Every one of the "a troops in the
Imperial-Yuma council, Boy Scouts
of America, has an active Scout
master, according to Carl N. Hell
mick, Scout executive, who stated
that the troops are in a better pos
ition now as far as leadership is
concerned than at any time during
the past two years.
In addition to Scoutmasters %
of the troops have at least one as
sistant Scoutmaster and five of
them have two assistant Scout
masters.
The council now has five Cub
Packs, all five having active Cub
masters and two of them have as
sistant Cubmasters. This makes a
total of So leaders working with the
SIS Scouts and Cubs of the coun-
Gil through regular weekly meet
ings and special activities.
Each troop has at least three COM
miteemen representing the spon-
soring institutions; each of the sew
en- districts has a district commit
tee or local board, and the council
executive board has "a members,
thus adding $50 leaders to the di-
rect troop leaders who are carry
ing on the program of Scouting so
that boys of Imperial and Yuma
counties may have a more effective
program of character building and
citizenship training.
The total number of Scouts and
Cubs has increased from from 354
in March, 1885, to 5l3, Oct. l, 1886.

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 80. U.P) =
Object of a campaign more elabor-
ate than any except the presidential
contest is proposition No. 22-the
retail store license measure-on the
November ballot.
And stringing along with it is
a proposal which has been the OBJ
ject of numerous fights IN the past
but which was crowded out of the
spotlight this time by the chain
store Observation-Disclosures NO.
18, the oleomargarine tax.
These are the only referendums
among a variety of initiatives and
constitutional amendments submit
ted to the voters for decision.
They were approved by the legis-
lature in 1885, but held up by refer
endum action until the voters them
seves decide whether or not they
should be enacted into law.
The chain store tax proposal
would levy taxes on chains rang
ing from 81 a year for the first
store to $500 a year for the 10th
and each above 10. 1t would ex-
empt gasoline service stations, mo-
ton picture theaters, beauty par
lors, barber shops and ice distribu-
tors, but would affect stores selling
foods, drugs, tobacco, shoes, cloth
ing, automobile supplies, hardware,
coffee, candy, lumber and general
merchandise.
Proponents argued that the tax
would produce important revenue
for the state general fund; would
tend to curb the progress OF mon
opoly and the activities of econ
omic royalists"; would protect in
dividual opportunity against the en-
croachment of chains.
Financed and controlled by
'economc royalists' of the first
water, they (chain stores suck the
financial lifeblood from every COM
munity they enter" said State Sen
ator Chris N. Jespersen and Assem-
blyman Melvyn I. Cronin, sponsors
of the bill.
Opponents emphasized two OBJ
jections: l, that the tax was dis
criminatory because it did not ex-
tend to all types of chains; 2, that
it would result in increased prices
on foodstuffs.
A favorite comparison by oppon-
ents: "a chain auto supply store
selling tires would be taxed, but
across the street a chain gasoline
service station also selling tires
would not be taxed"
The oleomargarine tax bill would
place a tax of 10 cents pound on
oleomargarne containing any fat or
oil ingredient other than Oleo oil,
oleo stock, oleo starine from cattle,
neutral lard from hogs, sheep fat,
cottonseed oil, peanut oil, corn oil
or milk fat. 1t is aimed particu-
larly at cocoanut oil or other types
of Oil grown in the Orient.

