UNIT PREPARES
FOR POPPY SALE

Local American Legion Auxiliary
members have been busy this week
making wreaths of little red poppies
which are sold each year on the
Saturday before Memorial day.
These flowers have a two fold
purpose for not only are they worn
in remembrance of the dead, but
they also furnish a livelihood for
the disabled soldiers who make
them, and also mean that each unit
can conduct child welfare work in
its community.
Part of the money goes, to the
veterans and part remains in the
community. In FL Centro it will
be used to send undernourished
children TO the health camp at Hi
pass.

Committee Report Charges
Regulation Is Broken Down;
Private Monopoly Raped
By,ROBERT S, ALLEN

Competition by publicly owned
and operated utilities and rail.
roads as the only effective
method of Government regulation
of these basic industries was rec.
commended today to Congress by
the committee on Public Utilities
of the Progressive Economic Con-
ference.
The report, written by Donald
Richberg, Of Chicago. was made
public by Senator Norris (RO, OF
Nebraska, chairman of the con.
ference.
Regulation Broken Down
The report found that political
regulation of utilities had com
pletely broken down, and instead
of the Government controlling
them, they were dominating the
Government.
1--WE cannot regulate our reg
ulatOrs," the committee de-
clared. ut will not be possible
for our people to enjoy sus-
tained prosperity or a represen.
tative government as long as
they are compelled to pay an
increasing tribute to support
the corruption of public opin-
ion and the private control of
public offices.
"The recapture of public con.
troll Of all public business and
the elimination of any private
monopoly control of public nee.
essities are the gravest prob
lens that confront the Amer
lean people today"
Rail Ownership Asked
A far-reaching program Of pro.
gressive action" in dealing with
this problem proposed to Congress
by the committee, includes:
Cooperation of Federal and
State governments in building
and operating electrical power
plants to create standards of
service and rates which can be
used in regulating such utilities.
Construction Of a Govern
mcnt railway system for the
express purpose of improving
national transportation faciIi-
ties and fixing standards for
service and rates.
