CHANGED THE PLACE

Old customers going into the
Pioneer Grocery store the past week
have had a surprise sprung upon them
by the Proprietor Bruce Corning, who
has so changed the looks of the in
terror of the store that it is not
recognizable. The old counters
over which thousands and thousands
of dollars of provisions have been
sold in the past thirty years, have
been taken out and now a customer
has a clear view of the S heif room
where the goods are stored.
A counter across the rear of the
store is used for wrapping the par
|cels.
The entire interior of the store has
been painted and kalsomined and
presents very fine appearance. Mr..
Corning is sure entitled to credit for
the change.

EVIDENTLY some of the men,

EVIDENTLY some of the mem
bers of the school board and city
council do not like to know the real
condition of the city finances for the
Times has been severely critized for
the information given to our readers
last week. Had this information
been given before the last spring
election we might have been accused
Of publishing these facts for political
reasons, but the council and school
board members have all been elected
for the coming two years and their
job are secure, so the Times played
fair with them by waiting until their
elections were out Of the way.
We believe many of the council
members and members of the school
board do not actually know the fin
ancial condition and this week we
give additional figures. Mind you
these are not the figures gotten out
of ''thin air" but taken from the re-
cords in the Office of the city clerk
and verified by that official as be-
ing correct.
We predict that when a final ac-
counting is made that conditions will
prove to be much worse than they
actually show.

FIND RAIL CHARGES ON
CROPS TOO HIGH

Transportation rates on products
of agriculture, as on many other COM
modities. now ''bear disproportion-
ate relation to the price Of such COM
modities," and should be Immediately
reduced, according to findings of the
joint Congressional Commission OF
agricultural inquiry, announced Con.
gresham Anderson. Not only should
these freight charges come down, the
report declared but in the future
rate-,naking bodies and railroad ira
ffic officers should give greater con-
sideration to the relative value of
commodities in the making of rates, y
and let existing charges on high
priced finished products stand if
necessary to remove cost burdens
from basic materials
Exhaustive review of the trans
portation situation has convinced the
commission, Chairman Anderson said
that "pyramided per cent advances
Of freight rates during war and fol
lowing years" caused dislocation OF
long-standing relationships between
rates on agricultural and Industrial
PRODUCTS, and between competitive
enterprises and competitive territor-
ies," which dislocation should now be
removed. The object of rate making
bodies should be, he said in present
ing the commissions views, ito re-
adjust rates so far as practicable to
the relationship existing prior to
1918"

UPHOLDTNG THE LAW

Judge Bledsoe of the United States district court at

showed how crimes of all kinds had increased the

Both these public officials testified their willingness
and to uphold the law. 1t encouraging to note
that this is the rule among those in authority If
not so the outlook would be dubious indeed
But Judge Bledsoe put his finger the spot
Notwithstanding living under federal prohbitory
law the liquor evil is still of paramount Importance
The Judge deity exposed in its hideous aspect The end
vnced him of the utter hopeessness of every making
thing decent out of the liquor traffic 1t cannot be done by
)orzng with it in any form Booze and business liquor
and law saloons and obrety paradoxca and contra
dictory they cannot by any be made to harmonic
Law enforcement which is respect for law, is a big
question with the people of this county, particularly with
reference to the liquor problem because of proximity
territory where may be Sold AS public sentiment is
the potent factor of all in the enforcement of law
it the utmost Importance to Imperial county that public
sentiment be the side of law enforcement To be so in
the largest degree It is essential that this sentiment be IN
of the law It'll good deal easier for to be in
favor of in which believes than for to favor
enforcement of law because it is law But the moral OBJ
legation rests upon alike in both instances.
1t is we'll to have the testimony of men like Judge
Bedsoe occasionally to remind just how injurious liquor
is It helps to build up public sentiment against unmt
gated evil makes the law touching that evil easier to
sustain The police authorities of Imperial county are
ing comrnendabe effort to compel obedience to the law
the land respecting liquor They need the cooperation
of every aw-abidng ctizen-the force back of them of
that tremendous power public sentiment Their success IN
curbng srespec law everything to the welfare
of community financially and morally There are just
two sides this questionable right side and the wrong
side There is no halfway temporizng, apoogetc side.

Minneapolis Tribune: Iherc has
lust been reached iii Washington an
agreement from the building trades
the strikes that grow out Of jurisdic-
tional disputes between unions. The
building Trades department of the
American Federation of Labor is a
party 20 the agreement, as are the
Associated General Contractors of
America, the American Institute OF
Architects, the Engineering council and
the National Building Trades and Em-
],iovcrs' association. 1t cOntemplates
drastic discipline of unions which do
not abide hv decisions of the national
board making jurisdictional awards.
.Iurisdictional disputes and the strikes
pursuant on them have nnduly delayed
building and enhanced TIE cost thereon,
and have stirred up between unions or
crafts rescntments prcjHdiclal to the
best interests of organized labor. they
have been costly to the men called out
on strike. and they have tended to I'M
dermine the good faith that should
obtain between employers and em-
rloyes. Unnecessary tuildlng costs
have been reflected in unnecessarily
HIGH rentals, which means that the
cost of living has been increased for
those within the ranks of organized
labor as well as for those without its
ranks.
If this agreement is carried out
Faithfully, and if its purposes are well
served, it is reasonable to look Tor
smoother going in the building line and
for steadicr and hence more profltaDle
employment in that branch of activity
The benefit is bound to reach far be-
youd the interests Of this particular
class of employers and employees. There
is presupposed, of course, mutual lair
dealing ng-employers toward employees
and vice versa.
