NEW YORK, April 3 Q.N.S0.
Wall Street in its new-found
optimism would like nothing
better than to roll the band
wagon out, but the disappoint-
ments of the last two months are
not forgotten so quickly.
There are still plenty Of un-
certainties. The regulation bill
has to be decided and now with
Easter over there is the ques-
tion of the immediate business
trend. Any inflationary news
would overshadow all these and
start the ball rolling.
The confidence is growing that
any regulation bill made law this
year will be substantially differ
ent than even the present re-
vised one.
From a market point of view,
the repeated shocks of early days
when the Fletcher-Rayburn bill
first was brought forward have
pretty well lost their force.
Big.time Speculators who like
playing with fire are looking U.
S. Smelling over again.
The names of the Fisher
brothers are being heard once
more to explain the activity in
Baldwin Locomotive, their one
time pet.
The rise in steel prices Is a
blow to the small companies that
have no ingot production Of their
own but buy the semi-finiShed
steel from the big fellows.
Informed buying has been
going on in the Studebaker notes.
The company is said to be in
the black.
March merchandising volume
will show a substantial increase
over a year ago.
Commodity traders still regard
the wheat market as a standoff
here. They point out that while
the situation is such as to make
possible crop scares later on in
the season, conservatism is in
order currently.

THIRD PARTY IDEA

Fate of Bull Moose Cited by
Former Treasury Head in

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May l8.-Ogden l..
Mills. Secretary of the Treasury under
President Hoover, said Wednesday that
the bull moose movement" proved
that a third party is utterly i'm
practical"
Addressing a group of business men
in connection with the Republican
State Committees drive to raise
s1O5,OOO to pay of the partys debt,
Mills said:
THE suggestion that third party
"a Constitutional party-he organ
lied is utterly impractical. The bull
moose movement showed that.
1T is perfectly apparent that men
and women having similar ideas must
organize if they wish to make their
ideas effective. In this country. where
we have the two-party system. one
must unite with either the Republican
party or the Democratic party to
make his ideas effective"
Mills said that I'VE must face the
situation that when the battle Is
fought out at the polls those who want
constitutional Government must range
themselves on the side OF the Re-
publican party"

Citizen Owes City
"When I left that mans place
of business said Chip Dollar,

the head of the firm was singing
something like this:
"T'his city owes you a living
That statement is correct.
You owe the city a first class man
But can the city collect?
"The man who earns his money
in Ell Centre and spends it here is
a loyal citizen' said "BillD Dol

makes his legitimate profit and
then he is passed on to the next

that the process may be repeated.
However, many of my Brother
Bills are sent away to other COM
munities for goods that can be
bought at home, and their useful
ness to the home community is lost
because of the disloyalty of certain
citizens who believe THAT things

brothers get away to other cities.
They are all needed here at home.
The merchants should work for the

never spend cent out of Ell Cen

ADOPT PLANS
To PRO- TECT
FLAX INDUSTRY

Recent developments in Imperial
Valleys newest crop industry-flax
growing-are summarized in
statement issued by Waldo w.
Weeth, in charge of the University
of California experiment station at
Meloland, as follows:
Flax planting seed in the valley
is to be sold for one cent pound
above the daily marketing Minne-
apolis quotation, with minimum
price standard of cents pound
as a safeguard for local growers in
terests in case the Minneapolis
market for flax should experience
I a slump, according to recent de-
cision of a committee appointed by
the Southwest FlaXseed association.
1t is hoped that all growers who
will have planting seed to sell will
! cooperate and market their seed on
I this basis.
The minimum price of 4 cents
pound has been established as pro-
lection for Imperial Valley growers.
Since all the flaXseed produced in
the Northwest region (center of U.
S. production) goes on the Minne-
apolis market in the months of Sep
tember, October, and November, a
decline is quite possible in the Uni
ted States price of flax during that
period. October and November are
the planting months for valley
growers, and those growers who hold
seed during the summer for sale 10
cally next fall for planting purposes
I need protection against any drop in
the price of flaXseed. Growers are
urged, however, to contract their
seed for fall paintings within the
next sixty days. Those who waited
last year until the supply of local
grown seed was exhausted were un-
able to procure as high quality
clean seed for planting from other
outside sources.
The committee which worked out
the price standard for valley flax
seed consisted of Charles Williams,
j. D. Huston, j. E. Brock, and Wal
do w. Weeth.
A separate committee has been
appointed to inspect the fields CT To-
cal seed for their fitness for plant
ing use next fall. Fields that are
badly infested with weeds which
cannot be easily separated from the
flaxseed by harvesting or recleaning
will be eliminated from the seed
market and should be sold to the oil
mills for crushing for linseed oil.
The committee endeavored to visit
and inspect the entire valley acre
age Tuesday and Wednesday.
This committee includes Frank
Beyschlag, E. V. Edwards, j. l.. Du-
bois, H. G. Worthington, Waldo w.
Weeth, and one representative from
office.

CATERPILLAR
RETIRES BIG
BOND ISSUE

Fortunate is the firm that has
been able to meet all of its bonds
at maturity during the last few
years; but when company retires
its entire bonded indebtedness from
one to four years before it is due,
1T may be classed as a truly re-
markable business achievement.
On April l, 1880, Caterpillar
Tractor Co. issued 100000 In s.
year gold notes to finance large
building and development program
that had been made necessary by
n tremendous increase in sales. On
December 81, 1881, the issue had
been reduced to $8,3670OO. A year
later, the outstanding bonds total
led $6,809,000. BY December 81,
1888, almost half the issue had
been retired and only $5,090,000 re-
mained. All of these bonds were
called for payment on April 2,
1884, year before maturity. In
taking this action the company
