SHOULD IMPERIAL VALLEY
ENTER THE TOURNAMENT
OF R0GEG2


Something for Imperial Valley to
think about:
Eighty thousand column inches of
newspaper space advertises the commu-
nifty winning the sweepstakes prize IN
the annual Tournament of Roses parade
at Pasadena
Every float in the prade shares gen
erously in the newspaper space, not to
mention passing before million pair OF
eyes in Pasadena itself.
Every float is described to world
wide radio audience as it passes before
the reviewing stand This radio audience
is said to be the third largest to listen
to any radio broadcast (Broadcasts by
the Pope from Rome and by President
Roosevelt rate first and secondly
News reel motion pictures show every
phase of the parade to the theater-go-
ing world. pictures of the last parade
were shown for full week in Calcutta,
India.)
1t is not beyond the bounds of reason
that the valley should, next season or
the next enter this parade. The time is
too short to enter this years parade with
anything even approximately sufficient
but it never harms anyone to think OF
the future.

News Behind the News
Will You Remember in 1910? The
Most Cockeyed Legislation But 1t
Puts Money Into Circulation

Observation-Disclosures the summer and
fall of 1910 will find a few persons with very
long memories recalling how extravagant were
some of this years campaign utteranceS.
THE most cockeyed piece OF tax Legislation
ever imposed on a modern country" was what the
Republican presidential candidate called the new
Deals new tax on undivided corporation prollts'
The tax was also said 10 be mllstone
around the neck of the little fellows and
body blow to the poor. so9}
So now the steel and automobile industries
are leading what promises to become big
parade of corporations merrily passing out
money to employees and stockholders in the form
of wage increases, bonuses, and dividends.
The only cause for these sudden bursts OF
eenerosity as far as anyone has been able to
determine is that "cockeyed piece of tax legs-
lation" which leves heavily on undivided cor
porate Surpluses.
Distribution of profits in higher dividends and
wages is exactly what Mr. Roosevelt said would
happen result of the tax. e
1t is worth noticing that the steel and auto
mobile industries are centerS OF the drlve by
organized labor to bring the unorganized workers
into unions. Announcements of wage increases
and dividends were generally withheld until after
election If the election had resulted differ
emily, the disbursements might have been with
held, since Jandon had promised to repeal this
tax and it might not have been considered
so advisable to sweeten labor with the hope OF
slowing down unonization.
One garment manufacturer in New York
was so impressed by Republican propaganda
against the old-age benefits phase of the social
security program that he deducted l per cent
of his employees wages for each week, retroactive
to Jan. l, 1885, This left many of his workers
with pay envelopes containing from S361 to $3.50.
When certain outsiders got after him and
warned him that he had committed peniten-
tiary offenSe he said he had read in the news
papers and heard the radio that this was
his duty. He paid it all back the following
Monday morning.
The Social Security Board would like to have
it emphasized that prior to Nov. "a none of us
should go inquiring around poStoffices and Ssh
field offices about the act and its payroll tax
for old-age benefits
During that week it plans to put application
blanks for olr-age benefit account numbers and
information sheets in the hands of about 26,000,-
600 eligible employees. If you're eligible and
haven't received one by Dec. l, it will be time to
start inquiring.

THE WAY TO GREATER
INDUSTRY

Plans to enlarge the industrial Sec
ton of Ell Centre through construction
of new packing sheds, shook sheds and
other establishments in the northwest
ern part of the city give rise to con-
sideration of a contemporary problem,
if it can be called problem. 1t is the
matter of an increasing population for
Imperial Valley.
Efforts have been made in the past
to attract new residents to the valley
on the theory that, once here, they will
cause expenditure of greater total of
money in business, and that such an in
crease will result in more business to
provide for the newcomers. Somehow
or other, it seems like putting the cart
before the horse If carried out to its
logical conclusion, such a plan would
result in bringing about situation in
which two people are available for one
job. The result of such situation
would be a drop in wages and lowering
of living conditions.
1t seems more logical to attract busi-
ness and industry to the valley. An in
creased population will follow as natur-
ally as the days follows night.
Through such constructive effort as
that which brought the new industrial
area to Ell Centro, Imperial Valley will
benefit most If chambers of commerce,
other civic organizations and even in
dividuals concentrated on attracting
more industry, more farmers and more
business to the valley, We would not
have to worry about the population. 1t
would increase in ratio-and its Increase
would be healthy one.
Imperial Valley has many opportuni-
ties for business and industry. 1t is our
Job to make them known where that
knowledge will benefit us.

To a CreduIous Public Fiction Often is Fact

Margaret Mitchell, the young
southerner who wrote that amazing
popular success Gone With the
Wind" found out the other day
how effectively an author can kid
the public. .=#,.
She received a letter from read
er in South Dakota who wanted TO
visit Tara, the ancestral southern
home of Scarlett, the heroine OF
Miss Mitchelrs book.
This reader said that her sister
had visited Tara a few months be-
fore, while on a trip through
Georgia. and had found 1t an un-
forgettable experience; would Miss
Mitchell please tell her how she,
too, might find Tara?
Miss Mitchell undoubtedly would
have been glad enough to oblige;
the only trouble was that there
never was any such place as Tara.
The author not only had invented
it, but she had taken pains to get
detailed map and situate it on a
blank spot so that no existing
plantation could possibly be con-
fused with it.
And yet here was at least one
reader who was sure she had actu-
ally visited the place, and another
who wanted to 60 and do like
WiSe
Miss Mitchell seems to be learn
ing an interesting truth-to wit,
that an imaginative writer who in
vents something vividly enough can
add it to the lore of the race, so
that things which never happened
and never were become as solid and
substantial in peoples minds as
actual historical events.
How many. many visitors to Han
nibal, Mo-, for instance, have thrill
ed at the contemplation of long
imagined thing when they went
through the cave where Tom Saw
yer and Becky Thatcher spent those
fear-haunted hours. or looked on
the authentic fence which Toms
ingenuity endowed with painless
coat of whitewash. or visited the
island where Huck Finn and Niger
Jim laid low!
What if these persons were figures
of Mark Twains matchless imagin-
alton? They are as real to US. now
as Abraham Lincoln or John d.
Rockefeller. They have given this
town of Hannibal their flavor for
ever, just as the ghosts of Dickens
people haunt the streets of Lon
don.
Perhaps the prize example for
all time of this sort of thing Is an
experience which befell the British
writer, Arthur Machen, during the
World war.
In the fall of 1914 Machen wrote
an imaginative story about the
British retreat from Mons, in which,
he had the ghosts of the yeomen
archers of old England come thru
the mists to the aid of the hard
pressed British army. The story
took hold with a keyed-up British
public and promptly ran away from
Machen.
Before long British was full Of a
mystic, told-for- fact story about
the Angels of Mons-supernatural
beings with winged shoulders, who
materialized above the trenches and
with shafts of dazzling light, stop
ped the German rush.

replaced by one of the great legends

That is the sort of thing you are
fooling with when you write fiction.

Whether we agree or not with such criticisms

maintenance of a two-party organization, one

executive proposals. This course gives the peo-
