Frisch, not the defendants, facili-

Taafe declared.
AS operators of gambling houses,

them, drank with them-as well as
with reputable persons.
Such relationship, Taafe added.

PRESS ENDORSES BRATTON

In supporting Charles A Bratton for
office of assessor-collector of the Imper-
ial Irrigation District at the election on
next Wednesday, The Press does so sole
ly in the belief that he is exceptionally
well qualified to give the taxpayers of
the district an efficient, economical and
businesslike administration.
Mr. Bratton is young man who has
lived in Imperial Valley for the past nine
years, during which he has taken an
active part in public affairs, serving for
several years in the office of the city
clerk of Ell Centre as assessor, and sue
ceeding to the office of city clerk on the
death of the late John c. Neale.
He is a taxpayer in FL Centre and is
an experienced accountant, and is famil-
lar by experience with assessment work
in Imperial Valley.
His platform, on which he appeals to
the voters, pledges the elimination of pol
itics and nepotisnl, of the employment of
relatives and close friends, from the
office Of assessor-collector, and the con-
duct of the affairs of the office strictly
upon a business basis with the object of
maintaining its maximum efficiency at a
minimum cost to the taxpayer.
Mr.. Bratton is not the candidate of any
particular group clique or faction and if
elected will be subject only to the dictates
of the taxpayers of the district.
He is pledged to work in harmony with
the members of the board of directors of
the district for the best interests of the
district and the taxpayers.
Mr.. Bratton possesses the initiative
and energy required by the duties of the
office and has promised to spend consid-
cradle time in the field, so that he may
have first hand knowledge of the tax
problems of the individual taxpayers in
an effort to help in their solution.
His reputation is of the highest and his
honesty and integrity are unchallenged.
He is in full sympathy with the plans for
developing All-American canal power as
outlined by the board of directors and
has been consistent supporter of the
Colorado river development program
since first coming to the valley.
In asking support for him at the polls
The Press does so confident that he will
make an ideal assessor-collector if elect

DIVIDES
BONUS RANKS
Method Of Payment Sets
Groups Supporting Plan In
Two Different Camps.
BY EDWARD w. LEWIS
limited Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Jan. 81. The
fight over payment of the soldiers
bonus broke out in the house today
as administration leaders planned a
flank movement to prevent it's pas
sage.
Differences of opinion as to how
the $2,015,000,000 measure should
be financed precipitated sharp
clash between two groups in the
house, although no bonus bill has
been officially brought to the floor.
Administration strategy to de-
feat the bonus when it does come
up was being worked out with the
pending $4,880, 100000 work relief
bill as the lace in the hole" the
United Press learned.
The money would not be used for
even partial payment of the bo-
nus, but part of it could go toward
furnishing jobs for needy veterans,
those planning the strategy said.
The most authoritative political
opinion, now is that the bonus con-
troversy will develop about as fol-
lows:
The house bill will pass either the
Patman bill, providing for full pay
ment through issuance of treasury
notes, or the Vinson bill, backed by
the American Legion, providing full
payment through an appropriation.
Senate viii Approve
The senate can be expected to
pass the bill also. -.
President Roosevelt will veto it.
The house will override the veto.
AS the senate nears a vote on the
veto a compromise will be put for
! wards bearing the administrations
promise to care for needy veterans
through jobs in the new public
works program.
With such an assurance admins
tration leaders believe they can sus-
tain the Presidents veto in the SEN
ate. ....
Administration leaders arguing
against offer of the compromise
prior to the senate veto vote believe
it would be more effective to have
veto sustained. This, they say,
would close the bonus agitation
while allowing congressman, many
with campaign commitments, to get
in the record at least once with a
vote for the bonus.

mentous day in the history of Imperial
Valley.
1t will mark the beginning of water
storage behind Boulder dam, and in so
doing also mark the end of drought
and flood menace to Imperial Valley.
Only a few months ago we were given
a final taste of what drought means to
this community. 1t is still too recent to
need any further comment. Likewise,
many living here can recall times when
1t was necessary to rush men and mater
ialS to the protective works in Mexico to
strengthen levees threatened by the roar
ing torrent of the Colorado.
Tomorrow such things become as ex-
tinct as the dodo. From now on only
such water as is necessary to provide for
the needs of the lower section of the riv-
er will come down from the point where
the dam has been placed
In addition to stopping drought and
Hood, tomorrow also marks the begin
ming of the elimination of silt from I'M
perial Valleys irrigation supply. The
day is coming when there will be no more
high banks piled along our highways, no
need for expensive dredging of canals
and bitches.
Boulder dam insofar as flood control
and water storage are concerned, is at
last reality and not dream of the fu-
ture. Again, as has been so often re-
marked in this column, it hardly seems
possible. On the contrary, it still seems
as though Imperial Valley should be bat
ting through, the halls of congress for
dam in the Colorado river.
1t is just as we'll that there is no cee-
bration planned for tomorrow The best
sort of celebration is that which we will
have-staying on the job and attending
to business.
Even so, we can and should rejoice that
large portion of our worries have been
lifted from our shoulders. The benefits
of water storage will not be felt over
night, but at least we can sense the Sc
curity which we now know is ours.
