PROPOSITIONS ON BALLOT

PROPOSITIONS No. 9 and No. 10.
These two propositions can be con-
sidered together, for they provide for the
same thing, diversion of funds from the
gasoline tax fund to the general fund,
one diversion to be effective for the BIZ
ennium ending June 80, 1888 and the
other for the biennium ending June 80
1885.
The two diversions total more than
$17,000,000, roughly divided half and
half for each
If approved, it is proposed to use the
sum diverted for payment of bond in
terest and redemption on outstanding
highway bonds
Proponents of the diversion argue that
the bonds-voted by the people before
the gasoline tax was adopted-were used
to build highways and it is therefor log
ical to use gas tax money to retire them.
There is still $50, 100000 in outstanding
bonds and il is estimated it will require
$95 100000 to retire them in the next 81
years. This money will have to be raised
from general fund sources. With the
state facing deficit, the proponents as
sert it is only right that motorists should
bear the burden of paying for the roads
they use.
it a raid on funds which are easily col
lected, and if the diversion is approved,
they consider it an opening wedge for
future raids, which means that the mot
crist may be called upon to provide funds
for other state activities which are un-
able to pay their way.
The highway bonds, they assert, are
nc different than any other state bonds
and should be retired as are other bond
issues-out of the general fund.
1t is estimated that 81 cents Of each
dollar for highway construction work, is
paid out to labor To divert 1000, 900
will mean laying off thousands who are
now being helped to withstand the de-
preston by highway work, and prove a
serious handicap to public construction
work. now needed as never before, not
only for the material development 1t
means to the state, but to provide work
for thousands who would otherwise be
idle
The national governments rehabilita-
ton program calls for increasing public
works instead of decreasing them. If
California handicaps its construction
program by crippling the gasoline tax
funds, it is flying in direct opposition
to the recovery program outlined by
President Roosevelt.
Diversion of the gasoline tax money
is opposed by such state leaders as Sen
ators Roy FELTON,, Arthur Breed, J. NJ.
Inman, j. l. Wagy and Senator Ben
Hulse of this county. 1t has been con-
demned by the California Federation of
Labor, leading automobile clubs, motor
lists in general, chambers of commerce,
city councils and boards of supervisors.

A PIPE DREAM

COCIALISTIC, Boshevistic, Commun-
y istic, absolutely impractical and in
more common parlance, "a pipe dream.
These are some of the comments ap-
piled to Brawley'S proposal to build a
new city hall.
With approximately $4,000 in the
treasury, and many citizens delinquent
with their taxes, water bills and what
not, talk of building a city hall, and es-
pecially in these times, indicated the
man behind the idea needed a straight
Jacket
But R. L. Baker, Brawley's mayor,
who conceived the plan, didn't need
straight jacket Straight thinkers sell
dom do The mayor had no jacket on at
all the other day when he participated
in the dedication of Brawley's new city
hall.
It is building not only adequate for
the city's needs and pleasing to the ar
tistic eye, but it is monument to one
of the best assets any municipality could
have-community cooperation.
Men owed Brawley for their water
and their taxes, which they could not
meet All right, get out and do few
days work on the new city hall and we IL
wipe off the bill was Mayor Bakers
statement to them.
They got out They worked. And
somehow or other everyone got kick
out of it and not at it.
All Imperial Valley should be proud
of Brawleys fine bit of work. 1t should
be proud of Mayor Baker, who stood by
his idea and saw it bear fruit. Brawley
can Justly be proud of him, but should
not be surprised if he is borrowed Tor
larger things. And the use of the word
borrow. is ? reminder that other val
lev communities. not excepting Ell Cen
tro. might, with profit to themselves,
borrow something from Mayor Baker
and his pipe dream" 1t wasn't politics,
but it was mighty fine business.

PHYSICIAN DEFENDS
PROFESSIONS FEES
DR.. Dean Lewis Would Stress
Quality Rather Than
Cost of Care.

A plea for more public emphssis on
quality Of medical care, rather than its
cost, was made last night by DR.. Dean
Lewis. professor Of surgery at the Johns
Hopkins Medical School and president
elect Of the American Medical Associa-
ton, In an address at the closing session
Of the District Medical Society,s two
day scientific meeting.
DR.. Lewis also deplored the present
trend away from the family doctor and
toward too much specialization. The
family physician, he said, Is the foun-
dalton Tor all forms Of medical service
and the best guide for the public.
Referring to the report Of the Com
mittee on Cost Of Medical Care, which
recommended group practice and lower
fees, Dr.. Lewis declared that the less
we talk about the report the less we
will hear of 1t. The report need not be
given more public attention by talking
about It,"
Enjoys Collecting Fees.

continued, but on the whole I think
they are reasonable. I have no trouble
collecting fees. In fact, rather enjoy
it-so many interesting things about
human nature can be learned.

GIBSON MAY Be is.
F.. ENVOY TO BRAZIL
Arms Expert Is Reported
Slated for Transfer From
Brussels Post.

Hugh s. Gibson, United States AM
basador to Belgium will be transferred
in the same capacity to Rio de Jane1ro,
1t was reported today.
Since 1927 Ambassador Gibson has
been the jack of all trades OF the
State Department.
While officially he represented
America at the court Of King Albert
of Belgium. in fact he covered most OF
the important assignments during these
last years, at all the conferences which
were held either at Geneva, or In
London.
He was Americas disarmament ex-
pert in Europe. Whether the conferences
were held at Geneva or anywhere else
the American delegation was pever
complete without Gibson. He won his
spurs as an able negotiator at the
Geneva Naval Disarmament Conference
In 1927. After that he represented the
United States at all the Geneva meet
ings whether this country was repre-
sented officially or unofficially. Every
time Ambassador Dawes. who conducted
those preliminaries without the help OF
any naval experts, got entangled be-
cause Macdonald had to take the ad-
vice of his admiralty. Gibson was sent
10 help the Ambassador to the Court
Of st. James.
The presence Of Gibson as ambassa-
dor at large for that is really what he
was during the Hoover administration,
Is no longer needed, because President
Roosevelt has sent Norman H. Davis to
Europe in that capacity. and with fuller
powers than Gibson ever had. Some Of
his friends were seriously concerned
that on account of his having been SO
close to the previous administrations, he
may not be employed in q diplomatic
capacity by the Democrats. But Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who wants to use all
the talents he can find at hand, even
though the man may have different
political views, has given him the am
bassadorship in Brazil, one Of the most
important diplomatic positions In South
America.
