THOSE WHO GET IT MUST EARN IT
Ia Habra star

Business cannot long survive under any
scheme which takes wealth property belong
ing to one group and gives it to others who
have not earned it,
1t is true that to some extent that very
thing is done now by means of taxation bu
only by perVersiOn of the general plan under
which undertake to govern ourselves and to
pay for thzt government. And that perversion
cannot long go on.
II is also true that some wealth now belongs
to people who did not earn it. But much more
of it belongs to people who accumulated it by
means that We're morally and legally right. No
share the wealth scheme has yet been brought
forward which distinguishes between those two
kinds Of accumulation
There IS no use going into the theory of
capitalism and socialism. It is worth while
only to consider the actual practicalities of the
situation This means that the idea Of private
property must prevail.
# this IS the case no justification can be
found for wholesale appropriation OF wealth,
TO be taken from those who have it and given
to those who have done nothing to deserve it.
The only thing that can b done is try and
prevent anybody getting it Who does not earn it.
Too much wealth has fallen into the hands

POWER SETUP
WILL BENEFIT
ENTIRE AREA

Residents of Imperial Valley vino
are looking forward to the inaug-
uration of the power development
and distribution program as pro-
posed by the Imperial Irrigation
District have many examples offer
ed them OF the successful operat-
ion of such publicly owned power
systems. From these it is easy to
conclude that the local system can
also attain great success and prove
to be a benefit to residents of the
District and valley.
There are five cities in Southern
California operating their own
power and light systems which are
of especial interest to District res
identS as they prove that with
reasonable care such systems can
attain high degree Of success
Anaheim, operating its system
for SO years has an average rate
of 271 cents a kiloWatt hour and
made a net profit of $24,330 on a
2.83 cent average rate per kiloWatt
hour while Banning, with a 3.94
cents average rate added $25 300
to the city treasury in 1893.
Cotton, piled up a surplus of
S38,964 and Riverside, $166,4 on
an average rate of 2.63 cents per
kilowatt hour, the bulletin states.
A further interesting feature of
the records set by these cities Is
that they purchased power from
privately owned corporations and
then retailed it to their customers.
Even through this process they
were able to gain the substantial
profits outlined above.

p0IGeT'.

Before many days have passed, the
Imperial Irrigation Districts diesel en-
gine power plant in Brawley will be in
operation, distributing power to a limit
ed number of consumers in the north
end city. Upon the performance of the
Brawley plant Imperial Valley taXpay-
ers will base their later conclusions as to
the desirability of municipality owned
power system in the valley. 1t will be
the first opportunity given here to study
at close range the good points and bad Of
such a municipal system.
The valley has heard much on both
sides about municipal power systems.
Figures have been quoted and facts cited,
but they were taken from other cOmmun-
tiles. What the conditions would be in
actual operation here has never been
demonstrated, and could only be esti-
mated For the first time, the valley
will have an opportunity to see its own
municipal plant in operation, and meas
ure the benefits and handicaps
The Brawley plant will operate un-
der handicaps for which careful OBJ
servers will make allowances. With the
effect Of these handicaps deducted, how
ever, a fairly accurate basis can be had
to compute the widespread results from
a municipal system originating on the
All American canal and covering the
entire valley. Both sides will be given
an opportunity to watch progress Of the
Brawley system, and both will present
their arguments to the public. In the
end, the public will be better off for its
knowledge.

NEW YORK. May 7. - Bicycling
has given some parts of New York
the glittering spin of Rotterdam
Not since the bike went the way of
the pug dog and puff sleeve has it
attained such popularity. For years
its use was confined almost solely
to messengers in Wall Street.
Today in the upper Broadway
area several bicycle stores and rent
ing agencies have opened. Also
bike tog shops. And the bicycle
parking problem has taken on the
annoyance of the baby carriage
problem in the courtyards and in
front of apartment houses in Har
lem and the Bronx.
However. the most noticeable eVi
dence of the renaissance is in Cen
tral Park. Many bicycle clubs,
mostly stenographers and clerks,
have been formed to pedal about
the exclusive new track for an hour
and then breakfast in the open at
the municipality owned Tavern on
the Green.
Another indication OF the sudden
popularity are warning signs be-
fore apartment houses on the upper
East Side: mo Bicycles" Every
morning, too, the roads leading out
of New York for the New England
area are awhirr with wheels. Young
vacationistS off for the country
side.
In France, and I believe Holland,
the bicyclist has supreme right of
way. and woe betide the motorist
who runs him down. But New York
hasn't such a law, and weaving in
and out motor traffic has become
one of the daily death lodging mir
acles of this skip-tbe-gutter town
Bicycle makers are angling for a
Woollcott, Dorothy Parker or such
bell sheep to aid the renaissance;
give it SWank.

