TAYLOR Use of state relief funds as a bludgeon to compel California farmers to ay higher farm wages—an unwarranted and arbitrary step which the present state administration has taken in several instances recently— constitutes an exceedingly dangerous departure from sound public policy. It is not only unsound; it is unfair to every farmer and every taxpayer, many of whom are themselves fighting to eke out an existence. And it is a blunder which should be speedily corrected if California’s public officials expect California’s farmers to continue to pay taxes and GRIZZLY BEARS RANGED STATE AS LATE AS 1925 BERKELEY, June 8.—Evidence that the California grizzly bear rang_ ed in the state as late as 1925, and that many of the ‘brave tales of the encounters between grizzlies and the pioneers in the early days were mostly mythical, has come to the Muueum of Verterbrate Zoology of the University of California. This evidence, gathered from many sources, has been compiled in a paper by Dr. E. Raymond Hall, acting director of the museum, intended for the archives of the California State Fish and Game Commission. ; According to this eviddnee the last grizzly killed im California ‘was support public relief rolls. When the farmer finds his own} money, given to support the needy,’ being used to force him to pay wages still support his own family—he is' likely to see ‘‘red’’. And he is likely to stop paying! The action of the State Relief Administration in Madera county, for would be granted to those who refus_. ed to work'in the county’s cotton fields for less than 27% cents an! hour already has brought bitter condemnation from the Madera county 300 business men and farmers of the district. It is charged that the administration’s ruling had the effect of arbitrarily setting up a minimum wage . of 27% cents an hour, as against a prevailing wage for cotton chopping! of 20 cents an hour. It is also charged that farmers of the district simply cannot pay the higher scale and stay in business: And the grand jury, in its ‘Tesolution, bluntly challenged the right of the State Relief Administration, or any other agency, to dictate “‘to citizens who provide employment and pay taxes.” It is a protest which the state officials at Sacramento will do well to! heed, for California farmers, after years of depression and struggle for survival, eannot afford to go on harvesting and marketing their crops at a loss—even to satisfy the tax collector. There is still another aspect to the (problem which deserves consideration. Bills were submitted to the state degislature now in session to set up a Wages and Hour Act, with minimum wage scales and maximum work hours, but were refused passage. If such legislation can be justified —and farmers will not admit that it can be, when they have no way of controlling the “‘wages’’ which are paid them for their crops—it should at least have the approval of the state’s duly elected legislative body. Certainly, no department head nor officer of state government Has the right to “legislate” on such a matter by arbitrarily decreeing rules and. regulations which run contrary to. the action of the legislature. And when state officers go into a: district where the prevailing wage, for a certain type of labor is 20 cents an hour and offer relief to anyone who refuses to work for less got 27% cents an hour, there can be no} denial that they, are seeking to es. tes ‘ which he can’t afford to pay—and' example, in announcing that relief) brought down by Jesse B. Agnew in ; August, 1922, at Horse Corral Meadows in Tulare county. Later information supplied by John R. White superintendent of equoia and General Grant National Parks, was to the effect that another grizzly, possibly . the mate of the one killed at Horse Corral’ Meadows, later frequented the parks. It was lats reported seen by a cattleman in 1925, evidently the last survivor of the species, and it is supposed that, sometime in that year, it disappeared into the mount‘ains and died. The weight of some of the oldgrand jury and a mass meeting of . time grizzlies was claimed to be, around 2,000 pounds, but Dr. Hall . states that he has evidence that the ldrgest of them did not exceed 1,200 pounds. The captive “Monarch” which
lived in Golden Gate park, San Francisco, for years. was the largest known grizzly of his time and his weight at death was 1,127 pounds. According to Dr. Hall he was remark_ ably fat at the end of his life. © Few people now living, have seen grizzly bears in the state, Dr. Hall says. Their avoidance of man and his pursuits and the fact that they were often mistaken for other bear species greatly minimized the possibility of their encounters with anyone but the hunters who sought them out. One of these, George Nidever, is supposed to have killed 45 grizzlies in the neighborhood of San Luis Obispo in the year 1837, and to have established the record as the greatest of all grizzly slayers. The museum is anxious to obtain all possible grizzly bear specimens ithat may he available anywhere, as science was unable to fully study the life and habits of this great beast bebefore it was exterminated. Gus Orzalli was a business visitor in Marysville Thursday. tablish minimum wage scales without benefit of supporting legislation. (California farmers, through the years, have -consistently paid the highest wage scales paid to farm labor anywhere in the United States. . And no one regrets their inability to pay good wages at the present time ,amy more than the farmers themselves. But to use a homely expression: “You can’t get blood out of,a ; turnip!” And California fanmers simply haven’t got it to pay—no mat_ter what -big-hearted relief officials may think about it. The State Reelief Administration needs to back up and take another} look at the situation.ANCIENT SPRING . , : -OF FERTILITY {5° REDISCOVERED SAIN FRANCISCO, June 8.—The legendary “El Polin” or “Spring of Fertility’ in the Presidio of San Francisco, which for centuries served as a shrine for Indian and white parents desiring children, has been relocated, after its supposedly magic waters had been flowing away unnoticed for more than sixty years. The spring is being uncovered from its deep, marshy bed so that it may be viewed by the many Golden Gate Internation:l Exposition visitors who have placec the Presidio on their itineraries. The relocating of the spring by Dr. J. N. Bowman, historian and former research worker in the University of California, was an incident in an exhaustive study of central California adobe buildings and land grants now being mad bey G. W. Hendry, assstant professor of agronomy, and Dr. Bowman. In their search through musty old records, the investigators found a number of references to the spring. One map, made between 1849 and 1855, appeared to locate the fabled ‘“‘Aguiato de lo Concepcion,” as the Spaniards called it, as did a map made n 1877 by one James W. Weeks. From these and other long hidden records, Dr. Bowman was able to make mathe-}: matical and survey’ calculations which located the spring exactly. Further search revealed that the, chronicler William H. Davis knew of “El Polin’’ and its charm and _ in 1876 General Vallejo in a public address stated that the waters of the spring had supposedly brought many progeny to the Miramontes, Martinez, Sanchez, Soto, Briones and other families. The spring was once on the property of the Miramontes who had twenty children. Pilgrimages of hope ful parents came to the spring from all parts of the west. However, the spring seems to have disappeared from all records: after 1880, although its waters continued to flow at the head of the present MacArthur Avenue, a Presidio artery.
