By FRANK JENKINS
From Sacramento: ,
Evidence that state departments
have spent millions of dollars un
necessarily in an annual race to
exhaust their budget appropria
tions ahead of a June 30 deadline
has touched off a statewide inves
tigation. What docs if mean?
It means that if all the money
appropriated to a department to
finance its activities isn t spent by
the end of the fiscal year for
which it was appropriated the sur-
. olus will go back into the general
fund where it COULD be used
either to pay off debt or to re
duce the amount of tax money
needed to finance the state's ac
tivities during the NEXT fiscal
year. In either event, the taxpay
ers would benefit.
To prevent that, the departments
rush in and SPEND IT before the
year ends, it should be added that
this practice is quite common in
our federal government. H exists
in the governments of all our big
slates and our big, sprawling.
overgrown cities.
Let's do a little supposing.
Suppose you are a stockholder
In a relatively small private cor
poration. Suppose it operates on
the budget system. Suppose one of
its departments has some money
left over near the end of the year
Suppose this department rushes
In and SPENDS its surplus m
stead of turning it back to the
treasurer to be added to the net
profit out of which dividends are
paid.
What would you do?
You'd go on a rampage and dc
mand that whoever was respon
sible for that particular piece of
recklessness with your money be
FIRED.
,
Why your rampage?
Well, in the case of the small
corporation of which you are a
stockholder the wasted money
would have come out of YOUR
pocket. If it hadn't been wasted,
there would have been more left
for YOU to spend.
In the ease of the government,
we fall into the bad habit of
thinking of government money as
manna from heaven. It ISN'T man
na from heaven. Government mon
ey comes out of the pockets of the
taxpayers. The more money gov
ernment takes out of the taxpay
er's pocket, the less there is left
for the taxpayer to spend FOR
HIMSELF.
How can government extrava
gance be checked?
Here is one way:
Study the records of your elec
tive officials. When comes elec
tion dav. VOTE AGAINST THOSE
WHO ARE INCLINED TO BE EX
TRAVAGANT WITH THE PEO
PLE'S MONEY.
If enough people do it, that will
turn the trick.
Nothing else will.

South Holds Water Conclave
SACRAMENTO ITI The
Southern California legislative del
egation is faced with the problem
of drafting a legislative program
for water today "with no basic
point of agreement."
Southern California water lead
ers and Ihe legislators met in ex
ecutive session for a total of six
hours late Thursday, ending at 11
p.m., in an attempt to find a wa
ter program which would be ac
ceptable to Gov. Edmund G.
Brown.
All other legislative activity end
ed Thursday when both houses
adjourned until Monday.
Sen. John Murdy iR-Santa Ana'
chairman of the southern delega
tion, said there was "general har

closed gathering agreed on four
points:
The need for a simple con

The inviol.cy of the invest

And an immediate start on

However. Murdy and others
leaving the meeting indicated that'

The southern delegation was
then faced with" the problem of

Evidence of a split among the
southern water leaders was shown
in a letter from W. H. Jennings.

"would be one that closed the

Jennings also said that the gov

in general is a satisfactory basis

Orange and Imperial counties
also were reported as breaking

for a constitutional amendment.

MOSCOW (UPI) A visibly

bitterly complained that a Brit
ish reporter betrayed his trust by
publishing without his authoriza
tion a poem the Russian poet
author said was written in a
"black, pessimistic mood."
Pasternak came under neavy
fire from the Communists after
the Nobel committee awarded
him the 1958 prize for literature.
He rejected the prize and the
$40,000 award which went with it
because his novel. Dr. Zhivago.
had become controversial.
Pasternak said a British report
er had volunteered to deliver the
poem to Pasternak s friend
Jaqueline de Proyart, curator of
the Tolstoy Museum in Paris. He
denounced the reporter and
swore he would receive no more
correspondents who "only hinder
my work and cause me harm."
The London Daily Mail last

lication after a three-hout inter
