MOIIlNG AHEAD

Somebody has said that figures don't lie and
that somebody correct.
In the address given before a local service club
Tuesday, by a member of the county assessors staff
il pointed out that since 1911 the number of auto
mobiles in Imperial county has increased from
hundred TO eleven thousand Personal property val
uation has increased from $859,OO0 to 00O The
county valuation has increased from $ll000,000 to
$4,000 900.
These are figures taken from the official records
Of the county and have not been padded in any way
Father they arc minimum instead of maximum figures
figures.
If such increases can be recorded during period
when pioneering still in progress, what may we not
expect from the future when many of the handicapS
that previously existed, have passed into history.
These figures are concrete evidence that Imperial
Valley il progressing and that it will progress in the
future than in the past.
The man or woman who cannot see this is indeed
short-sighted We entering our greatest period
of growth and he is wise who will take advantage of
that fact right now.
Just when we believed the Chinese had settled
all their troubles learn that they arc no nearer
peace than is Chicago.

Chicago might import MusSolin to find out how

Shafer Backs Yard
And Garden Contest

The yard and garden contest. spon-
sored by the Bismarck garden club,
Ii entitled to the enthusiastic support
Of al home makers In the city, Gov
ernor George Shafer said today.
Bismarck has the reputation Of be-
ing the cleanest and most attractive
little city In the Northwest. without
factories, railroad roundhouses,
crowded dingy streets. or other condi-
tions which usually detract from the
beauty Of industrial cities, and locat-
ed on high ground. gently sloping to
the southwark, overlooking the Mis-
souri,. Bismarck can be easily the cen.
ter Of great civic beauty.
The cultivation Of the spare
grounds. otherwise likely to remain
unsightly. through garden contests
and the proper care Of al residence
yards would do much to improve the
general attractiveness Of the city.
As the capital Of North Dakota,
visited annually BY many thousands
Of people from both within and with
out the state, it Is highly desirable
that Bismarck residents should show
. keen interest in this form Of civic
DEVELOPMENT.

3 months IN JAIL,
HIGH court SAYS

tions Is Pardon Now
washington, April 22.-R- Th,

washington, April az. @- The
supreme court ruled today that Harry
r. Sinclair, unless pardoned. must
serve three months In Jail for refusal
to answer questions before the senate
Teapot Dome committee.
Sinclair had appealed from . re-
cent decision Of the court which up
held the sentence Of the three months
In jail imposed upon him but the
highest court today refused to recon-
slider that opinion.
sinclair's sentence calls for him to
serve the sentence In q common
JAIL" Il has been expected he would
be committed to the District Of Col
umbia Jail here. although there has
been some speculation as to whether
he might be sent to the workhouse at
Occoquan, Va, Q few miles from
Washington.
The appeal from the courts ruling
was made last week and was acted
upon with dispatch. Sinclair's law
|yers held that the law under which
he Was convicted and sentenced was
unconstitutional.
He still has facing him . sentence
(of six months imprisonment for con-
tempt Of the supreme court Of the
District Of Columbia. This resulted
from the jury shadowing In the cases
against Sinclair and Albert B. Fall
growing out Of the Teapot Dome
leases
There has been no indication - to
when Sinclair will be taken In Gus
tody to begin his sentence, the time
allotted BY the court having not yet
expired.

Washington. April 22.-(F-A farm
relief bill including the export de-
benture plan, to which President Hoo
yer is opposed. was sent to the senate
today by It's agricultural committee.
and Chairman McNary announced
that debate would begin tomorrow.
In spite Of the emphatically stated
opposition OF the president. the COM
mittee declined by q vote of 8 to 6 to
reverse Its previous decision to In
clude the debenture plan in its
farm measure. Chairman McNary an
nounced In the senate that formal
report on the bill would be ready to-
morrow and that he would ask for
immediate discussion.
While the fight on the debcnture
plan was being placed squarely before
the senate. the house worked on It's
farm bill. which does not include all
the debenture plan. The leaders there
agreed shortly after the house con-
vened at noon to extend the time for
general debate through Tuesday. It
had been hoped that debate would
have been concluded before adjourn
ment tonight.
Opponents Lack Strength
At the senate agricultural commit
tee meeting the letter Of Mr.. Hoover
giving reasons why he could not sup
port the debenturc plan, which he
declared would prove disastrous to
the farmer, was read by Chairman
McNary. It caused some members to
vote against the plan, but opponents
Of the debenturc plan could not mus
ter sufficient strength to eliminate
the proposal as desired by the presi-
dent.
At the house side of the capitol
Representative Jones, Democrat, Tex
as, q friend Of the dcbenturc proposal
and outspoken In his opposition to the
farm bill pending before that body.
issued a statement describing the
presidents letter as the most amaz-
ing communication to which he has
ever given utterance." Every objection
raised by the president to the deben-
turc plan, he said. applies with equal
force to any tariff system" and added
that the tariff system was deemed a
practical matter.
In the senate, action was deferred
for the day on the Nye resolution
proposing to bind the senate to con-
sideration on farm relief legislation
exclusively until disposed Of. Senator
Nye. Republican, North Dakota
agreed to postponcment, but the
measure may be called up at any
time.

dent Hoover stood today definitely

tion to the export debenturc plan OF
