ONLY SMALL
RELIEF CUTS
ANTICIPATED

Scheduled budget reductions in
State Relief Administration work
in Imperial county are not to be
drastic at this time. according to
w. S. Filter, county director for the
SRA.
Amounts allowed for clothing on
all SRA budgets will be deducted at
this time as will the small amount
representing the value of federal
surplus commodities, he said.
As soon as the sewing projects in
the county are operating in full
swing, clothing will be available for
relief families in this county.
Each budget contained an allow
ance of 81 month for each per-
son, Filter said, and this amount
will be removed from each budget.
The surplus commodities we're dis
tributed over and above the budget
in the past but henceforth will be
omitted.

Trade was far better than we

year on Christmas stuff"
Better Gifts Bought
A hardware firm reported a 25
per cent increase in buying. A jew
eler'S estimate was identical.
Better gifts were purchased, all
firms agreed.
From the FL Centre postoffice
came the most conclusive reports
of all. That the purchases made
in stores and shops were reflected
in the postoffice business was
pointed out by Postmaster Rich
mbnd and Max Spence.
Stamp sales for December al
ready are $500 greater than last
year. A steady flow of mail, in
dicating that shoppers had needed
the seasonal shop early" warn
ings, was commented upon by the
postmaster before he quoted figures
showing the month to be greatest
in the history of the office.
The huge total of letters passing
through the office was shown in
cancellation figures. On Dec. 10,
$4,000 letters were run through
the cancelling machine. Respect
i've days thereafter, through Dec.
"a. saw cancellations of 1894 let
tiers on Dec. 20, 14,762 on the Dist,
5,249 on the 22nd, 1868 on the
23rd and 17,421 on the oath. This
does not include heavy letters
and parcels too big to run through
the cancelling machine.
Last Monday brought the heav-
lest incoming mail ever received
at the postoffice, Richmond said.
It included 1T sacks. Heavy mail
receipts began about Dec. 18, he
declared, and continued through
Christmas day. On Dec. % and "a
total of BIT sacks of mail was
received.
Stamp Total Up
The postoffice crew was forced
to extra hours, delivering packages
Christmas day until 1870 a. III.
and keeping the window open for
parcel delivery until 10 a. m. The
packages delivered Christmas day
had been received that morning.
The heavy Christmas rush helped
bring the years stamp total to
SOS ,342.49 through Dec. %, as COM
pared to a total of S64,0l4.12 for
last year. Included in last years
receipts, too, was heavy election
year mailing which accounted for
more than $1,000 from the county
alone for sample ballots and other
election supplies, besides mailing
done by candidates. Before this
year is ended, an additional 1000
is expected to be added to the
total.
Domestic money orders to date
this year totaled 1921 1922, Rich

uoitS, dn emu OF DOOnQogglng, re-
vised tax laws, and revised none
tary policy were prominent fea-
lures of the program offered 10y
the militant and anti-New Deal
league.
Congress can be of greatest serv-
ice to the nation by asserting its
rights ard obligations and by insis-
tence upon conformity with con-
stitutional requirements" the league
said.
The program:
/. The budget: Treasury deficits
should be brought to an abrupt end
by reducing expenditures to the
level of receipts"
2. Relief: "A moderate appro-
priation properly may be made for
direct relief for a limited period
with provision thereafter for loans
TO such states as are unable to as
sumo their full responsibilities for
the care of the needy"
3. Public works: Expenditure of
government funds for boondoggling
and for local Improvements under
the guise of work relief should be
halted"
4. Taxation: THE purpose of
congress should be to ease rather
than to increase the tax burden on
business. on the home. and on the
individual"
5. Monetary and banking policies:
I'm anticipation of the expiration
in January, 1887. of three-year
emergency powers granted to the
President in connection with the
adjustment of the gold content of
the dollar and the use of a gold
sterilization fund, Congress should
plan for a revision of the monetary
laws along sound lines
6. Government and business:
THE American system of private
enterprise should not be handicap
ped by restrictive and coercive legis-
lation'
z. Public utilities: The death
sentence provision applying to pub
lie utility holding companies :.
should be repealed. D.. the activities
OF the Tennessee Valley Authority
should be curbed"
8. Social security: "Furt her
study should be made =. the objec-
tives of the law will be frustrated
unless many amendments are
made"
9. Agriculture: THE AAA and
other laws relating to agriculture
should be completely revised with
view to the elimination of methods
in conflict with the constitution"
10. Reciprocal tariffs: Congress
should retain veto power over
treaties"
IL. Executive usurpation: THE
entire field +. should be reviewed
The vast bureaucracy =. should be
overhauled. The new agencies E. i.
should be investigated"
IL. Preservation of the Constitu-
ton: Amendments which would
overthrow the dual form of govern
ment or break down the division of
authority among the executive,

outside this category" tof harmony
