TWO KINDS OF PUNISHMENT
FOR DRUNK DRIVERS

Punishment by legal means is swift
and sure for drunken drivers in Califor-
MIA. Chief E. Raymond Cato of the Cali
fornia Highway Parol told gathering
of peace officers at Holtville last week.
Highway parolmen are in no mood to
brook violation of the law, he said They
know that 1884 persons were killed in
highway accidents in this state in the
first six months of 1885, that 103 drunk
en- drivers were killed, that 81 drunken
pedestrians were killed, and that more
than 5000 persons were convicted and
punished for driving while drunk
If you drink and drive, Cato declared,
you must expect arrest and prosecution.
But behind his statement is still dark
er threat that every motorist must re-
member at all times If you drink and
drive, death may be waiting around the
next corner-and even prosecution is
preferable to that

WE'RE GETTING BIG ENOUGH
FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS

Ell Centro is perhaps the only city
of its size in California, situated on a
national highway, in which a motorist
can zoom along the main street without
being faced at the principle intersec-
tions with warning him to Stop While
Pedestrians Are In Cross Walk
Perhaps such a measure would slow
down traffic here to too great an eX-
tant, considering how many pedestrians
there are, and how many motorists, too.
1t seems increasingly necessary, how
ever, to make some provision for pedes-
rian rattle, even if it is only the designa
ton by white lines of pedestrian cross
ing zones, with warnings to motorists to
go Slow when near them.
The traffic problem in Ell Centro is
a scrambled one even now With an in
evitable increase in population this VIM
ter, it cannot help but become worse.
In view of such a certainty, it is high
time for the proper authorities to take
some steps toward greater control along
Main street, at least.

A PROGRAM THAT DESERVES
IMPERIAL COUNTY'S SUPPORT

Civic leaders IN Yuma, ArlZ., and IN
southeastern Imperial county, have TAX
Ell preliminary steps in a program
which, although little known to the
majority of residents in the greater por
ton of Imperial county, certainly de-
serves whole-hearted support. 1t is a
project to turn Haughtelin lake into a
recreational park center.
Haughtelin lake is four or five miles
north of Winterhaven on the California
side of the Colorado river. 1t has no out
let and no inlet, but these defects could
be remedied Very easily by cutting
through to nearby irrigation canal.
Even now the lake is used occasionally
for Boy Scout camporees, picnics swim
mings and other outings.
Carl n Helmick, Boy Scout execu-
tive who is one of the Imperial county
residents cognizant of the plan, points
out that increased travel and interest
in the Imperial Dam site and All Am
erican canal headwaters region makes a
recreational park there more desirable
than ever.
Such a project could be carried
through very easily if the federal gov
ernment could be prevailed upon to de-
clare Haughtelin lake a national park
1t is owned by the government. No great
capital outlay would be necessary to
transform it into an exceedingly at
tractive place for all manner of out
ings.

The Other FeIl0U's Secrets The
High Command Keeps Finger on the
Pulse Last Minute Blasting

NEW YORK-The best way to discover the
secret campaign plans Of a major party seems
10 be to hang around the opposition headquar
ters and see what the scouts and spies have
brought in
one party's high command usually knows
or thinks it knows-just what coup the high
command OF the other party is about to perpe-
tuate.
II the Republicans are ignorant Of the ma
ture OF the spectacular grandstand play which
they expect Roosevelt TO pull off on the eve
of election-as one gathers they are-its fair
bet that the President and his advisers haven't
worked that out yet
This writer's observation has been that the
New Deal strategists have usually been only
about one jump ahead of the gun in deciding
where to place the next shot
There's a fairly straight tip, however that
Roosevelt will deliver a last-minute radio blast
aimed at alleged slush funds ana at ayalanch-
es of delayed propaganda in the doubtful tier of
states running from New York to Michigan
That, however, will be a counterattack in
response to a major Republican effort of which
Democrats have had advance notice.
About 4OOoo0OO letters according to tips
received by Roosevelt leaders, will be mailed
from COP sources to employees and stock
holders in the last two or threee days before
election
These ii is said. will be of the scare" type
and the mailing list will be taken from stock
holder and payroll lists furnished by corpora
lions and other employers. The idea would be
TO reach nearly every voter, of setting favorable
business news by lorecaSting disaster TO busi-
ness employment, and investments in case Of
RooSsvelis reelection.
This story may be exaggerated. but Democrats
are taking IL seriously enough To be planning
on fast punchy comeback from Roosevelt
over a national hookup.
Similarly. they hope to offset effects of other
iast-minute barrages, such as circulation OF
20.000000 tabloids in doubtful states which

THE BACK BREAKING BURDEN
OE Hidden TAXES

We were told that the rich would pay the
bill for the New Deal. The sober truth is that
if the government TOOK all income of the rich,
those who have very small income still would
have to pay tthe freight. In 1881 consumer
day undsr the Roosevelt administration the
taxes were 31.0 per cent OF federal income; to-
day under the Roosevelt administration the con-
sumner pays 61.3 per cent of all federal taxes
For the fiscal year 1898, the soak the poor
taxes amounted TO 1901 ,635 For the fiscal
year 1885 these same taxes amounted to 81
232, ,402 $40. For 1896 the figures will be even
higher.
We have been told the rich pay; the figures
prove the family with income per year OF
5000 or LOCO, or even less is carrying the back
breaking tax burden to pay for our national
folly.
If you pay SIS month rent your land
lord has to pass On $3.50 FOR federal taxes
alone; if you lucky enough to be able to
pay $50 a month rent, remember that II times
a year S7.20 of your rent money pays for
federal tax program that soaks the poor Iii4e
he must pass to you.
Almost any Necessary of life you can mention
is taxed from SO times, like. meat. to SO times,
like bread. On no, it is not all federal tax but
a lot of it is and the federal taxes have piled
it on heavy. This is not an attempt to blame
the rich man the employer of labor. He is
paying more, too; but the joker in the New
Deal policy OF waste and taxation by deception Is
proved by the fact that the consumer-tthe fam
liy dependent upon small income-noW pays
more than 60 per cent of the federal tax bill.
AND REMEMBER this In spite of these
consumer taxes which soak the poor and all the
taxes the rich pay, the Roosevelt policy calls
for much spending accompanied by the in
evitabfa Waste-that the federal government
from March a. 1888 to June 30 1896, paid out
the fantastic total Of 25 billion dollars. This is
S212 for every dollar received in taxation. You
see then that taxation IF THE NEW DEAL IS
CONTINUED, will have to be HEAVIER than
it is now.
II the Roosevelt spending spree had restored
American prosperity, nobody but the chronic
crouch would complain, but it hasn't. Govern
mant spending has created a mirage of prosper
ity but today there still are 12,000000 men and
wemen in the dark despair of unemployment
IT is UP TO YOU. If you want four more
years of government by chaos and taxation,
which we are told hits the rich but really soaks
the poor vote for Roosevelt; BUT, if your good
judgment tells you that there is no future for
anyone in such policy; that there is, as ALI
Landon says, no future on relief VOTE FOR
