BRATTON FOR EFFICIENCY

Considerable encouragement has come
TO Charles A. Bratton, candidate for as
sessor-collector of the Imperial lrriga-
tion District at the election on Wednes-
day, from persons who have expressed
satisfaction with his statement that he
plans, if elected, to do as much as possi-
bic of the assessment survey work IN the
field instead of leaving the bulk of that
work in the hands of a deputy.
The field work of the assessor-collect-
OF s office is without doubt one of its
most important functions. Subordinates
NAV well attend to the book work re-
quired in the office but the field work
should be given more attention by the as
sessor-eollector than has aSSertedly been
the case.
Bratton has pledged in his prediction
statement to visit ranches himself, II
elected, to obtain first-hand the informa-
ton necessary to make an equitable as
sessment. Neither he nor anyone else is
foolish enough to believe that he can go
out and assess all property in the dis
trict, but there are cases arising in which
property owners claim a lower assess
ment than the one levied is justifiable.
Certainly adjustment of such claims
should be made by the person to whom
the operation of the assessor-collector's
office has been entrusted, rather than to
a subordinate.
Considerable dissatisfaction has also
been expressed with the number of clerks
maintained in the assessor-collectors
office. There is widespread belief that
the number can be reduced without in the
least impairing the efficiency of the
office and at the same time saving money
to the taxpayers.
Bratton is one who holds this idea,
based on his personal experience in the
assessors office of the city of Ell Centro.
He is making campaign based on eff
ficiency and economy, pledging himself
to conduct the affairs of the assessor
collectors office on businesslike basis,
with every effort being made to reduce
the expense of operating the office there
by benefiting the taxpayers.
A vote for him Wednesday is a vote for
progress in the affairs of the Imperial Ir-
rigation District as they pertain to the
assessor-collector's office.

THE GIANT BECOMES PIGMY

Some II or Is years ago, we had the
experience of swinging across the Color
ado on the overhead cable below Hanlon
Heading. Beneath us swirled and churn-
ed brown, muddy, stream, raging along
and trying to spread itself over as much
territory as it could.
Gangs of men labored on the leveeS,
trying to build them higher against the
raging torrent while trainloads of crush
ed rock were being pushed out from the
quarry to help keep the Colorado out of
Imperial Valley. Figures are forgotten
Just now, but at the time the flood was
compared to the big ones of 1905-06.
1t was quite sight to see the Colorado
at one stage of its worst and it was thrill
ing to watch the desperate battle being
waged by the men who sought to control
it.
Other times we saw the Colorado at the
other stage of its worst. Last summer,
for instance, we saw what was supposed
to be the Colorado river, from the Yuma
bridge. 1t looked like back country
creek. We knew water was being parcel
ed out here in the valley, that crops were
being destroyed and men and women in
danger of losing their all because the
Colorado was dry streak. 1t wasn't
thrilling to see it this time, but it was
depressing.
Last week floods and dry spells faded
into the past with the lowering of the
gate at Boulder dam. Reading of it is as
thrilling as watching the flooded Color
ado from the cable way. 1t is even more
thrilling because one realizes that mans
battle against the river is finished and
finished with victory.
No more will the river tear down its
course and threaten our security. No
more will it sulk in its bed and throw an
equal threat into our welfare. 1t has
been handcuffed, manacled and is wear
ing leg irons. The giant that for years
acted according to its own whims, has,
like Gulliver, been tied up and made do
cile by the pigmies it scorned. Rather,
their positions have been reyersed-the
pigmy is now giant and the giant has
become pigmy.
No section along its entire course has
greater reason for being thankful than
Imperial Valley. Let others make their
claims if they wish, regarding Boulder
dam. We know that it was conceived
here, that its battle was fought from here
and nothing others may do or say can
take that from us. Even if they do ap-
propriate the credit that is ours the dam
is in place and functioning. That, after
all, is the main thing and that satisfied
Imperial Valley.
Mr.. Roosevelt says SIS a month and
DIR. Townsend says 5000 month. 1t re-
mains to be seen what Mr.. and Mrs.
John Joseph Taxpayer have to say.

stated Warren Currier, general sales
manager of the I. Y. Hardware
company, so that the people of FL
Centro may know just what pro-
gram is the most popular in this
locality. We have had many re-
quests from our customers for an
opportunity to express their opinion
on a most favorite broadcast. The
popularity vote now is an answer to
that request Ballots will be
available at all I. v. Hardware
stores and the public is invited TO
come in and cast their votes.
""Fhere is no obligation or other
condition, it IS just a free expression
of popular approval. The ballots
also provide for foreign short-wave
program preference. Many radio
fans do not have the kind of radio
that permits reception of foreign
stations. Short-wave reception is
becoming more general, and this
type of program should also receive
attention." concluded Currier.

WIDE SEARCH
FOR BANDITS

RENO, New, Feb. A. U.P)-Alvin
Karpis and Harry Campbell, only
members of the nearly defunct Kar-
pis- Barker gang still at large, were
objects of a search by state Off
GERS and agents of the bureau of
investigation, department of justice,
that spread over the entire west
today.
E. P. Guinane, head of the Pa
cific coast division of the bureau of
investigation, directed the hunt for
the two desperadoes who shot their
way out of a police trap in Atlantic
City, N. j., two weeks ago yester-
day.
KarpiS and Campbell we're be-
lieved to have fled to the west,
where federal agents believe they
arranged hideouts in previous visits.
Nevada IS desolate wastelands and
the Sparsely settled Sierra Nevada
mountain region of California were
believed the most likely refugees Of
the notorious outlaws, and the hunt
is being concentrated in those two
sections, although all law enforce
ment agencies between here and
Sacramento, Calf, were on the
| alert.
1t was learned that Campbell was
seen in Reno a week ago and Kar-
pis was thought to have been with
him.
A machine gun found in the
Truckee river was sold by San
Francisco merchant, and was ship
ped to him from New York. A the
ory that the weapon was discarded
by the fugitives was abandoned.
Police and federal agents did not
believe such desperate criminals
| would throw away a machine gun.
They were armed with two machine
guns when they ,eluded Atlantic
| City officers.

The beans, after a little soaking,
were put in the pot with some mo-
lasses. A hole was dug though it
was hard work, for the ground was
frozen. The animal gentlemen
built a fire on the bottom of the
hole, put the bean pot in, piled
more fire on top and then sat down
to wait for the beans to bake.

They sat near it, feeling very warm

Stage Debate On
Bonus Measure

NEW YORK. Feb. 4. W.P - The
Patman soldier bonus bill was de-
Tended by its author and opposed
by the national commander of the
American Veterans association in a
radio debate last night.

adjusted service certificates would
not increase the government debt
or the tax burden. He argued that
by placing upward of $1,000, 900, 900
in circulation, recovery would be
stimulated.
Donald H. Hobart argued immed-
late payment Through printing of
Patman money" would jeopardize
recovery and tend toward initiation.

UNCLE WIGGILY's BEAN POT

Once upon a time when Nurse
Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy hurried back in
to her kitchen, after having been
out in the yard to sweep the
snow from the back steps, she saw
Uncle Wiggily with his head in her
pot and pan closet.

"Beans, before they are baked
