Cotton in Imperial Valley

much talk about cotton growing m thls valley. It is not the purpose of this article to discourage or encourage the growing of cotton here, but to call attention to some facts about the cotton industry which seem very strange at best.
 A few days ago the writer had occasion to purchase some cotton bunting; the price, as compared with former prices, was high, and the salesman remarked that the price was constantly advancing.
 The next morning the daily papers published as news that huge piles of cotton had been stacked upon the public squares at various points in the cotton growing districts, and amid great cere- mony the torch was applied.
 It was at first determined to destroy million bales, but later it was agreed that the amount raised in excess of the year before should be destroyed, which was three million bales.
 And still the price of cotton goods advanced. The planters give as reason for burning this staple article that the price was likely "to continue to drop because of this surplus, thereby running them.
 The price of gnned cotton going down; the price of cotton cloth going up. The price goes down because nature has yielded too abundantly. The price of cloth goes up because labor saving de- vices (Trusts) have been organized.
 Socialism is beautiful theory but it is not practical Think of a man defend- ing system that will produce such things as above and then tell how social ism would be impracticle.
 The cotton growers (the real growers) toll long and arderous for small wage so small in fact that the main objection urged against cotton raising in Imperial Valley is the inability to secure cheap labor, and when they have succeeded in coaxing Mother Earth to yield upabund- ance their masters pile up great heaps of their product and apply the torch in order to force the workers to pay big price for what small amount they are able to buy with their meager wage.
 Labor has made the earth to yield; labor has gathered the harvest; labor has put the cotton into bales, and now when surplus has been produced, and labor should have vacation from con- stant toll, labor is directed to pile it's results up in the public square and apply the torch. Shameless vandalism, that is ''so very practical" Why don't the workers take that vacation?
 It is because they receive only wages cI, ugh to feed them while at work and thtt must keep at work or starve. This cotton that is being burned does not belong to the workers but to their mas ters it is surplus product. A part of the amount produced by labor above the cost of production, and labor will never be able to get this as long as it works for a wage Ca part of its product), the wage system and all that appertains to 1t

Glenn Blood Is Apprehended
While crossing the

OAKLAND. Aug. s.-Half- f-famished
and showing the effects of exposure,
Glenn Blood, one of the escapes from
the Preston School of Industry, was
taken into custody as he was cross
ing the bay this morning by Constable
Cramer who recognized him from the
descriptions sent out. There is re-
ward of $50 for his arrest. Blood gave
the name of Fred Grant when the Of
ficer first took him in charge, but real
izing that his detection was inevitable,
he admitted that he was the man
wanted
With Adrian Heller and Charles
Spencer, Blood made his escape from
the reformatory on August by tear
ing up their bedding and making a
rope, on which they slid from a third
story window. All three boys went to-
gether to Los Angeles, where, Blood
says, they separated, he coming north
on a freight while they went south.
He states that he has had no food for
three days and that he has walked
about eighty miles. He was sent to
the school from Los Angeles County for
burglary His father and mother are

DECLARES EATORTI0N
HAS BEEN ATTEMPTED
Letter Demanding Money
Causes Christian Scien-
lists Arrest.

OAKLAND. Aug. S.--Charles Benedict.
a. Christian Science practitioner, residing
at 529 Hobart street, was arrested to-day
on a charge of attempted extortion, the
complainant being John B. Guest, a man
ufacturer at 1906 Broadway, who was for
merly in business with Benedict in the
handling of women's dress shields.
Guest charges that benedict on July 81
in a letter threatened to turn over secrets
of the manufacture of the shields to an
Eastern company unless Guest paid $3.50.
which Benedict said was due him. Bene-
dict asserts he sold his interest in the
business in the c. Benedict Company to
Guest for $500, but he also declares there
Is a balance due from Guest. On the
other hand, Guest insists he holds re-
ceipt in full from his former partner in
settlement. The letter, he complains, was
intended to force him to pay money he
did not owe in order to preserve his
business from the competition of large
concern.
