Senator George Norris of Nebraska,
outstanding progressive of the ma
ton in this issue of Labor, sums up
Watson's record in the following
words
Mr.. Watson, as you all know -
lis senator from the state of In
diana. Before he became a senator,
he used to be a lobbyist, represent
ing some of the great corporations
which were seeking legislative favors
from congress.
Il presume his former masters are
better satisfied with his work in the
senate than they were with his work
outside of congress.
THE people of Indiana are as fine
a people as live anywhere, but they
certainly perpetrated a gigantic joke
upon the country at large when they
sent Jimmy Watson to the United
States Senate"
In this county they feel that the
joke has been carried far enough.

them lie. His secretary surely would
gfoan when he got back with all
that mail.
Asper grinned as he clamped
down tighter on his cigar. He was
remembering what he had told the
neat and orderly Parsons, his secre-
tary. the night he left.
Three days and he'd be back.
Parsons would be a nervous wreck
by this time Twenty of the twenty
four kilograms on the desk were
from him.
Asper eased himself little deeper
into his chair and prepared TO light
another stogy. A window at his
back creaked and a swish of wind
struck his neck.
Asper twisted around to see what
was wrong. With startled grunt
he brought his feet heavily to the
floor. Stanley Ball was facing him
a six gun balancing lightly in his
hand

A Bitter Joke

.TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Nov. l.
Il The greatest handicap With
which both President Hoover and
Senator James E. Watson have to
contend in this county, Vigo, is the
bitter opposition of union labor.
Although organized labor, through
the American Federation, is on rec
ord against the two, it is probably
most effective in this community,
the population of which is, in large
measure, either directly or indi-
rectly, affected by the opinions and
conditions of the railroad workers.
The great rail brotherhoods are
waging a strong campaign against
the two G.. O. P. leaders.
Representatives of the national
offices of these great and strong
unions are bending every effort to
defeat Watson here.
They point to his record as an
opponent of labor legislation and a
leader of reactionarieS, especially in
the vote on the appointment of
Federal Judge John ]. Parker of
North Carolina, Of yellow dog con-
tract" and injunction" notoriety,
to the supreme court.
Recognized as the foe of organ
lied labor, liberalism, and the Ne
gro, Parker's name was recon-
mended by Hoover to the senate for
confirmation as a supreme court
judge.
Watson led the fight in his be-
half AS this was the bitterest bat
tie in the recent history of organized
labor, his sin is not forgiven.
Besides this, the railroaders are
bitterly opposed to prohibition.
Their attitude on this question is
that of a crusade and Watson's half
wet and half dry stand and Hoo
ver's maybe yes, maybe no" atti-
tude also react against them. The
fact that the two have been recon-
mended by the Anti-Saloon League
gives them black eye here.
On the other hand, Frederick Van
Mugs, Democratic senatorial nomi-
nee, is Endorsed enthusiastically by
the state federation, the national
federation, and the rail brother
hoods. The opposition of the dry
league also reacts in his favor.
Probably the hardest blow struck
at Watson is the circulation of So
600 copies of the weekly organ of

when Dona is able to move, well
co. he told himself grimly. Might
as well admit it when you're beaten
and give up"
He barely had missed several
tragedies because of his stubborn
desire to beat a young cowpuncher
at his own game.
Asper settled back and lighted a
black cigar. He pulled on it medi-
tatively for a few minutes. If he
had stayed home, Dona never would
have married a sap like Winters.
She would have been too busy
with the other youngsters that al
ways were dashing in. There was
that fellow who had saved her from
the kidnapers. He would have di-
verted her mind from Dudley if
Asper had waited and found him.
The old timber king grunted and
elevated his feet to the top Of the
desk. A handful Of unopened let
tiers slid to the floor and he let

Asper gritted, his anger swelling
suddenly.

what the Delo Timber Company

from the man who had played her
false.
Had a fine ride" said Dudley as
he pinched her cheek. Sorry to
be so late, but I just can't get
cough of these hills"
Wen come back" Dona said
softly. And stay all one sum-
mer."
Dudley nodded absently. "Guess
I'll slip out and take a shower
I'll be back and have a round with
you this evening until you run me
out"
Dona released his hand. "Come
a-running," she called after him.
IRON the porch Asper was peer
l. ing into the sunset. 1t was
plainly too late for him to ride out.
He talked about Swergin, but no
one had seen him.
Slowly, Asper returned to his Of
fee. He sat down at the desk he
used while in camp. Mail was
stacked unopened on it and a scat
tering of kilograms, delivered from
Seth Dobys, lay on the desk.
Asper paved over the mail, then
showed it aside. He would have to
get out of Three Rivers or his bust
ness would get months behind.

