SPEAKER ELECTION
INTEREST INTENSE
g. O. P. and Democrats Are
Tied at 214 House Seats.
Garner Here.

With the presence in Washington
OF Minority Leader Jack Garner, in
terest grew more intense in the prospect
of his being elec ted Speaker OF the
House when Congress convenes.
AS the record now stands the Re-
publicans and Democrats are tied with
2l4 votes each, and one Farm-Labor
representative elected. However, the
Illinois Secretary of State has announc-
ed that when the court record is GER
titled to him he will issue another GER
tiflcate in favor of Stanley H. Kunz,
Democrat, and revoke the certificate
previously issued to Peter c. Granata,
Republican. The court has just de-
clared Kunz elected by majority Of
some 800 votes.
There is no disposition on the part
of the Governor or secretary Of State
to withhold the certificate OF election
from Mr.. KunZ, the Democrats say,
since the court has decided the con-
test. Lawyers in the Illinois delega-
ton, however. emphasized today that
even then there would be recourse to
mandamuS to force the issuance of the
certificate to Kunz.
If and when that certificate of cleo
ton is issued, automatically revoking
tIlC PlCNlOuS CGI " MI vi O.
nata, the score will stand 2l5 for the
Democrats and 213 for the Republic
ans, the Democratic leaders claim.
There are still six vacancies TO be
filled. These six districts have stood
four Republican and two Democratic.
They are: The seventh New York dis
trict, Democrat; the first Wisconsin,
Republican; the first Ohio, Republican; /;
the twentieth Ohio, Democrat: the
"t-hth Michigan, Republican, and the
secono pennsylvania. Republican. The
wisconsin district election is 10 be de-
sided on October 13, the nominations
having been made last Saturday. The
other five saseS will be decided In the
November elections. If these districts
remain as at present. electing four re-
publicanS and two Democrats, this score
would sand, Democrats, 217; Repub-
licans, 217, according to the Demo
cratic claims, but Democrats, 216, and
Republicans, 218. according to William
Tyler Page, clerk of the House.
Mr.. Page insists that the KunZ-
Granata contest is one of those con-
tested election cases for the House to
decide, which will drag through the
entire session. He says that the court
decision" merely represents the taking
of testimony before a justice Of the
peace, with 200 exceptions reserved
which will in no way vacate the certih-
cate of election previously issued to
Granata, but merely give Kunz an op-
portunity to prove to the House wheth-
er or not such certificate was improp-
erly issued.

EDUCATION

This column yesterday expressed re-
gret at the indifference displayed by the
average American citizen in connection
with school affairs.
We believe that statement to be
true, having observed through sever
al years the small number who vote in
school elections or who visit the schools
during the year outside Of public school
week
This indifference is not confined to
Imperial Valley but is noticeable else
where. The average American believes
he is doing his full duty when he sends
his children to school, and is inclined to
let it 90 at that. There Is an inference
even. that if the law did not compel him
to send the Youngsters to school, he
would not do it,
Foreigners often have keener appTe-
citation of the value of American eduea-
ton than is shown by native born citl-
zens. In proof of which we cite the case
of T. Chino. a Japanese celery shipper
over in Chula Vista.
Chino walked into the office of the
Chula Vista Building and Loan Assocla-
ton and said he was grateful for the fine
education his four children were recelV-
ing in the public schools He wanted to
do something more than express his ap-
probation, and wished to give tangible
evidence of it.
Taking a pen in fingers gnarled by
hard work, the little japanese made out
a check for 500 and offered it to the
building and loan manager to be given
to the schools.
Unfortunately, the school board cam
not legally accept the donation. How
ever. it will be put to good use, having

rags, hair from the tails of horses
and the like of that. It's too bad
automobiles don't have tails, isn't
it?'
"Ha! I never thought of that"
said MI. Longears. Why so?'
Well, you see" went on Red Rob-
in, perching on a tree branch with
his head cooked TO one side and
singing merrily, we birds like to
weave the loose hair from the tails
of horses into our nests. The hairs
make a soft lining for Our little
birds. But horses are getting very
scarce. There are so many auto
mobiles now that in a few years
there will be no more horses, I
fear"
Il have often thought that my
self" spoke Mr.. Longears.
And" went on Red Robin. 'if
there are no horses there will be no
tails. And if there are no tails
there will be no hair for our nests.
So I was thinking if they could put
tails on autos, nice, long tails with
plenty of hair, we would still have
soft Innings for our nests no matter
whether the horses disappeared or
not"
That's q very clever thought"
said Uncle Wiggily. Tails on autos !!
How odd! I suppose they wouldn't
need to switch their tails to keep
away the tickling flies, for flies
hn+lznT- toe Qrtf ntttr
had a nice, long horse tail and could
switch it about, how nicely each
auto could dust itself after a days
rum"
"Sayl That's jolly" laughed Red
Robin. I'VE must try and have that
done, Uncle Wiggily!"
Now, all this while, the Bob Cat
was standing on his head in the hol-
low stump with his silly little tail
sticking out. And on the end Of
his tail was tied a white rag torn
from the handkerchief of the Fox.
The Bob Cat had said he was going
TO play a trick on Uncle Wiggily.
THE trick" mewed the Bob Cat
to the Fox, will be that when the
rabbit sees the white rag on my
tail sticking out of the stump he
will think it is a Spring Flower.
He'll hop over OF pick it and I'll
catch him as easily as pie" That's
what the Bob Cat had said. Now
he was waiting for the trick to work.
II wish Uncle Wiggily and that
Red Robin would stop talking about
growing horse tails on autos, and
that he would come and pick the
Imperial Valley press., 1931-03-27

