IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
WHERE WAS THE WHIP?

Is EVERYTHING going to be so rosy
l after March 4?
Since November we have been led to
believe that with Democratic executive,
backed up by a Democratic congress,
legislation would go through congress as
smooth as water through a sieve, and
that the usual pickering and battling
would be thing of the past.
But developments in congress on the
army appropriation bill would indicate
different state of affairs.
The Democratic leaders and the Dem
ocratic appropriations committee favor
ed among other things abolishment of
the Citizens Military Training Camps as
a measure of economy. President Hoov-
er had recommended an appropriation of
$1,000,000 for this purpose Despite a
Democratic house, the members ran COM
pletely away from the control of the
Democratic leaders and voted S2,500000
for the camps.
We are not criticizing the size of the
appropriation. 1t happens we are pre-
JUDGED in favor of the camps, believing
them a good thing for the country from
every angle. though they might be dis
pensed with temporarily, but we do man.
age to enjoy a couple of snickers at the
and their apparent inability to control
their forces.
True it is the battle was led by Re-
publican Representative Barbour of
California; but he had the vigorous sup
port of Democrats despite the pleas of
their leaders to carry out an economy
program.
If Democratic leadership can do no
better than this on such comparatively
minor matter, we fear, without becoming
unduly pessimistic, for its ability to cope
with the really serious problems that are
to be confronted in the special session of
congress to be called after March 4.
A party with heavy working major
ity, but without adequate leadership to
control it, can be as Intellectual as
though it were deadlocked by an equal
ly large opposition party.

A 10 per cent tax on gross re-

Mexico has been levied by Presi-

routing shipments through Mexico
instead of sending them through

Vicks Expands
 in Depression
Research Discovers New Products Employing Ad'
 ditiOnaI Hands
(speelal to Tho DemoeraD

Greensboro, N. C, Feb. 3~-The House of Vieks, famous for its various household preparations and plan for better Gontrol-of colds has It's own way Of overcoming deprcB- sion. Instead of retrenehing, it ex- bands. It employs more people, spends more on it's research di- vision in developing new products; moro money advertising them. This, in turn, requires tho purchase Of more raw materials, and helps other business in allied lines.
 Just lately, Vieks introduced a new product, Vieks V0ratono AntI- septic. In its production, and In preparation for it's marketing, thousands Of people were given new or extra employment. Three weeks ago, l32 carloads of this new mouthwash and garglo wont out through wholesale druggists to Ameriea's G0,000 drug stores. In each carload, th6fo was m added slice Of prosperity for b0ttle'mak- CTS, cap manufacturers, carton makers, glass and paper mills, printers and eDgrayers, to say nothing of the various sources of raw materials for tho product It. self; and tho thousands for whom pay envelopes were created or fat- tened.
 Nor does all this take into ac- count the $700,000 appropriated for tho Vicks Antiseptic introduce tory advertising campaign, over S5 DOT cent of which is being spent in newspaper space. It's Vicks an- swer to the challenge of the times ."Can new business be created in Q period of depression?"
 Vicks believes that 1t can be done. In fact, is proving 1t. There has been an amazing public re- sponse to the announcement of this new product, of which there were 5,000,000 trial bottles made avail. able to druggists below cost of manufacture, to make 1t easy for the public to test and prove It's quality and economy. Born in q depression year, Vicks Antiseptlc has been priced in keeping with the times.
 Immediate success of this new Vlcks product has not been uncx- pected. A year ago, Vicks intro- duced two other new preparations, Vicks Nose & Throat Drops and NiChS McoiCdteu NOubH bFoDs' lHc usual advertising appropriations for 8 normal year was more than doubled, and sales of both products went above quotas in like propor- tion. The Nose Drops-new aid in preventing colds-took immediate lead in It's particular field. More than 20,000,000 packages of the cough drops were sold during the first season. Sales so far this win- ter are practically double last years figures for the same period.
 Vick's Antiseptic represents the first departure from the exclusive field of colds for the House of Vicks. It's introduction was based upon recognition of the place that oral antiscptics have taken in al- most every household as q modern hygenic necessity.

How Fall River Cut
 Costs 36.6 In 1882
Experience of Mass. Industrial Center Possible Any,
 where Finance Commission Tells N. E. Council

Rivers success has been due to application of business principles to city management, as Chairmnn Jaekson's report points out" MT Harmon said.
 Another significant fact in tho experience Of Fall River is that tho finance commission found it worth while to hire experts from outside to survey various depart. ments and recommend savings. and that in every case the resultant economics hayc more than justi. fled that procedure" MT Harmon pointed out.
 In reporting the various means by which Fall isilVer's budget was reduced. Chairman Jackson states:
 "Wh0t we need i8 more study of our financial situations. Tho people of overy community need to be re- awakened. It ia time for them to resume the civic and neighborly responsibilities which they have unloaded onto the government"
 Applying these principles, tho h- nance commission found 1t neeoE. sary to reduce salaries in Fall River 20 per cent, and eliminated excess personnel, saving in salaries alone nearly s1,2B0,000 q year Prior to tho appointment of the commission c consolidation Of city departments which saved $1i,00G h year was effected. The school budget was reduced more than 90 per cent, through salary reductions, elimination of teachers and jaBi. tors, closing kindergartona,. and closing some buildings. Closing four branch libraries has saved $30,000 q year.
 Surveys Of the police and fro de- partments, made by experts, have indicated eeonomioa, which arc be- ing put into effect gradually. Street expenditures have been made for maintenance only. Garbage eollee' ton costs and truck hire costs have been greatly reduced,
 Following m expert survey by physicians from New York, Boston, and Providence, the municipal hospital system has been reorgnn' iged, cutting costs 70 per cent with out lmpairIng services 10 citizens. The system of relief distribution now used in Fall River was adopt. cd after m extensive study Of methods in other cities. It pro- vldes food stations for distribution of provisions, and supplies Rde- quate food to tho needy at q sav- ing of 90 per cent to the city over the method previously used, MT Jaokaon'R reDoFt shows,
