Prat oly ioe Ciel sacra Ol yg hs oc hig area Sse giire 8 } bankers come in for a good deal of : GROCERY CO _FRIDAY, _JUNE 2, 1939. aes ne 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.

Ali ‘praise to the forest service for its reforestation work—but remember, it won’t do any good unless you help by doing your part to prevent forest fires in the future. 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. Two hundred and sixty million dollars is a lot of money. That’s a trite statement—but it’s not trite to report that that was the value of crops and livestock produced in the ten Southern California counties dur‘POORLITIGANT’ 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 Cas aw Poh po 0 Paha ek the expenses incident to his remedy ; Us ee hrough th rts’’ Minard deciarcrops were worth over $41,000,000 roe wy Sides and more than $77,500,000 went in-/ to the pockets of livestock men.

In a recent month, their assets rose to almost $3,000,000, and 2,637 thrifty accounts. Loans likewise are on the up—particularly in the home building field. New homes got almost $5,000,000 of savings and loan money_in the first quarter, and several millions more were loaned for refinancing, reconditioning, etc. The associations are carrying nearly $87,000,000 in first persons opened savings loans on their books.

The economy group is getting in some substantial licks. Proposals for new taxes or for increasing old ones have largely been met with scowling disapproval, and, as one observer says, the legislators seem to be trying to steer “a moderate coudse.’’ A pro465 So.

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.

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.
