No Medals For
 Local Life Savers

The commissioners of the Park De- partment are somewhat disappointed at the reply to their request for Car negie medals for three Bridgeport men, H. R. Sargent, D. C. Carson and James O'Mara. who saved the lives of Henry Davis of 53 sWilliston street, and his two children, from drowning at Seaside Park, July 19, 1921.
 The following letter was addressed to B. F. Cooney, secretary of the board:
 Your letter giving information of the cases of H. R. argent, D. c. Car son and James O'Mara, was duly re- ceived.
 '"The Carnegie Hero Fund applies to acts in which conclusive evidence may be obtained showing the person performing the act voluntarily risked his own life in saving. or attempting to save, the life of a reIIow being.
 While the acts performed by the men are commendable from the facts at hand. it does not appear that they were attended by any extraor- dinary risk to their own lives; and for tis reason their cases, I regret to say. do not come within the scope of the Fund"
 The letter is signed by F. NJ. Will mot, manager.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM TRADE

The democratic state platform with its bitter denunciation of everything that has occurred in the state and nation since that party went out of power, may please few rock-ribbed, unrea- soning democrats and those who would profit by the success of the party, but 1t does not appeal to the general public as sincere document up- on which there could be placed any degree of confidence The party in power expects crit icism, constructive, detailed criticism in facts and figures, but wholesale condemnation ot the opposition in the btterest terms that could be found for expression is not very convincing nowadays. The people, whose business affairs the politician would look after, are more con- cerned in actual results. Thinking people take into consideration the feelings of the man who is fired for incompetency and listen to his rawlings with many mental reservations. The same with political parties The people, generally speaking, not the active partiSans believe that actual ser vice is worth a great deal more to them than the hollow name of party. A political party may have members who dominate temporarily, but the people have struck happy idea of elim- mating them at the polls regardless of the rag ing of party managers.
 The greatest trouble in this rapid day and age of the world, is in getting actual facts before the voters. The thinking element of the people to- day control and the only difficulty is in placing the facts before them in a way to convince them of the truth or statements made "Camouflag- ing and smoke screens thrown about political facts are the greatest menace to public welfare today.

TUCSON CONVENTION DISGRACE TO
 DEMOCRACY

The Tucson Corporation Convention was a dis grace to the Arizona democracy, and no democrat is in any manner bound by it's acts. While it is true it nominated good, clean man for gov ernor, it's action as whole were despicable and indefensbe. The nomination of Amos Betts for corporation commissioner was disgraceful, and no honest, right-minded democrat can afford to vote for him. but the primaries are open for all good democrats for all state offices. Yuma coun- ty, little corporation burg, was given two state offices, given two men who are unknown to the public and whose only endorsement was by the corporation, hide-bound delegation from that county. We suggest that democrats consider these things and prepare to put primary ticket in the field against several of those corporation gOats-Dunbar's Weekly.
 The above coming from an official Hnt-Dem- ocratic source, is evidence that all the palavar democratic papers can make as to harmony" in the different wings of the democratic party, does not make for votes this fall.

BRAINS, COSTS AND RESULTS

The flood waters of the Colorado have again started on their rampage down into the Blythe Imperial country and there is great anxiety as to what the toll in lives and property will be this coming month. Local, selfish interests and Mexican interests still hold back the develop ment and the protection needed. Tanning the flood waters of river of the size of the Colorado never was accomplished by working from the bottom up.
 It may be that some believe that damming up river at the lowest point will make the backed up flood waters easier to handle all the miles back up the swiftly flowing stream, but there are some few sane people who still have re- gard for the laws of nature, regardless of spec ial interests and are big enough to play the game for Arizona at large and the whole southwest.
 It is to be hoped that sufficient fair-minded brains may be developed by the government and in the southwest to visualize the welfare of all concerned, rather than attempting to pull every thing up stream at the greatest cost and least beneficial results

The people are for good ornament roads which will return a fair value for the cost of construction. The cost of roads in the United States today is $10 per capita. What the people want to know is whether they are getting $10 per capita benefit from the money spent. We need roads and education. Neither can be over valued when proper results are obtained, but propaganda does not make roads or educate. There is where public opinion sticks. Are we getting anything near what we are paying for? The people are more and more every day de- manding proof-not propaganda.

