REINFORCEMENT
ROW UP FOR FINAL
DEBATE THIS WEEK
Baker to Fight Hard
for More l.. A.
Delegates

SACRAMENTO, April l6.-Fate
of plans to reapportion California S
Legislative districts should be settl-
ed during this week. Two major
measures aiming to alter representa-
tiOn are scheduled for consideration
by the states law makers.
Either today or tomorrow Assem-
blyman Cleary expects to seek re-
consideration of his re-apportion
ment measures, limiting the centers
of population to 10 lower house
representatives The Cleary scheme
was lost in the assembly early last
week, with his notice of motion to
reconsider indicating that he still
expects to fight for favorable ac-
tion.
On Thursday at II a. m., Edwin
Baker s re-apportionment bill will
come up in the assembly as d spe-
cial order of business. 1t is around
this measure that chief interest has
centered and over which the great
est debate is expected. The Baker
bill authorizes re-apportionment on
Il strict population basis, giving
Los Angeles county the additional
representation to which the last
census indicated it was entitled.
Active Session
Indications are that the week
starting today will prove one of the
most active session thus far. Con-
sideration of the administration
budget bill was scheduled TO com
mence in the assembly today and Il
hot contest is anticipated before
the measure is allowed to come to
vote.
The Senate finance committee
will tonight continue consideration
of the budget with possibility of
it being voted out.

HARDING To
SOUND OUT
THE PUBLIC;
Will Learn What Inter-
ests People Before Trip
is Made
CAMPAIGN is ON
Believes Interest in World
Affairs Confined to
Politicians
BY LAWRENCE MARTIN
Hx Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 1G.--Pres-
ident Harding will search the minds
Of the country so that he can talk
to the people on his western trip
about things they are most interest
ed in.
He is still of the opinion that do
nestle questions are agitating the
great mass of the people more than
international affairs and is plan
ming his speeches on that basis.
TO be certain, however, the pres
ident will have laid before him be-
fore he starts, results of a cOmpre-
hensive survey Of popular interest.
This is now being made and first
Indications are that Mr.. Harding s
size up of the situation is correct.
Confined to Leaders
The furry over the world court
and the league of nations appears
to be confined mostly to politicians
and party leaders who, unlike Mr..
Harding, are already frankly en-
gagged in preparing for the 1924 or
ganiZation.
From out in the country word
comes that popular interest in the
tCmpcstous debate over the court
proposal within the republican
party and the new activities of
league of nations advocates have
thus far aroused only the mildest
interest.
Every day, however, Mr.. Harding
receives additional evidence of the
importance OF the railroad problem,
the taxation question, prohibition
enforcement, the future of the
farmers and kindred domestic ques-
tions. He believes too that with
the upward swing of business pend
,;lum that popular interest in home
administrations program for giving
more impetus to the return OF pros
perity will interest the people more
than anything else.
Talks with Adams
Mr.. Harding talked briefly with
John II. Adams, chairman of the re-
publican national committee today
about this and other matters. The
president wants party leaders all
over the country to let him know
whether he is right in his choice Of
home affairs rs the major topic of
his trip.
This, does not mean, however, that
he will neglect the international
question. His trip will be a great
opportunity, he believes, to create
and mould public opinion favorable
to an adhesion to the world court
He will try to show the farmers,
manufacturers, and workers of the
country that their prosperity is
linked up with the administration S
program of seeking to prevent war
and thus stabili2ing the world so
that commerce and. building may
resume their normal standards.

CHAMBERS
DRIVE FOR
FUNDS ON
Committee Will Call On
Business Houses
For Support
NEW FINANCE PLAN
Directors Believe Modern
Way of Meeting
Bills is Best

