EXPENSE
Organization to Battle for
Economical Administration
Municipal Affairs Formed
at Meeting Last Night.

Three score and ten of citizens of
FL Centre gathered last night to
perfect the organization of the city
auxiliary of the Taxpayers League of
the Imperial Valley.
The organization is to be known as
the "El Centre City Taxpayers asso-
citation and the meeting adopted bill
of rights or articles of organization
by which the body is to be guided.
The organization was brought about
by the success of the County Taxpay-
ers' association in securing results in
the reduction of taxes and valuations
as fixed by the county board of equal
ization more than a year ago, and
while it will coordinate and work in
harmony with the county organization
it is to be an entirely independent
body.
Twenty-four taxpayers of the city
We're nominated to act as an executive
committee which shall be the govern
ing board Of the organization. Off
GERS will be elected by the executive
committee. A proviso of the articles
is to the effect that "if any member
Of the governing body shall absent
himself from three successive meet
ings without satisfactory excuse, his
office will be declared vacant and his
place shall be elected by the board.
Objects of Organization
Stated briefly, the objects of the
organization are: "The reduction of
taxes of the city to a minimum, to

FORECAST Of
BUS NESS
FOR YEAR
IS MADE
Safe and Sane Improvement in
Economic Conditions, 1922,
is Looked for by John
Moody in Annual Review.

In his annual review and forecast,
John Moody of Moody's Investors
Service, expresses the belief that
while no boom is in sight this year.
safe and sane improvement can be ex-
pected.
1--WE have been laying a new found
alton for American prosperity during
the past year by liquidating our
debts, charging off losses and putting
our houses in order for a new and
more healthful era," Mr.. Moody
states. In view of the remarkable ac-
curacy of Mr.. Moody's forecast for
1921, his views and predictions fcY
this year are entitled to careful con-
Sideration.
Mr.. Moody expects to see the re-
covery in bond prices continue during
1922 and feels that fundamental point
to further ease in the world money
markets during 1922.
1921 Constructive
"Touching upon commodity prices
and labor costs, the view is ex-
pressed that the downward trend
will undoubtedly continue during
this year but that there should
be greater equalization in costs of
commodities.
"The past year has been distinctly
constructive in most of Europe" Mr..
Moody says, "despite international

Big Entertainment Next Tuesday
Night for Members

| The above referred to gentleman is
Madison Prince, recently from London
where he played and sang in some of
the best music halls. Years ago he
played in the London Music Hall''
with Charlie Chaplin. Mr. Prince will
favor the Knights of Pythias lodge
next Tuesday night, at their public
installation ceremonies with some of
his best numbers. There is no question
about his ability as a comedian and
singer, as he just recently left the
Late Fred Karnes' Company" which
IS one of the best known in London,
and England too, for that matter.
There will also be other notables
present that night, who will put some
thing on in their. particular lines. For
instance: Perry Rogers will dis
,inguish between a phoneygraph and
3honograph; f. 3. Fuller, Chief Cum
Minis, T. G. Weir and Elmer Leonard
will entertain the guests with a few
popular songs: BIZ King will tell
some Peter Rabbit stories for the
kiddies, and so on.
The entertainment will go down in
lodge history as one OF the greatest
ever enjoyed by the people of Ell
Centre and vicinity.
A telegram just received from Past
Supreme Chancellor Davis of Denver
contains the information that Past
Chancellor Fred G.. Bohm will arrive
IN Ell Centre next Sunday morning.
Mr., Bohm is known personally by sew
eral members of the lodge. His abil-
ity as an installing officer is unsur-
passed. Every Knight of Pythias
knows him by reputation and will be
glad to make his acquaintance or
renew it, as the case may be.
Frank Moore will read a paper some
time during the night. He pulled the
same stunt during the installation
cerembnies of the Pythian Sisters.
The Pythian Sisters are the females
of species Knights of Pythias, and
that's where Frank shines like har-
vest moon. He used to like ducks,
but now he likes chickens best.
After the entertainment by the
Britisher and others, refreshments
will be served, and then comes the
dancing. And by the way there will
be some Spanish dancing in costume
by a well known artist.
Those who miss this will miss the
best thing of the year. So come and
bring your girl, or some one ese's,
but come. Next Tuesday night.

'Henry M. Leland is one Of the

Ford said. "If he secures the plant

Henry M. Leland as president and
Wilfred Leland as vice president.
Ford Persuaded
The keen interest of Edsel Ford,
president of the Ford Motor Co., to
add the Lincoln car to the Ford pro-
ducts helped persuade Henry Ford to
take over the Lincoln plant.
Ford recently has expressed the be-
lief that the high class car could be
turned out in large quantity produc-
tion as easily as the present Ford
type car and at a very marked re-
duction in price. In taking over the
Lincoln Motor Car Co., Ford contem-

chasers of Lincoln common ga" stock
which originally sold at $50 a share.
