CATTELL DESERVES OFFICE

For Is years H. G. Cattell has served
as a member of the state board Of equall-
zation from the Southern California area
and in seeking reelection on November
6. does so on the basis of his record in
office which even his opponents have not
been able to challenge successfully
Because of the steadily increasing re-
sponsibilities and powers delegated to
the state board of equalization, it is i'm
portant that a man who has made rec
ord for efficient, capable and honest
public service should be retained in office.
In its tax handling duties last year,
the state board administered taxes
amounting to Sl20,000000, indicating
that only persons familiar with tax prob
lens and possessed of administrative
ability and experience, plus high sense
of civic duty, should be entrusted with
the work of this important board.
Beginning next January l, when the
change in public utilities becomes effect
i've, the duties of the board assume
greater Importance than ever. The
board will be required to appraise all
public utilities property in the state and
allocate them back to city and county
governments.
Only board composed of members
familiar with the duties of the office can
accomplish this gigantic task to the best
interests of the taxpayers of the state.
1t should be remembered that the state
board of equalization administers the
liquor control laws and also the state
sales tax, and gasoline tax.
The Importance of this board makes
it DANGEROUS to experiment with mex
perienced members, particularly during
the next four years, which are certain to
present considerable tax difficulties.
The Press endorses H. G. Cattell as a
high type of public official, who even
during this campaign has continued to
place the duties of his office first and
efforts to get votes second, and urges
support for him by the voters of Imper-
ial county on November 6.

her burned tail as I told you last
night.
Getting Ready
So all over Woodland, near the
Orange Ice Mountains, and in Un-
Gle Wiggily'S bungalow the animal
boys and girls got ready for the
Halloween fun. Each one tried to
keep secret from the others the
kind of false face to be worn. Half
the fun of Halloween is not know
ing who rings your doorbell to ask
for apples, oranges or perhaps pen
nieS.
I'm going to fool my Dummies
this Halloween, said Uncle Wig
gily to his wife as night came on.
"What do you mean, Wiggy?'
asked the rabbit lady.
1T s this way said Mr.. Long
ears. Each Halloween before
now, some OF my bunnies find out
what kind of costume I am to
wear and what sort of false face
I am to put over my pink, twink
ling nose. Once I made up like an
apple pie, but they found out by
looking in my room and seeing the
pie false face. Another time I
wanted to be a rice pudding. But
Baby Bunty, going in my room to
get a piece of string, saw the rice
pudding false face on my bureau,
and of course she told all the 9TH
ers and of course they knew who
l was when tried to fool them -
"What are you going TO do this
year?' asked Mrs. Longears.
"Come up in my room and II
show you,' said her husband. Up
stairs he showed his wife the false
face of pig. one of rooster, an
other of a rocking chair, a fourth
OF a gas stove and a fifth of a foot
ball
Are you gong to dress up like
all those characters? asked the
lady rabbit.
The Big Secret
"Oh. no!' laughed Uncle Wig
gily. Hidden down cellar is the
Imperial Valley press., 1934-10-31

false face of o chocolate cake. I'm
going out as a chocolate cake!
Don't tell -
The rabbit lady laughed and said
she wouldn't. So Mr.. Longears,
on purpose, left out the false faces
of the pig, rooster, rocking, chair,
gas stove and football in his room.
Not meaning TO sneak up 10 find
out, one after another of the bum
nv children did manage to see
them. And one told another. So
that each rabbit boy or girl had q
different idea of what their daddy
was going to look like that Hal
loween.
And wasn't Baby Bunty surprised
when she said to q football false
face: 81 know you, Uncle Wig!
Take it off" But it was Mr..
Twistytail, the pig gentleman, who
was dressed up like football. Mr..
Whitewash, the Polar Bear went
out like a gas stove.
"But where is Unkie wig?" ask
ed Baby Bunty at the Halloween
party little later when she wore
her yellow dress. ''Where is Un-
kie Wig?'
Here I ami" said a big choco-
late cake and there, truly, benin
that false face. was the rabbit gen.
tleman. How they all laughed!
And if the flower pot will plant
some canary bird seed to grow lit
tie chickens I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily and Poodle IS

A DREAM COMES TRUE

Yesterday he stood almost ankle deep
IN dust, watching men and mules dig in
to the soil of Imperial Valley as they
carried on to its conclusion the battle he
had fought for over decade for the
people of this community.
Only little while ago Phil d. Swing
stood in the house of representatives,
hammering away to overcome the count
less objections raised by enemies of the
Swing-J Johnson bill and slowly but grad
ually convincing his fellow-representa
tives of the merits of the legislation he
offered them.
Passage of the Swing-J ohnson bill was
a triumph for him but he admitted that
yesterdays experience was an even
greater cause for joy.

ing that person gets as he watches

midst of the fight in congress it seemed
at times hopeless task to keep on plug
ging away. 1t was hard going most of
the way, but it was harder yesterday to
convince myself that no longer was there
need to plead and argue and that the
men and animals before me We're actual
ly there instead of being mirage
.The most gratifying thing about it,"
he added, SIS the spirit of these men who
are digging the canal 1t is the same old
pioneer spirit that leveled the land and
dug the bitches in the old days. The
pace they are hitting is fast one and
only hope the horses and mules can keep
up with it. | have no worries about the
men continuing it.
Il happen to know that the govern
ment officials also are we'll pleased with
the way the valley people are perform
ing on the canal work. There has been
no tendency to hold back or to soldier on
the job On the contrary there is an ex-
cellent atmosphere of competition be-
tween gangs and individuals and they
take pride in seeing who can accomplish
the most work To say | am proud of
the men is to express it mildly. 1t made
my spine tingle to watch them and to do
a little quiet thinking, reflecting on the
past and anticipating the future"
1t is not given to all Of us to have the
pleasure of seeing dream come true
but if ever a man was entitled to that
pleasure Phil Swings work for Imperial
Valley makes him deserving of it.
