RELIEF FUNDS
USED TO WHIP
UP FARM WAGES
By RALPH H. 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.

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.
