A NEV ERA JUST AHEAD

There exists in Ell Centro and throughout the entire
Imperial Valley at the time state of consciousness

everyone that things better already that they

bring the Valley the most substantial prosperity that
has ever enjoyed.
While this new faith in the future is an intangible

work which may recognize and the of which

problems are of solution business and

basis one stands forpernanency and settled course

URGES CONSORTlUnI
TO BUILD UP
EUROPE "
United Press Leased Wire

PARIS March 6-Thc success of Il
big international cousortium for the
economic reconstruction of Europe does
not seem at all impossible to Professor
Charles eide, one of the most promin
cnt French economists, who for years
has been teaching political economy at
the College of France.
Such consortium, declared Pro
fcssor Glide, "could do useful work.
Before anything else, it is necessary to
restore Il real state of peace in clear
ing off the atmosphere of suspicion
and hate which weighs upon Europe.
Nothing will do more to this end than
loyal collaboration between the allied
or cX-enemy nations, based on the
solidarity of their interests.
" Especially for France this collabor-
alton is Indispensable. The latest
events have shown the danger of a pol
lev of isolation At Washington. in
the disarmament question: at Cannes,
in the question of the German morator-
ium, France has found herself alone as
regards other nations. If she let her
self 90 on this perilous way, she will
soon have lost the benefit of a policy
which before and during the war won
her unique position. The advantages
which she obtained from the peace
will also be endangered, since it is
foolish to believe that France S mill
tary supremacy and her alliance with
small nations like Belgium and Poland
could be Of any use against the grow
mg hostility of the other powers.
Relations should have been resumed
with Russia u long time ago. The
RuSsian cooperative socicits having
been able to regain their autonomy, and
the freedom of exchanges within the
country having been restored, they
have taken a prcronderant place. The
French cooperative groups attach
much importance to the resumption of
relations with the Russian cooperative
societies, and it is quite desirable that

POLITICIANS WATCH
HOME STATE OF
NEWBERRY
Tnited Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Mar. 6.-The home
state of Truman 1T. Newberry will be
watched intently this year by politi-
clans and plain people alike, for they
want to see what Michigan will do
about Senator Townsend, one of New
berry's staunchest defenders.
Townsend is q candidate for renomi-
nation and reelection. AS a Newberry
champion, he faces the hostility of
those forces within the. state which
opposed Newberry and brought about
the attempt to prevent him being
seated in the Senate.
Newberry was seated by the Senate,
and that is something in Townsend IS
favor. The Republican national or
ganization has promised him all the
help he needs. lie will need some help,
it is admitted.
For not only will he have opposition
from within his own party for the
nomination, but if he is nominated he
will, indications are, be confronted by
strong Democratic candidate, who
will keep the Newberry scandal to the
fore all through the campaign.
Townsend had no part in the New
berry campaign management. No taint
of corruption or of unlawful or exces-
sive expenditure of money clings to
him. But he defended Newberry. He
defied Newberry's Opponents to pre-
vent his reelection if they could. He
accepted the gage of battle and the
issue which Ncwberry's foes made.
John Emery, who for time was ma
tional commander of the American Le-
gion, has already entered the contest
against Townsend for the Republican
nomination. Emery's appeal is to the
Legion and thence he will draw his
strength. Whitney Watkins, progress
sive candidate for governor in 1912
and a former state senator, is also
being doomed to tilt with Townsend
in the primaries. The Newberry issue
is made to order for q man like Wat
kius, whose political creed nay be sum.

AusTR1A's sHRINEs LOOTED.

Vienna, Dec. 27.-A series Of rob-
berries of wayside shrines, private
chapels, cross road monuments, and
other medieval statuary, is occurring
all over Austria. The thefts are so
skillfully planned that only carvings
and statues of high artistic or his

police to believe that they are di-

( Austria is rich in these relics. In
remote and lonely places all over
the country are rare and wonderful

Middle Ages, and some even said to
be Of Roman origin. In the Tyrol

Reasonable Taxation and Rents
The tax rate in Bismarck in

special improvements fron1
average to high depending upon the
extent to which paving, sewer, curb

tion have been installed and for the
cost of which the adjoining property
is assessed. There is much need
here for more equitable system of
assessing these special burdens, es-
pecially paving which under the pres
ent method is. almost confiscatory
on certain classes Of real estate.
Rents in Bismarck are low or high

newly organized association of Conl.

tion to the city government.
Public Utilities

Of electric light, heat, water, tele-
