tics and farming conditions.
Assemblyman S. E. Robinson
gave a brief but comprehensive &C
count of some Is of the 20 amend
rlents to appear on the November
ballot.
Judge A. c. Finney then spoke

ash sticks, some of which had
spikes or nails in them. He conf
mended the work of the police
and appealed for public support
TO maintain order.
Police dispersed a crowd that
tried to rush the doors of Maryle-
bone police court today for the
hearing of eight of those arrested
yesterday. Only one of the &C
cused was an out of town marcher.
Sir John said the truck con-
tanning the nailed sticks had &C
companied a Lancashire contin-
gent of hunger marchers which
passed through Brentford this
morning. Police confiscated the
truck. Another truck was confis-
Gated inside Hyde Park when po-
lice saw cudgels being unloaded.
1t was announced that the gov
eminent is introducing a bill in
parliament on November 8, miti-
eating somewhat the rigorous APP
plication of the means test. The
means test, by which applicants
for relief must prove their utter
dependence on the dole, is one of
the chief objects of the demonstra-
tons.
Petition Drawn
The governments bill was de-
cided on a week ago, but undoubt-
edly the conveyance of the march,
ers on London may somewhat in
fluence the decision.
George Lansbury, labor leader,
suggested that discussion of the
Ottawa tariff decisions be cur
tailed to permit the house of COM
mons to devote a day next week
to pooling ideas on the unemploy-
ment problem.
Meanwhile James McGovern,
labor member, drew up a petition
to the house pleading for a hear
ing for representatives of the hun
ger marchers. The petition read:
1--WE, unemployed workers repre-
sentative of thousands who marched
to London, desire to appear at the
bar of the house of commons to
plead for redress for the grievances
of 100000 fellow sufferers
throughout the land. We pray we
be given access to the bar on Nov
ember l to plead our cause"
The rioters arrested yesterday
were given various sentences in
court today ranging from small
fines to six months in prison. One
was acquitted.

Petition Filed In
Gresham Estate

Mrs. Mamie Gresham, widow of
John O. Gresham, today filed in
superior court a petition to have
the entire estate of Gresham as
signed to her as the widow, valu-
ing the separate estate at not more
than $500.
Considerable property held in
joint tenancy by Gresham and his
wife is not a part of the estate.
Mrs. Gresham filed a petition to
terminate the joint tenancy.
Gresham, well known pioneer
died at San Diego September 81.
His will may be probated at the
time set for hearing Mrs. Gresh-
ans petition. BY the will the en-
tire estate is left to her.

OSBORNE MAKES
STATEMENT ON
HIS CANDIDACY

In presenting myself as a candi-
date for supervisor in the second
district, I take this means of in
forming the voters regarding my
stand on certain matters in which
all of us should be vitality inter-
ested, and ask their serious consid-
Grafton of these matters before de-
Gliding how they will vote for SUI
pervisor on election day.
Tax Reduction
This is the most essential mat
ter requiring the attention of the
board of supervisors, and if elect
ed it shall receive my first and
full interest, and I shall make ev-
cry effort to bring it about as soon
as it is possible to do so.
Imperial county has an excep-
tionally high tax rate. There are
only seven other counties in the
state with a higher tax rate and
Imperial county is one of the ex-
tremely few which increased its
tax rate this year.
If the sincere desire to reduce
taxation exists, the board of super
visors can find a way to reduce it
and pledge myself to do my share
to bring this about.
Economy In Government
Certainly if economy of the most
severe type was ever justifiable in
our history, this is the proper time
for it. The board of supervisors
should not permit any expenditure
that can possibly be avoided and
should use every effort to insist
upon county officials operating
their various departments with &C.
onomy as their foremost idea
There are numerous places where
large and small expenditures can
be avoided and steps to do sc
should not be side-stepped.
Efficiency In Government
There is considerable overlapping
of authority and of duties in our
county government. / favor elm
nation of those who may be hold
ing down non-eSsential positions
by reason of political patronage
If the position is not necessary il
should not be filled merely to at
tract votes. No man should be
deprived of an honest job and nc
man should be permitted to fill q
dishonest job.
Road Districts
I believe more of our county
roads can be placed in good con-
dition for all seasons of the year by
better and more efficient dis
tribution of men and equipment
In fact I think the ideal situation
is to have one man at the head
of our county roads and it would
be my aim to work with the other
supervisors to bring this about, il
not by the abolishing of road dis
tricts at least by a consolidation
of men and equipment.
My Qualifications
1 have been resident of I'M
perial county for Is years. I am
taxpayer and know the taxpay-
er's problems; I have been and am
now a rancher and I know his
problems; 1 have been a business
man and 1 know that many of his
problems coincide with those of the
rancher. 1 make no pretenSe un-
desirable feature that may exist
in our county government, but
pledge the voters that it shall BIZ
my first and foremost aim to give
them an honest, conscientious ano
efficient service, if am elected
supervisor, the same as I woult
give to my own personal affairs
and on that basis your vote il
solicited and will be appreciated.

my dragged into such delicate situation, but that
if could help in any way to aid the Lndberghs to get
back their child would be only too glad to do and
would take any sacrifice upon myself that would aid to-
ward that end.
II wish the newspapers would print this request for me
that ask whoever has the child to communicate with
at the earliest possible opportunity either through
representative of the Lndbeghs through the Lind
berghs personally.
Nothing in the world would have brought into this
very delicate situation if did not know what it is to be
father-having children of my own-and if did not
know that the missing child is not only the child Of the
Lindberghs, but the child of America

Officially appointed by Colonel and Mrs.
