COMMENDS VERY
HIGHLY STAND
TAKEN BY CO.
Says Improvements Use
less If Road Is Closed
To Travel

Word received at the district
attorney office this afternoon
stated that the Bard and Win
terhaven residents who had per-
mits were being allowed to
cross into Yuma today. The
information, which came by
phone from the quarantine sta
ton near the bridge, was not
specific about the number of
permits that have been issued,
but it is understood that the
general situation is being re-
lieved and that permits will be
available for most Of those who
have business in Yuma.
The stand taken by Imperial Val
ley officials in keeping the county
and state highways open throughout
the entire county, has been strongly
endorsed by Governor Richardson,
who has wired both Sheriff Gillett
and District Attorney Utley COM
mending them on their action in re-
fusing to permit distractions to
motorists at the Yuma Indian reser-
walton and at Knob.
In a telegram sent to Sheriff Gill
lett received here late SatrFday
afternoon, the California governor
said: Road across Yuma Indian
Reservation is state highway and
should be kept open. l have ordered
Odle to remove distractions. State
is preparing to spend thousands of
dollars ON this road, but if it cannot
be kept open for public, it should
be abandoned. People of Imperial
county and of California and Ari-
zona and eastern states interested
in this vital problem. l suggest you
confer with your district attorney
and take efficient, strong and legal
action to suppress violators.
in consequence of this telegram
from the governor, Sheriff Gillett
stated it was his intention to make
arrests if necessary when he found
that chains had been placed across
the highways west of the Yuma In
dian reservation. The subsequent
promises made at the conference in
Yuma, however, made it unneces-
sary to take any drastic action.

SENATE KILLS MELLON TAX PLAl
Democratic 40
Percent SurtQx
Rate is Adopted
NY United Press Lensed Wire

WASHINGTON, May ). - The
Democratic 40 per cent maximum
surtax rate was adopted today by
the senate.
The minority substitute for the
Mellon rates was put over by q
Progressive. Democratic coalition.
This action of the senate automa-
ticallv kills the Mellon surtax rates
and forecasts defeat of his entire
scheme Of normal, corporation and
inheritance rates.
The Democratic surtax rates are
based upon a sliding scale beginning
NJ one per cent on $4,000 and
graduating up TO 40 per cent on
100000.
Mellon proposed % per cent
maximum and the house adopted Il
81. per cent maximum.
The vote was 43 to 30.
Seven Progressives joined with
the Democrats, while two Democrats
voted with the Republicans. The
seven Progressives are: Brookhart,
Frazier, North Dakota; Howell, Neb-
raSka; johnson, California; Ladd,
North Dakota; Norbeck South Da-
ktta. and Norris Of Nebraska.
Bruce of Marylend and Edwards
II New Jersey were the Democrats
who deserted the minority ranks.
Under the action of the senate,
TAX PAYERS Of less than $4,000 will
pay two per cent normal tax next
year. Sur tax rates range from
one per cent ON $4,000 to 10 per
gcni on 100000.
The Mellon plan would have pro
vided three per cent normal tax
on incomes under $4,000 and six
per cent above total figure. Sur
tax rates would have ranged 10 "a
maximum Of - percent.

HallOwell Has Easy
Time Against Lisbon
Falls-ScOre 1877

HalIowell, May 31.-Hallowell
High got the best Of Lisbon Falls
in a hitting match, winning by the
score of 1877. A larger crowd than
usual was ON hand to witness the
battle.
Hallowell held the visitors score
less in the first, while tallying once
themselves. Apparently Lisbon Falls
used her best stick artists on the
last of the lineup, and as a result
their first work was acquiring three
runs. The best hit of these latter
men was q hit into deep center field
for a sweet triple scoring two men
ahead. l.. Johnson was the guilty
party for this blood. In the next two
innings the home team tied the score
while holding the visitors scereless
up to the eighth, being wise as to the
reversing of their lineup in hitting
ability.
Through the fourth and fifth the
score remained tie. For Lisbon the
sixth inning was misery, being one of
costly misplays and errors. Evident
ly the Hallowelrs outfit needed runs
as we'll as hits and this they got at
the visitors expense. Each man had
at least one chance at the ball and
upon retiring found that all but Le-
rette had made the trip homeward.
Being hopelcssly submerged Lis
bon put their right fielder into the
box. The best he could do was hold
ing them to two runs for the re-
mainder of the game.
In the eighth and ninth Lisbon
showed a vague hope of winning in
four cylinder rally but they were
gone.
A great factor in the winning Of
the game was the presence Of the
Bigelow's Boys Band who were con-
stantly rafting the opposing team.
