Even at this time the residents and citizens of these receiving States are aroused and belligerent to some extent. for the burden of taxation is becoming exorbitant. If the Farm Security Administration continues its policy of placing upon relief all those who cross the border to California. and thus aid them in establishing a residence. it is difficult to see how the State can maintain itself through the years to come. The migratorylabor camp serves only as a temporary lodging place. and during the past years. at the termination of 1 year. those migrants have been thrown upon the taxpayers of the county and State. but. 2 weeks ago. the California Legislature passed an act whereby the period of time has been raised to 3 years instead of 1 year. and. therefore. the migrants will have to be taken care of by the Federal Government for an additional 2 years. The construction of migratorylabor camps serves as an invitation for more migrants to come to California. and are a clearing house for additional relief upon the community. I have been speaking in generalities. but now let me place before you figures that will bear up my statementscold. exacting figures. which do not lie. However. before making any comparisons.
