10Th AMENDMENT
NOW LAW; GUSTS
SHORT SESSION
[COnfiHued from Frsf Pagfl
The White House TODAY.

the White House today.
After this year when the people
record their will at the ballot box
in November. the men they send to
Congress will begin to function
within two months. Hitherto the
new Representatives have had to
twiddle their thumbs for thirteen
months-until December of the next
year-while the country has been
] given legislation sponsored, framed
and put through in part by men who
have been specifically repudiated by
the voters.
Senator George Norris, Nebraska's
Independent warrior put the amend
ment through Congress last March
after a ten year fight against the
ultra-conservatives who wished to
preserve the antiquated machinery.
He hailed the victory as, "a great
step toward placing the control Of
our government in the hands of the
chosen representatives of the Ann
eriean people"
He was confident too that his
amendment would do away with
such spectacles as the Senate fill
buster of the last two weeks, for fl
ibusters, justified or otherwise,
thrive on lack of time and from now
on Congress will have no set adj
journment day.
II will meet every year on Janu-
ary 3. The President will take office
every four years on January 20. The
17-day difference is to give Con-
gress time to canvass and certify
the election results.
The popularity of the change has
been attested by the speed with
which States have acted. Virginia
ratified without even waiting to get
copy of the proposal Seventeen
States ratified before last summers
campaigns. The remaining ratihca-
tions have all come since legislative
sessions began again the first week
of this month. Delaware ratified the
amendment last week.
Though aimed to do away with
legislation by defeated Congressman
the Twentieth Amendment carries
no specific prohibition against it,
and 1t does permit the barest chance
of defeated Congress meeting.
This could come in two ways:
First, the second regular session of
a Congress could continue straight
through campaign season and cleo
tion time. One chance in a thousand
of that.
Second, after the election, which
is never earliersthan November 2
anG never later tnan November 8,
the President could call a special
This would be forced to adj
journ by noon. January 8. Only the
most extraordinary circumstances,
involving virtually unanimous sup
port in Congress for the Presidents
purpose, ould permit such move.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S PIE TREE

stump bungalow one morning.

looked at the ears of all her forty

make sure they were clean enough
to go to school. I mean the rah~

ears with them.
"I am very happy said Mr..

"Why?" asked Nurse Jane Fuz-

the breakfast dishes out and let
them blow soap bubbles with the
gas stove.

Keeping his pink, twinkling nose

none.

Nurse Jane as Uncle Wiggily was
seen hopping toward the woods.
Il haven't the least idea," said
the muskrat lady housekeeper. "Of
course the other day he found a
chocolate cake in a bakery box
hanging on a tree branch. Uncle
Wiggily thought the cake might
have grown on what he called a
cake tree. But it turned out that
Mr.. Twistytail, I think it was, had
hung the cake there. Anyhow, Un-
Gle Wiggily helped eat the cake and
now, I suppose, he is hoping he'll

II hope I may find a pie tree,

GOOD BOOK WEEK

-. Growing up with books, is one of
| the slogans being used in connection with
Good Book Week" which is being OBJ
served this week throughout the nation
1t is designed to point out to boys and
girls the advantages of being familiar
with library usage and availing them
selves of the vast opportunities it offers
them for their education and entertain
ment.
Abundant information on almost ev-
cry topic of interest to the human mind
enhancing tales of history and adven-
ture and a variety of reading which can
suit the different tastes of all are on
the shelves of the public libraries and in
Ell Centro's public library.
1t is not intended that interest in
Good Book Week should be confined
only to juveniles. What has been said
regarding them applies also to adults.
In fact it is particularly directed to them,
for many adults adopt the foolish idea
that once they are through with school
they are through with books, instead of
recognizing the immense benefit of read
ing the right kind of literature
That Ell Centro residents have the
right idea toward their library is indicat-
ed by the fact that book turnover has
increased from 10000, decade ago, to
1O7595 volumes in the past year.
1t is unfortunate that in the economic
Stringency which all municipalities are
facing, the library is one of the worst
sufferers from budget reduction. Grant
ed that the library, just as any other
municipal agency, must necessarily op-
crate on reduced budget, it is dis
tinct injustice to public welfare to place
the library on such small allowance as
to hinder seriously its efficient opera
ton.
Idleness, due to unemployment, has
given leisure time to many For these
the library offers something constructive
for their leisure time. To shut them
off from access to the library is heaping
another injustice upon them and is do
ing an injury to the community as well.
Good Book Week" should not only be
an inspiration to the public to use the
library to the fullest extent but should
also impress municipal officials with the
important work which it is doing for
their community.

JUST IN TINE


Dispatches from Washington on Satur-
day indicate the closeness of the success
ful battle which Phil Swing waged in be-
half of the All-American canal appro-
priation.
The S6,O00,O00 appropriation was
granted on October 81 On Saturday
Secretary Ickes, as public works admin
istrator issued rders withholding
any more construction funds in the pub
lie works program, for projects in Cali
fornia, Oregon and Washington.
These three states. he said, had re-
ceived 'more attention than any other
of the states in the nation. In fact they
have received so much that the other 45
are bitterly complaining about it. We
must take care of their needs too
The order is a temporary one, designed
to permit appropriations in other states
to reach a more equitable quota.
1t was knowledge of this well-found-
ed prejudice against giving any more ap-
preparations to California which prompt
ed Swing to fire his heavy guns at the
psychological time and get the canal ap-
preparation through before the impend-
ing shutdown arrived. He convinced the
public works and administration Off
cials that the canal project was not sole
ly of interest to California but was de-
sired by other states in the Colorado river
basin.
At the time he was making his fight
the opposition to any more California ap-
preparation was intense A chart show
ing by states all the appropriations
made, hung in the office Of the public
works administration, with red line
opposite each state indicating the extent
of its total appropriations. The red line
opposite CALIFORNIA; name crossed over
the entire board and stood out like
lighthouse at sea. Those from other
states seeking appropriations, pointed
out that California red line as reason
why they should get theirs. 1t was a
tremendous obstacle for anyone seeking
an appropriation for California to hur-
die
Less than three weeks has elapsed
since the canal appropriation came un-
der the wire. Had Swing not succeed
ed in putting it across then, the canal
appropriation would have dragged out
indefinitely. While the ban on the three
states is temporary, that can mean
long time. Imperial Valley can consid-
er itself mighty fortunate in having had
at Washington a man who knew where
to strike and when, in order to win his
objective.
