Mighty hard times, these.
And you're doing everything
you can for the other fellow,
aren't you? Giving him clothes
and money and food, to the
limit of your heart and purse.
That's fine. But remember
this
THE FINEST THING YOU
. CAN DO FOR ANY MAN IS
TO BELIEVE IN HIM.
Believe in him as you'd want
him to believe in you. (For you
know how it would be with
yourself, if you were down and
out. They might give you
everything your body needed,
but if they deSpised you while
they did it, what would the
gift be worthD ,.
Believe in him, in spite Of
what he seems. Believe that
he's better than he seems
more honest than his record,
kinder, cleaner
For he is! We all are!
How'd you like to be judged
on YOUR record, with never an
allowance for your secret hopes
and dreams?
Believe In Him
Believe that he wants to
make good as much as you
want to make good. Believe
that he has pride and ambi-
ton and dreams-even if his
eyes are those of a dead fish.
Believe. in him, no matter
what he says or does
FOR NO MATTER WHAT
HE SAYS OR DOES, HE IS
WORTHY OF YOUR BELIEF.
Yes, I know-he may be a
weakling, a loafer, even a crook.
He may have broken faith and
thrown away chances. (Who
hasn'tD. He may be lazy and
shiftless and ignorant. But
HE'S A MAN. And because
he's a man, he's the greatest

Payroll Slash
Continued from page II

investigating the salaries paid in
others"
Payroll Explained
Payroll records of the irrigation
district show that nearly so per cent
of the employees are receiving SAL
aries ranging from $40 to 500 per
month and that those receiving sal
aries from $40 to as high as Sl5o
per month total more than 81 per
cent of the entire list of employees.
Only six employees cut of the 727
receiving pay from the district
draw in excess OF $500 per month,
the records snow. About per cent
Of the employees draw in excess Of
5000 per month. That means that
approximately 95 per cent of the
entire list of employees receives
salaries ranging from Sl0 to 500
per month.
The figures, district officials
state, are something OF a revelation
in view OF the demands recently
made by Director w. F. Beal that
drastic reductions be made in the
payroll, particularly in considera-
ton of the fact that the district Is
a s22oO0,000 corporation.
NJ. J. Dowd, chief engineer OF the
district, reports that retrenchment
measures invoked more than a year
ago have resulted in a decreased
expenditure by tie district during
the first half Of 1881 amounting to
S353.515.23.
The foregoing payroll figures are
taken from the July 1881 payroll
records and show the range Of sal
aries in effect at the beginning OF
the last half Of 1881.
Chairman Brockman who was
absent yesterday when the vote was
taken for favorable acceptance Of
the All-American canal contract as
it now stands, was asked for his

lieve 1t will work a hardship upon
the taxpayers and landowners Of

effect upon our securities. I believe
that taxes will be increased if the
contract is accepted. 1t will have

BUTLER ATTACKS
NEWSPAPERS In
COAST ADDRESS

LOS ANGELES, Oct. ID. U.P)-
Major General Smedley d. Butler,
United States Marine corps retired,
left today Tor Fresno after clos
ing a rapid fire speaking engage
ment IN Los Angeles with a burst
of oratcrical fireworks directed
against crime, politicians and news
papers.
Buffers one day visit in Los An
geles was filled with action. He
commiserated with Mayor John C.
Porter on attacks at Porters office
and the police department; he ad-
vised the county supervisors to en-
act an ex-convict registration ordi-
nance. and ne advised candidates
for office to use the radio rather
than the newspapers.
His attack on the press WAS the
most spectacular of the day. Mayor
Porter had told Butler of the un-
favorable newspaper CONNIE n t
aimed at the local administration S
efforts to clean up the city.
Il told the mayor to pay no at
tention to the comment Butler
said later.

the stages between reporter and

the city editor, they aren't always.

Delay Encountered
On Bird Refuge

The Salton Sea migratory bird
refuge will not come under the ol-
rect administration of the bureau
of biological survey of the U. S. de-
partment of agriculture for at least
a year, according TO a letter re-
ceieved from that bureau today by
Scott B. Foulds, secretary manager
Of the farm bureau.
Until it is taken over by the bu-
reau. hunting will be permitted,
providing that all game laws are OBJ
served. The bureaus funds are
limited and the scope of the work
so wide that it will be impossible
for it to undertake any new projects
this year.
Foulds wrote the bureau in re-
gard to the damage done by birds to
the crops in the north end. Farm
ers have suffered considerable loss
through birds eating their crop and
FCulds asked the bureau if it would
provide feed for the birds. AT
present the bureau will do nothing
out it assured Foulds Of its willing
ness to cooperate with the farmers
when the refuge came under its ad-
ministration.

