ed, and local, have been trying to
fathOm recently published rumor. or
speculation, of one man. undertaking.
to explain the late visit of former
Governor Max Gardner to Mexico
City as the guest of Ambassador
JoHcphus Daniels.
Mr.. Gardner, it was guessed. went
down to the conquistadores, to plight
his trOth to Mr.. Daniels and to offer
the ambassador all possible Gardner
help if the minister to Mexico would
resign and return to North Carolina
to run against Senator Josiah Will
liam Bailey, The equal of that story
has not been written since Arthur
Talmad9c Abernethy found out that
George Washington wished to be king
AS the story arose in dry territory it
is quite impossible to believe that Ii
quOr could have moved a scribe to
such dreams.
The visit of Mr.. and Mrs. Gardner
to Mr.. and Mrs. Daniels was news
enough. albeit despite the persistent
pounding of Gardner by the ambas-
sadOr while the Washington big-time
lawyer was governor, the Gardners
and the Danielcss did not break so
cially 1t was a great gift of the Gard
ner administration that it could take
it without the impulse to give it.
More than once Mr.. Daniels expressed
his belief that Gardner was the worst
governor the State ever had. And the
crOwning sin of Gardner was his de-
feat Of both forms of the sales tax
so passionately presented by Mr.
Daniels and so reprobated now by
him. 1t is hardly conceivable that Mr.
Daniels called Mr.. Gardner down be-
low to make amends for past abuse
and to commend him for beating the
OdiOuS sales tax.
But quite apart from any such spc-
culationS. Mr.. Gardner hardly is boost
ING Mr. Daniels for the Senate. Time
was when Mr.. Daniels was interested
enough in the Senate to ask for the
personnel of the Gardner organiza-
ton. That was shortly after the re-
turn from the naval service of eight
wears in the Wilson cabinet. There
will be no difficulty on Mr.. Gardeners
part ir, supporting Senator josiah
William Bailey, who is one of the
stcadicst of the Gardner admirers and
ANYTHING but disposed to leave the
Senate for Mr.. Daniels, who has
shown little desire to try for any
elective honors in North Carolina.

Ehrinohaus is not certain that the
remedy now or hereafter is that ses

In the first place there is hte great
est possible doubt that the State Con-
stitution empowers the State to enact
such legislation as Will be asked by
WASHINGTON. There are several states
which have found themselves estop-
ped when thev undertook such action.
Other states have had their extra
ordinary sessions to no purpose what
ever. These legislatures nave met and
adjourned finding the congressional
act itself in such incomplete state as
to be futile as pattern for the
states. Governor Ehringhaus and At
torney General A. A. F. Seawen have
studied a great deal together. They
have consulted Governor John G.
Winant, director of the social security
board, and Mr.. Winant is apparently

To OPPONENTS

OAKLAND, May II. U.P)-Dr.
Francis E. Townsend, originator of
the old age revolving pension plan,
shifted the defensive to his oppon-
entS today in a struggle for con-
troll of the organization which grew
mushroomlike in support of his pro-
gram.
Striking direct at his critics in
one of the centers of the opposition
to his rule, the former Long Beach,
Calf, physician challenged them
to reveal the sources of the funds
being used in the campaign to un-
seat him.
simultaneously he revealed that
his own books were open for in
spection at any time. Federal rep
resentatiyes. he said, had gone
over them and had found nothing
to question in the handling of the
money sent in by enthusiasts all
over the United States to support
the plan.
To critics who are demanding a
national convention of individual
Townsend clubs. the sponsor of the
$500 monthly pension movement
said that The organization was not
ready for a national gathering

face east of the Mississippi river,

States population lies he said in
his speech at Oakland auditorium
last night. "a truly national con-
vention therefore could not be

The pension leader refused to an
swer some of the questions put to
him during the meeting, which
10000 attended. There were some
which were too scurrilous, he
said.
He predicted that the next con-
gressicnal elections would send suf-
ficient Townsend supporters to con-
gress 10 put through the plan,
which the present congress side
tracked.

