SCOTT GOES TO
s. D. HEARING ON
RAILROAD RATES

Attorney Charles f. Scott, presi-
dent of the El Centre Chamber of
Commerce, appeared before the in
terstate commerce commission at
San Diego yesterday to personally
present FL Centre s position in sign
ing the petition for milling-in tran
sit privileges headed by the San
Diego chamber of commerce, in
which it is asked that the same
rates enjoyed by other big coast
cities be extended to San Diego.
The hearing is expected to last
for several days during which time
representative from the Is parties
interested will be heard by examiner
Warren II. Wagner.
Ell Centre, Escondido, Calexico,
Phoenix, Anaheim, Santa Ana Fall
brook, the Imperial County Farm
Bureau, the Arizona Cattle Grow
ers' association and the Arizona
Corporation commission are among
those who are intervening.
The object in Ell Centro joining
in the movement, Mr.. Scott said,
is that the new rate asked would
place this city on the transcontinen-
tai shipping route and livestock
can be brought to Imperial Valley
for feeding from eastern points on
the lower through rates which OBJ
tain on all transcontinental routes.
Evidence yesterday morning was
taken to show that San Diego is an
important manufacturing center for
Il large radius and that it is en-
titled to the same through rates ON
material shipped there for manufac-
ture and resnIpment as are Los An
geles, San Francisco, Seattle and
other large coast cities.
There will be no decision given
at the end of the hearings, but
the examiner will take the evidence
before the interstate commerce com
mission, which will eventually make
recommendations ON its findings.
C. C. Jenkins, manager of the I'M
perial County Farm Bureau, was al
so present at the hearings yester-
day to represent interests of his
organization.

MUCH OF STRIFE
CENTERS AROUND
BARTON'S REPORT
Davis Makes Emphatic
Demand For Real
Facts

Starting peacefully eongh with
the reports of tke three delegates
to Washington, the meeting of the
board of the directors of the I'm.
perial Irrigation District yesterday
afternoon turned out to be q storm
center in which actions of board
members were placed on the paI
and exposed to fiery criticism BY
citizens of the valley who were
present at the meeting.
The discussions ranged from cri
ticism of Mark Rose for demanding
salary of $500 a month, in adj
dition to his salary as director, for
going to Washington to work for
the Swing bill, to q demand that
the findings of G. w. Barton rela-
tive to the grand jury report be
published so that residents of the
valley could see what they were,
and included a warning to the board
that every effort would be made to
force it to move its office head
quarters from the present location
to the new county court house. The
rent for the present premises is
$3.50 month and lease must be
signed for five years. 1t is under
stood the county supervisors have
offered the district free quarters i'll
the new county court house which,
if accepted, would mean a saving
to the people of $4,000 rent in the
next five years time.
The general opinion of members
of the board and outsiders who were
present, and who represented large
land holdings in the valley, was ex.
pressed strongly, favoring the con
tinuance of the fight in Washing
ton for the passage of the Swing
| bill
Elmer Heald expressed the gen.
eral feeling in the matter when he
said in concluding his report to the,
| board. ''The board and people of
Imperial Valley can have Boulder
Canyon dam if they will fight for
it, but if they quit now we re sure

in the afternoon, the board passed
