districts against the district attor-
neys of the various counties. Al
though the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict is not party to the suits. the
decision vitally affects Imperial
Valley. Charles L. Childers, chief
counsel for the local district, is as
sociated in the cases as amici
curiae, legal term meaning friend
of the court.
The suits asked to have county
and state taxes cancelled when land
is sold for irrigation district taxes,
claiming a prior right for these as
sessments. The district attorneys
office of this county joined Los An
geles in submitting briefs in the
original cases, which were decided
by the supreme court adversely to
the counties.
Replies Awaited
A motion for rehearing was
granted, however, and oral argu-
ments were made before the court
May 4. The counties were given 80
days in which to submit briefs, and
the irrigation districts 80 more days
to submit reply briefs. The reply
briefs now are being awaited.
In discussing the cases yesterday
afternoon, McCrory pointed out
that one argument made in the re-
Gently submitted county briefs is
that property owner within an
irrigation district, by allowing his
property to go delinquent for three
years and having it sold by the ir-
rigation district, may cancel all
general taxes. Later he can take
up the irrigation district delin-
quency and obtain his property,
thus defeating entirely the county
and state taxes.
1t may readily be seen, McCrory
declared, that such situation
might soon result in crippling the
county and state. If the supreme
court does not reverse it's first de-
cision. he asserted, the legislature
may be forced, as protective
measure, to repeal the law and
enact another. Should this come
about, McCrory said, changes may
be so drastic as to place the irri-
cation districts in a decidedly un-
desirable position.

BORAH AGAIN is
URGED TO LEAD
DRYS' TICKET
Leigh Colvin Resigns From
Board of Strategy in
Stormy Session.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, July Is. - DR..
Leigh Colvin. chairman of the ma
tional Prohibition party. renewed
his efforts today to induce Senator
William E. Borah Of Idaho to head
dry third party movement.
Colvin resigned from the national
prohibition board of strategy, dis
satisfied with the course it charted
for the leading dry organizations in
the election campaign.
The board in a stormy session
dismissed the third party idea.
Borah gave little encouragement
to Colvin, although withholding his
formal decision for a few days.
He indicated he would respond to
a third party call only if there we're
a moral uprising" of the people.
Aside from Colvin's fiare-up, the
chief dispute in the prohibition
boards final session was on the
question of directly indorsing Presi-
dent Hoover for reelection.
One minority group wanted the
dry organizations to come out for
him fatty.
Another proposed to withhold any
declaration until after Mr.. Hoover
makes his acceptance speech.
The majority, however. held out
against a direct Endorsement.

NTASHINGTON, July 10
w Padding of the congressional
record is costing about $4,000
day in the final rush to get polit-
ical propaganda printed at gov
eminent expense.
About thirty-f1ve pages in each
issue of the congressional record
now are given over to reprinting
outside speeches, letters to and
from constituents, addresses by
emminent citizens, and small type
tables on everything from war
debts to the cost Of Canadian
bungalow siding.
Most of it has no connection
whatever with the proceedings of
congress.
Senators and congressman, by
obtaining unanimous consent,
can have anything printed in the
congressional record-and do.
In one volume of the record can
be found almost anything except
comic strips. Illustrations are
forbidden.
Anything printed in the record
can be reprinted and set out as
campaign literature under the
congressional franking privilege.
Even political candidates not
in congress may have their
speeches inserted in the con-
gressional record, and sent out
from under the frank of some
friendly senator or congressman.
Several senators condemned the
practice when an attempt was
made to insert political speech by
War Secretary Patrick Hurley.
They pointed out that the con-
gressional record cost $50 a page.
Congressional printing is large
item in the expense of the gov
eminent printing office-which
uses total of 1900 carloads of
material every year. This is the
equivalent of loaded train ten
miles long.
No one has figured up how
many wastebaSkets are required to
hold this output when 1t is thrown
away by the voters.

what is the first thing l must do
to learn to swim?" prospective stu
dent of The Times-Ripple Learn to-
swim week asked today.
The Times relayed the question to
Bill TomliSon and Monty Mont
gomery, instructors of the school
and they sent back this answer ::
Throw away your water-wingS,
tubes and floats, and don't be afraid
of getting water in your ears. Forget
all about the water. Water fear is
the principle cause of drownings
and we shall attempt to build up
your courage as well as teach you
the fundamental strokes of swim
ming"
Thus Tomlison and Montgomery
sum up the purpose of Learn-to-
swim week. The Times and Broad
Ripple want TO give you free start
in swimming which some day may
save your life or that of some per-
son you may be able to rescue.
If you have one arm and one leg
and attend the six sessions of the
Learn-to-swim week, the instruction
staff guarantees that you will swim
OF course you must practice and
follow all the necessary exercises to
perfect your rhythm.
Preliminary enrollments for the

fast. Every one Is eligible.
