Now that first speculation over the suc- cessor to Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes has subsided, pressure is being brought to bear from many sections of the nation upon President Hoover We imagine he will lose many an hour of sleep trying to figure out how he can please all by bis appointment to the supreme court bench. Of course he cant do that, as there IS no such outstanding judicial figure as Chief Justice Hughes or the late William Howard Taft. Even the appointment of as great jurist as Hughes occasloned senatorial debate. However, the
 list of eligibles, now that Messrs Coolidge. Davis and Baker are eliminated is lengthy. We eliminate the above three purely for political reasons. Left are Chief Justice Ar thur P. Rugg of the Massachusetts supreme court; Representative James M. Beck of Pennsylvania; Senator Walsh of Montana; James R. Garfield of Ohio: Senator George of Georgia; Representative Ramseyer of Iowa Representative Kitchener of Michi- gan; Chief Justice CardoZo of the New York state court of appeals Federal Judge Phillips of New Mexico; Judge Atwood of the Missouri state supreme court; Federal Judge Lindey of Illinois; Federal Judge James of California; Supreme Court Justice Stacy of North Carolina; Federal Judge Sbley of Georgia: Federal Judge Gardner of South Dakota; Supreme Court Justice Field of Massachusetts; Attorney Lang worthy of Kansas; Federal Judge Groner of Virginia.

BOOK PUBLISHER

Editor of the Democrat:

Editor of the Democrat:
 Will you inform your readers that the injunction against "The Strange Career of Mir Hoover Un- der Two Flags" which you noticed in your issue of December 17th, 1881, has been vacated by the same court.
 May I protest through your col umns against the unfairness of sev- eral newspapers in the state of Connecticut which have attempted to attack my publication by citing the fact that the publisher has Il long criminal record. It may interest your readers to know that this long criminal rec ord consists of three decisions ob- tained against me in the courts for violations during the course of my career as a publisher, as serious as those granted against people who are caught splitting in a pub lie subway.
 would compare my criminal record with that of any editor In your state whenever they would like to have 1t out with me. Very truly yours SAMUEL ROTH. William Faro, Inc, New York City.

If the House votes an impeachment in- vestigation of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon (and it's quite unlkely) the fre- works will begin.

 The government will incur a def icit of one or two billions a year as long as the depression lasts, others argue, and federal finances would be injured less by one Ave- billion-dollar bond issue to help business than by series of deficits if the depression is permitted to continue. Admitting that the issue would cause a form of imitation, they say some orderly imitation is necessary if producers are again to have profitable commodity prices such as are essential to economic revival.
 One predicts that the debate on this bond issue has only begun.

As the result of the recent print ing of two books on the subject, the why and the wherefore of the covered bridge provide lively con-

H., who has made a long study of the matter, says the chief item in construction of the old wooden bridges were the big arches, the covers being put on to protect the arches. That seems to us like saying the same thing differently. As a secondary reason he says they were covered to keep O if the weight of winter snows' w. s. Hall points out that Tn Rosa,

SWING TALKS TO
LOCAL VETERANS
ON LEGISLATION

A large number of Imperial Val
ley veterans gathered at Memorial
hall Saturday night to hear Con-
gresham Phil D. Swing talk on
veterans legislation, under the aus
pices of Boyce Aten post, Ameri-
can Legion.
The congressman described vari-
Gus phases of legislation passed
by congress or pending therein,
and designed to give assistance to
those who served the nation in
time of war.
Much of the congressman's talk
was devoted to the adjusted COM
pensation or bonus question. He
pointed out that munitions man
facturers. shipbuilders, cantonment
builders and others who had large
war contracts, had been granted
full compensation by the govern
ment, prior to 1925 but that the
men who really won the war, the
rank and file of the army, navy
and marine corps, had not.
The adjusted compensation plan,
he explained, did not pay the vet
eran with the same promptness
that was shown the contractors
the government postponing pay
ment for 20 years. Payment, he
said, is opposed by big financiers.
He expressed the belief that adj
justed compensation certificates
could be paid up now without
damage TO the country's finances.
The dishonest dollars, worth
much more now than it was prev
iously, should be rectified and
made an "honest dollar, he as
serted. .
With reference to the "bonus
army" in Washington, the speaker
declared that 1t was well-behayed,
patriotic and made every effort to
evict reds" and radicals from its
ranks. Although he opposed its
assembling in Washington, Con-
gresham Swing said that the vet
Grams earned his respect by their
behavior and that there were few
er crimes in Washington during
their sojourn there than at any
other time.
Congressman Swing was intro
duced by Commander Woodbury.
and at the conclusion of his ad-
dress held an informal reception
with his comrades of Boyce Aten