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
THREE DAY WAIT GOING OUT

CALIFORNIA; social gin marriage
law, is a step nearer to repeal, the as
sembly having approved a resolution to
do away with it. The bill now goes to
the senate for action.
The law, calling for a three day de-
lay between the application and issuance
of a marriage license, was designed to
prevent marriages between persons, one
or both of whom might be under the in
fluence of liquor. 1t does not say that
in so many words, but that is the gener-
ally accepted meaning of the law.
1t never should have been put on the
statute books and it has not halted what
it was intended to halt-hasty marriages.
Those who want to be married in hurry
and who find the California law incon-
venient, merely go to Oregon, Nevada,
Arizona or Mexico, all of which are con-
Venient to various parts of California,
and are married there with quicknesS
and dispatch and generally as effective
" as though the knot had been tied in
California.
If there were occasions when intoXl"
Gated persons sought to be married,
law prohibiting the issuance of a license
to them, or if they became intoxicated
d1Ief the IlCelSe Hdu Deeu lSSuCu, plo-
hibiting any minister or magistrate from
marrying them, would have worked
out much better than the three day law.
An objector in the assembly to the
repeal of the law, protests against con-
sidering marriages from the commercial
viewpoint. There always has and always
will be a certain amount of commercial
ism connected with marriage and the
state itself takes the first commercial
step by charging a fee for the marriage
license, hence any objection on this par
ticular ground does stand up very we'll
Imperial county has felt the bad re-
suits of the three day law with a con-
tinual exodus of its marriageable men
and women to Yuma. If they can be
married there they should be married
here. They are Californians and their
state should assist them in every way to
be married instead of placing obstacles
in their way.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND JIMMIE S
TRICK

Many things were now happening
in Woodland, near the Orange Ice
Mountains where Uncle Wiggily
lived-many things that didn It hap
pen in winter for it was now spring.
For instance, the duck children
were now going in swimming, which
they couldn It do in winter.
What fun this is!' quacked
Jimmie Wibblewobble, the duck boy,
as he padded about the pond from
which the ice had melted. q
thought winter would never go away
so we could swim again" "
ooh, I knew winter would 60
it always does,p quacked Alice, who
was a very wise duck for little
girl. She was Jimmie s sister.
"But this is lots of funl" quack-
ed Lulu Wibblewobble. She was a
sort of tomboy duck, but she was
also Jimmie s sister and she liked
to swim with him and the other
boys.
SO the three ducks swan and
padded about the pond which

ducks swan Toodle and Noodle

they swan in a different way more
like a dog padding. Sometimes
Toodle and Noodle swan under
water. which the ducks couldn't do.
Wishes He Could Do II
There are some birds that can
dive and swim under water, but
they are not ducks. Often when
Jimmie Wibblewobble was watch
ing Toodle and Noodle swim in the
pond he wished he could dive as
they dived and that he could swim

can stay under two or three min

I'll get so I can swim under water
as they do
"Don't be so sillyl" said Uncle
Wiggily who hoped along just then.
But Jimmie began trying to keep
his head under water longer than
any duck boy should. He was prac-
ticing when along came swimming
Toodle and Noodle. Beavers swim
with their webbed hind paws, not
with their broad flat tails, as some
suppose.
''What are you doing, Jimmie?"
asked Toodle.
"I'm learning to swim under
water the way you do quacked
the duck boy. " Watch how long
1 can keep my head down." He
tilted himself up in the air, and,

DATRYMEN ENCOURAGED

Imperial Valley dairymen should re
celve plenty of announcement from the
outline Of the dairy industry conditions
presented by Sam H. Greene manager
of the California Dairy Council.
Greene has been closely identified with
the dairy industry in California for the
past 10 years and probably no man in
the country Is better informed on dairy
ing conditions than he is.
Among other things he called atten-
ton to the fact that not enough butter
Is produced in the United States to sup
ply the needs Of the nation and that it is
necessary to import butter from abroad
This in itself indicates the need for ex-
pansion of the industry.
He pointed out the advantages of the
Imperial Valley dairyman which enables
him to operate more cheaply than in
other dairying sections of the country
and, while agreeing that it is we'll to use
every effort to increase the use of dairy
products locally, as the Milk Institute is
endeavoring to do, this should not blind
the dairyman to the need for lending his
aid to increasing national consumption.
'Dairying will pull any agricultural
community out of the depression" he
said. There is considerable food for
thought in this. Dairying, like every
other industry, has been hard hit IN I'M
perial Valley in the past few years, but
none will dispute that the worst has
passed. The tuberculosis eradication
campaign has cleaned up valley herds,
the water shortage which struck so hard
at dairying last year, is a menace that
has gone forever
Ample forage, clean herds, plenty of
water, constantly improving means Of
transportation which bring markets near
er, all tend to make conditions better
for the dairyman. Like all businessmen
he still has plenty of worries over such
matters as high taxes, production costs,
and other factors connected with busi-
ness, but many Of his old enemies have
been laid low forever, his market is not
glutted and he has not as yet been order
ed to destroy every third pound of but
ter or pillow it under.
