.BRAWLEY CITY TRUSTEES
Want AN INVESTIGATION
BY THE GRAND JURY

Brawley News: Either the approach
ing election or the sudden desire to
! present clean slate to the new board
of trustees caused a spasmodic at.
| tempt at virtuous Indignation among
the members of the board Monday
evening at the manner in which city
business has been conducted.
Two of the trustees, w. F. Beal and
r. Malan, were grilled for placing
their o K on bills paid through the
clerk to T. M. Daffron, unauthorized
by the board, ditch cleaning contract
for $S3 being involved; w. H. Whe.
Ian, former city clerk and recorder,
was the subject of attack for an al
legged shortage of SS5 in recorders
fines as shown by the auditors report,
although the treasurer books indi.
cate an over balance of $104-the
kick coming on the ground that Wa
ter Superintendent Dickens had re.
paid a shortage of SIS and Marshal
Emerson of $50. and therefore the ex-
recorder should be compelled to fol
low suit in restitution. Mr. Whelan
as former city clerk, was asked tc
repay $780, on the ground of neglect
OF duty during the last few months of
his office, and provision was made for
suit in each of these cases if the de-
mands were not complied with.
Finally a resolution was passed call
ing the attention of the grand Jury tc
the circumstances surrounding the dis
appearance of money in certain cases
and an investigation of the marsnal's
clerk S and recorders Offices for the
term asked for. The attention of the
United States revenue authorities was
also called 10 the evidence in the Lar
gen case.

cHILDRENs DAY EXERCISES AT
SPARR

When the good women get behind
a movement 1t generally succeeds in
most any community, and especially
is this true in the vicinity of Spar.
Our good women have been behind
the children's day exercises for some
time, and the happy result of their
patient and loving efforts was beau
tifully demonstrated at the Baptist
church last Sunday night before a
large and appreciative audience.
The occasion was not one of de-
nominational color or restriction, but
represented, religiously, both demon.
nations at this place-Baptist and
Methodist-and the entire community
in general.
Mrs. Sue Grantham, the estimable
wife of our Uncle Dan Grantham, and
a devoted Christian worker in the
Methodist church, superintendent the
beautiful exercises, and words are in.
adequate to express the praise which
this good woman just deserves.
The program follows:
Opening song by the Sunday school
Prayer-Rev. c. H. Phillips, pastor
Baptist church.
Welcome Address-Edna Stevens.
Children's Day Greeting-Miriam
Stevens.

started a movement recently to have
a splendid addition made to the front
of the church building-an entrance
and belfry, which adds greatly to the
appearance and convenience Of the
church. In this she, donated two
thirds of the cost.
Miss Jessie Owens is having q new
coat of paint put on the old colonial
residence-her beautiful and histori-
cal home at Rutland, near Spar.
Rev. Phillips, pastor OF the Baptist
church, is conducting a protracted
meeting here. The continued rains.
however, are against the movement.
1t is hoped, however, that the meet
ing will terminate in much good.
The continue drains have seriously

vicinity. PETER STANLEY.

THE INCOME TAX AMENDMENT
pensacola Journal)

Florida will be one of the states yet
needed to ratify the federal income tax
amendment. which the legislature
failed to do at the last session. Thirty
three states have already ratified the
amendment, and Florida would have
made the thirty-fourth had not the OPP
position to the amendment searched
for a clause in the state constitution
which was supposed to have disquali-
fed certain members of the Senate
from taking part in such ratification.
This objection will be removed when
the next legislature convenes and it
ought TO be one of the first things to
be disposed of by the legislature. Gov
ernor Gilchrist recommended that
Florida ratify the amendment and
Governor Trammeu will probably rec
Commend it also.
Few if any of the candidates for
| Legislative and senatorial honOrs in
| the recent primaries made the income
tax amendment an issue. but il is gen
orally thought there will be little OPP
position to the amendment as it is
merely a way of making the rich pay
their just proportion of the running
expenses OF the government. Those
who object to it will say il i depriv-
| ing the states or their just rights
when they know the state income tax
laws have been without results.
| But in most instances the men elect
ed to both houses of the legislature
bear the progressive brand Of democ-
racy and will fall into line TO help
pass the income tax amendment. Only
| four states have rejected the amend
ment so far They are: Connecticut.
/ Rhode Island and
Vermont. but these states can yet re-
consider the matter.
| At least three-fourths OF the states
must ratify the amendment before ii
becomes a part of the constitution.
Thirty-three Of then have already
done so, as follows:

While in one Of the said dens he
was mistaken for a spotter and as

were very lv<ely kept in the place for
the purpose of making 1t uncomforta-

About that time a policeman came

BOY SCOUTS 4 BENEFIT

I'VE would again emphasize the
wisdom of parents taking interest in
and supporting the Boy Scouts" says
the Ocala Star. There is much in
struction and wholesome amusement
for boys in the woods around Ocala.
and Joining the scouts is a good way to
obtain it." Boys in all parts of Flor
ida are enjoying the days in the
woods now. and from many towns and
cities, little bands of boys in khaki
often make for the woodlands" and
camp for a brief time and learn some
OF the things that will be needed in
later life. The scouts will make good
citizens when they grow up.-Times-
