NOTED ECONOMIST SAYS NATION
DEFINITELY MAKING RECOVERY

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, May %.
WP)-Irving Fisher, economist and
Yale university professor, said the
economic depression "is being stop
ped now" as he made an appeal
today for currency stabilization in
an address today before the con-
vention of KiwaniS International.
"One would-be witticism now
going the rounds" he said, sis
that Hoover could not prevent the
depression and Roosevelt could not
prevent the recovery'-a saying un-
just to both of our worthy Presi-
dents.
According to my own diagnosis,
this depression could have been al
most wholly prevented. After it
was in process, it could have been
stopped very quickly at any time.
1t is being stopped now"
This diagnosis he continued,
lis that big booms usually are due
to ver-indebtedneSs with initiation
of credit currency while depres-
Sions are due to liquidation of debt
with deflation OF credit currency"
He expressed the view that Pres

apparatus.
BY August Is it is expected that
bids will be called for the conStruc-
ton of the diversion dam. 1t is ex-
pected that bids will be asked for
the excavation of a rock cut at La
guna and the remaining part of the
canal between that point and the
diversion works by June Is to be
followed by bids for three or four
of the larger wash crossing struc-
lures,
Dowd also discussed with the re-
clamation engineers the proposed
routes for the canal through and
around CaleXico but this work has
not as yet reached the point where
a final estimation of costs is avail
able and for that reason no defin-
ite settlement of that question has
been made.

BILL
FORCES MEET
WITH DEFEAT.
President Upheld By Vote Of
50 To 40 With Only One
Senator Unable To Vote
BATTLE is NOT YET OVER
Supporters Of Measure Plan
Further Action Before Session
Is Ended

WASHINGTON, May 23 U.P)-
The senate today sustained Pres
ident Roosevelt's veto and killed
the Patman bonus bill.
The vote was Sd in favor of the
measure and 40 against.
The bonus forces were nine votes
short of the two-thirds majority
they needed to enact the bill over
the veto.
When the senate originally
passed the bill, the vote was 55 to
33.
Champions of the $2,2O00O0, 900
measure battled to the last during
a dramatic session. But they could
not win the two-thirds majority
necessary to have the senate join
the house in overriding the veto.
The votes against the Patman
plan definitely killed it for this
session, but did not down the bonus
issue.
Bonus supporters planned soon to
offer a plan giving Mr.. Roosevelt a
chance to pay the bonus either
through use of regular treasury fin
ancing, through use of work-relief
funds, or by issuing United States
notes. They believed offering of
those alternatives might win votes
of some senators who opposed the
mandatory currency issuance pro-
visions of the Patman bill.
|. President Roosevelt had warned
that the Patman bill would set the
nation on a dangerous course. The
tone of his veto indicated he also
would reject any other plan for I'M
mediate and full cash payment.
The proposed strategy of the
bonus forces to offer their alterna-
tive plan as a rider on an adminis-
tration bill may gravely comphcate
the new deals" legislative program
for the remainder of the session.
There was a single handicap
from the galleries when Vice-Pres-
ident John N. Garner announced:
THE bill has not passed"
The rest of the galleries sat in
silence.

ans legislation was overridden IN

SCHOOLS SEEK BUDGET CHANGES
New Ruling In State Law Causes Four To File
Petitions

Change in the Interpretation of
the five per cent budget increase
limitation has caused four county
schools, Imperial Union high school,
Magnolia, Rose and Seeley to have
to prepare petitions to the state
board of equalization in order to
continue the school year, states
C. B. Collins, county superintend-
ent.
Previous to a new ruling by the
attorney general the law, which
limits the increase in a school bud
get to only five per cent over that
for the previous year was inter
preted to mean an increase over
the total.
School funds come from several
sources, state, county and district,

