LABOR CAMPS

! THE grower, contractor or shipper who
! 1 provides decent quarters for his field
labor, is entitled to the fullest credit for
doing the right thing as we'll as for be-
ing good business man. Such as these
have nothing to worry about the present
survey of labor camps which the state is
making in Imperial Valley.
But there are others vino seek to make
no provision whatever for those who
must toll hard under severe natural con-
ditiOnS, and it is well that the state has
an organization to make these toe the
mark
There are some splendid labor camps
in the valley. There are others which
are blot upon civilization, and it is to
be hoped that the state officials will
not overlook a single one Of the latter
class.
Many of those who live in the labor
camps are foreigners. But this does not
mean that they are not entitled to decent
quarters in which to live, decent santa
tion and equipment to provide a few of
life's cOnveniences.
Rural dwellers generally are not able
to enjoy the same conveniences as those
who live in the cities and it is essential
that they should at least not be sub
jected to conditions which are menace
to good health.
The employer who cares nothing for
the comfort of his workmen, is quite
likely to have employees of the same cal
ibre as the service ne gives them Pro-
viding decent accommodations is almost
certain to bring its own returns to the
employer in more satisfied and willing
laborers.
Employers who refuse to abide by the
state laws in regard to their labor camps,
after being given warning, should be
dealt with summarily. Their violation
is not something that can be taken light
ly for their victims are the poor and the
ignorant whose only defense is the law.
And there were some of course who
believed Al Capone really could recover
the stolen baby. They are the kind who
buy gold bricks.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE

Once upon a time there was
little puppy dog named Robbie. His

but his daddy used to call him by
the pet name of Robbie" and so
did everyone else in Woodland,
near Uncle Wiggily's hollow stump

lived.
Robbie had two brothers, Jackie
and Peetie Bow Wow, but this story

Robbie was a very jolly little pup

AIR MAIL COMING

DEFINITE announcement that air mail
" service for Imperial Valley will be
started June Is. is indeed gratifying to
businessmen of this community.
Recently this column had occasion to
comment unfavOrably on the present
mail conditions between the valley and
San Diego. Another month should see
the end of these conditions.
Air mail will provide rapid service be-
tween the valley and San Diego and be-
tween the valley and eastern points.
1t will give businessmen the best service
within the power of the postal depart
ment.
Establishment of air mail places a
duty on valley businessmen Just as
much as it confers a privilege upon
them. The duty is the necessity of sup
porting the air mail
Unless this is done. it will not take
the government long to discontinue the
service. Use of air mail costs little
more than ordinary mail, but it is worth
it. 1t means a saving of time and a sax
ing Of money in the long run.
Imperial Valley business houses should
prepare now so that when air mail is an
actuality, they Will be in position to pa
tronize it heavily 1t is an asset to this
community and merits support.
Establishment Of the air mail also
means that Imperial Valley will have
air passenger service east and west. This
too will have to be supported and I'M
perial Valleys "airtmindedness now
somewhat dormant will need to be
stimulated, if the proper patronage is
to be given.
The service will place Imperial Val
ley on a thoroughly modern basis as far
as transportation is concerned and the
valley must be modern enough to use it,

 Also Says New Taxes Must Come

WASHINGTON. Oct. 11.-United States Senator David A. Reed, of Pennsylvania, has just returned from abroad to campaign for Presi- dent Hoover.
 Senator Reed said he believed the Volstead Act will be modified and new taxes must be imposed by the coming Congress.
 T think there is no doubt the Volstead Act will be modified to permit of per cent beer and light wines at the short session." said Senator Reed. New taxes are in- evitable. I am in favor of a manu- lecturers sales tax"
 Senator Reed said further that whoever wins the election next November 8, be it Democratic or Republican Party, Congress will have to devise legislation to raise more revenues for the Government. Already the Government is $500,- 100000 in the red and which ever party wins 1t will have to pass some tax legislation.
 Senator Reed is a member of the Senate Finance Committee.

