California's “favor tariff” program provided the cargo industry an incentive to expand its fleet of U.S. ships. As part of this program, California's Port of Los Angeles leased out some of its port space to the U.S. ocean companies to operate their own containers. However, the tariff system was not designed to provide additional revenue to the state other than the amount it charged per ton delivered. On March 23, 1936, the state adopted a tariff on all containers, except paper, and in June of that same year, the tariff on paper was terminated. The Port of Los Angeles was not required to refund any of the payments made to the U.S. ocean companies, but the companies could request and receive such refunds if they so wished. 5. State officials considered the “favor tariff” to be a mistake. California Attorney General Frank D. Johnson said: “It is a mistake in my opinion and for the good of all the people of the state, that we should make another mistake.
