FUTURE BRIGHT,
BANK SAYS

against an excess Of peSsimism is
sounded by the National City
Bank of New York, in it's monthly
review of business. Pointing out
that an excess of optimism was
the basis of danger a year ago,
the bank says:
Last year a great many peO-
pie could see no limit to the
possibilities for expansion; now,
some of these same people seem
TO have lost all confidence in
the cOuntry's capacity for re-
cOvery. One viewpoint is as
unwarranted as the other. The
situation is not without serious
complications, including world
wide scope of the reaction, fall
in commodity prices and accu,
mutation of stocks. We do not
wish to minimize difficulties,
but are impressed with the re-
Cuperative powers of the coun-
try"
So long as prices are falling it
is natural for buyers to hold off
both because of lack of confidence
and because of desire to buy at
lowest possible levels, the bank
says. It continues as follows:
During this period of suS.
pended activity stocks pile up
in the hands of producers. or pri-
mary distributors, where they ac-
quire an exaggerated SisriG;-
canCe by reason of being visible
supplies Once, however, prices
are believed to have touched bot
tom. and buyers who have been
holding off repleniSh their de
pleted stocks, it is often sur
prising how quickly the buga-
boo of excessive stocks is diSSi-
pated.
Recently we have seen how
this works in the case of copper.
With the cut in. price to 1914
cents, orders during May were
the largest for any month in the
history of the industry. While
the stocks continue slarge, the
situation in the copper industry
has been materially improved"
The condition of general bust
ness, according to the review.
has continued unsatisfactory dur
ing May. The bank says:
Business has shown a pro
greSSive increase as compared
with the early months of the
year, but this has to be viewed
as the normal seasonal tendency.
When allowance has been made
it is not clear that much in
the way of general business i'm.
prOvement can yet be claimed"

WE NEED LOTS OF LAWS

1t is common complaint ir this coun-
try that we have too many laws; and
there is little doubt that our legisla-
lures and congress have been over-busy
in some directions, passing some laws
that are meddlesome and some that are
downright foolish Yet little study of
our current civilization ought to convince
anyone that it would be quite impossible
for US to get along at all without very
large, ever-increaslng number of petty
laws.
Life has grown more complex than 1t
was a generation or SO ago, and many
new laws are needed, in consequence.
For one thing, there are more of us. We
are crowded closer together. To keep
friction at minimum we have to have
regular network of regulations.
In the day when there were no auto
mobiles it made no difference how long
a man left his carriage standing at the
curb. Today, with autos clogging the
streets, it is imperative to have very
strict, complicated rules governing the
length of time and the places man may
park.
Similarly, in the pre-automobile days
other traffic laws were few. Now they
have to be very numerous. We could get
along without many restrictions and Of
ficers to enforce them.
Then there is the field of public
health. In the light of the medical
knowledge of our grandfathers, few
laws were needed in that field. Today
we have host Of them. We have to, for
our own protection; and as medical sci
ence progresses we shall have more laws
of the same kind.
Experience has proved that city per-
mitted to grow haphazard gets in the
way of its own progress. Today we have
complicated zoning laws-not because
we have a passion for law-making, but
because we have found that such laws
are necessary.
You could follow out parallels in a
dozen different fields. The plain fact
is that we need more laws than our fore
fathers did. Those critics who insist
that we are legislating ourselves to death
generally fail to understand that fact.

SIZING AND FTTTER

Amid all the noise and buster OF our
county campaign, with candidates max
ing charges and counter charges, and
those good old standbys deficiency and
economy" working overtime, it Is pleas
ing indeed to reflect that two OF the
countys best servants are spared the ne
cessty of making active political cam
paigns.
We refer to Congressman Phil ID.
Swing and Assemblyman NJ. d. Wltter
of Brawley.
Commenting on Congressman Swings
record in his own home community Is al
most waste of words. For the past 10
wears he has worked at Washington III
the interests of the entire 11th congress
sional district and for Imperial Valley.
His labors are we'll known to all and ev-
en- those who have opposed him political
ly at times have admitted that he is one
of the hardest worked men IN congress,
his district being much larger than some
eastern states which have many times
thenumber of congressman.
The Swing-J ohnson bill is Mr.. Swings
most notable piece of legislation. How
ever he has participated in other impor-
tant work, devoting much time to veter
ans legislation, navy affairs with an eye
to protecting San Diego'S interests IN
this connection and the tariff where it at
fected industries in various parts of his
district
No person in his district has ever writ
ten Mr. Swing for advice or information
without receiving reply. His atten-
tion to detailed correspondence has been
so scrupulous as to make other congress
men wonder how he can do it.
Although his record is not as lengthy
as the congressman Assemblyman Wit
ter has the same fine reputation as a
county servant at Sacramento. He has
served two terms in the legislature and
introduced there the legislation which
eventually resulted in the California
Colorado river commission, the first Of
ficial recognition by the state of Calf
orna of the need for aiding the Swing
Johnson bill.
He has worked hard and faithfully to
protect Imperial countys interests and
has given much of his private time out
side Of the regular legislative term to
matters concerning the county's welfare.
1t is gratifying to point out that al
though these two candidates are Republi-
cans, they have also been endorsed by
the Democratic party and although Con-
gresham Swing has nominal opposition
in a regular Democratic candidate, there
is no need for campaign in a district
that is strongly Republican, particularly
with many Democrats anxious to cast
their votes for him. Assemblyman Wit

"Oh, Uncle Wiggily, please show

where he had seen the young one

no sign Of Robin. Then, all at once
sad voice called:
"Lct me out! Please let me out

And what do you think had hap

had fallen on the bent back cover
of the tin can bath tub, and it had
folded down and shut poor Robin
in his bath 50 he couldn't get out
10 fly home to his father and mother.
But Uncle Wiggily quickly bent
back the tin top of the can and out
flew Robin, safely home with his
parents to the nest. He wasn't lost
any more and everybody was happy.
