90 WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TODAY

Copyright, 1918, by J. p. Fallonl
Do not say business tomorrow for
this phrase carries with il the threat
of lost opportunities. The man wf.o
first said this lost his life by failing
to open a letter giving warning OF a
conspiracy against him.
Do what you have to do today: do
your buying today; take advantage Of
the opportunities the Press advertisers
offer you today. The cause OF tn
particular buying opportunities they
offer you in their advertisements today
may be uncommon conditions. II you
pass by these opportunities to secure
exceptional values, high quality, and
remarkable prices, you are not doing
your duty to yourself and your family,
Your failure to spend few minutes
each day on the advantages presented
by the Press advertisers hurts in the
place where it hurts most in these
days of high cost of living-the pock-
etboOk.
Make your motto business today,
not "business tomorrow" read the ad
vertisements in the Press closely AMI
constantly today and every day.

first rule Is the maintenance Of popular
government.
When we turn to national affairs we
find that, to borrow witticism, TITS
better than | think it is" The Press
was not supporter Of Governor
Wilson for the presidency, but his atti-
tude from the day Of election to the
present, quiet though it has been. has
been direct, dignifled, self controlled
and has been indicative of a mastery,
well governed and intelligently directed
will power, while the men he has
drawn about him as advisers are those
whose lives are wholly identified with
government by the people.
Because it believes in progressive
ideas directed toward popular govern
ment more than it believes in any
party. the Press wishes the state ad-
ministration, which it supported, was
working on a different tangent in some
Of its activities, and for the same rea-
son it would congratulate the Demo-
cratic party, which it did not support
at the late election.

STATE PRODUCE EXCHANGE
ACT IMPORTANT TO FARMERS

By Hon. C. C. Hoskins, fiscal agent
of the State Produce Exchange League
The state produce exchange act is one
of the important bills that you will be
called upon to consider. This bill has
been pronounced by many able men
and women to be one of the best pro-
posed pieces Of progressive legislation
that have been presented to the public
for its consideration. for if enacted it
will protect and develop the state ag
ricultural interest. The state produce
exchange act would create a commits
sion Of five members whose duty it
shall be to organize, manage, control
and carry on the business of receiving
on consignment, selling and shipping
to dealers and consumers within or
cultural. dairy and farm products
which shall be raised, produced or
manufactured.
To create a state commission house,
owned, controlled and operated by the
people, TO protect the producer and
consumer from those who would take
advantage of conditions to bear the
market for one and bull it for the
other. 1t is an undisputed fact that
While the producer receives but little
for his product the market price to
the consumer is eXorbitantly high
Prices are fixed by those who control
the market, with little or no regard
for the supply and demand.
To systematic and bring about an
economical, scientific and honest melh-
I'd in marketing. We could not de-
wise a more wasteful, dishonest and ex
pensive system of marketing than the
Imperial Valley press., 1913-02-26

the demand In It's protection OF the
producers of wealth, and the reduc-
ton in the high cost Of living. In
the brief space Of sixty days, without
funds to meet the necessary expense
of solicitors, the promoters Of this bill
secured some twenty thousand 'veri-
fed signatures to the initiative petition,
also the endorsement of labor councils
and commercial bodies.
The agricultural interest is demand
ing and will continue to demand more
and better recognition at the hands Of
the legislative bodies of the state and
nation. We must reduce the cost Of
marketing farm products, which form
so important an item in the high cost
of living. By eliminating waste and
unnecessary profits we will reduce the
cost OF farm products to the consumer
and the producer will enjoy greater re
turns.
Imperial Valley press., 1913-02-26
THE REAL PROGRESSIVE

This is a good time for citizens
to give a little more than usual atten-
ton to matters of government.
In California there is a recess be-
tween the two legislative periods and
the new period of law making will
begin in few days. In national af-
fairs, we are almost to the time for
the change in presidents.
In the state we have a Legislature
that-is making further strides in rev.
Olutionizing governmental institutions
and we also have two parties of reac
ton, Republican and Democratic, by
rank misrepresentation attempting 70
defeat the work being done.
In national affairs the opponents II
progress are in hiding, where they fled
under chastlsement.
With this situation, the person who
believes truly in progressive ideas can
afford to take unprejudiced though!
for his guidance, and if he does SO he
cannot be a very strong partisan.
Centuries before Christ men drew
the lines which ever since have marked
the struggle for the recognition Of the
rights of the common people to govern
themselves and minister to their own
welfare. as against the rights of the
few to govern the many, and it ;s
distinctly upon that line that govern
mental issues are now involved.
Unfortunately, there is no science 0i
government, except in the sense that
statesmen seek to steer clear Of charted
rocks. 1t is unfortunate, though. that
rocks often found are not avoided, and
wrecks upon the same rocks have come
in regular succession through all tho
centuries
This journal credits Governor
Johnson and his associates with having
given to California the greatest reform
administration the state has ever had.
because it has done a great work N
the direction of giving the people di-
rect command over their own destiny.
But if the Press sees the present
trend Of state government clearly. there
is a prospective Capitalization of power
which is the very opposite of demo-
cratic government, and which puts
Governor Johnson and his associates
on the wrong side Of the issue.
The evils Of American politics would
be cured according to this program
by supplanting popular government
with beaurocratic organization copied
from Russia. the worst ruled modern
state. The governor. having the power
Of appointment Of bureau heads AMI
the judges Of county and state courts.
would become a new car.
In making this criticism, it should
he added that Governor Johnson and
his supporters are apparently carried
thus far by consciousness Of their own
rectitude and by zeal for the common
good. But many another person has
gone so far in pursuit of imagined good
that they have forgotten the first rules
Of proper procedure. In this case the

bill that Is coercive. The producer Is
free to go and come with his prod
uct AS he sees flt. From the bureau
of information the producer would have
full knowledge regarding prices and
market conditions, and he would be in
position to deal intelligently with an
outside dealer if he so desired.
Commission firms would be free to
continue business as they see fit. but
they would have to do business in
competition with the state produce ex-
change and on an honest basis, or thew
would get no business to do.
If enacted it would aid. STRENGTHEN
and protect the free markets in the
various cities Of the state, and all
farmers cooperative associations. as all
such organizations could work throur,
and in harmony with it, giving these
organizations the advantage of all in
formation and markets.
The enactment would have the fem
dency to place the sale Of agricultural
products on cash basis, for if the
producer had to consign his product.
and wait for future returns, he would
consign to that source in which he has
the greatest confidence, and that would
be his own commission house, the ey
