OFFICER WINS
BICYCLE RACE

Blasting his way down CONNER
cial street at d speed of at least
Is miles an hour, turning corners
on two wheels because there were
no more to turn on, Roy Dupont,
Ell Centro patrolman, last night
pedaled his way TO a victory over
Robert Cron, II, and arrested the
youth for petty theft at the end
of what is believed TO be Ell Cen
tro's first bicycle chase.
In police court this morning
Cron pleaded guilty to stealing one
bicycle, one blanket, three shirts
and several pairs of socks, all from
different residents, and was certi-
fled to the probation department as
a juvenile.
Dupont first noticed Cron riding
the stolen bicycle and carrying un-
der his arm the blanket, stolen
from Edward r. Nett at 1858 Olive,
the shirts stolen from M. E. Gran
dali at 1925 Olive, and the socks,
stolen no one knows where. Neither
the owner of the socks nor the own
er of the bicycle could be located.
The officer leaped onto his own
bike, used at night to patrol the
residence section. The chase waXed
hot, and so did the officer. His legs
were more fitted to the size of his
machine, however, and chase OF
four blocks finally found the cul-
prit brought to cover.
Quite exhausted by the gruelling
four block grind, Cron admitted
stealing the various articles, and
did his best to aid officers in To-
eating the various clothes lines from
which he took the clothing and
blanket

Fight Prohibition Budget

There will be a concerted effort upon the part of wet representatives to cut the appro- priaton for the enforcement of the prohbl' ton amendment wien Congress eonvenes for one of the last, i1 not actually the last. Iame.duek session in December Rep. Emanuel Celler, democrat of New York city. believes that spending money on proh' biton enforcement, is nothing more than throwing money in a bottomlcsS pit. We're inclined to think he's right. At any rate we hope that his recent letter to Rep Byrns. Tennessee democrat who is chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. will have some effect upon that body
 In l93l. according 10 Rep, Celler. the nG cost of dry law enforcement was over $40. 000,000. The total cost was in the neigbborhood of $50,000,000, but there were S4, 900, 900 collected in fines and pen altcs Continuing with his figures Rep. Celler stated that Tn l03 there were al- most 10000 jail or prison sentences for prohibition viola,ionS. Thus q jail stigma was placed on the families of these victims. Very likely this bar sinister covered more than 100000 persons. Had the infraetion of the law occurred one or two years later there would have been no jail sentence. Why brand so many people for doing that which in short period will be legally dis credited as q efimcl"
 And if we are to spend S5O,OO0,OO0 every year in enforcing an experiment why not devote similar amounts for other pur. poses just as noble and humanitarian as the l Eth amendment. What about smuggling of drugs and aliens into the nationi What about corruption in public ohiecs' Must we do or die for dear old Prohibtion' It seems slightly ridiculous that this one amendment to the Constitution should become SO vastly important to the future existence of the United States of America that it can spend S50,000, 900 ! year and at the end of that period find as much disregard for the law as ever
 We sincerely hope that when our legS. laloB troop down to Washington next De. eember they won't be imbucd with the spirit of Christmas to the extent they will permit $50.000,000 10 be retained for prohibition enforcement If they do then it is high time that our elective ofIieials in Washington were ushcrcd out of office and an entire new set put in their places. Let's tackle this problem of temperance from an entirely different viewpoint than sumptuafy legislation.

More Bpncombe

Senator Hiram A. Bingham should be sufficiently versed in the ways of mankind to know that Franklin D. Roosevelt. gover- nor of New York and democratic candidate Tor president doesn't have to trade on his name to win votes in the rapidly approach ing election However. Mr Bingham today ls ( politician before he is anything else. That no doubt explains his ridiculous abatement last week al Hamden ralyin the course of which he claimed that the New York gov efnor was trying to make the people of the Nonhwest believe that he is d close kin of the late Theodore Roosevelt
 fl it has come to the point where people believe that their relationship can win them eIeeiions then surely we ought lo scrap our system of putting men in office. But we place as little credcnce today ss we did some weeks igo when republicans made the same charge ss Senator Bingham does in the story. To us it sounds like republican propaganda, And the oiiener it is repeated the more convinced we are that those partymen of presiden; Hoover are adopting the very means to win an election which he apparently condemns in his campaign speeches.
 We can't quite conceive of Franklin D Roosevelt trying 10 inform any group of voters that he is anybody else than Franklin D. Roosevelt If Senator Bingham wants .o spread tales about Roosevelt eashing in on

Figures--and Space

Albert Ecinsiein's statement that the earth is probably o0,000,000 years old in. stead of the 3,000,0 100000 or 80 which scientists had usually accepted as ihe correct figure is one of those remarks that set the head of the layman spinning.
 Important as thc difference may be to sci. cnec. these figures are simply beyond ordl. nary human comprehension. They are like the light years which astronomiNs toss about so deltly; we cannot possibly realize their real magnitude. we have no way of measuring the tremendous distances they sig nily,
 And ycl-wc like to read about them, What Enstein or any other great scientist says about the age of the world or the con. Mruclon of the universe is of absorbing in- lcrest, even if we cant really understand it We share in Inc trlumphs of bc modern mind without eomprehending them

We wonder if rural property owners will jump at the opportunity that Superinien- dent Clark of the state board of fisheries and game gives them. He has just announced that such private property will be posted and patrolled by the state fl the owner in re. turn will give the board of fisheries and game the shooting rights thereon. Of course such rights would only be exchanged where a sizabIc raet of land could be obtained. As Mir Clark says 5000 acres or more is about what the state would need for such areas where the public would be allowed to hunt under certain regulations There are now in this state some public areas that have been obtained in similar fashion. But there never has been a public appeal before The idea is sound and should not be abused If the state does it's part We think it will with Supcrin- tcndent Clark to supervise.
