THE ROAD TO IMPERIAL DAM
is A BLACKEYE TO THIS COUNTY
The poor road to Imperial Danisite is
gaining a bad reputation for this
county,

Don't Go Up To Imperial Dam"
That would be poor kind of a sign
to post on Highway 80 Just east of Win
terhaven where the road to Laguna dam
has its beginning
But it would be a fair and consider
ate admonition, if the interests of valley
residents and visitors and construction
workers were to be sincerely considered.
The road is so rough, corrugated, rut-
ted and in ill-repair that trip over it
threatens to injure occupants of motor
cars and do unlimited damage to vehi-
cles.
Visitors, hearing of the All American
canal and desiring to see it, receive a
most inhospitable reception in attempt
ing to traverse this car-breaking route
of bumps, jars and jolts They leave
with bad name (probably bad names)
for Imperial Valley
Hundreds of engineers come to visit
the dam and desilting works. Other
hundreds of representatives Of national
and local business houses are forced, by
the nature of their trades, to pass over
this "rocky-Road to Dublin. Many fine

News Behind the News
Congress in Presidential Picture
Chief Executive Faces Troubles .
Control Lacking :.

WASHINGTON.-In addition to the fact that
any Republican elected to the presidency TINS
year would almost certainly face congress
Democratic in both houses, there IS also real
possibility that Roosevelt will be reelected along
with a Congress which could probably be de-
Scribed as anti-New Deal.
Although it won't be possible for Republicans
TO come anywhere near changing complexion
of the Senate. and Democrats are almost sure
to retain a sizable paper majority IN the House,
there will be more Republicans in Congress.
In concert with Democratic members VINO
consider much of the New Deal too radical, they
are likely to give ROOSEVELT he is reelected
much more opposition than he has had in the
past. Perhaps enough, in fact to styme the
president who recently asserted that social plo-
neering' was only in its infancy.
If you identify the New Deal as an ad-
yanced program of political and economic pro-
gressivism or hberaliSm-as 1t processes to be
some of the following factors will be OF profound
interest to both the Simon-pure New Dealers
who have glowing hopes o. new pioneering
in the next Roosevelt administration and the
conservative opposition which fears Roosevelt
will be reelected. but hopes the worst is over:
1-CongresS already is only Seml-controlled
by the administration. Only by terrific effort
and by narrow margins did Roosevelt jam
through his pet holding company bill last ses-
sion
Congress this year has thrown out the
White House-approved Passamaquoddy and Flor
ida ship canal projects-wthout a murmur from
RooSevelt-and is cunning up administration tax
plans.
2-The recession froqn overwhelming Demo-
cratic congressional majorities expected next
November probably will be in conservative
direction and conservatives now in Congress
doubtless will hold their own
3-Presidents invariably have more try
ing time with Congress in their second terms
when political futures are no longer so bound
up with that of the executive when new patron
age is scarce, and when the party begins to
speculate as to the presidents successor.
4-Powerful interests. notably the electric
power groups. even though they may despair of
beating Roosevelt, are now out to defeat indivi-
dual members who have fought hardest for some
of his more liberal measures-Such as the hold
ing company act.
5.-Two towers of progressive strength, more
New Dealish" than most Democrats will be
lost to the administration in the next Congress
with prospective retirement of Senator George
w. Norris of Nebraska and Senator Edward P.
CoStigan of Colorado.

(Tulare Advance Register)

Authorship of this little monograph is un-
known. but It remains classic of its kind
eternally worth consideration:
When the Creator mad made all the good
things, it seemed there was still some dirty
work to do, so He made the beasts and the
reptiles and the poisonous insects, and when
He had finished He still had some old scraps
left that were too bad to put into the rattle
snake, the hyena, the Scorpion and the skunk
so he put these together, covered the whole
with suspicion, wrapped it with jealousy, mark
KNOCKER.
This product fearful to contemplate
that He had to make something to counteract
it, so Ee took a sunbeam, put into it the heart
of a child, the brain of a man. wrapped it in
civic pride. covered it with brothery love- made
it believer in equality and justice, a worker
for and supporter of every good thing in the
community, and called it a BOOSTER.

money at home, and speeding up cont
pietiOH of the construction IcOrk.
o
The ruling granted construction COM
panies building the All American canal
permission to hire non-relief labor, when
relief workers of the proper skill and
training are not available, will prove a
many-sided boon to Imperial county.
As conditions have improved and re-
lief rolls accordingly dwindled in size,
the many big firms working on some
phase of the canal have found it more
and more difficult to find the right kind
of workmen. Accordingly, their costs
have gone up, and the speed of complet-
ing their contracts has materially slow
ed down.
As an example, one large firm hav-
ing contract to build the huge con-
crete syphons, a most eXacting task, re-
ported Monday that they would be mat
erially behind schedule because no men
could be found who were expert at
preparing the forms properly AS
result this firm said, it would be unable
TO get much work done before the hot
weather sets in, when no concrete work
can be done for four months. The new
ruling should permit them and others
to speed up their progress much to the
satisfaction of everyone in Imperial
Valley.
The major benefit will accrue to the
valleyites who need work, are of high
caliber, and who have kept from going
on relief only by ingenious hook or crook.
No element is more deserving than these
people.
Through displacement of laborers
imported from other counties, the con-
struction payrolls will be more eXtens-
lively expended in Imperial county than
has been the case heretofore. Local resi-
dents will spend locally, thus benefitting
everyone including themselves.
If the relief rolls were heavily loaded
as was the case a year ago, the ruling
permitting non-relief labor would fail
of the purpose of the W.P.A. Under
present circumstances, however, with the
list almost entirely limited to those per-
sons too elderly for hard work or in
too poor health, no one is being harmed.
The instance would appear to be one
wherein everybody is benefited and no
one is harmed.
