ASSEMB[YMAN
SENDS LET TER

Following is a letter received by
The Press from Assemblyman Sam
f.. Robinson, giving his view on
the accomplishment thus far of
the fittieth session OF the legisla-
ture:
Imperial Valley Press,
FL Centre, California,
Dear Sirs:
It requires more time and effort
than l had supposed to organize
the legislature. hear many ex-
pressions OH the part OF new mem
hers of impatienee over the fact
that we seem TO be Sklrmishing
around the edges of things. find
a divergence Of opinion as to how
things should be done, a consider
able unanimity as to what should
be done and very genuine inter-
est in the accomplishing of some
thing fundamental to the better
ment of our economic condition.
DiSapproval Of the governor S
program is general. There is gen.
eral approval of the move to in
vestigate the administration, the
assembly being properly grateful
that it is to be senate job.
Before leaving the valley I men
toned several times that the peo-
pie were expecting two things of
the legislature: legislation to make
jobs and economies to eliminate
Jobs. didn't see at that time
how it would be possible to har-
monize these two purposes. be-
gin to see how it can be done. 1t
is illustrated by the action of the
committees on attaches I am a
member of this committee in the
assembly. 1t is like this. We re-
duced the number of employees
(sergeants at arms and stenograph-
ers) and pay for six days instead
Of seven. We are making saving
of something like $50 per day out
Of the 5000 provided in the consti-
tuition. We will not be able tc
save so much in the last part OF
the session. But we have made a
saving. We are to be given credit
for 1t. The first half of the pro-
gram is accomplished and we may
proceed to the second half, name
ly, spend the money.
S. E. ROBINSON.

near Jacumba. The new roaooeo
is 22O0 feet in length and was
blasted out of the rock in an iso-
lated section of the mountainous
country through which the rail-
road progresses.
Three long delays in traffic were
caused during recent months, one
last winter, one last spring and one
this fall. All delays were caused
by slides or fires at tunnels.
Transcontinental freight and pas
senger service will be resumed jan

railway officials said today.
The usual schedule will be in

Before Mr.. LongearS mad time to

hopping Buster, one of the lively
rabbit boys. He was almost out OF
breath because ne had hurried so.
Daddy he asked not saying
"Daddicums," like some OF the girl
rabbits-"Daddy, have you some OF
those old fashioned ice skates with
wooden tops that you used when
you were boy bunny?'
"Old-fashioned wooden skates?"
said Uncle Wiggily, musing like as
he remembered the days when he
was a young bunny "Yes, think
there are some I used TO use up
in the attic. Why do you want
them?"
I'VE are making an ice boat to
go sailing on the frozen duck
pond" said Buster.
"Was that the big noise 1 heard
down cellar2" asked his father.
"Oh, we just made little noise,
said the rabbit boy.
"A little noisel" laughed Mr.
Longears. IF you call that banging
you and your brothers were doing
a little noise, what would you call q
big noise? Never mind, I'll get you
the old skates. Do you know how

given a vaudeville contract because
he was able to slip off the steam
ship Europa behind the skirts of

case-probably the latter part of

During the hearing in New York
Prince Mike for a moment forgot

to show his appreciation or some

JUST BUBBLES

IN THE past three years the world has
witnessed the collapse of numerous
financial giants, but perhaps none more
spectacular than the wreck of the Ivar
Kreuger monopoly.
The Swedish financier. believed to
have been wizard, and whose word was
accepted as the ultimate in business wis
dom, has been revealed as nothing more
than a very capable crook, according to
the revelations of auditors who have
been examining the affairs of his con-
Germs since his suicide last year.
Villainous frauds have been unearthed
to such an extent that one wonders how
any man could have covered them up
so successfully.
The report of the auditors shows that
the earnings of 160 Kreuger enterpris-
es, between 1918 and 1882, were less than
Is per cent of the reported earnings, and
that Kreuger began falsifying his ac-
counts as far back as 1913.
This means that for more than a de-
cade Kreuger was able to swindle and
cheat not only those who invested in his
enterprises, but the financial giants of
Europe and America as well.
1t is interesting to note that the re-
port also states that the frauds perpet-
rated by Kreuger could not have been
carried on through such long period
without some knowledge of them by his
associates in business.
There have been few arrests by the
Swedish government in connection with
the collapse but evidently there should
be some more.
Kreuger is credited with having ap-
propriated to himself total of S115,-
776,OOO of his investors money. This
makes California's Beesemyer, with his
$4,000, 900 steal look like piker.
Perhaps the Kreuger collapse, the In
sull debacle and similar occurrences will
teach us lesson. Maybe we have
learned that because a man is the head
of large concern and eXudes power ana
strength from every breath he takes, 1t
does not necessarily follow that he is an
honest man and great man.. We may
have learned it, but only the future can
tell that.
To have said two years ago that the
digger in the ditch was better man
than Ivar Kreuger, would have been
considered insanity. Yet the digger IN
the ditch was far greater, and thank the
Lord he is still with us, while kreugef
is no more.

THURSDAY ELECTION IMPORTANT

TOMORROW citizens of Imperial VAL
ley will GO to the polls to vote on
two of the most important questions to
confront this community in years-rat-
ification of the All-American canal con-
tract and approval of the refunding
plan of the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict.
The duty of voting, lightly considered
by SO many citizens, should have a par
ticular appeal in tomorrow's election,
for the questions to be acted upon are
certain to have vital bearing on the i'm
mediate present and future of Imperial
Valley.
For several weeks past, full informa-
tion on both propositions has been made
available to the public, which should be
thoroughly familiar with all phases of
the contract and the refunding plan.
Ratification of the contract is mere
ly reaffirmation of the action taken by
the voters year ago. The only differ
ence in the contract to be voted on to-
morrow, and the one approved last year,
is that Coachella Valley is given limit
ed time to be included in the contract.
If this is not done, Coachella Valley is
out, so far as the contract is con-
cerned.

cepted as being the best means of bring
ing the district out of its present finan-
cial difficulties. The present situation
is highly undesirable, but it is no more
alarming than that faced by many po-
litical divisions in all parts Of the coun-
try.
Supporters of the contract and of the
refunding plan are hoping for heavy
vote in favor of both propositions to-
morrow Their hopes should be real
lied, and they will be, if Imperial Val
ley citizens are awake to the necessity
of guarding their own interests.
Tomorrows election chiefly concerns
the people of Imperial Valley. 1t is
they who must decide for themselves
what they are going to do.
1t is not only desirable that both
propositions should be approved but
that they should be approved by large
majorities. This act will necessitate a
visit to the polls by many thousands of
voters. Citizens should not rest con-
tent with voting themselves, but should
see to it that their friends and neigh
bors go to the polls and cast their bal
lots.
The old saying that 'the Lord helps
those who helps themselves, still holds
true Imperial Valley has chance to-
morrow to help itself, and it should not
be slow in responding by rolling up a
large vote for both propositions.
