We expect to visit the balance of the district later during the year. This week the various committees began to function and your representative found it a real busy week with committee meetings on each day of the week. These various committees will -thandle the nearly four during the first half of the session. During the second half of the session each legislator is allowed to introduce but two bills, or a total of 240 aidditional bills. Speaking of bills, many people perhaps have an idea that these bills all represent new laws to be enacted. This is of course not correct. The majority of these some 4000 bills are amenidmients to existing laws and in many cases they repeal other laws. On the whole, very few new laws are added to the siatutes. The budget will probably be one of the first matiters to be taken up during the second half of the session.

Havenner of San Francisco and wohilld provide for the legalization of United States coinage in amounts of less than one cent, The bill would authorize the Secretary of the Treasury, with the approval of the President, “ito provide for the coinage of fractional minor coins in such denominations of less than one cent and not less than one mii}.’’ In explaining the necessity of the measure, Stewart pointed out that almost one half of the states now levy a sales tax and that this type of tax applies to the purchases made by approximately ‘three fourths off the population of the United States. “Difficulties in passing on the tax accurately from retailers to consum-~ ers have been enicountered ‘in states which depend on the sales tax for an important part of their reventues,’’ Stewart said. “Through the legalization of coins of fractional amounts of a cent, So reon oil sounds RUB IN— MINIT-RUB Double relief from stiff, strain+ ed, or aching ‘muscles, simple have been very busy during the rainy season.

These bills would provide aid for disabled persons, including tubercular ex-patients, To these friends who have written us we wish to say that we will bear -their request in mind and do our level best in their behalf. However, we must bear in mind the matter of increased taxes if financial aid is to ‘be increased in the state. Mor that reason your assemlblyman si not committing himself on any matter at present which would add to the expemse of the taxpayer. We know the problem of the tubercular ex-patient and have their interests at heart and we sincerely hope that some way can be found to give them aid. The relief and pension problem is ene of the biggest problems which the legislators. have to face. And it is an intreasing problem for the taxpayer to meet. As your assemblyman I want to be fair.to both the taxpayer and the needy persons, but I have no sympathy for the chiselers and feel that if the chiselers could be weeded out we might well spend our relief money for aid to such deserving persons as tubercular expatients. Your assemblyman. believes that our relief and old age persion probJem should be a national problem and that we shoulld have a national tax of some kind to meet this ever increasing tax load on our state, the heavy migratory influx into our state for a period of time before they can become eligible for relief. In the meantime some one has to care for many of ‘these people and the burden usually falls on the counties through their welfare boards or the citizens at large, because no one is going to see human beings starve. ‘ In this connection we have received several resolutions from the various boards of supervisors in our dis-. the cei ot TUE RECORD-oce Fa cts That Concern You al 7 THROUGH FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AGENCIES, A SHARE OF THE NATION'S HUGE $400 MILLION YEARLY BEER REVENUE COMES BACK TO BENEFIT THIS COMMUNITY BEER'S nation-wide taxes of a million dollars a day make it possible for the government to provide many things that would otherwise increase everybody’s taxes. the brewers beer must give no offense to anyone.
