MOVEMENT IS ON
FOOT FOR BETTER
STREET LIGHTING

That better street lighting, recog
nized as one of the most essential
needs Of FL Centro. is to be given
immediate and satisfactory atten-
tion, is evident from the visit of \.
F. Costigan, representing the Munich
pal Service Company of Long Beahc,
ut the meeting of the board Of di-
rectors of the Ell Centre Chamber of
Commerce last night.
Costigan has been in this city for
several days, and has succeeded in
interesting Il ma joritv of the proper.
ty owners on Fifth street, to sign an
agreement for the installation of an
ornamental street lighting system
on that street. His visit to the
chomber last night was for the pur
pose of obtaining the endorsement
of the directors for his plan. and this
was readily given.
Costigan S company specializes
ill the Marbelite Lighting Standards,
similar to those which have been in
stalled in the south end of the city.
The plan for Fifth street calls for
the installation of Il single globe
standard, which adds considerably
TO the attracitiveness of the street,
as we'll as providing adequate light
ing. Tho standard measures 10
feet, 8 l.2 inches from the ground to
the globe and II feet PA inches
from the ground to the lighting cen
ter.
In outlining his plan TO the board
of directors, Costigan stated that
practically every property owner on
south Fifth Street who has been
solicited to sign up for the new light
ing system, readily consented, and
that by the end of the week, he eX-
pected to have ii sufficient number
Of signatures to warrant going
ahead with the work.
Sixth Street Interested
So enthusiastic have the Fifth
street people become about the sYS-
TEN that the contagin has spread
to Sixth street, and it is possible
that the system may be installed on
Sixth street, also, and it is possible
that the system may be installed ON
Sixth street also, and eventually be
adopted throughout the city.
Need for better lighting in the
city S residential sections has been
recognized by the chamber of com
merce, the city trustees and the
general public, for several years
past. and it is believed that the
present movement for better lights
will meet with the favor of all who
have the progress of the city in
mind.
The chamber also gave endorse
ment to the use of decomposed gran
lite bv the state in constructing the
state highway between this city and
Holtville. and recommended that
this be adopted in the specifications.
Ed Marley, of the international
Corresponding Schools. and Oran
Stark, proprietor of the Guernsey
Dairy, were voted to membership
in the chamber.

ment cannot tolerate within its ranks
opportunists whose main aim is the
undermining of the feminist role of
the party and league. The meeting
will make clear that in order to pre-
vent any manifestations of Loreism,
we must not only take organizational
steps but must also carry on a per-
sistent theological campaign against
all forms of opportunism. Thus the
league will become permeated with
Bolshevik theology.
This meeting marks the beginning
of the theological campaign of the
Young Workers League here against
all forms of opportunism in the Com

MELLON UNITES
WITH GARY TO
SLASH TAXES
Cut Will Affect Large
Incomes Only
Especial to The DAILY workerl

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 21.-
Secretary Of the Treasury Andrew
Mellon, one of the richest men in the
United States and the owner Of the
aluminium trust, opposed the exemp-
ton of these whose incomes are less
than $4,000 annually before the ways
and means committee, of the senate,
now in session discussing proposed
tax reduction program to be present.
ed for ratification in December.
Mellon Presents Program
Andrew Mellon presented his pro-
gram before the ways and means COM
mittee in which he recommends that
the rate of taxation on large incomes
be lowered to half of their present
taxation and the rates on incomes be-
low S150,000 receive minor decreases.
The program presented by Andrew
Mellon of the United States treasury
differs but little from that presented
by the national industrial conference
board, located in New York which is
controlled by the steel and building
interests. The small taxpayer gets
little consideration in either of those
programs.
Closed Doors In Appeal Courts
The industrial conference board in
sists that the features of formal court
procedure and the publicity attendant
thereto be eliminated in connection
with cases that appear before the
board of tax appeals. The large cor
porations realize that closed court
would enable them to get great re-
auctions in taxes upon appeals.
Program Of Liberals"
The recommendations of many of
the republican and democratic lead
ers in the senate favor leaving taxa
ton of large incomes at the present
rates and the exemption of taxpayers
whose income are less than $4,000.
Mellon put up a desperate fight to
convince the committee of the neces-
sity Of placing the payment Of the
war debt on the shoulders of the
small taxpayers saying:
government on q 10 Basis
1T must be remembered that great
businesses have been built upon small
returns and large volume. The most
conspicuous example which comes to
my mind is the and 10 cent store.
''As a matter of policy it is advis-
able to have every citizen with
stake in his country. Nothing brings
home to a man the feeling that he
personally has an interest in seeing
that the government revenues are not
expended, as the fact that he contri-
butes individually a direct tax, no
matter how small, to his government"
To Pay Debt to Bankers
The treasury head also made known
that he intends to have the war debt
which the United States owes the
banking interests paid in this genera
ton by using the surplus which ac-
cumulates in the treasury department
to pay off some of the debts.

RIFF|ANS Get
GOOD LAUGH AT
INvADERSl COST
Made Heavy Attack on
Barren Hillside

ADJIR, Spanish Morocco ~ (By
Mail combined air, artillery
and heavy guns of the island fortress
of Alhucemas were directed against
a hillside where thousands of Riff
ans were supposed to be Smelling the
town of Adjir.
Desperate French-Spanish Attempt.
For three weeks one-third of the
combined forces of the French and
Spanish fleets rained heavy shells on
this hillside. Airplanes dropped
their bombs. Heavy guns doomed
from the island fortress. The news
papers of Europe were filled with the
heroic deeds" of the French and
Spanish soldiery.
When one goes behind the lines
and learns what really was happen
ing on the hillside, good laugh at
the frantic efforts of the French and
Spanish imperialists is produced by
the tale the Riffs tell.
Seven ArtiIIerymen Draw Fire.
The garrison which defended this
hillside consisted of but seven fight
ing soldiers. Besides these seven ar
tillerymen there we're cook, a IL
year old boy, and two telephone OPP
orators.
Little did the French and Spanish
commanders realize that the bombs
and shells that rained on the hill
side exploded on barren desert soil
with little effect on the defenders of
the hillside.
Riffs Bluff lmperiaIist Generals.
The French and Spanish generals
have labored under the impression
that the region about Alhucemas Bay
was heavily garrisoned by the Riff
tribesmen. Abd-el-Krim has main
tanned but 100 artillerymen in this
region who are the crack shots of his
forces, but this small group of artil-
lerymen have raised much havoc with
the invaders.
Concentration at Moro Nueva.
Here the Spanish fleet attempted
to land 5000 soldiers at Wad Lau
Tgizas and Sidi Daiss, after unsuc-
cessful attempts of landing. The
Rifians concentrated their best in
fantny forces here, dug themselves in
and battled with the invaders. In
spite of four days heavy fighting, the
Spaniards have been unable to drive
the Ritfians back any further than
300 yards from the shore. Heavy
losses of life have been inflicted on
the Spanish invaders.
