Seated at his desk in “the corner room,downstairs,’’, Governor Frank Finley Merriam listens. As he listens he hears. strange sounds emanating from two large rooms in the wings of the Capitol building. He might well hum to himself as he listens, ‘“Who’s that rapping, always rapping, rapping all my bills?” This question would not be easy to answer—in one sentence, for the administration has been getting raps from all sides during the opening days of this important session. The first set-back the governor re ceived was from the courts. After he had appointed Thomas~—M. Foley recently, claiming the legal right to appoint a successor to John P. Brennan as chairman of the state veterans’ welfare board, Superior Judge J. O. Moncur ruled that Brennan still had legal right to the position. _ .Elated, Brennan set about immediately to sell a $3,000,000 biock of the $30,000,000 veterans’-bonds. Meanwhile, Foley plans to institute quo. warranto proceedings in the supreme court to contest Brennan’s right tothe chairmanship. '. This tiff is nothing, however, as compared to some of the attacks on MerTiam’s proposed tax and road mee dation pregrams. The administration has counted on the Seuate to back its measures. In this house Merriam has believed his Republican strength secure, even though his power in the lower house js continually threatened by Progressive Re. publicans. With the Jong session less than a -week old, a solon’s bloc is forming in the Senate which is ‘Opposing ten of the governor’s'tax measures. With Colbert L. Glson, Los Angeles Democrat, as one of the leaders, this group, has written a tax program which proposes to raise $283,500,000, $100, 000,000 of it to be collected by an income tax. This income tax figure has. been cut in half since, hecause Democrats feared losing Progressive Republican backing. Strengthening of this ‘bloc in the upper house means rough water ahead for the good ship budget. Most of the revenue under the Dem' ocratic tax plan, would be raised from six sources, the biggest amount coming from the sales tax, although $21,000,000 ! would be clipped from the present collection total. Next most lucrative source would he from an income tax; $50,000,000. Then comes a $35,000,000 severance levy, and a: $33,000,000 bank and corporation franchise tax. Twenty «million would be raised’ from stateowned or operated liquor stores, and $19,000,600 from an inheritance levy. Other sources would bring in smaller amounts. Added Worries To add.to his worries, Governor Merriam is finding strong opposition to his road consolidation plan, one of his pet proposals. The latest power to oppose him on this issue is none other than Controller Ray L. Riley, who declared that no one political machine can treat all the people fairly. While Riley said that he did not for ‘ a moment doubt Merriam’s sincerity in i desiring to save the state money, he saw grave responsibilities of some future power-grebbing aiministration making a veritai:le dict: ‘orship out of the unified cont: 01 of ro ds. At a recent board of sup<: visors meeting it was pointed out furiher th:. since state employes usually can he relied on:to vote for the powers that ire, if all the roads were under ore herd, the administration could count on some<300,000 votes from stateem loves and their relatives. If this isn't enough opposition to keep the administration fighting every minute ‘to maintain its program, Merriam brought a challenge from the Assembly recently on his Townsend Plan “approval. The governor declared himself in favor of the basic principles of the plan. The Assembly asked Merriam to appear before that body and clarify his statement, In last year’s gubernatorial campaign attempts were made to drag this issue into:California politics. Dr. Townsend, then in southern California, said that the’issue was non-political as far ‘as this state is concerned. Democrats now claim that Merriam wishes the plan could have remained out of politics. Looks as if his opposition will make an issue of it, though. The whole trouble started when a Merriam-supported proposal was submitted to the Assembly. The bill was to memorialize Congress to “incorporate in a national old age pension plan the principles and objectives of the Townsend plan.” Hearing of Merriam’s stand, Dr. F. E. Townsend declared from Washington, that the governor’s recent remarks on the subject was a “forerunner of many other powerful voices.” . _ So far this Letter has told of nothing but grief for the administration. The one-sided picture that has been drawn is merely to show what Merriam is up against. Politicians say that if he is a fighter, he can successfully oppose the strong -factions which have lined up against him. Mere politics, however, will avail lim little. Utilities in Spotlight The utility companies found them‘selves in the limelight during the opening days of the session. The governor again hit at the delay in utility tax transfer to the counties. There is a strong faction here at the capitol who would retain the present setup, keeping the receipts on. the state rolls, at least during the coming biennium -until the state government is in smooth financial waters. The transfer is a major