In other words three-fourths of the income of the state pays no direct tax for the support of the schools or the state local governments. "Furthermore tangible property is carrying 98.6 per cent or almost the whole load while intangibles are allowed to escape with the payment of only about 1.4 per cent. "In the fact of such startling inequalities in the distribution of the tax bur-den it is no wonder -that some property has been taxed to the breaking point. It is less wonder that the taxpayer who has ,been carrying this load should want the tax system changed to distri~ute part of tfl.e burden to intangibles or to mcome. "If the figures released by Mr. Hammond are anywhere near correct they still show a condition that is intolerable and one which certainly demands ~some means of correction. If the :proposed constitutional amendme~ts will open the way for the leg1Slature to correct this great injustice to tangible property then they should receive a big majority of votes from the hone~t and fair-minded voters of this state when the constitutional amendments are placed before them next November."

Los Angeles Livestock Market LOS ANGELES, Sept. 24-It was a wonderful sight to see the army of boys and girls in front of the grandstand at the State Fair, representing our Future Farmers. Those of us who have watched the development of our Junior Agriculturists in late years cannot escape the conviction that it is through such instructional courses as we have at the Universities and High Schools that we are going to get better farmers. The advantage of the rising generation is tremendous as compared with their forefathers' who blazed the Agriculture and Live Stock trail of the West. The pioneer.ing of these people was fraught with many practical difficulties which have been overcome, thus making the problems of farming considerable easier. School days spent together make life-long friends and instill a degree of confidence in the welfare of each other tllat the early settlers didn't have. The ability of these young people to get up and tell their story before an audience is something that their forefathers couldn't do. In all such gatherings the spirit of good fellowship and common interest is plainly evident. These young folks don't have any "Injuns" to worry a.bout. Good roads, for transportation of crops and to "go visitin", have helped a lot. The splendid work of these young people is evident at the Fall Fairs and the big roundup at the Los Angeles Chirstmas Live Stock Show will be a major event, attended by several . .

It will be one of the biggest conventions ever held in the West. The incentive lies in the opportunity to judge the last word in types and breed-3 which will be offered at the Christmas Show, November 29 to December 6. The opening day, Saturday, is dedicated to the Future Farmers and the closing Saturday belongs to the 4-H Club members. Special railroad rates have been made by all railroads, to make it possible to attend the Show at the minimum of expense. Special hotel accomoda.tions have been arranged at a nominal charge and we want to give these young people a big feed while they are here. We can't do too much to encourage this work and a good way to do this is to assist the instructors who are doing such a splendid job of instructing. Through the application of scientific principles, we are making marked progress in practically every line of business- endeavor and it is reasonable to assume that farming is becoming recognized as a science, but until we establish that as a fixed principle the farm element is going to be lagging and out of tune with our whole economic structure. How can we better reach the desired goal than in early training of these young men and women that are passing through our educational institutions. Let's all get behind the Juniors!
