DOWD EXPLAINS DISTRICT PLAN
FOR REFINANCING TO CHAMBER

$3.50 900 less in revenue. In addi-
ton, Dowd stated, there has been
loss of revenue from Mexico and
other losses in income, totalling
81 200, 900.
1.-The valley" the speaker stated,
''has in the past and will in the
future meet its just obligations
All it needs, like other commun-
ities.. is a breathing spell and this
refinancing plan will give it the
needed breathing SPELL Because of
interest and principal payments
which will fall due and are now
due, the valley, unless this plan of
refinancing is approved, is faced
with a wall of debt which cannot
be surmounted This plan calls for
immediate relief by deferrment of
payments for some six years and
for reduction in interest on bonds"
Interest Reduced
In 1893, according to this plan,
interest will be cut so per cent,
in 1884 the cut will be go per cent,
in 1885 cut of 40 per cent, in
1896 20 per cent reduction and back
to the normal rate in 1897.
There will also be a saving in
interest on registered warrants, ac-
cording to Dowd and, through this
plan, the interest on neither will
be paid out of a tax levy during
1888. The new bonds will be sink
ing fund bonds, rather than serial
bonds as are the present and, ac-
cording to the proposed plan pres
ent bonds which mature in 1888
and 1884 will be exchanged for
sinking fund bonds, due in 1899
and 1912, other bonds will be ex-
changed for new bonds due in
1882. A serial bond, it was ex-
planned, has to be met each year,

Voters of Imperial county were
urged to vote at the Imperial Ir-
rigation District election to be held
on January II, by NJ J. Dowd,
chief engineer of the district, at
yesterdays El Centre Chamber of
Commerce luncheon. Dowd ex-
planned that approval of the dis
trict's bond refinancing plan by
the voters will entail no new OBJ
legations nor Indebtedness, and that
approval of this plan, as well as of
the canal contract, both of which
matters come before the people at
that time, is of the greatest i'm
portance to the people of this
community.
Dowd explained that private con-
Germs, banks, building and loan
companies, ETC., were meeting OBJ
legations through the refinancing
corporation act passed at the last
session of congress. Public util-
tiles, however, cannot avail them
selves of this act and after care

take the place of present bonds.
1t was explained by the speaker
that the district has two items of
cost, the cost of operation and
maintenance and fixed charges.
Cost of maintenance has been cut
from $500, 900 in 1880 to $1,0O0,-
600 in 1882, but fixed charges can
not be cut in spite of a decrease

 Labor And The NRA
Increased Buying Power in Order to Furnish More Jobs at Better Wages Is the Objective of the
 Recovery Act-It Is Working We'll

The federal reconstruction pro- gram, under the public works sec- ton of the recovery act, will soon be well under way. This will pro- vide employment for thousands of skilled and unskilled workers who will again be drawing pay enve- lopes with a decent living wage in them.
 The increased purchasing power so provided should be an added factor in checking the downward economic spiral and be of help in starting us on the climb to pros- perity.
 The department of labor is be- ing administered for the eonomic improvement of the country's workers and to safeguard their in- terests in every way possible un- der the National Recovery Act. The labor advisory board is consulted by General Johnson along with the employers advisory board and the consumers advisory board. on the code reports which are made to him. The department of labor and its facilities are constantly at the disposal of the national recovery administration and particularly the labor advisory board and the na- tional labor board which attempts to mediate strikes and industrial disputes.
 With such outstanding represen- tatives of labor as William Green, John Frey, George L. Berry, John l.. Lewis, J. A. Franklin. Rev. Francis J. Haas, Sidney Hillman, Rose Schneiderman and Leo Vol man on the labor advisory board and the department of labor stand ing by, there is no question in my mind but what the case of the working men and women of the country will always be ably and properly represented in National Recovery Act procedure.

MODIFICATION
 OF EMIGRATION

Japan and China Want Rigid Rules in United States and Canada, Al- tered or Dropped

United Press Staf Crrespondent)
 Banff, Alta, Aug 2-Confidential negotiations to modify emigration restrictions in North America were undertaken today by Oriental del- egates to the institute of Pacific relations.
 Japanese and Chinese represen- tatives, confronted with ever press ing problems of population, opened negotiations in an attempt to ob- tain modification of exclusion acts in the United States and Canada. Confidential meetings also were un- derway between Japanese and British groups looking toward set clement of the cotton textile dis pute which will be the subject of an official conference at Simla in October.
 The United Press learned that both Japanese and Chinese groups met with Canadian delegations in an effort to solve conflicts. The chief subject discussed, it was learned, was restrictions placed on Japanese and Chinese emigration.
 Oriental nations pressed the viewpoint that if restriction was based on quota in accord with the number of national already presS ent, national feeling would be ap- peased.t
 Canadian labor, however, repre- sented by Percy R. Benough, of the trades and labor congress or Canada, presented the view that no emigration of any character would be permitted until unemployment in Canada had been eliminated. After that, Benough said, first con- sideration would be given to emil grafton from the British isles ana the United States.
 Similar discussions, the United Press learned, concerned Ameri- can and Oriental nations. In these China and Japan met the strongest opposition from Paul Scharrenberg, secretary of the California Federa- tion of labor.
 Scharrenberg took the position that Oriental labor should not be permitted. to enter the United States until preparations for its em ployment at a standard of liv- ing comparable to that existing In America had been made.
 Chief interest was centered Tn the Canadian dispute. Under pres ent regulations a limited number of Japanese are admitted but all Chinese are barred. Canadian la Dor representatives pointed out that there was less objection to Japanese immigration since per- sons of that race were more amen able to union organization.
 Anglo-Japanese discussion re- garding cotton textile dispute were closely guarded. The general ex- pectation was that If an agreement between Lancashire and Japanese manufacturers is to be reached 1t will be here rather than at Simla.

 Washington, Aug. 23-(UP)- Increased buying power so as to furnish more jobs at~better wages, is the objective of the National Re- covery Act. If 1t accomplishes this purpose wage-eanrers will gain greatly through a return to work of those unemployed or engaged in part time activities, and the payment to them of decent living wages regularly.
 Some evidence of the type of benefits to labor through the act is already at hand. Minimum wa ges and maximum hours are pro- vided for inthe codes ofthe diff ferent industries.

Certainly these are great gains for labor in the test to adjust our industrial life tothe patterns of democracy and the needs of a new day.

 If and when the turn is made industry and the general public will share with labor in the bene- fits of the act. It is the pay enve- lopes of average workers, combin- ed with the income of farmers which make up the bulk of the pur- chasing power of the United States. once the ability to buy again on a healthy scale is created we shall find ourselves emerging from out Ana we must then begin the sys- tenn of balancing production and consumption on the basis of know ledge.
