In both big business and small, the men who are meeting the challenges of war with such marked success are ready to tackle the great challenges that peace Realizing that California is located farthest from the national markets at which the east is the heaviest consumer, the Interstate Commerce Commission has given special consideration to rates to and from the Pacific ‘Coast. On grain, deciduous fruits, sugar, vegetables and products of the forests and mines, the present rates were established with distance as a Consequently, millions of dollars have been invested in equipment and:other facilities dependent on the present rate The damaging influence of the proposals is clearly exemplified in the case of California beet sugar. The production of this commodity is far in excess of Pacific Coast needs, and the surplus has to be marketed in the heavy. consuming midintensive competition with the eastern and southern refiners which are located much closer to these markets and which already have lower shipping costs. Any mileage-based freight rates would so increase the disparity against California sugar that it would Since this state’s industry and agriculture depend heavily on the ability to market produce in distant centers, California shippers are warning that passage of the uniform freight rate bills would inflict a death blow to any possibility for future development, and depreciate our present production into inHOW YOU GONNA KEEP ’EM DOWN ON THE FARM? California farmers expect a labor shorfage in 1944 that will make this year’s shortage seem like the horn of plenty. A recent bulletin from the Associated Farmers calls attention to the number one agricultural problem on the farm ‘horizon, pointing out that the latter part of this year and the first of next is the season when farm labor is not needed to any great extent. It will be the natural tendency, ‘ then, of many farm workers to drift to the war industries. And it will be an easy matter for them to secure certificates of availability since the harvest will be over and there will be no work for “But when the harvest season comes next year and demands are made for help,’’ the bulletin declares, “these same workers will not be allowed to quit their jobs in industy and return to the farms, for it has been rarely, if ever, that em_ployers in industry will allow workers certificates of availaOne solution advanced by the association is that farmers plan now to keep as many workers as possible busy on repairs of machinery and other maintenance work until the next harvest season. Such a course “will mean money out of the pockets of farmers’’ it is pointed out,” but it may be necesFew farmers, in our opinion, this year or any year, will be financially able to retain very large numbers of harvesters after the harvest is over—but it’s still a mighty good trick if 2 Th elety committee of the Salt Lake City Council of: 2n has proposed that kissing be banned by health auThey have offered their recommendation to create a termining the new taxes which are industrial finally imposed.

Five counties have ‘reached the thousand mark or over.’ Modoc county is leading with a reported kill of 1,238 deer; Tulare follows with 1,216; then Siskiyou county, accounting for 1,212; Plumas 1,053 and Fresno with 1,006. The last day of deer hunting in these Sierra districts is tomorrow. ‘At one half hour before sunrise tomorrow, hunters will be opening the season on ducks, geese and mudhens in California.

State’s Cash Balance in Cash Totals $99,105,545 State Controller Harry B. Riley today announced that the ‘state's general fund excess over current obligations was $99,105;545 ait the end 19438. This is an increase of $2540,930 over the cash excess. at the end of the preceding month and more than double the excess of 046,277,112 on September 30 a year ago. General fund revenues deposited in the state treasury during the first hree months of the present fiscal year totaled $65,514,247 an increage of $7,033,246 or 12.03 per cent over the same period last year. : General fund expenditures during the first three months of the present fiscal year, as announced by Riley, ‘totaled $50,695,116,—an increase of $24,186,279 over the corresponding period last year. The major portion of this increase, however, said Riley was caused by the transfer to the highway fund of $13,500,000 appropriated by 1943 legislation for surveys and rights of way for post war highway construction. Another major increase totalling $6,853,369 occurred in the cost of aid to aged. This increase, said Riley is due almost entirely to the increased proportion of this aid which is born by the state as a result of 1943 legislation.
