What Will It Mean To You?

What will the New Year now dawning mean to you?
 The answer for most of us is clear. The New Year will mean precisely what we make it.
 More than ever before, per haps, the year on which We are about to enter hangs up- on initiative, endeavor and shrewdness.
 The time is past when mer may play fast and loose with their business or their work The time for reckless expend. iture and loose dealing is past. The time when the competition for labor was such that "any- thing went" is over.
 Next year there will be busi- ness in fair proportions for all, but there will be closer mar gins, keener competition and net profits only for those who economiZe all along the line there will be dividends for those who save and disaster for those who waste.
 We believe that business and industry will recuperate to the extent that there will be work and fair wages for the con- scientious workman, and hard times and unemployment for those who are careless or lazy.
 We have reached time where profits will be made by those who can combine small profits on individual sales with volume; there will be work for those who can and do produce more for their pay. Such conditions are natural re- suits of the times we are pass ing through and bring out the best there is in men. And we believe that in the end they will leave the country more soundly prosperous than when so-called "good-times" make men careless, reckless, lazy,

Congress Facing
 Many Problems

Seldom before in late years has Congress been confront ed with such an array of really vital problems as i. the present session. And il may also be said that seldom before in it's history has the national assembly been com posed of representatives who were less capable of grappling with the tremendous and far. .eaching problems which vii: confront the present session. A list of the subjects upo1 which immediate or early de cisions will be required in, dudes the following:
 The question of higher taxes to meet the huge deficit caus- ed by shrinking revenues.
 The question of leaving un- employment relief to private solution or to include the fed eral government in its solution.
 The question of supporting )r rejecting the presidents policy of close cooperation with Europe in dealing with war debts and reparations difficulties arising out of the Hoover moratorium.
 The question of supporting Hoover's agreement with Pre- mier Laval respecting the re- adjustment of war debts, pro- 7ided the allied powers reduce German separations.
 The enactment of a program )I Ilnanclal ana banking leg station which will expand re- lief to business and make the banking system more flexible :; program involving funda- mental alterations in the fed eral reserve rediscount system.
 The question of whether or not to permit a test vote on prohibition.
 The nation awaits a resolu- tion of these questions with a degree of interest seldom felt by the mass of the American people toward public issues.

 The result will also mean cheaper goods for the masses and good profits and steady work for those who know how to take advantage of the cir cumstances of the moment.

BROCKMAN BATTLE AGAINST
RECALL STARTED IN COURT

c. w. Brockman's battle against
a recall election in Subdivision One
of the Imperial Irrigation district
this morning brought out in su-
perior court all the heated conflict
of legal opinions expressed by OPP
posing attorneys, and representa-
tives of the district this afternoon
were laying careful plans to COM
bat the weight of arguments put
forward this morning by Hugh S.
Mackinnon, attorney for Brockman.
Three contentious, intended to
hem in attorneys for the district,
were advanced by Mackinnon in
support of Brockman's plea for an
injunction restraining the district
from holding a recall election in
his subdivision. They were:
/. That signatures on the recall
petition against Brockman are in
sufficient to justify an election,
since the election will be held in e
district considerably larger than
that which elected him.
2. That there can be no recall
election for Brockman until there
has been a general election in the
revised subdivision which he now
represents, since irrigation district

