City Attorney

Regarding this Office, we feel as must all
citizens of the city who have had occasion
to come in contact with the incumbent His
efficiency and conscientious attention to
the city's legal business need no comment
from us, except that we feel the citizens of
ri Centro are fortunate in having a man of
his ability as the city's advisor.

To The Voters
of El Centre

With the city election only few days
off, we believe that the time has arrived to
issue a plain statement regarding our can
didacies for membership on the city coun-
Gil, which will aid you in deciding how you
should vote by clearing away the smoke
screen raised by our opponents through
many and sundry rumors, nsnuations and
groundleSs charges.
Our opponents-Mr. Fawcett and Mr.
Rice-have seen fit to make their campaign
on the question of retaining in office the
present chief of police and city engineer.
Why these two particular offices should be
made an issue is not for US to say. Sub
ordinate offices in our opinion, should not
enter into matter that is concerned sole
ly with city government
However, our opponents have challenged
us as to our position regarding these two
offices, and we give them herewith, togeth-
er with our candid opinion on other ap-
pointive offices of the city, and our plans
with reference to them.

Fire Department.:

The city fire department has been mat
ter of pride with city officials and citizens.
An investigation will be made in this de-
partment to ascertain what may be neces-
sary to help it increase it's efficiency. The
present chief has performed his duties in a
satisfactory manner, in our opinion, and
his recommendations as to more paid men
or additional equipment, will be given care
full considerations
Imperial Valley press., 1930-04-11
Police Judge:

We believe the police Judge should be free
to conduct the work of his court, subject to
the council, and with the cooperation but
not the dictation of the chief of police. The
present judge has our admiration for the
excellent manner in which he has perform
ed his duties and we can see no reason why
he should not be permitted to do so.

Water Department:

Under the supervision of the present su-
perintendent of water works, Ell Centro's
water supply has reached high state of
efficiency second to no city OF similar size
in the country. A visit to the water plant
Imperial Valley press., 1930-04-11

Will convince any citizen or taxpayer of
this. We feel that the superintendent is
entitled to free hand, subject to council
supervision, in operating his department,
and should not be hampered by an overlap
ping of departments as occasionally hap
pens.

Health Officer:

We recognize the vital Importance of this
office to the welfare of the city and will
gladly work with other members of the
council and the health officer in safeguard

feel that a survey of this department may
reveal opportunity for greater efficiency
and will cooperate with the health officer
to the fullest extent

reveal opportunity for greater efficiency
and will cooperate with the health officer
to the fullest extent
In presenting this statement to the voters
OF Ell Centre, we have been as frank and as
honest as we would be were it possible for
US to talk with each of you personally. We
have nothing to hide, no axes to grind, no
personal or political differences to settle.
AS we approach the cay for going to the
polls the thought uppermost in our minds
Is that we may be able to pay by our service
on the city council for the prosperity and
happiness which has come to us through
our years of residence in Ell Centre. Cit
lzenshlp means duties as we'll as privileges
and we will consider it both a duty and
privilege if we are chosen to serve on the
city council
If the voters of Ell Centro honor us with
office, we pledge them in return, an honest,
sincere effort to serve the city's interests
to the best of our ability, thereby
serving their interest We shall en-
deavor to work in harmony with the
hold over members of the council, retain
ing as individuals, our independence and
right to think for ourselves.
We ask you as citizens interested in Ell
Centro's present and future, to think over
the things we have told you in this state
ment and to appreciate as you read them
that we are talking to you in man to man
fashion, without having our fingers crossed
or attempting to say one thing and mean
another
We hope for victory but should the cit
liens rule otherwise, we shall continue to
do in the future as we have done in the past
play our parts as private individuals and
citizens, to aid in making FL Centre pro-
oif, hot hon Io
home.
We place ourselves before you on Mon
day as two Ell Centro businessmen. un-
pledged to any faction, bound by no pre-
campaign promises, and leave the decision
up to you, asking only that you consider Ell
Centros welfare as we have tried to do. If
you do this we feel confident that Won will
give us your support

