CATTLE RAISING
OFFERS VALLEY
FINE INDUSTRY

IF it can be determined that
there exists sufficient margin
of profit in the feeding of cattle
and other livestock here stated
w. A. Scheniman, chairman of the
/ industries and development COM
mittee of the Ell Centric Chamber of
Commerce, lit behooves the people
of Imperial Valley to produce larger
quantities of cattle, hogs, sheep
and calves for the Los Angeles
market. A compilation made by the
chamber of commerce staff in con-
junction with the agricultural de-
partment of the Los Angeles Cham
ber of Commerce reveals that re-
ceipts of cattle in Los Angeles IN
ion stockyards during the year 1881
were 237, ,460, with only $4,000 head,
or little over one-half California
grown.
Scheniman states, "of 68, ,466 hogs
slaughtered there, only 24,000 were
produced in California, or not much
over one-third. There we're 1900
calves received at the stock yard,
vet only $4,000 we're produced in
California. The slaughter of sheep
amounted to 232, ,453, but only $780,
900 we're California products. Mem
bers of the chamber state these fig
ures represent only the receipts at
the Los Angeles stock yards and
do not include the animals which
go directly to the packing houses,
so the figures given above can be
just about doubled.
Certainly, with our 100000 acres
of alfalfa Scheniman states, land
the unsatisfied demand of the Los
Angeles markets. there exists an
opportunity for cattle men and live
stock men to produce and sell their
product. We realize that prices
for our products are now low, but
this condition cannot always pre-
vail and the chamber directors are
indeed hopeful that land owners
and livestock men are now plan
ming for the future invasion of the
coastal markets. Incidentally, Los
Angeles slaughtered more beef last
year than ever before, despite the
existing financial crisis. We have
apparently an unlimited market at
our very doors and it seems almost
incredible that the coastal cities
should have to bring in about one
half of their livestock products from
without the state.
while we do not usually think |
of chickens as livestock" accord
ing to Scheniman, NOR speak of
them at the same time as of cat
tie, yet receipts of poultry in Los
Angeles in 1881 show some inter- |
esting facts. There were 100000
pounds of dressed poultry brought
into Los Angeles in carload lots
exclusive of small lots, and only
100000 were produced in Cali
fornia. Idaho sent to the Los An
geles market almost as much as
California produced The state of
Oregon supplied almost one and
one-half as much as California and

Law Officers OF
City Not Busy

Lack of activity in practically all
branches of law enforcement in I'M
perial county was reflected in the
FL Centre police court this morning
when only one defendant appeared
before Judge Lee Nuffer.
Remedio Almondio, 81, Filipino,
was turned over to county author
tiles for prosecution on a charge
of carrying concealed weapons, a
felony.
The Filipino was arrested last
night. A search showed a pair of
vicious metal knuckles. with two
large, sharp points filed into the
metal. Since these metal knuckles
are rated as concealed weapons,
the felony charge was filed.

Honesty PenaIiZed

In the city named for George Washington, it
seems they fire people for telling the truth
The latest victim Of the shush policy is Ethelbert
Stewart 75-year-od statistcian in the United States
department of labor.
About four months ago Secretary of Labor Doak
announced to newspapermen that, upon information
supplied by his aids he could state that employment
was on the increase
Newsmen, puzzled, sought Stewart to verify this
important statement. Stewart took down the phone.
called Doak, and told him that he was not justified
by information in his department in drawing such a
happy conclusion.
Doak then called the aged statistician into his
Office, and in presence of the reporters rebuked him.
OF course events since then have indicated Stewart
and discredited the Boak bauyhoo
Last week Stewart was recommended for retire
ment under the economy bill. His name was
omitted from list of valuable officials who in spite
of years beyond the retirement age were to be re-
tanned in active service because of their usefulness
Doak explains that he recommended none of the
oldsters from his department.
Stewart has been in continuous government serv-
ice for foryve years He is recognized as one of the
abest in his line in America and his honest work
on employment is needed particularly now.
He has, he says, "lot of pay dirt" in him yet.
But unfortunately for him and the country he is too
candid.

