LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16-The Blk
by trial began today, Judge Bledsoe
of San Berninando, presiding. 1t was
announced that the trial would deal
with the charge of contributing to
the delinquency of Cloe Helen Bark
er, a nurse. The defense questions
of the first veniremen indicate an at
tempt to fill the box with non-church
men, non-family men and non-mem-
bers of anti-vice societies. The court
prevented further questioning along
the lines of religious beliefs. The in
dications were that securing a jury
would take long time.
Prosecutor Keys read the Barker
Indictment, charging that Bixby had
paid the girl $500 at the Jonquil apart
nent house, thus contributing toward
an immoral life.
Emil Landgard, an artist of Pasa-
dena. was the first talesman ques-
toned.
"Are you a man of family" he was
asked by defense attorney Davis.

Davis then asked, "Are you mem

Landgard replied, II am member

Davis asked if he would give more
credence to woman's testimony than
to mans. He replied, ''No, they are
all equal to me-"
After denying his acquaintance
with any member of the attorneys
force Landgard was temporarily pass
ed.
The question apparently settling the
defense's possible objection was "Do
YOU realize that an innocent man
might be indicted
The reply was, eyes, man would
have to be proven guilty by facts"
r. H. Finney of Pasadena was ques-
toned along the same general lines as
Landgard.
"Have you any opinion Of the de-
PENDANTS guilt or innocense!" was
asked by Davis.

Supervisors Working Out
1874 County Tax Rate

gal procedure is for the board of sup
ervisors, to some extent in the gener-
al tax levy, to provide funds for
school purposes.
This proposition Is being worked
out this afternoon with a delegation
of teachers from the Imperial district
in attendance, and in all probability
the general tax rate for the coming
year will be decided today or tomor-
row.
If the school tax is limited to the
so cents on S10O imposed as a maxi
mum by the legislature the tax rate
will be in the neighborhood of 1922
per $1O0. If school funds are raised by
a general tax on county valuations in
stead of by the special 30 cent tax on
the districts using the moneE the gen.
eral county tax rate viii be S1.52.
Imperial Valley press., 1913-09-16

The supervisors are troubled. At
the last session of the state legislat-
ure there was passed bill limiting
the special school tax the counties Of
the state may levy to 80 cents on $1GO
aside from the allotted $3.50 to each
35 pupils.

supervisors tackled the proposition of
fixing the county tax rate for the

school districts on Superintendent of

Realty Men Agree That
New Season Has Opened
With Wonderful Vig0r

this flood there are many who are
buying farms and city property,
The development of the southwest
has followed such tides as this, nov
into the city and thence back to the
farms, and just now the great over
whelming tide is out onto agricul-
tural lands, while the time has come
when Imperial valley is recognized
in the state as the choicest of all lands.
The cities will have their day again,
and they will make immense advances
beyond their present size, but Just
now is the day of the farm lands, and
there is no force in the world that ear
prevent humanity surging into tbs
valley this season or for several sea-
sons to follow.
1t is a fortunate circumstance that
while the valley is taking on such
mass of population, the demand TO.
labor is as great as it is, giving .m-
ployment to everybody coming hers
who is not prepared to buy.
Imperial valley is not discriminat-
ing. 1t welcomes rich and poor and
tenders a place for all to thrive
Imperial Valley press., 1913-09-16

There is universal agreement among
the real estate men Of Ell Centro that
both in farm and city property the
season has opened as no season ever
did before, and houses which report
splendid business all through the
summer say that this is to be a world
beater.
One danger only confronts the real
estate market, and that is that the
land owners will put the price too
high for the buyers, there being a ten
dency to advance prices too rapidly.
But the great influx Of people into
the valley is giving stimulus to the
market that nothing can overcome.
The fact is recalled that in the 80's
the great boom in Southern Califor-
mia was followed by a period of de-
preston which drove the people from
the cities into the country to develop
the resources of the land, and COM
parison is made with conditions this
