The principal plea OF most of the
directors to the ratification of the
treaty and League of Nations was
that they wanted to preserve the
Monroe Doctrine. All the countries
of South and Central America, with
the exception of Mexico, have joined
the League and are looking to it for
protection. The United States is re-
garded as an outlaw and would be
considered an obnoxious meddler if
it attempted to interfere in any dis
pute as between these countries or
any one of them and = foreign ma

DISTRICT TAX
RATE To TAKE
BIG JUMP,
FORECAST
Directors Wrestle with Bud
get, Make Cuts Here and
There and Try to Solve
Financial Problems; Set
Rate Soon. a..

From the masses of estimates and
figures before the beard of direc-
tors of the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict today. it appeared that the tax
rate for 1920 and 1922 would be in
the vicinity Of S195 an acre. This
will be an increase Of dollar from
last years rate, which was 9J cents
an acre.
This figure is only approximate for
it is doubtful if even the directors
know more than approximately what
the rate will be. The basis of tn .
wears tax rate will be the rate OF
last year, which was for interest alone
and of course this is stationary. This
amounted to 95 cents an acre last
year.
. The eyact amount of improvements
to be included in the budget. is yet to
be determined, the amount Of money
to be raised to take care Of outstand-
ing warrants, and various other sums
are all undetermined.
The district this year is changing
its fiscal year from September 80 to
January l. so that all estimates are
for the coming Is months instead of
the newt 12 This will. necessarily
make the tax rate appear higher than
it actually is, when estimated on the
usual basis of 12-mOnth year.
Estimated expenditures of all kinds,
including everything, are roughly 81
100000, and this figure may be Saised
CT lowered according to the degree of
economv which the directors exercise.
1t is estimated that water tax receipts
for the next Is months, will run close
to $1,900,000 so that there will be
approximately 100000 to be made up
by direct taxation, and this is roughly
a dollar an acre, which should be add
cd to the basic interest tax rate of
95 cents.
All valuations this year are on an
assessed valuation of 500 an acre. in
stead Of $50 an acre as it was last
year.
Today. it was expected that the tax
rate would be set late this afternoon
or tomorrow by the board and it was
apnarent that the injunction secured
yesterday by several water companies
will not deter the directors from 60
ing ahead with their work.

gency Fund.

The tremendous bombshell thrown
in the camp of the irrigation directors
yesterday by seven water companies,
when they secured restraining order
from Judge Franklin j. Cole, prohibit
ing the board from making levy to
pay Mark Roses claim of $76,220,
turned out to be dud. for the di-
rectors calmly went about their busi-
ness today as if nothing had occurred.
The tax rate will be set, without
regard to the restraining order for
the reason that the directors never
specifically make any levy for a par
ticular thing or bill, hence the levy
is to pay for entire expense Of the
company and not for special items.
There is no disposition on the part
of the board to evade the law, but it
was suggested this morning that the
contingency fund. which usually
amounts to some 100000. would be
large enough to take ere of the $76,-
900 bill after the matter is adjusted,
if it We're found necessary.
No statement from the legal di-
vision Of the district was made today
and the individual directors reclined
to be quoted, although they freely ex-
pressed their opinions.

With the apprehension of one
Henry Morgan, 26 years old, by the

in Holtville. comes to light one of the
most complicated cases brought to
their attention in the past year. Nor

merchants of CaleXico.
The checks were issued on the
Hamilton National Bank, Hamilton,

bank in Missoula, Montana. They

and $3.50. He had purchased a saddle,
with which he was going to work on
the C-M Ranch, according to story
told the police, two automobile tires,
valued at 500 apiece and other
goods.
He had in his possession a Haynes
automobile, alleged by the officials to
have been stolen. MOROCCAN stated
that he had purchased the machine
from a dealer in Hamilton for $630O
According to C. E. Green, local au-
tomobile dealer, the Haynes Six, of
that model sells for $4,000. A discre-
pancy appears here in the mans story
according to Sheriff Applestill.
The license plate on the Haynes
car was taken from a Buick, 1918
model and issued to a man named
Henry Robinson, according to wire
received from the motor vehicle de-
partment of Montana today in re-
sponse to the message sent by Sheriff
Applestill. In the lining of the suit
case belonging to Morgan, found in
the machine was found two license
plates, number Dealer-354. Wires
have been sent the secretary of state
at Helena asking for data and infor-
nation on the number. 1t is thought
: these are the original numbers on
the Haynes car. 1t is hoped that the
information will lead to the identifi-
cation of the owner. 1t is evident
that the Haynes was taken from the
dealer by MOROCCAN while feinting a
probable purchase of the car. Who
the man was and where he is now re-
mains unsolved.
That Morgan and Robson is one
and the same, is the theory advanced
by Sheriff Applestill.
