NEW GOVERNOR'S PROPOSALS

San Francisco, Jan. 16. California will enact far-reach- ing progressivo laws in 1935 if Governor, Frank F: Merriam re- commends to the legislature the programme of social legislation which state administration officials say he has in mind.

While the Governor, busy with budget, tax and patronage_pro- blems, is not doing any talking. those close to him say he has in mind proposals of such liberal colouring that his mere thoughts are making some of his ultra-con- servative backers decidedly "t- tory."

He does not intend to go as far as to borrow portions of Mr. Upton Sinclair's "Epic." But he has in mind the ao-enlied Ohio plan under which the unemployed are offered opportun ities to manufacture things they cannot afford to buy with their limited relief allowances.

If everything goes as adminia- tration leaders say, and the Federal Relief Administrator, Mr. Harry Hopkins approves, the production- for-use programme may become a reality very shortly.

A law that would enable tho state to extend financin} nid to mortgage-ridden property owners facing foreclosure is also being considered. So is another bit of legislation to help worthy couples build homes and nequire farms.
