SWEET REVENGE
For Sugar Tariff Foes Ir
Present Elections

Washington.-"Davy" Lewis, union
miner and father of the parcel
post" was elected to the house OF
representatives, defeating Congress-
man Zihlman, republican, in the
Maryland district adjacent to Wash
ington.
Edward P. Costigan, of Colorado,
was elected to the United States
senate.
Behind these announcements is a
story of intrigue by sugar barons
who found foes in the two men who
were members of the United States
tariff commission, and who were
kicked out of office because they
stood for the right.
The sugar tariff was before the
commission. One member of that
body was interested in sugar through
his wife's ownership Of stock in a
Louisiana sugar mill. Lewis and
Costigan insisted that he retire from
the hearings. He refused and they
appealed without success to President
Coolidge. The late Senator La Fol-
lette threatened to take up the fight
on the floor of the senate, and the
sugar member changed his mind.
But Lewis and Costigan were
marked men. Neither was reappoint-
ed. Lewis refused to accept office with
the understanding that he would
place his undated resignation in the
hands of President Coolidge. Both re-
tired to private life, and during all
these years have continued their fight
One is now in the senate and the
other is in the house. Lewis, as a
member of the house, two decades
ago, led the fight for the present par
eel post system.

KEEP MONTE CARLO OUT
OF WHEAT

The playboys of the country-and
of the world-ought to be warned to
keep their mischievous fingers away
from the vital processes of the ma
tional life, and from the utilities
which control the currents of employ
ment and commerce.
There is a class of men known as
the evolves of Wall Street"
These men prey on each other, and
any unsuspecting victims whom they
happen to catch in situations open to
attack.
Some of their kin operate in the
grain and cotton pits of the ex-
changes of the country. They have
an utter unconcern for the welfare
of the producer, the consumer, or the
distributor of commodities
Efforts to control these predatory
animals have been met with the claim
that their operations are within the
field of legitimate and necessary COM
mercial dealings 1t was through this
wide-open door that the agents of
Soviet Russia entered for the pur-
pose-or at least with the result
of demoralizing the American wheat
market. And in out of this door pass
constantly the otherwise unoccupied
playboys of the world, who ''tease"
the market with their surplus mil
lions, making a mock of the rational
and necessary processes of industry
and trade, and throwing into confu-
sion the considered plans of respon-
sible and cautious men for the pro-
visoning and furnishing of the needs
of mankind.
Just why those who have no real
interest in the problems of human

plainly were not the main issue in
their minds. The issue in their hands
was SMASH THE UNION"
The lockout was enforced last July
when the workers refused to sign a
yellow dog" The workers were join
ed by the engineers, firemen and
musicians, and the A. F. of Il. execu-
tive council calls on organized work
ers and sympathizers to keep in mind
this situation when they are consid-
ering holding conventions or other
meetings in Cleveland. The victimiz-
ing hotels are: Hollenden, Cleveland
Statler, Winton, Olmstead and Aller-
ton.

PROCRESSIVES WON
BITTER CONTESTS

Washington.-The recent elections
placed large group of social-mind-
ed men in the senate.
The campaigns against Senator
Norris and Senator Walsh, Of Mon
tana, were especially vicious. Norris,
as the foe of private exploitation of
water power, and Walsh, as the
prosecutor of oil thieves, won the ha-
tired of privilege.
Every trick known to the lowest
politician was used by Walsh-Norris
opponents. In the Nebraska fight
Norris opponents found grocery
clerk in small town who has the
same name as the senator and they
attempted to place second George
w. Norris on the ballot to confuse
voters.
In both campaigns progressives
carried the fight to the enemy, whose
strategy was whispers and libels.
Popular resentment against the
power trust and its tactics was also
illustrated in the defeat of Congress
man Reece, who has held office for
five terms, and who aided in blocking
the Norris bill for government opera
tion of Muscle Shoals. The Reece
defeat by an independent of the same
political faith, who entered the cam
paign 10 days before election, sur
prised the nation and bewildered
power trust defenders.

WHERE GOES 1T ALL?

President Hoover was in position
to know what he was saying when he
made the statement: "The American
people should understand that current
expenditures on strictly military
activities of the army and navy con-
stitute the largest military budget of
any nation in the world today"
Supporting this statement the off,
cial figures show that our military
budget for the last fiscal year was
$741 100000. This was an increase of
161 per cent over the pre-war budget.
The American people are not only
bearing a tremendous burden paying
for the past war, but are supporting
staggering budget for the next war.
Now comes General Pershing with
statements that do not coincide with
those of the president. He says
"America is already disarmed. Good
tell us we should throw away oul
ornaments. We have very little te
throw away"
If this is true, what the American
people want to know is where that
$741, ,O0O,0 900 is or are going?
Like Hashimura Togo, we ask fol

gate the matter of reply to some
one in the cabinet. Could the secre
tary of war tell us?

