BRIGHT OUTLOOK in VALLEY SAYS
BANKERS BUSINESS RESUME

Optimism is the keynote sound. q,
ed in the December summary of
conditions in the Pacific c-Southwest
compiled by the research depart
ment of the Pacific Southwest
Trust and Savings Bank, this be-
ing especially true of conditions in
/ Imperial Valley.
Construction activities in the val
ley are reported increasing, and the
increase in the price for Imperial
Valley cotton is considered one of
the outstanding developments of
the territory covered by the research
department.
Concerning the valleys cotton
crop, the following statement is
made:
"Picking and ginning of the cot
ton crop of the Pacific c-Southwest
has progressed rapidly during the
month. Damage to the. Imperial
Valley crops by showers was slight
as the sunshine and cool weather
which followed prevented other
than a slight decrease in quality.
Rains in Arizona have done vcry
little damage, there having been no
heavy rain or wind.
"The California crop is probably
GO per cent harvested ana 50 per
cent ginned and the Arizona har-
vest is at least three-quarters com
pleted. The quality has shown the
slight decline usually noted as the
harvest proceeds and now averages
from strict low to middlngs. Crop
estimates of last month have not
teen altered by picking to date and
remain at 100000 to 100000 bales
for the entire territory.
Getting 36 Cents for Cotton
"Prices are at the highest level
since 1920 and are netting the grow
ers from "a to SO cents per pound.
At this level the growers are sell
ing either in the seed or shortly
after ginning, and there is little
effort to hold for future specula-
rive prices.
'The Mexican Government has
recently passed an export tax bill
on all Mexican grown cotton ship
ped from this country, unless under
re-importation agreement, of four
cents per pound. AS it is estimated
that the Mexican mills will take
only about one-half of the cotton
grown in the Imperial Valley be-
low the line, this export tax will
affect prices on the remaining
10000 to $4,000 bales.''
Regarding general conditions in
Imperial Valley the summary says:

WASHINGTON, Dee. 19.-That
congress "should hesitate to adopt
the Mellon tax reduction plan as a
whole seems incredible,' to Repre-
sentative Ogden L. Mills, New York,
member of the ways and means
cimmittee.
Mills is perhaps the staunchcst
supporter in the house of the Mel
lon plan. He believes it is the
soundest policy for lifting the heavy
tax burden and putting the country
on sounder economic basis that
could be adopted at this time.
Although an ex-service man, Mills
has been against the bonus from the
outset.
Mills believes the reduction of
surtax rates is the item in the Mel
lon plan which will be the princi-
pal subject of controversy.
off congress refuses to make the
reductions on lower incomes, the
man with an income Of $4,000 will
continue to pay $l2.75 annually and

projects may vote, such as the
