1T IS high time that a remedy

Common decency and defense of
California homes demand that this

The Los Angeles Examiner urges
that Tijuana be eradicated. 1t is
the meeting place and hideout of
thieves, gamblers, racetrack touts,
dope gangsters and violators of wo-
men.
In it collect the scum of this
country, who cooperate in villainy
with the worst classes of Mexicans.
The place is a menace to America
and disgrace to MeXico.'
The Peteet case is :not excep-
tional, save in the tragedy accord
ing to the Los Angeles Times. 1.-THE
dens of Tijuana are notorious and
from them seep tales of crime and
outrage revolving alike to good
Americans and to good Mexicans. -
The Times blames Americans, "to
degree at least, for Tijuana con
ditlons. The principal patrons of
Tijuana 8 bars, dance halls, gamb-
ling hells and dives are Americans.
1t Is American money which keeps
Tijuana alive as a plague spot ON
the border. To a degree at least, it
is the demand of Americans for
pleasure with the lid off which is
responsible for those conditions. -

declared it is an excellent step to-

Chester b. Moore. cashier of the
First National Bank of Caleyico,
echoed the sentiment expressed by
Inspector Wixon. He added that he
regretted the story sent out from
Brawley declaring that IS per cent
of the MeXicans would be deported
as it would undoubtedly be believed
in other parts of the state and
might seriously hamper the work
which the Associated Labor BureaV
seeks to perform, as many MeXican5
might believe the registration Off

"There is no drive for or against

we believe that in the Associated

Declaring that owners of new
broadcasting stations should develop
the great short-wave field, doing
their own prospecting of the ether.
and stating emphatically that pioneer
broadcasters should be protected
against piracy. Powell Crosley, Jr.,
prominent radio manufacturer and
owner of broadcasting station w. l..
W., in Cincinnati. said in a recent
interview:
"The egg that fell from the wall
in the oft-quoted Mother Goose
rhyme, Humpty Dumpty, presented
no more serious Job of unscramblin3
than the broadcasting stations that
are all mixed up now in the bank of
wave lengths between 200 and 600
meters. Some 600 broadcasting
stations are now overlapping or on
top Of one another, wrestling and
struggling for a place free from in
reference in a band that can only
accommodate eighty eight broad
casting stations.
"Of course the most serious prob
lem Is legislation through which
there will be established some au-
thority to control the wave length
assignment of these stations and to
police the air in such q way that its
use will be most beneficial to the
public. Congress will, no doubt.
frown. upon any idea that will give
special rights to any individual
broadcasters over and above any
other broadcasters. The courts, how
ever, will, no doubt. regard the mat
ter differently. as they should. Prop
erty rights will most certainly be
recognized by the courts. The rights
of priority of pioneer broadcasters
will most certainly be recognized by
the courts just as the rights of the
prospector and inventor have always
been respected under the common
law. It should be obvious to any
one that the pioneers In broadcast
ing who invested their money to de-
velop this wonderful thing known
as broadcasting should have some
very definite rights to the wave
lengths that they have pioneered
and made valuable. Now that the
established. 1t seems unfair that any
one else should come along and de-
stroy the value OF the investment of
the pioneer broadcasters through
causing interference.
1.-THE question then arises, what
shall be done with the new broad
casters? Shall they be denied the
right to use the air? While it seems
logical that they should be deprived
of the right to interfere. a way
should be devised " hereby they can
broadcast even though 1t Is neces
sary to put them in the position of
the pioneer broadcasters when they
started. THE present band occupied
by broadeasting stations was set ar
bitrarily as being the most suited
for the purpose several years ago. II
was believed at that time that the
present eighty eight channels would
be adeqr- -. for no one anticipated
