OF
MEX|CAL| WATTS
CLOSING ED|CT

Mexicali's underworld is tense with
expectation today awaiting at any mo-
ment word from Cantu officials that
the line" is to be permanently clos
ed, and with it all the features which
have made it known around the world.
Rumor has it that the Owl will nev-
err reopen; that it's proprietors will no
longer pay the $4,000 a month tax
its has paid for years and consent to
keep its doors closed and locked.
Those whose livelihood depends di-
rectly or inirectly upon the underworld
are waiting and watching. Gossip is
rife, and those who claim to be on the
inside say October 1 will see the end
Of conditions which have prevailed
there for years, or that arrangements
will be made to reopen the saloons
and three tables each will be allowed
Mexican saloon keepers.
The recent execution of two soldiers,
it is reported, caused Governor Cantu
to clamp on the lid.
And nobody will really know the
answer until Wednesday.

LAND BOARDS
SETTLEMENT IS
HIGHLY PRAISED

State Controller John S. Chambers
has sent Arthur NJ. Nelson, county
development agent. a copy of an ar
ticle he has prepared on the agricul-
ture of California in which high
praise is given the state land board S
settlement at Durham and in which
reference is made to the remarkable
development of Imperial Valley.
"What a splendid thing is the land
settlement project at Durham, in
Butte county" writes Mr.. Chambers.
"The only criticism so far made
against it is that the great majority
of the settlers there came from other
parts of California, and not from
outside the state. This is true. Land
colonization in America is new
thing. We first had to demonstrate
its feasibility before hoping to at
tract others not of California.
$50 successful has been the Dur
ham project that eleven other states
today are planning to follow the ex-
ample of California, while Canada,
Australia and other governments
have agents to investigate our
progress. In addition the recent leg
lilative appropriation of $1,000,000
for the enlargement of the colonial
tion plans of the board, under the
able leadership of DR.. Elwood Mead,
while at the next general election
there will be submitted to the peo-
pie bond issue in the sum of S10,-
100000 to further expand this Won
derful work in the interest of agri-
culture"
Referring to Imperial valley Mr..
Chambers quotes the figures recently
sent out by the county development
agents office.
"Let us look for moment also at
Imperial county, once a desert, and
today one of the garden spots of the
Golden State. In 1910 the assessed
valuation in Imperial was $12, ,14S, ,1S0
In 1919 it is $40,350,450 due to the
development of it's agricultural posi-
bilities, based on irrigation. In 1910
about 6000 acres in Imperial were
given over to the growing of cotton
Today that acreage has been multipli-
ed almost ten times. The population
has increased from less than $4,000 to
over $4,000 and the total value OF
all products from $5,000,000 to $50,
900, 900. VIZ

A Few Words From a Business
Man to Business Men

The city editor of the Los Angeles Examiner sent
reporter to interview the head of business firm which is
making great success with its trade in South America
China, and India.
The reporter got three minutes of the mans time and
column story.
Into that three minutes and that column crowded
good deal of worthwhile information and sound advice
The soundest of the advice was this: WHEN THERE
is BIG THING TO GO AFTER AND YOU CAN'T GO
YOURSELF, SEND BETTER MAN"
One of the great mistakes of business is trying
money. Trying to make cheap do good mans job
Many sale has been lost; many profit has been
thrown away because the sent to do the job wasn't
big as the job required
In the ordinary walks of life you hire man to do
something because of of two Either you do
not want to do yourself the can do better than
you
The you pay to cobble your shoes better shoe
maker than you
The man who paints your house is better painter.
The man who drives your automobile is better
chauffeur
Why, then, should you hire man to do business for
you who knows less about it than you do?
This does not mean that young men should not be
taken In and trained in your business That necessity
But of New Yok best known business coined for
himself and his associates this advice You must suit
the man to the job not the job to the man.
The Los Angeles merchant right and he has proved
1t by his success when he said when there is big thing
to go after and you can't go yourself send better man

Mr.. Goods Amendment
Congress Does Not Intend to Do Injustice to Low
Salaried Workers


Wednesday the House scheduled to resolve itself into
Committee of the Whole consider the of Govern
ment workers and their salaries
Attached to the Nolan minimum wage bill, which will
be discussed an amendment offered by Congressman Good
last Wednesday and adopted by the committee.
This clause provides that the $240 increase granted
Government employees for the current year be computed
part of their base pay.
The House passed this amendment in Committee Of the
Whole probably without the full understanding of its far
reaching results.
This act would take from employees in the lower
sared grades large part Of their $24O increase 1t would
strike hardest at the very persons who most in need
Of increase in salary
These include many employees of the customs service,
custodian force of the Federal buildings Bureau of Engav
ing and Printing penitentiares, Bureau of Fisheries,
libraries and schools of the Government and the District
Congress should give consideration to these facts:
The $40 increase to Government workers tern
porary expedient confined to this year only
The Nolan bill is permanent legislation recognition
Of the principle that the War Labor Board has adopted
that of the living wage.
Congress will do well to pass the Nolan bill It will
be tardy act of justice.
But justice lies in the Good amendment which would
deprive those who most need of the increase in salary
sccruing to those in higher grades
The House should reconsider its action on this amend
men and find out what the clause really Then it
will be voted down
Congress does not intend to discriminate against the
salersalaried employe of the Government and of the
District.
It viii see that justice is done in this case

Something About Citizens
Who Work Sub Rosa
By BILL PRICE.

ROY c. CLAFLIN, chairman of the citizens joint COM
mttee for the election of the Board of Education by direct
vote of the people of the District writes me letter full Of
pertinent thought for home folks
In it he touches upon "sub rosa" citizens who use
their influence in many subtle ways to thwart what are
clearly the wishes of great majority of local people
In an acquaintance of some years with Washington
have often these gentlemen with the velvet
covered hammers who tell you things sub roa who
dare out openly with their views antagonm to the
of the people There too many of them for the
good of the city They have stood in the way progress
for many years. As rule their Interests" generally
financial at the bottom of their underground work
There is always respect for the who opposes any
ment in open manly fashion but there be love for
that class which snoops around and makes objections in
whispers shrug while often pretending to support the
cause they secretly knocking,
These sub gentlemen have had entirely too much
influence with Congress- which has not had time to obtain
analyses Of the zeal back of their statements
Here is Mr. CLAFIIN'S letter:
