GOVERNOR MERRIAM
SPEAKS WORDS OF TRUTH

While capitol halls at Sacramento echo
to political speculatonS and partisan
wonderings, Imperial Valley knows that
Gov. Frank F. Merriam spoke truth when
he said of Ray L. Edgar that he is "a
man of fine integrity and equally fine
ability" who will be a great asset to
the board (of equalization) and an honest
and competent representative of his
equalization district
The governor evidently knows the man
of whom he is speaking, for he contin-
ues, "As realtor and leader in the pub
lie improvement activities of his area,
he has played an important part in the
development of the water resources of
Imperial Valley"
Politicians may continue to speculate
and wonder, but his friends in Imperial
Valley know that Mr. Edgar, on the state
board of equalization, will discharge his
duties in what he believes to be the
best interest of the public. Southern
California could have no finer represent
ative on the board of equalization. The
public interest has been his first consid-
GRAFTON, always. Politics are relegated
in his activities to very minor position.
The state board of equalization, for
many months, has been thing of bicker-
ing and strife. Reorganization has

of it a weapon to be used as they saw
fit. 1t is to the good of the board and
the state of California that Mr.. Edgar
becomes a member. His influence may
be counted upon to bring common
sense, business touch to the adminstra-
tion of board affairs.
Just as Mr. Edgar has ranked always
as a leader in the community life of I'M
perial Valley, it is to be expected that he
will become leader on the state board
of equalization. Gov Merriam is to be
congratulated on his choice.

A STUDY IN POWERS
BEHIND THE LEAGUE

1t would be interesting if the League
of Nations turned down the proposal
generated by France and Great Britain
for negotiations with Italy and Premier
Benito Mussolini The league probably
will not turn down the propositions, be-
cause European diplomacy still recog-
nizes the strength of the major powers.
But, if the proposal were rejected,
where would the League of Nations be?
The small nations of the league al
ready have won victory by forcing de-
bate when the full league council con-
venes, rather than in committee of five
composed of Great Britain, France,
Spain, Poland and Turkey. In the COM
mittee, Spain's support would be virtual
ly assured, which would place the league
on record favoring the Franco-British
proposal, even though most of the
leagues members never had voice in
preparing 1T.
Before the full council, the small ma
tions can be counted upon to oppose the
proposal whereby Mussolini, as the price
of peace, would be given a large slice of
Ethiopia. If their opposition results in
a vote against the plan, France and
Great Britain will find themselves faced
with new problem. They, who have
used the league as cloak for their own
diplomatic maneuvers all along, and
have repeatedly voiced their allegiance to
the league, will find that they must go
outside the league or abandon their
plans. 1t does not seem likely that eth
er France or Great Britain would be
willing to quit the proposal.
1t is most probable that the major pow
ers will exert influence to keep the
league members in line, but if this is not
successful, the outcome will be an inter-
esting one.

PROSPERITY ROLLS IN
ON RUBBER TIRES

individual merchants and tradesmen
know that business is better. They see
the trend reflected in their stores and
shops. Now and then survey is made,
and the figures show a decided uptrend
but the surveys are sometimes incon-
elusive and the opinions are individual
ones. The fault is large in that the
trends indicated are confined within
strict limits. Seldom is there a group of
figures that shows beyond any reason
able doubt how nearly the return of
prosperity touches every individual
Such group is that quoted in Motor
Recorder, automotive trade daily.
New passenger car registrations in
California during November, 1885,
reached the highest total for the month
of November since 1925. Further. the
new car registrations, 1906 of them,
represented gain of 63.5 per cent over
October this year, and gain of 1923
per cent over November of last year. This
is the largest gain thus far recorded
this year over the corresponding month
of last year. Incidentally, it is the first
time since 1929 that the total for the cor
responding month of 1929 has been eX-
ceeded.
Prosperity is rolling back to Califor-
MIA on rubber tires California for the
the highest figure for any 11-month per-
iod since 1929. 1t is safe prediction
that this year will exceed any other year
since 1929
In the IL southern counties of Califor-
MIA, 99,742 new passenger cars were reg
istered in the first II months, gain of
60.9 per cent over last year. In this
group, Imperial county showed gain of
AL per cent, with 1889 new passenger
cars registered.
The new passenger car registrations
represent money spent by Californlans
for business and pleasure. New CONNER
cial car registrations disclose even more
plainly, if possible, the decided upward
trend. New commercial cars registered
in the state last month totaled 2345, a
gain of AZ per cent over October and a
gain of 48.1 per cent over November of
last year. The commercial cars are used
only for business. If additional CONNER
cial machines are in demand-and they
are-then business must warrant the in
crease
Automobile manufacturers always
have been among the first to lead toward
new prosperity. Their product is such
that it reflects to great extent the true
buying power and mental condition OF
the nation as a whole From their re-

reasonably large area can be judged
fairly. Where there is no money to be
spent, no new cars are purchased.
When it is question between food and
automobiles, the consumer will choose
food Therefore, it is reasonable to be-
lieve that the sharp increase in automo-
bile purchases indicates better than any
thing else return of confidence IN the
future, as well as a decided increase In
current purchasing power.
There are more new automobiles on the
highways now than at any time since
1929, generally considered the peak year.
This means that there are more people
able to buy new automobiles.
The calamity howlers and political
pessimists may twist figures to their
hearts content, but they cannot make
anything out of these figures but re-
turn of prosperity.

When East held on to his K of
spades, dummy's Z of hearts was
played at the eleventh trick. East's
9 fell-the second highest card of
the suit, but whether that player
had false carded and still held the
g, or had the bare @, declarer could
not tell. In any event he took no
chances. When dummy's last heart
was led North played the Ace, to
make certain of game. East's @
fell, making the j good for the
tenth offensive trick. Had declarer
won the first club trick he never
would have gone game.
