BUSINESS EXPERT SAYS VALLEY
HAS NO CAUSE FOR WORRYING

AS residents of the richest sec
ton of the richest state in the
United States, Imperial Valley per-
sons should not worry about the
business depression, according to
Paul Clagstone, manager of the
western division of the United
States Chamber of Commerce, who
spoke last night at the Ell Centro
Chamber of Commerce dinner
According to gofernment figures
the per capita buying power of
California is S57573, which is great
er than that of any other state in
the Union, while the per capita
buying power of the 10 southern
counties Of California is above even
the state average, being $577.10
Clagstone stated that his survey of
Imperial Valley also denotes a de-
cline in hording, and that he be-
lieves there is no excuse for any
local feeling of worry about the
business situation.
Tracing back to the case of the
present national business depres-
sion Clagstone stated that effici-
ency and elimination of waste had
been worked out in the United
States to such an extent that be-
fore the financial slump the STAN
dard of living was far above that
Of any other country. This had
been brought about by organized
effort and Standardization, in
which the national chamber of
commerce had played an important
part Then, according to the speak
er, a money-mad population en-
tered an orgy of speculation, with
the result that the carefully built
up industrial and economic ma
chinery Of this country was smash
ed. The only way in which to
put the country back on a sound
economic basis said the speaker,
"is to use the methods with which
we originally built prosperity, that
is by elimination Of waste. STAN
dardization and organized effort.
It is in the matter of organized
effort that the state and national
chambers of commerce will assist
in bringing back prosperity to the
country, Clagstone stated. The
many plans which have been sug-
gested for causing a return to nor
malcy have been rejected by the
national chamber because they in
volve such huge expenditures that
they would necessarily increase
taxation, thereby handicapping the
very business men whom they are
supposed to aid. Increased taxa
ton, he pointed out is dangerous
and should be avoided
According to the speaker, the
calling of a monetary conference, to
stabilize the value of silver, would

TIGHTER REENS
WILL BE- DRAWN
ON VARIATIONS

Taking steps to regulate and con-
troll by strict rules of conduct any
future marathons, Valuations or
like enterprises coming into FL
Centro, the city council last night
directed Dorsey Whitelaw, city at
torney. to draft an ordinance out
lining the rules by which such a
project must be governed.
This order was passed on TO the
city attorney after a discussion of
the WalkathOn contest at present
being conducted in the Moose hall
on South Sixth street. Incorpora-
ton IN the ordinance will be strict
rules to regulate future marathons.
and q license which must be paid
before the contest opens, it is be-
lieved.
Police several times have been
called to quell fights in the walk
athon quarters, and at least one
person has reported he was robbed
while watching the contest.
Tuning from consideration of
the marathon ordinance, council
men last night retained Hutchinson
and Company as city auditors to
make quarterly audits of city books
and property at a cost of s460 a
year. H. L. Soper is local repre-
sentative Of the auditing firm.

do much toward restoring the
prosperity of this nation. and he
believes that such an international
monetary conference will be- called
in the near future. Another change
which Clagstone believes could give
immediate relief is the clearing
away of the psychological panic
which still controls the people of
this country. However, it is the
opinion of leaders Of the United
States Chamber Of Commerce. and
others who have made a study of
business ohditions, that the coun-
try is now on the upgrade and
has been for a couple of months or
longer. They believe we should be
out of the depression within one
year. or two at the longest. de
pending upon the public attitude.
Clagstone's message of optimism
was concluded with an invitation
to all business men of Ell Centro.
and Others interested, to attend
the annual convention of the Unit
ed States Chamber Of Commerce, to
be held in May Of this year in
San Francisco. 1t will be many
years before an annual meeting of
the national chamber is again held
in the west and Clagstone assured
those present that attendance at
this meeting, which will draw out
standing business men Of the coun-
try, will be well worth the invest
ment of the trip to San Francisco.

What Others Think

q XTY economists have examined the tax load

confscatory. Nothing short of a revamping of

bring real relief to the farmers.
