reason for this unrest is lot due to tn var but to the needless cos of nv-
ing as it is bolstered up by var profteers. We do not want to see the o

which workers will voice their protect There is not much danger of any
general vo:cng through the l. w. W, which draws to it radicals, but there
is a chance for socialism 10 grow n many places.
The things that will check socialism will be ant-war pohteerng leg
isIaton, price control, and the effective administration of such laws.
But as the case stands about he most potent cause for the socialist
boom at Dayton is the joyrdine in steel, coal and food prices, something
that effects all other products. And the Dayton ocaIsts nay thank the
needless st44oooooo quarterly dividends OF the steel trust which represent
a war taxation upon all of Us. as one of the best arguments why their ten

discomfort find its expression through socialism. That the demand for action
IS widespread is shown that in the past few days the governors of Kan
as, Illinois and Indiana have by word and action denounced those who
set extortionate profits above HI countrys needs.

APPEAL TAKEN
IN INGRAM
SENTENCE

After about an hours deliberation,
when one mans insistence is said to
have swung the other five jurors into
line for a verdict by unanimous con-
sent, A. G. Ingram of Imperial was
found guilty of bringing beer into Ca
lcxico, knowing that it was to be
sold in the supposedly dry precinct.
The first vote is said to have been
S to l for conviction, but on later
ballot, the jury stood to 8.
Recorder Green handed CI. the stiff
fest sentence yet imposed on any per-
son convicted Of liquor charge. He
fined Ingram $500 and sentenced hin,
to serve 80 days in the county Jail.
Later he suspended the Jail sentence,
but not the fine.
Attorney Harry N. Dyke, represent
ing Ingram, gave notice of appeal to
the Superior court, and announced that
the case would be strongly contested.
His ground for appeal was that the
evidence was insufficient to warrant
conviction.
The beer was ordered confiscated
by the city marshal. 1t will be
sealed and locked up in the city hall,

rior court trial.

ABOUT ROAD
FLOODING

Sacramento, May 1.-THE State
Board of Education has passed res

being taught the German national
songs. The department referred the
matter to Adjutant General Borree,
who wrote to the Board of Educa
ton.
