the big news story around the
capitor yesterday. The governor
now wears a derby hat,, a. black

than he has since Lis Inaugura

some weight, but a few good po
litical battles and he will be down
to racing poundage.
The governor says ft seems
good to get back, and be was
anything bat laudatory about
the California weather. His va
cation did do hint a lot of good,
from all, appearances. There
were no board meetings here
yesterday; but several are
scheduled for today. With the
governor back, more news Is ex

will remain unknown for some
time or until some. action 13 taken
in that connection, it was learned
yesterday. At least the governor
gave no indication he would re
lease the contents of the com
munication. Mrs. Sheldon F. Sackett, sec
retary Co. the governor, return
ed to her desk yesterday, and
graciously received the felicita
tions of officials and friends on
her' recent wedding. Beatrice
Walton, as she so far la better
knows, said she would eontiano
her duties for time at least,
ranch to the satisfaction of
Governor Meier.
If ever such a time should
come that the secretary will re
sign. Governor Meier would have
difficulty in getting as efficient
and capable a secretary as Mrs.
Sackett. Governor Meier himself
has said it would be hard to re
place her, and he is not anxious
to be forced to do so. The press
gallery likewise would dislike to
see her leave that office.
Itufos C Holman, recovered
somewhat from his severe cold of
the past 10 days, was also back
at the capital yesterday. He an

Delinquency of
Taxes Heavier;
" Law is Blamed
With the tax delinquencies of
the county, as of November S at
least 50 per cent above those of
the same time last year there la
considerable . speculation as to
cause. Largest blame Is being
placed on the new law which al
lows only 8 per cent interest on
delinquent taxes rather than 12
per cent as formerly charged. De
pression also comes In for Its
share of blame for the high de
linquency. 1
Regardless of the cause It Is a
fact that the last half of the tax
es due amount to 248S.2S9.ss
and a year ago the delinnnnnv
only amounted to $323,153.62.
