FINISH THE IOR

When it is inclined the United States Senate
can act with prompness though such action is usually
the execution rather than the rule. Passage of the
Jcnes bill providing for flood control set new rec
ing the measure after discussion lasting only one hour
and a half
Not even the United States senate could question
the necessity of the flood control The
rble Mississippi river flood of last year is too recent
placid slave of the people most of the time, the Mis-
sSsipp has habit Of turning the tables and destroy
ing its captOrs. In short time it can eliminate much
Of the work which il has been compelled to do over
long period.
The Senate is to be congratulated upon it's action
and every effort should be made to hasten the work
that will make the Mississippi behave for all time to
come. Not even such a prosperous nation we
can afford to have wild river on its hands.
Now that the senate has agreed to subdue the Mis-
sssppi. it may well turn its attention to that other in
cerrigibe-the Colorado. Though it does not, in its
Wild moments, threaten destruction to many per-
sons or as much property the Mississippi overaweS
lttOo can lnlct loss that is sufficient to be felt by
thousands OF American citizens. We of Imperial Val
ley know that from the bitter past and statement
by any politician can wipe out the memories of 90506
when the river wild of 1924, when it refused
tc run at al.
Not only is the Colorado threatening force it is
ldllng on The Job Its enormous energy is going to
waste year after year, for want of appropriation
Of pcayune value, in proportion to the benefits it will
endow.
There a means to place bride on the Colorado
when It is running wild and to harness it that it
will W ork under control at all times. That means is
the SWlng-J ohnsOn BILL before the Congress of
the United States for action. 1t is equally import
ant to the country controlling the Mississippi Con-
gested conditions in the east make it imperative that
the nation in the past, must still look to the west
for its expansion The West cannot relieve the East
until It in turn has been relieved from the Colorado
menace
act as promptly the Colorado has on the Mis-
SiSSlppl

In all probability many local citizens will overlook
the fact that tomorrow is election day in the El Cenr
school district
The present incumbent the school board ". A.
Tendro, has given much of his time during the past
three years to school matters and has filled the duties
for which he elected, faithfully and to the best in
tarests of the taxpayer.
In the main, the American voter is always willing
to return to office public servant who has given good
service The difficulty is that many of overlook the
need of casting votes in order do this busi-
who successful in his line, and is will
ing to devote his time and energy to such important
branch of community life public schools is de-
serving the support Of those who pay the bills - the
taxpayers.
Mr. Tondro's service has not been given without
personal sacrifice, and that he is willing to continue
this sacrifice is proof of citizenship and community in
terest Of the highest degree
There is no contest the high school board John
Stewart Ross and Charles E. Sones being candidates
fer reelection.
School elections are as important municipal
naiona elections possibly for they bear closer
relation to the individual voter. The Press urges
cry citizen at least every parent, to show sufficient
interest in our schools by voting tomorrow.

The charge made by employee of the city of

his position because he knew too much about the St.
Francis dam disaster, is a serious one.
1t will not do to pass off the statement the
piqUe of who talked too much about the disas-
ter-a very common human failing nor is it just to
condemn the mans superiOrs. The matter should be
given thorough hearing with both sides offered
opportunity TO state their cases.
If his statement is true there IS to believe
that possibly something known about the ST. Fran
els dam which those in authority do not wish to have
reycaed If his statement is not true, the Los Angeles
officials should be set in the clear
Hiding facts in connection with the disaster is not
geng to remedy matters. 1t will not bring back the
dead repair the damage. Neither will making false
charges accomplish anything.
The people of California are entitled TO know the
plain facts and every opportunity should be given to
all who may be able to shed any light upon them,
matter whose toes may be stepped upon in the pro-
cedure.