ttON VI CoHNtOH Sense.
Old line party regulars triumphed
in CALIFORNIA; presidential primary elec-
tion. The balloting, of course. proved

of President Roosevelt, and the states
Republican leaning toward the Earl
Warren uninstructed delegation and
away from the Merriam-Hearst backed
Landon delegation-but it did more than
that. 1t proved that once again the vot-
ers of California, at least, are satisfied
that national welfare is on an even keel.
In times of stress, when the average
voter is not sure where his country is
going, nor that it is going in the right
direction, many plans and many schemes
obtain strong backing. When times are
better, when the state of the nation is
satisfactory the voters adhere to accept
ed, old line Standards They did so this
week.
The Republicans rested control Of
their delegation to the national cOnven-
tion in the hands of party leaders they
have known for long time, turning
down the Democratic Mr. Hearst's kind
offer of guidance. They leaned if any
thing, to the conservative side
The Democrats proved their satisfac-
tion with existing conditions. Their
party unity was not marred by a large
Townsend vote, nor an overwhelming

Supposing a Congressman IN Ore
gon asked all the Townsend people
there to register as Republicans, and
still another Congressman in the
State of Washington should ask the
people to register as independents. 1t
requires no imagination to visualize
the resulting confusion. can think
of no better way of playing directly
into the hands of our political enemies.
National headquarters and the
Townsend people are not interested in
backing men who wish to head dele
cations to the major party conven-
tions. '"' We should have nothing
whatever to do with such matters. "''
"On March 20. national headquar-
ters released a statement which said
in unequivocal language that national
headquarters would not indorse any
one to head any presidential delega-
ton. But in spite Of this statement,
Mr.. McGroarty. solely on his own in
itiative and without official backing
of any nature from the Townsend
people. has gone right ahead. Ma
tional headquarters necessarily appre-
ciates what Representative McGroarty
has done to further the enactment Of
the Townsend plan into law. but ma
tional headquarters cannot undertake
to indorse the private political ambi-
tions of Representative McGroarty.
"I do not mean to be unfair to Con-
gressmen McGroarty, but I must be
fair to the Townsend people. Follow.
ing the primaries, national headquar-
ters may, In cooperation with the
Townsend clubs, indorse the presi-
Dental candidate who seems most dis
posed to lend his support to our plan,
but for the present such Endorsement
will be withheld Otherwise we shall
most certainly find ourselves in deep
political water.
1T is manifestly unfair to any one
to request our people to register out of
one party and into another because to
do this would be to betray many Of the
Congressman who have stood loyalty
by us.
Proud of Non -partisanship.
From the beginning we have prided
ourselves on being non-partisan. That
Is the chief source of our great
strength. Our nonpartisan policy has
thus far made 1t impossible for either
party to control our organization.
But the very moment we establish the
precedent Of registering out of the
Republican party into the Democratic
party, or vice versa, then we have
taken a political step which will un-
doubtedly lead to disaster. Partyism
has almost ruined America, and If we
do not guard our political activities
zealously partyism may ruin our Or
ganization or at least effectively check
its progress. We cannot too fire.
quently remind ourselves that the
votes Of both Democratic and Repub-
lican Congressman will be necessary to
enact our plan into law.
%" But the moment this policy
Is abandoned then we will be sub
jected to political pressure which will
leave us to the mercy Of the political
demagogues.
"The political policy of national

headquarters will remain unchanged.
Our consistent policy will be to urge
the Townsend people to register in
the party necessary for the election
of any given candidate. This
policy is expedient and eminently
fair. While the political policy of
national headquarters may not be
agreeable to a few. I am confident
the policy is conforming to the wishes
of the majority of the Townsend
people.
Finally, may I suggest that un-
less future bulletins or letters relating
TO political matters are signed by at
least a majority of the present Ma
tionai Board, including my own sig
nature, that all such bulletins or let
ters be ignored. This action Is nee
essary to protect both national head
quarters and the Townsend clubs"
AS for the proposed reorganization
of the Townsend business methods, 1t
was said that major attention is being
given the policy Of paying lucrative
commissions 10 regional OluCldIS. An
instance of this kind was touched
upon in the committee proceedings of
last week.
Also. Downey said this morning, the
executive policy is to be changed in
such a way as to decentralize such
"dictatorial" power as formerly was
held by Clements. With the enlarge
ment of the Board of Directors. he
pointed out, q division of authority
will be more practicable.
