THESE HERE PIONEERS"

The Imperial Valley Pioneers formed to perpetu-
ate the memory of the days when Imperial Valley was
struggling from desert to prosperous community,
got off to fine start last week. when over 100 of
those who have played their parts in developing this
community signed the Great Register of the organ-
prior to 1910.
One purpose of the organization is to prepare
written data those who came here in the davs
the pioneers themselves to furnish the information
Each member is supplied with binder in which to
recount the date of his arrival here, where he settled
where he came from and why he happened to come
mere In this way it is hoped to have faithful ac-
count of the valleys early history for future genera
tons.
Need for such an organization is indsputabe and
no better argument is needed than the discussion that
took place Saturday relative to the date of that his

fore dispute was natural to whether it showed the
month Little B' was born, or the same year
that Joe Soandso got kicked by horse. The written
accounts of the early days may not coincide to the

One kick we have with the pioneers We We're told
that the organization wished to limit membership to
those who here during the first decade of the val

here prior to 1910 the organization wished ito

first decade of the century,"
With the rashness of a mere tenderfoot, we wish
to point out that the first decade of the twentieth CEN

to the valley during 1910 should be eligible for men,

CAMPAIGN EXPENSES

If money talks, it is supposed to do, Senator
Charlie Curtis of Kansas is apparently making much
stronger campaign for the presidency than many have
heretofore suspected.
Testfying before the senate committee appointed
to inquire into the expenditures of presidential candi
dates, Senator Curtis said he has thus far spent S1
4S6.67 in behalf of his campaign.
This almost $4,000 in excess of his nearest
competitor AS this is written Mr. Hoover or Mr.
. Lowden had not appeared before the committee Per-
! haps their expenditures will make the Kansas sena-
tors look like chicken feed but for the moment he is
"high man."
Senator Norris, considered by many being
strong dark horse" does not appear to be making
much headway, based on money value. He admits
having spent $6 thus far, and informed the commit
tee that it paid to Nebraska editor 'for
unauthorized advertisement" Heaven praise the edi
tori
Without doubt all candidates are going to walk
"softly and carefully" as far campaign expendi-
lures concerned 1t would be something of good
joke, however, if the willy Kansas senator, who is
proud of the Indian blood that IS his has been sowing
seed that will develop crop at Kansas City.

KELLOGG ASKS
BAN ON WAR

"All war is an assault upon the
stability Of human society and should
be suppressed in the common In
terest.''
Diplomatic circles heres were
stirred today by this declaration or
Secretary kellogg in his reply to
the last French note on the Brlano
proposal for a treaty to outlaw war.
Nothing definite is expected TO
come of the present effort between
France and the United States, for
the Kellogg proposal disregards the
cardinal point of French policy
security-and is certain to be an
swered either by rejection or vitiat-
ing qualifications.
Rejects French Plan
Again rejecting the French at
tempt to limit the force of the pro-
posed treaty to wars Of aggression,
Kellogg challenged the good faith OF
Minister BRAND and renewed
the United States demand for
multilateral treaty between all world
powers forever renOuncing war as
an instrument OF national policy.
This was the scope of the original
BRAND, proposal Of last June, IN
tended to be effective only between
the United states and France. On
January 8. kellogg proposed extern
sion of the principle to all world
powers. France objected that the
treaty would encroach
upon her obligations as member
of the League of Nations, and mod
flied the original proposal to apply
only to wars of aggression.
How, kellogg asks, in effect, do
the league obligations permit
two.power treaty to this effect and
yet initiate against q six-poWer
pact?
Difference OF Degree
''The difference" kellogg declares
seems to me to be one
of degree and not of substance. A
free to conclude such
bilateral treaty should be no less
able to become party to an
identical multiIateral treaty"
Recalling that the renuciation OF
war framed by the recent Pan
American conference at Havana
was accepted by seventeen members
OF the League OF Nations, Kellogg
incorporates the suggestion OF an
ultimatum in his statement of the
leagues relation to the negotiations.
"If, however. members of the
League of Nations cannot, without
violating the terms of the covenant
OF the league, agree among them
selves and with the United States
to renounce war as an instrument
of their national policy. it seems
idle to discuse either bilateral or
multilateraI treaties unreservedly
renouncing war;
