MUST . TIGHTEN BELT SAYS SEAWELL By CLEM WHITAKER Senator Jerrold L. Seawell of Roseville, president pro tem of the California State Senate, is a husky, lusty fellow who can sing “I’ve been working on the railroad’ with real gusto—because ‘Jerry’ used to do just that! In a political era notable for “brain trust’’ theorists and academic experimentalists the Honorable Mr. Seawell is a refreshing hard-boiled realist who calls his shots as he sees them. : And an interview with the ex-railroadman who now presides as the Senates ‘president pro tem though it produces little in the way of tendollar verbiage, quickly gets down to fundamentals. Here we go: Question: “What do you consider Senator Seawell, to be the major problem confronting the people of California?”’ Answer: ‘Extravagant _ spending and exorbitant taxation. We’ve spent so much on government that we’re wrecking the people who support government’’. : Question: ‘‘Now Senator, if that’s the case, what do you think the present State Legislature will do about it?’’ Answer: “T can’t speak for the whole Legislature, but most of the members of the Senate, I ‘believe, will go right down the line for a program of sensible ecenomy and retrenchment, if the taxpayers in their home districts will get busy and make known their sentiments. The public can have anything it wants from the Legislature, if it wants it bad enough to ask for it!” Question: ‘‘Now listen, Jerry (the interview has progressed to _ this stage informally), let’s get down to eases. Governor Olson’s budget calls for $63,000,000 in additional taxes. The relief problem is acute; our schools need adequate financing. Under the circumstances, is it possible to live within our present income without sacrificing necessary S0OVernmental services?” Answer: “If the State can’t live within its income, it will have failed where its citizens have succeeded. During the depression most of the people of California tightened uD their belts, cut the family overhead, eliminated luxuries—and somehow made outgo balance with income. The ae can do that, too—if the people want it bad enough to demand it—and no school budget need be cut; no unemployed need go hungry. But we can‘t do it if money for relief goes into flossy automobiles, State chauffers and a fat salary increase for the relief director. We've got to cut out the frills and get down to cases—just like the people back home!”’ ‘And that, in substance, sums up the views of Senator Seawell, the Senates president pro tem. If the people demand economy, he predicts they’ll get it. But if they want lawmakers. to “bring home: the bacon”’ in governmental luxuries, they’ll get that—-and new taxes with it. Mr. Seaiwell, however, has heard from home. His people, he says, want economy—and ‘he intends to give it to them!’ GASOLINE SALES SHOW 4 PCT. GAIN} SACRAMENTO, March 23.—Gasoline sales continued to increase last month according to the tax report for February, issued today by the State Board of Equalization. On the basis of motor vehicle fuel distributions for the month, sales amounted to: 123,583,802 gallons on which a tax of $3,707,514.06 was levied. This represented a gain of 4 per cent over the tax of '$3,564,705.33 levied for the same month of the previous year. The February total, however, was slightly under that for January when the gasoline tax amounted .to}]. $3,976,767.03. This total, in turn, was 4.57 per cent above that of January, 1938, the board reported. FIVE BOYS WIN FAIR TRIPS Five paper carriers of Nevada City have won’a trip to the fair on Treesure Island and will make the trip next Sunday. The youngsters winning this trip are Frank Richerson, Douglas Noble, Louis Butz, Melvin Maguire and Stanley Foreman. Mr. Noble and Mrs. Ellen Walmsley will accompany the children by auto to Sacramento and Mrs. Walmsley will then go with the group on the train to the bay city. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Sauvee and niece, Helen Provine, spent Sunday in Antioch visiting Mrs. Sauvees sister and other family members, COBRA VENOM IS CONVERTED INTO ANAESTHETIC SAN FRANCISCO, March 23.— Cobra venom, the fiercely toxic secretion of the large Asiatic snake, which kills thousands of humans annually, has been converted by the wizardry of science into what may be the most potent of all human pain killers, a ‘cerebral anaesthetic’ without any known equal. Treatment fornia Medical School prove ‘that the venom in solution, is immeasurably more potent than the strongest doses of morphine or other drugs in alleviating intractable pain. Furthermore, it leaves no toxic reaction and is not habin forming. This striking reversal of the cobras killing power was achieved first by Dr. David L. Macht, prominent pharmacologist of Baltimore, Md. The development was immediately followed up by the University of California Medical School and the preparation of one part venom to 5000 parts salt solution injected intra-muscularly into a patient suffering from the pain of stomach cancer, a pain so intense that a half grain or double dose of morphine had no effect. After the third injection of the venom solution it was found that no further morphine treatment ‘was necessary. After the fourth injeetion the pain had ‘become completely abolished. After the sixth injection, the patient was entirely free of pain for the period of a.week. Susequently the preparation was administered to a group of.patients in the University clinic who were suffering intractable pain from locomotor ataxia. The pain control achieved by the cobra venom was notably successful and gave rise to the supposition that the venom solution can alleviate many~-other types of intense pain without ill effect. Dr. Macht had developed the fact that the venom is similar in ‘chemical nature to morphine and that the chemical nucleus of each is closely related.-As the venom works on the nerves, unlike other snake venoms, which attack the life-sustaining properties of the ‘blood, the effect of the solution is to block out pain impulses as they impinge on the brain, thus forming a true “cerebral anaesthetic.”’ : The venom for the hospita was obtained through ‘the efforts of Miss Rose Steinhart, admissions assistant in the University clinics, the University having no funds with which to purchase the drug for experimental purposes. Bight members of the Willow Valley Tuesday club met at the home of (Mrs. Phil Harding Tuesday afternoon to enjoy a dainty luncheon and afternoon of fancy work. The meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. J. M. Hoff on Pine street. oi patients at the University of Cali-. ‘Bureau of MIGRANTS FROM EAST SHOW HIGH RATIO OF ILLS BERKELEY, March 23.—Conditions of health, sanitation and general living in the army of migrants and transients in California, which have called for strenuous state and federal action, are revealed in a report by the University of California Public Administration, made at the request of a number of the members: of the current. Legislature. s. The report,states that in one recent year approximately 90 per cent of the reported cases of typhoid in. all California occurred among the migrants. A year later three migrant labor camps revealed 84 cases of tuberculosis among the 70 families. A still more recent study of 1,000 migrant children by state agencies showed that more than 30 per. cent suffered from malnutrition and -rickets. Eigthey three per cent of the migratory children examined were found to ‘have physical defects of some sort. : Many of the tuberculous people were being forced to live solely on a diet of potatoes and onions and for most of them the payment of doctor, drug and hospital bills was ont of the question. Adequate state action was blocked because, at the time the University’s investigators were in the field, there were only 13 employes in the state’s Bureau of Epidemiology and Twherculosis. The State Bureau of Child-Hygiene had a personnel of three and the Bureau of Orthopedics, to physically defective children, consisted of one public health nurse. As against this the University people found that more than a quarter of a million people ‘‘in need of manual employment” or relief entered California by motor vehicle alone between July, 1935 and December, 1938, The figures do not include those who entered iby railroad or bus. Efforts of both the state and the nation to cope with this overwhelming problem through the establishment of comprehensive public health routines, subsistence farms and settlements and both direct and work relief are detailed in the study,! which is.expected to form the basis for further corrective legislation. The study was directed by Victor Jones, research assistant in the Bureau. . Alec Cameron at Atlan, British Columbia. is here visiting his sister, Mrs. A. C. Larsen. !
