Housing Sanitation
Survey Being Made
Throughout County

In an effort to definitely analyze
the housing situation and general
sanitary conditions, a county wide
survey is being made in Imperial
Valley. This survey is an SERA
project, approved by the Imperial
county board of supervisors and
conducted under the general super
vision of DR.. Warren F. Fox, head
of the county health department,
cooperating with representatives OF
the state housing division.
This survey will be of value to
every citizen OF Imperial county.
The educational value alone will
justify the survey. Those who are
interested III improving their prem
iseS, making them more habitable
for themselves and their families
will receive full cooperation from
the county health department and
advice in making necessary sani-
tary improvements.
For self-preServation man must
wage an unrelnitting warfare
against disease and sickness. To
make this warfare effective and
of mutual benefit there must be
mutual cooperation among the
citizens of the county, state and
nation. To make the present sur
yey a success, the residents of I'M
perial county, both in the cities
and the rural areas are invited to
lend every assistance possible to
those conducting this survey. This
cooperation will be heartily appre-
ciated by those who are making
this survey" DR.. Fox said.

MEASURE Up
To GOVERNOR
FOR SIGNING
Becomes Effective Immediately
Upon Receiving His Signature
And Is Not Retroactive
PUSHED THROUGH BY HULSE
Senator Succeeds In Getting
Belated Legislation Through
Both Houses OF Legislature

SACRAMENTO, June II. W.p-A
bill providing for repeal of Imperial
county's property qualification act
moved toward the governor today
after passage by the legislature.
Introduced by Sen. Ben Hulse,
Imperial, it was designed to remove
the restriction that voters at bond
elections must be property owners.
Hulse said the action was neces-
sary to insure success of plans for
a $14,000000 federal loan for an
Imperial Irrigation district power
project. without its repeal, it was
feared the validity of an approach
ing special election on revenue
bond issue might be jeopardized.
Repeal of the property qualifica-
ton act as applied to the Imperial
Irrigation district, was sought last
week subsequent to the decision OF
the fourth district court of appeals
which declared the act, passed by
the 1888 legislature, to be uncon-
stitutional.
s Harry w. Horton, chief counsel
; for the district. went to Sacramen-
to in the middle of the week, and
with the aid OF Senator Hulse,
drafted the bill asking for repeal,
Due to the brief time elapsing
before the legislature was sched.
uled to adjourn, it was doubtful II
the repeal measure could be intro
duced, and even if it were, that 1t
could be passed.
The leadership of Senator Hulse
was demonstrated when he had the
bill passed by the senate before
the end of the week. 1t was passed
by the assembly yesterday and now
goes to the governor for signature.
Leaders here believe that the gov
ernor will sign the repeal measure.
1t was passed as an emergency
measure, and according to state
ment by Horton, will become effec-
tive Immediately after it is signed
by the governor and is not retro
active. He also advised that the
repeal will not have any bearing ON
the district election of February 3,
now under dispute in the state
courts.

Tax InstaIlment
Plan Continued

Extension for two years of the
time in which a taxpayer may take
advantage OF the 10 year plan was
granted by this last session of the
legislature, both houses passing as
sembly bill 1884, according to in
formation received by Dan West,
county assessor-collector, from Sen
ator Ben HulSS
This extension does not affect
irrigation districts, Senator Hulse
points out, his letter being in an
swer to one by West, asking for
information. Until this extension
was granted, the time in which a
taxpayer might take advantage OF
the redemption plan had expired.
West also received letter from
Ray Riley. state controller, send
ing a copy OF. the measure and say
'1ng that the bill had gone into ef-
feet. At the time HulSe wrote, the
bill had not been signed by Cover
nor Merriam although it was then
the belief that he would sign 1t.

OUSTED AIDE
CLAIMS GRAFT
IN "NEW DEAL"

WASHINGTON, June IT. (U.P)--
Ewing Y. Mitchell, ouSted assistant
secretary of commerce, attacked
the new deaP' today in a state
ment that charged improper fav-
oritism and graft abound in the
department of commerce.
TT is unfortunate but none-the-
less true" Mitchell said, that the
department of commerce is not the
only department in Washington
where the ideals of the new deal
have been strangled, improper fav-
oritism and graft abound, where
there is apparent evidence of cor
ruption, and the progress of the old
steal proceeds unabated."
Mitchell's services were termin-
ated Saturday by President Roose-
Welt after he had refused to tender
his resignation or accept a subordi-
nate legal position. An official
statement said he was removed to
obtain more effective supervision
of certain bureaus of the depart
ment of commerce"

SABOTAGE IN
POWER STRIKE
BY HENRY B. HENSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