The sealing industry on the Pri- bilof Islands a government mon- oply, carried on under the pro- visions of the North Pacific Seal Convention for the preservation and protection of the fur seals of the north Pacific Ocean, declares Gov George A. Parks in his annual report to the Secretary of Inter for the Juneau Empire quotes
 Sealing and foxing operations as well as work in connection the upkeep Of buildings and the extension of improved roads, are performed by natives under the direction of staff of white em- ployees. ..
 In return for their services the natives are provided with all the necessities of life. including med ical and educational facilities. Al 50, they receive cash payments at
 @ rate 0f 75 cents flor each seal skin and $5 for each fox skim taken. Such payments, together with bonuses to the foreman and a cook, amounted to s33.Os6 for
 sealskins taken in #the calendar year 1929 and fox skins taken in the season of l928-29 III addition to the other resident natives, 32 temporary workmen from the Aleutian Islands and the main land were employed to assist sealing activities and construction work on St. Paul Island during the summer of 1929 .#
 There were 33.2i6 .fur- Seal skins taken on St. Paul rsland and 6,- 852 on St. George Island in 1929, a total of 4o.0s8.

THE PRINTERS WILL HELP

Efforts to remove illiteracy were
discussed at the recent meeting of
the United Typothetae of America,
held at Boston. The printers were
urged to do what they can for the
further education of their employees
and the public generally. They have
always been interested in this cause.
You can sell printers ink only to
people who can read and read easily.
Printers ink has turned the world
upside down. 1t has handed on the
knowledge of each generation to the
next, it reaches into quiet homes
and organizes public opinion.
Printers, both employers and en-
ployees, are intelligent folks. They
are in constant contact with the
sources that spread information. The
printed page interests them, and
they absorb deeply of its knowledge.

ONE EVENING A WEEK

1t would be fine thing during the
coming winter, if our people would
generally consent to give one even
ing week, or it's equivalent during
the daytime, to some kind of com
munity work.
1t would provide for the churches
a large group of workers who could
enable these institutions to do more
educational and inspirational work.
1t would provide a group of people
who were keeping close watch of
affairs, and assisting in
all efforts for economy an deffi-
cheney. 1t would create another
group assisting the schools to do
more for the young people. Still an
other would be working for business
development. A general willing
ness to take hold in such ways
would be a constructive and reviv-
ing force of great power.

NAKED TREES

The falling of the leaves from our
deciduous trees makes a great
change in our country's autumnal
landscape. American city streets
have more shade trees than will be
found anywhere else in the world,
and our groves and forests and way
side trees are one of our chief
scenic glories.
The winds of autumn come, and
send their shivering breath through
these verdant branches. The gar
ment of green drops to the earth,
leaving these limbs and twigs naked
to the blast. To many people they
look bare and forbidding. Yet to
others this nakedness reveals their
strength. They give an impression
of power, force that stands against
the fiercest blasts of winter.
Many trees are very beautiful in
their bare condition. Their branches
have a pleasing rOtund symmetry.
Others are jagged and irregular, but
even their most gnarled branches
suggest sturdiness and pleasing
Nature is beautiful in all
her moods to those who love her

TME NON.YOTER,S REASnNe

1t would be interesting TO look in
t. the minds of the millions of peo-
pie who will fail to vote at this
years election, and find out just
what excuse they give themselves
for their absence from the polls,
which is so harmful to the cause of
good government.
Excuse No. my one vote will
make no difference" Perhaps this is
the excuse most commonly given.
But it is not accpeted in other re-
latiOns of life. No one who was
drafted for war service was cX-
cused on the ground that his pres
ence alone would make no differ
ence to the army. This is not con-
sidered any alibi for not paying
taxes. If we start in giving such
excuses, our government will so to
pieces, all our social organization
will fail, business will perish. Each
one has to do his part in this world.
Excuse No. 2-"I was too busy"
But the act of voting takes Oaly a
few minutes. The country gives us
protection from possible foreign and
domestic foes, and if it failed to do
its work, we should all be lying
around idle and hungry, and we
should have plenty of time to vote.
EXCUSE No. 81 do not under
stand politics, and do not know how
to vote" A very popular excuse,
particularly with the women folks.
1t seems a rather indolent point of
view, for people to suffer from many
evils caused by imperfect govern
ment, when these evils could be end
ed if they would give this public
some intelligent attention.
So the excuses go on, all paltry
and unworthy. 1t all comes down to
this, that the non-voters pass the |
buck to their neighbors, and expect
them to provide good government.
Buck passers are not popular in Del
iware or anywhre else.
Milford chronicle., 1930-10-31
RELIEF III AsnRES