ruled that the limitation applies
only to the district, this decision

cases being unanimous.
Directors, after the formalities of
election were over, unanimously
voted that a committee composed
of Charles E. SoneS, Warren Cur
rier and M. o. Simms, should in
dite letter to the Brawley Cham
ber of Commerce, expressing regret
of the Ell Centre chamber that the
Brawley high school team is pre-
sently out of the football league,
and pledging the support of the Ell
Centro organization in efforts to
secure reinstatement of the BraW-
ley team.
Oppose Assembly Bill
Chamber directors opposed the
passage of Assembly Bill 1879 which
if adopted would prevent the col
lection by municipalities of tax
or license on outside wholesalers
doing business within the city. The
directors also adopted a resolution
requesting the League of Municipal
tiles for Imperial county to study
the matter of legislation relating to
house to house canvasserS, with
view to the adoption by Imperial
Valley cities of uniform ordinances,
preventing outside peddlers from
operating within these cities.
On motion of Director Tyler, the
beard voted to join in the invita-
ton of the board of supervisors and
other county organizations, in bid
ding President Franklin D. Roose-
velt to visit Imperial Valley, and
in the event of his acceptance, to
assist in entertaining the President.
Before adjourning, members OF
the board adopted a unanimous
resolution, acknowledging and COM
mending the outstanding services
of the retiring president w. H.
Tyler, Jr., during his two active
terms of office.

ARMY OFFICER
CONVICTED Of
|RREGULAR|TY
Colonel Williams Found Guilty
Of Accepting Loan From Firm
Seeking Contract

WASHINGTON, May %. W.R =
Col. Alexander E. Williams of the
army quartermaster corps was
found guilty on two counts by a
court martial today and sentenced
to be dismissed from the service.
The officer was found to have
solicited and obtained a loan of
$4,000 from the representative of
an automobile tube concern, which
was seeking war department con-
tracts in November, 1888.
Williams at that time was a brig
adler general in charge of the
transportation division of the quar-
termaster generals office, and the
tire tube representative was trying
to interest him in the product.
Williams was acquitted on a
charge of receiving another sum of
$4,000.
He was found guilty, however, of
giving false testimony before a
house military affairs sub-commit-
tee which investigated army con-
tracts. Williams had denied to the
committee that he received the
loan.
Results of the court martial were
announced officially by the war
department after a three day trial
which was conducted with great
secrecy.
The court martials sentence of
dismissal was coupled with a un-
animous recommendation of Gle
mency ION account of the long and
faithful service of Col Williams"
the department announced.
The findings of the military
court now must be reviewed by the
judge advocate general of the army
and a board of review composed of
three officers Their recommenda-
tionS in turn will be transmitted to
Secretary George H. Dern, who will
pass them on to the President.
The verdict and sentence do not
become effective unless approved by
the President.

Chamber of commerce directors
met last night and elected DR.. Sem
Bacon president of the chamber.
DR.. Bacon has been a director con-
tinuously for more than 10 years
and by his devotion to Ell Centro
and the manifestation of a fine
civic and communal spirit his col
leagues believed him entitled to the
office in which he will be the lead

ganization for the ensuing year.
The vote for DR.. Bacon was unan-
imous. He succeeds w. H. Tyler,

terms as president, both years a
record of accomplishment.

ident Roosevelt began leading us
out of the depression successfully
by his monetary policies until his
unfortunate admixture of a policy
of wealth destruction"
And now," he added, thanks to
the preponderance of the monetary
policies We are recovering at last,
the fundamental reason being the
restoration of the credit currency.
Nothing is now in sight which
is likely to again set back this re-
storation of our circulating me-
dunn"
There are two main theories" 4"
Prof. Fisher continued, "of the de-
preston: Too little money and too
much goods-So-called 'over-pro-
duction.' If the latter theory were
correct, policy of wealth destruc-
ton would be justified. But it is
not correct.
Our trouble is not too much
goods but too little money to buy
them with. Merely to increase
prices will not help us. The price
increase must be by making more
money"

preme court.
The four schools named above
have not exceeded their total bud
get increase by more than five per
cent, but they have exceeded their
district budget by more than five
per cent. The district tax, ex-
plains Superintendent Collins. has
always been a safety valve. so that
districts could tax themselves if
they wished for needed expenditures
II state and county funds did not
meet their need. If a district need
ed a new bus, the expense could be
met through the district funds.
Furthermore there are a number of
schools which have no district tax
eS at all at present and a five per
cent budget increase of nothing will
be somewhat difficult to achieve.
The four schools are preparing
petitions which will be sent to the
state board of equalization at once.
