RESIGN POSTS

In the first clash of sentiment over
the policy of the Imperial Irrigation
District solving the Valleys water
problems, Fred S. Lack, of Brawley
nd J. C. Allison, of Calexico, have re-
signed as members of the Washing
ton Committee.
The letters formally presenting the
resignation of the two members, who
are dissenting with the majority of
the committee after having been in
Washington for several weeks, were
received by the directors of the dis
trct at this mornings session.
Mr.. Lack is the appointee Of the AS
sociated Chambers Of Commerce to
the committee and in the past cleo
tions and controversies over the wa
ter question has been the acknowledge
ed leader of the faction boosting the
reclamation service plan.
Mr.. Allison is former chief engin-
eer of the Irrigation district and has
taken a more or less active interest in
water affairs.
With some little discussion, the
most of it centering about an inter
change of courtesies between Presi-
dent Nickerson and Director McPher-
rim, the board accepted the resigna
tions and instructed Secretary Nc
Ivor to wire the action taken to the
committee.
Messrs Lack and Allison in their
letter of withdrawal inferentially
criticise the majority or the commits
sion The division Of sentiment lead
ing up to the designations was over
the possibility of the passage CT the
bill and methods of procedure.

BIG GANG IN
4 AN[)o(j d: {:
POLICE: HER: He: [: + + {:

Reading more like yellow back
dime novel, the continuity coming like
it does in cheap melodrama, with the
cast full of Williams who are finally
brought to face the law by the hero,
reads the story of the round UP of
the men alleged to have robbed Var
ney's Brawley store last month.
Included in the membership Of the
gang, which according to the officers
had reached colossal proportions were
two counterfieters, one murderer, who
it is said recently escaped from the
Arizona prison at Florence, one go
between, one fence and seven burglars
The haul was made by the county Of
fcers assisted by Harry Krotz, mana
ger of Varney Brothers CaleXico store
and by John Dye, Il peace officer from
the south end of the valley.
The first intimation of the size of
the gang was had when Dye arrested
one of the men who tried to sell him
some of the booty obtained from the
Brawley store. This man informed on
seven other members of the gang who
were rounded up at divers points in
the valley,
l.. Domingucz, q merchant at MeXi-
cali, was, according to the others, the
real brains of the gang. 1t is said
that at one time he contracted with a
second hand store in CaleXico for six
thousand dollars worth of merchan-
disc to be delivered at a later date.
There is not much doubt but that
this hugh amount of merchandise
would have been stolen from Narney
Brothers CaleXico store.
The two counterfieters, Molino and
Vasquez are charged with having rails
ed one dollar bills to ten dollar bills,
several complaints of which have been
received at the office of the district
attorney. Each of these men accuses
the other of the offense and denies the
guilt himself.
Their bonds were fixed yesterday
and they will be given their prelimi-
nary hearing next Friday.

