Burroughs Citizens Seek to
"Accept Challenge" of
Supply Bill Cut.

The right to run local affairs "in
accordance with American principles
Of representative government" in ex-
change for complete abolition Of the
Federal share toward District expenses
was asked In a resolution adopted
unanimously by the Burroughs Citi-
zens' Association last night.
Wilbur S. Finch, who introduced
the resolution, declared "the citizens
Of the District of Columbia pay taxes
but have no say IN government con-
troll. Let us accept the challenge Of
Congress and do away entirely with
the so-called Federal share for the
right to run our own local govern
ment. Either let Congress do its just
part, or let us run our own city"
Paul e. Jameson, chairman of the
associations Law and Legislation
Committee, asked in another resolution
adopted unanimously that liquor in
the District be sold only In exclusive"
liquor stores.
The resolution further called for
limitation on the number of District
liquor stores to $50, which, it was
estimated, would have each store
serving approximately 1000 persons.
Restrictions should be specified by
statute rather than mere empower
ment Of the District Commissioners
to regulate liquor control, the resolu-
ton declared, suggesting further that
it be made unlawful to import any
liquors into the District without the
payment Of D. c. tax.
Mrs. Jesse c. Adkins, representing
the Voteless District of Columbia
League of Women Voters, spoke in
support Of the pending juvenile court
bill She described the legislation as
based on the standard juvenile court
law already in effect in several States,

was referred to committee for study.

DON'T LET PREJUDICE
STAND IN THE WY

The Resettlement Administration is
going ahead with its plans for mlgra-
tory agricultural workers camp near
Brawley, it seems, from an announce
ment made at San Francisco that work
on the camp will start shortly after the
first of the year. 1t is a project that
has met considerable opposition in I'M
perial Valley, largely because it was
feared that such a camp would become
a meeting place for undesirable elements
among agricultural workers. The pos
sibility of such development cannot be
overlooked, but the bare possibility
should not be allowed to build up in the
community a feeling of resentment be-
fore proof has been given that the camp
is either practical or undesirable.
The migratory workers camps are,
admittedly. an experiment. Nothing is
ever accomplished without experimental
ton. Imperial Valley was not built up
by reactionary forces, nor will 1t contl-
nue. to develop if it adopts an attitude
of opposition to all proposed changes.
The migratory workers camp can be-
come an asset to the community. 1t can
provide sanitary living facilities for
many bona fide farm workers who other
wise would live in ditch-bank shacks or
crude camps of their own making. 1t
can make their lives more pleasant, and
give them less reason for dissatisfaction.
1t can do all this-if properly managed.
On the other hand, it can become
sort of central agency for those whose
chief desire is to get out of work, or to
stir up trouble among the men who do
not wish to work. Lack of proper man.
agement would leave the door open for
undesirables.
The principal interest of the citizens
of Imperial Valley should be to see that
proper supervision is provided for the
camp, once it is established. 1t would be
best if an Imperial Valley man, one
meeting with the approval of the COM
munity, could be selected to supervise
conditions there. Such man would
understand conditions which might es-
cape the eye of anyone not cognizent of
the valleys history and problems
The camp cannot help but be on suf
ferance until its worth has been proven
to the valley. Until then, or until the op
posite of worth has been demonstrated,
it is to be hoped that the valley will not
set up unreasonable obstacles, but will
offer spirit of cooperation which will
bring about the establishment of sat-
isfactory system of camp supervision.

RETAIL SALES INCREASE
IN CALIFORNIA

The United States government has
Just released its final retail report for
California, prepared by the business
census department of the Bureau of
Census The report is the result of
months of intensive work 1t is accur
ate to the last detail based as it is on
actual figures taken from the books
of business houses in the state.
California, the report says, enjoyed
a SO per cent increase over the retail
sales of 1933-the last business census
year. The intervening year, 1884, was
about on a par with 1888.
If retail sales in the state increased
SO per cent in 1885, what will the figure
be for 1886? Any person with the abili-
ty to observe knows beyond doubt that
business has been far better in 1886 than
in 1885. The latter year, in fact, is re-
garded as the tail-end depression year.
The year just ending is called the first
year out of the depression.
The increase in retail sales is not the
only cheering feature of the report.
During the same year, 1885, the number
of employees in California establishments
increased 16 per cent over 1888, and the
payroll increase amounted to 27 per
cent over 1888, and the payroll increase
amounted to 27 per cent. The picture
given by this census is, truly, a cheerful
one.
Business experts agree that the pres
ent wave of prosperity will be on the
increase for five years, at least. In view
of this prediction the increases noted by
the business census are an indication
that the people of California may expect
better times than for many years.

