MANY NEW STATE LAWS AFFECT
IMPERIAL IRRIGATION DISTRICT

Legislative bills affecting Imper-
ial Irrigation district and residents
therein are a source Of wide in
terest in the valley since adjourn
ment of the legislature and a sum-
mary of the measures prepared by
the California Irrigation Districts
association received at district
I headquarters here this week clar-
flied uncertainty in some instances.
District officials today received a
copy of all the bills and are en-
gagged in making a study of them.
soon as possible.
possible
Due to the wide interest in the
measures, The Press will carry the
gist of them in a series of articles
the first Of which appears today
A majority of the bills become
effective August 81, 1893.
Senate bill No. 9, however, now
is In effect and makes several
changes In irrigation laws. 1t re-
duces the penalties on Delinquent
cieS to 10 per cent on the first in
Stallment and per cent on the
second inStallment. II also pro-
vides that the penalty on redemp-
ton shall be at the rate of 8 per
cent per annum instead of at the
rate of l8 per cent as at present.
1t also provides that all sales
for delinquent assessments shall be
made to the district. The per
cent penalty will apply on the sec
ond installment of assessments de-
linquent this month. 1t does not
apply to sales heretofore made
This will greatly simplify the work
of the collector in making delin-
quent tax sales. 1t does not change
the three-year period of redemp-
ton.
In senate bill No. 65, provision
is made that where sales have
been made to the district for de-
iinquent assessments prior to Apri
/, 1888, redemptions may be made
by payment in four equal install
ments OF the amount Of the original
assessment together with interes
at the rate of 7 per cent per an
mum. The first payment, however
must be made prior to March l
1884, and each succeeding install.
ment must be paid on or before
March l, of the year following.
Fees Eliminated
Senate bill No. 161 amends sec
ton 4295A of the political code anc
provides that irrigation district;
shall no longer be required to pay
filing or permit fees to the division
of water rights.
Together with assembly bill Nos
senate bill All relates to the sale o.
property where it has been decided
to more than one taxing agenc!
and provides that an irrigation dis
trict may purchase from the stat
or any other taxing agency or ma!

take an option for the purchase of
property which has been decided 10
more than one taxing agency.
Valuation of the organization o.
improvement districts within irri-
CATION districts is provided in SEN
ate bill Asst.
In senate bill 694, it is provided
that an irrigation district may car
ry public liability insurance cover
ing the district and any of its di-
rectors, officers and employees and
pay the premium out of its general
fund. Senate bill 1877 provides that
district may, on such terms as 1t
deems for the best interests of the
district. take a deed or lease from
any claimant, including the state or
any other taxing agency, to an in
terest in any property owned or
claimed by the district.
After ame 7ments and changes,
senate bill 81 provides that claims
or demands against any irrigation
district presented by any member
of the board of directors or by any
other officer or employee for mile
age, personal expenses or for MONEY
expended by the claimant for and
on behalf of the district, shall be
item;zed and sworn to before the
secretary of the board, the secre-
tary being authorized to take such
affidavit.
Doubt of the constitutionality of
senate bill 1896 is expressed by the
association. The bill purports to
provide a method of procedure by
which property owners, may,
through court action, pay their
proportion of the bonded indebted
ness. A test case is predicted.
Provision for method and man
ner for districts and other subdi-
visions to issue a duplicate bond or
warrant when the original is lost or
stolen is provided by SB1208.

Editors Note: The follow

WASHINGTON, June 81. - In
opposition to those economists con-
Stituting the "brain trust' guild
ing the new economic policy of the
Roosevelt administration, stands q
large group of skeptics whose crit
icisms will be the basis of the at
tack to be expected if the expert

They believe the administration
is attempting a job beyond human
limitations.
These doubters feel that the econ

regarded as part Of an eternal
scheme of things are being entirely
repealed. They are unable to WIS.,
ualize a people with the traditions
of Americans living under another
economic order.

VETERAN RACE
DRIVER HERE

Driving a car 10000 miles in a
year would be tough job for the
average motorist, but it is just
duck soup" for Eddie Pullen, ia
nous old-time racing driver, who
attracted considerable attention
today as he drove his car about the
city.
Pullen, now an automotive en-
gineer for the Pennzoil Company,
called on Edgar Brothers, valley
distributors for the Ford car, the
veteran racer having run UP his
10000 miles in a model va Ford.
In the course of his mileage he
has covered much of the Pacific
states territory, and nearly half of
his mileage-3300 900 miles to be ex-
act-was accumulated on the Mo-
iave desert in June and July of
last year, in temperatures ranging
as high as $50 degrees. Pullen ran
up 1000 miles day for 80 days
on the desert course.
He was national champion in 1914
and holds the American road race
record averaging 87.8 miles per
hour for 300 miles on the old Cor
ona course. He also holds the round
trip record for the Los Angeles to
Phoenix run, making it last year
in Ford in IA hours and 26 min
utes.
Pullen has kept data to prove
his statement that he gets between
Is and 10 miles to the gallon of
gasoline in his Ford and runs 1000
miles on a quart of oil.
His car, decorated with various
statistics, and a desert scene of his
driving in the Mojave, was inspect
ed by many during his visit here

REV. DOUCHERTY
HEARD MONDAY AT
CONVENT SCHOOL
GIVES ADDRESS IN CoNNEc-
TON WITH CHARACTER
CULTURE COURSE RESUM-
ED AT INSTITUTION

The Character Culture Course
was resumed yesterday by Rev.
erend Father Dougherty, S. j., in
the high school department of the
Convent of Mary Immaculate, and
to the high school department of
the st. Joseph's College this
morning.
The subject was "The Machin-
cry of the Human Mind" He
said "the mind is the starting
point of every great and noble
deed and also for every crime and
sin in life.
every great character began
to be great, first in the mind, and
every criminal began his first
step towards delinquency behind
the closed doors of his own brain.
"The mind cannot be satisfac-
torily defined, but description of
the mental faculties, their nature,
classification and mutual relations
can be explained.
1.-THE bodily faculties, the
senses, nervous system and the
brain which come first into con-
tact with reality-external reality
can be described and demon
started. Then the imagination
and memory and the laws of their
operation--growth and develop
ment follow naturally.
"The sensations and the investi-
cations of the nature and condi-
tions of the most elementary
forms of pleasure and pain are
daily evidenced. The intellect
follows. The examination of this
faculty necessarily includes pro-
cesses of conceptions-judgment
and reasoning. These are merely
different functions of the same
cognitive power, the intellect. All
forms of learning may be reduced
to one relatively simple schematic
type: reception of impressions
through the senses; assimilation,
analysis and combination of pro-
cesses of the mind; the redirection
of impulses to produce a reaction
or simple perceptions -assimila-
tion-response.
The talk was interesting and in
structive. The next talk will be
on the Education of the WHIP,
and its influence in the formation
of character.