COPIES OF SECRETARY
GLASS'S REACH VALLEY

tary of the Treasury does not issue
certificates of Indebtedness of ma
turity greater than one year and long
borrowing is being done by the issue
of bonds or notes.
| am forced to the conclusion that
the credit of the United States gov
ernment would be injuriously affect
ed and it's financial operations en-
barrassed were this bill to become
law, isposing as it does upon the
Secretary of the Treasury the neces-
sity of issiing obligations of the GER
tifcates Of indebtedness, of maturities
and rates of interest determined with
out regard to the judgment of the
Secretary of the Treasury as to the
financial requirements of the United
States as whole and as to financial
expediency in the face of the then
existing market conditions, and with
out reference to whether the United
States is already amply provided with
funds or may Obtain them on easier
terms.
/ therefore urge your committee
very strongly, if it should determine
that the project is metitorious, to deal
with the matter in the simple old
preparation of specific amount for
fashioned way and make direct ap-
the purpose, leaving the Secretay of
the Treasury, acting as he aoes in
such matters under the general au-
thority conferred upon him by Con-
gress, to finance the requirements of
the project as from time to time may
be found eXpedient.
l notice that Section 10 of the bill
provides that the certificates of in
debtedness which the Secretary of the
Treasury is ordered to issue shall be
exempt from taxes or duties of the
United States, although under the
Second Liberty Bond Act and sub
sequent legislation it has been the
practice of the Treasury Department
to issue certificates of indebtedness
subject, except to a very limited ex-
tent, to Federal sur-taX and profits
taxes.
1t is perhaps not improper to OBJ
serve that. although the whole bur-
den of financing the project is i'm
posed upon the Secretary of the
Treasury under the bill, all financial
matters with respect to the irriga-
tion district bonds, which are the sole
security of the United States for IT'S
investment, are to be determined not
by the Secretary of the Treasury but
| by the Secretary of the Interior. 1t
| is also worthy of note that Section
8, of the bill, provides that the surplus
proceeds of sale of the certificates are
10 be applied to the payment Of the
! interest on the irrigation district bonds
that isto say, the proceeds of sale of
obligations Of the United States are
to be used in part to pay the indebted
ness of the irrigation districts.
l observe also that under the bill
there is no limit whatever to the
amount of irrigation district bonds
which the Secretary of the interior
is directed to purchase nor, conse,
quently, to the amount of the certifi
Gates of Indebtedness which the Sec.
retary Of the Treasury must issue t,
finance the project.
Yours very truly,
CARTER GLASS
Imperial Valley press., 1919-07-08

The adverse report Of Secretary of
the Treasury Glass on the Swing bill
has reached the Irrigation district and
is as follows:
Washington, June 80, 1919
Hon. M. p. Kinkaid,
House of Representatives
Washington, d. c.
My Dear Congressman:
| received your letter of June 19,
with the enclosed copy of H. R.6044
introduced by Mr.. Kettner, and ap-
preciate very much the opportunity
the committee has afforded me to
give my official advice concerning the
financial and bonding features Of the
bill. had personal visit from Sena-
tor Pheqan and Congressman Kettner
in relation to the matter and have
given it the careful consideration
which | promised them it should have.
Reluctantly l am compelled to say
that the features concerning which
you ask my advice are wholly unten-
able from the Treasury point of view.
The bill imposes upon the Treasury
of the United States the burden Of
financing an irrigation project, but
attempts to avoid making an appro-
priation for the purpose, which would
be the orderly and businesslike thing
to do if the project is found by Con
gress to be sound and one which the
United States should undertake to
finance, by directing the Secretary of
the Treasury, as funds may be re-
quired for the purpose Of the Bill, to
sell certificates of Indebtedness. the
principal and interest thereo: 70 be-
come due not less than sixty days
after the due date of the principal
and interest of certain irrigation dis
trict bonds provided for in the act,
not exceeding, however, forty years.
1t is not difficult to see what in
jury to the finances of the United
States would be done by this legisla-
tion. | hope before the end of the
coming fiscal year that the Govern
ment of the United States will not
only be meeting all it's expenditures
out of current revenues without fur
ther borrowing, but that it will have
embarked upon the retirement of the
war debt as contemplated by the ex-
press requirements of the Victory
Liberty Loan Act. Yet under this
bill, in order to avoid the appear
ances of an appropriation out of the
public Treasury the Secretary of the
Treasury would be obligated to sell
certificates of Indebtedness of certain
specified maturities, determined not
by action of the Secretary Of the
Treasury in the interest of the Uni
ted States but by the action of the
authorities having the power under
the laws of the State Of California of
issuing such irrigation district bonds
and to sell such certificates without
reference to the cash necessities of
the United States and even though
! the United States might be amply
provided with funds from current re-
venues or from loans already made
TO meet the necessary expenditures.
You will observe also that under
the proposed bill the Secretary of the
Treasury would be obliged to issue
securities called certificates of indebt-
edness and of maturity perhaps as
great as forty years. althoug' under

which during the flood recession hugs
the opposite shore and forces sand

In the superintendent opinion the

have made it difficult to divert the
