TRUSTEES CUT SALARIES

Imperial City trustees have taken
definite action toward reducing taxes
in this city by cutting their own sal
aries. Instead of meeting regularly
every week, as has been the costom
heretofore, they decided at a recent
meeting to hold their sessions once a
month. The meeting is to be on the
first Wednesday of the month. Each
of the five trustees receives So per
day for each meeting attended. Elm
ination of the three meetings month
will save the city practically three
fourths of the salaries paid to the of
ficials. The city trustees also voted
to establish chaingang for city pris-
oners to do much needed work, but
when Marshal H. T. Dizney was call
ed upon to provide members for the
gang, it was found that the Imperial
City Jail, unlike those of the other val
lev towns, was quite empty.

to say that the question of getting 4
new system of rural credits put into
law and into operation is one of the
foremost questions calling for the ac-
ton of congress.
l am hopeful that legislation can
be secured on all three of these ques-
tons, and legislation which will be
effective. The three matters | have
mentioned are the distinctive ones for
which we shall work this winter, but
there are many other things which the
agricultural members of both houses
must consider.
In some quarters, the term agri-
cultural "bloc" has been used in deri-
sion or criticism. This criticism is not
well-founded. We are not trying to
do anything for agriculture which
would be harmful to the rest of the
country.
1t is rather interesting to see folks
who are perfectly willing to stand
1OT IdTllI uloC, III u iuo'
"bloc," for dye monopoly "bloc,
and so on, arising in their wrath when
they hear of the agricultural "bloc." "
The efforts of the agricultural
"bloc" for legislation and for proper
action by officials are based on the
simple proposition that the country
as whole can't be prosperous if ag-
riculture is depressed or paralyzed.
The time has come when we must work
to the end of great constructive and
permanent program for the benefit of
the farmers and the agricultural in
dustry on the basis for national well
fare and national prosperity. We rec
ognize agriculture as the basis and
foundation of our whole industrial
and economic structure.
If YOU curtail the buying power of
the farmers, you cripple the whole ma
ton The day of Dives and Lazarous
as applied to the farmers of this
country is about gone by, and agri-
culture is no longer content to take
merely the crumbs that fall from the
table of other industries.
All the farmers are asking is a
square deal and that is all the agrl-
cultural "bloc" is seeking for them.

season.
The ice industry is as important to
| the winter and summer perishable
! fruit industries of the Imperial Val
lev as rain is to the dry farming dis
tricts of California. The assurance of
increased ice facilities, with the prod
uct manufactured in the valley, will,
undoubtedly, stimulate the planting OF
chep refrigeration, ample enough for
the situation with opportunity to grow
as fast as increasing demands will
warrant.
The ice company'S activities are
not confined to the Imperial Valley,
where it has two plants at Brawley,
one at El Centre and another at Ca
lexico. The Riverside county plant is
smaller one, located at Coachella,
for the refrigeration of the Coachella
Valley products.
The Southern Sierras Power CON-
pany office in Riverside has an an
nual payroll in excess of a half mil
lion dollars. With the development
of the S3,0O0,OO0 ice business, there
will be an enlarged development of
the expenditures in the Riverside Of
fices supplmeenting the rapid growth
of the power sales of the general sys-
TEN. This gives Riverside an ideal
sort of industry. There are no smoke
stacks here or undesirable factory
buildings. The juice comes down
through the state from the High
Sierras power stations. The super
intendents, executive heads and Of
flee force live in this community and
have their homes here, because it is a
central point of the system, although
comparatively no business comes to
the company within the city limits OF
Riverside.
