Magnus Johnson, new Minnesota
senator, probably believes in the cor
reciion OF agricultural economic evils
through legislation. Some things can
be done is the way OF providing cred
its for farmers and permitting law
full wholesale organization OF this class
OF producers. But most OF those things
have been done.
II is interesting to note that John
son was supported by such irrecon-
ciliable groups. economically. as or
gained labor and farmers IL is in
teresting to note. TOO. on the premise
OF Johnsons success what Samuel
Crompers. president OF the American
Federation OF Labor, says relative to
the law panacea for agricultural ills.
He told a wheat conference audience
at Chicago recently:
The state of the farmer may
be described as an economic NAL
adjustment; and that being the
case il can be righted. 1t seems
easy to rush to the Lawmakers,
and ask for law. Let me assure
you, ont OF a long and active ex-
perience. that there is no great
magic in law. You will not stop
the economic machine and re-
verse its operation by the enact
ment of a law. About the best
that law can do is to go along
with a ripcning public sentiment
or a ripening economic develop
ment.
There are many Lawmakers
some farmers and some wage
earners who forget that we are
living in an industrial civiliza-
ton, developing and changing in
accord with the progress of hui
man needs, invention. and the
supplies OF raw materials. The
dominant character Of a civ
ilization is and must be re-
Elected in its customs. its laws
and its manner OF life. Study his
tory to find out about that.
Lawmakers a decade ago
were furiously engaged in try
ing to 'bust the trusts" Polit-
ical campaigns were fought on
that issue. The graveyards of the
decade are not filled with the
remains OF busted trusts but they
are well populated with the skel-
etons OF forgotten laws and law
makers. The trusts are greater
than ever. II has been possible to
Grub some OF their practices and
club some of their practices. but
the essential structure has stood
because it was economically right
and economically inevitable. 1
| point to these things to help
make clear my thought. The road
to right practices. right develop
ment. right compensations for
various kinds OF useful service is
not through congress or state II
legislatures. {
Mr.. Gompers is right. On of the a
troubles with the I'M c
ed States today is too much law c
nd too much seeking relief through l
ew statutes for every i'll the nation q
assesses. p

NEW YORK, September 90
Papyrus of England landed from
the Aquitania at the Cunard pier at
the foot of 14th street at 'S clock
today.
Majestically he strode down an
80 foot spliced gangplank, cover
ed and carpeted. Crowds cheered,
traffic policemen were on guard.
1t looked like the arrival of a
foreign prince or prize fighter.
AS the English Derby winnerlset
foot on the pier he pricked mp his
ears at the cheers, then became in
dignant. He danced and pranced.
For Il moment it appeared as though
he might do high dive into the
North river.
He refused to pose for photo
graphers and rushed into a palatial
two-stall motor driven horse limou-
sine.
Bar Gold, his stable companion,

BRAWLEY MAN IS
new OWNER OF
LOCAL COMPANY

A commercial transfer which will
be of interest to people of this city
and Brawley occurred yesterday
when final papers were signed for
the purchase of the Bernard Schire-
son Company, wholesale paper and
woodenware dealers, 127 North
Fifth street, Ell Centre, by w. A.
Sheniman of Brawley.
Mr.. Scheniman is the owner of the
Scheniman Paper Company of Braw-
ley, and plans to add the. local bus
mess to his holdings. He will take
over TIE Ell Centre office at once
and expects to bring his wife to
this city some time in the future to
make his permanent home. Mr..
Scheniman has been. a resident of
Imperial Valley for about the last
ten years, and is thoroughly famil-
lar with business conditions here.
Mr.. Schireson, who is also the
owner of the Park View apartments
in this city, has been located here
for ten years, and states that he
and his family will regret leaving
FL Centre, but that change of
climate seems necessary for his
daughters health. Mr.. Schireson
has already opened a wholesale bus
mess in Los Angeles, where he will
handle the same lines as formerly.
He states that he will not dispose
of the Park View, which he consid-
ers an excellent investment.
Mrs. Freda Record, who has been
housekeeper at the Park View for
the last seven years, will be in
charge of the apartment in the fu-
ture.

