HIGH COST Of
GOVERNMENT
CONDEMNED

1t is customary for a candidate
for public office to give brief re-
sumo of his life. Since 1 am q
candidate for justice of the peace
of Ell Centro township, Will say
have lived in Imperial Valley for
% years. Have developed several
pieces of ranch and city property.
Am Al years of age, have a family
consisting of a wife and three little
girls. My home is at 1902 Euclid
avenue, El Centre.
During the past 20 years the cost
of government has increased to
such an extent that 25 per cent of
the peoples homes and property has
been confiscated. The slogan that
it is cheaper to pay rent than own
q home was coined during this era.
The dangers of Communism have
increased because every person dis
possessed of his home through high
taxation is a potential subject for
any kind of radicalism that ap-
pears.
High salaried bankers have
caused their wives to be hired as
teachers and selfish county Off
cials have employed theirs in their
own offices, while needy, compe-
tent teachers and clerical help
have looked vainly for employment.
The prize examples of mans in
humanity to man. make even an
gels weep.
The pernicious lobbying of nu-
merous state and county officials
before the legislature should be
stopped for all time. The only
purpose of this vicious scheme is
to extract more money from peo-
pie who already have tax burden
needlessly heavy.
AS a candidate for public office,
I feel it my duty to call the atten-
ton of the people to what I believe
to be serious defects in the admin
istration of government. The light
of publicity if persistently applied
will have it's effect and result in
needed increase of respect for
civil government. =,
Democratic government is the
best form of government and if
properly administered will not be
burdensome. The old order of sell
fishness is passing. Capable, un-
selfish men should be chosen for
all offices.
Respectfully,
ROY SHEPARD.

GREEN SAYS
STRIKE WILL
BE LENGTHY

SCRANTON, Pa, July 16. W.P)-
William Green, President of the
American Federation of Labor, be-
lieves the general strike at San
Francisco will be a long drawn out
affair.
II see no prospect of any i'm
mediate clearing up OF the San
Francisco situation" he said today.
Green refused to comment fur
ther on the strike situation. He
was here to attend the funeral of
Hugh Frayne, labor leader.
He said that passage by con-
gress of the housing bill lis one
of the biggest things of the year,
which will give jobs to thousands
of deserving workers"
Green said that he saw no need
of an anthracite code since the
wage agreement between miners
and operators ''is code in itself
which does not expire until 1886.

BAER NOT TO
FIGHT UNTIL
NEXT JUNE

NEW YORK, July 16. (UP) -
Make Baer will not defend his
world heavyweight championship
until June, Jimmy Johnston, Mad
ison Square garden promoter an
nounced today.
Johnson made his announcement
after receiving a telegram from
Ancil Hoffman, Baer's manager, in
Boston. Hoffman said he did not
think there was a challenger of
sufficient prominence at present
who could make it worth while for
Make to defend the title in Sep
tember.
Accordingly, he advised Johnson
to build up a contender for next
year.
Hoffman sent his telegram today
because the gardens contract with
Baer stipulated that Baer, if he
won the title from Primo Carnera,
had until July Is to decide whether
he wished to defend in September

Candidates Talk
At Jacunba Rally

Several thousand persons gather
ed at Jacumba yesterday aft ernoon
and heard numerous candidates for
public office put forth arguments
why they should be the choice of
the voters at the August primary.
George Creel, Democratic candi-
date for governor, was the out
standing speaker of the day, ex-
planning the reasons why Dem
ocrat should be chosen for gov
ernor and why he should be that
Democrat. Creel's talk was well
received, many Republicans pres
ent paying tribute to his ability
as an orator and his understanding
of public affairs.
Candidates for superior judge,
sheriff and various other county
offices also were listened to at
tentively.
Charles Provence presided as
chairman.

