TWO /, IMPORTANT
TAX DEC ISIONS
RECEIVED TODAY

Two important decisions of Unit
ed States courts were received from
Washington yesterday by Collector
of Internal Revenue Rex B. Good
CELL
In bankruptcy eases n decision
holds that the government has a
lien without formal demand after
assessment where the taxpayer vol
unfairly agrees upon the amount of
proposed additional income taxes
and the sum to be paid in compro-
mise thereof, the latter sum is tend
cred and rejected before assessment
under previous arrangement with
the department.
Unsecured creditors who, at a
taxpayers request, pay taxes for
winch the government has a lien,
under agreement with taxpayer to
be subrogated to lien rights of the
government, are entitled to prefer
ence in distribution of assets of the
taxpayer in bankruptcy.
Regarding suits of taxpayers to
restrain the collection of taxes the
federal court decision holds that
under the provisions of Section
1924 Revised Statutes an Injunction
VIII not lie against collector of
internal revenue to restrain the col
lection of tax legally assessed.

MILLER NAMED
AS SUCCESSOR
TO PAUL JONES
Directors State Latter
Not in Harmony
With Plans !,


Fl. G. Miller, assistant superin-
tendent of the Imperial division,
was named in resolution adopted
by the board of directors of the
Imperial Irrigation district yester-
day to succeed Jaul s. Jones as sup
erintendent of the division.
The resolution as adopted gave
no reason for the change in the
superintendent s position. Members
of the board of directors, however.
stated following the action that the
reason lay in the fact that Super
intendent Jones is not in sympathy
with the program of economy re-
organization mapped out and being
pursued by the directors.
In Miller the district has a man
thoroughly experienced in opera
tion of the irrigating works, and
man who has been long in the en-
ploy of the district, according to
high officials.
He came to the valley more than
a decade ago where he intended to
ranch. Shortly after his arrival he
took a position as zanjero, which
place he held for O year and was
then made photographer at Rositas
dam. He held that position for four
years and was then made water
master of the Imperial Water Co.
No. |. He continued as water master
when the mutual companies were
absorbed by the district.
Among other matters taken up
by the directors at the session YES.
terday was the employment of for.
mer Director of Reclamation Service
a. r. Davis, to represent the district
~ the conference of the Tri-State
Colorado River Joint Commission
that is to meet in August at Phoe-
NIX for the purpose of allocating
waters of the lower basin. Mr.. Da-
v's Will represent other municipal
lties and the organizations in
Southern California. He was the
co-author of the Fall-Davis report
III which the problems of the lower
Colorado river were set out and
recommendations that the Boulder
Dam All-American canal project be
taken into the hands of the govern.
n'ent to afford flood protection and
water storage and power develop
mont to the fullest extent.
In a resolution adopted by vote
OF four to one the attorney for the
district was instructed to take an
appeal of the decision in the Me-
him ease. The case was decided
by Judge Burnell of Los Angeles
for the plaintiffs and if allowed to
stand as it is at present would
make the re-divisioning order by
which Director Blair holds his seat
on the board, void. The directors
are confident that the appeal win
result in a reversal of Judge Bur-
nell S decision. they say.
President Pound was authorized
by the board to get i'm communica-
tom with the Principal Pictures
Corporation to assure them of the
desire ON the part of the district to
give whatever courtesies and assist
ance possible in the filming of the
" Winning of Barbara WORTH
Harold Bell Wright S romance of
the Imperial Valley. The picture is
to be made in the near future and
Will be filmed in the valley.

President COnfers|
With Kellogg On
Oriental Middle
BY DALE VAN EVERY
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