Chief Ferguson Cites Causes
of Many Fires in Ell Centre
as Prevention Plans Talked

Members of the FL Centre fire
department will have regular
meeting at fire headquarters Mon
day night at which plans for con
ducting fire prevention week, Oc-
tobr Z to 13, will be discussed. The
fire department is entering whole
heartedly into the spirit of fire
prevention and cleanup week as
they, perhaps better than any other
organization, realize the necessity
of having a clean city in order to
reduce the fire menace.
AT the meeting of the general
committee Thursday night, Chief
Ferguson brought out some of the
more common causes of fire in I'll
Centre and asserted that the ma jor-
ity of fires are caused by careless
ness with combustible materials and
negligence in taking proper pre-
cautions to guard against fire
causes.

'chief causes of FL Centro's fires,
the chief said. Due to the almost
universal use in this city of this
type of stove, the danger from
them is realized by members of the
department. Where owners neglect
to keep them clean and in good
condition they explode or refuse to
function properly, causing many
fires.
Carelessness Charged
Carelessness with electric extern

fire pointed out by the chief. In
many homes, he assertedb extbn-

short circuit and fire. The use

also condemned by the chief.

LIQUID MUD IS
TRYING. PROBLEM
TO RRICAT6RS

Farmers of the Imperial Valley
who have been wondering for the
past ten, days just how long the
main and small canals were going
to continue to bring in the load of
liquid mud which they have been
carrying, will hail with joy the
statement made today by Mark
Rose, member of the board of di-
rectors of the Imperial Irrigation
District, that the Gilal flood has
practically passed.
Since the recent cloudbursts in
Arizona have caused the Gila River
to come pouring into the Colorado
loaded with heavy, reddish mud,
the farmers of the valley have been
confronted with the problem of
making sticky, soil-filled stream
of water do the work of the usual
supply.
The result has been silt filled
bitches, extreme difficulty in get
ting the water to 50 sub up' in the
newly planted lettuce fields. and
the appearance of an adobe coating
on the surface of the ground after
it dries off from irrigation.
Non-Productive Soil
Not the least of the farmers com
plant is that while the silt which
comes from the Colorado is rich sed-
iment, the mud which comes down
from the Gila becomes, after dry
ing a barren soil in which plants
not only refuse to grow, but
through which sprouting seeds can
not force their way.
In discussing the problem of the
Gila water, which has been excep-
tionally trying this season, Mark
Rose remarked that were the valley
receiving water through the Ali
American canal, this situation would
be entirely eliminated, as the head
of the canal with its intake from
the Colorado near the Laguna dam.
would bring i'll water above the
Gila.
Though there will always be some
silt disposal problem in the valley
bitches until extensive settling
basins are built, Mr.. Rose believes
that this incidental advantage of
the All-American Canal would rep
resent a great financial saving to
the valley, as he estimates that it

the neighborhood of 100000 to get
rid of this last deluge of Gila mud,

which escaped destruction in the
quakes of September l, were shak-
EN- today by tremors of moderate
intensity. The new shocks caused
no damage and were not felt in

The tremendous earthquakes which

Train Wrecker
Gets Sentence
5 Yrs. or Less

Not more than fire years in the
state prison at San Quentin was the
sentence imposed by Judge Cole on
John Bonnets in the superior court
this morning. Bonnets was convict
ed by jury on Thursday of at
tempting to wreck Southern Paci-
fic passenger train at lockwood on
August 10. Investigation by tho
court into Bonnets' personal history
brought forth the information that
he had been rejected from the army
at Camp Dix during the World War,
but could not state why he was not
accepted for service. Bonnets show
ed more interest in his case in court
today than at any time since his ar
rest and freely answered questions
put to him by the court, something
he refused to do during his prelim-
mary hearing and subsequent trial.
He will be taken to San Quentin
prison next week, it was stated at
