. utilities may be the
big, bad wolves the politicians paint
them, but, from. the standpoint of
rates, they seem to be rather nice
wolves. The other day, for instance,
Pacific Gas and Electric rates were
reduced $3,200,000 -per: year. And
this brings the réductions made by
the company since the start of 1934,
to more than. $18,000,000 a year.
Electric rates have gone down $12,000,000 and gas rates $6,400,000.
Rate reductions have been made in
every one of the last six years.
Which means, of course, that more}
people can use more power for more
purposés—and still hold their bills
to modest proportions.

BILL IS URGED
FOR ENACTMENT
SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.—Definite progress toward enactment of
the ‘‘Poor .Litigant’’ law by the state
by Claude Minard, secretary of the
State Bar.
The pending* measure, known as
Assembly Bll 2536,-is desgned to remove -present stumbling blocks in
“the way of poor persons who have
valid claims to be heard by the court.
Under present laws, it is necessary
for all persons to pay: filing fees,
jury fees and other court costs before being permitted.to submit their
disputes to a court for settlement.
To remedy. this unfortunate situation, which frequently results in
grave njustice, the State Bar is actively urging enactment of the assembly bill, which has just been reported out of the judiciary committee with a “do pass’? recommendation Minard pointed out.
“The present fee system is based
on a somewhat false assum'ption that
every person has the money to meet

New homes got almost $5,000,000 of

FINISH BATTLE
ON CHALLENGE
SACRAMENTO, June 1.—A finish
battle against a bill that would give
attorneys the right to challenge
judges and disqualify them from
sitting on a case simply iby the chalSenator Jerrold L. Seawell of Roseing in the state senate.
“One of the most vicious bills. before this session of the legislature”
was the way Senator Seaiwell described the measure. ‘
“This type of legislation ‘would
‘break down our judicial system and
in plain English, give any attorney
the right to remove a judge elected
by the people if the attorney personally felt the judge should not preside
over the case.”
Such a system, if approved, would
work a hardship in small counties
where it would be necessary to bring
in a new judge from another county
at expnese to the county taxpayers,
Seawell said. In addition, the cost
court also would have to be borne by
sible under the bill, he said, for even
a& second or third judge to be disqualified simply at thé whim of a
lawyer.

50 MILLIONS TO
ECONOMY BLOC
SACRAMENTO, June 1.—Efforts
of the state legislature. “economy
bloc” will save-the people of California more than fifty million doklars during the next two years, it was
predicted today in a statement by Assemblyman Charles Lyon of Los Angeles, Republican floor leader in the
assemlbly.
“We feel well rewarded for our
‘efforts for economy, made in the face
of bitter verbal abuse by Governor
Olson and his henchmen in the senate and assembly,’ Assemblyman
Lyon said.
The Republican leader, a veteran
of 24 years service in the legislature
mentioned specifically the saving of
$15,000,000 made on Governor OIson’s record high budget Dill; thé
$23,000,000 made on the bill to provide relief funds for the: next biennium and an estimated $9,000,000
sought by the governor for automatie salary increases ‘for state é6mployeee.
“‘Regarding the latter item, wé
feel state employees should be rewarded for merit by salary increase
and promotions. to better jobs, but
we fail to see why taxpayers should
pay increased salaries to state employees just because they have worked another year at their jobs,” hé
said.
Lyon also scored Governor Olson’s
boosting of already high salaries te
“administration favorites.” In this
classification ‘he . mentioned State
Relief Administrator Dewey Anderson, whose salary was jumped from
$6000 to $10,000 before he even had
a chance to demonstrate capacity to
handle his duties.
Revealing that Governor Olson has
had transferred from the state emerg_
ency fund to his secret service fund.
$18,000 in the four months he has
been tn off 3e Lwo pro’ daca
bill requiring approval by the independently elected state controller of
all such transfers, in addition to the
approval of the state finance director, who is appointed by the governor. “This change should save many
thousands of dollars for the struggling taxpayers,’’ Lyons said.
