Located on Ranches in the

Service board. Of which Col. Forbes
IS the Head, arrived in Imperial Wax

the only information available comes
from the trainees, whom they have
interviewed. The men here are asked

ley; what is their treatment now on
the individual projects as compared
with the treatment they received un-
der the McDevitt project before it
was disapproved by the Imperial VAL
ley interpost council Of the American
Legion. and whether they feel that
they are enjoying hs good health
now as they did btfore they came
here, and whether they care to go
to some other place.

ley, according to Jimmie Mack, one
of the trainees, who said that he
spoke the sentiment of the entire
group of thirty. on individual pros
poets. ~
He was decidedly critical of the
so-called McDevitt plan and said
that the men were all enshared IN
to coming here with promises that
were never fulfilled and that the
picture presented before their arrival
was entirely different after they had
been here ten days.
He also said that the men had

might become owners of farms them

UNEMPLOYMENT TALk-FEsT ON.
The unemployment conference Is
still in session, but. as yet it has done
little except to pass the buck" to
governors, mayors and other local
authorities by asking them to provide
emergency work for the jobless. The
conference also recommended that
those who have jobs divide them with
those who haven't. This principle
might be termed the communication
of jobs, and, il it had been proposed
by Lenine or Trotzky, would be con-
sidered pretty radical. One former
service man who was jobless and
hungry said that if jobs were to be
divided, it ought to be equally sound
logic to divide property and he sug,
gested starting with the swollen for
tunes Of the war profteers.
OF courses, the millionaires who
compose a majority Of the members
of the conference on unemployment
could not be expected to subscribe to
any such extension Of the principle
which they applied to jobs. The con-
ference was carefully hand-picked by
Secretary Hoover and there is no pos
sibility that It's members will look be-
meath the surface to investigate the
real causes Of unemployment nor rec.
ommend the obvious remedies. That
would disturb the existing order and
both Harding and Hoover made 1t per.
fectly plain at the beginning that "our
temple needs no rebuilding"
MEXICO TOLD TO WHAT'S WHAT.
II Henry P. Fletcher, under secretary
Of state, got chummy with congress.
man the other day and told him that
Mexico would not be recognized by
the United States unless she changed
her lani laws to conform with the
wishes OF American plutocracy.
It seems that certain Americans
have huge holdings In Mexico which
they obtained by questionable meth
DDS and the Mexicans are taking these
over by the right Of eminent domain
and paying the Americans the exact
valuation that they set upon them fo1
taxation purposes This has made
some Of our millionaires very wrothy
and apparently the Administrator
will not recognize Mexico unless Mex
leo stops this drastic dealing with
monopoly.
A comparatively few individuals
own huge tracts Of land in the United
States which are held out Of use FOL
speculative purposes. Many econom
lists think there might be more gen
eral prosperity If we followed the ex'
ample of Mexico and compelled these
land hogs either to pay taxes on their
idle land or to sell it to some one who
would put It to use. Probably that is
why the Administration is putting
pressure on Mexico. Example Is some
times infectious and our plutocrats
don't want the neighborfng republic
to show us how to solve the problem
of the monopolization OF natural re-
sources. It might react at home.

HARDING PAYS RAILROADS.

The Senate did not pass the rail-
road refunding bill before recess, but
President Harding has found a way TO
make large payments to the carriers.

to the amount of $40, 900, 900 are in
the hands of the Railroad ADMINISTERS
ton and $10O,0o0,000 Of these have
been sold to Wall street bond houses
and the proceeds turned over to the
railroads. A second $100,000,000 will
be sold within few weeks.
President Harding still believes
that a 100000 loan to the rail-
roads will restore normally" and he
is determined that they shall get this
money whether Congress acts or not.
Under the terms Of the Railroad Ad-
ministration ana War Finance Board
