HARDING FOR BOULDER DAM PROJECT 7
Delegation From
California Gets
Assurance 70da)

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Immediate necessity of de-
velopment of the Colorado river power irrigation and
flood control project at Boulder for the benefit OF
Imperial valley California and surrounding regions was
urged upon President Harding today by
of various city organizations of California.
The president expressed himself in favor of the
departments superpower project which already has had
the consideration of Secretary of Commerce Hoover and
the cabinet
The delegation which appeared before the president
today stressed the impending danger from flood which the
proposed development would prevent in addition to great
ly increasing irrigation acreage
Federal control is the only method of developing this
project including ALLEGATION of power in the states OF Cali
forna Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico they told the
president.
Development of the project provided in bill intro
duced in the house by Representative Swing, Republican,
California is designed for the three fold purpose of rr
cation, power and flood control.
The delegation was headed by Representatives
SWING Osborne and Lndeberger California and included
E. F. ScattergOOd chief engineer of Los Angeles, Ralph
Criswe president of the city council of Los Angeles and
John L. Bacon, mayor of San Diego.

COUNTY DADS CAN
BIG NEW YORK BANK

While changing the county's fiscal
agent may mean nothing to the lay
man, this action of the supervisors yes
terday will prove welcome news to
several officials at the courthouse who
are getting gray-haired, cranky and
goofv in an effort to do business with
the National City bank of New York,
acting as fiscal agents for payment of
coupons of the $1,5O0,O0O highway
bonds, voted in 1920. The big leaguers
in New York could not see why a bush
league outfit on some California desert
should have any rules or regulations of
their own, nor why the bushers should
have the colossal nerve to suggest that
big leaguers conform to them. Letters
of explanation had absolutely no effect
on them and they seemed to take fiend-
ish delight in Sending flocks of weird
forms, vouchers, and other goat-gettlng
documents to the county auditor and
treasurer, both of whom have been
slowly going mad from the effects of
" frenzied finance as conducted by
the National City bank. Therefore, and
to retain the services for the county
officers, the supervisors decided yes
terday to tie can to the National City
bank, but not wishing to make New
York feel too bad, gave them one
more chance and appointed the Sea-
board National bank fiscal agent. This
bank has sort of a nautical sound and
may be able to conduct business i'll
ship shape fashion. AS long as they
do, they can be Imperial county's fiscal
agent aud crow to the world about
the honor, but if they start picking on
local officials, the county dads will
sack them muy pronto and turn the
job over to an outfit in some regular
town, for q progressive county like this
can't afford to fool around too long
with those hicks in New York.

ing and retiring the proposed bond
issue.
We would be quick to grasp any such
proposition from an insurance company
seeking to protect us from loss of pri-
vate property. Insurance that would
cost US nothing, or practically nothing,
would be taken by every one at once
and without bubble.
Aside from the argument based on
safety of public records and property,
let us not overlook the point of civic
pride. Imperial county is entitled to
and can afford as good and artistic Il
government building as nine out of 10
of all the counties in the United States.
Shall we continue to make such q
spectacle of ourselves to the thousands
of visitors that come to Imperial county
every year-visitors who come here and
are disappointed with the state of all
public improvements?
Is it wise economy for us to do SO
much in the way of improving our
private property and so little in the
way of public improvements? How will
the stranger be impressed?
Nearly every person who visits I'M
perial Valley comes from an older and
more highly improved country. They
are used to viewing with pride their
public buildings.
Shall we let them go away from I'M
perial county with the impression that
nothing here is permanent; that all
our people are living for is to sell their
property and 60 somewhere elsea
/ believe it would be far more to our
interests, even if we do desire to sell
our property and leave the county, to
present a better front to the stranger
and possible investor among us. Let us
endeavor to keep the visitor and pros
pective investor here.
So let us all get together now and
lock the door while the horse is still be.

FAIR ASSOCIATION
ISSUES WAR CRY

The Imperial county fair association
issues "call to arms'' statement to-
day. The statement reads:
Monday, June ~, has been desig-
mated by the county supervisors as the
official day when county fair bond
election is to be held for the purpose of
determining if the people of Imperial
county are willing to vote $4,000 for
permanent buildings and ground i'm
provements. June 10 is only five days
away. In this short period of time
every person in the county must strenu-
ously work in support of the issue. The
time is short, but most ppportune. A
better county fair cannot be had unless
the voters are willing to spend $4,000
for suitable buildings that will exempli-
fly the prosperity of this wonderful
county.
Money must be obtained by either a
bond or private subscription. The form
er is recommended by the association
because of the fair and just methods in
which the money will be derived. Priv
ate subscription touches the same peO-
pie living in the valley who continuously
are Galley ON to support every PROPOSE
tion that arises. This means 60 per cent
of the property owners living outside
the county are not affected by private
subscription.
''Do you know that if the $4,000 is
voted next Monday the owner will not
be heavily burdened by taxation? Here
is startling fact and one that comes
as a direct surprise to the average land
proprietor. One acre will be assessed
only / per cent for 20 years, Including
interest. Every owner can well afford
to spend this small amount towards a
greater Imperial county fair and ulti'
mately greater Imperial county.
"We, as members of the fair associa-
tion urgently ask every voter to seri-
ously consider the proposition and then
vote for the $4,000 bonds June II.