one, involving $30,900,000 a year. It was on another. issue, however, that the utilities drew most attention. The bright light of publicity was turned on salaries paid officials and contributions made to various influential organizations in California by the large utilities companies. An Assembly vote of 47 ayes to 24 noes aceeded to Assemblyman Elmer Lore’s request to have an entire report of the state railroad commission printed in the lower house journal. This " report revealed some interesting facts, among them heing the fact that while business was conceded to be not so good as yet on the Pacific Coast generally, it was good enough for the Pacific Gas and Electric Company to pay its president, A. F. Hockenbeamer, $70, 273.95 for his 1934 salary. Fifty-seven officials, engineers and attorneys of that organization: received salaries of more than $5000 during 1934. Salaries and expenses for these officials amounted to $613,808.55. In addition, $21,800.95 was contributed to clubs and associations, while $8,139.81 was given to the California Taxpayers Association and $7,521 to the State Chamber of Commerce. The Southern California Edison Com; pany, Ltd., southern California’s Jargest privately-owned power company, paid its president, Harry J. Bauer, $45,504. Fifty-one officials of this company received over $5000, for a total of $488,973.67, plus $13,416 in expenses. The company’s contributions oe ed to $62,421.62. Similar high-bracketed salaries were registered in the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company, the San Joaquin Light and Power Corporation and other large utility corporations. Aé to.the proposed delay in transfer of utilities’ taxes from state to county coffers, Merriam has voiced his opposition, although he declared he does not intend to make it a personal iasue. “My position is that it would be impossible to bring about e delay in the cunt of the property,” @eclared the : governor, “and, therefore, I can’t encourage @ movement of that kind.”In the Assembly is a measure which would delay, the Riley-Stewart transfer for two years. If this measure is passed. the issue must go before the people for vote. Merriam. believes this issue should be. settled immediately, since counties and cities due to receive the taxes under the existing setup desire to know right away whether they can count on : the money or not, so they can make up ~~. : their budgets accordingly. Many counties have already included the money in their budgets. i son, who propose the delay, said that their measure was drawn up in order to avoid some of Merriam’s proposed special taxes. NRA, Farms, Prisons . Attempts were made at the January: legislative session to rusb through a series of bills as “’emergency”’ meas ures. One such bill, pertaining to mortgage and trust deed moratoriums, was dramatically hurried through. Among the measures which didn’t make the grade as emergency or extra rush proposals was a group which would force the state to interfere in the regulation of private business. In other words, the bills contain a state NRA code. Legislators have been looking over these measures since the convening of the second session. After some investigation, there seems to be a generai opinion here that no such code is needed in California, at least none administered by the state. Assemblyman Charles W. Lyon said that a code bill will be given a hearing on March 20. He added: “With general economic recovery progressing as rapidly as it is, I do not ‘believe business regulation through state codes is necessary.” Other legislators have taken a similar stand. although all say they will be glad to be present at the hearing, if only as a matter of Icgislative courtesy. It is admitted by inost politicans that the reason they do not like the bill is due to the partial fi: ‘lure of the penerey NRA. The Assembly :,riculture and ves stock committee his heen busy working over the sheaf of bills pertaining to various phases of California farm life. The commillee gave a do pass” recommendation to AB 36, which is aimed at unscrupulous canners and other processors who. buy farm prod: ucts at an agreed price, and who, after receiving the goods, fail to make payment. . Secretary W. P. Wing of the California Wool Growers asked the committee to include meat slaughterers in this measure, citing many instances where sheep men have failed to receive payment. The committee also reported favorably on AB 367, which would make California quarantine. provisions applicable to produce shipments which federal quarantine laws, and on AB 432, which would appropriate $25,000 for spray pears and other fruits. mittee as the hearing date on AB 915 and 957, state prorate act. Senator: Charles Reindollar, ‘ County, chairman of the Senate prisons spection trip of Folsom Prison, opti“mistic over conditions he found prevailing there. ““We found conditions excellent,” he said. When questioned about overcrowding, he added, “Overcrowding will not be alleviated unless we are able to establish a prison farm to take care of some of the inmates.”Legislators seem to favor establish. ing such farms or prison road camps rather than expecting to house prison overflows in new institutions.

