1t was nearly closing time Saturday
and outside a chilling rain was blow
ing before a stiff wind, but on the
benches of the dingy basement Of the
Indiana avenue center or standing
around the walls were a dozen relief
applicants, white and colored, man
and woman, looking dumbly ahead,
waiting for the reply which all have
received since March Is: There 's
no more money for relief. We can
give you nothing.
Take 1t With Shrug.
The reaction Of relief applicants to
the knowledge that all avenues Of pub
lie aid have been closed to them is
generally the same.
"It's a strange thing" said Philip
s. Akree, head of the center, but
most Of them take it with a shrug.
They figure that something will turn
up; that the Government just won't
let them starve.'
On the faces of some of the older
ones, however, is written the panic Of
hopelessness. Some take the news
belligerently, but these are in the
minority.
They've been pushed and showed
around SO much that they regard their
present situation dumbly and without
protest" Elwood Street. director of

Jail Commitments Increase.
Arriving at the Jail, Senator King
learned from Superintendent T. M.
Rives that total commitments to that
institution have mounted from 10,700
in 1926 to 2o,s51 for the past year.
He found also that present facilities
are not sufficient to allow for separa-
ton of young first offenders from
hardened criminals. He, was advised
also that there Is no space In which
the prisoners can be given exercise,
except to let them walk back and forth
in the narrow corridor Of each cell
block. He was told by officials that
it is difiicult to heat and ventilate the
cell-blocks which are separated from
the outside wall of the building by
mess hall.
The superintendent took the view
IL would be more economical to build
a new Jail than to invest in the old
building the amount necessary to re.
condition and add to it. The Senator
requested Rives to send him detailed
statistics on the increase in the Jail
population during the past decade, to
support the amendment which the
Senator decided he would offer to the
pending bill. The amendment will
not seek immediate funds for construc.
ton purposes, but call for complete
study and report to the next Congress.
Inside the main entrance to the
iail the superintendent touched an
alarm bell to demonstrate what the
guards do in case of trouble. Immedi-
ately several of the bluecoats came
hurrying from the rotunda toward the
entrance to learn where they were
needed. They were met on the way
by the inspecting oficials, however,
and returned to their posts.
One Of the things the Senator
learned was that the jail has no regu-
lar death chamber, and that electro
cutions take place in the prisoners
mess hall. On such occasions the tables
are pushed to one side Of the room.
and the electric chair placed there
temporarily.
Senator King accompanied the su-
perintendent through all parts Of the
building, including the kitchen, and
found wholesome evening meal In
preparation.
In proposing o study Of the advisa-
bility of erecting q new Jail, the Utah
Senator stressed the importance of
separating the young and old pris-
oners and Of doing everything possible
to guide them away from criminal
paths.
He plans later to visit the Tubercu-
losis Hospital on Upshur street.

BRINGING ALL
THE NEWS TO
udPERIAL
VALLEY
A WISE PROVISION
IN SALARY BOOSTS

The Ell Centro city council last We'd
nesday night voted salary increases for
a majority of city employees, according
to length of service and value to the
city, and with the provision that the
increases shall hold only so long as the
employees continue to increase in eff
cheney. 1t is as it should be-
Wages of city employees were cut,
along with wages of workers in private
business, during the disastrous years of
the depression. Now that the depression
is over, it would not be right to expect
the city employees to work for the de-
pression-years salaries At the same
time, it is only good business practice
to assure that they will render good
service to their employers, the people.
In adopting its policy as announced
simultaneously with the salary increases,
the Ell Centro city council once again
demonstrated that it is made up of men
who bring to city government the same
logic they use in their private business
"a practice followed all too seldom in
public affairs.
BY providing efficiency as a necessary
factor for salary increases, the council
insured good business in administra-
tion of the citys affairs.
