The Imperial push has lately complained to the Southern Pa cific company because some of it's employees are openly favoring El Centro for county seat. They have even demanded that the of- lending employees be dismissed from the company's service. And it is said that they have induced the superintendent to demand the resignation of some of their em- ployees on that ground. This is the limit. The employees and agents of the company in the valley own land here, live here and are as much entitled to ex- press their opinion as any other person. It is perfectly natural that those living in El Centro should prefer this place and that those living in Imperial should prefer that place. No one in Fl Centro will be so mean, little or contemptible as to try to cause the Imperial S. P. agent to lose his means of livelihood because he prefers his own town. The d1sreputable tactics used by the Imperial push to thus deprive voters of their constitutional rights cannot win them any votes among independent citizens and the working man when he enters the voting booth is very likely to remember people who try to CO., cree employees by threatening them the.l loss of their jobs.

INCREASING THE TAXPAYERS BUR-
 DEN

Last week we had occasion to speak of the assinine action of the Imperial push ill refusing to allow the Palo Verde section of Riverside county to become a part of our new Imperial county. It now transpires that Dr. NJ. L.. Parcels was in Imperial last week representing this same Palo Yer de section and a, ,ked the Imperial crowd to take his section in the new county. He was informed by the unblushing perverters of truth having the matter i'll charge for Imperial city that there were legal difficulties in the way-AN ABSOLUTE PRIESTHOOD. Thus the taxpayers of the new county must make up the taxes which could have been collected in the PaloVerde section, amount ing to as much as ten thousand dollars per annum.
 MT. Taxpayer, if you want this reckless disregard of your inter- ests to continue, perpetuate the influence of the Imperial push in county affairs by voting to put the county seat at Imperial. If you want to rebuke the crowd who already saddled needless taxes on you, vote for Fl Centro.

something the people even from the remotest parts of the valley are beginning to take pride in. That the valley is amply able to maintain institutions of a per- manent character has been be- lieved for some time past, and the town that has had the push and energy to secure these up-to- date buildings and encourage the locating of industries such as are found here, is fast gaining friends among the people who believe in the future greatness of the valley and like to see progress ill the towns as we'll as in the country.

STRAWS SHOW WHICH WAY THE
 WIND BLOWS.

From the Brawley News is clipped an article which gives voice to hints that have been gO- ing the rounds as to the attitude of Imperial on the county d1vlS- and county seat proposition. It seems very queer that the people who were so anxious to start the county division movement, when they see that the whole valley did not flock to them and theirs and insist that Imperial should be the county seat, should now want to hedge on the whole thing and turn in and try and de- feat the very movement they started. They are not making any open avowals of this nature, but that the matter is under con- sideration is evident from the re- marks which Lave been inadvert- ently dropped by some of the less reticent. The Brawley News speaks of it as follows:
Imperial Valley press and the Imperial press., 1907-06-01
HEDGING ON THE RESULT

One of the latest pieces of news in pc litical circles is the alleged plan of Im- perial to defeat county division because of its hopeless fight for the county seat. It is said that this is to be done by unit ing with Brawley to defeat all action. A combination with Brawley to land the county seat at the northern town might be attempted, but the chances of sue cess are too remote in view of the fact that Fl Ccutro controls too large a p.o portion of the votes.
 However, if 35 per cent of the votes cast are in opposition to county division the measure will be lost. 1t is this scheme that Imperial plans to spring 1ules its chances appear far more iay- oraD.a t4m at present. I.ls recog uized fact that should the election be postponed for a yearor more Brawloy would be a dangerous factor in the coun .y seat GaLr Imperial it is alleged, re- aliling the hopeless task of obtaining the coveted prize, hopes to postpone the division, even though in the future the county seat should be located at Brawley for Imperial would prefer that pits liyal.
Imperial Valley press and the Imperial press., 1907-06-01

We understand that the Imper- ial committee having in charge the county seat campaign has raised campaign fund (for legit- innate purposes of course) of some S3OOO. It is a time honored legal maxim that one should be just before he is generous; we there fore suggest that instead of dis tributing all this money among the push the committee redeem the honor of the city of Imperial by paying for the sidewalks its citizens HOW use, the payment of which is some two years overdue.