PARTY LEADERS
COOPERATING TO
REFLECT HOOVER
Realize Jobs Will Be No
More If President Loses
Out In November.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 90. UP
The political unpopularity of Pres
ident Hoover in some sections is
reacting Unexpectedly to help his
campaign prospects, according to
information coming to this writer.
This i'll wind IS blowing some
good in the Presidents direction be-
cause of the predicament in which
it has placed state and local Re-
publican politicians. Their first in
stinct is to look out for themselves.
They are beginning to realize they
are in danger of being swept out
of office in a general housecleaning
if they let the country turn Mr..
Hoover down.
Therefore they are saying if the
party is going to win national and
state elections next fall, if the
thousands of Republican jobholders
are to keep their jobs, everyone
will have to get out and boost the
national ticket instead of criticiz-
! ing it.
In presidential elections it is the
rule that the state ticket tends to
follow the presidential ticket. This
year, it may be that in many states,
the local tickets will try to pull the
| national ticket That is the view
taken by numerous politicians out
in the country.
Nevertheless many Hoover con-
vention delegates will be unin-
structed. One reason in some places
is that candidates for delegate, run
ming pledged. might have greater
opposition than if they went unin-
structed. One Minnesota Republi-
can leader told this writer that it
would be unwise to attempt to put
through an instructed delegation
there because of hostile feeling
toward the administration.
New Jersey and Pennsylvania Re-
publican organizations are planning
to set up uninstructed but pro-
Hoover candidates for delegate.
The regular Republican organiza-
ton in one Wisconsin district has
decided in favor of a Hoover
but uninstructed delegation.
In North Dakota the regular Re-
publicans have decided in favor of
slate of Hoover delegates, op-
enly committed. The other wing,
headed by Senator's Nye and Fra
zier, have decided upon an unin-
Structed slate.
All of these early moves confirm
the opinion of politicians in both
parties that Mr. Hoover will be
nominated on the first ballot. The
more significant thing is that, know
ing now the Hoover ticket is in for
hard fight. Republican workers
out in the country are becoming
impressed with the advisability of
suppressing defeatist talk.

SHANGHAI, Jan. 29.-An armis-

Shanghai tonight, but soon there?
after japanese plane bombed an
American missionary institution, the
Young-Allen Memorial home.
Authorities who had effected the
cessation of hostilities hoped this
incident would prove an uninten-
tional violation of the armistice
agreement; and were proceeding on
the theory that the truce in mill
tary operations would remain ef-
fective.
The lull in the fighting which
has been going on for % hours in
Chapel, the native quarter, brought
no relief from their terror to the
helpless men, women and children
of the burning city.
The night was Illuminated by the
flaming houses of the close packed
district. japanese planes from the
fleet of 35 japanese warshipS in
the harbor had dropped scores of
bombs on the defenseless city, kill
ing and injuring an undetermined
number of Chinese. 1t was impos-
sible to estimate accurately the
casualties from the bombings and
the fierce fighting between Chinese
and Japanese troops.
Because of the dense population

centage on 200 tons of fish hauled,
he did not do so, according to the
complaint.

BURKHART IS
EXECUTED AT
STATE PRISON

FOLSOM PRISON, Jan. 90. U.P)
William Burkhart, 81, Los Angeles,
died today on the gallows for the
murder of his divorced wife, Ann
Mcknight Burkhart, former movie
actress, two years ago
The traps was sprung at 1890
a. M, and Burkhart was pronounced
dead 13 minutes later.
Burkhart's execution, the fifth at
Folsom prison during the admins
tration of Governor Rolph, cli-
NAKED long fight to save his life.
Seven times he had been granted
a reprieve by the governor, three
of which were on the very eve of
the scheduled hanging.
This Week the state supreme
court refused to review the case
again, and Governor Rolph de-
clared he was unable to grant fur
ther clemency in the case.
Burkhart wrote only two letters
during his last hours in the death
cell, one to his mother, Mrs. Sarah
Burkhart, Los Angeles, the other to
his sister, Mrs. Carl Dean of Holly

3. That no recall election can be
held until Brockman has held Of
flee in the revised subdivision foi
at least six months. The law also
provides no elective officer shall be
recalled within six months after
taking office, and defense attor-
neyS contend Brockman has noI
held office in the revised subdi-
vision for six months, since the re-
vision was not made until Oceober
81 last year.
A great part of the court ses-
sion this morning, with both Judge
A. c. Finney and Judge Vaughn N
Thompson presiding, was taken up
with arguments between Mackin-
non and Charles l.. Childers, chief
counsel for the district, regarding
jurisdiction of the superior court to
hear and pass upon motion for
an injunction to halt the election
at this time.
Childers contended the matter
should have been taken up in su-
perior court before the board OF
directors of the district authorized
the election, and is irregular at
this time. He hurled inferred
charges the action was taken
merely to impede the progress of
the election, saying: 1T simply is
not good faith
Harry Horton, associated with
Mackinnon in Brockman's cause
heckled Childers with questions re-
garding just what he meant by the
matter of jurisdiction, and what
his objections were.
Mackinnon replied to the charges
of bad faith with a statement that
I'VE do not want to cause any dis
tulbance, nor interfere with any
elections. We are willing to &c
ahead with trial of this matter as
soon as possible"
The election, if held, would be
