LET'S HAVE TREES

1t is with pleasure we note that the
Junior Chamber of Commerce is plan
ming tree planting campaign in this city
within the next few months.
Ell Centro needs trees and plenty of
them. Nature has not provided us with
many trees and it is up to citizens to
remedy this condition.
During a recent trip across the country
we noted that the towns through which
we passed and which we enjoyed most
were the ones with plenty of trees, lawns
about the homes, and with plenty of
flowers and Shrubbery.
Mursfreesboro. Tennessee, is one of the
most beautiful cities in the United States.
1t is made beautiful chiefly by the splen-
did trees which adorn its streets even in
the business section and apparently the
presence of trees there has not injured
business in the least.
There is no reason why Ell Centro can
not be beautiful. Unfortunately the busi-
ness section must go treelesS. But there
is no such excuse in the residential por-
tions of the city.
If the Junior chamber goes about its
campaign properly, it can have the sup
port of all the people in the city. The
latter really want trees, but seem to want
to Let George do it.
Systematic and uniform tree planting
throughout the city will enable us even
tually to rank with Murfreesboro or any
other city in the country.

TOO MANY RATS

Two deaths in less than week, and
fake fight, show the need of more strin-
gent rules by the state athletic commits
sion which governs boxing in California.
BY vote of the people boxing is legaliz-
ed in this state but that does not neces-
sarily follow that the people wish it to be
allowed to do as it pleases.
There has been growing laXity all
down the line in California boxing circles
and this condition needs immediate rem
edying if boxing is to be continued. None
realize this any better than staunch sup
porters of boxing as a sport.
Matching boxers who are not physical
ly fit, arranging fights so that the par
ticipants know just how it is to end, and
continued violations of the rules which
the commission has drawn up, are evils
connected at present with boxing.
1t was the states idea in legaliZing the
sport to lift it out of the hands of the
riff-raff and make it as clean as football
or baseball. The people who supported
the measure providing for boxing COM
ission wanted this to be done. Instead
the boxing commission has been run by
the very people whom it was supposed to
weed out.
With a very few exceptions California
boxing is today in the hands of the same
old gang who were connected with it be-
fore it became legalized. A prominent
Los Angeles newspaperman tie rm S
them rats. They are not all rats but there
are too many rats connected with the
game. They must go or boxing will go.
