FIGHT FOR T. 3. FREE AREA
BRINGS NEW DEVELOPMENT

Halliday stated the opinion that
the livestock inspector would be
cverstepping his jurisdiction. under
present laws, in taking the steps
necessary to create a tuberculosis
free area.
The state law, at present, allows
the state to declare an entire coun-
ty tuberculosis free area, but de-
clares that the state must bear
half of the loss to dairymen who
are forced to sell stock for butch
ering after it has been inspected
and found subject to tuberculosis.
Since this makes the procedure an
expensive one TO the state, Imperial
county cannot, at the present time,
hope to be declared by the state a
tuberculosis free area in its entire
ty.
Realizing this, county authorities
have cast about for some method
by which certain restricted parts of
the county could be declared tuber-
culosiC free areas, under a system
granting TIE dairymen . reasonable
length of time to rid themselves of
tubereular cattle This plan has in
mind a gradual elimination Of tu-
oercular cattle from every part of
Ihe county, and consequent raise
in the price of butterfat.
1t is Halliday's opinion, however,
that an amendment to the state
law will be necessary before the
county can take this step. since
the opposition Of one dairyman
might result ir notification of the
ordinance unless it conformed with

COURT VISITS

Returning from an entire day
spent at Blythe in taking the tes-
timony of two witnesses unable
to appear here, the court had re-
turned to Ell Centre today to re-
sumo trial of the All-American ca
nal contract valuation suit.
s I. Rothery, Los Angeles civil

control under the Boulder dam and
the possible effect of the proposed
new Imperial dam on the flow of

Imperial Valley press., 1933-03-23

Continued efforts to find some
way by which Imperial county
gradually may become a tubercu-
losis free area for dairy cattle
brought another development to-
day, but carried little hope for any
immediate development in the
campaign.
G. G. Halliday. chief deputy dis
trict attorney, received a telegram
today from Robert Hays, secre-
tary of the Ell Centro Chamber of
Commerce, quoting the opinion of
DR.. G. U. Dckworth, chief of the
bureau of animal industry of the
state department of agriculture, rel
ative to the possibility of adopting
"a county ordinance controlling
tubercular cattle in restricted areas.
Halliday declared it is his opin-
ion such county ordinance could
not be enforced, under the present
state law, except with the consent
of the dairymen concerned. An
amendment to the state law, per-
mitting counties to declare certain
restricted areas, was proposed by
Halliday in a letter to DR.. Duck
worth.
Cites Law
The telegram from Hays quoted
DR.. Duckworth as saying, county
livestock inspector is authorized
and empowered by and with the
approval of the supervisors to es-
tabliSh, maintain and enforce such
quarantine. sanitary and other
regulations as he may deem proper
and necessary" The law thus en-

FIND ERROR IN
BURNHA|N VOTE

After discovering an error
Wrongfully crediting George Burn
ham with SO votes in one Ell Cen
tro precinct, the examining board
in Claude Chandler,s contest of
Burnham'S election as United
States representative had adjourn
ed today, to meet again early next
week for further examination of
ballots.
Representatives of Burnham de-
clared the deduction of SO votes
from his total will make no differ
ence in his election and will make
no appreciable difference in the to-
tai.
The error, crediting Burnham
with SO additional votes was des-
cribed as clerical one, palpably
not intentional. 1t covered El Cen
tro precinct No. 6, of which EN-
erson F. Surface was inspector and
Anna w. Strickler, j. Bruce Ander-
son, Cleo G. McCary, Leona H.
Wade and Daisy M. Dearborn were
members of the election board.
Strickler was interviewed yester-
day by members of the examining
board. He could not explain the
error except as one of computation.
Members of the election board will
be interviewed next week.
Figures brought out at the ex-
animation showed that the county
clerk furnished the precinct 600
blank ballots, that 369 were voted,
five spoiled and 226 returned to the
clerk. The tally sheet for the pre-
cinct credited Burnham with 284
votes and Chandler with 1876 votes.

that title to all former German
colonies still rests with the allied
Powers, the league merely acting as
a sort of trustee.
The Pacific islands held by ia
pan under League OF Nations man
date are chiefly those Of the Car
oline and Marshall groups, strung
between Hawaii and the Philip
pines.
Because of their geographical
positions, naval experts regard
them as ideal bases for naval op-
erations against either Hawaii or
the Philippines. For that reason
the United States was insistent at
the Versailles conference that they
may be held by some nations un-
der a mandate which would pre-
vent fortificatjon.
When the Philippines are grant
eel independence the status Of the
islands will be even more import
ant that it is now.
Charges were aired before the

pan had started improving har-
bors in the islands to accommodate
war craft, in violation of the man

SAYS GOVT. WILL
 REMONETIZE SILVER

Senator Key Pullman, in a n address in Salt Lake a few days ago, offered the predict ion that the government will take steps to remonetize silver within 30 days after Congress again convenes.
 The Nevada senator was also reported in radio broadcasts this week as having expressed confidence in the remonetiz- ation of silver on basis of 16 to with gold following an inter- view with President Roosevelt.
 In a recent radio broadcast Senator Pittman declared that the agreements on silver effect ed at the London conference were the greatest forward step on behalf of silver money that has been taken in over a hum dred years. The effect, he said, will be to restore the price of silver to between 60 cents and 70 cents an ounce and to stabilize it around that price. There is nothing in the agreements to prevent any gov ernment or group of govern ments from enacting legislation looking to the further remone- tization of silver. In fact, such action will be much easier by reason of the adoption of the conference agreement, he said.
