CEN. CONDYLIS'
GREEK
REGENT DEAD
He Lead in Restoration of
King George Late
Last Year
DEATH LAID TO WORK
DURING CAMPAIGN

ATHENS, Jan. 31.-UPy-
General George CondyliS, regent
before the recent return of King
George and one of the country's
foremost statesmen-soldiers, died
suddenly today of heart disease.
His death was attributed to ex-
hauStion from his election work
which took him throughout the
country, while he was coughing
continually from chronic asthma.
After defeating by quick, stern
action the Venizelist republican
revolt of last March, when he left
his war ministry to lead his men
at the front, Condylis sponsored
the restoration of King George.
On October 10 he took the
leadership of government as re-
gent, premier and finance minis
ter, to hold the place until King
George returned.
When the king returned soon
afterward after a national plebis-
cite, he at once began a strong
forgive-and-forget policy. He
not only freed many VenizelistS
held in prison, but restored them
and others to offices which they
had lost because they fought the
restoration of the monarchy. Con-
dylis and other royalists bitterly
opposed the kings action.
Condylis had been a fighter
since his boyhood and none ever
called him a self seeker. He usu-
ally went into office when there
was a crisis, promising that he
would get out when the crisis was
ended. He always did.
Condylis was born in 1879 and
was educated at the Athens war
college. At II he was an officer
in the Cretan revolt. He aided
Eleutherios Venizelos in over
throwing King Constantine dur
ing the World war, and putting
Greece on the Allied side; he had
overthrown more than one gov
ernment that he considered over

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. (UP)
Moving swiftly to combat new
drives for initiation and a nation
al lottery, President Roosevelt
yesterday conferred lengthily
with monetary advisers on a new
general tax bill to finance all or
part of the $3,000,00O,0O0 farm
program and soldier bonus expen-
ditures.
The chief executive summoned
his, fiscal experts to the White
House when it became apparent
that congressional leaders would
not take the initiative in levying
new taxes, on the eve of an cleo
ton, to pay the S2,237,000,000
soldier bonus which congress
passed over his veto.
Mr.. Roosevelt wrote Speaker
Joseph W. Byrns Wednesday
night that it was up to Capitol
hill to provide this money.

Mississippians 10
Spend B Millions
On States Roads

JACKSON, Miss, Jan.31. tUP)
mississippi is out of the mud at
last, State Senator Albert Pake
said yesterday as Gov. Hugh White
signed the Stansel bill, providing
$43,OOO,OOO worth of paving with
ing "a months.
A complete system of good
roads is provided replacing Miss
issippi's mud and gravel that have
been a bane to travellers since the
horse and buggy days.
The lawmakers were amazed at
their own achievement-complete
enactment of the paving program
two weeks after the bills were in
troduced. Not in II years had the
legislature been in such accord on
any one subject. Never in history
could it subordinate local paving
needs and desires enough to build
a through paved highway.
Both houses voted unanimously
for the Stansel bill, which author
lied and financed the program.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. (UP)
There will have to be a tax bill
this session of congress.
The president is said to decline
comment on the amount of tho
tax bill he will recommend, point
ing out that the situation is still
under study. He made it clear
that obviously, if the farm bill
passes, it will have to he pail
from substitute taxes.
However, he explained, substi-
tute taxes replacing those out
lawed by the courts and repealed
by congress do not necessarily
constitute new taxes. He emrhs-
sized that the whole tax question
still is in a study stage. Talkin%
about the suggestion to pay the
bonus from unexpended allocate
relief funds, the president observ
ed that such a procedure would

