PROPOSITIONS on BALLOT

No. rs - CORPORATIONS. This sen
ate constitutional amendment empowers
the legislature TO provide for formation,
organization and regulation of corpora
tions. prescribe their rights, powers. Cu-
ties. liabilities etc. This is a good law
for the state as it will remedy several
of the evils existing in the present cor
porate law. which have kept outside cap
ital from entering into business here. It
will encourage corporations to be formed
here instead Of going outside the state.
Vote yes.
No. 17-TAXATION OF OCEAN Ma
RINE INSURERS. A senate constitu-
tionai amendment, requiring ocean ma
rine insurers to pay an annual state tax
measured by that proportion OF Its un-
derWrIting profit which its gross prem
iums from California business bear to ITS
gross premiums from business III the
United States. 1t unanimously passed
the legislature of 1929 1t will benefit
marine shippers of this state and will en-
able them to build up the export bus
mess of California, q vital necessity III
the states development. Vote yes.
No. is. - CHANGING MOTOR We
HICLE TAXATION. This senate con-
stitutional amendment would have the
state collect a tax on automobiles in lieu
Of the present personal property tax
now collected by the county. There has
been much discussion of this proposition,
which is reputed to eliminate the cOndl-
ton which now permits many translentS
and others to escape paying taxes on
their cars We 90 not believe the idea
Is sound. L IS up to the assessor in each
county 10 collect taxes on all taxable
property and this applies as well to au-
tomobileS as 70 other property 1t is as
serted the assessors now collect so per
cent o1 the tax due by motor vehicle own
ers and with due diligence the greater
part Of the other 20 per cent could also
be obtained. Vote no.
No. 10 = JUDICIARY QUALIFICA-
TIONS. This is an assembly constitu-
tional amendment, declaring justices of
the supreme court. district courts of ap-
peal, Judges Of superior and municipal
courts Ineligible to other office or public
employment during their terms. The
present law prohibits Judges from prac-
ticing law in courts and leads to confus-
ion because it does not directly specify
that they must not practice outside OF
courts The Law has little opposition
and remedies an acknowledged defect.
Vote yes.
No. 20 - GOVERNOR COUNCIL.

MRS. W'ATTS OUR CHOICE

On next Tuesday the people of lmper-
ial county will elect q county superin-
tendent of schools. one Of the most I'M
portant posts IN the entire county. and
one which receives possibly tee little at
tention from the average voter
The greater part Of the tax dollar is
spent in our schools and few persons.
including parents. take any real inter-
est in their administration.
This is something that cannot always
be measured by dollars and cents meth
ods for educational requirements are
ever progressing and expanding and
quite often require considerable outlay
which might appear as unnecessary un-
less every angle Of the matter is care
fully studied.
After due consideration of both candi-
dates in the field, Mrs. Kathryn +. Watts
of CaleXico. and c. B. Collins of Holtvlle.
the Press has given its support to the
former. believing she is fully capable OF
administering the affairs OF the county
schools in most efficient manner.
Mrs Watts has had long experience
as a teacher and has coupled with it an
extensive training in business adminis-
tration. both as a school executive and
a business woman. She is keenly aware
of the need for maintaining Imperial
county schools up to the high standards
which the California school system re-
quires, and is ambitious to make our
schools second to none in the state in ef
ficiency and in the amount of good they
can do for the future citizens OF this
community
The Press considers her eminently fit
ted for the post she seeks. at the same
time acknowledging the high merits Of
her opponent.
Mrs. Watts is capable and conscien-
tious and possesses that most necessary
attribute broad understanding OF mod
ern educational requirements, neither
Handicapped by a sense of false economy
nor clouded by a tendency to eXtraya-
g2nce.
With the teachers viewpoint as a.
background. and the executives under
standing as a counterbalance, she is
equipped 10 administer the countv's
school affairs to the best interest of the
taxpayer, without sacrificing efficiency
for eXpediency.
The people of Imperial Valley will
make no mistake in placing her at the
head OF the county school system.

GUNMEN KILLS RACkETEER IN
 BED IN HOSPITAL

NEWARK, New Jersey, Nov 8, LP)-A racketeer who sought sanct- uaTy in Newark General Hospi- tai in private room. was tracked down by two gunmen who killed him while he lay in bed.
 Walking past the information desk without word, the slayers went directly to the room occupied by John Passelli, known as The Ape, and fired three shots killing him instantly. They then walk aged to escape in an automobile.
 Passelli was listed in the hos pital as Joe Caruso. He arrived there Sunday with scalp wounds. and told the hospital attachees he had fallen from an auto. He in sisted on staying even when the attendants told him he was fully able to be about It was then he engaged a private room.
 Police said they believed he had jumped from car Sunday when he realized he was being taken for a ride.
 The killers, at first baked, trailed him and managed to bring about his death.
 Police attribute the killing to the remark that Passelli was try ing to muscle" in on the grape racket" by which gangsters levy a tribute on shipments.
 A doctor and several nurses viewed the two gunmen clearly. and will possibly be given an op- portunity to attempt to identify them.

WEDNESDAY, ;TFLEGRAPhIC)
BOTH SIDES GO TO BAT

UNDATED, Nov. 5, R)-The political campaign of 1880 reach cd its climax yesterday when the general election took place through out the country, completing the membership of the House of Re presentatives and one-thEd of the Senate who were up for reelection. Hundreds of minor officials also came up for election.
 Republicans and Democrats both made Hover the national issue. es- pecially in reference to business decline, tariff, farm relief. and pro- hibition, to which was added local issues in various states. Both sides saw the recession of Repub- lican strength which arose in 1928 and also saw the scaling down of the Republican majority in Con- gress, perhaps to a point of Dem- ocratic control. The Democratic members predicted a majority in the House and reduction of the Republican majority in the Senate.
 The heretofore undisputed ter ritory where more than half the country's population lives includ- ing New York, Pennsylvania, Mass achusetts and Ohio, were listed as doubtful
 Such was the concensus of op- inion on an eleventh hour survey made by both parties Those in terested in party strength and na- tional opinion will be able to see by the returns which are starting to come in today, just how true those estimates were.