The average democratic editor is having a hard time making his democratic hopes on the editorial page jibe with the prosperous facts on his news pages.
 Editor Bill Stuart of the Prescott Courier is now owner, publisher and editor of the Courier, having purchased the interests of Howard Cor nick, A. H. Favour, Arthur c. Baker, A. B. Peach and Dan Seaman, the original owners. Editor Bill says there will be no change in the policy of the paper as the policy in the past has been his without interference from the owners. Aside from his ubiquitous political ideas, Bill ranks high with the best newspapeImen in the southwest with pep and ability sufficient for a much larger field. It is hardly necessary to wish him success, for he had attained that, but we can wish him prosperity in spite of his bad political morals. In the revised language of Col. Rogers, 'he is a good man, but a democrat"

Now again is heard in the land the old fa- miliar democratic cry that republicans are put ting tariff on everything from the cradle to the grave.' The old war cry used to have it's effect, but it is not needed so much since the democratic party reversed the order and taxed everything from the grave to the next four gen. erations for the benefit of war profiteers.

The High School Magazine section of the Chandler Arizonian was very nifty educational piece of work, both mechanically and intellectual ly.

A GOOD TAX SHOWING

Taxes and death are the two things that can not be
averted We do everything within power to postpone
the and to lessen the other the while realizing chat
both unavoidable They bear certain relation, for
is essential to temporary life while the other is
preliminary to life eternal.
If Imperial Valley the best showing of vital
stcs of section of California may have should
certainly boast of it. That is if the death rate here
were the lowest of part of the state would be an
asset would not be slow to claim
By that token it is natural that should set
forth advantage that according official figures the
tax rate of Imperial county places the fourth lowest
in the entire state This is the declaration Of State Control
Ter Ray L. Riley and the Press wishes to repeat it.
In these days when public expenses are an enormous
burden upon the people result for the most part of the
great is worth while to ecitae ourselves the
important announcement this public official has made
California has it's tax roll mount by ltaps and
bounds rapid increase has been unavoidable because OF
the unprecedented rise in prices of thing the state has
had buy Labor and materials have gone skyward and
the had proportion No doubt much of
the paid by the people for state has
been unwisey and unproftaby expended 1t is so in all
kinds of private business and is too much to expect men
in office drive better bargains than they do in private
life The fact is quite careful in the eXpend
ture OF other peoples money as ne is OF ms own But
communities within it they have not sat down and waited
they have kept going regardless Of the cost Indeed Cali
has the best record of achievement and advancement
during the distressing period of readusment through
which have been passing Now that the whole country
is on the forward march California has sustained
momentum that will keep it in the van.
1t is worth while to dwell little upon the compara-
lively low tax of Imperial county 1t be acclaim
ed a for investments here among many others
of perhaps still greater weight.
We hope, however to always remain at the foot
of the column the matter of tax paying for expect to
make public improvements in this valley and they Will
call for But always devote ourselves to the
task of getting nearly possible, full value for what
expend Meantime values certain to increase
rapidly this secton that full of natural resources,
that the tax percentage will probably show little increase
the present rate.
Let it be remembered that Imperial county has the
fourth lowest capita tax rate of all the counties of
California.

QUALITY NOT QUANTITY
3 g s s 8, 9, 8 g g g g 6 {

Saturday Evening Post: More than
one immigration reformer has had the
wisdom to lay rs much stress upon the
quality of incoming aliens rs upon
their numbers. No law that is quanti-
tative rather than qualitative can be
regarded as basieally scientific. In of
ficial power to exercise the selective
function will lie one of the most i'm
portant factors that is to govern our
future immigration. Such selection
may be occupational, hygienic, social
in the broader sense, or economic. Hand
in hand with this idea goes the useful
distribution of the newcomers, the
right to send them where their services
are needed and where they can serve
their adopted country to advantage
while advancing their own personal
interests. These plans have not yet
been fully worked out and clarified,
but their soandness in principle is so
obvious that they deserve more study
than they have yet received.
