HANCOCK SAYS
BANKS LETTER
TO help VALLEY

W. L. Hancock, local real estate
dealer, has sent tie following com
munication to the Press, relative to
the recently polished Federal
Land Bank Letter.
FL Centre, Calf, Mar. %, 1880.
Editor of Imperial Valley Press,
FL Centre, Calf.
Dear Sir:
In your editorial "Thc Old
Boogic Man. of March %, refer
ence to the famous letter from the
Federal Lana Bank you hit the spot
several times.
We are better off without the one
who will run from such letter.
What if the pioneers had accepted
as true the reports made by federal
experts in 1901 and 1902 chasing
as unfit for cultivation thousands of
acres of Imperial Valleys best
land
have lately made two land sales
involving Federal Land Bank loans.
| have had occasion to inspect sew
cral other ranches during the last
two wears that were covered by
federal loans. | do not hesitate to
say frankly that only few of these
ranches are first-class. On one
that handled the b9nk took a loss
would be ashamed to ask a client
to pay what the bank has in an
other; they will lose on it. They
would be forced to take over many
others were it not that the terms
are so generous.
Even with the class of loans made
equally good Or better standing
our Imperial Valley average is in
than that of any other section ae-
cording to "A statement made by n
representative of the Federal Land
Bank, here on business about Sc
days ago.
You are right Imperial Valley
will continue to do business at the
old stand and | predict that federal
loans viii be made here before many
years.
AS to the letter being a dragon or
a cure all ii is neither but ] think
its being read by thousands of our
citizens will bc a benefit Think
Of the thousands of inches of pub
licity we have had all over the
United States (what kind rotten,
exaggerated, misleading.
The letter gotten up so systemat-
ically and from, such an exalted
source, will cause every one who
reads it to think and realize how
the other fellow sees us. It is good
for MS TO know just what the out
slider thinks of us; how we are pit
tied and sympathized with for being
forced by circumstances to waste
our lives in a he'll hole climate where
none but McXicans and negroes
should live and which is doomed
TO return TO the desert from which
it came. Such ideas have been cx-
pressed, am sorry to say, not only
by outsiders but by local citizens
who should know better. lf such
is their opinion they should resign
and leave at once.
Again | say it is good to know
what the other fellow thinks of us.
1t will help to join us in united
effort to advertise in "A concerted
way to let the outside world know
what we think of ourselves; what
we have done; what we are doing
and what we have to offer them if
they care to east their lot with us
in the development Of one of the
few places on earth where God made
available an abundance of water,
sunshine and good soil, the requi-
sites Of prosperity, health, home and
happiness.
Yours truly,

ZURCHER-GIRARD TICKET
ENDORSED

In two weeks voters of El Centre will
go to the polls for the purpose of choos-
Ing two members of the city council
Four representative citizens of this
city have announced their candidates..
and the preliminary work of a political
campaign has been going on for some
time past.
In line with newspapers duty to the
community which it serves, and of which
it is part. the Press is vitally interested
in the election.
AS is the case with all political cam
paigns, there are bound to be differences
of opinion, and the people, exercising
their right of citizenship, will support
the candidates of their choice through the
campaign and at the polls. These diff
ferences of opinion are what make po-
litical campaign necessary. They are
good for community so long as they re-
main within the bounds of fairness and
respect for the viewpoints of the contest
ing sides.
The differences will undoubtedly be
enlarged and distorted by argument dur
ing the next two weeks, and the people,
who after all must make the decision,
might be confused except that in this
election the only clear cut issue is easily
defined as set forth in the opening para
graph of this article-the election of two
members of the city council.
The Press has made its choice of can
didates and its choice has been guided
solely by what it believes to be for the
best interests of Ell Centre.
No other motive but that has deter
mined this publication to support the
candidates. of John r. Zurcher and
Emery Girard.
The Press has no quarrel with anyone,
las no fault to find with any individual,
and has only the highest respect and per-
sonal friendliness toward the other two
candidates, Councilman H. w. Fawcett,
who seeks reelection, and John T. Rice,
former member of the council, who wish
es again to serve the city. When this
campaign is over, the Press wishes moth
ing more, regardless of the result, than
still to retain among its friends, Herb
Fawcett and John Rice.
For some reason, the side issue of re-
tanning the present chief of police and the
present city engineer, has entered into
this campaign. In fact some would make
this, instead of the election of two coun-
cilmen, the paramount issue.
The claim has been advanced that the
election of Zurcher and Girard means
that Chief Osralt and Engineer Knights
are to be ousted. the attempt to make
this an issue is clearly shown in the po-
litical advertising of Rice, who states
that one motive inducing him to enter the
campaign is to see that the present chief
and engineer are retained in office.
Neither Zurcher nor Girard has ever
SAID that his election to the city council
means the arbitrary dismissal of the two
city employees or of any others. They
are entering this campaign with no such
thought in mind and with no promise of
that kind made to anyone We have that
statement on the word of the gentlemen
themselves, and men do not attain the

Nonetheless tn ~.-..-y appointment is o
shock to all whose idea Of government is
an institution to provide the greatest good
for the greater number.
The Grundy school of thought is anything
but that. 1t is selfish. not altruistic. No
matter how often reference is made to the
model foctory Of the Bristol textile manu-
facturer or his personal bene factions. the
fact stands forth wildly that Mr. Grundy
believes thoroughly in the righteousness Of
collecting campaign contributions from his
fellows and then expecting the govern
ment. which is for all the people, to repay
those contributions many times in the form
Of special privileges.
And that is selishness It is not aItruism
1t is putting the dollar above everything
1t is disreeardine the rights Of the citizen
who makes no political campaign contri-
button. 1t is making property rights supe-
rior to human rights.
Down In their own hearts the disciples
of Grundyism know this is true. Some of
them admit it. When their better selves
are In control, they realize that if Grundyism
were carried to lite logical conclusion gov
eminent could not survive for life is some
thing more than dollars.
No nation any more than man can live
by bread alone. No society can exist that
ignores the rights and interests of all its
members. A people cannot be happy and
contented under government which sells
Its favors over the counter and only to
those with the price. A government for
sale will soon be Harrisburg Patriot

There have been some expressions of
horror and indignation over this rhetorical
