WHITES TALK AT
LOCAL GATHERING
IS OUTSTANDING

One of the outstanding addresses
made at the luncheon yesterday
honoring the directors of the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation and
attended by farm bureau members,
was thai of c. r. White, president
of the New York State Farm Bu-
reau and director for the national
federation.
The Goldsborough bill, sponsored
by the national federation and
which passed the house, was the
theme of his talk. The bill itself
is called the honest dollar bill and
is an attempt to provide a stable
unit of value based upon the value
of commodities.
In illustrating his point regarding
the instability of the purchasing
power of the dollar which at
present requires those having some
thing to sell to exchange more units
of that commodity to secure a dol
lar, he cited the development of
units of measurement, stating that
the yard was originally the measure
of the kings waist, and that in
those terms, the dollar once repre-
sented in commodity value the
measure of Calvin Coolidges waist,
but today it represents the girth of
Herbert Hoover.
The Goldsborough bill makes no
fundamental change in the none
tary system, he stated, as its basis
is concerned. gold, but seeks to fit
in the recognition of commodity
values, having a monetary unit that
will express true value. He stated
that the present monetary unit is
now dishonest since it requires the
debtor to pay more than he bought
in terms of commodity and the ef-
feet of the Goldsborough bill would
be to restore the price level to the
level at the time most of the debts
were incurred, and having attained
that level, to attempt to stabilize
it at that point.

Stores To Close
On Memorial Day

All stores in Ell Centre will be
closed on Monday, May 80, Me-
mortal Day, according to the El
Centre Chamber of Commerce.
Memorial Day is one of the six
holidays approved last year by the
special committee appointed by the
Associated Chambers of Commerce
of Imperial County, and the stores
of El Centro have indicated to the
chamber their willingness to abide
by the closing dates decided upon
by that committee.
The closing of stores Monday
will give the people of FL Centro a
two-day holiday this weekend be-
cause of Memorial Day falling on
Monday. Banks, county and city
offices, title companies and the I'm
perial Irrigation district observe
this day as a legal holiday and the
fact that the retail stores are also

Finney Denies
Naming Deputy

Judge A. c. Finney today denied
that Josephine Graham had been
appointed assistant probation Off
Ger, asserting that she merely has
been taken into the office on trial
and may be appointed if she proves
satisfactory.
Judge Finney repeated his state
ment of last week that it is his rec
ommendation no one be named to
fill the vacancy made by the resig-
nation of Dorothy Reese, at least
until the beginning of another fiS-
cal year
The probation committee does
not agree with the recommendation,
he said, but added that Miss Gra-
ham has not yet been appointed,
and is serving without salary.
EDITORS NOTE-The informa-
ton in yesterdays issue that Miss
Graham had been named deputy
probation officer by Judge Finney,
was given to this publication by
B. M. Gruwell, president of the
Imperial county probation commit
tee. The Press is not interested in
the appointment of Miss Graham
except as a matter of news. Last
week Judge Finney informed The
Press that no deputy would be ap-
pointed. Yesterday the information
was given that he had made the
appointment. Today he denies
making the appointment. Whatever
may be the misunderstanding be-
tween the judge and the probation
committee does not concern The
Press. It does not wish to be made
ridiculous, however, in printing one
thing one day and the contrary
the next, and for this reason has
been compelled to give the appoint
ment more publicity than it would
ordinarily merit. So far as this
paper is concerned, comment on it
in the news columns is hereby
ended.