While You Pay and Pay and Pay

You, dear reader, have started paying cents for
a postage stamp. You are paying tax on your tooth
paste. You feeling the pinch of the nuisance
taxes AS the months pass, these taxes will become
no easier through frequent paying; they never do.
Every time you mail letter, buy tube of tooth
PASTE box of candy, matches, lubricating OIL gas
oline any one of long list of things these new
taxes will become just that much more burdensome.
Your patriotic desire to help balance the budget will
not eliminate the annoyance of these nuisanceS.
Taxes, of course must be levied and collected The
government could not operate otherwise Yet there
are easier pleasanter taxes and the way is mapped
out to levy and collect them
The Democratic convention, by overwhelming vote,
declared for the repeal of the eighteenth amendment
and for immediate modification of the Volstead act
to legalize and tax beer
The Republicans declared for doing something or
other about prohibition and, by November will be
claiming, undoubtedly, that they are as keen about
repeal as the Democrats.
Yet neither Republican nor Democratic congress-
men will be sincere or convincing then if they fail
to vote to modify the volstead act now.
Congress raise as much as $375 900 900 in fed
eral revenue through tax on beer. That sum ex-
ceeds all that will be raised by the petty nuisance
taxes
Think of this as you enjoy the luxury of licking &

sonal campaign gets under way. And don't forget it

Germany in 1893 and France in 1872

There is an amazing contrast between the press
comment on Germany's behavior at the Hague con-
ference of 1899 and that the reaction OF France
to the disarmament proposals Of the Geneva confer
ence and of President Hoover
In 1899 Germany was attacked bitterly as the dog
in-the-manger blocking universal disarmament and
compulsory arbitration Of all disputes But there was
no adequate ground for such condemnation.
The Russian proposals of limitation of land forces
was bogus Count Wtte himself confessed that they
were not offered in good faith. Further every major
power except Russia opposed then-not Germany
alone.
Great Britain led by Admiral Sir John Fisher
resoutey opposed any suggestion of naval limitation
or reduction. At the very time the Hague conference
was sitting Great Britain requested large additional
appropriation to build warships.
At the second Hague conference in 1907 the prob
lem of disarmament was not discussed seriously
both France and Germany opposing such move. Ger
many co-operated with Britain in establishing the in
ternatonal prize court the main achievement Of the
second Hague conference.
In short the Russian proposals for armament limi-
tation were not made in good faith, but piece
OF selfish and emporizng Russian strategy; the arbi

There is little doubt that Mr.. Hoovers proposal is

At the time of the Hague conferences, Germany
had sound reasons for opposing disarmament. She

Cutting the Costs

Today the special session Of the legisla-
ture grapples with the same problem that
has faced every citizen and every business
for the past three years.
1t must find ways of raising money for
government It must cut costs to fit the
capacity to pay.
With the total income of the state re-
duced to one-half that of 1929, the cost of
government remains the same
That is not the whole problem. Interest
charges on county, state, cities, school cities
and other fctional governmental units re-
main the same. The problem is not so simple
as declaring horizontal cut of so per cent
in present costs. The interest burden is the
same as before.
1t is most obvious that real estate can no
longer carry the burden. The farmer is
broke. The industrial worker has lost his
job and sees his home being slowly con-
fscated.
There will be fight against the inno-
walton Of an income tax. Yet that seems to
be the one fair way to levy taxes in a crisis,
even if incomes are dwindling so fast that
such a tax would need frequent revisions
and those who have incomes will look upon
the tax as confiscation. The reply is that
real estate is being confscated or has been
confscated.
In such an emergency, the first job
should be the elimination of projects which
are Of doubtful value or lack the quality of
emergent necessity.
The state highway commission with it's
huge twenty million dollar a year fund
could easily be put on a business instead of a
political basis and it's funds placed elsewhere
with no great loss to the state.
The percentage of its funds which go to
labor do not compensate for the huge burden
upon the people. There is no emergency need
of more roads at time when sales of auto
mobiles are falling and the use of the auto
mobile is less and less.
The distribution of it's funds to cities
which pay the most of the tax, in order to
give employment to workers on streets, is
imperative.
Wage cuts will undoubtedly be fought
bitterly, and yet wage cuts must come or
there will be no pay envelopes.
Nor will the legislators be forgiven if
they fail to look at the emergency" fund at
the disposal of the Governor. The knife could
be used there.
The emergency that exists threatens
every home owner, every farmer, every
worker.
The time has come to act with some re-
must replace property taxes. And the polit-
ical barnacles must be cut away from the
ship of state.
