OFFICER FINDS
PICS IS PICS

1t is agreed that herding hogs
(the two-legged species) off the
highways is part of a traffic Off
GERS duties but it is doubtful if
these duties could be SO construed
as to include the care OF the four
legged road hogs who wander onto
the public ways.
Still such a task befell Walter
Walsh. a member of the county
traffic squad last night.
A truck loaded with hogs bound
from Imperial TO Los Angeles broke
it's rear axle about 10 miles north
of Brawley on U. S. highway No.
SO at $50 o'clock last night. With
a thump the rear END of the
truck struck the pavement, loos-
ened the endgate and then the fun
began. In a twinkling there were
porkers all over the landscape,
squealing and scared half to death.
Walsh was called from Brawley
to come and take charge of the
situation. Like Caesar, he came, he
saw, and--was nearly conquered.
He helped E. Samies, driver of the
truck, gather the pigs together
only to have them scanper off
again when frightened by the glare
of some approaching headlights.
When asked if all the pigs had
been recovered Walsh said he did
not know as he left the scene at 2
o'clock this morning and at that
time it seemed as if the pigs had
increased in number and slipperi-
ness hour by hour 1t was no joke,
he assured listeners, to which state
ment an emphatic approval was
given.

AWAIT SIGNING
Of SALES TAX

SACRAMENTO, July 81. U.P} -
Governor Rolph was expected to
return here today to affix his sig
nature to the 2A per cent sales tax
bill scheduled to become effective
tonight at midnight.
While considerable confusion ex-
lists concerning details of the bill,
the state board of equalization has
planned a series of meetings be-
ginning today at which rules and
regulations to be followed in the
administration of the tax will be
formulated.
In the meantime some $4,000 re-
tailers in the state face the neces-
sity of obtaining the 81 state IL
cense fee by means of which the
tax on gross retail sales will be as
sessed.
Returns on the sales of the first
quarter will be due between Octo-
ber and Is, with the merchants
subject to a 10 per cent penalty if
they fail to comply with this re-
quirement.
The board, in unofficial rulings,
already has held that legitimate
sales contracted before August /,
including thosS consummaEed
through charge accounts, will not
be subject to the tax.
The manner of passing the tax
on to consumers will be left entire
ly up to the merchants who may,
if they wish, absorb the tax. Re-
tailers cannot, however, advertise
that they are absorbing the new
levy.

as delegate of the Ell Centro Rotary
club of which he is a director.
The travellers stayed in Boston
throughout the duration OF the con-
yention which was attended by Ro-
tarians from all parts of the world,
and proved to be an interesting and
educational affair from every angle.
The return trip started from Bos-
ton on July l, with the first stop
at Portsmouth, NJ H., where the
navy yard was inspected.
From that point, stopovers and
places of interest seen included

/ Meyer visited many factories en-
route, particularly those manufac.
turing furniture and hardware.
Business throughout the south,
he stated today, except in textile
centers, is very poor. Farm laborer'
are working for 40 and SO cents {
day, and many are not working al
all. Nearly the same condition ex'
lists through the west and nortf
central states.
"In North Carolina and New Eng
land, the textile mills and tobacct
factories seem to be very busy fill
ing orders taken in anticipation O.
higher prices.
"There was considerable pickup
through the manufacturing states
especially in New England, New
York and Pennsylvania. The Pitts
burgh district is buster than it ha
been in years.
1.-The worlds fair at Chicago i
very remarkable in many ways an'
has sufficient diversity of attrac
tions to be of interest to all. tt
my mind there was great shortag
of exhibits of merchandise, as il
former worlds fairs.
II discussed the National Reco
very Act with many businessmen
The well-established industries o
units seemed to be willing to co
operate to the limit. Smaller, an
perhaps more efficient units, wer
, not so anxious, thinking they wi
be at a distinct disadvantage i
limiting their output, and bein
forced on the same plane as olde
plants. -
"As a whole the industries seem
ed to feel the experiment worth try
l. ing, but merchants could not Sc
how it could apply to them with
out a tremendous increase in tn
cost of doing business and forcing
them to advance prices, which ma
again stop buying"
