CHAMBER HELPS
VALLEY OBTAIN
FINE PUBLICITY

Imperial Valley and particularly
Imperial Valley agriculture, is
news in any part of the world,
says Manager Robert Hays of the
chamber of commerce. I'VE have
Just received a copy of Agricultural
e Pecuaria, a farming magazine
from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, printed
in Portuguese, which contains an
article on Imperial Valleys winter
vegetables, illustrated with photo
graph of the harvesting of carrots,
furnished by the chamber OF COM
merce. The photograph was taken
by Hetzel, and shows the gathering
of carrots near Ell Centro. One OF
the Lomholdt trucks, laden with
crates of carrots, is prominently in
the foreground"
The chamber of commerce is con-
stantly furnishing magazine ar
ticles and photographs for illus
trating the same to wide variety
of periodicals. These, according to
Manager Hays, feature for the most
part, the products of Imperial VAL
ley which have a direct consumer
appeal, such as Imperial Valleys
lettuce, cantaloupeS, grapefruit,
peas, carrots, grapes, ETC., and which
can be featured because they were
produced in Imperial Valley, fire.
quently designated as "the most ex-
tensively publicized farming area
in the world"
1--WE supply these articles for
publication" said Hays, mot so
much from a sense of pride in this
valleys wonderful productivity, but
because we feel that the constant
picturation of Imperial Valleys
products will arouse consumer-de-
mand for these products, and in
crease their use and sale. Such
publicity showing for instance let
tuce in various stages OF production
and packing is far more effective
than display advertising. The the
ory is that if people see many,
many articles and photographs de-
picting the growing, picking, pack
ing and icing of Imperial Valley
lettuce, they will want to buy and
eat some. This means more sales
and more income to the grower,
the land owner and the community
generally"
The chamber of commerce, be-
sides preparing articles on the
products grown in Imperial Valley,
is preparing many articles designed
to increase tourist travel to Ell Cen
tro and to the county. Increase of
tourist traffic is one of the major
detectives of the directors OF the
chamber.

STATE OFFICIAL
OFFERS PLAN TO
HELP BUSINESS

In communication received at
Ell Centro Chamber of Commerce
headquarters by Manager Robert
Hays from David N. Morgan, exc
cutive officer of the California de-
partment of agriculture, it is sug-
gested by Morgan that a plan be
developed that would provide for
the creation of discount corpora
tions to handle credits of retail
merchants, on a basis whereby the
discount corporation would furnish
10 per cent of the capital and the
federal government would supply
80 per cent. Federal money could
be provided at low rate of inter-
est, according to the plan, and the
discount corporation would then be
in position to go to the retail mer-
chants and purchase their book ac-
counts outright for cash at varying
discounts.
"If such a plan could be eff
fected," said Manager Hays, "and
was proven to be safe and practic-
able, it would relieve the economic
stress nightly. Much of our So
called depression comes from frozen
credits of the retail merchant. If
such of these accounts as are
eventually collectible might be
turned over to a discount corpora
ton, operating largely with federal
money, the merchants would have
new money for the purchase of
stock and for continuance of op-
erations."
According to the plan advanced
by Morgan, local banks which have
made loans to the merchants on
the strength of the book accounts
Of the latter, could thus be reim-
bursed. The natural desire of the
banks, under existing conditions,
he points out, to collect from the
merchants has caused the mer-
chants to give the banks as much
as they could in the way of pay
ments on borrowings. 1t has fire.
quently not left them enough cash
with which to purchase new mer-
chandise. The federal government,
the state official emphasizes, has
indicated a desire through the
formation of the Reconstruction
Finance corporation, to relieve
frozen credits. These book ac-
counts of retail merchants are one
of the chief causes of the present
business stagnation in this country.
This, it is stated, is especially true
in the rural communities and towns
and small cities.
In conclusion Morgan said: eff

of merchants were converted into
cash in the million small commu-
mites of the United States that are

A PROPER MOVE

TAXPAYERS of the city will appreciate
the action of the Ell Centre city eoun-
Gil in reducing the tax rate for the COM
ing year 10 cents, from S1.73 to $1.69
per 500 valuation.
Taken with the previous announce
ment of 10 per cent reduction in val
uation, the council indicates that it is
straining every effort to reduce the cost
of government locally.
The budget has been pared to min
mum, with all city departments operat-
ing on the closest possible scale consis-
tent with safety.
Anything which offers means of re-
lief for the taxpayer in these times is
doubly welcome. The psychological ef-
feet the councils action will have on To-
cal taxpayers cannot be accurately
guaged, but it is quite likely that it will
be considerable.
That the people apparently are salts
fled with the operation of the city's bus
mess, is indicated from the small num-
ber who appeared before the board of
equalization to protest on assessments.
While the action of the council is high
ly commendable, it is no more than all
phases of governing bodies should do.
The mounting cost of government from
local bodies up to the national govern
ment in recent years has been little short
of scandalous.
Through the series of articles pre-
sented some weeks ago by the United
Press, the people have been made ac-
quainted with some of the reasons for
this high cost of government, in the eX-
travagances and downright graft of
members of congress. These disclosures
have been enough to make all taxpayers
writhe with anger.
There is no implication intended that
any similar conditions exist in the local
city government We believe the coun-
Gil is making a sincere effort to conduct
the operations of the city government as
efficiently and as economically as the in
dividual members conduct their own bus
inesses. Certainly the contrary has nev-
er been proven.
There is every reason to hope that the
councils reduction will act as a spur to
taxpayers to meet their obligations and
reduce the delinquent list to the lowest
possible minimum.
Half of August has gone and the sun
hasn't got in a real severe lick yet.

THE CURTAIN FALLS

CLOSE of the Olympic Games rings
~ down the curtain on what was, from
all accounts, the most spectacular and
thrilling event held on the Pacific coast
in many years, if indeed it was equalled
by any other affair, with the possible
exception of the 1915 expositions.
Upwards of 1000 athletes from all
parts of the world participated, and con-
sidering the compleXity of race, color
and political beliefs, the absence of tur-
moil and minimum of unpleasant in
cidents speaks we'll for the power of
athletics as a means of international
goodwill.
The sportsmanship displayed by all
was of the highest and the United States,
as host nation, filled its difficult role
exceptionally well, for which full credit
is due to the people of California, who
bore the brunt of the games, financially
and socially.
In too many parts of the world the
American is looked upon as money
grabber, interested only in accommodating
wealth In the Olympic Games the men
of other nations have had the opportun-
lty to see the other side of the American.
They have seen him as a hard competi-
tor, a good loser and a modest winner.
Some of the American stars received ad-
verse breaks, during the course of the
games, but not one registered a protest.
They took it and took it gamely.
The foreigners who competed in the
games had plenty of opportunity to see
and study this new side Of the Ameri-
can. There is every reason to believe
that the things they saw and heard will
not be forgotten. Returning to their own
countries they can and will tell their
fellow citizens that the American is
pretty good sort after all. Each of them
will be an ambassador of good will.
They will not only tell of the games,
but of the people of America; the Won
derful cities and vast open country they
saw enroute across the United States.
The fact that the United States car
ried off the major honors in the games
is fine thing, but not the greatest thing
about the games. 1t is more important
to have given our visitors an example of
true American hospitality and sports
manship.
