Senate Makes Changes
The Senate yesterday made sew
eral important changes in the job
insurance bill. One raised employer
contributions for the remainder of
1886 from g. of l per cent to IL per
cent. Another made it mandatory
for all employers to pay state con-
tributions monthly, instead of al
lowing the employment compensa-
ton board to fix different payment
dates for different employers.
Administration leaders in the
Senate defeated an attempt to
broaden provisions of the job insur-
ance bill by providing that employ
ers of four or more persons come
under it. The number now is eight.
AS result of this action, one
which had been sought by labor.
a compromise was effected whereby
the simplifie administration
method, put in by the House, was
stricken out and the original COM
putation system for worker benefits
was reinSerted.

FEW CAN OUTGAMBLE
THE AMERICAN FARMER

If you can return a foolproof answer
to the question, 'How is the farm belt
going to vote this fall?" the soothsayers
of both parties will shower honors upon
you and call you blessed.
Doping out the farm vote has too many
angles for the peace of mind of the rival
vote-getters. Will the farmer feel CRATE
full for the things the AAA did for him,
or resentful over the things it failed to
do? VIII the recent drouth turn him
against the administration, or will the
drouth-relief program turn him toward
it?
You can get as many answers to such
questions as there are political prognos-
ticators. The whole proposition is
pure gamble. And that, after all, is only
fitting; for the farmer himself by nature
the most conservative and level-headed
of men, is engaged in a lifelong gamble,
in which he bets his livelihood every year.
He has to gamble, first of all, on the
weather. Will there be a drouth this
year. or is there to be plenty of rain?
Will there be late frost in the spring
to ruin his fruit crop-or an early one
in the fall to lay it low before he can
get it picked?
He has no way on earth OF knowing.
All he can do is lay his money on the
line and hope for the best.
He must gamble with the insect world.

fields-or the army worm, the boil wee

SOVIET RUSSIA REVEALS
ITS SEAWY SIDE

Utopian dreams of Soviet Russian
leaders-if there are any such dreams
have not yet brought the Bear That
Walks Like A Man to any semblance of
the American stature. Those who would
turn the United States into another
Soviet Union-and Imperial Valley has
had dealings with their kind-might
profit by consideration of the latest
news out of the USSR The Russian
Commissariat of Internal Affairs has
revealed, or claims to have revealed,
terrorist plot to assassinate present
Soviet leaders and overthrow the present
Russian government by reign of terror.
Imagine, if you can, such wholesale
plot taking root and growing to danger
Gus proportions in the United States
1t is possible, true, but not at all prob
able.
Not the least outstanding comparison
may be found in the secret trial which
will be given the alleged Soviet conspira-
tors. Those who have followed accounts
of former Russian trials, even those sup
posedly public, have come to believe
them mere formalities when they deal
with political subjects
In the United States, even an alleged
conspirator against the life of the Pres
ident and the government itself would
be entitled to a wide open trial-and to
the benefits of every one of the many
legal dodges at hand His guilt would
have to be proven, actually and in pub
lie.
In Russia, the people know only what
the government wishes them to know.
Their newspapers are controlled by the
government, their radio stations cannot
send anything but censored political pro-
paganda. The people of the United
States know more of what is transpiring
in Russia than do the people of Russia.
Except as a study in politics and eco
nomics, Russia should not interest the
United States unduly. When subversive
influences attempt to turn the United
States into another Soviet union, that is
a different thing. 1t should be nothing
but a step backward into feudal times.

Gus destroyer? The farmer won't know
until the time comes Meanwhile, he
must go ahead with his planting and
cultivating, wagering his time, his labor
and his money that these pests will leave
him alone.
He must bet, too on what all the other
farmers are doing If he devotes a good
share of his acreage to potatoes, he is
betting that there are not nough other
farmers doing the same thing to knock
the bottom out of the potato market;
if he raises wheat, he is betting that far
away places, such as Russia and the Ar
gentine, will not bring forth the same
grain too bountifully.
Compared with the farmer, Wall

News Behind the News
Politics in Revolution D.. Plum Of
fered to Italy =. The Seed of Another
Big Var -.

wASHINGToN.-I you look at a map of
the Mediterranean Sea. you will quickly perceive
the serious potentialities involved in diplomatic
rumor which has contributed largely to the
widespread war scare.
The rimor is that the Spanish rebel leaders
have offered to Italy in return for her support
in the current rebellion, the port OF Ceuta in
Spanish Morocco and the island of Minorca in
the BalearicS.
There IS no way of confirming or dsproving
the rumor. Such stories have way Of turning
up during international crisis. Yet this one
has persisted lately in various capitals of the
world.
If it happens to be true as rumors some
times are, it holds the seeds of another great
European war. If it isn't true, it may we'll turn
out to have been concocted by Spaniards loyal to
the Madrid government who sought support
from the British
But there's plenty of evidence that the rebels
have had Italian support.
o
Cessation of Ceuta and Mnorca to Italy
would have approximately the effect Of realizing
Mussolinis dream of turning the Mediterranean
into italian lake"
Whether MuSsolini would dare accept such
an offer at this time would depend on whether
he felt he could afford to take chance of
provoking Great Britain to war.
Fortification OF Ceuta pronounced "thay-
oo-ta) could destroy British control of the
Straits of Gibraltar Mnorca in Italian hands,
would also strategically cut the route from
OIlDralCar 10 Malta.
Along with Sardinia and Sicily, plus Italys
proper and basis in Trpoli, Pelage Island Fri
trea, Ethiopia, and Italian Somaland, possession
of Ceuta and Mnorca would give MusSolini
dominance which you can quickly appreciate
by consulting the map.
Thanks to her air force, Italy may be con-
sidered already to dominate the Mediterranean.
That's why England is arming feveriShly.
international experts agree that Britain must
vanquish Italy in war, frighten her into becom-
ing a more or less docife ally, or prepare to
become a Second-clasS power.
o
Jealousy among different groups of govern
ment detectives is the only known reason behind
the incident wherein two high-ranking Secret
Service denoted for investigating
actions of some of ]. Edgar Hoover's Omen"
Widespread suspicion, however persists in Wash
ington that the Secret Service men were not
acting without approval of someone higher up.
Part OF the reported jealousy is said to be
due to the heavy publicity which the Federal
Bureau OF Investigation men received when
they began wiping out kdnapers and other
gangsters But there was also a bill in the last
Congress- which may be revived, to consolidate
all federal law enforcement agencies.
Congress, if it passed such bill, would be
likely to insist that Hoover head the consodat-
ed forces. And that horrifieS the postal inspec-
tors and Secret Service men, who proud of
their own records.
