LEMONS HAS MADE GOOD

Writing an editorial urging voters of Imperial
Valley to support 8. E. Lemons for coroner, is rather
difficult task. especially for whose work has
been close connected with the during
the latter'S term of office.
The difficulty arises from the fact that we know
so many good things about Bert Lemons. that Just
where to start III telling them is rather puzzling.
AS fathfuness to public duty is commendabIe
quality in any public official it might be we'll
in on this quality which the has demonstrated
he possesses in a very high degree.
In nearly three years of service with him as a
newspaper representative the writer has had occasion
to accompany hlm at all hours of the day and night
to all parts Of the county and all of
where the service of the coroner were required
No matter what the hour was, or what remote spot
the call from, how diSagreeable the task might
be, Coroner Lemons has responded promptly perform
ed his work promptly and efficiently and has
1t that the requirements of the law carried
His Willingness to cooperate with the sheriff and
the district attorney in cases. cases reQur
ing inquest, has been highly commended by those
officials, and he has aided them materially in obtain
ing and preserving evidence in criminal which
was afterWard used in criminal trials.
He has conducted the affairs of the office eco
nomically. Not all cases coming to the attention of
the coroner require autopsy. Where such proceed
ure was necessary the coroner has called in compe
tent physicians perform the operation The records
will show however that only minority of
handled by the coroner required autopsies, which
means esSenng of expense 20 the taxpayer.
Operating a completely equipped undertaking bus
mess, places Coroner Lemons IN position the
taxpayers efficiently and economically. He has plac-
ed his funeral parlors at the disposal of the county
officials for holding nquests time and again without
any charge
has made wide circle of friends in Imperial Valley,
who respect him conscientious, straight forward,
honest, public official, living up his oath Of office
and serving the taxpayers to the best of his ability
Nothing more be asked of any public servant
and as Bert Lemons has proved his ability in three
years OF service to the county the voters of this
ty should show their confidence in him by electing him
to the office which he holds through virtue of his
appointment by TIE board Of supervisors.

BELGIEW'.S PLAN

Without much ado King Albert of Belgium ap-
piled himself to his task of financial dictator with
such promptneSs that apparently sound plan is al
ready in view. It involves turning stae-owned rail
way lines over to private company which has agreed
to exchange stock in that enterprise for short-term
government obligations which must be retired as an
incident to deflation and currency reform Thus
former government obligation becomes private corp
oration's obligation. Its property and equipment
is collateral but the interest on the railroad secur
tiles is guaranteed by the public treasury
This looks to the early retirement of the floating
debt and return to the gold standard by January l.
