The government Is gratified over credit support for business, but finds its chief concern in larger financing to aid agriculture. The administration has decided that larger credit must be given the farmers.

Bankers have shown a ready response, the reports show, to demands of '-nstry for a larger supply of capital and at a lower interest charge, but the farmers in complaints to Washington still are handicapped by Inability to obtain sufficient capital at reason able rates.

Down in Redlands, Senator Lyman M. King, after whom the King tax bill was named, has Issued a statement con cerning the recent Fresno reapportionment convention.

In hi paper King says: "Senator King urged the delegates to take a practical took at the situation, not to seek to disfranchise large rural populations In Los Angeles and Alameda counties, but to offer the people a plan that would accomplish the end sought and at the same time appeal to all by its fairness. Senator Harris of Fresno took the same attitude, as did Senator Jones of San Jose. Out the small counties had sent a large block of delegates to the meeting, they had the votes, and they were determined to foist their plan upon the meeting. "The practical character of the proposal to be offered the people is open to grave question. Certainly the great counties of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Alameda will not approve of the action taken.

Even such populous counties as those containing the cities of Sacramento, Stockton, San Jose, Fresno and San Diego can hardly be expected to approve, as they wlU soon be in line to get two senators on the present plan of population representation, if no change is voted." 1A)VD PROTEST IV SOtJTH. It. C. Harblnson of the San Bernardino Sun Is as emphatic ia his opinion that the new program will not satisfy the larger communities. It is to be noticed, however, that the protests have come from the Southland.

This is understood to have been done to protect the rural districts from dominance by the legislators ot York City. "In Pennsylvania no city or county may have more than one-sixth of the total number of senators and In Rhode Island counties and towns are limited to one-fourth of the total number of members in the lower house.

It was very convenien for they could come over and get off tho train right at the door of the pavilion, and some of those picnics were sure lively affaire, and tho doings at the park sometimes might be called a hot time, Many of theee clubs came from the south of Market street district in San Francisco; boys bringing their girls with them, all rested up-to-date in their Dollie Varden nulla, banged hair and bustles- a.d they sure did liave some bustle In those daya The style for the club boys at that time waa skin-tight pants Vlth spring bottoms, puffed hair and aUIT-rimmed hats, which were all the etylo at that time. Then, if they didn't have a doen lights or bo at the park during tho day, it was a very tame picnic. But on the way home that was the real time. The local train would have three or four special cars at the rear end for the plcnio crowd. The train crew would Just lock the doors and let the boys have their rough-bouse to their heart's content.

They would sometime fight over the girls, break th window and to on until they got to the ferry. On the 'boat there would be a reception committee ot five or six San Francisco husky policemen with night club. If any of the bunch tried to rough-house, th police would Just give them atap on the coco, and put them to sleep until they got over to the city; that was tho only way to get along with them. Then the Italians would have tb'jslr annual picnic at the park, bringing their red wine with them in demijohns; and tt was a great lght to see the parade of demijohns; and when one got into the park, be did not have to ask what picnic it was, for you could smell the garlic in th air.

At first it was the home ot Captain T.

W. Badged, being on the south side of East Tenth street, between Seventh and Tenth avenues, and extending southerly to the railroad track on the 8. P. Company, as I remember it. Well, about 1874 the Captain saw that Oakland needed a new park and felt, that his place was right and would fill the bill, so he got busy and made, out of his home property, what was really a first-class amusement garden, for those times.

It was a good deal after the style ot Woodward's Gardens In San Francisco, only on a much smaller scale. There wi a dancing and skating rink, bowling alleys and shooting galleries, a zoo, museum, restaurant and the usual trimmings which go with a park of that kind. Then there was the amphitheater which Bartholomew' trained horses used tto do a lot, of stunts, also Humphrey's educated horse which could count and do other tricks, donkeys to ride -for two of them there was a standing offer of a dollar to whoever rode either of them once around the-rlng. Do you know of. any one who ever got the dollar? One of them would let you get on and then Just He down, and that's as far as you would get.

The other one would let you get then take one or two Jumps and off you went. Then there were the freaks, such as Jo-Jo, the dog-faced man; the Wild Man from Borneo, who was wild In his cage, but when outside was Just as tame as the rest of us. There was the skeleton man, almost as slim as a lead pencil, and other freaks, such aa the bearded lady and the tatooed man; and they had games for prizes, such as the pole, the greased pig, thethree-legod race, and so on. Well, there would be something doing all the time, to keep it interesting for the patrons, who in large numbers, particularly on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Once Bob Ingersoll delivered one of his lectures there.

Then, here Is a boy that I used to thnk a lot of and many ot you will remember him th only J. M. J. Kane, a newspaper man. Can any of you remember the year' when he delivered the Fourth of July address at Badger Park?
