Washington, Aug. Ex-senator Robert M. LaFollette,
the dssenter and pacfist Senator sprung another
saton in the Senate today when he demanded that wealth
be conscrpted to pay the expense Of the He sug
gested that the tax bill be increased from two
billions to three billions and half with the elimination
of consumption taxes He urged less bonds and declared
that the government demanding while the peo-
pie wanted peace He contended that eighty per of
the drafted men against the present method and said
that the large bond issues only wanted by the
wealthy interests to initiate prices and increase the cost
of living.
"The Liberty loan" he said, "was made possible by
the iron hand within the kid glove and persistent adve-
tsing methods"
He urged that huge profits and the incomes of the
wealthy persons should be made to bear the burden
wealth has never yet sacrificed itself on the altar of
patriotism in any war; but the contrary it has ever
shown itself eager to take advantage of the misfortune
which war brings to the of the people, This is
certainly true of the present war;" He also declared
that the Liberty loan bonds poor investment for
the man OF small in comparison to- the advantage
to be secured by owners of large incomes who could Sc
cure large incomes by investing their millions in these
non-taxable bonds He also said that the loans of the
allies may not be paid because Russia was in the troes of
revolution ana Italy on the eve of one, according to
reports.

E SON UNKNOWN
NICHOLS WAS NOT

Imperial is to remain wet a little
longer even if the final decision favors
the dry side.
When the injunction was dissolved
by Judge Craig restraining the en-
forcement Of the ordinance making the
place dry, another injunction was Sc
cured in Los Angeles on other grounds
and the wet spot of the county has
remained wet.
The time fixed few days ago for
the hearing on the injunction arrived
and it was learned here that the at
torneys for the vets in Los Angeles
had asked for postponement and it
was granted.
Attorney Galen Nichols, who repre-
sents the drys, smiled this morning
when he said: "They had it postponed
when we were not around. ] don't

along after the first of the month
and l am going out on my vacation and
III just camp on the door step up
there till it does come up and be
ready"
Opinion is generally divided as to
the merits of the case which attacks
the legality of the preliminary pro-
ceedings. Should the injunction be
made permanent, then Imperial will be
the same old focal point it has been
and is now, and if the injunction is
dissolved, the the place will lose in
terest for a great many people.
1t is said the cost Of the big fight
on the election will reach more than
ten thousand dollars.

MAN TAKEN
FOR GAMBLING
WITH BOYS
CHARGED WITH CONTRIBUTING
TO DELINQUENCY
AGE LIMIT RAISED
ALLEGED THAT BOYS PLAYED
POKER AT HIS HOUSE
Raided the Other Night and Only
GrOwn-ups Found, but Money
and Chips Confiscated

Charged with contributing 70 the
delinquency of minors, Albert Grosch
was jailed yesterday evening and
shortly after released on 5000 fail fur
nished by friends.
The accused man was arrested In g.
raid on his house few nights ago
along with two other men and poker
paraphernalia was confiscated at the
time. The men were allowed to go
temporarily.
The charge of gambling and keeping
a gambling house was not made, but
an investigation by Probation Officer
Swanson revealed condition. accord.
ing to his statement, that warranted
the swearing out of warrant, per-
haps the first Of its kind to be issued
in the county. In other words, 1t
charges Grosch with contributing to
the delinquency Of number Of minors
by permitting them to play cards for
money in his place.
In discussing the action Officer
Swanson said: "The law on this SUBJ
ject is sweeping and includes any mi
nor. You are contributing to the de-
linquency of boy when you induce
him to smoke cigarettes, enter. pool
hall, drink, gamble or do number Of
other things. The age limit has re-
Gently been raised from eighteen TO
twenty-one years and It seems to cover
almost any case"
According to Mr.. Swanson, the boys
went there a number Of times and won
md lost money. They were also, ae-
cording to the same authority, invited
back and arrangements made for the
next game.
The law is strict on this subject
and there is a maximum fine Of $1,000
dollars and two years Imprisonment.
This, Of course, is optional with the
court.

Hereafter cotton pickers other than
Mexicans will not be allowed to sleep
on ditch banks or in shacks, but
must be properly housed, according to
advices received by the Labor Com
missioner from the State Labor De-
partment.
Also, at a conference yesterday be-
tween farm bureau officials, cotton
growers and the Labor Commissioner,
the prices for picking cotton were
fixed. A minimum rate of $1.25 a
hundred for short staple and $1.50 a
hundred for long staple was fixed by
the conference.
N. J. Davenport, Imperial County
Farm Labor Agent, advises that all
the farmers throughout the Valley
who are in need of labor get in touch
with the bureau at FL Centre, as they
are in touch with idle labor in the
Valley at the present time.
1t is the earnest desire of the Coun-
ty Farm Labor Bureau that the price
paid throughout the Valley for pick
ng cotton be not in excess of SIPS
for short staple and $3.50 for long
staple. By cooperation of the farm
ers at large in maintaining this stand
ard wage, it will eliminate competition
Cor labor
This is merely one Of the prelim-
nary steps of centralizing and eco
nomically handling the supply and de-
mand and should have the cooperation
of the entire Valley.
In letter of instruction Mr.. Daven-
port says:
"You have authorized the deduction
Of 35 cents per bale of cotton and 10
cents per ton of corn to be made by
the gins and grain buyers and to be
turned over to the County Council of
Defense for the purpose of securing
labor.
I'VE would suggest that every en-
ployer of labor provide respectable
camping accommodations, proper san
itary conveniences and a supply of
clear drinking water in so far as local
conditions permit. The following is

London, Aug. 21.-The Germans this
morning made furious counter at
tack in an effort to retake the posi-
tions near Epehy recently taken by
the British but were completely re-
pulsed with heavy losses. Equally de-
termined efforts were made to take
the positions recently captured by the
French on the Verdun front, but the
German were beaten back with exl
treme losses. The number of prisoners
taken by the French already reaches
5000.
Canadians Great Work

Fifteen minutes after the clash came
the Germans made last stand on

retreated rapidly.
Italians Winning
Over 10000 prisoners were taken by
the Italians to date in their new often

1sonzo front continues. The Austrian
line is beginning to bend and to give

HUNDREDS ON THE EAST SIDE

Ranchers Say They Are as Plentiful
as in the Winter Months and
Doing Damage to Corn

For some unexplained reason the
east side on the highline is having
visitation of ducks that is equal nu'
merically to the winter months wher
they are always plentiful.
A well known rancher from about
twenty miles east of Brawley was in
the city this morning and said that
he had never seen so many ducks fly
ing as this year and that they were
eating the corn and doing lot of dam
age thereby.
A few mornings ago he killed twenty
in two shots and his son the next
morning bagged dozen They are
shooting them to protect the corn.
In the early days in the Valley ducks
were so plentiful that they were con-
slant menace to crops and destroyed
great quantities Of corn and barley,
especially barley. Game laws were a
dead letter because the farmer had TO
protect his crops and the same is true
now.
Last winter ducks were again nu-
merous and hunters secured big bags
all over the east side, while down in
Mexico there was regular hunters
paradise.
