VALLEY EXPRESSES SELF

Sentiment in Imperial Valley today ap-
proves of the action taken in Brawley
and FL Centre last night when vigilantes
ordered leaders in the agitation which
has been rife for the past two weeks to
leave the county and took somewhat radl-
cal steps to see that they did leave.
This view is taken even while upstand-
ing such irregular action.
Business in Brawley has been practic-
ally at standstill thanks to the agitators
who were active in promoting strike OF
lettuce workers and fellow-agitators IN
the person of representatives of the AM
erican Civil Liberties Union who came in
to the picture after the strike got under
way.
The strike as such long since faded
into the background. but it furnished ann
munition for the champions of liberty,
and trorble-makers to get busy.
Imperial Valley growers and their
workmen, if left alone, are perfectly cap
able of settling any disputes that may
arise between them. They have done it
in the past and they can do it again. 1t
is only when outsiders, having no inter
est beyond their own immediate ends
enter the field, that trouble develops.
Last nights action was not the work of
an irresponsible mob. From all accounts
those who acted at Brawley and Ell Gen.
tro were chiefly businessmen who have
borne the brunt of the burden and have
seen their business become stagnant
through the activities of outside meddlers.
Paying taxes and performing the du-
ties of good citizens, they have been prac-
tically helpless to offset the disturbing
influence of the professional agitators
who have no interest in the progress and
development of Imperial Valley such as
its own businessmen have.
1t is to be regretted that it became
necessary to act in a manner contrary to
the conventions. At the same time those
who did act kept within the bounds of
reason and permitted no violence toward
those whom they blame for their trou-
bles.
Perhaps the professional agitators
have learned a lesson. 1t will be we'll for
them if they have for Imperial Valley
doesn't need them and doesn t want them.
1t plainly demonstrated that fact last
night.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
BUGS SLED

Are you having good time, my
Squigglers " asked Uncle Wiggily.
Very nice" buzzed the Seven
Spot Bug.
Quite jolly, in fact" said the Six
Spot Bug. But could you go little
slower, Mr.. LongearS, if you please" ?"
You can't exactly go slow or fast
when you're coasting," explained
Uncle Wiggily. You have to go the
way your sled goes. OF course you
can make yourself go a bit slower
by dragging your paws on the
ground, but that wears out your
shoes too fast"
Goodness knows shoes wear out
fast enough as it is" said the Seven
Spot Bug. And each of us bugs with
six legs! My, it would never do for
us to drag our feet. guess we'll
Just have to coast fast"
II suppose so," said the Six Spot
Bug. IT know I can't afford to buy
another set of shoes this Winter"
Don't worry" begged the rab-
bit gentleman. II won't go too fast
for you.'
But the two Squigglers, sitting be-
hind Uncle Wiggily on his. sled, held
tightly to the bunny, to each other
and to the sled. 1t was the first time
they had ever gone coasting and
they were not used to sliding down
snowy hill SO fast. Uncle Wiggily

Glass claim fatherhood of the fed

While Owen testified, Glass heck
led him, just as he did years ago In
the senate. At one phase of the tes-
timony, Glass produced an old Con-
gressional Record and read from a
speech by Owen.
Were you quoted correctly, Sem
ator Owen?" asked Glass.
II must say that what you read
was very aptly stated" replied
Owen.
Later Owen caught Glass in a
mistake.
LAS usual, you are mistaken, Sem

had come out all alone to have
coasting fun and had met the
Squigglers. They had no sled of
their own, so the bunny gentleman
kindly took them down in his.
How do you like it noW?" asked
Mr.. Longears, when the sled was
halfway down the hill. There was
no answer from the Bugs.
II say, how do you like it?" asked
the rabbit again.
Still no answer.
1T cannot be that they are too
bashful to answer me-" thought the
rabbit gentleman. Perhaps they
don't hear me with the way the
wind rushes past their ears. I'll ask
again"
So, in a louder voice, he inquired !:
How do you like it, my Squig-
glers?"
Still no answer from the Bugs,
neither from the Seven Spot one
nor from the Six Spot one.
This is getting mysterious" said
Uncle Wiggily II wonder what can
have happened? They must have
heard my shout"
He twisted his neck and looked
around and to his surprise he saw
no Bugs at all. Not the Seven Spot
one or the Six Spot one.
"Oh, dear!" cried Uncle Wiggily
they must have bounced off my
sled. Poor Squigglersl They have
fallen off in the snowl"
Never minding wearing out his
shoes. Uncle Wiggily dragged his
two paws on the snowy ground like

