Among the measures being opposed is Assembly bill 1093, which would convert the Fresno State College, a teachers college, into a new four-year institution which would be called the University of Central California, with separate board of trustees.

By GEORGE MALCOLM SMITH Some day, my ill-mannered friend, you are going to go too far. Some day, when you swerve around a street corner, you are going to clip the buttons off the wrong, pedestrian’s vest, and he is going to catch up with you, haul! you off your comfy upholstery and deal you, the smacking down you deserve. You're a veritable titan of self-assurance, aren’t you, when you're behind an eight-cylinder engine? But how do you look on your feet? Are you the same dashing, imposing. self-assertive personage for whom the rest of the world must make room? Would you dare shove another pedestrian aside; would you jostle a six-footer? You would not, for you're just a grubby little inferiority complex who's been sublimatéd by a shot of gasoline. And what's the reason for this breakneck rush of yours, anyway? You're in an automobile. You'll arrive at your destination 10, 15 or 20 times quicker than the pedestrian you're crowding back onto the curb. The best he can do is five or six miles an hour. Is your business ten times more urgent than his? My, my, what an important fellow you are! What vast designs, what momentous projects must occupy your waking hours to justify such impatience. The automobile, it seems, is the devil's gift to the Little Man. Put him in control of a motor car and he’s cock o’ the crosswalks. But if you suddenly yanked that ton or two of iron and steel out from under him, you'd find him just a measly nonenity with the mental setup of a grammar school bully. « eieyator at court House .

A total of 3979 bills already introduced, together with a maximum of 240 more measures face them in the long session ahead, expected to take about four or five months. The main controversies probably will be over taxation, liquor, oil, relief and strike settlements. One of the most unique services in the west, the passenger line on the Sacramento river to San Francisco, will be resumed this week end, with a special spring excursion slated at 75 cents for the round trip and lower rates than ever before for the staterooms. The River Lines famous palatial river steamer, . the Delta King, will carry an orchestra as part of the excursion’s entertainment program. A new wage increase of 15 per cent that will benefit 17,048 cannery workers in the Sacramento valley was announced last week. This is the second increase within three months affecting 23 valley canneries and it will bring the 1327 wage levels 25 per cent above the average last year. Men will receive a base pay of 50 cents an hour. Women will receive 40 cents. In 1936 the scale for men was 40 cents and that for women was 33 1-3 cents. Sacramento valley canneries last year paid $4,445,533 in wages. e The legislative and relief committee of the California state supervisors association adopted a proposed plan to change the State relief setup when they met in Sacramento last week.

How long is “tem “temporary” when the word is used in referring to the Federal gasoline tax of one cent per ‘gallon? Pressing Congress for an answer to this question, a nationwide demand for elimination of the tax. is steadily gaining force, the California State Automobile Association declared in a statement today. Originally enacted-in 1932 as an emergency measure to provide a temporary source of revenue, the Federal tax on gasoline was re-enacted in 1933 for a two-year period and extended for another two years . in 1935 Unless again extended by Congress the tax will automatically die June 30 this year. Francis Carr of Redding, Association president, in letters recently dispatched to members of the California delegation in congress, declared that “the time has now come: when an aspect of permanence never intended upon its first enactment or its two extensions since that time.” Last year alone the tax cost American motorists $190,000,000, the Automobile. Association pointed out. As evidence of widespread demand for removal of the tax the association cited action by the third general assembly of the Council of State Governments held in Washington, D. C., in January, which adopted resolutions declaring as follows: * “The original temporary emergency nature of the Federal gasoline tax, improving yields from Federal levies, the vital importance of gasoline taxes as state revenue sources, and the essential role of gasoline as a commodity utilized in transportation and communication, prompt the assembly to request and urge tha congress relinquish this recognized field of state taxation at the termination of the current fiscal year, or as’soon thereafter as possible.”’ EPWORTH LEAGUE ELECTS AND INSTALLS OFFICERS The Epworth League met last Sunday evening with Miss Joan Grant presiding.
