suits based upon this legislative act to
restore records and determine titles.
These suits are not all determined yet

Ninth: The court room of depart

the noise of passing cars, often makes
it necessary to temporarily suspend
business; department one is little better
and the county law library is simply
a place to ruin the valuable books, al
ready housed there and without pro

it has been the policy of the library
board to buy only such books as, were
absolutely necessary until more suitable
quarters could be, had.

court property and condition.in which it

enough, the grand jury would have
said it in still more forcefull terms. The
resolution follows:
The resolutions are as follows:

Whereas: the county of Imperial, in
Imperial Valley press., 1922-05-20

stored, would amount to conservatweiy
more than the price of a new fire proof
and abundantly adequate court house.
The cost to individual tax payers, in
the event of such loss, would be even
more than that of the county, because
it would require litigation, almost with-
out end.
1t would seem that good business
Judgment would dictate, that some
measures be taken at once to provide
more adequate housing facilities for tho
county records and Officers. And in
addition, civic pride and selfrespeet

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. - Senator
Pepper. Of Pennsylvania, in an inter
view here to-day, said he favored the
proposed change IN The Consultation
whereby the President would be in
Rugursted and thu newly elected Con
gress would begin service In January
instead Of March.
This change is proposed both In the
Norris and Ashurst resolutions. II has
the backing Of the progressive bloc
Senator Pepper is one Of the regulars
or the Republican side, but neverthe-
less Is strongly committed 70 the
change.
Il believe Il would operate 10 greatly

1T is sometimes argued In defense Of
the present system that there Is now a
eooling-oH period between the excite
msnt Of a campaign and election and
the actual beginning Of session or in
Augur1tion Of q President.
ITO my mind such an argument is
without force. II would be as Logical
70 propose that a jury should be given
a eooling-of period after hearing the
evidence before being called on 10 rem

Senator Pepper pointed out the pro-
posei change would cause two long ses-
sions OF Congress and do away with
the short winter session nov neces-
sary, thus operating for more effective
work by Congress.