JIM REED ACCUSES HOOVER OF WILfULL DECEPTION
Ne,u Commission Headed by Coolidge
 Seeks La,us to Improue Rail Finances
By J. R. BRACKETT

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.LBasit legislation to increase and stabil- ize the earning power of Ameri- cas- $26O00, 100000 railroad sys. tenn, is a principal aim of the new railroad survey commission organ ized under the chairmanship oi former President Calvin Coolidge
 More freedom in making rates repeal Of the recapture clause which theoretically permits earn ings over certain percentage to be taken for the benefit o1 weak roads and more leniency in allowing establishment of surplus es in periods of prosperity are among the changes most often suggested for rail improvement.
 To aid him, MT. Coolidge will have Alfred E. Smith, former Democratic Presidential nominee. Alexander E. Legge, former chair man of the Federal Farm Board; Clark Howell, publisher of the At 1anta Constitution, and Bernard M Baruch, financier. The commits sion was organized at the instiga- ton of leading institutional inves- tors and business groups.
 Scope of Problem
 The scope of the problem is in dicated in the huge size and com plicated design of the railroad sys- tenn, particularly with respect to it's efficiency, and how much fur ther operating costs may be cut.
 Railroads have reduced costs in many ways. Taking advantage ef modern technology they now opeT- ate about 430,0OO miles of road with about 100000 men. Tn 1911 they required 1.500,000 men to op- crate 360,000 miles.
 Though the roads carried ap- proximately the same totals of freight in 1929 as in 1926. they required 100000 fewer employees to do the job. In every year since 1926, the railroads have needed fewer men,
 One of MT. Coolidge's strongest opinions on the railroads has had to do with consultations, which he advocated vigorously on several occasions. Consolidation, he said, will secure not only a greater element of competition as to ser- vice, but it will afford economy in operation, greater stability in earnings and more economical fi- nancing"
 Consolidation-Maybe
 Whether he again will urge con- remains to be seen. Four great eastern roads now are pro- jected and consolidation plans for them are far advanced. The ef- feet of consolidation virtually is certain to eventually reduce fur ther the number of employees, in the opinion of many rail econo- mists, who hold that any consid- erable gains in technical ability must come from reducing man. power by increasingly efficient methods.
 Railroad freight rates and pas senger fares were lower in 1881 than at any time since 1920. Whether they can be raised suc- cessfully is doubted by some rail- experts who suggest that higher rates would drive traffic to other means of transportation.

Farmers Give Famous Ora- tor Approval as He Pour

DIES MONIES, Ia., Oct. II. Senator James A. Reed of Missouri last night answered President H0Over's recent speech at this place point by point and was en- Enthusiastically cheered by his audience, among whom were thousands of farmers, as the shot was poured into the President. Senator Reed sev- eral times accused the Presi- dent of purpOseful and de- liberate misrepresentation.
 Re e d declared that the Presidents assertion in his Des Moines speech that the country was nearly forced off the gold standard as "ab- solutely untrue"
 He referred to the c. O. P. statement on Roosevelt's tar- if views and said it was w illf ul perversion of the truth"
 Called Incorrect
 He referred to Hoover's en- tire Des Moines address as "a series of incorrect statements and unjustifiable deductions"
 Senator Reed quoted Senator Car- ter Glass as the source of his in- that the country was never within s2,700 0.O00, ,000 of law ful suspension of gold payments"
 Reed quoted sections of the Presidents address as to the bat sles which Hoover said he had ought in silence. Listing as one ,f the perils mentioned that tho country at one time was within wo weeks of being forced off the ,old standard. Reed said: "Tha act is the drain on our gold re- erve was largely occasioned by hjs. nismanagement of the Federal Re- erve System" Reed declared that he system h ad been greatly trengthened by the "Democratio Glass -Steagall Bill"
 Astounding Thing
 But" declared Reed, the most thing is that at the 'ery time efforts were being made y all the country to restore con- idence in our financial system, President Hoover is willing to 'pread false rumors about the Fed ,ral Reserve Banks in an effort o win an election. Hie statement 1as done infinite harm and if will send shivers of fear throughout the financial and in- iustrial world"
 Reed also assailed President dooyer's record on agriculture. He old his cheering audience that he farmer could charge a large portion of his present financial difficulties to the President of the United States"