a brake and the sled slowly came
to stop. Then the bunny jumped
off and started back up the hill,
looking on the way for the Squiggle
Bugs.
AT first he could not find them
for they were very tiny, though they
were such a bright, red color. Once
Mr.. Longears thought he saw the
two little chaps in a hole in a snow
drift. But it was only piece of
red paper some animal boy or girl
had pulled off a lollypop.
'Squigglers, where are you?" loud
ly called the rabbit and then two
tiny voices answered:
Here we are"
Following the sound of the voices,
Uncle Wiggily saw the Six Spot chap
and the Seven Spot chap down in a
little pile of snow. The sled had
coasted SO fast that the Squigglers
were joggled off.
Dear me! This is too badw said
Uncle Wiggily. But get in my pock-
ct. I will walk with you up to the
top of the hill and we'll try ano-
ther coast
"Oh, no. said Seven Spot. Never
again. It's too dangerous"
And yet I should dearly love an
ether coast" said Six Spot. "Only
we are too little to sit behind you
on your big sled, Uncle Wiggily."
And if you sit in 'front.'" spoke
the rabbit, 1.-The wind will be SO
strong it will blow you away. Dear
me, how can you coost
"If we had a sled of our own, a
tiny one just our size, I think it
would be all right" spoke Seven
Spot.
But where can such a tiny sled
be found?" asked Six Spot.
1T will not be easy" said Uncle
Wiggily. But I'll try to buy you
one" However, when he went to the
stores, not a sled small enough for
the Squiggle Bugs could be bought
The smallest one was far too large
Then Mr.. Longears said:
II know what I can do. I'll make
you a sled out of a walnut shell
my Squigglers" This he did, taking
, the meat out of a walnut shell and
fastening on it runners made OF
, toothpicks. And in this tiny sled the
. Seven Spot and the Six Spot Squig-
glers coasted down hill by them
selves and had lots of fun. And il

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-It be-

A distinguished monetary expert
and eX-secretary of the treasury

corning a gold seizure ruling from
the justice department recently that
the department could just as easily
have legalized the robbing of his

Then came Prof George T. War
rem few days later to testify about
money before the senate banking
committee. The professors testi-
mony became involved. Senator Nc
Adoo asked him please won't he put
his evidence in every day language.
The professor tried without any
great success and Glass walked out
of the hearing room. Someone ask
ed him whether the testimony was
clear to him.
Its as clear to me as it is to
Prof. Warren" Glass snapped.

HELPING THE YOUNGSTERS

construction of a recreation grounds
adjacent to the city park, made possible
under the CWA, is deserving of COM
mendation, for such thing has been bad
ly needed in Ell Centro.
A shortage of adequate playground fa-
cilities for youngsters and older youths,
has been recognized as a distinct draw
back to the city and remedy for the con-
dition has been perpleXing question,
particularly to those interested in welfare
work as applied to juveniles.
Imperial Valley youngsters, by reason
of our geographical location, climate and
other natural factors, are deprived of
many of the innocent diversions which
their parents knew in other sections OF
the country.
Swimming-as essential to youngster
as eating or sleeping, is possible only
through private plunge. There are no
rivers and streams, such as made the
"old swimming hole" famous No skat-
ing, no sliding, no going out after nuts
or apples, for Imperial Valley youngsters.
They are badly handicapped in means for
working off the surplus energy of
youth.
1t is not surprising that occasionally
boys and girls get into serious trouble.
The big surprise is that not more Of
them do.
The playground which is now being
constructed, will relieve the situation
somewhat, even though it cannot replace
the diversions which an older genera
tion knew-nothing can replace them
Those who fostered the playground
idea and who are pushing it through to
u successful conclusion, have performed
a community activity that merits the
praise of all.

Refners In producing oil fields have
protested and Independents have been
grumbling for years that pipe line
rates are too high. Now that consoli-
dated tax returns are practically YER
boten, the pipe lines have another rea-
son for reducing rates. Last years
net income of the Texas Pipe Line
company OF Oklahoma was 1928, 498 on
an investment OF $6,524,987 In gather
Ing and trunk pipe lines. She'll Pipe
Line corporations net was SIC, 1885,
lib, on an Investment of So, $50, 177;
StanolInd Pipe Line company's was
$12, 365. O87 on an investment of $751;
$1,000, and Texas Pipe Line COM
pany's was se,528. 100 on an investment
of $5o.0o5840.
All of which indicates that, while
larger profits have been made on
smaller investments, 4 pipe line COM
pany subsidiary was 4 handy sort OF
thing last year for I big oil company
to have. while prices of oil were being
slashed and profits on the parent COM
pany were being cut to the bono.
On June there was a hearing on
the bill of Representative Strong OF
Texas to divorce pipe lines from In
dustry ownership. But 1t was appar-
ent to the most casual observer that
no immediate action was intended. II
was largely pretext for delaying the
oil control bill, and, incidentally, to
help Colleague Strong with his pub
lIcity back home.
The pipe line companies, to their In
dlgnation, were not called. Actually,
they were delighted. as they think now
they will have an argument In tho
next congress, claiming that In the con-
gress just ended they we're not given
hearing.
But the reduction In rates, ordered
by the Interstate Commerce commits
sion, Is far more important In the pic
ture. 1t makes the chief attack on
dual ownership of oil wells and pips
lines a dud.
