SLASH in ROAD
RATE PLEASING
TOFARM BUREAU

Qualification at the action of the
supervisors in reducing the county
road tax from 40 to II cents, was
expressed today by Scott B. Foulds,
secretary of the Imperial
County Farm Bureau.
THE farm bureau has been stu
dying tax affairs for some months
and we felt the road tax could be
entirely eliminated Foulds said.
However. in conference with the
supervisors it was finally decided
that reducing the tax this year and
possibly eliminating it next year,
would be the wiser course. The
supervisors did not wish to take the
step of entire elimination at this
time.
I'VE are now making a study of
unified road management for the
county and hope to have some
thing constructive in this line to
offer the county in the near future.
We feel that greater benefits will
result from a unified supervision
and with no deterioration of the
road system.
Under the circumstance, the
farm bureau feels that the super
visors did the best it possibly could
on the tax rate" Fould concluded.

ENGLAND FACING
SERIOUS CRISIS
IN GOVERNMENT

LONDON. Aug. 81. U.P)-Great
Britain marShalled her best minds
tonight in an effort to solve her
grave financial problem.
The cabinet, which has been in
almost constant session for several
days, was summoned hastily to Il
special session tonight.
The meeting was called after
hours of consultation at No. 10
Downing street between leading
members of the government and
representative of the Conservative
and Liberal parties.
The burden of the grave negotia-
tions. involving the seemingly hope
less task of finding S600000, 900 ad-
ditional revenue to run the country
next year, was mainly being borne
by Premier j. Ramsay Macdonald
and Philip Snowden, the crippled
chancellor of the exchequer, with
the financial wizardry OF the latter
strained to the utmost.
With the Socialist government
seemingly baffled by the problem,
no party was eager to take the en-
tire responsibility of meeting the
crisis. There was unofficial talk of
possible coalition government.
such as handled the country's at
fairs in the difficult days OF the
war. Such government would in
clude the leading men of the Social
lists, Conservatives and Liberals.

BRAWLEY MISSES
FINE CHANCE TO
GET SUPERVISOR

Brawley missed fir opportu-
nifty to sew up another strong sup
porter for redistricting yesterday.
and if this is read by the folks in
the northern city, Jack Rumsey may
be exiled to Mullet Island With
Captain Davis, for failing to do his
duty.
Jack was one of a fishing group
over in San Diego yesterday Bill
Clements, Burt Lemons and Super
visor Romeo c. Smith were on The
same boat.
Rumsey, Clements. Lemons and
others on the boat had a great days
sport, fishing. Mr.. Smith did not.
Mr.. Smith was sick. Mr.. Smith was
very sick. Mr.. Smith was SO darn
sick that Burt Lemons was looking
him over with a professional eye.
In the midst of Mr.. Smiths
agony, somebody suggested to Mr..
Rumsey that he step over to the su-
pervisor and try to sew him up on
this redistricting business. It's a
cinch. Jack" they told him. Get
Romie now and you can be king
of Brawley for the rest of your life.
Il came here to iish, not Play
politics" said Mr.. Rumsey.
Mr.. Smith recovered. Though a
little weak today he is certain he
will live.
But he realized the narrowness of
his escape and has turned down Of

Continued from page y

not regard such prohibited acts as
criminal except in a technical
sense.
However, the desirability of thus
reducing the burden imposed an
the taxpaying public by expendi-
lures for criminal justice will un-
doubtedly be determined in the
light Of views as to social consid-
erations with which we are not
concerned in this report"
The commission was concerned
over racketeering--the process OF
eXtorting money by threats from
legitimate and illegitimate business.
1t found that racketeering now is
probably the most profitable form
of crime and had come to peryade
a substantial part of the national
economic life"
Investigator Simpson reported to
the commission that 'the alliance
between racketeering and the ac-
tivities of certain labor unions is
reputed to be close"
Comprehensive investigation is
very difficult" Simpson continued
and would, indeed be highly dam
gerous to the Investigator. Never
theless such investigation is a task
which urgently needs to be carried
out.
The relationship between rae
keteering and ordinary business in
certain lines appears to have be-
come very close in some cases.
Another extremely disturbing
phase of the matter is the appar-
emily growing tendency toward ami
cable relationships, cemented by
bribery and graft, between organized
crime and public agencies charged
with the duty OF law enforcement.
"The cost of administering Grim
inal justice is relatively small in
comparison with other economic
losses to individuals and to the
community resulting from crime.

cense here several years agG Since
that time they have lived together
as man and wife. Recently some
doubt was cast on the validity Of
their union, and the woman want
ed to be sure.
The couple were never married
after procuring the license, but
thought it was sufficient. she eX-
planned. Leaving, she Old not in

Caeney a New Type

JAMES CAGNEY, an East Side boy
as it goes in Gotham, is the new
est comet in the screen universe to be
hailed as a planet. There must be a
reason, Of course, and Roy Del Ruth,
his director in Blonde Crazy" says it
is because "he is new type, mighty
sweet actor, who should be middle
weight boxer, but is not because he
wants to De. an actor. Watch him go!"
Cagney himself says: When was
kid on New York's East Side had to
keep my wits about me. Kids in that
neighborhood have to be on the job
to keep ahead of the pack. And that's
one of the reasons why don't forget.
Joan Blondell, wise her-
self, who plays with him, says he mas
a marvellous memory-he never forgets.
And she won a box Of hosiery from her
director by spripging test on Cagney
suddenly, In which he ran through an
entire scene of the Penny Arcade" with
her, in which they had played two years
before, without the slightest mint tnat
1t was to be sprung upon him.
So there are three reasons why James
Cagney is SO much talked about, and It
is doubtful if they are all. Jimmy mas
a real fair for his chosen protesslcn-

Yellow in Hard Luck

YELLOW is a color that has not
many friends, but it has seen
better days.
In our time and place the unfortu-
nate shade has been associated with
disreputable yellow streaks, yellow
journalism and the like, but once upon
time it was worshiped as almost
divine. 1t now lends itself to the title
OF Raoul Walsh's Fox dramatic pro-
duction, THE Yellow Ticket" now at
the Fox Theater.
In the ancient world, Assyria, Judea,
Egypt, Greece and Rome, yellow was a
favorite color of the gods and men.
1t still holds favor in the East. Only
Christian nations seem to dislike it
cordially.
Havelock Ellis, in an interesting
essay on this psychology of yellow, at
tempts to show how the tide toward
yellow changed with the arrival OF
Christianity. From being paid divine
honors it became the badge of envy
and treachery. In pictures Judas was
dressed in it; in France the doors OF
felons and traitors were painted with
1t, Jews were forced to wear yellow
clothes and in Spain recanting here
tics wore yellow crosses and carried
yellow candle.
