Consolidation of city, county ant
irrigation district offices into uni
fled body, as nearly as practicable, tc
be housed in proposed splendid new
county building, joint courthouse
and city hail, is the plan advanced to-
day by the Ell Centro Realty Board for
the consideration of the Imperial Val
ley.
Such was the chief result of an en-
thusiastic meeting last night of the
board at the Chamber of Commerce
offices.
=, The board, ambitious as body for
both civic and county progress and
| improvement, took up the matter of
the proposed consolidation and, con-
vinced of its merits from the stand
point of economy as we'll as other ad-
lvantages decided unanimously to ap-
point committee to inaugurate a
campaign for ultimate realization of
the program.
II. w. Brewer and J. F. Cameron,
members OF, the board, were named as
the committee to advance the idea.
1t was the concensus of the board
that the present county building "is a
disgrace and a damaging reflection
on Imperial county and the communi-
ty."
"a district that turns over a S62,-
100000 agricultural crop annually
should be ashamed to tolerate the
lack of proper county building" one
member of the board declared in urg-
ing the plan.
While it was the opinion of the
board that perhaps the immediate
present was not entirely propitious to
such an ambitious program, it was
considered proper at this time to in
augurate a campaign looking to ulti-
mate achievement in the near future.
Another suggestion, purely local in
scope but termed of vital Importance,
was made that an automobile parking
ground be provided by the city for mo-
tor tourists.
1t was pointed out that with the
completion of the paved highway be-
tween Ell Centro and Yuma, AriZ.,
thousands of automobilists would pass
through Ell Centro over the southern
route east and west.
The feasibility of making the park
ing ground self-supporting was urged
through a plan of making a nominal
charge for use of the ground and the
camping facilities proposed to be pro-

FIRST ON THE CALENDAR.

The foreign debt refunding bill
will be the first important piece of
legislation to command the attention
of the senate. 1t has already passed
the house, and as soon as it is en-
acted by the other body will receive
the signature of the president and be-
come law. 1t is not expected that it
will be changed materially from the
form in which it was recommended
by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon.
Democratic opposition will seek to re-
strict the discretion sought to be
placed in the hands of Secretary Mel
Ion, brt ~~e~wel,cans are convinced
that exgoaitio~s .esdling of the debt
problem can be done only by an
agency clothed with large powers.
Both President Harding and Mr.. Mel
lon have declared their determine
ton to get the most favorable terms
from the foreign debtors, and there
is no doubt that the payments forth
coming under the arrangements they
viii make will be as large and as regu-
lar as conditions will permit

TUBES BACK.

Pneumatic mail tube service in New
York City is about to be resumed af-
ter an interruption of several years.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Bur-
Lesson took the remarkable view that it
was cheaper and more efficient to
transport first class mail in New
York's crowded streets by truck than
it was to shoot it through mail tubes
beneath the surface. He even went
so far in his campaign against the
tubes as TO prevail upon Former Pres
ident Wilson to veto a postoffice ap-
preparation bill because it contained
an item for their operation. The joint
postoffice committee of the senate and
house has made a thorough investiga-
ton of the situation in New York and
has authorized Postmaster General
Hays to enter into a ten-year contract
for the operation of the tubes. 1t is
thought similar action will be taken
in the near future with regard to the
tubes in Boston, Chicago, and st.
Louis.

EVIL DONE THAI GOOD
MAY COME, ILLOGICAL

Whether it be right to do evil that
good may come hr~ Aeon a point
much in dispute sh first man
said, Lets argue a sag something"
That evil may result lsoll doing good
is not so well understood. but it
sometimes happens. Admitting, for
the sake of ar Ulnent, that all gam
bling is an evil, and that betting.
whether upon a card game, horse
race, baseball contest, or the weather,
is gambling, it emphatically does not
follow that any means for preventing
gambling is necessarily a good means.
A fly is a pest. It can be killed
with a blow of a hatchet. If a fly is
on mans head and Ratchet brushes fly
and incidentally destroys man, act of
destruction is hardly to be commend
ed as good because fly is extermin-
atedI
To prevent gambling by suppress
ing all news of gambling, or contests
upon which wagers could be made,
may or may not accomplish the re-
suit expected by the trainers of the
Sterling bill, now before Congress.
But it is certain that the bill, should
It pass, would seriously interfere
with the liberty of the press, guaran-
teed by the Constitution, and the main
bulwark free America has against
oppression and autocracy.

