LOS ANGELES, Sept 30 (Specian
Imperial county government in

its taxpayers in county taxes by
$139, 1903 or 24.6 per cent over the
amount levied last year, according
TO a study of 46 California counties

payers association. In other words.
where the county government levied
taxes to raise $565,474 in l934-35, il
will levy taxes to raise $7O4,777 for
1886. The association found that
the assessed value Of the county
was increased by $6,000,000 because
OF equalization and the return OF
the property of the utilities to the
local rolls. The county tax rate
was decreased l cent going from
S1.57 inside and $159 outside in
l934-35 to $1.56 inside and $1.58 out

Only three of the as counties

Sutter, showed actual reductions in
their tax demands, the association
pointed out. The city and county

The bird bath was a large concrete
basin, like the saucer Of tea cup.

TWO PICTURES

One of the coast papers published two
pictures on Saturday, which presented
a decided contrast in this funny old
world of ours.
In one a happy couple were shown,
celebrating their saith wedding annivers-
airy. Fifty-four years ago they married
in q small mid-WeStern town and for
over half a century walked hand in hand
along life's pathway, raising family,
accumulating a little property and con-
Quoting themselves so as to be an asset
to their country and an inspiration to all
fortunate enough to know them Even
their picture was an inspiration.
The other picture was not so nice. 1t

to her sweetheart" in the jail at Los
Angeles, vowing, in front of the cameras,
that "She would love Lee forever

ner, took the lives of his uncle and aunt
who had brought him up from childhood.
Accompanying the picture was the girls

romance with this altogether wretched
individual in which she told of going to
shows and dances with him, between the

relied because he stepped on her feet
while they were dancing. They made it
up though, and she still will stick by
him through thick and thin
1t is pity she wasn't dancing with an
elephant and that he didn't step on her
neck instead of her feet. Heaven be praised
this silly little nit-wit is not real ex-
ample of womanhod, but the exception
who proves the rule. AS for the thing
she loves, it is to be fervently hoped that
something happens to his neck in the
not far distant future.

VEIL, WHO CARES?

The big dam on the Colorado-call it
Hoover or Boulder as you will-was
dedicated today by the President of the
United States.
So far as any advance copy of the
days program shows, the community
apd the individuals most responsible for
the dam, have been left entirely out of
the picture.
Imperial Valley is the community and
the individuals ignored are too numer-
Gus to mention.
The long battle for the dam originated
and was carried through by Imperial
Valley ranchers and businessmen. That
is a statement none can dispute.
Many individuals may Justly lay claim
to originating the idea of dam or being
of active assistance in pushing the bat
tie for it, but again few will dispute the
statement that the two individuals most
responsible for today's program are Sem
ator Hiram w. Johnson, and Phil d.
Swing, former congressman from this
district. Many others were of active as
sistance to them but these two men car
ried on the battle in congress which made
the dam possible. Neither, so far as can
be learned, was at or was invited to, the
dedication today.
Imperial Valley is represented by nu-
merous leaders but they will be just
among those present. without any act
i've part in the program.
Pre-dedication accounts must be anus
ing to Imperial Valley residents. Read Los
Angeles Times, and you learn that that
publication was practically the first to
advocate a dam and fought hard to get
it. Read the Hearst papers and you
know that none but William Randolph
and his cohorts put over the deal.
To mention Imperial Valley residents
who backed up Swing and Johnson and
fought through with them, would be in
viting disaster, for so many names would
have to be mentioned some certainly de-
serving of credit would be overlooked.
The records do show, however, that in
1919, the present Judge R. D. McPher-
rim. then director of the irrigation dis
trict, offered the resolution to submit to
the people of Imperial Valley, for their
approval a petition to congress to in
clude all Imperial Valley lands in a un-
flied Colorado river project for (a) stor-
age of water on the upper Colorado for
irrigation and power Development; (b)
connection with Laguna dam for an ALL
American canal; (c) provision for the
permanent control of flood menace on
the lower river.
The people of Imperial Valley at an
election. gave endorsement to this res
olution and from that all subsequent leg
istion for the dam and canal originated.
Imperial Valley residents may feel
sighted that this community was not
given a more prominent part on today's
program, but they need not be. They
have seen the accomplishment of their
long fight and the greatest satisfaction
comes not from the cheers and hurrah-
ing of the world but from the inner sat-
isfaction of hard fought battle crown
ed with success.
The dispute over the proper name for
the dam can go on indefinitely and
probably will; others may seize the hon