CALIFORNIA LEASES
SENT TO SENATE

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Secretary
of Interior Falls report on leasing valu,
able government oil lands in Wyoming
and California to private interests was
presented to President Harding today.
1t will go to the senate later this
afternoon in response to the LaFollete
resolution asking for complete report
on leases.
Fall is understood to assert the leases
are necessary to prevent oil from seep.
ing into private wells, and that the
contracts are great bargains for the
government.

EXPECT GRAND JURY
TO INDICT KLAN

LOS ANGELES, June Word that
the county grand jury was atually vot-
ing on indictments in it's investigation
of the Ku KluX Klan spread this after
noon at the hall of records, where the
jury was in session behind closed doors.
It was believed that the indictments
would be announced late today at the
close of the session.
The general opinion about the hall of
records was that several khan officials
and all the 81 individual members who
took part in the Inglewood raid would
be indicted.
The indictments have been asked on
two counts, first assault with intent to
commit murder and secondly, false i'm
prisonment, which it is said was the
aim Of the raiders who sought to in
carcerate the family Of Fidel Elduayen,
whose home they invaded.

UNION PACIFIC ACTIVE
Alton and 'Katy" Systems
Plan Drive Against S. F.
in Southwest

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June Pow
erful rail groups were mobilizing forces
today to war for transportation control
of the west.
Merger of the Chicago and Alton and
"Katy" systems and purchase of the
Central Pacific by the Union Pacific,
reliably reported in Kansas City, st.
Louis and Chicago railroad circles, are
declared to be the first moves in an
alignment of millions Of railroad cap
ital.
Each of the mergers, if completed,
would form separate efforts to gain
the control of the future industrial en-
pires now only partially developed, it
was believed.
The Alton and "Katy' combination
would give the Santa Fe group system
the greatest competition for the trans
portation of the southwest.
The Union Pacific in participation
would lock horns with the powerful
western roads.
Plans for the purchase of the Central
Pacific by the Union Pacific are being
drawn in the latter's legal office in
Omaha.
Divorcing the Central Union from
the Southern Pacific by the U. s. su-
preme court is declared responsible for
opening negotiations by the Union Pa
cific and the present investigation of
legalities involved in contemplation of
the proposed merger purchase.
Suggested by s. G. G.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June T.
Mergers of the Alton and Katy" rail-
roads, and the Union Pacific and Cen
trail Pacific were regarded in railroad
circles as practical certainties, promin-
ent railroad officials here today said.
An official declared it was under

commerce commission had suggested
such mergers as economic measures. -

LEADERS EXPECT
VOTE TO STRIKE

CINCINNATI, o., June THE strike
vote ordered by executives of IL rail
road unions affected by the $l09, 9,000, 900
wage cut total will be overwhelmingly
in favor of strike in the opinion OF
labor leaders assembled here.
Though they declined to make any
public forecast of the autcome of the
strike poll, privately they forecast the
reflection of tremendous comment
against the wage slashes ordered by the
United States railroad labor board in a
strong demand for a strike.
Samuel Gompers will be in absolute
control of the American Federation OF
Labor which meets here Monday. Thus
far no one has appeared an opposing
candidate when the veteran leader
comes up again for reelection as presi-
dent of the federation.
Friends of John l.. Lewis, head of
the United Mine Workers, who opposed
Gompers unsuccessfully last year, are
urging him to run again, but his boom
is not considered seriously.

Imperial Valley press., 1922-06-07

Interest OIL 100000 bonds at per
cent would amount to $4,000, leaving
a deficit of only $4,000 a year. AS it
is considered almost certain the above
saving can be increased, and that the
bonds will carry lower interest rate,
and it is reasonable to assume that the
county will save enough each year to
cover the interest.
Based on the valuation of 192l-22,
the interest on 100000 at per- cent
will cost the taxpayer at the rate of .045
cents per 800 valuation, or 40 cents on
each $1,000. Placing these figures on a
land valuation basis, the cost per acre
amounts to just two and seventeenth
cents.
A man owning ranch of l60 acres,
with valuation of $50 per acre, will
pay the small sum of $4.32 per year on
the bonds.
"From a financial standpoint said
Mr.. Gary, there can be no reasonable
argument advanced against the court
house bonds. When it is considered the
additional protection the public records
will be given, the added prestige which
the county will derive from having a
modern building to house It's govern
ment and reduced operating cost through
having adequate quarters for it S varl-
Gus departments, it is hard to believe
anyone will object to the bond issue on
grounds that it is unnecessary or that IT
is more than taxpayers can afford.

closely guarded and strong patrols are
constantly passing through the streets
enroute to better their way into some
rendezvous of assassinators.
The schedule of the movements of

with rifles and revolvers and will be
under instructions to shoot at the
slightest surprise movement.

sons in windows and on balconies must
not sit shoulder to shoulder.
No persons will be permitted to view
the parade from a window, balcony or