Other Editors Say
THIRTY HOUR WEEK
Santa Monica Outlook

The American Federation of Labor, at its
convention in Florida has gone on record as
favoring the organizations endorsing that con-
gress pass the thirty hour week law.
1t is evident that executive members Of the
American Federation of Labor think that pro-
ducing wealth is a card table game; that getting
wealth consists in taking it from some one else
They do not seem to realize that the worker
produces his own wages; that the less he pro-
duces, the less his wages of necessity can be.
It seems to us to be one Of the last things that
any government should do-to limit the amount
of work or wealth a man dare to produce by
limiting the number of hours.
This attempt to regulate the number of hours
"a man can work comes from the fallacious
belief that there is only given amount of work
to be done; therefore people think it has to be
divided up Work needs TO be divided up only
when there is monopoly on work. If there is
no monopoly, there is an unlimited amount Of
work to be done. There is no given lump sum
III work to be done. The work to be done de-
pends on the wants of As long human
beings have wants and needs, there will be work
to be done.
If democracy gives the voting majority the
right to arbitrarily limit the amount of hours
and lower standard Of living until people finally
realize that democracy does not mean that the
voting majority has a right to regiment the
minority.

IMPERIAL VALLEYS NOSE
TO THE GRINDSTONE

Especially at this season, when its al
ways hotly contested Imperial Irriga-
ton District election is in the offing,
does Imperial Valley often overlook the
future because it is too interested in
the present.
The troubles of refinancing, of elect
ing officials, of cleaning the truth from
the biased statements of interested poll
ticians and candidates, are apt to over
shadow the Ultimate objective. We are
likely to become so embroiled in the
problems of today that our minds do
not encompass the assured benefits of
the future
The All American canal will be COM
peted in little more than year The
east and west mesas, with hundreds of
acres of new land, eventually will be
brought under cultivation. Imperial Val
ley will outstrip its present population
and wealth more rapidly than most OBJ
servers expect.
How all this is to be done will be
decided as the occasion arises. The
thing to remember is that it WILL be
done.

ciliate its foes; instead, it would
welcome challenge, confident that
with our help it could make the
war short and a victorious one.
Now look at the other side of the
medal Suppose that we cemented
our relations with the nations of
the new world, turned our faces
resolutely away from Europe, and
let it be known that we would be
neither an ally nor a market for
any European power in case of war
overseas. What then?
Isn't it at least possible that this
would do more to insure peace than
any amount of active cooperation
we could give?
No nation and no coalition of ma
tions could count on American sup
port or American supplies in event
Of war Instead, it could count on
seeing the people of the new world
bend every effort to live by their
own resources, to broaden their own
trade, to perfect their independence
of European influence.

For victor and vanquished alike,
this would be dreary picture. II
would mean nothing less than the
decline of Europes pre-eminent
position in the world 1t might very
well look to Europe like too high
price to pay for refusal to settle
difficulties peaceably.
These are the points which we
need to ponder very thoughtfully.
The world is in a critical position
and what we do will be tremen-
dously important
We cannot overlook the prospect
that adoption of a policy of en-
lightened self-interest by the new
world might in the long run turn
out to be the best contribution the
new world could make toward keep

Any American who hopes to see
his country stay at peace in a war
threatened world-and that includes
practically all of us-owes 1t TO NM
self to do a little straight, earnest
thinking.
The Buenos Aires conference has
been pointed up these hopes for
peace. The surge of good will and
idealism created by President Roose-
velt's South American speeches was
followed by certain concrete pro-
posals to make peace permanent:
and before public opinion can jell
on them. we have to examine, very
thoughtfully, the whole question OF
our relation to the outer world and
our responsibilities to it.
We owe it to ourselves and to
civilization as a whole to do all
that we can to preserve the peace;
granted. How far does that debt
extend, and where does our duty
leave off and impractical idealism
begin?
There are plenty of people in
Europe who would like nothing bet
ter than to harness our desire for
peace to their own purposes. They
would like to see us playing an
active part in European politics,
pledging our military forces and
our money in support of chosen
program. They are not above play
ing us for suckers to get us to do
just that.
Yet that would not lead to pre-
servation of peace. 1t might very
easily lead directly toward war.
No European statesman who car
ried our blank check in his pocket
would feel like walking softly. No

showdown it would be supported by
the United States would try to con-