Plans for completing the service
fund of the Chamber of Commerca
call for its completion so that re-
port can be made to the directors
Wednesday night, according to j. r.
Coyle, secretary of the chamber.
A canvas Of the business houses
in the city will be undertaken to-
morrow and Wednesday by COM
mittee. A considerable sum has al
ready been realized, which it is
hoped to increase to such an ex-
tent as will eliminate any necessi-
ty for further calls upon the buai.
ness houses for the remainder Of
the year.
In explanation of the service
fund, it is explained by the board
of directors that the methods used
in the past for financing various
undertakings Of the Chamber Of
Commerce have been unsatisfae-
tory.
Customary Practice
II has been the custom to solicit
funds from the community for spe-
cial events, such as the recent dali
ry day celebration. contributions
to various worthy causes and the
promotion of work Of interest to
the valley at large, among this
latter class being the establishment
of the bureau of markets in this
city during the lettuce season :.nd
road projects with particular atten-
tiOn to the Yuma and Mountain
Springs roads.
a The establishment of service
fund, it is explained, will do away
with the necessity of calls for fin
ancial support during the year.
This is the method that is used in
practically all the cities in South
ern California where the Chamber
of Commerce is functioning AZ such
an organization is supposed to.
Cooperation
In connection with the work of
the Chamber of Commerce, Secre-
tary Coyle says, Incorporation
should be the keynote to all our ef-
forts. The spirit of the FL Centre
Chamber of Commerce is co-Opera-
tion. Cooperation as between III
cities in Imperial Valley and as
between Imperial Valley and the

CIVILIZATIONS
FUTURE AT STAKE
SAYS PRESIDENT
Says We Must Accept
the answer When
Found"

WASHINGTON, April 16.-The
destiny of the race and the future
of civilization, depends on the find
ing of an answer to world problems.
and "on our sincere, generous,
broad minced acceptance of that
answer when it is found Presi-
dent Harding said in addressing the
convention of the d. A. X.
"But, ~ the president added,
"nntil the new paths are well re-
vealed we must hold secure that
which we inherited We shall not
find an answer which will be com
pletely satisfactory to any state or
race of people.
"Such was the spirit in which
the fathers of our country reached
the compromises which made this
nation possible. 1t is the spirit,
am very sure, in which the world. of
today must attack the problems
that beset its ways toward the
higher destiny we all believe is in
store for humanity.
The war torn world today might
find cheering encouragement in a
study of America s beginnings, Mr..
Harding said. He warmly praised
the efforts of the d. A. r. "to pre-
serve and promote those sentiments
of civic duty, of broadly national
concern, of genuine patriotism,
which constitute our richest inheri-
tance.'

perial Valley, was brought to n
close last night and the committee
in charge of the show feel that it

the show was very pleasing to the
dealers, sales of ears being excep-
tionally good and many live pros
poets were lined up by the ener-
getie and hustling salesmen of the
various dealers.
The show committee wishes to
thank all who attended the show
for their patronage, also the citi-
zens and business houses in the val
ley who assisted them in making
the show a success, and in particu-
lar for the aid extended Tuesday

Already the dealers are talking
about next years show, which they
say will be bigger and better than
ever, thanks to the encouragement
given them this season in their eff
fort to provide Imperial Valley
with u show worthy to be classed
with any in Southern California.

BY LLOYD ALLEN,
By Press star Orresp0nuent

LONDON, April lG.--The Bcnar
Law ministry presented its budget
which may make or break the
government to parliament today.
AS the monentous monetary prob
lem was placed before the legisla.
tors rumors pesisted that the resig
nation of the Bonar Law cabinet
was at hand. This was officially
denied at 10 Downing street.
The fate of the English pocket
book lies in the budget. 1t had
been announced that tax reductions
would be submitted and the nation
is awaiting the scheme with breath
less expectancy.
1t is generally forecast that the
reductions will include Il slice of
six pence from the income levy, a
penny per pint off beer and a
halviRg off the corporation tax.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Bald
win already has arranged with the
brewers for reduction in the price
of beer effective tomorrow. This
is expected to be the occasion for
nation wide jubilee in all public
drinking places.
Killing Rumors
While the budget system is hang
ing fire the government is having a
hard time killing the widespread
rumor of ministry resignation. The
Morning Post today jeered the
rumOr. The Times submitted the of
ficial announcement us proof that
there was no foundation to the
story, but some other sections of
the British press refused to be con
WINGED.
During the forenoon in parlia-
ment, the usual list of treasury fig
urcs regarding the financial stand
ing of the nation was issued to
members who were jammed into the
crowded chamber.
There was little attention paid to
these, however, and most waited pa
tiently for the chancellor s report.