LET LABOR CARRY THE LOAD

LET LABOR CARRY THE LOAD
The five organizations of rail
transportation workers are discussing
the six-hour day with present rates
to relieve unemployment. Thousands
of workers have been discharged the
past 10 years because of improved
methods, but the roads handle a
greater output.
The workers suggestion that they
share in these benefits does not ap-
peal to Milton w. Harrison, presi-
dent National Association of Owners
of Railroads and Public Utility Secur-
tiles. He proposes that employed
workers divide their time with the
jobless.
That is the usual remedy-let labor

SEE THE PAGEANT

Thursday night will mark the open
ing of The Desert Calls, Imperial Val
ley's big pageant, and it is to be hoped
that the fair grounds at Imperial will
be crowded for the next four nights with
those wishing to see the production.
Presentation of the pageant marks the
elimination of a dream of many years
standing, and the end of months Of hard
work on the part of little group who
have tried valiantly to fire the rest of us
with some of their enthusiasm on the his
tory of Imperial Valley.
If for nothing more than to show our
appreciation for their efforts, it
would be our duty to see the pageant
and to interest others to see it, for such
self-sacrifice as they have shown de-
serves to win.
But the pageant itself is bigger even
than those who have made it dreamed it
would be. 1t is the story of Imperial
Valley brought in living form before
those who are now part of it. 1t IS d
story that should be as important to us
as the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers,
the coming of the padres, or the conquest
of the west
1t is the story of our home of which so
many of us know so little. We have,
perhaps, hazy knowledge that some
body came here a few years ago, dug
bitches. brought water in from the Col
orado river and Imperial Valley as we
know it, resulted.
But there is much behind that hazy
sketch There is the tremendous strug-
gle of brave men and women, inspired by
an ideal and a faith in themselves to
carry it through. Back still further is
the story of courageous men, and women
too, who passed over the then terrible
desert between Yuma and the mountains,
leaving thereon their imprint, which not
even the ravages of time and the desert
could eradicate.
Every nook and Granny Of Imperial
Valley has story to tell if we would
only go and look for it. Few of Us feel
that we have the time to do it. Then this
is all the more reason why we should
see the pageant, for it brings the COM
plete story of Imperial Valley to us, 60
ing back to the time of the Indians, and
treating every incident in Imperial Val
ley's development with the care needed
to round out a perfect production.
"The Desert Calls, is historical
drama, an inspiring spectacle and an in
tensely interesting narrative that need
not take second place to any similar at
tempt to reproduce local history.
1t should be seen by every man, woman
and child in Imperial Valley. 1t is our
own story and its success rests entirely
with u.s.

GRAND JURY REPORT

Report Of the county grand jury
printed in the news columns of this
issue contains among other things, the
recommendation that an audit of the
county's business be made every 90 days.
According to members of the grand
jury the present system Of auditing af-
fairs of the county is archaic, to say
the least. The jury is impanelled IN
October The audit which it is called
upon by law to have made, at present
covers the fiscal year ending year and
a half previous to the time it Is lmpan-
elled
Any business which conducted its af-
fairs in such manner would be laughed
at as old fashioned and exceedingly
dumb. One would as soon expect to find
the county using goose QuillS for writ
ing and candles for lighting purposes.
The grand jury was advised that a 80
day audit, in addition to keeping all ac-
counts of the county up to the minute,
would not cost as much in the course of
the year, as the annual audit now does.
The recommendation to the new grand
jury that it urge this system on the
board of supervisors, should have the
Immediate attention of the new body and
the support of everyone interested in
good government.
Need for a re-division of the county
supervisorial districts is apparent. Drawn
in the early days of the county. the lines
do not now indicate the best method of
governing the county. The recommends
alton that the boundary lines be re-eS-
tablished, is another matter that de-
serves immediate attention.
Disclosures relative to conditions in
Calipatria. need not be touched upon by
an outsider, except to say that it is quite
possible that conditions of a different
nature, but equally undesirable, might be
found in any political subdivision in the
county.
This is a result Of the indifference on
the part of the people to the manner IN
which public business is conducted, and
to the attitude assumed by so many Off
Gals as soon as they get into office,
that what they do or what their office
does, is none of the public's business.
All of US may be charged with consid-
cradle laxity in public affairs. In elect
ing our public officials we are too easily
influenced by personalities. Basing our
choice solely upon merit is the exception
instead of the rule. Until we learn to eX-
ercise more care in selecting officials,
from the lowest TO the highest offices,
we may expect continuance Of undeslr-
able conditions in public affairs.

NO DEPUTIES FOR
DUTY AS ESCORTS

Any person who thinks the sher-
ifs office is merely staid Law
enforcement agency might drop IT
there some day and hang around a
while.
Such visitor might gather the
impression that the sheriff and his
deputies are running an entertain
ment business.
Among other things, inquisitIve
persons show a quaint desire to &c
through the jail 10 see how such
things are conducted.
Only the other day two elderly
ladies visiting Imperial Valley from
San Francisco called at the sher-
ifs office and asked that two depu-
ties DC appointed to chaperon them
to MeXicali. Since the deputies
were busy, tho women did not get
their chapcrons.
