a half-dependable husband give
a woman, and which nothing
else can quite replace.
True, the modern woman gets
very little of this protective ten
derness from a man-chiefly
because she doesn't DEMAND
it. And women never get any
thing from men which they
don't demand. A man simply
cannot have that same sense
of responsibility for the eff
cient, independent young woman
of today, with her self-suffi-
cient air and glace polish that
he had for the helpless, feeble
minded clinging-vine, who hung
onto his coat lapel. But there
are times when we can't help
wondering if the "clinging-vine"
WAS feeble-minded or just
wiSe-headed.

Campaign Renewed
Partisan Fervor


Partisan Fervor
Thus President Hoover is
proposing to demand" t" that
the Democrats" in the pres
ent Hoover administration
Congress shall balance the
budget and lift the Hoover
deficit. The balancing Of the
budget is more the problem
of Mr.. Hoover than Of Mr..
Roosevelt at this juncture.
The latter has no power over
the vast number of lame
ducks defeated by his cam
paign.
Other papers are demand
ing that Mr.. Roosevelt "si-
lence" this member of Con-
gress or that. How absurd!
how silly!
No one knows what the fu-
ture may bring forth. Any
one knows that the present
political complexion Of Con-
gress does not make for har-
monious action. A half dozen,
no, four, Democrats in the
House, off the party reserva-
tion, give the House to their
enemies. In the Senate the
Democrats are not in control.
The people voted to en-
trust power, authority, re-
sponsibility to Mr.. Roosevelt
and his party on the 4th of
March and not before. It is
grotesque to assume that be-
cause of the vote of the peo-
pie the present President
will approve measures in ac-
cord with the Roosevelt plan,
for everyone knows that he
will veto a beer revenue bill.
Instead of the close of the
campaign ending partisan
fervor, it has only increased
it. The result is that no
pledges Of the party given
the mandate after March 4th,
and not before, can be re-
deemed with the aid of the
lame ducks who went down
because of their hostility to
these pledges.

a DAY
By BRUCE CATION

TINE mystery story fan gets pref
Il ty bad fare. most of the time,
but once in a while he does get a
break.
And one of his bits of good for
tune this month is contained in
Death Tolls the Bell by Paul
Mcclure (Coward-McConn; so.
Here is that rarity, good detec-
tive story which is puzzling, in
genious, suitably scary and written
so that a literate adult can bear to
read it.
The scene is an English country
town. The village church bell starts
ringing at 2 in the morning, and
when people go to investigate they
find lovely Stella Essington, movie
star, dangling from the rope, neatly
and permanently hanged.
Most of the subsequent investiga-
ton is carried out by one Hopper,
a gangling novelist who keeps ten
pet cats, drinks vast quantities of
beer and believes in a personal
devil
During the story Sir Appleby
Frap, financier, also gets bumped
off, and there's some sinister Spiritu-
alistic business to give the yarn an
eerie touch. All in all, the story is
eminently readable.
Another mystery that's better
than average is Murder Must Ad-
vertiSe." by Dorothy L. Savers
(Harcourt- Brace; so.
In this one, a bright young man
in an English advertising agency
falls down stairs and dies, and no
one but Sir Peter WhimSy suspects
that his death wasn't accidental.
The book is really more interest
ing for its picture of life in an
advertising agency than for its
mystery. and the murder itself is
accomplished in a quite impoSsi-
BILE way; but if you can stand Sir
Peter Whimsy you'll find the book
well worth your while.

VISITS
WITH CONv|CTS

SACRAMENTO, May 20. W.P)-
Ignoring all precedent as well as
the mild objections of prison Off
cials, Governor Rolph Saturday
visited the cell block of Folsom
prison, talked to five men await
ing execution in condemned row,
and walked up the 13 steps that
must be travelled to reach the pris-
on gallows.
1t was the first time a Califor-
mia governor had ever entered the
cell block that houses 1900 of Cal
ifornia's toughest convictS. To
Rolph these men were just "old
friendS'.
The governor wanted to see Pat
Mobiles, Los Angeles Negro, partic-
ularly. After a conference with
the man convicted of Staying his
wife's asserted paramour, Rolph
promised him another go day re-
prieve. Mobiles is scheduled to hang
June 9.
When Rolph arrived at the pris-
on the Cline was just going in
for the evening lookup. Despite
the fact Warden Court Smith said
that an approach to the line might

ALTER AGRICULTURAL LAW
FOR GROWERS PROTECTION

One OF the most important pieces
of agricultural legislation, from the
standpoint of protection for grow
ers, according to c. ]. Carey, chief
Of the division of market enforce
ment, state department of agri-
culture, became the law of the state
few days ago when Governor
Rolph affixed his signature to Sen
ate Bill 81, introduced by Senator
Mixter of Tulare county. This bill,
which carried ana emergency clause
making it effective Immediately,
amends in vital respects the Pro-
duce Dealers act, which has been
vigorously administered and en-
forced by the Department.
The new law" states Carey,
will go far beyond anything ever
attempted by agricultural regula-
ton in any other state. The act,
as it was formerly, required only
commission merchants or conSign-
ment dealers to be licensed and to
be subject to investigation by Off
GERS of the Department. The law as
it stands amended, required all
handlers or perisnaple farm pro-
ducts to secure a license from the
State, and to be subject to orders
of department officers in all con-
troversies between growers and
dealer. The new personalities
brought under regulation include
oil dna lore uyhn YN,,rchoca form WE-
ducts in any other way than by
cash on the line, and the so-called
"broker" or middleman, who ham
dies neither the produce nor the
money, but merely negotiates the
sale. The laws also makes it neces-
sary for all persons acting as agents
for any dea.er, merchant or broker
to be licensed.
"One of the most important parts
Imperial Valley press., 1933-05-29

of our work has been the adjust
ment of controversies between gro
wer and dealer. Heretofore we have
had jurisdiction only over consign-
mentS. puG now any grower who
has been unfairly treated under al
most any arrangement can apply
to the division of market enforce
ment for a review OF his transac-
ton. In 1882, over $4,000 was re-
turned to growers by enforcement
of the old law, and in the last so
days over $33, 1000 has been return
ed-almoSt half of what was re-
covered in the whole of 1892. I'm
der the increased jurisdiction, and
after the division has been aug
mented in order to take care of the
work, which 1 estimate will be trip
led, the return to California grow
erS may reach considerable pro-
portions"
Carey warns all wholesale hand
lerS of farm products for resale to
apply Immediately for licenses as
dealers under the new law, stating
that only short time will be CIV
en- for the trade to become familiar
with the new statute. In order
that all who fall under the new law
may have an opportunity to have
it explained, and to qualify, Carey
plans TO hold meetings in the larger
centers where dealers are active. A
schedule of these meetings will be
released shortly.
The law as amended was drafted
by Carey and by Edison Abel of the
Farm Bureau Federation 1t was
supported by the federation, by the
farm journals of the state, and by
prominent groups or growers, ship
perS and merchants throughout
California.
