Endurance
CRAIG POTTlNGER, Editor

The deed Of endurance determination can always
win the admiration and applause of men, for in it is
revealed quality needful in every mans life story
To be skllful shrewd fortunate may be the priv
lege of the few, but to carry on against odds and
stick it out when weakness invites surrender is the
sort Of conduct that life asks of every man. Those
who have watched the flying men make records of
endurance have paid at least their principal tribute
to the and their courage rather than to machines
and the skill that has kept them in the air. The final
achievement is triumph of human courage the
dray of physical necessities victory of the spirit
over the world in which it lives
Life itself is an endurance test, whose goal is
uncertain and whose reward is In doubt Few OF us
could surely determine its purpose foresee it's out
come. Yet with few exceptions, men take up its cha
lenge determined to do the difficult thing and the
daring thing despite the countless opportunities for
surrender to ease and indifference that come to them
Refueled now and then with fresh hope and the COM
forng contact of friendly encouragement they spend
their strength to the limit to leave behind record OF
achievement This is the spirit that has lifted
from the dust of which he is made and given wings
to his spirit This makes him master of his world and
of his own destiny.
Correct this sentence Lets not stop; it's only
dog fight"
It is safer to guess that the headlight nearest to
YOU is the one that is out.
Now if the efficiency experts could only devise
some means of utilizing the leftover advice!
To err is human And in some cases that is about
the only human characteristic dlscernabe.
Then there is the fellow whose idea of fame is
to have one of his testimonials read over the radio.
Women rule a certain tribe of Indians in Peru.
Which is further evidence that civilization is spread

|ND|CT ESTES
IN DEATH CASE

Cliinaxing several weeks of in
vestigation, the Imperial county
grand jury late yesterday afternoon
returned two indictments, one
naming w. E. Estes as the murder
er of Sam Stanley, and the other
a secret indictment on which no
bench warrants had been issued to-
day.
In view of the recent investiga-
ton into details of asserted viola
tions of the alien land law, it was
generally thought today that the
secret Indictment is concerned with
this matter. There is no way of
determining the persons named in
the Indictment.
The indictment of Estes came af-
ter District Attorney Elmer w.
Heald presented to the grand jury
evidence gathered Wednesday af-
ternoon, after Estes shot and killed
Stanley at a service station four
miles north of Holtville, because
Stanley called him a vile name.
Losing no time. the district at
torney's office took Estes before
Judge Vaughn NJ Thompson this
morning for arraignment on the in
dictment. On the assertion by Es-
teS that he is arranging for the SER
vices of an attorney, Judge Thomp-
son continued the arraignment un-
til Tuesday morning Ernest R.

BANKS UNDER
GOVERNMENT
(By United Press

The American banking system
was today under the dominance
OF President Roosevelt and the

of sweeping powers granted the
administration by emergency
legislation.
Supplementary developments
growing out of the new money
dictatorship" were:
l. The federal government
hurried an investigation of all
banking institutions, to deter
mine those which are sound
enough to reopen.
2. No banks will reopen before
Saturday, but hope was express
ed that a majority may resume
business next Monday.
3. Extension of the bank h0li-
day indefinitely, by presidential
proclamation, was for two pur-
poses: (a) to investigate the
condition of the banks; and
lb) to permit the sound banks
to clear away the mountain of
unfinished business piled up dur
ing the holiday, in order to be
ready for reOpening.
4. The New York clearing
house has begun clearing checks
frozen" in transit at the start
of the holiday.
5. Gold hOarders, inspired by
fear of punishment, were pour
ing metal back into the federal
reserve banks of every district
and into their own banks. In
New York, S65,000,000 was re-
turned in fouI days.
6. The federal government is
printing currency at the rate
of S3O,OOO,OOO a day.

"I no scared of electric chair. I

ASSEMBLY PROGRESS HALTED
ON EMERGENCY BANKING BILL
Lower House Refuses To Accept Amend.
ments Provided By Senate Permitting
Withdrawal Of Public Funds.

