PROPOSITION No g. State bonds for
refinancing irrigation and reclama-
ton districts
Briefly this proposition calls for au-
thorizing a state bond issue of $50, 000,-
600 to purchase outstanding bonds
against irrigation and reclamation dis
tricts in the state. The districts would
be permitted to retire their bonds on an
adjusted basis. At present there are
S135,000,000 in irrigation and reclama-
ton bonds outstanding. Present mar
ket conditions make it possible to pur-
chase these for S55,000,000. The saving
possible to the people of the state. needs
no emphasis.
Agriculture is the backbone of Cali
fornia's industry. There can be no real
stability in agriculture while the agen-
cies providing water for them are in fin
ancial difficulties. Proposition No. 6
offers a way out, based on sound bus
mess principles.
Opposition to the proposition is gener-
ally based on the fact that it sets an un-
desirable precedent by helping out one
class of the states industries However,
supporters of the measure believe this to
be time for undertaking activities that
are based on business principles rather
than politics or established customs
The Press recommends vote of yes
on Proposition No. 6.
Proposition No. z. This assembly con-
stitutional amendment, largely formal
ity, provides that all acts passed by the
fiftieth legislature, on or before July 10,
1888, shall be effective 80 days after May
%. 1888, except acts effective immedl-
ately under the constitution. The amend
ment is made necessary due to the Tact
that the legislature recessed instead OF
adjourned, on May p.
A vote of yes is recommended on
No. Z. No arguments have been advo-
Gated against it.
Proposition No. 8. This senate con-
stitutional amendment gives more real
governing powers to the board Of super
visors, who are permitted to fix salaries
for all county officers except supervls-
ors, district attorney and auditor. IL
prohibits increases in salaries during
term of office and permits allowance OF
additional deputies or increases IN their
salaries at discretion of the supervisors:
The measure provides more home rule
for counties, and does away with the
necessity of having the Legislature pass
on every change, no matter how small,
in county officials. There has been no
argument presented against the PROPOSE
ton on which The Press recommends
''yes' vote

FOULDS URGES
SUPPORT FOR
TAX MEASURE

Undoubtedly the most important
measure appearing on the June 9th
ballot is Proposition No. l, senate
constitutional amendment No. So
sometimes known as the Riley plan,
stated Scott B. Foulds, manager OF
the farm bureau. IF it. should fail
there is bound to be a complete
breakdown in our school and city
and county financing as property
can no longer carry the load"
This amendment, by relieving
the county of school taxation and
by restoring some $24, 100000 of
public utility property to the coun-
ty tax rolls will reduce property tax
alton in Imperial county from IS
TO 40 per cent. With some econo-
mics in county and school expenses
we can effect a tax reduction OF
more than so per cent, if No. car
ries." ,AlwyHK I'm
LAS there is opposition to No. /
developing in the large cities, it will
require heavy majorities IN the rural
counties to put No. over.
Amendment No. l is endorsed
by the California Farm Bureau fed
Grafton, the California State Cham
Der of Commerce, the California
Real Estate association, the County
Supervisors association and many
others.
Il urge every voter in Imperial
county to go to the polls Tuesday
June 81, and vote for this measure
as Imperial county will benefit from
this measure 20 a greater extehl
than any county in the state"

and sisters. After that she had
been a fine, big tabby cat lady
chasing mice But now she was old
and gray and sick. Uncle Wiggily
easily saw that she was very III.

stump house and raced to his own
bungalow. Nurse Jane was in the
kitchen making a cream cake and
a pie with milk in it.
Il want that" said Uncle Wiggily.
He picked up the cream and milk
and, without another word, he hop
ped out OF the kitchen. Nurse Jane
was so surprised that she had to sit
down in a chair and she screamed.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
SICK CAT

Once upon a time, when Uncle
Wiggily was hopping around in the
woods with Baby Bunty, the little
orphan rabbit, they came in sight
of an old stump house. 1t wasn't
at all like the nice hollow stump
bungalow Uncle Wiggily lived in.
There were holes in the roof, the
chimney was so crooked that Santa
Claus never could have climbed
down it and some of the windows
were broken.
That's a queer, old stump house, y
said Uncle Wiggily
Keep away from it Keep
away!" whispered Baby Buniy.
Don't go near it, Unkie Wig
why not?" asked the rabbit
gentleman. whats the matter with
that old, :umble-down stump house
Bunty?"
"a witch cat lady lives there!"
said the orphan rabbit. She'll chase
Us if We go too near"
"Nonsense!" laughed Mr.. Long
ears. There are no such things as
witch cats. Don't be sillyl"
1T ISN'T silly!' said Baby Bunny.

What makes you think that the

Uncle Wiggily.

NEW CITIZENS

CITIZENSHIP in the United States of
" America is distinctive honor. 1t has
recently been declared on class of for
eign born residents, who will receive
their certificates of citizenship in an i'm
preSsive ceremony to be held tonight on
Wilson school grounds, under the aus
pieces of Boyce Aten post, American
Legion.
There should be a large attendance of
their fellow citizens to welcome these
newcomers under the flag, and it is es-
sentially proper that the occasion should
be made something Of a ceremony.
1t is particularly desirable that native
born citizens attend the program. Those
coming under this class take their cit
zenShip so casually that it may be an
inspiration as we'll as surprise to them
to see what citizenship means to the per-
son upon whom it has been conferred
after years of preparation.
Generally speaking, the foreigner who
seeks citizenship in this country makes
an excellent citizen He has chosen the
United States of America as his home,
when he had the whole wide world from
which to choose new place of residence.
If we dismiss this fact with the remark
that America was chosen merely because
opportunities here are better than they
are elsewhere, we do the newcomer an
injustice There is something more back
of the desire to come to America than
the opportunities it affords.
The new citizen may retain his love
for his home country and its accent may
show in his English, but neither fact
prevents him from becoming an Amerl-
can citizen of a calibre equal to that of
any who have claimed the honor, eth
er by birth or by their own choice.
Last week they were Greeks, Germans,
English or any of half dozen other ma
tionalities. Tonight they become Ameri-
cans, loyal to their country and proud
of the honor it has conferred upon them.
