MANY BILLS ATTACK
CIVIL SERVICE BODY
(By United Press)

Sacramento, Feb. 24.-After reading
over the 26OO bills which have been
introduced in the Legislature, Charles
w. Reed, member of the state civil
ervice commission, reported today that
21 of the proposed measures are aimed
at civil service in the state govern
ment. They range from a bill intro
cuced by Senator j. w. Stubenbruck
of Lodi to do away with civil service
altogether, to several proposals de-
signed to weaken the system. Some
of the bills are open attacks, Reed
says, and others are covert. He in
tends to analyze each of the twenty
one measures and to petition the leg
| Iislature to turn them down. The COM
mission itself has no bills. Although
il is admitted by the members that
the present system has several defects,
they thought it better to withhold any
change raher than take chances on
having the system itself put in jeop-
ardy. In the 1915 session there were
only four bills attacking civil serv-
ice.

BARKER GOES TO
PRISON FOR
5 YEARS

George Barker, formerly employed
in Ell Centre as a bookkeeper for an
automobile concern, was sentenced to
spend five years in Folsom yesterday,
having been convicted upon a bad
check charge. Barker is married and
fis little wife has been his sole source
cf consolation since his arrest several
weeks since.
Barker was arrested in Los Ange-
les after having uttered number of
Fictitious checks in this city.
The case was thoroughly investigat-
ed and it was discovered that Barker
came of respectable family in Mich
igan. He, however, refused to give
references in that state, making it
impossible to do anything in the way
of probation.
His previous record, it is said, was
not such as would cause probation
order to be issued. 1t is understood
that Barker desired to hide his pres
ent predicament from his parents, who
had previously helped him out of
scrapes.

IMPERIAL COUNTY GETS
.$23.758.28 STATE FUNDS
FOR BENEFIT SCHOOLS
CITY OF Ell CENTRO LEADS IN
ALL DEPARTMENTS FOR
THE YEAR 1916.

In the apportionment of state
school money to the elementary
schools of Imperial county, $23,758.28
has been set aside and for the sec
ondary or high schools of the county
q total Of S5,110.27 has been appor-
toned, of which amount Ell Centro
receives $1,36O.39. This money goes
toward meeting the salaries of the
teachers employed in the various dis
tricts.
With respect to state apoprtion-
ment, it may be stated that there are
thirty-three counties out of the fifty
eight that received less than Impe-
rial county. Imperial County had
an average attendance of 1852 pupils
during 1916. The smallest average
attendance in the state occurred in
Alpine county population 9OO) where
only 25 attended.
In the apportionment of state aid
for the high schools it is shown that
Ell Centre had an average attend
ance of 227 for 1916 and will re-
ceive $1,360.39, with other cities as
follows: Brawley, average attend
ance 115, with state aid of $897.83;
Imperial, average attendance, 113,
with state aid of $8S9.57, and for
-he evening school, $4S4.S3; Holt
lille, average attendance, 88, with
tate aid of S786.32, and Calexico,
average attendance, IS, with state aid
of $691.33.
State Treasurer Richardson has ar
ranged to transfer these funds to I'M
perial county without cost of ex-
change. The law states that funds
of this nature cannot be transferred
to any other fund in the county, but
must be used in meeting the salar-
les of the teachers.

BUSINESS MEN
ENGAGED IN
SECURING
Names

In the event that the Imperial Ir-
Irigation District electors decide to
bond the district to the amount of
50, 100000 to carry out the program
of improvements and permanent
works recommended by the advisory
board of consulting engineers, the
tax increase will be less than 25
cents an acre. This figure is arrived
at as follows:
Practically 100000 acres, exclusive
of the city property, is under cultiva-
ton this year. The bonds will draw
I5 per cent interest, or a total of $685.
900 annually the first year, or 25
cents an acre tax in addition to the
present tax. Upon the same basis,
the increase in the bonded debt of
the cultivated land in the Irrigation
District is less than SIS an acre. Com
pared with the general results reached
in carrying out the proposed needed
improvements which will insure
against water shortages, the increase
in the tax is considered of slight con-
sequence.
The assessed valuation of the real
property in the Irrigation District
the past year was $26,OOO,OOO, MAX
irg the proposed bond issue less than
10 per cent of the total valuation.
Copies of the bond petition may be
found at all the banks in the Valley,
the mutual water company offices,
leading business houses and at the
office of the Irrigation District.
The concentrated effort made to-
day-"Bond Petition Day"-to get
signatures to the petition, was ex-
Iprected to result in the addition of
many names to the petition and to
aid in hurrying along the proceedings
necessary to vote on the bond is
