Work of Department Il
Given Here.

Declaring that Imperial Valley
power question must oe sei:ied i'm
mediately, if the best interests Of
the valley are to be served, j. J.
Deuel., manager Of the law and
utilities department Of the Califor-
MIA Farm Bureau Federation, de
livcrcd an interesting talk on the
subject being 80 widely discussed
here, at n dinner in the Oregon
hotel last night.
Over 60 representative valley
residents, including business and
professional men as well as ranch
crs, were present and listened at
tcntivcly to Deuel's talk.
The speaker prefacod his remarks
On the local power question by
giving an exhaustive and detailed
explanation of the work of the
farm bureau in general and Gf his
department in particular He point
ed ont that his department is not
subject to continual dictation or
instructions from the board Cf di-
rectors, as to what it shall or shall
not do.
'''Ihe directors, Deuel. said,
"mect once year to hear reports
from the heads of various depart
meuts, to inspect budgets for the
ensuing year, and to pass on the
work that has been Gone, as well
as outliuing tentative programs.
The heads Of the various depart
mcnts are vested with authority to
act ON matters as they are pre-
sertcd to them, without having to
submit each individual mater to
he board Of directors for approval
before acting.
''The solo object OF my office
and the federation is to protect the
farmer and al rural development, =
Deuc! declared. We are concerned
with nothing else, and we tey at
all times 10 act fairly and impair
tally. That we have succeeded in
doing so is evident from the high
ly complimentary tributes ped US
by the railroad commission and
other state agencies.
Deuel. read numerous c.:5erpts
from official reports of the railroad
commission bearing out his state
mem.
Aids In Rate Fights
Referring to his department s in
tercst in public utility matters, he
cited that in 1923 the department
was called upon to aid in obtaining
2 decrease in rates from various
northern electric companies. Since
that time, on request of members of
the federation. it has given its aid
in obtaining lower rates and i'm
proved service all over the state.
owe try. as much as possible,
Deuel. said, Ito settle all such mat
tcrS by conference rather than by
formal action by the railroad conn.,
mission, and have been uniformly
successful -
In Imperial Valley, the depart
mcnt was asked over five years ago
to assist in obtaining Il lower elec-
trical rate here. An impartial sur
vey by the department 5 engineer
showed that better service was
equally, if not more essential than
lower rates. Through the activities
of the department the service was
improved to such IN extent that
where there were l2l interruptions
with a loss of l52la hours in 1928,
in 1928 there were only 2S inter
ruptions with total loss of but
three hours.
cit is not the business of the de-
partmont, nor do we try to make it
so, to tell what to do, the speaker
said. "It is our business to fur
