i RANK INJTSTICE

Rank injustice, fragrant disregard of the rights of
Southern California and deliberate scheme to make
the Is southern counties pay the major part of
highway construction charges beng hurried at the
state tOuOWng the passage OF the bIl ncreaS
ing the gasoline tax.
Ihe failure OF every amendment designed to give
square to the south is pointed conclusive
evidence, by opponents of the additional gas tax, that
all sense justice thrown to the winds and that
the northern senator's with their bare majority,
actuated by determination-to get the money
gardless OF how it might affect the southern part of
the state. The vote indicates concuSVey, according
to Observers that the south made tight against
the injustice imposed, voting solidiy against the
sure with one exception.
Although there is a motion to reconsider the bill
in the senate the only hope Southern California has
of defeating the for every citizen of this
section to immediately urge their aSSemblymen to
defeat the when it before the assembly.
That conspiracy born of disregard for the rights
of others existed proven by the fact that Senator
Breed and his supporters led the fight against Senator
Swings amendment which would give Southern Cali
fornIa so per cent of the highway expenditures.
Unless this bill is defeated IN the assembly it will
that in the next few years the southern counties
Will be forced to pay bonus of SOL O00OUO is the
sertion of Carl Z. McSay field secretary of the Auto
ity with the state highway development dates from
years trail blazer, and has been earnest
ly opposing the increased gas tax.
This is the amount the south will be assessed in
of what they will receive. Every loyal citizen
of Southern California should protest this rank
fairness by getting into Immediate touch with assem-
bymen from their respective DISTRICTS he urges.
Surely we here in Imperial county, who have suf-
fered and long in the of poor roads know
the bitterness Of having to pay fund from
which have not received proportOnate share Of

A PROFITABLE VACATION

OF all the young taking vacation this year
will get benefit from it than the thousands
who take "a months vacation at Uncle Sans expense.
Uncle does profess to be altogether philanthropy
ic about it. He maintains his training camps
good and strategic reasons to keep alive healthy
spirit of sefdefense in the nation and provide the
rudments of military training to American youth who
otherwise would have had any such training Il
benefit to the government and the country have
a few score thousand young men undergoing such
dose of instruction and discipline every summer But
it does them good than It does Uncle Sam
This is not saying that there is hardship in the
experience. The work and exercise are hard-just
it is hard padding and carrying canoe, with its
equipment, 40 miles day in the Canadian woods,
trailing big game the mountains with gun. But
there Joy and satisfaction in the achievement and
there pleasant compensations along the way.
1t is safe to say that the lads choosing this kind
of vacation will come back to home and job far better
in health, vgor and spirit than nine-enths of their
friends who have preferred the softer and eXpen
