IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
THE SPECIAL SESSION

California legislators are to convene
tomorrow for special session called by
Governor Frank F. Merriam, to act on
matters of immediate Importance to the
state
Chief of the items to be taken up is a
proposed $24,000,000 bond issue to pro-
vide unemployment relief funds during
the coming winter. The federal govern
ment has at all times declared that po-
litical subdivisions getting federal relief
funds, must show their willingness to CO.
operate by assuming some of the relief
burden, and in proposing the bond issue
California is only following the path it
must take if it wishes to receive the as
sistance of the government.
The states relief burden promises to
be heavy this winter, Notwithstanding
all that has been done heretofore to re-
heve conditions.
Unemployment has not been cut down
as heavily as was hoped, and despite all
precautions it is a certainty that persons
from other states are still arriving in
California to become dependent upon re-
lief funds for their subsistence.
There is little doubt that the proposed
bond issue will be approved by the legis-
lature.
Other matters to be taken up at the
special session include a bill extending
the time for redemption of real estate
sold to the state for delinquent taxes;
enactment of new moratorium on prop
erty sales under trust deeds or mort
cages, and valuation of improvement
bonds in the Palo Verde district.
The proposed bond issue for relief
will be submitted to the people for ap-
proval at the November election.
1t follows the same course that the
national government has adopted and
which California and other states have
employed to aid the needy in the past
few years. 1t is a practical method, diff
fering widely from the visionary plans
of Upton Sinclair's Epic" program, and
much more certain to achieve the results
desired.

Title Scrap
Is Held Over
Until Tonight
Rain Delays Ross Mel arnin
Tiff: Barney Still
FaVOrite.
BY STUART CAMERON
United Press sports Editor

NEW YORK, Sept. THE well
terweight title fight between Barney
Ross. incumbent, and Jimmy Nc
Larin. postponed last night when
rain drenChed the Long Island bowl,
will go on tonight if it doesn't rain
again. And it was pouring hard
early today.
With a 100000 gate in the offing
including $4,000 already de-
posted in the tills, a larger advance
than accrued in their previous
meeting promoter Mike Jacobs of
the Christmas fund anxiously
awaited the afternoon weather fore
cast.
If the rain continues, the battle
between the hard jawed little Irish
killer" and the Jewish lad who took
away the only crown he ever had,
Will go on Saturday night If it
should still be raining Saturday
night, there is no telling where it
will 60. The Jewish holidays start
Sunday night, and last until Tues
day night, which may hold up the
fight until late next week.
Experts were pretty sure the de-
lay favorS McLarnin, although the
betting betrayed little reaction. The
battlers will not be required TO
weigh in again today. But if the
fight should be postponed until to-
morrow night a second weigh-in Will
be necessary. The current official
weights are 145% for McLarnin, the
challenger pound less than he
eXpected-and $40 for Ross, which
caused ohe lifting of few eyebrows.
Ross was not expected to come in
over 1873.
Odds on Ross shifted slightly from
10 to to to 5, and a heavy influx
of McLarnin money from the west
was driving them closer as ring time
approached. However. a later up
turn has brought them back again
and some of Ross hackers expect to
see him favored 2 TO l when the
gong rings.
McLarnin hackers were taking "a
to l against the Irishman being
knocked out.
