SETTLED FACT
Judge MacLane Doffs the
judicial Ermine to
Draft Tax Bill.

Judge John +. MacLane TEN
porarily resigned his position or
the bench of the third district
court, in order to give his entire
time to the important work Of
drafting the new measure. The
task is looked upon as being one
of the greatest Importance, anG
it is thought will consume consid
cradle time.
In some circles Judge MacLan.
es temporary resignation is look
ed upon as proof that Governor
Hawley is determined to call a
special session of the state legis-
lature to relieve the tax situation
Governor Hawley defended his
action by declaring that a special
session would have more time to
devote to such matters than
would be the case were they left
to the regular session. 1t is ex-
pected that no action toward call
ing the special session will be
taken until Judge MacLane and
former Attorney General Frank
Martin have completed the draft
Of the new measure.
In communication received
by Judge j. f. MacLane from
William Morgan of Moscow,
democratic leader in the
house of representatives of the
last legislature, makes recommen-
dations of things that, in his opin
ion, are needed. He promises to
do all in his power to have the
new law adopted when the legis-
lature meets again.
In the opinion of Mr.. Morgan,
the state is in need Of more dras-
tic laws regulating the sale of
lands for delinquent taxes. He
recommends that provision be
placed in the new law that will
compel the assessors office to
first inform party whose taxes
are delinquent, if there are any
arrears on the property from
some previous owner who neg
lected to pay. He believes that
this will do away with the delin.
quent tax sharps, who purchase
property for fraction of its val
ne by paying the delinquencies
and then hold up the present owl
.er.

Before Rome had become the splen-

repressed by the disadvantages accru-
ing from a disunited Italy, the peo-
pie living there were more homogen-
eous, more social than now. In those
days the carnival was a great event.
Among the gala performances were
races which took place on a street, or,
rather, at that time a road. leading

god Apollo had come back from an
tiquity to show the followers of the
new religion that he was not yet ex-

Admiration for him was not confined

gold into circulation this winter by
having another of his 160-acre ranches
graded, plowed, leveled and sown to
grain. Thus the Imperial Valley is
fast becoming thoroughly farmed. All
of Mr.. Harris holdings, or at least
the greatest part. are situated within
the Mesquite Lake district and are
about seven miles from Imperial City.

now glad to report that Mr.. Marris

Prof. Ernest Thornquist will furnish
handsome Christmas tree for Santa

this tree is home grown, too.
Some time during the holiday week,
we are told, several social functions
are to be held and several Christ

Later on we will give notice OF those
who have entertained in this manner,

be given out through the Imperial Val

determined upon. The teacher does
not want to have it on any evening
when it might conflict with other do

" made the Imperial Valley visit,
has this to say about our wonderful

naw OF at least 10000. The assess

property, exclusive OF railroads, and
as the basis is about % cents on the
dollar, the real valuation is we'll over
$50 600 900 The railroad property is
worth s5,0O0OO0. Think of it, if you
can grasp the fgures-over $4,000

sells not infrequently at $4,000 per

The boys" of Imperial are telling
this story on our two popular residents
of Mesquite Lake. 1t is a well-konwn
fact that w. A. Bruorton and Mr.. Da-
Wis of Ell Centro are rival cream col
lectors. Now comes the joke part of
the little tale Casey Jones, our
dashing young zanjero, drives a
spanking" team of as good horses as
ever pounded the roads of Mesquite
Lake country. One day last week our
Delta" creamery man saw an unusual
ly large column of grey dust about
half a mile ahead of him and naturally
enough concluded that this was Mr..
Davis of Ell Centro invading his terri
tory for the sole purpose of relieving
the Delta creamery of some of its prec
ious butter fat. Mr.. Brourton decided
he would give chase and overhaul the
Ell Centre man and by so doing try and
get as much of the cream himself as
be reasonably could On came the
Delta man; still faster rushed Casey
Jones. In the cloud of real estate Mr..
Brourton, it is said, could not detect
his game. for Mr.. Jones is always
game" and never allows many teams
to pass him while he is attending to
the driving. When less than five
miles had been covered, Mr.. Jones
stopped TO attend to some water shift
tunity SO offered the Delta man caught
up, and still had some cream cans left
in his wagon-and before the dust
had halfway settled, he called out, Il
say, Davis, what in the name of all
that is good and that is bad do you
mean by entering my field and taking
my cream?" sWho are you calling
'Davis?" broke in Mr.. Jones. And
the Delta man and Casey" shook
hands, and Mr. Brourton went back
and picked up his empties, and is loud
in his praise for the Ell Centro cream
