1t hs been earned here that 1000
mile telephone line from Los Angc-
les to Ell Paso, Tex, will pass
through Imperial valley. In addi-
tion to tapping the main points
en- route, there will be branch lines
to some of the important cities in
regions such as the Imperial valley,
it was stated at head quarters.
Messrs Cory and Herman of the
California Development Co. took Il
party of the directors of the various
water companies of the valley on
II trip of inspection to the head
ing on the Colorado river. The
party included Messrs Farnsworth,
Whsle, Hovely, Stewart, Allen,
Mansfield and Witter. they were
shown the extensive riprappinG
which has been done along the
canal at the intake and other pro-
tective work the company has i'll

THE FRUITS or BOOTLEGGING

The government has made tremendous efforts to
check the international bootleggers and, although rum
running continues. it apparent that the of the
epidemic is past. The temporary of the law
breakers however, has lasted long enough encour-
age new evil, and one which promises to be even
harder to combat.
The rum runners, according to federal officials
have discovered that jewels be smugged into the
country easily and with less trouble than Scotch
whisky, and that the profits of the trade are no less
attractive. AS result millions in revenue are being
lost annually while the jewellers of the country are
vouble in their complaint of unfair competition from
dealers in stones which have paid duty.
has gone far to volunteer the most complete
operation with the customs service and although there
there obvious legal obstacles which must be
mounted, arrangement for coordinated effort
seems probable.
Unofficial aid has played small part in the en-
forcement of the prohibition law, but it has been in
spred by sentimental rather than business interest.
We may hope that when big business organization
really sets out to work with the government in
like this the results will be still more gratifying.

THE .CTEET, DAY

The eight-hour steel day may still be hull down
on the horizon but at least the tops of its have
begun to stick up into the blue The executives Of the
United States Steel Corporation subsidiaries and of
the independent steel companies of the American Iron
and Steel Institute have concluded their conference
and have started off to their respective plants to be-
gin putting the eighthour day into effect
The men who had been working II hours for $3.50
will be given S4 for their eight hour day. This in
creases their rate of pay 25 per cent, making the de-
pay coming with the decrease in hours easier
to get with.
Undoubtedly the increase in human power COM
ing from the shorter day will in a short time compen
safe the worker and his family for the lowering in
his pay per week. Stories of the home conditions of
the continuous process steel workers have not been
pleasant reading. The man with four hours less of
accumulated fatigue and four hours of leeway
in his day will unquestonably be found, after period
of physical adjustment putting some of his strength
and time into improving his abiding place
The gain from every human point of view in Civ
ing men chance to be instead of mere laboring
animals is which restores the soul of the one un-
dergong the process and of the contemplating it.

SHALL THE GorERNMENTiBu WHEAT

Wheat growers of the West and Northwest have
raised once more the question of government pur
chases direct and simple means of restoring the
market for their crop The plan is not one,
but there is to believe that its proponents in
tent present ills, have neglected to think through
to its logical conclusion.
Wheat is not the only basic commodity with
downward price trend Oil production has been break
ing all records in recent months and producers and
refiners alike disturbed output that far
exceeds consumption. One wonders what the group
advocating wholesale wheat purchases with the tax
payers money would have to say the oil men to
demand similar relief from the same source?
The latest trade reports show falling prices for
building materials, coal, hogs and beef. drugs and
chemicals, steel and any number of other commodi-
ties produced by the labor of American voters Is the
government to come to the aid of all these essential
industries? Is its obligation to the farmer greater
than to those whose time and industry go the pro-
ducton of commodities hardly less important than
food?
Surely, there must be way out of the farm
ers difficulty without establishing so dangerous
precedent government purchase of basic commod-
lty means of stabilizing market. There is no
telling what such procedure might lead to- and none
Of those who plead fer il to have given the mat

Funeral Services
For Mrs. Bay!ess

A group of relatives and friends
gathered at the Presbyterian church
last Monday afternoon in token of
their esteem for Mrs. Adella Bay
liss, who died at her home last Sat
urday afternoon. DR.. Fraser preach
ed the funeral sermon and inter-
ment was in the Rawlins cemetery.
The death Of Mrs. Bayliss came
altogether unheralded. She had
been down town Saturday after
noon and at $50 O'Clock developed
a severe pain in her head. DR.. Nc
Lain, who arrived almost immedi-
ately in answer to a hurry call, ad-
ministered Il medicine and his pa
tient was so much improved that
the doctor left for his home. A sud
den turn for the worse came and
attempts to reach DR.. McLain were
futile since he had not as yet ar
rived at any place where he could
be communicated with. DR.. KeIl
was summoned, but Mrs. Bayliss's
case was one of apoplexy with
virtually no chance of recovery. She
died in less than one hour from
the time she became i'll.
Her husband and one daughter
survive her, and The Republican
extends its heartiest sympathy to
them in their sad estate.
