GREAT RUBBER
COMPANY ENTERS
VALLEY FIELD

The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany has definitely entered the Imperial
valley field to make it an additional
source of supply for Pima long staple
cotton. Following conferences today be-
tween officials Of the Southwest Cot
ton Company, a Goodyear organization,
was announced that 10000 acres Of long
staple cotton will be grown by Imperial
valley men this season.
TO start the industry here the South
west Cotton Company will erect several
gins, assist in financing growers on
crop mortgages at 8 per cent. interest,
guarantee minimum price of 60 cents
basis and agree to buy the cotton at
whatever the market may be.
The Goodyear company will install
this season two twelvestand gins, one
in the north end Of the Valley and one
in the south. They are of special type
and will cost $4,000.
. Pressing Need
The pressing need for long staple has
prompted the Goodyear organization to
extend it's operations to Imperial valley.
Representatives Of the company have
made careful survey and assert that
there is no question but that the Valley
can grow this cotton and probably with
greater profit than the short staple. Re-
Gently a delegation Of prominent I'm
perial valley growers visited the Salt
River valley Of Arizona, where the
Southwest Cotton Company is operating
10000 acres of land. In three years
that valley has jumped from 1000 to 93,-
900 acres, primarily due to the Good
year company's efforts. The staple
reached &c cents per pound the past
season and is still being bought by the
Southwest Cotton Company for Good
year at S11& cents.
The value of the 1919 crop is ap-
proximately $1s,O0O,0OO, about 70 per
cent of which will be purchased for
Goodyear. Next seasons acreage is es-
timated between 125,00O to 100000,
which is the limit of profitable cotton
acreage for that valley.

AVIATION FIELD
SEVERAL PLANS

A number Of sites for the proposed
aviation field have been received by
Jasper L. Travers, president Of the
chamber Of commerce. during the past
few days.
According to Mr.. Travers, the most
feasible of these locations is the one
owned by w. T. Bill, which is Just north
Of Villa Acres. There are 70 acres of
land and Nr. Bill has offered it to the
city for years lease at SIS per acre,
per year. At the end Of two years. il
the city % desires, it may purchase
the land for $3.50 per acre.
The other proposals range from $25
to $35 per acre for rental and $40e if
bought
In the contract which Mr.. Travers
received from the officer in charge Of
aviation, San Francisco, all that IL re-
quested Of the city is the land and the
domestic water supply. The govern.
ment will build the Barracks, hangers

in Asia and Africa Superiority in

that Of artillery in siege warfare

mobile operations are possible,
where fanks are in the air and con.

where communications are long,

as saying. "The principal difficulty is
the shortage Of labor. We cannot get

will heartily agree that the City of ssw

real snowfall that comes but once i,

The Wadsworth Issue
Easier to Forgive Than to Elect Him,
Ii Would Appear

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: | am a Republican. and wish
to see this state elect a Republican
to the United States Senate. where
more Republicans are so clearly
needed. am. therefore, opposed to
the party's renominating Senator
Wadsworth, who. in my opinion, cum
no, be reelected.
Whctf er we agree or disagree with
the Senator's stand, We must admit
that as a candidate he has the fol- ow-
ing serious disadvantages: First, he
is against prohibition, and the state
(outside of the City of New York,
which is normally Dem ,cratic any
how is strongly in favor of prohibi-
t'on. Second. he is opposed to woman
suffrage, and the favorab majority
o; 1917 has been immensely increased
since then by the vote of the women
Third, he is identified in the public
mind with Barnes. and it is quito
clear that the love and admiration Of
II g soters are turning more and more
toward the memory Of Theodore
Roosevelt and less and less toward his
determined opponent.
Why should the party weight itself
in critical year with such a din
cult candidate? The only answer I
ever receive is that Jimmie il such
good fellow" Very possibly he is,
but are there not other fellows in
the party equally good and somewhat
easier to elect?

Primary-Shy Candidates.

There is curious note Of aloof-
ness and unrealty in Mr.. McAdoo's s
letter declining to have his name
used on any Presidential primary
ballot. Many states have passed
laws compelling the direct choice of
delegates to national party conven-
tions and forcing candidates to sub
NIT their names to the voters. But
Mr.. McAdoo turns away solemnly
from the modern experiment of
bringing the great mystery of the
nomination of a Presidential candi-
date down to the people.
Evidently he thinks the mystery
o. selection is profaned in that man.
ner. He says: II cannot consist
emily enter the primary in any
state. when it Is my earnest convic-
ton that the delegates from every
state should 60 to the convention
without instruction, save to use their
power and opportunity for the best
service of the country"
The ex-Secretary of the Treasury
advocates the abolition Of the unit
rule in Demo- ratio national conven-
tions. But he seems to fall short of
the full possib:l ties of regeneration
in mt suggesting the abolition IF the
two-th.ras rule also and the exclu-
sion of office-ho.ders from member
ship. But, even with these improve
nents, would the McAdoo unin-
structed, primary-free national con-
venti9n commend itself to the iudp-
ment of the voters, who only within
tie last ten years have been able to
break into control in national con-
vcntions?
Mr.. McAdoo probably didn't real
ze how completely he was look ng
backward when he eu!ogized the old
national convention system, which so
long stood between the voters and
Presidential nominations. He writes
2oetically of great, untrammeled
democratic conference, such as
never was in the past, and therefore
couldn't possibly be reconstructed.
, hut why "untra mme,ed" delegates?
II they are to represent the voters
properly why shouldn't they carry
. Instructions from the voters? Where
is the ultimate depository Of p,wer
and Judgment? If you don't tram
mel the delegates you trammel the
voters.
