One militarist suggested construc-

HOLTVILLE DOES FINE JOB

Holtvilles big party celebrating the
appropriation for the All-American ca
nal goes down in valley history as an en-
cellent success and is deserving of such
distinction.
That such program could be ar
ranged and carried out with only "a
hours notice is most remarkable, and the
people Of Holtville deserve the fullest
commentator for their ability to play
the role Of host and play it well.
We heard comment that there was an
absence of life" or perhaps a lack of
enthusiasm in the crowd of over 10000
that attendd the celebration. There was.
those who expected the carnival spirit of
e New Years eve or a Fourth of July
Celebration were doomed to diSappoint-
ment.
The reason is not hard to find Impe-
rial Valley ranchers have hardly yet full
ly realized that the canal fight is over,
that the money is on the way and that
actual construction will start soon The
change from battle to victory has been
too sudden to be thoroughly appreciated.
Just as the armistice caught MANY a
battle-weary soldier unable to appreciate
Its full significance, so the news from
Washington has had less outward effect
on those to whom it means the most =
the ranchers - than it has on others of
US who, while vitally concerned and
affected by the canal, will not be as init
mately touched by its completion.
Last nights crowd was typical val
ley crowd with ranchers predominating.
They have hoped so long and battled so
hard that they can only hug the news in
wardly. Waving torches and shouting
'hurrah' is not the method they use to
express their qualification.
This does not mean that they are not
thankful. They are but they merely have
a different way of expressing it. The
rancher may not be able to put it into
words but he knows what the canal will
mean to him.
1t will take some sort of ceremony.
such as turning the first shovel of earth.
or seeing the water enter the canal. to
make most of US realize that it is not all
a dream.

HEED CHILD LABOR LAWS

Employers of Imperial Valley will do
well to heed the warning issued by the
county school superintendent against il
legally employing minors.
Notice that strict enforcement Of the
anti-child labor and compulsory educa-
tiOn laws has been ordered by the state
superintendent of public instruction has
been received here
There is no inSinuation intended that
valley employers are violating the law.
A few may be- while others may be
Ignorant OF the laws governing the en-
pIOyment of minors.
The state demands that all children of
school age be in school during the hours
the schools are in session. Working
them during such hours is a violation Of
the law. Nor can children of school age
be employed after school hours, unless
proper permit has been obtained
Employers who use minors in their
business should, for their own protec-
ton, familiarize themselves with the law
governing employment of juveniles, to
make sure they are not violating it.
The law is not designed to work
hardship on any law-abiding employer
and reasonable work outside of school
hours is not illegal if a proper permit
has been obtained.
Working children in violation of the
state law merits severe punishment and
school authorities. who are held respon-
sible for upholding the law in their par
ticular districts, are cooperating with
state officials to see that the regulations
against child labor are not being broken

I HE NllJKLlJK TRAIL !.
(BY E, L. BARTLETT1

WASHINGTON, May 22- The Department of the Interior is again considering the imposition of tolls on traffic moving over the Richardson Highway.
 This plan, advanced last year and authorized by an act of Con- gress granting the Secretary of the Interior authority to make pay ment of tolls compulsory, is now fin the process of having teeth put into it..
 The Senate has passed and the House before it for consideration d bin providing fine of $100 or imprisonment for 30 days, or both, for those violating rules and reg ulations which may be established.
 As originally conceived, the idea was that tolls would prevent through freight from being haul ed over the highway and thus would prevent competition with the Alaska Railroad. The same purpose prevails now, but appears to go even further
 It has, been stated that the De- par tmeat has under consideration 3 , schedule calling for tolls on all motor vehicles using the highway, Including ears used for pleasure purposes as we'll as trucks and bus es A fiat annual charge would
 be made for pleasure cars, it is Auhderstood
 Believing it to be wholly unjust ahd discriminatory, Delegate Di-
 mend is opposing the proposal with Eagl the vigor at his command. He Ehas already had two conferences with Secretary Ickes On the sub- ject. In his first talk with the Secretary he gained the impression irthat the Departm ent would be will ing 10 let the toll idea go by the
 board if the territory would apply I a portion tof it's road funds to
 maintaining the Richardson High
 way, which would simply mean ;fhat Federal funds thus released
 would be used elsewhere in Alaska and the whole procedure would be, in fact, merely bookkeeping tran saction.
 The Delegate immediately wired iGONernor Troy, Highway Engin- feer William Hesse and Treasurer fWaktien G. Smith, composing the TT Tertitorial aboard of road commits sionars, and the board agreed to a1lot $1O,0sO annually for mainten- fanec of the highway for the next a..wo years.
 \ MT. Dimend transmitted the hoard.s decision to Secretary Ickes only to be informed that the De- Ipartm eat had intended only to ex- ! empt pleasure cars from tolls if Ebe Territory contributed to main ltenance of the highway The Del egate had not so understood at the loriginal conference, but the Secre ltary was adamant.
 There the matter rests now, but De1egae Dimond is prepared to do everything he can do to prevent the establishment Of tolls.
 He has been informed that it is unlikely that thea enforcing bill. providing penalties for violations of Richardson Highway regulations will be reported out of the House Committee on Territories at this |sessfOn.