Politicians say that if he is a fighter, he can successfully oppose the strong -factions which have lined up against him. Mere politics, however, will avail lim little. Utilities in Spotlight The utility companies found them‘selves in the limelight during the opening days of the session. The governor again hit at the delay in utility tax transfer to the counties. There is a strong faction here at the capitol who would retain the present setup, keeping the receipts on. the state rolls, at least during the coming biennium -until the state government is in smooth financial waters. The transfer is a major one, involving $30,900,000 a year. It was on another. issue, however, that the utilities drew most attention. The bright light of publicity was turned on salaries paid officials and contributions made to various influential organizations in California by the large utilities companies. An Assembly vote of 47 ayes to 24 noes aceeded to Assemblyman Elmer Lore’s request to have an entire report of the state railroad commission printed in the lower house journal. This

" report revealed some interesting facts, among them heing the fact that while business was conceded to be not so good as yet on the Pacific Coast generally, it was good enough for the Pacific Gas and Electric Company to pay its president, A. F. Hockenbeamer, $70, 273.95 for his 1934 salary. Fifty-seven officials, engineers and attorneys of that organization: received salaries of more than $5000 during 1934. Salaries and expenses for these officials amounted to $613,808.55. In addition, $21,800.95 was contributed to clubs and associations, while $8,139.81 was given to the California Taxpayers Association and $7,521 to the State Chamber of Commerce. The Southern California Edison Com; pany, Ltd., southern California’s Jargest privately-owned power company, paid its president, Harry J. Bauer, $45,504. Fifty-one officials of this company received over $5000, for a total of $488,973.67, plus $13,416 in expenses. The company’s contributions oe ed to $62,421.62. Similar high-bracketed salaries were registered in the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company, the San Joaquin Light and Power Corporation and other large utility corporations. Aé to.the proposed delay in transfer of utilities’ taxes from state to county coffers, Merriam has voiced his opposition, although he declared he does not intend to make it a personal iasue. “My position is that it would be impossible to bring about e delay in the cunt of the property,” @eclared the : governor, “and, therefore, I can’t encourage @ movement of that kind.”In the Assembly is a measure which would delay, the Riley-Stewart transfer for two years. If this measure is passed. the issue must go before the people for vote. Merriam. believes this issue should be. settled immediately, since counties and cities due to receive the taxes under the existing setup desire to know right away whether they can count on : the money or not, so they can make up ~~. : their budgets accordingly. Many counties have already included the money in their budgets. i son, who propose the delay, said that their measure was drawn up in order to avoid some of Merriam’s proposed special taxes. NRA, Farms, Prisons . Attempts were made at the January: legislative session to rusb through a series of bills as “’emergency”’ meas ures. One such bill, pertaining to mortgage and trust deed moratoriums, was dramatically hurried through. Among the measures which didn’t make the grade as emergency or extra rush proposals was a group which would force the state to interfere in the regulation of private business. In other words, the bills contain a state NRA code. Legislators have been looking over these measures since the convening of the second session. After some investigation, there seems to be a generai opinion here that no such code is needed in California, at least none administered by the state. Assemblyman Charles W. Lyon said that a code bill will be given a hearing on March 20. He added: “With general economic recovery progressing as rapidly as it is, I do not ‘believe business regulation through state codes is necessary.” Other legislators have taken a similar stand. although all say they will be glad to be present at the hearing, if only as a matter of Icgislative courtesy. It is admitted by inost politicans that the reason they do not like the bill is due to the partial fi: ‘lure of the penerey NRA. The Assembly :,riculture and ves stock committee his heen busy working over the sheaf of bills pertaining to various phases of California farm life. The commillee gave a do pass” recommendation to AB 36, which is aimed at unscrupulous canners and other processors who. buy farm prod: ucts at an agreed price, and who, after receiving the goods, fail to make payment. . Secretary W. P. Wing of the California Wool Growers asked the committee to include meat slaughterers in this measure, citing many instances where sheep men have failed to receive payment. The committee also reported favorably on AB 367, which would make California quarantine. provisions applicable to produce shipments which federal quarantine laws, and on AB 432, which would appropriate $25,000 for spray pears and other fruits. mittee as the hearing date on AB 915 and 957, state prorate act. Senator: Charles Reindollar, ‘ County, chairman of the Senate prisons spection trip of Folsom Prison, opti“mistic over conditions he found prevailing there. ““We found conditions excellent,” he said. When questioned about overcrowding, he added, “Overcrowding will not be alleviated unless we are able to establish a prison farm to take care of some of the inmates.”Legislators seem to favor establish. ing such farms or prison road camps rather than expecting to house prison overflows in new institutions.
