all water supplies had to be hauled
from Blue Lake.
In 1902 Treshil moved to Imperial
and established blacksmith shop,
being the first blacksmith in the
county. Mrs. TreShil remained on
the ranch for several years finally
moving to Imperial where she
bought the Thelma rooming house

NEW FOSSIL
GRAVES FOUND

GRAND CANYON, Ariz., May 10.
Discovery of new fossil grave
yard" estimated at 100000 years
old, was announced today by Edwin
D. Mckee, chief naturalist for
Grand Canyon National Park.
Mckee said the new deposits were
found 1000 feet below the rim of
the canyon in a formation known
as Bright Angel Shale. Embedded
in the rocks, he said, were fossils
of crab-like crustaceans which died
and were buried in the mud at the
bottom of a shallow sea that cover
ed this district half billion years

so, that coal control can be achiev-

Scrapping of the Wagner labor
relations act on the Guffey prece-
dent was judged to be only matter
of time. Down with the Guffey bill
went most of the hope of those who
projected legislation to regulate
other individual industries or who
believed a federal 30-hour-week
program could be bomb -proofed
against high court attack.
The New Deal money-raising
program took another jolt in the
Guffey decision. Mr.. Roosevelt
had budgeted for Sl8,900,000 from
coal taxes during the current and
next fiscal years. The sum in
volved is small compared with the
wealth denied the treasury when
Agricultural Adjustment was out

But General Hagood was testifying before

stances. We believe that he should have been,
that military regulations should be waived in
such a case.
The granting of such waiver, however,
should be determined by conditions. To author
ize immunity a blanket basis might open the
way to dangerous misuses. 1t would be as bad

hand, government must make sure that the
likelihood Of arousing public dlsapproval does
net prevent it from administering discipline
where it thinks it is needed.
1t goes without saying that if an officer is
obligated to abide by the present code, is bound
by traditional subOrdination in cases where he is
compelled tC discuss the acts or policies of his
superiors, then his opinions aren't worth the
polish to shine his spurs.

abolition of an order docking any man
full days pay for an hours tardi-
ness. They demanded, also, discharge
of snperiors they disiiked.
Working on made" jobs, living at
the expense of taxpayers, the Los An
geles WPA workmen who struck this
week present a cross-section of the best
arguments against the relief program
as it is practiced in some parts of the
country. The country itself is badly in
need of relief from such demonstrations.
The government has made jobs to keep
these men from starving. In return,
they strikei
Sometimes, there is reason for a
strike Under WPA, it is hard to see
how a reason could exist. The admins
tration employs experts whose atten-
ton is devoted solely to the interests of
the workers. If anything, they are given
more consideration than they could hope
to get in any private industry. BY such
action as that at Los Angeles the relief
recipients do much to put the entire
relief program in bad repute.

When the national election takes
place next fall, the electorate of this
nation expects to witness and participate
in close contest The people are en-
titled to this expectation. 1t is the fun
damental value of the twO-party system
that the activities of the party in power
should be challenged by the party not in
power
When Roosevelt took office. it was
not long before the Saturday Evening
Post, great Republican organ. editorial
lied that the Republican party would be
dead unless it could by hook or crook,
widen its scope and become more agrees
slve. Since that day, many are intently
curious as to whether such statement
was justified and, if so, whether the Re-
publican party can rise to the occasion
of successfully challenging the Demo-
Gratis in a decisive battle.
When two armies face each other,
that army with the least internal con-
Fiction stands the best chance to VIM
Today, both parties are troubled with
internal strife. Strife within the Demo-
cratic ranks may be serious. By COM
parison that within the Republican
ranks are small and trifling.
For this reason, the COP. state
leaders SnOulu stop argument on Jfl1leS,
present a determined front and get down
to the nationwide issues and the nation
wide leaders. By the same token, squab-
bling over instructing the state delega-
ton to vote the first ballot for Merriam
out of courtesy is like going into battle
armed with pop-guns instead of organ
lied artillery.
This is mistaking politics for pur-
poses, local gracious gestures for serious
and all-important major issues. 1t is
fiddling while Rome burns, sleeping
while opportunity knocks. 1t is not living
up to the precepts and obligations of a
major party. 1t is being so close to the
tree that the forest is blotted out of
vision In a sense it can be interpreted
as betraying the COP. electorate by not
presenting the best possible case against
the defendant party.
For these reasons it would be good
horse-sense 10 pay Governor Merriam
rising vote of thanks and get down to
business with an uninstructed delega-
ton.
