Excerpt from Annual Report of the State Tax Commission, 1917: Transmitted to the Legislature January 9, 1918 The Commission intends to exercise its authority to conduct appeals and reviews of supervisors' equalizations to the full extent of the law, so far as it is physically able so to do, believing that by correcting unfair and illegal equalizations and preventing their recurrence, it will not only secure justice to tax districts in the apportionment of general taxes, but also remove one of the greatest inducements to under-assess property for taxation purposes.

Excerpt from Report of the Social Insurance Commission of the State of California: January 25, 1917 The choice of health insurance for concentrated study did not mean that it was necessarily the most important phase of social insurance. Health insurance was selected for several reasons - actuarially and in point of administration it was the simplest branch of the complex social insurance scheme; it was most closely allied to industrial accident and could most easily be adapted to the mechanism worked out for the existing state fund. Finally, the unanimous advice of the eastern men and women who had carefully studied social insurance problems was to center all efforts upon health insurance.

Excerpt from Preliminary Report of the California Historical Survey Commission: February, 1917 County Archives. Up to the present time one of the chief features of the work has been in connection with the records in the county archives, which are being examined from three distinct points of View. In the first place a careful survey is being made of the records and documents in the various offices, with the Object Of determining their historical value and suggesting how they may be employed by students of the social sciences. In this manner every set of records or docu ments is examined and listed by the proper title, and the number Of volumes or documents noted. A careful study is also being made. Of those parts of the statutes and codes which deal with these records, the results of which study will be set forth in the introduction to the archive report and will, it is believed constitute a valuable treatise upon the history and contents of the public records, of value alike to the research worker and to the keeper of these records. During the fourteen months since the commission was organized the survey has already been extended over forty of the counties of the state and the records of nearly three hundred offices have been examined and listed. Almost without exception the investigators have been received with the utmost courtesy by the loud officials, who have granted free access to the records and have in many cases assisted personally in the work.
