Follows KeIIey's Opinion.

The letter received today follows an
opinion delivered to Chairman Lyma n
M. Kelley of the County Board, in
which he asserted the belief that the
board had the right, under a special
act giving it the same powers as those
enjoyed by city councils to fill its own
vacancies.
In his letter to Garnett. Staples
asserts that the letter originally re-
ceived by him from the board chair
man would create the impression that
there was either a vacancy existing or
one impending, land that this Office
was asked for an opinion to guide the
board in filling the vacancy There
was no intimation that there was any
intention to contest the authority
which had already been exercised in
filling the vacancy. If such had been
the case, no opinion would have been
rendered from this Office"
Counsel for Garnett and B. M. Smith
the other deposed member, interpreted
the reference to the decision already
made by the court to infer that the
court had ruled appointments by it to

Relief Workers Payless.
Meanwhile, refusal of County
Treasurer Charles T. Jesse to recog-
nize any actions of the board as legal
left a number Of workers engaged on
Federal emergency relief projects in
the county without pay checks.
This situation developed at a
special meeting of the county board
called by Chairman Kelley for
the purpose of approving a Federal
emergency relief pay roll, including
S77.10 for the administrative force
and S63925 for the workmen them
selves. The meeting Immediately fol-
lowed the serving of notice on the re-
elected members, the two recently Sc
lected members, and the county man
ager that the two recently ousted
members will ask the State Supreme
Court of Appeals in Wytheville next
Tuesday for writ Of mandamus COM
pelling their recognition as members
Of the board.
When it convened this morning
there were present the chairman, Mrs.
Elizabeth Magruder, an elected mem
Der, and Edmund D. Campbell, one Of
the two members selected to fill the
alleged vacancy caused by the ousting
of Garnett and Smith.
Campbell Not Recognized.
COMMONWEALTH Attorney Lawrence
w. Douglas immediately served notice
that the meeting was not legal one,
both because it had been improperly
called and because there were only
two of the original members Of the
board present. He refused to recog-
nize Campbell as a member and
claimed, therefore. that there was not
a quorum present.

'WHITHER ARE WE DRIFTING%

The state of Oklahoma, which has Off
cred several unique matters to the world
in the field of legislation, has undertak-
en- a new activity which can be classed
as an innovation in penal reform.
For some time the state has had be-
hind the bars of its prison, one Matthew
Kline, with pre-prison record for muir
der, bank robbery and other infractions
of the law. Kline may never have enter
ed the Dillinger- r-Floyd-Nelson class, but
he caused plenty of worry to peace Off
GERS in Oklahoma and adjoining states.
Eventually captured and convicted, he
was sentenced to prison for 20 years, of
which he has served possibly four or five
years.
Last week Kline was let out of prison
NOT on pardon, not on parole not even
permanently He was given a vacation
of six days, by order of Governor Muir
ray, during which time he will accom-
pany his attorney on a quail hunt The
reason given for the governors action is
that Kline has "been good boy in pris-
on and has behaved himself. Being a
man of the outdoors, he needs relaxation
from the close confinement of a penal
institution.
Oklahoma has pointed the way and we
hope other states will follow its exam
pie, California for instance
The wardens at San Quentin and Fol-
som are having a difficult time keeping
their charges pacified. San Quentin, in
tended for 5000 persons is housing over
7,000 Folsom is practically as bad.
1t might be we'll for Governor Merriam
to follow the lead of Alfalfa Bill"
There is a choice assortment of murder
ers, robbers, thieves and whatnot in both
institutions who, no doubt, would great
ly enjoy vacation and we know that
law abiding communities throughout the
state would welcome chance to enter
tain them with quail hunting, duck hunt
ing or whatever they desire. California's
well-known hospitality might even go
further. Some communities might pro-
vide few banks for the boys to rob, or a
few folks to kill off so that their vaca-
tions would be really enjoyable and in
keeping with their habits.
This opening step in penal reforma-
ton offers a wide and extensive field.
Once started it can be broadened and ex-
tended indefinitely. The possibilities are
enormous.

WHITE KING
OFFERS NEW
HEALTH SOAP

AS a result of extensive scientific
experiments, conducted in Los Ange
les, the White King soap company
offers to the people of Imperial Val
ley, a new soap with greater effect
i've disinfectant qualities, which 1t
claims brings real enjoyment in its
use.
According 10 officials of the com
pany, "the odor is pleasant, size
and shape of the cake practical and
convenient. and it is non-irritating
to the softest skin"
The White King Soap company
offers this new achievement under
the trade. mark of "A-Plus Health
Soap" Tom Leib, football coach at
Loyola university, acclaims it the
greatest soap for athletes ever de-
|yeloped.
Women everywhere will welcome
this new toilet soap designed to
meet all the needs of the active,
modern. day life.

the market. Made from entirely new
materials, formerly considered un.
usable in the manufacture of soap,
and containing such ingredients as
aromatic oils that are imported for
soap making exclusively by the
White King Soap company, A-Plus
is the first new departure in soap
making in many years.
Months were spent in gathering
scores of new materials never be-
fore used in soap-making, and new
processes were tried until a proper
method was developed that would
produce the desired results. All of
the analytical resources Of chemis'
try and manufacturing ability were
called upon before A-Plus was con.
sidered ready for presentation to

THE WRONG COURSE

Our sister republic on the south enters
today on new era, with the Inaugural
tion of General Lazaro CardenaS as its
forty-fifth president.
He succeeds Gen. Abelardo Rodriguez.
called to the presidency when Pablo Or
tlz-Rubio resigned due to ill-health. Rod
figuez, well known in Imperial Valley as
the former governor of the Northern
District of Lower California, retires to
private life with the highest honors avail
able in his country and with long per-
iod of distinguished service to j s.
Cardenas, who is only 80 years old, is
the youngest president in the history of
Mexico. He has been a military man for
20 years, though he is reputed to have an
excellent knowledge of craftsmanship.
There is prevalent in the United States
belief that Cardenas is of the Gales
regime. This is probably true for Gales
is still the Strong man" of Mexico and
no man antagonistic to his ideas has
much chance of reaching the presidency
while Gales lives.
The welfare of Mexico is of vital inter-
est to the United States. We have not.
contrary to some opinions, any preda-
tory designs on Mexico and wish for it
stable government, capable of giving
its people the fullest advantages under
d democratic form of government.
A significant fact that casts doubt on
Its ability to do this is seen in connection
with the inauguration of President Car
denas, in the absence of any prayer as
part of the inauguration program
something that no other nation, with the
exception of Russia, would permit. The
United States, often slurred as God
less nation" inaugurates its chief execu-
tive and the governors of its various
states with simple but sincere appeal to
Divine Providence for guidance
The absence of prayer comedies with
Mexico's apparent determination to
stamp out religion-not only the ancient
religion of the country, as some assert,
but religion of all forms. This attitude
of the government deprives hundreds
of thousands of its citizens of an in
alienable right-the right to worship as
they please. This is fundamental in
the government of the United States
wisely recognized by the forefathers of
the nation and proved beyond all doubt
by the course of its history
Godlessness is too akin to Communism
for any nation to adopt if it values its
safety Man is by nature religious and
to deprive him of all religion is to invite
disaster. General Cardenas handicaps
his nation, perhaps not during his regi-
me, but ultimately, by following the eX-
ample of Russia.
The people of the United States. re-
gardless of religious aff;liation, cannot
help but deplore such a course.

his Jolly basket to last them all

Squiggle Bugs. They, also, had no

Next he saw a DOODLE Hopper,
which is a very queer little animal.

he was eating snow.
