SUPERVISORS AND DIRECTORS
OF NO. 1 SEEKING REMEDY

Imperial Enterprises: committee of
rectors of Water Company No l at the
monthly meeting Thursday for confer
ence on the matter of the dumping of
silt from the company's canals upon
county roads. Most of the trouble of
that sort is along the laterals, which
are on a fiat grade, fill up rapidly and
have to be dredged frequently There
is no place upon which to deposit the
sand except the roads along the
bitches.
Complaints had been made particu-
larly about a half-mile stretch of road
west of the Conant place and the road
passing the Wilsie ranch. Clark Adair,
Socialist candidate for supervisor
against r. H. Clark, has been very
busy and has threatened to have Su-
psrintendent Carberry arrested for
dumping sand upon the roads. An cleo
ton being imminent, some supervisors
are peculiarly sensitive to criticism
and very touchy about the roads in
their districts. Wherefore the confer
ence.
The directors and the committee dis
| cussed various possible remedies for
the trouble, and it was virtually agreed
that in some cases it would be neces
sary to secure widened rights of way
| and move the roads. Director Fawcett
said it was clearly up to the company

OR FAIR PLAY

Occasionally some person com
plains because This journal has strong
convictions on public questions and
expresses those convictions. to which
indictment the Press pleads guilty. But
at the same time the Press always has
the utmost respect for the opinions Of
others, and always is willing to give
hearing to those who disagree with it
on matters of policy or principle.
1t is little more than three weeNs
until the election, and during those
three weeks the people of the valley
will wish to hear both sides of the
main issue of the campaign. The Dem +
ocratic party is without newspaper
representation covering the valley. and
as matter of fair play the Press has
rendered to the Democratic county cen
trail committee the use of a column
during the remainder of the campaign,
without charge. but with the under
standing that the newspaper is not re-
sponsible for the opinions or statements
contained therein.
= large minority Of the readers of
the Press are voters OF the Democratic
party, and they Will undoubtedly be
pleased to have a presentation of Dem
Ocratic ideas
There have been times when party
passions made an act of this kind seem
disloyal, but the day has come when
most people are agreed that ideas and
principles which cannot stand light
from all directions merit defeat. ana

ideas and principles of the Progressive
party when light is turned upon them

paper had iaborsd for months In al
effort to report the progress of the
district affairs, and it was made with
oredit for much good work performed
by Secretary Melton, but with the be
lief that his policy of secrecy was
alternating the people from the district,
when they had a right to know what
was being done in their interest, If
anything was being done.
But the criticism brought no charge
in the policy of the district, and even
Tuesday morning when this paper at
tempted to learn the nature of the
proposal that was that day to be made,
with the explanation that ii was de-
sirable to have the facts in hand that
they might be properly presented that
evening, the information was denied.
When the meeting was held and Sec
retary Melton presented and urged a
prop osition to buy the California De-
velopment Company property from the
Southern Pacific, subject to all existing
claims, even though he was not sup
ported by a member of the board on
by the districts attorney, in the opin-
ion of this journal he went 50 far that
his usefulness was greatly impaired.
But it appears that he went further
than this, and the following day a
secret meeting of the board was held,
at which for several hours Mr.. Melton
urged the board to accept the offer of
the Southern Pacific Company. 1t is
difficult TO understand why Mr.. Melton
sh ould be so insistent on a policy
which is condemned by everybody else,
as it has been difficult to understand
why he has followed the policy of alb
solute secrecy in his operations, for
getting the necessity for preserving
the confidence of the public by letting
The people know what was being done.
Not for a mement does this journal
question the absolute integrity and
homer of Mr.. Melton. Whatever criti-
cism he is being subjected to, the limit
of the criticism of the Press relates
10 his inherent policy of secrecy and
the belief that he permitted certain
southern Pacific officials to unduly
frighten him.
1t has been the policy of some of
these officials to make threats against
the valley from time to time if they
were not given their way, and they
evidently ran blazer on Mr.. Melton
and made him believe that unless the
district acted at once it never could
get the property.
But the people of the valley have
been stampeded by representatives of
the California Development Company
and the southern Pacific Company too
often in the past to be carried of
their feet now.
1t is intimated that this incident will
lead to the resignation of Mr. Melton.
To be perfectly frank, and to admi
that he has performed very valuable
services in the past, the Press is con
strained to believe that such resigna-
ton at this time can well be consid-
cred, for it believes that he has un-
Willingly drifted into a policy which
has alienated the public and that the
confidence of the people in his judg-
ment cannot be easily restored.
1t is a difficult position which the
secretary of the district must hold. Of
all people in the valley he most needs
the confidence Of the public, and when
that - lost all his usefulness in the
position has departed.
