breckenridge Candidacy New

WASHINGTON-The candidacy of Col.
Henry Breckenridge against President Roosevelt
n certain state Democratic primaries IS causing
more puzzlement than eXcitement-or alarm
in Washington
Other evidence may turn up later but thus
far no one has been able to discover that there's
anybody behind it except Colonel Breekinridge
Neither the Liberty League nor any OF the pro-
minent anti-RooSevelt Democrats seem TO be
linked with the colonel
The only possible effect of the colonels
bid Tor delegates would be to measure the
strength of anti-RoOSevelt feeling in the Demo-
cratic party in few states possibly to poll
enough votes TO build up the psychology that
Roosevelt can be licked and encourage formation
CT such third party of walkers the Liberty
League leadership has been considering.
Democratic party leaders are not worried
that Breckenridge will receive any vote worth
talking about and aren't even taking the precau-
tionary measures they would consider advisable
if a more widely known Democrat had entered
against the president. But they're specuating
a bit
Breckenridge is a Wall Street lawyer, the
friend and intimate adviser OF Col Charles A.
Lindbergh.
Some time ago Breckenridge sent to Ohio
for primary application papers saying they
would be filed in the name OF candidate who
hadn't been mentioned yet The man who filed
Breckinridge but some politicians have
wondered whether he might not originally have
had Lndbergh in mind.
It is considered more likely however that

1t was Gel. John Breckenridge who be-
came presidential candidate of a ticket named
by slave-State boilers from the Democratic con-
vention of 1860 and who along with Stephen A.
Douglas-candidate of northern Democrats
was defeated by Abraham Lincoln.

President Hoover and at one time was a special

Other Editors Say
TAX PROPOSAL POPULAR, THEREFORE
CERTAIN OF ADOPTION
HanfOrd SentineD

In spite Of partisan conflict Congress will
pass the new tax bill proposed by President
Roosevelt with little change or amendment.
Good or bad from an economic standpoint, it
will becme the law of the land-unless it should
run into the supreme court snag which upset So
many New Deal measures and that is improb-
able.
His party foes accuse the president Of play
ing politics in submitting such a proposal. Per-
haps he is, for the plan is a "scak-therich'
scheme Of taxation that will meet with popular
fancy and popular support.
The "Windfal' tax proposal, another factor
In the mid-term budget message. will strike
another popular chord, for it is designed to take
from the packers and professors what they al
ready had taken from the farmers in processing
taxes which the supreme court permitted them

voters. therefore will be enacted into law and

Such great projects as Boulder Dam
on the Colorado river and the Grand
Coulee Dam in the northwest had their
inception in basic plans for reclamation
and power development, but almost as
important in the results achieved is that
of flood control From their success
along this line might come the inspira-
tion for similar flood control projects
in eastern states, to prevent such dlsaS-
ers as that which is even now costing
hundreds of millions of dollars in dam
age. and which has claimed numerous
lives. Prevention of just one such tragic
flood would more than pay the cost OF
construction for flood control works
along the embarrassed rivers.
Imperial Valley, for the first time
in years, knows sense of security from
the seasonal Colorado river floods 1t
was not long ago that the valley lived
under a constant threat of partial mum
dation. Huge sums were spent in bat
Ting against the river. Boulder Dam
has removed that necessity, but the
memory gives Imperial Valley a more
than average sympathy with the strick-
en- regions of the east.
In the valley, there is surety that
floods will not come again The eastern
cities and communities have no such
surety. This years floods might be
repeated next year, and the neXt-unless
something is done. That something IS
to be found in the giant projects even
now becoming actualities in the west.
Man can conquer nature-partially, at
least-if he sets out to do so.

GARDEN AND FLOWER SHOWS
SERVE A PURPOSE.

Garden and fOUer ShOUs, such as the
beautiful affair arranged last Ueek by
the IcOHien of CuLipdtrid, SerUe pHr-
pose Uhich goes much further than
the mere current competition for the
best fOICerS or the prettiest garden.
Theg inspire interest in beautiful
homes, an interest Uhich reflects in
The betterment of the entire cOBinun-
Hy.
Those who take part in the flower
shows are doing a great service to their
community. Calipatria is a better town
because of the competition arranged by
its women. Holtville, Ell Centre and 9TH
er towns of the valley are better off
because Of the annual festivals held by
their citizens. There is no more lasting
civic pride than that in the beauty of
the community, and none which affects
so quickly the outsider who visits the
town in question. People like to live in
a beautiful community. BY the same
token, they are not interested in a drab,
uninviting place.
Residents Of Imperial Valley COM
munities, however, should not stop with
their annual garden and flower shows.
The spirit Of the events should be car
ried on through the year, so that the
community will become progressively
more beautiful, more appealing both to
residents and to outsiders.
The valley, a pioneering community
in its entirety, is just now entering upon
the phase Of its development which will
bring forth more beautiful homes, sur
rounded by beautiful gardens and lawns.
Interest should not be allowed TO lag in
this phase of the valleys Growth

Many observers here were convinc-
ed from the start that Eure would
make better showing against Wade
than he did and were surprised that
he ran more than 10000 votes behind
in the first primary. But since he fail
ed to get more than 168,970 votes in

that he made mistake in calling for
