State to Lose
Huge Sum From
I Gasoline War


SACRAMENTO, Cal. July IL.
UIP)-California viii lose from
$7j0,O00 to Sl,O00,OO0 in gasoline
taxes as result of the present
"gasoline war; sweeping the price,
down to as low as cents per gal
Ion, State Controller Ray l.. Riley
estimated today.
Although the low price will result
in slight increase in the quantity
of gasoline used, the gain will be
offset by the smaller companies
forced out of business because Of
inability to cover the state tax.
Riley bases his prediction on a
similar "war'' two years ago, when
taxes aggregating more than Sl50,-
900 were lost to the state.
Eight major companies distrib-
ute 20 per cent of the gasoline used
in California, - Riley said. "There
are 50 companies liza bic for payment
of gasoline taxes, but the remainder
are small concerns who will feel the
pinch of the price war most"
The present war" Riley said
is undoubtedly struggle to set new
gallonage records which is a big
prize for the distributors to obtain.

found himself in q field where grew

"Thank you.' spoke Mr.. Long

of bright blossoms, one for Jingle
and one for Jangle, while the bee
started to gather sweet juice from
the posieS. Those flower juices the
bee would take to his nest where
they could he stored away in little
wax cups until next winter. That :
the way the bees do. All summer
they live on flower juice. But in
winter, at least in that part Of the
country where Uncle Wiggily lived i,
there were no flowers in winter. So
the bees must store away honey
against til" time when they cannot
fly out and gather it from flowers
in the fields.
"'Well. now 7 have two fine bou-

his blossoms ON the ground while

disagree with practically everything that
other people have said.
SO it is with his recent remark about
agriculture He is in sharp opposition
to the attempts of such organizations as
the Federal Farm Board to get the
farmer to reduce the size of his crops;
instead, he declares that the best way
for agriculture as a whole to regain its
prosperity is for each farmer to go in
for quantity production on a large scale.
A surplus of farm, products? The
bigger the better, says Mr.. Ford A sur
plus of any commodity is always the
starting point for new uses. He points
to the industrial uses that can be obtain
ed from such food staple as corn, and
predicts that the same sort of develop
ment can hold true all the way down the
line.
This sort of advice, coming as it does
from a man who has upset our whole
economic system, is bound to be received
with respect; but one wonders how much
attention it will get from the farmer who
finds himself with a large crop which
cannot be sold for so much as the bare
cost of production. In theory, there may
be a good deal in what Mr.. Ford says;
but in actual practice the farmer, like the
industrialist-like Mr.. Ford himself, in
fact-will continue to find that there are
times when a curtailment of production
is necessary.
Eventually, however, it is quite pos
sible that Mr.. Ford's words will be up
held. For this eccentric motor manufac-
turer has, after all, hit upon one great
idea. He can see that there is something
very wrong with the mere expression,
production.
How can there be over-production, in a
real sense, until every one on earth has
all he wants of the commodity in ques-
ton? Today there are millions of people
starving in China; yet American farmers
have surplus of food that they cannot
dispose of. What is the answer? In a
broad theoretical sense, is not Mr.. Ford
right-however strongly the eXigencies
of the moment may go against him?

THREE SEEK SCHOOL OFFICE
W. G.. COSTELLO,
Manager

Three candidates of an unusually high
type, seek election to the office of school
superintendent in Imperial county: Mrs.
Kathryn Watts of CaleXco: c. r. Prince
of Calipatria and c. g. Collins of Holt
Vile
All three have excellent qualifica-
tions through years of connection with
school work in Imperial county. They
have held important positions in the
public schools of the county and have
been honored by their coworkers with
election to high office in educational as
sociations.
In seeking the office of county super
intendent Mrs. Watts does so with the
feeling that being woman is decided
asset and not handicap for this partic-
ular place. Many will agree with her.
Few will dispute that women are in
stinctively fitted for the training of
children and the superintendent office
is concerned mainly with supervising
such training.
Her work in the CaleXico schools as
teacher and executive, has been of an eX-
ceptionally high order and has inspired
the praise of leading educators both
within and without the county.
Likewise the records of Mr.. Prince in
oallpaIfla ana MI. COlllnS IN HOltVllle
and Calexico are rated highly. Their
regulations as teachers and executives
are commendable.
The Press is content to let the decision
as to which two of the three will make
the run-off race in November, rest with
the voters. Its support following the
primary will be accorded to the candi-
date it believes to be best fitted for office,