japanese Woman
Commits Suicide

Dependency concerning condi-
tions in Japan is said to have
caused Mrs. Momoyo Kato, SO. of
Calexico to hang herself from the
porch of her home yesterday, just
two days after her return from
five months visit in her native
land
When she was alone at the Kato
home, two miles northwest of CAL
exico, she tied the rope from her
trunk around her neck mounted a
chair then pushed the chair away.
Her lifeless body was found by
neighbor.
Mrs. Kato lived in the United
States 10 years and near Calexlco
eight years. Prior to her departure
to her native land, she was said
TO have been worried about condi-
tions there. The trip was arranged
in hope a change of scenery and g
visit with friends and relatives
would make her happy and coHtent-
ed here.
Coroner Bert Underwood con-
Quoted an investigation last night
and determ ined dependency
brought about the suicide.
The body is at Arnold's Funeral
home in CaleXico.

can be influenced by large interests
which insist editorial matter carry
propaganda.
Il told the mayor not 70 try to
reach the people through the news
papers. If he wants them to get
the truth, he'll have to use the
radio.
During his evening lecture Butler
again referred briefly to the local
situation when he said that after
noon papers had screamed wildly
that 1 had bitter row with your
mayor and chief of police. It was
truly a love feast we had"
The argument between Butler
and Mayor Porter centered around
the respective crime records of Los
Angeles and Philadelphia. TIL he
mayor claimed Los Angeles records
of only ll8 holdups during the
month of August was better than
that of the Quaker city.
That's terrible Butler remark
ed. ''In Philadelphia we only had
AZ during my last six months in
office. We killed the gunmen;' that's
how we cleaned up"
Buffers suggestions for solving
the crime problem included use of
more stool pigeons" cooperation
between cities, wholehearted sup
port of local police, and the estab-
lishment of headlines" to keep
criminals out of certain districts.

Thomas Jefferson

Ordinarily we think of Thomas Jefferson born l88 years ago today. as the third pres ident of the United States, one of the drafters of the Declaration of Independence. and founder of the democratic party. But Jeffer son was even more versatile than this. He was an architect of unquestioned ability. The Jefferson mansion at Monticello. restored to- day to the state in which it was in Jeffersons time. stands as triumph of architectural skill and beauty Our modern public school sys- tenn had its first proponent and defender in Jefferson. He failed to see it established.
 Educated at William and Mary College it was mainly through his efforts that it became a university. He also founded the University of Virginia and had the following inscribed over its portals Ye shall know the truth and truth shall make you free. He developed the postoffiee service and showed such an in- terest in the patent office that invention was given great impetus. Our present system of coinage began with Jefferson. He negotiated the Louisiana purchase which doubled the size of this nation. He also aided the Lewis and Clark expedition which threw open the great Northwest.
 Although Jefferson was a slave owner he worked for the abolishment of slavery all his life. He probably visioned the bloody war of the states over this same issue. He promoted peace with Canada by removing forts on the border and ordering ships of war out of the Great Lakes. Even in those early days of the nation Jefferson preached conservation of plant life being lover of the great outdoors and realizing the extent to which this country would grow and what waste would occur in it Above all these though. Jefferson fought tooth and nail for the principle that all men are born free and equal.
 < Upon that sole tenet has this nation of ours survived. Would that we had Jefferson in our midst today to reiterate this principle These are troubled times. Mer may be born free and equal but they do not remain in that state long. We find ourselves lowing to the

Einstein On Prohibition

Albert Enstein. the famous scientist. writ ing of his observations in this country. says: The prestige of the national government has undoubtedly fallen as 3 result of the prohbi- tion law There is nothing more dangerous to the prestige of the nation and of the law than the making of laws the observance of which cannot be enforced. It is public secret that the menacing development of criminaty in America is direct consequence of this sit uation." Here is Einsteinian frankness. and more than the usual Einsteinian clarity. He probably speaks with his usual dispassionate- ness quality lacking among us, no matter which side we are on.
 Rock ribbed drys needn't get mad at Fin stein. and sopping vets neednt throw up their hats The professor is probably more inter- ested in seeing criminalty suppressed and re- spect for law restored than he is in flooding the country with legalized liquor. If he has a constructive policy in mind it may be some modification of the present law which. from its moderation or flexibility. would have a better chance of being obeyed. and which would strike at crime by taking the criminal profit out of liquor.
