Imperial Valley press., 1920-01-24

Indiana is celebrated for its authors
and politicians and natives are proud
to be called Hoosers. Ever since the
days of "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" the
state has been a powerful factor in ma
tional affairs and residents have stud
led politics as they have in few other
states. If Imperial valley can get the
support of Indiana members of con
gress, a great benefit will accrue to the
Kettner bill for an All-American Canal
and Soldier Settlement. The home of
some of the greatest industries, Indiana
is, withall, an agricultural state, and
from it many Imperial valleE>farmers
have come. Every person who has
ever lived in Indiana is urged to write
to the representatives from that state,
asking them to support and vote for
the Kettner bill.
If in doubt as to what to write, con-
suit Secretary McIver of the Imperial
Irrigation district. He will furnish
you with data, will write letters If you
desire, and in any other way aid you.
Letters to congressman should be adj
dressed to the House Office Building,
Washington d. c. You can also be of
great assistance if you will ask friends
and relatives in Indiana to, write to
congressman.

j. S. CHAMBER
ASKS SUPPORT
LOCAL CHAMBER

Word has been received from the
United States Chamber of Commerce,
Washington, d. c., urging every Cham
Der in the country support the two
resolutions adopted by that board on
January 20. 8
The first resolution, regarding Eu
ropean relief, was passed by a unani-
nous vote of the members. 1t reads:
"RESOLVED that the board of Dir
ectors of the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States of America urgently
recommends that Congress IN order to
avert famine and to promote the re-
litical conditions the countries of
entral Europe and Armenia author
ize the Uited States Grain Corporation
or other suitable agency to purchase
and to transport to those countries
where famine is imminent and the
governments of which are unable
through lack of necessary resources
to provide for the subsistence of their
peoples food SUPPLIES and other nee
essaries to sell such supplies on credit
TO the governments of said countries
and so to regulate their ditribution as
most effectively to provide for the
prompt and sufficient relief of the
in need and that Congress
such sum as may be nee
essary for that purpose"
At the same meeting OF the Cham
ber adopted the following resolution in
regard to the peace treaty:
"WHEREAS the progress and the
safety of the world demand it and
whereas in order that the vital inter-
est of the United States and its ma
tioal is Europe may be fully protect
ed and the attention of our govern
our people may be concetrat
ed upon our domestic problems it is
that the Peace Treaty be
ratified Immediately, NOW THERE
FORE BE 1T RESOLVED that the
Board of Directors of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States of
America hereby urge the President
and the Senate to take prompt action
with respect of the Treaty of Peace
with Germany with such reservations
as will fully safeguard every funda-
mental principle of the Government
of the United States"

CITY FATHERS
CONSIDER RAISE
IN WATER RATES

Water rates in FL Centre may be
raised. .
The city council is considering plan
of City Clerk w. E. Van Way for a
raise in rates. This, in Mr.. Van Ways
opinion, is necessary because of the
advances in the cost of all comodities
within the past two years.
The city council is however, adverse
to raising the rates at present, giving
as a reason the need for economy
wherever possible.
In presenting his plan to the council,
Mr.. Van Way pointed out that there
has been no raise III water rates in Ell
Centre since 1914, while the cost Of
labor has increased 100 per cent, the
cost of pipe, 500 per cent and the cost
of fuel oil nearly 100 per cent, making
it nearly impossible to operate the
system without loss. tHIi9"ta
Mr.. Van Way stated that no eX-
tensions could be made because of the
lack of funds and that no repairs and
requirements were being made, such
hs should be made. ~'t"ta+ 9'} t
The present price of water is 121a
cents thousand gallons.
Althoug tabled by the council It is
feXpected that the matter will come up
again in the near future.

Throughout the country the librar-

articles on liquor and receipts fdr

quantities, an the librarian cf the
'El Centro public library was asked if
the books in the local library, con-
tanning such articles were to be with
drawn from the shelves. Miss Agnes
Ferris, librarian replied that therd
were no books in this library on the
subject, except a shelf full Of books
on the evils of alcoholism.
It was pointed out to Miss Ferris
that the Encyclopaedia Britannica
carried in full detail the methods of
brewing beer and other beverages.
Miss Ferris explained that it would
'be very hard to eliminate the entire
workes for the sake of one or two
pages on that subject. The librarian
'llso stated that the set dide not be-
long to the city, but was the property
Iof the county library and should the
board see fit it might return the books
to the county.
