Good Surplus

WASHINGTON, June 81. W.H -
A treasury surplus of approximately
$40, 100000 at the close of this fis-
cal year, June 80, 1929, was predict
ed today by Secretary Mellon.
Mellon said the treasury expects
to have this amount available in
excess of expenditures even after
the $45, 100000 payment to rail
roads, necessitated by the inter
state commerce commission IS de-
cision granting railroads that
amount in back railway mail pay.
Treasury statisticians have esti'
mated recently that the surplus may
be as high as $200,O00,0o0. Presi-
dent Hoover recently said the bud
get bureau advised him there will
be government surplus of more
than $l00,000,000.
The surplus, which has resulted
despite predictions some months
ago of deficit, is attributed by
the treasury to increased income
tax payments caused by profits OBJ
tanned by individuals from stock
market operations.

IMMIGRATION OF
MEXICAN LABOR
ON HUGE SCALE

SAN FRANCISCO, June q. ~ liS 2;
Mexican immigration into the
United States was characterized here
today as the "greatest racial move
ment in history"
Speaking before the immigration
section of the Social Workers Con-
ference, Robert N. Mclean, associate
director of the Presbyterian Board Of
National Missions declared that ap-
proximately one-fifth of the Spanish
speaking Mexicans live under the
stars and stripes.
"There exists widespread ignor-
ance as to the number of Mexican
workers in the United States,' he
said. "We talk of our. capitalistic
penetration of Mexico; it is nothing
compared to Mexico's labor penetra-
tion of the United States.'
"We may be sure that the 2,000,-
600 Mexicans now living in this
country are permanent incre-
ment," he said. of they return it
will be the first time in all history
that any great racial movement ever
turned upon ITSELF
"Mexicans are with us but not OF
us,' Mclean said. "Only l12 Mex
leans in the whole country took out
citizenship papers last year. From
33 to go per cent of all relief bud
gets in certain cities like Los An
geles go toward Mexican relief.
"The blood of the Aztec and the
Spaniard flows in the Mexican and
he has a real cultural contribution to
make to American life. This contri-
button will be available only when
the barriers of Misunderstanding and
racial prejudice shall have been
broken down.

CLUB To DRAW
PETITION FOR
POWER PROJECT

A petition requesting that Impe-
rial Irrigation District order a $2,-
100000 bond election will be drawn
up and approved at the meeting of
the American Conservation club here
Monday night, John o. Gresham,
president of the organization stated
today.
The bond election desired by the
Conservation club is for the purpose
of raising funds to build a power
system controlled by the Irrigation
board. The proposed power project
has aroused considerable opposition
as well as support since first brought
before the public and as a result the
petition Monday night will be the
first definite move by The proponents
of the movement to start the ball
rolling.
The state bonding commission has
approved the bond issue providing
the citizens of the valley vote on
same favorably.
The Conservation club expects one
of the largest turnouts of its mem
bers Monday night, and according to
Gresham much that has been left un-
done in the past will in all probable
ity be accomplished at this meeting.
Whether or not DIR. Elwood Mead,
chief of the U. s. reclamation SER
vice will be able to attend the meet
ing, is matter Of conjecture. 1t
is understood that officers of the
club would like to have him make
an address if his schedule permits
him to stay over here after speaking
at the proposed mass meeting Satur-
day night in the city park.

BELIEVE HOOVER
FAV0RS INCREASE
in SUGAR RATE
Refinery Head Declares
President Undecided AS
To Amount.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspondent


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June 27.U.D -
Belief that President Hoover favors
an increase on the sugar tariff was
expressed by Stephen Love, presi-
dent of the United States Beet Sug-
ar Association, at the Senate Fin
ance Committee sugar hearing to-
day.
Love, referring to conversations
with the President, said he was
satisfied that he (Mr. Hoover)
favored an increase" but did not
know what rate the President might
favor. The opinion was expressed
after Senator Connally, Democrat,
Texas, had interrupted the reading
by Love of former President Cool
idge's views Of the sugar tariff.
'We want 20 know what Presi-
dent Hoover thinks about the tar
iff," Connally said.
Love said the Cuban government
and Wall street interests having
large holdings in Cuba, were the
source of most Of the anti-sugar
tariff propaganda.
"No amount of Cuban propagan-
da," Love said, "can convince
American farmers that they, Aneri-
can citizens, have less right to ex-
pect fair and just treatment in
tariff matters before congress than
residents and investors in Cuba.''
The beet and cane sugar industry
of this country is in a "serious,
critical condition" as the result of
the dumping Of foreign sugar onto
the American market, Love testi-
fled. He asserted that Cuba is
"producing too much sugar for her
own good"
The witness testified that en-.
couragement of the domestic sugar
industry would aid in solving the
farm problem by diversifying agri-
culture. The production Of beet,
cane and corn sugar can be greatly
expanded and substituted for the
production Of certain surplus crops.
Increase Attached
The proposal to increase the world
duty on sugar from 2.21 cents to
three cents a pound was attacked
by G.. R. Parker, Of the American
Exporters and Importers Associa-
tion, New York, who asked the pre-
sent duty on sugar be continued.
Senator Harrison, Democrat,
Mississippi, read the financial state
ment Of the Great Western Sugar
Company, a domestic sugar corpora
ton. A profit Of more than $780,
100000 has been realized by that
company ON $15,000,000 invest
ment in 1905, he said.
"Don't they need protections"
he asked sarcastically.
Several witnesses representing big
Texas growers asked the committee
to increase the duty on figs to sew
en- cents a pound on fresh figs and
IA cents pound on preserved figs
to meet foreign competition which
they declared will destroy the dQmes-
tic industry unless protection is
granted:

