Says Yuma Water
Charges High

Irrigation costs in the Yuma
Valley, where the type of soil and
varieties of crops are similar to
those of Imperial Valley, are two
times as great as costs here, accord
ing to a statement made by Sec
retary Powers of the Yuma Water
Users association, who conferred
with the Imperial district officials
this week.
Powers stated that the construc-
ton or capital costs payable to the
reclamation bureau annually are
Sc per acre. In addition, there is
a charge of $3.50 per acre re-
quired by the water users asso-
citation for operation and MAIN
tenance of the system.
Even though the reclamation bu-
reau permits a moratorium on pay
ment of the Sc item, the operation
and maintenance cost, which still
must be paid, exceeds the average
total assessment in Imperial dis
trict, it was observed.

Bass Fishing In
County Illegal

Public attention is directed to a
statement made by Robert Hays,
manager OF the Ell Centro Chamber
of Commerce, who points out that,
by a law passed at the last session
of the state legislature and approv-
ed by Governor Rolph, bass fishing
of all kinds is absolutely prohibited
in Imperial county. Hays called
attention of the public to this law
following receipt of information
from Major John L. Farley, eXecu-
tive of the state division of fish
and game, that this law is being
violated in Imperial county. Major
Farley states that an intensive
drive will be made by federal, state
and county officers charged with
the enforcement of the game law
and violators of the law will be
prosecuted.
Numerous reports have been re-
ceived at the El Centro chamber
that striped bass have been seen
and some fishermen report having
caught bass weighing one to one
and one-half pounds. These fish,
they state, were thrown back into
the water when caught, as it was
known that bass fishing in Imperial
county is prohibited.

Nothing Doing In
Criminal Lines

If every day were like yesterday
end every night like last night.
Imperial Valley might be patrolled
by one lone law enforcement Off
Ger, and even this one officer would
find time hanging heavy on his
hands.
Judging from reports and book
ings at the sheriff's office and Ell
Centro police station, Thursday
night was the quietest Imperial
Valley has known in several years,
for not even one automobile was
stolen. No other thefts were re-
ported, nor was any other offense
of any kind on record at the sher-
ifs office.
The Ell Centro police station ex-
perienced the same situation, with
the monotony broken this morning
by reported mad dog an Wensiey
avenue. The dog had bitten sew
eral others and snapped at one
child, police learned. Charles
Resenquest shot the animal.

MAYOR STRESSES
RESPONSIBILITIES
in CASTING VOTE

believe the time has come when
sibilities in the interests of good
government. He must realize that
the government, whether municipal,
state or federal is his government
and that upon his own shoulders
rests the responsibility for its ex-
istence whether it is good or bad.
Upon the manner in which he
makes his selections for govern
mental positions by the exercise of
his voting power depends the type
of government he gets.
My observation is that the aver
age voter gives too scant attention
to the qualifications of prospective
candidates and depends too much
upon the recommendations of those
having personal interests, either di-
rectly or indirectly, in the results
of the election. Men with personal
interests, personal grievances and
axes to grind are much more active
in campaigning than men not so
motivated.
A voter cannot delegate his vote
to anyone else and he alone is re-
sponsible for the results he obtains
with it. Our municipality is gov
erned by five councilmen or COM
missioners selected by the vote of
the people and those five council
men are responsible to the voters
for the results of their administra-
ton. The council so composed ap-
points their departmental heads
and executive officers and these
men are directly responsible to the
council for their acts, and likewise
employees are responsible to depart
mental heads.
A councilman cannot shift the re-
suits of his administration, whether
good or bad, to some departmental
head nor can departmental heads
shift the results of their acts to
some employee. Voters, in making
selections, should bear this in mind.
They alone are responsible for the
selection of their councilmen and
upon their selection depends the
kind of government they get.
Particularly in times like the
present should voters use thought
and care in electing men to office.
They should give them full support
and cooperation and should hold
them responsible for the results OBJ
tanned. But while holding the men
he elects accountable the voter
should not forget that he himself
is accountable for the manner in
which he uses his right of fran
chise.
