WHY PUBLIC SERVICE IS COSTLY

A successful business man who Is now acting as
a city manager was asked, the other day, what the
chances OF getting dollar for dollar in public SER
vice compared with private service. His answer IS
worth thinking about.
"Up to date" he said "the plain truth is the pub
lie does not much for its money private business
That is true not merely of this country In Ontario
they have Sir Adam Beck, able business man and
notable public figure who is devoted to the develop
Inent of great hydro-electrc projects When he built
the Chippewa Canal he had the best experts to be OBJ
tained But somehow the unit cost greater than
in private business 1t is nearly always that way.
why? When work for the government,
they know it, and somehow they will not tolerate push
ing and croWding
There seems to be a creeping paralysis which
overtakes men in public employment There is idea
that government belongs to whoever get it, idea
that city government particularly is sort OF private
venture the part Of offceholders. This goes from
the top all the way down the line Men come to think
they have right to their jobs, and can do as they
please. That is hard to change"
But this particular critic does not place all the
blame on the offce-hoders. He put the final respOns
ibty up to the voters. Some day he says, when the
American citizen gets it into his head that he is
ereign just as much as any king when
he gets away from the notion that his vote IS private
property, and that he can vote for man because he
has red hair or vote to fire merely because he
doesn't like him personaly-n short, when the voter
realizes his own public responsibility about public en-
pioyees-then in public service will realize that
they are working for the community, and give full
service

REALTY MEET OF GREAT BENEFIT

For the past two days Ell Centro and Imperial Val
ley have been hosts to the leaders of the real estate
industry in California, well as to men identified with
the real estate business in national way, who were
here to attend the land conference having for its oD
iect the development of Caifornia's agricultural n
dustry.
Few people in the valley outside of The real estate
men, appreciate the good results that may be obtained
from this conference True it is that these results may
not be apparent Immediately but they are bound to De
felt eventually
Those who were here are leaders in their line, and
the whole world is of the enthusiasm and energy
with which the California real estate men carry on
their affairs Despite the connected with their
business in developing the cities of California they
were carried away completely with the story of mper
ial Valley and the development that has been made
here in the last two decades Even more did they
appreciate the possibilities that still exist here.
For many, it was their first trip to Imperial Val
ley, and with the natural characteristic Of their pro-
fession they did not hesitate to ask questions on I'M
peral Valley land, and surprised at the answers
they received from such men as Mayor VIII 5. FaW-
cett, H. H. Clark and others showing the wonderful
productivity of this community. They were furnished
facts and figures that removed and doubt to lmper
al Valley being of the richest agricultural sections
in the world.
The problems of the valley, such the need for
protection from the flood the addition of new
lands to the irrigated and the assurance OF an
equitable water supply, all Of which will be brought
about by the construction of Boulder Canyon DAM
were brought to the attention of the visitors yes
terdays trip into Mexico and everyone of them
sed to lend their support the passage of the Swing
Johnson bill upon their return to their respective
homes.
The mild climate, the immense scale on which
the lettuce and cantaoupe industries conducted
here the modern cities the progressveness of the ct
zens, all made deep impression the visitors and
showed them that Imperial county, though the new
est portion of the state is abreast with the rest of Cal
orna in the progressive march that IS eventually to
make this state the leader of the nation.
In passing, due tribute should be given to the FL
Centro Realty Board for its and resourceful
in inviting the real estate here, and in parcu
lar to its capable president Ray Edgar and his equally
capable assistant, Henry Loud. These worked i'll
cessanty during the past few weeks to the
cess of the land conference their sole reward being
that they have succeeded beyond their expecta
tOns.
Though sponsored in the main by El Centrans the
conference was not limited to this city, all of Imperial
Valley being invited to participate just it Is hoped
the entire valley will share in the good that must
from the exchange of ideas and the many helpful sug
gesons that apparent to those who were fortu-
enough to have attended of the sessions OF the
land conference.

ON AUTO CARRIERS

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 1S.-Own-

First: All vehicles designed for
commercial purposes. This in
cludes roadsters carving Il box for
the purpose of hauling tools, equip
nent, groceries, produce or any otn-
er property; also all vehicles of Il
delivery or truck construction. The
substitution Of a box for the tur-
tie back : on u roadster would put
such car in the commercial We

Second: Vehicles designed or
used primarily in the transported
tion of passengers for hire. This
Includes motor busses. taxicabs or
any other vehicle designed for the
transportation of persons for hire

ears or roadsters used only occas-
ionally in the transportation of gro
ceries, produce or other property :
and which were "dcsigned primar-
lily or principally y for pleasure
purposes would be exempt from
weight fees.
Vehicles used by statesmen in
transporting them from one place
to another and in which Il sample
case may be carried will be exempt
from the weight fee, the bulletin
stated, provided such vehicle is not
designed for hauling property.

Recent court action in New York restraining GER
tain god-mining companies from further activity in
Yonkers comes very much like the tmehonored custom
of locking the barn door after the horse is stolen 1t
is likely that the particular promoters in question con-
sidered further activity unnecessary, anyhow, since
they had cleared up about $80000O and had vanished
from public and court view.
Apparently the promoters found plenty Of gold in
their Yonkers mining enterprise but it came from the

citizens and not from the earth 1t is just eX
