ONE REGISTRATION
ONLY is REQUIRED

CALEXICO, Oct. 1.-THE efforts
of the Calexico Chamber of Commerce
to have the immigration regulation
changed so that autos will not have
to come to a complete stop everytime
they cross the line and will not have
to be registered at the customs house,
has brought the following telegram
from Collector Spriggs:
Referring to your wire of today,
automobile registration is treasury
regulation, put into effect at all border
ports of this district. 1t was not in
tended as, nor is it believed to be, re-
strant of legitimate business. as, af-
ter first registration, no delay will be
ioccasioned to we'll known residents"
brand you if you combat their unwise
fads. Because a man is against the
so-called municipal ownership pro-
gram of these power development
propagandists does not mean that hc
is lined up with any power trust nor
against municipal ownership under
proper conditions.
"Please believe that the burden OF
government ought properly to rest
with the representatives. of the people
not with a bureaucracy. And th'
most pertinent and important question
in government is that of taxation.
'To my mind it is not the job Of
Los Angeles to perform this Boulder
Canyon task. 1t is the job of the Fed
eral government. or group of states
but in any event, under the absolut
supervision and control of the Unite.
States government"
