SCOUTS ANNUAL
MEETING TO BE
HELD TONIGHT

Starting off the campaign for
funds for the Imperial-Yuma Boy
Scout council, the annual meeting
will be held tonight at 6:30 in the
Ten Thousand club, with E. B.
DeGroot, nationally known boys
leader as the principal speaker.
Leading valley citizens who are
interested in boys work will be
present for dinner which will be
served at 6:30 with an excellent
and constructive program to
follow.
Several valley speakers Of note
will also speak in behalf Of
scouting, and plans for the cam
paign will be discussed.
DeGroot is chairman Of the
boys work committee for Rotary
International and has been one OF
the pioneers in playground and
juvenile recreation and educational
movements in the United States.
He is an interesting speaker and
has a real message for men re-
garding the boys who look to them
for inspiration.
According to Harold Lounsbury,
Scout executive, those VINO are
unable to attend the dinner. but
who wish to hear DeGroot and the
other speakers, will be welcome to
attend the meeting.
The Boy Scou5 movement, which
is at present celebrating its
twenty-second anniversary, is rec
ognized as one of the greatest in
stitutions in the country for assur-
ing the making of future good
citizens. Church and educational
leaders, presidents, governors and
numerous other officials have en-
dorSed the work which the Boy
Scouts are doing.
In Imperial Valley, the Boy
Scout movement has long been con-
sidered an absolute essential for
the youth of this community. With
the field for juvenile energy neces-
sarily limited because of geographic
conditions, the need for proper
direction Of juvenile activities has
been recognized by leaders and
those with an interest in youth.
Because of stringent conditions
N business, the budget for the
Scout council has been pared to
the bone and every needless ex-
pense has been eliminated, ac-
cording to Lounsbury. The cam
paign for funds will need the full
cooperation of all if it is to be a
success, he states, and an urgent

lished; but certainly two separate taxing agencies do not help the city to solve it's general problem. It is not responsible and efficient gov ernment, from the point of view of the taxpayer or of the administra- ton of the government itself. Gen. tralized responsibility for taxation and expenditure with adequate budget shaking, has much to rec ommend it.
 Philadelphia has a good charter by which to govern itself, and 1t has demonstrated on various occa- sions to those in political control of it's affairs that it wants efficien, business like governmen. When ever his has been attained, it has been the citizen himself who be- came sufficiently interested in his local affairs to protest-sometimes directly, as by the taxpayers strike, and sometimes just as directly by recording vote in the ballot-box- and to give power to those who have the understanding, the abil- ity and the courage to tackle the affairs of the citys government as they would those of a corporation which had been thrown into con- fusion by bad management"

DON'T QUOTE ME

Washington, Dec (UP)-A yolunfinous book the size of a New York telephone directory contains the financial record of the United States government and its falGf flung interests. Arrayed in column after column of figures are the processes by which the administration hopes to approach a balanced budget,
 The mass of figures yields fto the imaginative a picture of the tremendous activity and scope of the government. From provisions for battleship or cruiser corlstruc- tion, the reader may jump to the picture of a lonely federal worker toiling along an Alaskan trail (sal- ary, $1344) or a ditch. rider going his solitary way (salary S10S0) on one of the great irrigation pro- jects of the west.
 The budget fof 1884, incidentally, eliminated by way of reducing ex- penses previous provision for. an Irrigation ditcher rider with two horses. The program substituted a ditch rider with one horse ($150O) while the riders who don't own their own mounts get less.