San Francisco, author of the bill,
said tha withdrawal provision as in
cluded by the senate, was in direct
contrast to the policy of the fed
eral government. The hill, he
claimed, would not be acceptable to
the secretary of the treasury.
The senate and house conference
committee will convene later in the
day. Unless early agreement is
reached, the legislature may be
compelled to meet Saturday.
Assembly leaders, however, were
confident the Objectionable - to

The measure now goes to the gov

The bill limits the maximum in
terf st payable to depositors to S

SACRAMENTO March 10. {U.P)--
A special election and recess OF
the legislature probably will be nee
essary if the state revenue and tax
alton problems are solved this year,
according to Sen. Arthur II. Breed,
Oakland, president pro tenn or the
senate.
ANY major change in the states
system of taxation would require a
constitutional amendment and to
be effective in time to solve the
states present financial problems 1t
would be necessary to submit the
amendment to q vote of the people
at special election Senator
Breed said.
I'm the event sucn an election
was called, it likely would be nec-
essary for the legislature to take a
recess until action on the proposed
amendment was taken by the
voters. Then we could return ane
complete the legislation dependent
on the amendment
Senator Breed pointed out that
it was impossible to tell at this
time exactly what course would be
taken inasmuch as no action has
been taken on any of the score Oh
more new tax measures before the

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Un-
expected delay today postponed
bank reopening until tomorrow at
the earliest.
President Roosevelt issued proc
lamation late last night extending
the banking holiday and the gold
embargo indefinitely.
Until the treasury grants permiS-
sion, banks can perform only the
limited functions previously au-
thoriZed.
Treasury officials encountered dit-
ficulties in preparations for imme-
oiate reopening of banks under the
emergency act which was rushed
through congress and signed by Mr..
Roosevelt last night. They had ex-
pected to begin opening banks to-

The law gave the President dicta-
torial power over banks and pro-
vided for hundreds of millions of
new currency.
Shortly after midnight Secretary
of Treasury Woodin announced no
1eopening would be authorized be-
fore Saturday.
"It is obvious that it will not he
possible to act upon all of the ap-
plications even by Saturday" he
added, inviting the banks to ask
permission immediately to reopen.
When the banks open under the
new law, Woodin said, they will
be placed in a position to meet ali
demands"
The delay in reopenings was due
to two main reasons:
l. Checking the condition of
banks to determine which should
be opened up at once IS taking
more time than was anticipated.
2. Time is being allowed for state
banks to join the federal reserve
system in order TO obtain the bene-
fits granted under the emergency
legislation which permits wider lat
itude in obtaining new money.
Meantime the government en-
craving bureau here was running

RoIph Accused

SAN FRANCISCO, March 10.
W.P)-John P. Symes, son-in-law of
Gov. James Rolph, jr., and two busi-
ness associates were accused of
''wilful" fraud in an amended an
Swer on file in superior court here
today, contesting the states pay
ment of rent on the state building
annex.
The answer was filed by Ray J..
Riley, state controller, against whom
ROLAND A. Vandegrift, state fl
nance director, has sought a writ
of mandate to compel him to pay
a monthly rental of $5O68o4. Van
degrift negotiated a 25-year lease
with the rentors, Symes, Walter
Varney. airplane magnate, and
Harry Magee, local realtor.
The three rentorS, the answer al
legeS, 'wilfully and fraudulently
concealed the true facts as to the
cost OF the building" in obtaining
Vandegrift's signature. The an
swer continues:
''At the time of the execution of
the lease. Magee, Symes and Var
hey knew that the proposed build
ing would not lost S375,0O0 or any
sum whatsoever in excess of $240,-
00O."
The answer also attacks the va
lidity of Vandegrift's action, claim
ing the ultimate rental would ag-
gregate $,275,00 whereas state law
prohibits the. commonwealth from
undertaking indebtedness in excess
of 100000 without a vote OF the
