NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Borah has deeid-

If the latter Is nominated for the presidency
Something may happen to change Borah's

To help write the Republican platform
Hoover roped in Borah in 1928 by giving
him virtually a free hand with the platform.
Planks covering dry law enforcement, corrup-

were inserted the senator desired them.
The farm plank finally adopted incorper
ated enough o. Borahs ideas to cause him TO
support It on the convention floor. This one
plank prepared by Borah which wasn't accept
ed was the one condemning the Coolidge ad

But Borah now feels platform planks aren't
very nourishing. He became the chief COP.
campaign orator in 1923, but after four years
Of Hoover he was so disappointed that he took
no part in the 1882 fight
He now is said to regard Landon cam

paign.
He has no thought Of endorsing Roosevelt

Among other things, they achieve

the most well known of these pageants
are the Ramona Pageant the Festival

Each of these has come TO be known far

WHO PAYS?

Who pays the cost Of government-THE
TAX? II you say the consumer docs, then
I'll say you mistaken.
Upon what does every nations, states. coun-
tvs or communitys ability to maintain govern
ment, schools, business and living depend?
Imperial Valley in its desert isolation is
easily thought OF as little nation all unto
itself. It has but one resource-agriculture. Not
a dollar comes into the valley that has not been
derived from the sale of farm prCducts. There
fore. the money obtained from the sales OF its
farmers crops must pay all of the costs. O. gov
ernment, including pensions all the cost OF
schools all the cost Of business and its pensions;
and all the cost of living. In fact the money re-
ceiVed from the sales OF its farmers crops must
pay for everything in the valley that has cost
IF NOT HOW ELSE ARE THOSE COSTS PAID
AND BY WHOM?
Recently public official in the valley made
the statement that "ot its $4,000 inhabitants
10000 lived on the farms, 10000 in the cities.
If that is true. then 10000 men, women and
children farmers of the valley must raise the
crops that when sold will provide enough money
TO pay its share of the cost of Federal and State
governments and their debts; the cost of County,
Irrigation District. and its cities governments
and their debts; all Of the cost CT schools, busi-
ness and living, and all private debts Is there
one anywhere who is fool enough to think the
10000 men. women and children can do it?
WHEN THEY FAIL. WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
II the farmers Of the valley ceased to pro-
duce, it would be the end of government in the
valley. the END G schools the end OF business;
and its 10000 non-producing, taking city
dwellers would have to move to another COM
munity or starye They could not live neither
could government. schools, and business cen