CHAPTER FORTY- TWO

A SPER DELO fumed and fused
IA around camp. He could not
leave and he could not get in
touch with SWergin.
The timber boss had vanished
completely, and Dudley was off on
a Jaunt into the hills. Dona could
not be trusted TO stay in bed, where
she bcA0nged, without some one
around to make her remember the
doctors orders.
The doctor had promised her she
could sit up the next day on the
porch. Dona was certain they were
just being extra nice to her.
When she had been a long-legged
kid, she had been thrown from every
horse in camp, and never had gone
to bed.
Asper tramped down to the cor
rails to be met by the grinning
assistant corral boy. where's NAL

boy answered.
When is he coming back, If
ever?' Asper rumbled

up the hill again. If Dudley would
only come in, he could ride out and
: look around bit.
Swergin, more than likely, had
gotten himself plugged by Ball-he
was about that much good as a
man hunter.
Up at the Office building Asper sat
down to wait as calmly as he could.
Dona awoke and called to him. His
smile as he entered her room was
forced, but it passed unnoticed by
his daughter.
Dad, ] must talk to you about
this lumber business" Dona greeted
him.
Asper chucked her under the chin.

young lady. When you are sitting

"A DAY
81 BRUCE CATION

MEDICAL quackery is a hardy
1V1 growth. The freakish nos
trums and superstitions of the dark
ages have pretty we'll vanished, to
be sure, but there are plenty of
modern imbecilities to take their
place.
For the human being Graves mir
acles, and since he often fails to
understand the real miracles which
medical science has accomplished,
he goes thirsting after the pseudo
miracles of the takers; and there
are plenty of takers, these days, to
take care Of him.
DR.. Morris FiShbein. editor of the
Journal of the American Medical
Association, and author of The
Times daily health column, dis
cusses all these things in "Fads and
Quackery in Healing" a new book
which ought to have place in
every home.
1t is DR.. Fishbein'S delight to ex-
pose charlatans, and the modern
world surely has provided him with
plenty of targets.
He tells here the surprising tale
of Abrams and his oscilloclast; of
the varied cults of faith healing
found in our land; of the true in
wardness of chiropractic science;
of the origin of osteopathy, and it's
scientific standing; of the DOZEN
and-one varieties of naturopaths; of
the diet faddistS, the physical Gull
ture faddists, the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
and the rejuvenationistS and so on,
until your brain spins with astonish-
ment.
Always, of course, he is authorita-
tive. He is, SO to speak, the official
mouthpiece of medical science; and
he is a very readable one and an
extremely valuable one.

Prefacing the recommendation
with the comment that g study
of statutes had revealed the prac-
tical impossibility of convicting
any officer or employee OF Tie I'm
perial Irrigation District of I'M
lawfully disposing of public money,
the 1882 county grand jury in a
final report submitted to Judge
Vaughn N. Thompson late yester-
Gay recommended revision of the
California Irrigation District law
making it possible to hold the Of
ficers and employees of the district
legally responsible for their meth
DDS in handling public funds.
Expectantly awaited for several
days, the final report contained
singing comments on the busi-
ness procedure of the district.
Following the filing of the report,
Judge Thompson dismissed the
grand jury from service, to make
way for another which probably
will be chosen Wednesday. The
report was filed after 6 o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
Although touching upon other
matters which have been investi-
gated by the grand jury during
the past year, the bulk Of the 26-

