 In 1868, at the age of l0, he figured in a Brule battle with U. s. troops in Wyoming, and then in a raid on laborers building the new Union Pacific railroad.

Other Editors Say
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM
salinas Daily POST

Strong effort is being made throughout the
state to put on the November ballot, measure
which proposes that city and county officials and
others employed by those political subdivisions
be required to pass civil service examinations
before they can take office.
Several dangers, as we'll as several good
points, are Immediately apparent in any meas
ure which proposes civil service-reform
Primarily provision must be made for those
who are employed by counties or munich
palitieS. The measure as now presented, will
draft those already employed into civil service
without examination. That, in itself, will appear
just Government employees now doing satisfac-
torily in their positions should not have their
jobs jeopardized. Neither should they be
qured, after many years in service to compete
against those fresh from schools, and immedi-
ately prepared to pass examinations.
However there is another viewpoint to the
situation. Many city and county employees to-
day are net qualified to hold their positions.
They have acquired them through political
means or because of relationship with those in
power. Under the proposed civil service mea-
sure those employees would be fully protected
under the law and could be removed only for
apparent cause-which in many cases would not
be available.
Great danger lies also in civil service COM
missions. Civil service has long been joke in
its present status not because competent
amnees cannot be found, but because the ad-
miniStration OF the civil service laws through
the civil service commissions has been joke
In many cases, the very evils fer the reme
dy of which civil service was instituted are even
more prevalent under the commission system
enlarged under the protection of the law.
Certainly civil service, some method of
obtaining competent and women for SER
vice in public office must be put into effect.
Until it is, and soldly, there will be cry Of graft

When the present administration

fact remains that the crisis is not as
pressing now as then. The country is
on a sounder economic basis. Perhaps
it was the efforts of the administration,
perhaps the natural recovery of business
and industry. That point is not at stake
here.
What is at stake is that the average

the burden placed on him by excessive
relief costs. The administration knew
that. Desperate methods were taken,
but they could not be permanent. They
were never intended to be permanent.
The program of eliminating part, at
least, of these expenses has begun. The
result is startling; comic, except that it
is so serious. The projected hunger
march on Washington, with demands
for continued relief and greater appro-
priations, is a phase of that result. 1t
shows only one thing clearly, that Am
erica's social problems have not yet been
worked out to a satisfactory solution.
The majority of American taxpayers
have awakened to the realization that
something must be done to care for
these thousands of unemployed. The
unemployed have not yet realized that
the average American taxpayer cannot
continue to bear the burden of relief
without himself becoming a subject for
it.
The method of trial and error must
go on yet awhile.

Contract has been let and DOrk UW go
ahead Immediately on the first link of
proposed farm-tO-mdrket road SyS-
tenn in Imperial Valley. At the same
time, street Improvements are under
loay or contemplated in El CentrO and
other toIUns of the Uaiiey.
The Calipatria-Wes
sons Crossing road link and the pro-
posed street improvements in valley
towns point a moral often overlooked
in the efforts of civic organizations to
obtain approval of arterial highways
leading into Imperial Valley. These
highways are important to bring visitors
here but without a first-rate road sys-
TEN within the valley itself, there is less
inducements for them to stay.
No town or city is more attractive to
the visitor than one with broad, paved
streets. No region is more attractive
than one crossed by many good roads.
The towns of Imperial Valley leave
much to be desired in their streets. The
rural area leaves much to be desired IN
its farm-to-market roads.
The sooner these roads and streets
are brought above par, the sooner I'M
perial Valley will be lifted out OF the
average in attractiveness to tourists and