CHAMBER HEARS
EXCELLENT TALK
ON MELON DEAL
Directors Plan To Ask
Supervisors To Change
CalexicO Highway.

q. Il. Moore, formerly of Calexico
and now secretary of the Western
Growers Protective Association gave
an interesting and instructive talk
at the meeting, yesterday, Of the
Ell Centre Chamber of Commerce.
The association which Moore repre-
sents is made up of California and
Arizona shippers and growers of
fresh vegetables and fruits, and in
cludes 80 per cent of such growers
and shippers. Last year the associa-
tion members shipped 125,OOO car
loads of produce, and handled all
problems pertinent to the industry as
a whole.
Moore stated that with 10000 acres
of melons in Imperial Valley this
year and backward spring, it
looked, lew weeks ago, as though
the melon crop would be an entire
loss and a meeting was called Of all
growers and shippers and commit
tee of eight men appointed to meet
with Moore and try to pm some
method of saving the crop. w. s.
Il
were to act, with Moore, as a clear
ing house association to handle ship
ments. Approximately 81 per cent
of the entire valley signed up, ac
cording to Moore, and on June 16
shipments were pro.rated to 400 cars
a day.
The psychological effect of this
pro-rating. said the speaker, stabil-
lied the eastern market; the weather
cooled, and there has been a steady
market for Imperial Valley melons
throughout the east. The speaker
said, at was very gratifying to me
TO see that the days of sectional
fighting in the valley are over and
cooperation is the outstanding move
ment in this community. This sta
bilizing of the market was the big
gest thing ever accomplished by CO.
operative shippers in the west.
Much credit is due to b. A. Harri-
gan 's office which made inspection
perfect and 25 per cent better melons
were shipped this year than in previ.
Gus years and the call for Imperial
Valley melons on the eastern markets
was the direct result Of this work. +"
Moore stated that next fall his as
sociation is backing a consumers ad-
vertising campaign on head lettuce,
which will appear in the leading
magazines and will be of great help
to the valley lettuce crop.
w. S. Faweett told the effect of
pro-rating the ears shipped and stat
ed that by this means only choice
melons were shipped. He said, owe
are 100 per cent for Moore and l
do not think any other man in
Southern California could have
brought the shippers and growers to-
gether as he has,
Would Abolish Curves
Judge l. Mayfield, member of the
safety committee of the California
Development association, stated that
his committee has given what
thought and publicity was possible
to methods of avoiding accidents.
"But,' he said, "after all, the mat
ter of avoiding accidents is per-
sonal responsibility of every man

KEY WITNESS IN
kEyES CASE HELD
ON BRIBE COUNT
Pike Asserts He Is Victim
of 'Frame-Up' For Testi-
mOny He Gave.

LOS ANGELES, June 81. W.H =
Milton Pike, the owner Of the little
brown diary which helped to convict
Former District Attorney Asa Keyes
and others on conspiracy to bribe
charges, was held today under $15,-
600 bond on a complaint accusing
him of accepting money to change
court testimony.
He was arrested late yesterday as
he walked from a downtown hotel
room where he just had conferred
with Harold "Buddy" Davis, for
mer chief trial deputy for Keyes.
Davis, himself, must go to trial next
Monday on counts similar to those
against Keyes.
When he was taken into custody
Pike had in his possession 1920 in
marked bills, assertedly given him by
Davis to influence Pike 3 testimony
against Davis.
The arrest was inspired and plan
ned by Davis.
Davis, accused Of taking bribes
to influence his prosecution Of the
Julian Petroleum Corporation col
lapse trial, claimed that he was ap-
preached, through a friend, by Pike.
The former chief deputy said he
arranged to have Pike meet him in
a room in a downtown hotel. In the
next room and listening to the con
versation, were Davis attorneys, a
private detective and court report
er.
Davis said he gave Pike the $500
after Pike promised to go over his
testimony ad change it at the trial
Monday so that it would not damage
Davis. Pike was to receive a total
of $1,000. AS soon as Pike left the
room, Davis called the Officers and
had Pike arrested.
Pike was taken at once before
Municipal Judge Ambrose where his
bail was fixed and his arraignment
set for July 3.
Charges Frame Up''
Davis avoided any contact with
the district attorneys office in
managing the arrest of Pike.
District Attorney Buron Fits, who
will direct the states case against
Davis, said that his investigators
would go into the matter of Pike 9
arrest thoroughly.
eff it develops that Davis and
others are seeking to harrass state
witnesses, appropriate action will be
taken,' he said. "At the same time
if it is found that Pike is guilty as
charged this office win prosecute
him to the utmost.'
Pike said the entire thing was
"gigantic frame-up to get me for
my part in prosecuting Asa Keyes.
Asked how he came to be in pos
session of the money Pike said: II
know who put it in my pocket, all
right"
The prisoner seemed not at all dis
turbed by his arrest.
Pike was one Of the two star
states witnesses against Keyes. he
worked in the tailor shop OF Ben
Getzoff, convicted with Keyes, and
kept diary purporting to tell OF
the meetings between Keyes, Getz-
off, Ed Rosenberg, Buddy Davis and
others concerning the fixing OF the
Julian case.
He testified that he had heard con-
versation relative to the Julian case
in which Keyes and other members
of his staff agreed to "let up" on
the prosecution. He was expected to
testify similarly against Davis.