, taught and an examination be sue
cessfully passed therein by every
graduate of the public schools be-
fore any pupil receives his diplo-
ma. The pupnc scnoois are the
foundations upon which our demo-
cratic form of government rests
and so it is essential to our welfare
that every boy and girl understands
the basic principles of our govern
ment. I believe that the boys and
girls of Imperial county have re-
ceived thorough instruction, not on
ly in the constitution of the United
States, but in the principles of
good citizenship as we'll. Our
teachers have steadfastly striven,
in the classroom and on the play
ground, to guide and inspire good
citizenship in the everyday acts of
the children. I believe this care
full guidance trains for true de-
votion to our best American insti-
tutions and ideals and is the best
defense against those radicals who
would destroy our government.
The elementary schools of Cali
fornia are required to devote not
less than so per cent of each school
week to the teaching of reading,
writing, spelling, language and
arithmetic. A goodly portion of
each day is spent in the so-called
social studies-history, geography,
civics, nature study, fire prevention,
safety and thrift. The methods by
which these studies are taught will
naturally vary with the pupil and
from school to school. I believe it
essential that each child be given
the opportunity to learn and to de-
velop as rapidly as his capacity will
permit and that he be freed from
sitting uniformity.
We are concerned with proficiency
in the fundamental processes but
we are also concerned with the
growth and development of right
conduct and good character of ev-
cry child. This we hope to attain
through the social studies; through
both work and play; through the
words ard deeds of the teacher,
close cooperation with civic and ru-
raj organizations, the home and the
church.
The present state course of study
is the basis of our educational pro-
gram in Imperial county. 1t has
been developed after long period
of study. 1t is sufficiently flexible
that each school may be adapted
to it's particular community. The
schools belong to the people and
should satisfy the needs OF the
people.
Few opportunities offer for COM
pairing directly the results obtained
in the schools of Imperial county
with those obtained in other coun-
ties. This county won the sweep
stakes prize for the best large unit
of work entered and displayed at
the state fair at Sacramento last
year. The previous year a display
of school work was shown which
was not officially entered but was
of such high quality that the man
agement of the state fair awarded
our display a silver loving cup. The
state department of education rates
the schools of Imperial county high
ly.
have indicated my educational
policy. 1t is as broad as life itself
and is, in my opinion, we'll fitted to
the needs of the children of I'm
perial county. If this letter has
made a little more clear to you
what we are trying to do in our
public schools, it has served its pur-
pose.

GENERAL TAXB|LL
MAY A|DF|[|P|N0S
Earlier independence Seen
Due to C0conut Oil
Tie-up.

BY the Associated Press.
If Filipinos get complete independ-
ence much earlier than they expect
and the prospects looked brighter
for them today-they can thank the
general tax bill.
Independence for the islands found
itself wrapped up in part today with
Philippine coconut oil. The tax bill
calls for a tax on the oil. President
Roosevelt has said he Is strongly op-
posed to taxing Philippine imports
of any kind until there Is full polit-
ical and economic independence.
Word has come now from the ad-
ministration that President Roosevelt
will withhold a veto Of the $480, ,000,-
900 tax bill, even though it retains
the coconut oil tax. In view of his
opposition to any tax on island i'm
ports, some observers believe Philip
pine independence within a few years
may be presaged.
Neither Mr.. Roosevelt nor admin
istration spokesmen have mentioned
a move for quicker island freedom,
however.
Reports were revived today, too, that
the administration might be contem-
plating the dispatch of a commission
to study the situation. Under the
independence act recently passed by
Congress a l0-year transition period
is prescribed, both Senators Borah,
Republican, Of Idaho and Tydings,
Democrat, Of Maryland have spoken
Of shortening this period.
Chairman Harrison of the Senate
Finance Committee made the predic-
ton mo veto" after visits at the
White House and the State and War
Departments.
The big tax bill itself finally had
moved to a Senate-House conference
today. The first meeting is not ex-
pected for several days, however
Unless the Philippine tax problem
is settled in conference, Harrison said,
a joint resolution might be introduced
in both houses to repeal or modify the
levy.
Harrison issued a formal statement
later, terming 'unjustified" criticisms
Of the bill as it passed the Senate.
1T has been widely stated in the
press" he said, that the Senate bill
