winter was an unusually heavy one
and the demands made upon the
local organization were exceptional
" numerous and varied.

FRIENDS DECLARE CUFF IDEAL
MAN TO SUCCEED NJ. d. WITTER

The passing of Myron d. Witter
was deeply lamented by his many
friends, and we all recognize the
fact that the county has lost a
representative citizen, an able as
semblyman, and a gentleman in
all that the word implies. We all
regret his passing. The good work
that he began should be followed
up and people of Imperial county
generally agree in this.
The man VINO will be selected at
March 19, to fill the vacancy that
now exists in the office of assem-
blyman for Imperial county, may
be a personal friend of the late Mr..
Writer'S or he may not. The can
didates have pledged themselves to
follow up his policies, and no doubt
each of the individual candidates
has legislative ideas of his own.
New conditions are presenting
themselves from day to day, and
We must not look only to those
things which needed attention dur
ing the life of Mr.. Witter, we must
also select a candidate who will be
able TO meet new conditions that
may arise in the coming two years.
The position of assemblyman is
a more important position than
the average citizen realizes. The
question of state appropriations
now and in the coming two years;
the question of general state poll
cy, and the very accute financial
condition throughout the country

somewhat undignified squabble to
determine just what group of So
ciety is to be the goat.
l have no panacea for the ad-
justment of taxation. ! believe that
in view of increased demand by the
people for additional governmental
service there is little likelihood OF
reduced taxes. I believe that our
legislature is faced with the almost
immediate need to determine by
scientific study just where taxes
must be lightened, where a COM
pensating amount of tax money can
be obtained justly, establish the ma
chinery for its collection and then
allocate those funds to their proper
function. l know of no greater
service an aSSemblyman could rem
der than to assist in this task, that
judging by the tax bills now before
the legislature, is already under
way
There are a number of bills now
pending dealing with the gas tax
that indicate a great diversity of
interest in the ALLEGATION of the
funds derived therefrom. The an
sWer to this problem is no doubt
to be found in compromise. 1t
would be my purpose, if elected, to
assist in constructive tax reform
that will assist in effecting every
possible governmental economy and
will help to secure systems of tax
alton that more equally distribute
the tax burden among taxpayers
of different classes.
During two campaigns l favored
the federal plan of apportionment
which was adapted and by which
the apportionment in the senate is
by counties and in the assembly is
ing federal apportionment 1 favor
a strict adherence to the rule where
population is made a factor.
Those who know me best will, I
think, agree that l would bring to
the consideration of legislative
problems a farmer type of mind.
BY this I do not set the farmer
against his local merchant nor the
merchant against his customer.
L llC dllll lllt Gildllb vi
an agricultural community are ma
tural allies. They have a common
interest in the farmers buying
power. The merchants interest III
the farmers buying power is proper
to the degree that his business is
legitimate and honest. l believe
that the interests of Imperial
county can be best served by a
man who sincerely believes that
agriculture is the fundamental in
dustry upon which all others de-
pends. Mr.. Witter. an editor, was
such a man. Farmers in the leg
islature have too often in the past
been compelled TO too much defenS-
i've effort. Re-apportionment is
bringing about a better condition
when farmer minded men will have
a greater part m constructive leg
islation.
I favor the construction of the
All-American canal and the de-
velopment of power thereon. I'M
perial Valley gets bargain in this
undertaking. To some extent it
is having upon us the same effect
that bargains have upon individ-
uals. An acre of ground will not
produce any more crop under it
than it does now. Our farms and
our businesses will not be financed
the easier for it during the con-
struction and repayment period I
have a desire to be helpful in this
undertaking and will give all have
of honest purpose to this project
and to the consideration of prob
lens, legislative or otherwise con-
nected with it.
