COUNCIL ACTS
To GET TAXES
Declares Occupation Licenses
Must Be Paid And Threatens
Action On Delinquencies.

Taking a firm stand in the mat
ter of delinquent occupation taxes
the city council at its regular meet
ing last night went on record to
issue instruction that for the fut-
ure, city employees should confine
their business dealings to those
firms or individuals only who had
complied with the city ordinance
by paying the requisite fees. It was
further determined that city busi-
ness should also be confined to
such firms.
G. S. Conner, Earl Northrup and
Ed Mulligan appeared before the
council to protest against provis-
ions of city ordinance No. 339 COW
ering the distribution of pure milk
and cream and submitted to the
board a copy of San Diego ordin-
ance No. 12939, asking the council
to make a study of this ordinance
and to draft one similar to it for
use in Ell Centre. After some dis
cussion the matter was referred to
Councilman Anderson for further
investigation.
w. A. Payne, principal of the East
Side school appeared before the
board accompanied by a delegation
of teachers and ministers to protest
against the granting of permit to
Maggie brothers for the erection of
a brewery on South Main street. 1t
was pointed out that this site would
be too close to the school and two
churches in that vicinity and for
that reason the proposed brewery
would be Objectionable. G. B. Col
Inns, county school superintendent
also appeared before the board in
this matter and a letter was read
from Dr. j. L. CASTOR, pastor of the
Second Baptist church who was also
against the proposed brewery. The
matter was taken under considera-
ton by the board.
Act on Dog Taxes
The board approved proposed
proclamation for Public School
Week and recommended that it be
issued for publication by the mayor.
A letter was received from ra-
dio station KFSD asking the board
effort to have the Amos and An
dy" program continue as part of
the regular broadcast routine of
that station. The board took no ac-
ton on this.
| Councilman Anderson brought
up the question of collection of dog
taxes by the city After some dis
cussion it was determined that the
chief of police should either coHect
this license tax or destroy all dogs
whose owners did not pay the fee
required.
Upon the recommendation of
Mayor Rice and Phil Knights, city
engineer, who had been appointed
at a previous meeting to consider
the question more in detail, the
board adopted resolution that wa
ter rates for the schools of the
city should be set at IL cents per
1000 gallons until some further ac-
ton might be taken by the board.
Owing to lack of definite in
formation regarding beer legisla-
ton from Sacramento nothing was
done about regulation the beer sales
in the city.
The council adjourned to meet
again at 4 o'clock next Monday af-
ternoon.

porters receive the same sums in
dollars and cents.
President Rooseyelt's detectives
are a cheaper dollar, higher prices
here and abroad, and, eventually a
stabilization of world currencies in
relation to each other.
Stocks Become Active
Stock and commodity markets
boiled upward after Mr.. Roosevelt's
announcement that no more metal
would be shipped abroad to main
tain the gold parity of the 81 bill.
In a few hours the American dol
lar, standard of value throughout
the world since 1919, dropped to 90
cents. 1t is expected to go to 85 and
perhaps lower.
How far the depreciation Of the
dollar abroad will boost domestic
prices cannot be foretold. But the
new bill will give the President SUI
preme authority to take further
action to put prices up to a profit
able level and arrest deflation.
The measure was drafted around
a proposal by Senator Thomas,
Dem, Okla, back bench and fire.
quently rebellious member of the
upper house.
Thomas said the plan would au-
thorize the President:
l. To revalue the dollar by chang
! ing its gold content.
| 2. To print United States notes
! in quantities to be determined by
| the President.
8. To accept silver up to the
value of $1O0,00000O in payment of
interest or principal on wa rdebts.

Administration officials hope AM
! erica's abandonment of the gold
standard will bring lasting i'm
provement in prices that will sti-
mulate business and prove benefit
cial in the long run to persons in
every walk of life.
Already the stock and commo-
dity markets have jumped upward.
Every gain in wheat and corn helps
the farmer. And as prises rise, in
dividuals and corporations tend to
buy in larger quantities because
they think prices may go still high
er. The sellers in turn are getting
more for their products and have
more money to spend for other
goods.
Gradually the increased prices
make the cost of living higher, and
this will work some hardship on
wage earners and salaried persons
whose income remains fixed. OFF,
cials hope improved business would
lead later to higher wages that
would offset this disadvantage.
The effect of abandoning the
gold standard is felt most directly
in international finance and trade,
and there it is expected to prove
a powerful stimulant to American
foreign trade.
Cut off from the gold standard,
the American dollar is left to find
a lower level in terms of other ma
tons money. AS the dollar de-
clines, foreigners can buy Ameri-
can goods more cheaply.

TlCKERS FALL BEHIND
New Surge OF Optimism Grips
Wall Street As Abandonment
Of Gold Standard Is Felt.
By MAX BUCKINGHAM
United Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, April 20.-Stock
and commodity markets responded
with rush today to the trend to-
ward initiating American currency.
New York stock exchange shares
changed hands at rate of 17,000,-
900 shares for full five hour day.
Tickets fell q minutes behind the
market. Price gains ranged up to
8 points.
Cotton, rubber, silk and silver
futures markets in New York and
the grain market in Chicago we're
staging equally strong demonstra-
tionS
In the financial district of Man
haitian there was q new surge of
optimism. Brokers laughed and
chatted in voices that had become
hoarse by yesterdays frenzied trad
ing. Elevator operators and guards
lost their dour expressions.
The opening on the stock eX-
change was the most vigorous since
the dark days of 1929. Traders ar
rived early. The floor was crowd
ed before 9:45 a. m. The noise of
trying to reach a price on favor
ties for the opening was transform
ed into a constantly swelling din.
The steel crowd was particularly
active for steel again has become
the market belwether.
Once the gong sounded there
was terrific shout for stocks. Quo
tations started rolling out on the
Trans-Lux truckers in tremendous
blocks-10,000, 10000 and even 40,-
900 shares-at highly increased
prices. Steel as per custom, was
slow in coming out while traders
tried to reach a price. But it sud-
denly appeared as "X-800, 40'
meaning that overnight the mar
ket had jumped two points. There
was a terrific clamor. Steel leaped
forwSrd two more pionts in the
next few minutes. Meanwhile out
came 10000 shares of International
Nickel, up 39s points from yester-
day There were $4,000 shares of
General Motors up 2$ points,
10000 shares of Montgomery Ward
up 81 points
With each passing minute the
market seemed to be gaining
strength and momentum.
This spirit swept to the New York
cotton exchange, a spacious, we'll
lighted and ventilated trading floor
on the 10Th floor of the new Ex-
change building overlooking New
York harbor.
Traders were there early getting
at their places around the ring" a
sunken area in the center of the
floor where the trading is done.
They were hoarse from yesterdays
activity but no less eager for the
new day.