TOLEDO, O., June II. U.R) - To"
ledo Edison company operating en(-
ployeeS voted 81 to 48 today to &C
cept compromise proposals and re-
turn to work.
The action brought an end to the
threat of a power shutdown which
had faced industrial and domestic
electricity users in a tri-state area
with a population of 100000. 1t
came when scattered acts of vio-
lence and sabotage had resulted in
a partial power failure.
TOLEDO, Ohio, June IT. -
Thousands of early risers shaved
and dressed by candle light today
as mysterious interferences with
electric current flow and scattered
acts of sabotage seriously impaired
light service.
Negotiations to end the strike of
operating and office employees of
the Toledo Edison company con-
tinued. The entire membership of
the Operating Workers union met
at 10 a. m. to hear Edward F. Nc
Grady, assistant secretary of labor,
urge a plan for settlement.
Repeated interferenceS with the
current flow to thousands of homes
aroused fears for industries of a
tri-state area that employs thou
sands of men and which is entire
ly dependent upon electric current.
Last night and early today all
lights in several sections were eX-
tinguished and remained out for
hours. Apparently switches had
been thrown in the central power
house or in regional control sta
tionS.
The fashionable Point Place re-
sidential district was without lights
or power to operate electrical ap-
pliances. Approximately $500 per-
sons live in the area. Numerous in
cidents of cut electric lines were
reported and the company warned
parents to supervise children's play
closely lest they happen upon sew
cred electric lines
Police were unable to place re-
sponsibility for the sabotage, nor
would the company or its striking
employees comment. The power
plants are being operated by en-
gineers and minor executives.

(SpeciaD-They have such a
thing among nations, like they do

can be, but all these others have
gobbled up something at some

than ever. Reading history has
put all these ideas in Japan's

HOG PRICES SET
new HIGH MARK
Sharp Increase Sends Top
to SIPS, Best Level
Since 1929.

Another new high mark was
reached in hog trading at the In
dianapolis Union Stockyards today
where prices were sharply Is to
IS cents higher than Saturdays
best average. The new top price
was 1925, the highest paid for
any classes of hogs since 1929, &C
cording to the government Office.
While the general run appreciated
the most, underweights were large
~ 25 cents above last weeks close.
The increase, supported by an ex-
tremely light supply for Monday
session and a strong demand, carried
the top price 10 cents above the
new high mark which was estab-
lished in the sharp upward move
ment early last month.
With only 5000 hogs on hand at
the local exchange today trading
turned extremely active and buy
ers were scrambling over the light
supply. Although the local mar
ket was about the highest in the
mid western area, sharp increases
and limited supplies we're reported
at surrounding livestock centers.
The general bulk, $50 to 100
pounds, were being offered at S11.05
to $1205, while 100 to 300 pounds,
sold at S12O5 to $1215. Several
choice grades, however, were re-
ported selling from 1920 to $12.25.
In the lightweight division, hogs
weighing 100 to 100 pounds, brought
SLOTS to S11.50. Packing soWs held
at $40 to S1O75. Only Sc hogs were
held over for tomorrows market.
Dependable action prevailed in all
classes in the cattle market and
prices held steady despite limited
supply on hand. Receipts were es-
timated at only 700. With good and
choice grades absent, beef steers
were selling from $3.50 to $40. Odd
head Of heifers ranged from SO to
S10.5O. Bulk of other classes sold
mostly at $3.50 down.
Vealer prices, after scoring sharp
in the Iater sessions last
week, remained unchanged at Fri
days average. Demand was some
what lighter despite a sharp drop
in receipts. The bulk of good and
choice kinds we're salable at Sill to
S115O. Receipts numbered 400.
With the improved fall demand
evident in the lamb market, prices
were largely 25 cents or more higher
than Saturdays average. Bulk Of
good and choice eve and wether
lambs was selling from $40 to S10.75.
while most bucks ranged downward
from $3.50. Throwouts brought 81
to $3.50. Slaughter sheep cashed
in at ST to SO. Receipts were 1900.

In it he shows how, through null
tiple interlocking directories, the
rulers of the French bank of issue
exercise vast control over every
branch of French business. He also
shows how, through their banking
connections, they represent the old
aristocracy of France, whose politi-
cal control was broken by the
French revolution but who still rule
the nation through their representa-
tives upon the central bank, accord
ing to M Delaisi.
Big Political Issue
This is the issue which during the
last few months has been mounting
to paramount importance in French
political discussions, and which po-
litical observers say may sway the
choices in the next elections in
France-if the organized Fascist
or Communist groups Go not organ
ize a coup d'etat before them.
Three of the regents of the Bank
of France, including the governor,
it is pointed out, are appointed by
the government to represent the
public interest. M Delaisi explains
how the bank takes care of this
situation as follows:
THE law of 1906 DEGREES that be
fore assuming his duties the gov
ernor shall posses a hundred shares
in the bank, and each Of the as
sistant governors shall possess fifty
shares These are not to be sold
while they are in Office; they serve
as a kind of security. During Ma
poleon's time shares were worth
about 1000 francs apiece. Today
their exchange value is 1O,34O
francs.
Officials Indebted"
TIN honorable official, however
high he may stand in the hierarchy
rarely has a million or even half
million francs at his disposal. But
let no such matter stand in the way.
The regents, six of whom are bank
ers, will be glad to sell the neces-
sary shares on credit to their flu
ture controller in order to permit
him to exercise his function.
This makes him their debtor, SO
that, if a conflict arises between his
creditors and the power that APP
pointed him to Office, he is faced
with curious dilemma.
IF he takes the governments
side he is saddled with a debt that
he can not pay off. If, on the con-
trary, the governor takes the re-
gents side they will not only al
low him all kinds of delays in max
ing payment, but will secure for him
a gilded retirement in one Of the
numerous directorates in which
they are interested"