When an unusually large number
of people would be ont of work in
former years, the ordinary way of
meeting the situation was simply to
hope for better times; and issue op-
timistic statemeAts that the crisis
would soon be passed: But it is rec
ognized today that the federal and
state and municipal 4 governments
can not afford to Feplain passive
when such conditions exist.
The appointment of a. committee
by President Hoover to deal with
on a nation wide
scale, is a recognition that these sit
uations can not be allowed to cure
themselves. In time nature works
out remedy, but nature will do a
lot more if the various public agen-
cies get together to give the good
cause push. A large number of
idle people is reproach to our
civilization.
Milford chronicle., 1930-10-31
THE CONTRIBUTING SPIRIT

One reason why some cOmmuni-
ties progress rapidly, is that there is
so much willingness on the part of
business men to give free services
to community causes, and also fire.
quent willingness to contribute
valuable material and supplies at
cost, or less, for the sake of encOur-
aging such movements.
A marvellous spirit of generosity
and public spirit is often shown in
these respects. Business men will
devote much of their time for days
and weeks, or more or less perma-
nently, to public work for which
they get no direct reward only such
as comes to all citizens through i'm
proved prosperity and advantages.
And many of them are extremely lib
eral in the way they donate mate
rial and supplies to such movements,
to reduce the expense thereof to a
minimum.
1t takes a good deal of that spirit
to make public movements a success.
If everything has to be bought and
paid for at commercial rates, a
heavy handicap is created to pub
lie efforts.
Many people think too much Of
the immediate dollar that is right
within sight, and in so doing they
lose sight of the much larger gain
that is had when community
grows and prospers. If commun-
ity makes a good advance, the
value of business and property may
be doubled. But while the citizens
of a niggardly town are saving few
dollars by their lack of readiness to
help public causes with personal eff
fort and otherwise, they may be los
ing thousands, and the advantages |
their community needs, by their lack
of a cooperative spirit.
A community where people show .
his willingness to contribute to the .
public good is invariably one in
which it is easy to push public ef-
'orts through to success. A wave of
popular interest is created which
translates ideas into achievement.
Milford chronicle., 1930-10-31
MODERN PUBLICITY

Publicity has become one of the
most powerful agents in modern life.
Political parties, candidates, well
fare causes, government bureaus,
churches, and societies, and hun
dreds of other interests, have their
regular publicity agencies. 1t is next
to impossible for movement to
make any progress in these times
without effective publicity work.
The same is equally true of a
business concern. If it has not some
plan for getting its ideas and eff
forts through to the public mind, it
is likely to become a side issue in
business life. A moderate amount of
publicity expense through newspa-
per advertising will make a wonder
full improvement in a concerns pros
poets.
Milford chronicle., 1930-10-31
WORLD DEPRESSION TEMPO
RARY

Philip Snowden, Chancellor of the
Exchequer of England, says that
world depression in trade is tenn
porary. We can all well hope so,
as a revival of trade in Europe
would be a big help to the United
States. War conditions weigh heav-
lily on those countries, but they are
working out of their difficulties.
Their debts are a heavy burden.
In business life, some people say it
is a good thing for man to owe a
lot of money. as it makes him work
harder. The peoples of Europe are
gradually undermining their indus
tries, which will make them greater
producers of wealth and better able
to buy our products. What holds
them back now, is much like what
holds American back, fear of the flu
ture. Fear is a poor guide.
Milford chronicle., 1930-10-31
THE ACT OF VOTING

Are you going to vote at the cleo
tion of November 4th? If not, why
not?
1t is singular thing how SO many
good and excellent people can neg
lect this duty. Here we are trying
to run a democratic country, and the
only way to make a success at it, is
for the citizens generally to be will
ing to give some time and attention
to it. 1t was the original theory of
the government, that the people
would be able to protect their own
interests better than. any kingly
power could do this work for them
So our fOrefathers made their great
sacrifices, and felt they were con-
ferring a wonderful boon OH their
descendants, when they handed on a
free government to them as their
choicest possession.
But 10 and behold, a very large
part of our citizens decline to take
any interest in this right of citizen
ship so dearly bought
AS a result, graft and corruption
flourish in many communities. In
competent politicians obtain office,
and attend to the duties of their po-
sitiOn in laundering way. Inter-
ests that clamor for special favors
which they ought not to have, are
given a preference, and quiet and
Industrious people suffer from the
neglect. Crime grows in power, and
threatens the life of the nation.
And all these abuses could be
ended, if our people would quit this
attitude of Indifference, and attend
tc the business of politics as they at
tend to their own stir many indif-
ferent citizens out OF this passive
and unrehecting attitude. The neg
lect of these duties and privileges |
seems to be on the increase. Let us
at least here in Delaware get out |
a good vote OH November 4, and show
that we are interested in good gov