TAX-EXEMPTTON LOOP-HOLE.

AS it becomes increasingly diff
cult for private industry to finance
itself, due TO the vast amounts of
money that are being absorbed by
tax-exempt bonds of the government.
states, counties and cities, public de-
mand is more insistent that the tax
exemption privilege be repealed.
Not only does industry suffer, but
the government is losing millions in
taxes which should be paid on in
come derived from such bonds.
What justice is there in a wealthy
man buying 100000 worth of tax
exempt bonds and thus escape al
taxes from the income he receives
when the man who puts 100000 into
an industry which employs many PEG
pie and involves large risks must pay
every known form of taxation thai
can be invented.
Government securities are the sar
est in the world and this fact alone
is sufficient inducement for capita
to invest, without removing all tai
features to the great detriment O.

competition which England endured in
the course of the three months above
mentioned came about despite the fact
that under the provisions of the Yer
saiIles treaty German exporters had
to pay rs per cent export duty ON
goods leaving Germany, the proceeds
being applied to Preparations.
Just what the result has been since
the safeguarding of industries" act
became effective in Great Britain, no
figures have yet been received to in
dicate. But if that act has cut down
the British market for German goods,
the effect must be to defect them to
this country in increasing volume,
and only adequate protection of the
American market viii prevent us from
experiencing German competition as
great, if not greater than that which
England has experienced.

CAR PURCHASES.

purchase of 500 stock cars, 1900 re-
frigerator cars, $500 box cars and
5000 coal cars; the Illinois Central
has purchased 1000 new refrigerator
cars, and the C. M. & St. p. has an
order entered for 600 coal cars. This
is not such a bad report coming thru
columns that used Co convey the idea
that the railroads would be ruined
if not kept under government opera
ton.

GERMANS INVASION
On english TRADE

Great Britain was one of those to
bear the brunt of the battle in the
World War, and she now appears to
be bearing the brunt of competition
with her erstwhile enemy, Germany.
The London Times recently published
some statistics Indicative of the ire
mendous growth of competition in the
domestic market of German goods,
the figures covering the three months
July, August and September. These
figures will explain why England
hustled through the so-called "safe-
guarding of industries" act, which be-
came effective October first, and
marked her return to the protective
policy after three-quarters of a cen
fury of free trade. That act carries
a general rate of SO 1-3 per cent on
imports. The Times figures will also
be interesting to American producers
as indicating a few of the lines in
which German competition may be
looked for-tempered by protection,
vicious without it.
Germany exported to the United
Kingdom in July 438 900 gas mantles,
and in September 70,243, 900; silk
manufactures, ITO and 1858 hundred
weight for the two months respec-
lively; wooden manufactures, 100 and
246 cwt.; cotton manufactures, TIC
and 1884 cwt.; jute fabrics, 1882 and
4,126 cwt.; rubber shoes, ITO and 1885
cwt.; wooden window frames, 794
and 2,010 swts; paper and manufac-
lures of, 1912 and 48,91S cwt.; cleo
trio insulators, 2,842 and 1852 cwt.;
aluminium manufactures, 500 and
1924 cwt.; printing machinery, 1872
and 1904 cwt. Large increases were
also in recorded in lead, zinc, tin, cop
per and brass manufacturers and
many other commodities.
ct is not merely the loss of the
German market that is depressing
trade and causing unemployment
here" says the Times, but "a great
part Of the stagnation is due to the
food OF German goods sold here and
in other markets abroad at prices with
which competition is impossible"
Great Britain. beguiled by Cob
denis propaganda, adopted a free
trade policy in 1886 with a view to en-
couraging other manufacturing ma
tions to do likewise. Improved ma
chinery and low production costs had
placed her in a position to compete
successfully with any country in the
world, she thought, and it was to hel
interest to open foreign markets. Cob
denism for a time succeeded in Ger
many, but in 1879 Bismarck effected
the restoration of the protective pol.
icy in Germany, and from that time
until the outbreak of the World War
the Germans became the bitterest anC
most successful competitors of the
British, not only throughout the world
but in England's home territory. This
