WHAT THE EXAMINER SAYS

Under the caption "Ickes' Warning,
the following editorial appears in this
mornings Los Angeles Examiner. 1t is
very similar to The Press editorial of yes
terday and is reprinted here for the bene-
fit of those who look only upon the
Hearst papers as true friends of the dis
trict.
1t should provide additional food for
thought among those who are endanger-
ing the entire canal project by the atti-
tude they have taken in antagonizing fed
eral officials concerned with construction
of the canal.
Imperial Valley press., 1934-01-04

It is not for The Examiner to step in
and tell the Imperial Irrigation District
which course it should decide upon in the
building of the All-American canal.
That is local question to be locally
settled
But that it should be settled with all
possible speed is matter which concerns
all California.
1t involves employment for large num-
bers of workers.
1t involves a large amount of federal
money, the expenditure of which may be
indefinitely delayed if not ultimately de-
feated if there is not prompt agreement.
Upon this point Secretary Ickes of the
interior department leaves no doubt as to
his meaning when saying:
''The Public Works Administration is
rapidly coming to the conclusion that the
district QmperiaD should settle its own
local difficulties.
"There are too many wanting public
works money and ready to put 1t to I'M
mediate use for us to lose any sleep over
local squabbles.'
Those are strong words, but Secretary
1ckes is in a strong position.
Public opinion in other states, and par
ticularly in states thoroughly agreed as
works, will be strongly inclined to sup
port him.
Other charges by Ickes are equally un-
pleasant reading, but the big thing is his
warning that the district may get moth
ing out of the public works fund unless it
comes promptly to an agreement.
1t would be serious misfortune if, af
ter so long fight against special private
power interests finally defeated in their
efforts to block construction of the ALL
American canal, the people were to lose
only because they could not agree among
themselves.
That at least is the aspect given to the
situation by Secretary Ickes' warning.
And he holds the power of the purse
Testifying that he is bankrupt, William
Ford, brother of Henry, declared that he
does not even own an automobile. Come

PRIMARY NOT TO BE DISCARDED

; One of the planks in the platform adopted by
the executive body of the state Democratic central
committee at Phoenix this week advocates run-off
primary The Republican platform calls for discard
ing the entire primary law and returning to the old
convention system of choosing candidates, in vogue
during the days before statehood.
The International was pleased to learn that the
Democratic committee would do nothing toward re-
turning to the convention system. few-a very few
--would-be dictators in Democratic ranks have been
advocating discarding the primary. They are the
sort Of persons who would tell the people who they
are to vote for.
The international is strong supporter of the
present PRIMARY and just equally in favor Of an
other election-the run-off
So long as the Republicans can nominate at the
primary, then have those nominees resign after the
primary and the bosses Of that party pick their cam
ddates for the general election the rank and file of
the Republican party will be at the mercy of few

THE GOVERNORS SPEECH

Governor Moeur made a splendid address before
the state Democratic committee meeting at Phoenix
Monday.
He impressed his audience by his sincerity. His
speech was short but it was right to the point. He
said enough in just a few words to convince each
and every one of the delegates that his sole object IN
the executives chair is to try to better conditions IN
Arizona.
Governor Moeur is fighter and such will
never overlook an opportunity to help the people Of

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
BASKETBALL

The Sank Centre Junior High
School basketball team Saturday
defeated a similar team at Upsala
by the score of 9 to 4. Both teams
played a steady, clean game. The
local boys lost several shots due to
the low ceiling in the Upsala gym,
but the low score of the opponents
was due to some excellent guarding
on the part of the boys. Herbert
Reble, playing his first season of
basketball, dropped in two field
goals to be high point man. He
played a very nice game both on
defense and offense. Ethun and
Peglow lost many shots from under
the basket but managed to cut deep
into enemy territory frequently.
A return game has been booked
for the Sank Centre floor on Sat
urday, Feb. II, to start at about
2:15 p. M.

Had the Sank Centre High
School basketball quint been able
to negotiate their free throw OPP
portunities at Melrose Friday eve"
ming they would have brought home
the bacon. Out of II opportuni-
ties they made two points.
,Sauk Centre outscored their op-
ponents with field goals. The final
score was Il to 13 in favor of Mel
rose.
AS characteristic of these two
teams when they meet they played
hard basketball. They are tradi-
tional rivals. The natural stress in
games of this sort makes the play
ers bit nervous and probably
neither team played up to its
standard.
The first quarter was largely de-
fensive, neither team being able
to develop scoring punch. In the
second quarter Melrose got hot
temporarily and built up a to 5
lead.
The second half was a nip and
tuck affair. With the IA to 8
against them Sank Centre put on
a spirited drive and were all but
tying up the ball game when the
final gun was fired.
