BUSINESS HAS ITS OPPORTUNITY.

The breathing spell" of which the President spoke when Congress concluded is now underway and the Chief Executive is taking advantage Of 1t himself, by vacation trip to the Pacific Coast. Business, which made such stir about legislation hampering commercial activity, now has its oppor- unity go ahead with all the impetus it can gather without worrying about Congress. And there appears to be plenty it do to put itself in better shape as well as aiding general welfare of the country
 Aubrey Williams one of Harry Hopkins chief associates, calls attention to an item business and industry generally might well include in it's pro- gram not only for the security of it's own future but tle immediate welfare of the country as whole The business gain Williams says is definite, but there hasn't been the necessary spread Of this gain to the workers He declares flaty that if business it not willing to adopt deliberate policy of sharing increased business with the workers there is an mpasse so far employment is concerned.
 That has been exacsiy tie situation since Presi- dent Roosevelt first inaugurated his program. Uni versal cooperation the part of business to aid in recovery has been lacking In blunt words too many business executives have sat on the sidelines and howled calamity instead of doing their share in attempting to rehabilitate the nation and its people IL is shortsighted vision, for unless what we term as recovery can come to the vast majority of the people business itself may have to fold up under conditions much than anything pictured by the critics of the New Deal.
 The cry of those attacking Sse Roosevelt policy is that the country will be bankrupt feeding the unemployed but it leaves unanswered the query of what private industry is doing about furnishing employment True increased efficiency has resulted in cutting down man power in industry, but never theless the power is still available and some where a place must be found for it if the whole nation is to prosper.

Filipinos Balk At
AirUays Franchise

MANILA, p. l., July IT. U.P)-
Plans for the granting by the Phil
lippine legislature to Pan Ameri-
can Airways of a franchise for a
landing base and mail contracts
have hit q snag. To-day it seems
unlikely that the bill sponsored by
President Quezon and virtually all
of the Philippine leaders would
pass the legislature before its ad-
journment on Friday.
Rumors that certain members
of the Philippine legislature had
attempted hold-up tactics caused
Quezon to order the bill oft the
list of must" legislation. The
president of the senate said that
while he believed the rumors with
out foundation and that he was
perfectly satisfied with the conduct
of the Pan-AmeIican representa-
tives, he regarded the air link be-
tween the islands and the United
States of such Importance that he
would not risk having even a sus-
picion attached to the passage of
the bill.

IN NTEREST IN
SALTON SEA
BOAT RACING

The FL Centro Chamber of Com
merce has received a communica-
ton from Mrs. Bertha Tarwater,
secretary of the Southern Califor-
MIA Outboard association. about
the progress on the road to Sandy
Beach on Salton Sea, with a view
upon completion of the road, to
holding officiai cupboard motor
boat races at this point.
Manager Robert Hays Of the
Chamber of Commerce has had
considerable correspondence with
Guy NeWhard, commodore of the
Southern California association.
Newhard is connected with the
RKO studios in Hollywood, and has
many friends in Imperial Valley,
is married to an Ell Centro girl, be-
ing the brother-in-law of Roy Kirk
patrick, star hurdler He has done
much to promote outboard motor
boating in Southern California and
in his correspondence with Mana
ger Hays has stated they are very
anxious to see the Sandy Beach
road completed and an official
racing course established there, so
that the Southern California Out
board association can put on motor
boat races at this point.
There is probably no sporting
event." said Manager Hays of the
chamber of commerce, that could
SO thoroughly advertise Imperial
Valley as would outboard motor
boat racing at Salton Sea. The wa
ter, of course, is exceptionally
heavy and therefore boats make
more speed. In addition, the in
ternal combustion motor at 246 feet
below sea level develops exception
ally great efficiency. This COM
bination is such that world records
are being eternally smashed on
Salton Sea.
when the Sandy Beach road is
finished which SERA officials say
will be in about two months, the
community should do everything
possible to promote outboard motor
boat racing at this point. Fortu-
nately, the cost is nominal. It is
only a matter of promotion and
publicity, and with a little effort
along these lines, we can obtain a
lot of prominence for Imperial
Valley"

REVERSAL ON
DECISION IN
FORMER TRIAL
Federal Circuit Court OF Appeal
Says That Government Cannot
Regulate Production
TO CARRY FIGHT HIGHER
Case Expected To Be Taken To
The Supreme Court For Final
Decision By Christmas
TO CARRY FIGHT HIGHER

BOSTON, July 16. U.P)-The con-
troversial AAA processing tax Is
unconstitutional, the u. s. circuit
court of appeals ruled today.
In so deciding, the circuit court
overruled Federal District Judge
Elisha H. Brewsttr, who last Octobtr
upheld the validity of the tax.
The ruling was made in the case
of the Hoosac Mills corporation
which challenged the right of the
federal government to collect pro-
cessing and flour taxes of approx
imately $4,000.
This case, before the circuit court
since April "a, is regarded as the
test that will establish definitely
whether the processing tax is con-
Stitutional.
1t was understood that govern
ment attorneys are prepared to
carry it to the U. S. supreme court,
hoping for a final decision there
before Christmas. -
The circuit courts decision was
by a two to one vote, with Judges
Scott Wilson and George F. Norris
concurring, and Judge George H.
Bingham dissenting. Judge Bing-
ham wrote no dissenting opinion,
however.
"T'he decree of the district court
is reversed and the case Is re-
manded to that court with the di-
rection to enter a decree for the
appellants" the decision read.
Two reasons for the decision were
cited:
1. The federal legislature has no
authority to regulate production
which was within control of the
state authorities.
2. 1t was an improper delegation
of powers:
No Ruling on Tax
The circuit court found it un-
necessary to decide whether 1t was
a direct or excise tax, since it al
ready had found the tax unconsti-
tutional.
1t also found it unnecessary to
decide whether, if it were an excise
tax, 1t was not uniformly imposed.
The Hoosac Mills appeal from
Judge Brewster's October ruling
was argued before the circuit court
in April with Attorney Charles P.
Rugg, Jr, presenting arguments for
the corporation and Attorney Rob-
ert N. Anderson of the AAA legal
staff for the government.
Rugg argued that congress alone
had the right to determine what,
when and how much shall be taxed
and had no right to delegate the
taxing power to the judicial or ex-
ecutive branches of the government.
The AAA, he said, leaves all dis
cretion to the secretary of agricul-
ture. Congress may delegate only
ministerial powers, Rugg said, and
under the AAA it was illegally dele
gated the right to tax.
Anderson argued that the pro-
cessing tax was valid exercise of
the right of congress to lay an ex-
else tax. In reality, he said, it was
an excise on the right to manu-
facture or process a basic agricul-
tural commodity. He recalled the

Body OF Detroit
Man DISCOVERED
At Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, July 16. U.R)--
How Rufus Caulkins, 80, of Detroit,
came to his death in a 1OO-fooU
plunge over a cliff puzzled police
here today.
The body was found crushed at
the base of the bluff, 80 feet below
the wreckage of an automobile
which was caught on a narrow
ledge.
Dropping abruptly, the cliff lies
at the end of a little used dirt road
near Loyola university. A girl rid
ing horseback discovered the body
yesterday. Police said Caulkins had
apparently been dead for two or
three days.
Investigation showed that Caul-
kinS had sought employment as a
film actor at the RKO studios re-
Gently, but had been rejected after
a screen test, it was said.
Officers were unable to determine
whether his death was accidental
The car apparently plunged over
the cliff and halted at the edge
Caulkins being thrown out to roll
the rest of the way.
