"The industrial, agricultural and tourist development of California,' he said, "will be greatly retarded unless the voters defeat Propositions and 10.

Those having the interest of the state at heart should hesitate before becoming party to the threatened disintegration of this most successful of public enterprises.
"Vote 'NO' on Propositions and 10 on June 27. Keep the gas tax funds for the people and their highways."