INQUIRY

Charging the Black Senate lobby
committee Is q disgrace to the
nation" Representative Kramer
CD Of California yesterday at.
tempted to introduce q resolution
demanding q House investigation
Of the Senate body "for its at
tacks" on American citizens.
Only q parliamentary techni
cality blocked introduction Of the
measure which aSsailed the Black
committee for its "un-American
tactics Of undetermined methods
in the collation. Of facts"
Hits Waste Of Money
Kramer said:
at is regrettable I could not
ret this resolution before the
House. The rules prohibit It on
the ground it criticizes the Sem
ate, but that does not forbid me
from ut least expressing my
views on the subject. It IL about
time we stop wasting the tax
payers money on these foolish
investigations, and that gees too
for the House Committee which
now il squandering $4,000 Of
public funds to look into the
Townsend old-age pension plan"
Kramer's resolution charged:
"The Senate Lobby Commit
tee, Of which Senator Black, Of
Alabama, is chairman, has been
. disgrace to the nation by its
un-American tactics Of under
handed methods in collation. Of
facts allegedly necessary for leg
iSlatiOn.
ATTEMPTS TO STIFLE PRESS
'.By its seizure Of private tele-
grams Of publishers II has at
tempted to stifle the press ana
thwart the constitutional prerOg-
atives Of newspapers and mas
persecuted the citizens Of the
United States by m unprece-
dented reign Of terror In haling
victims before the commit
tee hearings without cause"
Kramer declared In the resolu-
ton the Black committee has
uncovered nothing not already
known" What is known" the
resolution charged, is that "a few
so-called lobbyists have attempted
to influence legislation. For this
reason, the resolution charged,
the committees activities have
been useless" and its employ.
ment of stenographerS, clerks and
investigators has been a "wastetul
expenditure Of the taxpayers
money"
Constitution Periled
The resolution declared the
Black committee may destroy"
the constitutional rights Of the
people. Ito wit, peace Of mind
and freedom from unreasonable
search and seizure"
The Black committee has mot
the slightest respect for the God
given right of privacy" the resolu-
ton declared.
"Manifestly biased" the resolu-
ton charged, the Black committee
is attempting to "terrorize" a
certain class of citizens. Lastly,
the resolution sets forth, the
Black committee has attacked
the rights Of free speech and the
right Of the people to petition
their Government.

House Passes
Bonus Bill By
Majority
Vote On Passage Is An
nounced AS 355 to So

Washington-A crushing house
majority passed and sent to the SEN
ate the bill authorizing immediate
cash payment of the bonus to
nearly 100000 World War vet
Grams.
Its immediate cost was estimated
5ariously from S1,oo0,oee,ooe to
81, oOO, 700, 900.
The vote on passage was an
nounced by Speaker Byrns as 355
to So, more than the two-thirds re-
quired to pass legislation over a
presidential veto. The ballot was
taken before packed galleries.
Prompt consideration of the issue
by the senate finance committee
was promised by Chairman Harri-
son, Democrat, Mississippi.
Unless pressure for the house bill
is too great the committee was con-
sidersd likely to amend the meas
ure or vote out a less liberal one OF
its own, realizing President Roose-
welt is opposed to full payment at
this time.
Democratic Leader Robinson ha.
conferred with the President anc

executives attitude to all bonu:
camps whose representatives have
been comforting in secret for severa.

Robinson was hopeful a bill car
be passed that will meet executive
approval.
Just before final passage the
house defeated 319 to 80 a mo
ton by Representative Treadway
Republican, Massachusetts,, to re-
turn the bill to committee under
instructions to require payment
with unexpected relief funds.
On the floor members were SC
unconcerned about the outcome OF
the balloting hat the chatted nois-

Byrns had to crack down with his
gavel repeatedly so those who had
not yet voted could hear the clerk
call their names.

To Meet In
Philadelphia
Quaker City Wins Poker
Game With Combined
Offer Nearly $500, 900

After spirited and almost unprec-

stakes so high as to all but wipe out
the party's deficit, the Democratic
national committee picked Philadel-
phia for its 1886 national conven-
ton.
The Pennsylvania city, never be-
fore the scene of a Democratic con-
vention won out over San Francisco
and Chicago when its representa-
tives finally waved a certified check
for 100000. Then, to meet higher
bids Philadelphia concessions esti-
mated to raise the total to between
$250,O0O and 100000 were Of
fered.
Party Chairman James A Farley
announced the national conclave,
intended to renomiate President
Roosevelt, would start June p. The
Republican party will meet in
Cleveland beginning June 9.
Before the bidding started, Farley
in opening the national committed
meeting, predicted a campaign of

est slush fund on record"
