~ RECORD REVEALS OLSON VOTED NO ator Culbert L. Olson's claim that it was his EPIC b’oc in the legislature that developed and enacted a revenue program that balanced the state budget, was shot full of holes jn a state wide radio ,address last night by Arlin E. Stockburger, state director of finamce. “The record of what happened in the state degislature in 1935 does not support Senator Olson’s statement,”’ Stockburger said. “On page 6 of the Governor’s budget message, under the head of ‘new the governor listed the personal income tax as No. 1, increased bank and corporation franchise tax as No. Ill; tax on intoxicating liquors as No. V., all of which were enacted.” “He also recommended other taxes which were enacted at that time, SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT Our big .annual Rexall ONE CENT SALE will be, held Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and, Saturday, November 2, 3, 4, and 5th Remember these dates.

STUDY MADE BY CUT-OVER LAND BERKELEY, Oct. 27.—The tedious business of watching a forest grow through the decades in order to determine just how it can best be utilized for posterity has been undertaken by the Division of Forestry of the University of California College of Agriculture in Blodgett Forest, an expense of 2,600 acres of cut off land, in the Sierra, 33 miles east of Auburn. The forest was deeded to the University “by the Michigan-California Lumber Company in 1933, and was named after John W. Blodgett, president of the company, who desired to have the university make _ experiments there which would aid the timbermen of the future in the most efficient handling of forest resources. In the five year period the University has taken exhaustive measurements of tthe forest growth, through which it is developing methods of estimating the quality of standing timber. The forest was practically all logged over between 1900 and 1920, ‘and a substantial second growth is well on its way, giving the univérsity ‘ideal conditions for its study. Some of this second growth is now nearly 40 years old, and it is estimated that in another 40 years it ean be dedicated to timbering purposes with the possibility not only of productive timber output but of definite conservation as well. The forest originally contained an excellent stand of Western Sierra mixed conifers—ponderosa pine, sugar pine, Douglas fir, white fir, incense cedar. The young growth is repeating these types and in addition the university is being given opportunity to study the establishment of new forest growth in several hund& . ¥ U.C.
