AZ. LITVINOFF TRAVELS

While wishing M. Litvinoff full success
on his mission to Washington for the
purpose of comforting with President
Roosevelt about possible recognition of
Russia. we lust Glove" the Soviet for
eign minister's explanation of his pres
ence in the royal suite aboard the Beren-
garia, on which he sailed yesterday from
France.
It is inconsistent with the Soviet pol
lev of simplicity, equality for all and lux
ury for none When the Inconsistency
was pointed out to NJ. Litvinoff, he made
haste to point out that his was last
minute reservation and he had to take the
royal suite as it was the only one avail
able. That proves Litvlnoff' right TO
claim the title of diplomat.
We have no means of dlsprovlng Nj.
Litvinoff's explanation, but at the same
time we feel the world will accept it with
its tongue in its cheek. Royal suites don't
lust happen to be assigned to anyone.
AS the representative of great nation
it is only right that M. Litvinoff should
travel in style, and it is pity that he
cannot proclaim to the world that the
best is none too good for Soviet repre-
sentative To do so, however, would GER
tainly put him in bad with the proletariat
at home.
He would make better impression on
the world, however, if he would stick to
the Soviet principles. There is nothing
like sticking to ones principles.
Take the representatives of another
great world power, for instance. 1t isn't
polite to mention names, so the power
will not be mentioned here. 1t, too, be-
lieves in democratic simplicity, equality
for all and special consideration for
none. When such representatives have to
go to France or England or elsewhere for
conference you don't catch them in any
royal suites. They always travel steer
age, garb themselves in denims or work.
ing clothes and are quite often mistaken
for members of the crew.
They stick to principles and remem-
Der that they are only the chosen agents
of plain people,
Perhaps NJ Litvinoff will learn the
difference when he comes to Washington,
for the reader has undoubtedly guessed
the power to which we refer. Yep, it's us.
Japan has told the world it wants
peace, Hitler has said the same thing,
and Mussolini drew up the four power
pact. Now if we can stop the Chaco
fighting we will be getting places.

INFORMATION
ON SALES TAX

Pennies have become valuable
since the state sales tax went into
effect, according to Louis C. Marie,
sales tax administrator for TINS
district, who spoke yesterday at the
Ell Centro Chamber of Commerce
luncheon meeting. Pennies have
never received much consideration
in the western states until recent
ly, but the speaker stated that now
people do not part with their pen
nies as carelessly as they formerly
did. .'t N
Marie explained that the func-
ton of employees of the state
board of equalization is not that OF
police power, although they can
have this power if necessary, but IS
primarily to assist in interpreta-
tions and help those applying for
licenses to find their classification.
Changes have already been made in
the rulings where it was found
that original rulings worked a
hardship on individuals or whole
sale or retail merchants generally
and more changes will probably be
made if found necessary.
The California sales tax act is
copied from the New York sales tax
act and under its operation this
state will have 100000 taxpayers
instead of 100000 as was the case
when only real property was taxed.
But two percent of the tax money
goes to the state board of equaliza-
ton for enforcement and collec-
ton. This, the speaker stated, is
the lowest collection charge ever
heard of and does not allow any
overhead for the individual sales
tax offices.
The greater part of the meeting
was devoted to answering ques-
tions of those present and those
which came in by telephone from
the large audience which listened
to the talk over radio, broadcast by
remote control from KXO. Many
questions concerning the applica.
ton of the sales tax to merchan'

IMPERIAL,s ALL-AMERTCAN CANAL

Immediate construction of Imperial
Valleys long-sought all-American canal
was assured this week when the govern
ment appropriated six million dollars to
place the work under way, provide en-
ployment for nine thousand men, and in
sure this fertile district of the southwest
against further subsection of its agricul-
tural lands to the whims of Mexican rev.
olutionists.
Peculiarly enough, in appropriatlng
six million dollars to start work on the
canal. the government made 1t clear that
it would not approve the development OF
any additional agricultural lands max
ing it in fact mandatory that only Ine
acreage now under cultivation could
benefit, for the present at least, from the
opening of this great waterway issuing
from the Colorado river.
To those thousands of citizens who, be-
lievinq in the future of Imperial Valley
and knowing the value of rich soil, have
invested their money in desert sites, 1t
will be a blow to learn that, after hav-
ing had faith in the ultimate develop
ment of the region, they are now to be
deprived of growing crops upon the very
land where they built their castle OF
dreams so many years before. The real
estate agent. the cold-blooded business
man and Imperial Valley as a whole, Ill
fact, may similarly wonder why gov
ernment which has at last recognized and
provided money for the creation OF new
canal. at the same time says that the
water which will run through it must
not be used to bring life and vitality to
acres now desert and idle
The answer is that probably neither
the department of public works nor the
department of agriculture has as yet
true knowledge and understanding of
what the Imperial Valley grows, or when
it grows 1t.
For the most part this great empire,
existing below sea level, provides lettuce,
cantaloupes tomatoes and other forms
of fresh vegetables which are grown in
competition only with a few other sec
tions of the nation, including the Santa
Maria valley, and all of which are also
in constant competition with similar
products grown by peon labor along the
west coast of Mexico.-Santa Barbara

was reported dying. Immediate
medical attention was necessary.
Eckmann took off forty-five min

The woman, Mrs. Peter Kostrome-

cred grave.
Medical attention that could not