rag off my tall" whispered the
Bob Cat. I'm getting tired standing
on my head il this hollow stump
want to catch him!
Uncle Wiggily and the Robin went
on talking. Said the bird:
We'll, must be looking for some
thing to help start building my nest.
Hello, that looks like a nice white
rag over there!"
"Where?" asked the rabbit.
"On that hollow stumpl" chirped
Red Robin. Yes he went on, lit
is fine rag to weave into our nest
My wife will be glad of this. I'll
fly over and pick it up before l for
get it. Flying swiftly to the stump
Red Robin started to pick up the
rag In his beak. But he also got
hold of the Bob Cats tail around
which the rag was tied and the bird
nipped the Bob Cats silly little tail
very hard.
"Oh. WOW! Ouch. Oh, my tall
My tall" howled the Bob Cat and
out of the stump he jumped as fast
as he could and ran away.
Hal Hal" laughed Uncle Wig
gily. Fooled again. And you have
good rag for your nest, Red Rob-
in"
If the rubber ball will stop bounc-
ing on the head of cabbage ano
making the needle wink it's eye, II

and Kittie's catnip.

been turned over to the Parents-Teach-
ers' association.
Chino's' counterpart may be found
among many of his countrymen here in
Imperial Valley and among other ma
tionalities. The parents know they
themselves are deficient in education and
they are eager to give their children ev-
cry opportunity to improve themselves.
That is not strange. 1t is the same spirit
that characterized the American pio-
neers. They too fought and toiled that
their children might be educated.
We of a later generation, used to TAX
ing everything for granted, are the back
sliders. How many of US would willing
ly sit down and write out check to be
given to the school? The answer is 6 very
few. We are too busy complaining about
high taxes and the high cost of education.

HURRY UP, MARK

Friends and enemies of Mark Rose, di-
rector of the Imperial Irrigation District,
have expressed equal regret upon learn
ing that he is confined to hospital bed
following an emergency operation for
appendicitis.
Reports from the hospital indicate that
he will not be confined there long, the
operation having been successful and a
quick recovery anticipated.
Mark has hundreds of friends in all
parts of the valley, and the enemies he
has made are mostly political, who may
oppose his policies but like and respect
him as man.
The Press has fought with him and
against him on many occasions and ex-
poets to have the opportunity of doing
the same thing through many years to
come. Mark has our sincere hopes for a
speedy and complete recovery.

Hundreds of dollars are saved
for the school by building buses
and bodies. for busses in the Gen.
tral shop by students under the di-
rection of S. E. Allen, shop instruct
or and manager of Centrars prob
lem of transportation.
BY buying chassis and building
bodies, more than SO per cent is
saved on the body cost. On the
last body built IN the shop, $1,000
was saved in this manner.
Five years ago the No. 3 bus was
built over in the shop for the total
sum of 5000. The col of this bus
if it had been bought, would have
been $500. This bus has been in
constant use for the last five years,
and is good for two years more.
The buses are finished entirely
in the shop. All the wood work,
painting, sheet metal work, and iron
forging is done by the pupils who
are in the shop classes.
All repair work is done in the
shops also. mot more than S2s
worth of repair work has been
sent out in the last 10 years" says
Allen.
Owing to the fact that so much
money is saved by the building and
doing the repair work in the shop,
CentrsTs transportation costs are
kept to a minimum. The cost is one
of the lowest in the state for schools
of Central's class.
No accidents have occurred in the
last u years TO the Central busses.
Allen attributes this fact to the
strict regulations regarding speed
and the hiring of Junior college
boys as drivers. The jaycees are
inclined to be older, more mature,
and careful. Due to the fact that

Increased shipments of hay from
Imperial Valley at better prices, are
noted in this weeks federal mar

The heavy increase in truck

quality alfalfa at Sll per ton. Fur
thcr reports indicate all hay is be-
ing sold and practically none stack
ed. Eastern movement is reported
light but from present indications
there, shipments will increase.
