ANNIVERSARY OF ADOPTION OF
AMERICAN CONSTITUTION.

Saturday, September II, will be OBJ
served throughout the length and
breadth of this great nation as Con-
stitution Day 1t will be the 145th an
niversary of the adoption Of the Con-
stitution Of the United States, that i'm
mortal document that has had such a
profound influence not only on The
governments Of the world but on the
thought Of the world as wen.
The Constitution of the United States
was drawn up by a convention Of SIS
members, representing II Of the then
10 states. 1t met in the city Of Phil
adelphia and was presided over by
George Washington The convention
was called to meet May Ia, 1887, but a
quorum was not secured until May rs.
Its work was completed September II.
The legislature Of Delaware was the
first to ratify the Constitution. Its
adoption by New Hampshire, in June,
1888, made the Constitution operative
One writer has said that fanciful
comparisons have been drawn between
the u. S. Constitution and the institu
tons OF ancient Greece, Venice, Rome
and Switzerland The plain facts ere
that the leaders of the Revolution did
the most rational thing in the world.
They followed the unwritten constitu-
ton of England, to which they had been
accustomed, and the constitutions of
the several states, which had grown
out OF two centuries Of colonial gov

1t is interesting to give little
thought to this matter of government
by constitution. The writer quoted
above says:
1T is a principle of modern consti-
tutional law that whatever power of
authority is not granted expressly TO
the government by the constitution is
retained by the people. The older, we
may say, for example, the Russian
theory, (prior to the revolution) is that
all authority or privilege not granted
to the people Is retained by the SOW

of Canada or the United States, is writ

FARM BUREAU TO
OPPOSE DISTRICT
WATER CHARGES

APPOINTMENT of a committee to
appear before the directors of the
Imperial Irrigation District tomor-
row to protest against the recently
inaugurated plan of water charges,
was the chief item of business con-
Quoted by the board of directors OF
the Imperial County Farm bureau
at it's meeting Saturday afternoon
in the court house.
The committee will ask the di-
rectors to defer putting these
charges into effect until the farm
bureau has a chance to see if some
other method cannot be worked out.
1t was the opinion of the directors
that the imposition of such a toll
will mean that many hundreds OF
acres of land will lie idle and also
that it will be impossible for many
of those who pay the toll to pay
the next installment of the irriga-
ton district assessments.
Members of the committee are
E. T. Hewes, Sam Stanley, Earl V.
c. Northrup, r. E. Gonder, Leslie
Mcconnell and Vernon Rood.
Assemblyman S. E. Robinson was
appointed chairman of a committee
to work out a program for a county

some official of the state farm bu-
reau will be the speaker.
G. F.. Kamm was appointed
chairman of committee to investi-
gate methods of getting federal

HOOVER MAKES
RADIO APPEAL
TO HOARDERS
President Urges Faith By
People In Future OF
The Government.

WASHINGTON, March 7. U.P>-
Hoarders today had before them a
radio appeal of President Hoover
to show their faith in America by
putting their money back into use
full channels.
The President opened the ma
tional baby bond" campaign in
an address from the White House
last night. On the same national
nookup with him were Charles c.
Dawes, president of the reconstruc-
ton finance corporation; Ogden
Mills, secretary of the treasury, and
Senator Robinson, Arkansas, Dem
ocratic senate leader.
Hoover said the appeal to put
idle dollars to work was "a call to
the faith of the people, call
that would bring the country back
to normal.
1.-THE safest risk in the world Is
4 share in the future of the Amer
lean people," he said. "The Amer
ican people have at this moment
one of the greatest opportunities
in their history to show an assured
confidence and an active faith in
their own destiny which is the
destiny of the United States-and
by that faith we shall win this
battle"
Secretary Mills explained the
"baby bond" issue. These bonds,
or treasury certificates, are in de-
nominations of $50, $l00 and $500,
and bear 2 per cent interest. They
will be dated March Is and will
mature in one year.
They are a direct gold obligation
of the government, and are re-
deemable. at any time on so days
notice. They are intended to afford
thoroughly safe investment for
timid money, and bear low in
terest rate to discourage withdraw
ing cash from banks to buy them.
Cites New Responsibility
Dawes, addressing his remarks
directly to the hoarders, pointed
out that each man had perfect

his money, but added:
Because SO many other people
at the same time have done the
same thing, you now occupy a new
relationship to the existing busi-
ness depression and unemployment
in the United States, and have in
Cured a new and individual re-
sponsibility."

NO DEVELOPMENTS
IN L|NDBERCH CASE
Parents Apparently Placing Great Faith In Ability
Of Underworld Characters To Obtain Return Of
Kidnapped YOungster.

