BONUS ISSUE

MIAMI, Fla, Oct. %. d.p)-Pa.

national convention today brought
seemingly endless procession of
veterans swinging down Biscayne
boulevard.
The bonus question was lost tenn
porarily in the blare of martial mu-
sic, but it will be revived tomorrow
on the convention floor where an
other controversy is anticipated.
Scores of resolutions demanding
legislation that would cost the gov
ernment almost $3,000,000, ,000-irn-
mediate payment of the adjusted
service certificates-will be submit
tea to Edward A Hayes, national
commander, at the opening of the
first business session tomorrow NOR

The bonus question then will be
open to discussion and every man"
who wants the floor will be recog-
nZied and heard, the commander
said Out of convention bonus
discussions yesterday came an ad-

will favor early, but not immediate
payment.
This was the plan advocated by
Senator Frederick Seiwer, of Ore

man who would make known the

MARRIAGE LICENSE BOOK HOLDS
RECORD OF THWARTED ROMANCES

In the county clerks office is a
book which is used nearly every
day in the ordinary routine business
of that office. This is the "appli-
cation for marriage license" record
and on its pages are inscribed in
bold and hesitant handwriting the
hopes and aspirations of many
blushing couples who come to re-
ceive the authorization of the state
for their future union.
This book is also the harbor of
lost hopes, as is evident from even
a casual glimpse through its pages.
For in the back of the volume, sep
arated from other pages as if to call
particular attention to them,. are
a number of applications for which
no subsequent marriage licenses
have been granted.
A count showed that 168 of these
pages, the oldest dating back to
August 4, 1927, are here in mute
testimony to the fact that some

vened within the three day period
required bylaw to prevent the COLI
summation of happy desires.
On many the cause is written
out: failure of parties to appear
within 80 days." on others no cause
is given, leaving it to the imagi-

VALLEY RANCHER SAYS FARMERS
WILL CAST VOTES FOR MERRIAM

jected for the unemployed, no one
knows better than the real farmer
that the plan is unavoidable from
several angles. And no one real
ICES better than the small farmer
that if the colonies should prove
success, that ultimately they would
spell disaster for him. Surplus
produce, during peaks of various
seasons, from these colonies would
have to be marketed, and hurried
ly. Every sale would restrict by
just that much the already too
small market open to the farmer,
and tend to break down the very
thing we have been trying for
years to remedy.
Most of the farmers with whom
I talked advanced the suggestion
that if the rest of the EPIC pro-
gram is as fantastic as the farm
plan. California is assured of a
four years nightmare if Sinclair is
elected"

buy the gold bricks" Sawdey COM
mented, in discussing his trip and
the trend of sentiment as he OBJ
served it.
From the standpoint of the real
dirt farmer" he added, most of
the Sinclair program constitutes an
insult to his common sence.
For example, Sinclair promises
that farms appraised at $4,000 and
under will be exempt from taxa
ton. So far as Imperial Valley Is
concerned, there is not one farm
property that would get any bene-
fit from that provision.
We've been getting mighty little
for our crops, but even so, there
are few of us who would care TO
turn over our produce. which cost
us hard work and hard cash, and
accept warehouse receipts to be
redeemed in goods that some un-
employed people, somewhere. hope
to have on hand sometime, after
they have supplied all their own
needs. This, Sinclair proposes and
seems to expect we'll accept.
IF we did go into any such ar
! rangement, what would we use to
buy machinery, supplies and other
things which we have to have, and
which are made outside the state?

TRANSMITS
TO WORK ON

received a communication from the
federal transient relief organiza-
ton, advising that the large tran
sient camp which was to be set
up in Mason Valley has been moved
to that location, and several hun
dred men are quartered there max
ing camp Within a few days, work
will commence on two road pro-
iects in that locality. one route
leading to Mt. Cuyamaca, and the
other on the Imperial highway to
Vallecito Valley. Early this year,
about half of the Imperial highway
in San Diego county was oil-sur-
faced by the state highway de-
partment.
NO work has yet been done on
the desert sector which includes
Vallecito, and this report" says
Manager Hays of the chamber of
commerce" is good news to those
who have worked to make I'm
perial Highway a reality in the last
five years. 1t is expected that the
road camp will remain at Mason
Valley location for three years, in
order to complete all road work
necessary between Vallecito stage
station and San Felipe Valley.
News that construction work will
soon start is gratifying to those
who understand the great value
of Imperial Highway which will
soon provide a third route to coast
al area. and route so rich in
scenic and historical value that it
will attract travel in it's own right.
In other words, people will travel
the Imperial Highway for the sake
OF the highway itself and will not
need any other objective to induce
them to come over the Imperial