SWAMPSCOTT, Mass, July L.
America 3 course toward China and
its troublesome problems is expected
to, be framed over the weekend in
conferences between President Cool.
idge, Secretary of StateAK ellogg and
Under Secretary of State Grew.
Upon these important consulta-
tions may hinge much Of the immed-
late future of China and its rela,
tions to the other world powers.
While the conferences are deserib-
ed as consultations on several for
eign problems, China is their center
and, while there is apparently some
disposition to make the conference
coming appear more or less routine,
il is known that world capitals are
following the outcome with more
than extraordinary interest.
The President s weekend talk
with Kellogg marks the first maj
problem of state with which the
President has grappled since coming
to this seaside retreat. The confer
enee, il is expected, will determine
definitely the stand America will
take toward the question of foreign
extra-territoriality privileges.
The President is known TO want
to start on this highly important
question, which according to the
Chinese, is the crux of the entire
Chinese problem. The state depart
ment has been represented as desir-
ing to see stability in China, with
gradual abolition of extra.t .territori- :
ality.
Dispatches from abroad today pic
tnred other powers interested in
China as more hesitant than Presi-
dent Coolidge on the problem. They
would have customs conference,
warning to China to right her own
house keeping, and then would even
tually come TO an extra-territorial
conference.

BY DEATH OF
POPULAR MAN
Funeral of r. |. Martin
To Be Held
Monday

Many residents of FL Centro were
shocked and grieved this morning
to learn of the death of r. I. Mar
tin, one of the city's most popular
younger business men, who died at
his home 643 Hamilton avenue last
night, after a short illness.
Mr.. Martin, who was known to
hundreds of residents of the valley
as Cray although his name was
Russell, was taken sick about two
weeks ago, with tonsilitis. His con
dition proved more serious than was
at first believed, and following an
operation, his heart became affect
ed, and the failure of that organ
to withstand the shock, resulted in
his death. Only yesterday his con
dition was reported to thc Press as
much improved. but turn for the
worse came early last night.
The deceased was employed as an
automobile salesman by the C. w.
McCabe company, and ranked high
est in the company estimation Re
Gently he told the writer that he
was certain to rank highest in q
sales competition which the com
pany conducted, and was anticipat-
ing a-trip to the worlds series next
fall as a reward for his good work
He was prominent in fraternal
and social organizations of the city,
being a member of the American
Legion, esquire of the Elks lodge,
and leading member of the Ell
Centre Golf club which he helped
organize.
Of genial and sunny disposition,
he endeared himself to all who were
fortunate enough to call him friend,
and these were by no means limited
to Ell Centre, but were from all parts
of the valley. To meet Ray Martin
was dixie coming into the sunshine
after q storm.
Funeral services will be held Mon
day afternoon at 2:30 from the

CRESCENT CITY, Cal. July
ARMED with 12-inch ruler

man in town these days.
His activity is occasioned by
far-sighted legislation by the
town trustees, who have estab-

curing automobiles to be with
in one foot of the curbstone,
and limiting parking to one
hour, day or night, on the
town S one main thoroughfare.
o Leary so far has found his
alarm clock sufficient to Judge
the parking limit, since there
has not yet been an over ablmd-
arce of traffic. When the mo-
torist parks his car OLearv ap-
pears and measures its proxim-
lty to the curb and puts the
clock down beside the ear.
Then he goes away and at
tends to his other duties which
consist of being head of the po-
lice, hunting for dry law of
tenders, and city tax collector.
When the alarm goes off
o Leary does dash to the
scene. IF tho same automobile
is still there, out comes

Drop Canal

More water and a Stabilized flow
is our pressing need, the canal does
not increase the. water one drop, it
is therefore a secondary matter and
can wait. 1t is undoubtedly a'fact
that when the canal is needed, and
the lands benefited bear the burden
of costs no one will object.
One thing at time is the govern
ments way of doing. Secretary
Hoover represents the government.
He told us in Ell Centre nearly three
years ago that if we were willing to
take one thing at time the govern
ment was ready to serve us. The ad-
vice went over our heads and we
have been trying to force the gov,
ernment's hand ever since but of
no avail.
Our present canal is an all gravity
flow, free from sand blow, or slide
menace, or any excess of seepage,
it has cost Us six millions of dollars,
why abandon it and build another
through questionable sand hills at a
cost of from forty to sixty millions
of dollars. We have no difficulty
in getting the water out of the pre-
sent canal, the problem of getting it
in is difficult and expensive.
1t is not another canal we need,
it is more water. The dam is the
only way more water can be OBJ.
tanned .r-'r.
We are assured by all engineers
that the Colorado river will supply
far more water than we can all use,
Mexico included. That being true
why worry about Chandler and Mex
leo.

ten million dollars, build the social

with Laguna dam and extending a

Sell Mexico all the water she
wants, we need the money. Our ir:
