STATE BRIEFING overwhelmingly support capping pension benefits and rais- ing the minimum retirement age for public employees. A Field Poll published Tuesday finds 67 percent of reg- higher age for pensions SACRAMENTO (AP) — A new poll finds Californians istered voters support a salary cap for calculating pension benefits, compared to 25 percent who are opposed. Voters support increasing the retirement age by a nearly two-to- one margin, 60 percent to 32 percent. Registered voters are also evenly split on the level of retirement benefits promised to government workers. About 37 percent say pensions are too generous, 36 percent say they are about right and 17 percent say they are not gener- ous enough. The Field Poll interviewed 997 registered voters from June 21-July 2. The poll has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points. sharply if tax measure fails SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — University of California students will likely face a steep midyear tuition increase if voters reject Gov.

THE PASSING PARADE (From Dave Minch's I Say of 1940) A few days ago there was an editorial in this paper about the Southern Pacific Railroad to the effect that we should do something about the fact that S.P. won't do anything to improve their park and so, to get even, we should pass an ordinance concerning the blowing of train whistles and the speed of trains going through town. This is the spirit that keeps small towns small. 25 years ago Redding and Red Bluff were on par regarding population and prospects. If anything, Red Bluff had the edge. We had the railroad yards, and as time went by, the first good road to Lassen Park and the best road to Eureka. However, today Redding is a city while Red Bluff has hardly held its own over the years. If one part of the money and energy that was wasted on getting the crackpot Monkey Wrench factory to locate here had been used to construct an underpass in town instead of harassing the S.P. , it would have been spent much better. Over 50 years of serving Tehama County I don't like all the regulations that the big monopolies use in their operations, but I do know they have their difficulties and I do not like the spirit of attacking them. After all, if we did not have a railroad here, I'll bet there would be an awfully lot of money and energy spent to get one to come through here…and no one would insist on their keeping their park up. * * * On my recent trip to Los Angeles, I purchased some more acreage in the Orchard Park area (think Tyler Road and south on the east side of 99W). We are going to put in 40 to 120 acres of Ladino Clover this fall. It is our opinion that this land, which is not very valuable for anything else, might be made to produce clover profitably. If it is successful, we will put in more next year. The ultimate growth of the livestock in this county depends upon being able to summer more sheep and cattle here in the valley to take the place of the numbers that are being crowded out in the mountains and the foothills. Between the Park Service, Forest Service and inability to acquire permits for controlled burning of brush, there are less and less livestock every year in the mountains. If this clover grows successfully, there are thousands of acres of unprofitable ground in this county that may become profitable, for there is no more useless land anywhere. When we arrived in Red Bluff twenty one years ago, we bought 40 acres in Orchard Park for $150.00 per acre with the assurance the land would grown anything. Our whole family nearly died trying to grow anything, and therefore had to work all over the county in order to eat and make payments on the place. It would give me revenge if I can make this ground produce. (Ed. Note: Sadly, he did not.)