HOPEWELL, N. j., March 7. U.P)
Hope blossomed in the Lindbergh
home today for early return of
Baby Charles Augustus, jr., as New
York gangland Intermediates lis
tened for underworld word on the
child's hideout.
Officially, the New Jersey state
police expressed belief that Baby
Charles is still alive. This feeling
was shared by the Lindberghs on
this, the sixth day since the child
was seized from its crib in the
Sourland mountain estate. Yet, so
far as officially revealed no posi-
tive word had come as basis for
this confidence.
The Jersey uthorities-known to
be squabbling among themselves
and largely ignored by the Lind
berghs since the latter turned to
gangland for assistance-announ
their readiness to "do everything
possible to help the kidnapers de-
liver the child
1t was the biggest promise of all
for the captors yet given.
Everything today indicated reli-
ance was placed heavily on the
chances of success in the Lind
berghs appointment of Salvatore

Assessor Asks
Cooperation OF
Property Owners

Assessment of all personal prop
erty at present day prices and 10
per cent reduction on real estate
is the program for Imperial county
according to Frank G. Weir, county
assessor.
At IL o'clock noon today, the
assessment period started on valu-
ations, real and personal, for the
year 1928. In explaining his ac-
ton Weir stated:
II am making the above reduc-
ton because I feel it is the right
and honest thing to do, but I wish
to call attention to the fact that
my whole duty IS to assess values
only, not to make the rate. Coun-
ty government, as well as federal
and state, can not exist without the
payer will cooperate with me by
giving the deputy assessor a fair
and equitable assessment of his
property, my reduction of values
will not be in vain"
To the owners of stocks and
bonds and securities, Weir makes
the following statement.
1T is important that your atten-
ton is called to the fact that the
law requires all residents of Cali
fornia to make and deliver to the
county assessor, between the first
Monday in March and the first
Monday in July complete list of
their stocks, bonds, notes, deben-
lures, mortgages, deeds of trust and
other securities taxable at $500 for
each $1,000 of value, also money,
sale contracts, book accounts and
money in the bank mot savings)
and other solvent credits taxable
at $100 for each $1,000 of value.
The law adds a penalty equal to
two times the tax for failure to
file the return. This penalty ac-
crues for each year missed. More
detailed information may be had at
the county assessors office.

Defer Action On
kidnapping Bill

WASHINGTON, March T. U.P)--
The senate judiciary committee to-
day postponed action indefinitely
on kidnapping legislation for fear it
might have some influence in pre-
venting return of the Lindbergh
baby.
The committee was almost unan-
imously in favor of some legisla-
ton Chairman Norris announced
later.
But we felt it could be of no
benefit in the present case and
might do a lot of HARM" Norris
said. There has been so much
stir and publicity about the matter
that Colonel Lindbergh is having
trouble getting his baby back any
way.
when this matter is over I think
we will take up and pass some leg
islation."

PRESIDENT OF
PERU WOUNDED
In GUN ATTACK
Sanchez CerrO Becomes
Target For Opponent
At Church Services.

LIMA, Peru, March 7. W.P)-Luis
M. Sanchez Cerro, diminutive Per-
uvian president bearing a score of
wounds inflicted during his turb-
ulent career, was recovering today
from another attempt to assassinate
him at the fashionable Miraflores
church.
While society women screamed
and ran for the church exits, aides
of the president stood in the mid
die aisle and engaged in close
range revolver battle with the
Wouldbe assassin.
Sanchez Cerro was wounded in
the chest but not seriously; one of
his aides was taken to a hospital
in serious condition; the presi-
dents assailant was wounded. Two
women, child, and servant were
struck by revolver bullets.
The presidents assailant, a tall,
pale youth identified as Jose Mel
gar, member of the Aprista (oppos-
ition) party, attended mass at the
church neatly dressed in blue coat
and white trousers. At the end of
the service, when the president and
his party were leaving, the youth
stepped up to Sanchez Cerro and
fired pistol at him.
Sanchez Cerro fell back against
his companions, clutching his left
side where the bullet had penetrat-
ed.
The tall youth aimed and fired
again. The bullet struck Col. An
tonic Rodriguez, chief of the mil
itary household who leaped in front
of the president to shield him.
Sanchez Cerro had drawn his own
revolver and sprang forward. He
did not fire, however. The would
be assassin stood in the same pos
ltion in the church aisle and fired
for the third time.
Luis Solari, a presidential aide,
fired point blank at the young at
tacker. Blood spurted from Melgar's
neck. He stood his ground and fired
at the president until his gun was
empty. He attempted to climb over
an iron fence outside the church
but was captured.
Prior to the attack on him, San
chez Cerro had been wounded some
20 times by bullets.

Seek Amendment
To Curb Profits

WASHINGTON, March 7. U.P)-
An amendment to the constitution
designed to take the profit out of
war was submitted in the senate
today in connection with the BIZ
partisan report of the war policies
commission composed of represent
ativeS of the cabinet, the house
and the senate.
President. Hoover submitted the
report of the commission to con-
gresS today. The inquiry was un-
dertaken in response to demands of
the American Legion that capital
be placed on the same basis as
labor in time of war.
Under the amendment recon-
mended by the war policies COM
mission, congress would be given
specific authority to fix prices.
The commission recommended
further that no constitutional
amendment permitting the govern
ment to confiscate private property
should be considered.