AGAIN THE STORM
DRAIN QUESTION

Once more, the question whether
El Centre wants a storm drain is to be
presented to the public This is being
done in the belief that the ajority of
voters and taxpayers desire the improve
ment despite the defeat of the proposal
when recently voted upon.
The Chamber of Commerce is openly
and strongly in favor of the proposal.
So is this newspaper.
Others, just as sincerely, are against it.
Difference of opinion is natural. 1t Is
the logic used, the reasoning which has
been broadcast against the proposal, that
we feel is seriously at fault.
Firstly, it is illogical to condemn the
Chamber of Commerce because the
Chamber champions the storm drain.
Secondly, it is illogical to reason that
the annual funds which go to the Cham
Der could best go to feed the poor.
1t is through this kind of rationale
ing that radicals conclude that the profit
systems should be overthrown because
people can live off of rentals drawn
from real estate investments. 1t is just
as fallacious to declare that no farmer
should buy water to irrigate his crops
but should give water-money to charity
to feed the poor.
The purpose of the storm drain, as
we'll as the purpose of the Chamber of
Commerce, is to bring increased employ
ment, improvement, and prosperity to
this city. The expense is an investment
in growth, Just as important as the orig
inal purchase price of property, farm
land, machinery, or equipment.
The owner of real estate invests in
modernization to protect his investment
and hold his tenants The manufacturer
invests in new equipment to increase
production and maintain his position in
the competitive markets. Municipal
communities invest in improvements to
stimulate growth, and create greater op-
portunity for employment through in
creased population, commerce, and pub
lie buying power.
The Chamber of Commerce is entire
ly composed of taxpayers. On tavorlng
the cause of the storm drain, it repre-

WASHINGTON.-Gossip as to the 1910 pres
idential aspirations of RFC Chairman Jesse
Jones has bloSSomed anew among insiders VINO
know how the tall, white-haired Texan recently
tried tC maneuver control OF PWA away from
Secretary Harold IckeS
1t was about that time that IckeS threatened
to resign And Jesse didn't get what he was
after even though he had the support of Harry
Hopkins of PWA, whose feud with IckeS is now
more bitter than ever.
Under congressional pressure Roosevelt came
around to the idea of using a PWA revolving
fund for PWA grants in a continuation of the
loan-grant system which would use RFC money
for PWA loans.
Jones vigorously sought the power to handle
the PWA leans. which would have meant con-
troll over the grants and would have left IckeS
somewhere in the position of an office boy.
Even more astonishingly, the RFC chairman
proposed that he be empowered to make loans to
municipalities for any and all purposes. That
would have made him the banker for city poll
ticians all over the country and, although he
already is known as the worlds biggest banker
would have added enormously to his power.
Picking up s25OOOOOOO for PwA was
sleight of hand job, the implications OF which
the administration doesn't care to stress. 1t
either repudiates the presidents promise that
there would be no new expenditures beyond
those called fer in the budget without new
taxation TO cover them-or it doesn't, according
to the way YOU look at it.
No new appropriation was required. Ickes
will merely be spending money which otherwise
would have been recoverable" and sooner or
later have been paid back into the treasury
Thus it doesn't do the deficits or the national
debt any good-not by S250000,000.
But it's worth pointing out that under the
most favorable circumstances, the sum may
mean up to billion dollars in public works
IckeS has said that only about half the reci-
pients OF PWA grants now require loans from
PWA funds the others being able to get them
under as favorable terms on the market
There's an increasing disposition to ques-
tion the accuracy of WPA statistics, although
it would be difficult for any agency to check
them.
Ickes and his friends are sorer than ever
at Hopkins. because they believe the facts as
to the relative employment potentialitieS of
WPA and PWA were misrepresented to the
president.

ALIEN WORKER PROBLEM MUST BI
SOLVED BY NATION
iHanford SeutineD

The measure proposed by Congressman Hen
ry Stubbs to prevent the employment OF aliens
on private and public jobs is deserving OF care
full delberation if not of actual adoption into
law. 1t is well known fact that the nations
unemployment problem can never be solved
entirely and satisfactorily until some such ma
tonal enactment is made effective.
1t is said that the aliens who are illegally
residents of the United States number in the
mlons-between three and five millions, in
fact. One does not know how or when the fig
ures were acquired Or how reliable they may be.
But it may be assumed in reason that there are
at least one million such Illegal residents.
Each individual one is that number too many.
The StubbS bill is provided with teeth. II
would declare that the alien here illegally is a
menace to the military defense Of the United
States. That puts them all in the public enemy
class and means that the employer of labor must
bear the burden of determining the citizenship
qualifications of his employees or find himself
in conflict with the time -honored law which pro-
hihits private citizen from harborng national
foe.
Nearly all major powers have their unem-
ployment problems. 1t is neither fair nor Just
Tor any one of them to thrust any portion of
their load upon this or any other nation.
Every alien who gets job deprlveS citizen
of his chance for employment It is high time
the nation take cognizance of that fact and steps
to correct the evil Present laws, properly en-
forced, should prove adequate to meet the prob
lem They have not done SO thus far. Obviously
a nation wide drive to clear the country OF
illegal residents is in order whether or not the
