ing inducements. Or maybe California has been a little too
reckless about taxing people so heavily, which certainly discourages the influx of those with any money. A notable contrast is that Florida prohibits a personal income tax except by
vote of the people, while California's legislature alone can
enact one, and did-exactly that at its last session. . Perhaps
prospective settlers want direct control over their own incomes, and favor states where economy and retrenchment,
rather than new taxes, are the order of the day.

Millions From The East CS
(Contributed)
Another of those little-known but’ rather astonishing
facts about California came to light the other day, this one in
a report drawn up by the Save-the-Redwoods League.
Did you know that people who live in far away New
York have given sums. totalling $2,640,500 ‘in recent years
toward preserving California’s redwood trees _ in parks or
memoria! groves? From Massachusetts, Connécticut and I]linois, too, and from people scattered over the nation, have
come sums ranging from $10,000 to $40,000.
Offhand, one wouldn’t imagine that citizens of what
are, in a way, rival states, would give so generously to perpetuate one of the greatest attractions of another state. But
unusual things happen to California.
The report-on this was part of the Redwood League's
effort to insure success of the November ballot initiative prohibiting: tideland oil drilling. The measure, while protecting
beaches, also permits the state to collect adequate royalties
from slant drilling into submerged oil pools, and half these
royalties will go to the state fund, now nearly exhausted:
The idea of telling Californians about the millions which
ment figures for the entire state will soon be available, there
is considerable interest~#m what these will show concerning

At last Governor Sola suggested
that ailing Indians be transferred
across the bay to what now is Marin* county where a milder climate
prevailed. As an experiment several
neophytes were sent over and their
health was greatly improved. Fr.
Comisoria Prefecto Vicente Francisco, de Serria approved of the idea,
but hesitated to permit large numbers of Indians to be moved to the
Marin district because :communication was difficult and
were lacking. ‘