page report was devoted to the
Imperial Irrigation District.
Tht entire section devoted to
the district comes to head in the
recommendations to the 1888 grand
jury that it, in turn, recommend
to the state legislature changes in
the irrigation district law making
it possible to place responsibility
for disbursements on one or more
officials.
Following upon the earlier state
ment that hundreds of thousands
of dollars of taxpayers money has
been spent by district officials on
the barest demands, the report
recommended, that in the last an
Glysis the treasurer of the Imper-
ial Irrigation District be made abb
solutely liable and responsible for
all money spent and for the dis
bursement of said money according
to law and that proper penal
punishment be prescribed for fall
ure to do So"
Contrasting the disbursement of
public money by the two most i'm
portant governmental agencies of
the county, the irrigation district
and the county government, the
grand jury found that county
funds are disbursed only after the
most careful scrutiny of demands
and warrants, and after the de-
nands had been properly sworn
to and checked against receipts;
whereas the district money often
is expended on warrants not even
sworn to or signed by the person
to whom the money is paid.
I'm view of the fact that monies
expended by the irrigation district
are public funds" said the report,
land should be accounted for in
the same manner that public
funds of the county are accounted
for, the grand jury was unable to
approve such a loose, inadequate
and unbusinesslike method of dis
posing of public money as they
found in use by the irrigation dis
trict in this regard"
After reviewing the preliminary
SldIlu july ICpOl1 COllOdilhAi6 uii
audit of district expenditures
which now is history, the final
grand jury report came to legis-
lation covering the conduct of ir-
rigation districts, and especially
the Imperial Irrigation District.
A study has revealed, the re-
port said, that the law as it now
is gives the district board of di-
rectors the widest possible powers
in expenditure of public funds, au-
thorizing that board virtually to
do anything it deems expedient to
fulfill the purposes for which the
district was formed, without plac-
ing on the board any regulations
as to how these funds shall be dis
bursed.

New Suit Filed
In Theatre War

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4. U.P)-
On the heels of three recent &C
tions against motion picture pro-
ducers and the Fox-WeSt Coast
Theatres, which charged viola
ton of the federal antitrust laws,
two Burbank theatres today had
sued practically all the film distrib-
uting agencies of Los Angeles for
$l63, 1886, alleging similar violations.
Bern G. and Neva H. Richard
son, are plaintiffs in the present
action, filed in superior court,
which charged that the distribut-
ing agencies conspired with A. F.
Minor, operator of another Bur-
bank theatre, to bring about ex-
elusive showing Of films in his
shoWhouse.
Although the Richardson's have
offered to pay cash for the films,
and the defendants have plenty of
films to distribute, they have been
unable to get them or to rent the
theatre, the complaint related.
Actual damages was placed by
the Richardson's at $81 ,96750, and
they demand twice this amount
under state antitrust laws.
Previous suits against producers,
were filed by Glendale and Long
Beach theatres in federal court.

EXPECT 10000
VOTERS ELIGIBLE
FOR NOVEMBER s

That Imperial county's possible
vote at the November 8 general
election will exceed 10000 was the
possibility today as late registra-
ton books were expected at the
county clerks office.
Another figure of the registra-
ton gave Ell Centre an undeter-
mined lead over Brawley in the
number of voters registered. The
exact size of the lead will not be
fully determined for several days,
but it probably will reach about
400.
Clarence Hinderks, chief deputy
county clerk, said yesterday after
noon that new registrations, in
Guiding transfers, have reached a
total of 1850. BY deducting the
number of transfers and adding
this to 1882, the former registra-
tons, the county's total may be
reached.
However, the number of trans
fers will not be known until Off
Gals begin sorting the registration
certificates and getting the books
into order. Late yesterday several
books were still out at Brawley.
1t will be several days before
figures are complete, Hinderks
said.

COUNTY-STATE
TAXES DUE ON
NOVEMBER lST

First installment of the 1928
state and county taxes will be due
and payable the first day of Nov
ember, according to Mont j. Reid,
county tax collector.
The first installment of taxes
will become delinquent on Deem
Der at 5 o'clock and a 10 per
cent penalty will be added to all
unpaid first installments.
Second installment of state and
county taxes will be due and pay
able the first day of January, 1888
and if not paid prior to April 20,
a per cent penalty will be added.
Reid states that many people
do not understand that this per
cent penalty applies also to the
first installment as well as the Sec
ond installment, if the first in
stallment is unpaid at the time
the second inStallment becomes
delinquent.
In order that the overhead of
his office may be cut down to a
minimum, Reid states that the CO.
operation of the public in the fol-
lowing items will be greatly appre-
ciated by the office and will aid
materially in reducing expendi-
lures.
Taxpayers are asked to be more
careful Of their tax statements
and urged not to throw them away
and to forget when taxes are due
and the amounts due, thus making
it necessary for the tax collectors
office to issue duplicate state
mentS.
Taxpayers are asked to bring
their statements with them when
they come to the office to pay
taxes as this will save time and
labor and avoid the necessity of
looking up the statements at the
time of payment. Those who re-
NIT by mail are asked to enclose
their statements with the remit
lance. If these requests are car
ried out, the tax collectors office
will be greatly aided.
