VEGETABLE MEN
HOLD MEETING
AT BRAWLEY


Plans for an initiative measure
to compel employment of not less
than 90 per cent citizens of the
United States in all industry and
agriculture, were perfected at
meeting in Veterans Memorial hall
in Brawley Monday night.
The gathering was sponsored by
the Fruit and Vegetable Packers
Association and was attended by
business and professional men
from ali sections of Imperial VAL
ley.
A permanent committee COM
posed OF two Representatives each
of the groups composed CT busl-
nessmen, fraternal order members,
ex-servicemen, women's clubs and
the Fruit and Vegetable Packers
association of California, was sell
ected during the evening and OF
ficers were elected.
The appointed committee is eX-
pected to frame an Initiative law
to go en- the ballot next November
at the state general election. The
law is expected to be framed so
that the burden OF proof Of citi-
zenship rests with employer and
employe alike with each equally
responsible for violations Of the
law. Penalties for violation also
are expected TO pe included. En-
forcement of the law is proposed
to be vested in the State Labor
commission.
Compulsory fingerprinting also
is planned to be required OF all
aliens in California within 80 days
after the raw becomes effective
The compulsory fingerprinting al
so is to be required OF all aliens
entering the United States. Aliens

forcement authorities, positive

ed number Of voters ii order tc

tive measure on the ballots II
November.

VALUATIONS OF
LAND REDUCED

more than the cost of delivery OF
water to the companies. In 1928
the district absorbed the water
companies and undertook to deliver
water to ranchers and water users.
The district officials soon realized
that the valuations were unequal on
the $l00 basis and during good
times raised the valuations on the
land deemed better to $3.50 an
acre. Valuations then were graded
down from the $3.50 peak. The tax
rate was fixed at $5 per $l00 valua-
ton, Miss Barry explained, and
water was provided free to the
land.
After the depression came, res
identS could not pay their assess
mentS and the delinquencieS be-
gan to pile up. In 1882 the district
changed its policy and charged for
water at the rate of 90 cents per
acre foot and reduced the rate to
$1.50 per $100 valuation. This was
discovered TO be too low for op-
Grafton so the rate gradually was
raised to $40, where it stands
now
During the period the $l00 flat
valuation was in effect, the district
took county valuations on city
property. In 1923, discrepancies be-
came SO obvious that the district
board and the county supervisors
ordered a complete revaluation OF
all city property. This basis was
used by both county and district
in valuing city property since that
date.
Conditions changed SO greatly
during the last three years, Miss
Barry continued, that the differ
ence between the actual cash value
and the assessed value broadened
to such an extent that she had her
staff devote considerable time to
a revaluation of city property. She
said she planned to make reduc-
tions there as we'll as on the coun-
try property.
Inherited Rates
Miss Barry said she inherited ali
the high valuations when she be-
came assessor in 1881 at
time when the inability of the peo-
pie to pay the assessments became
noticeable. She announced that she
realized the valuations were too
high and each year she had filled
the office, she had made reductions
where the valuations were most
notably out of line. 1t was found
necessary, she explained, to reduce
the valuations in some cases ana
increase it in others.
AS soon as the properties were
equalized on a high basis, she
deemed that time wise to step down
to a lower basis.
Miss Barry said she always
maintained the flat rate was OF no
value to anyone and by the same
means flat cut would be of no
value. With this idea in mind, the
whole picture of district lands was
studied and reductions made to
property entitled to reduction.

Northrup explained that the city

his product and therefore only min

the dairy industry will be legislated

Since milk is on absolute neces-
Sity to infant human life Northrup
continued the supply should be
protected and because it is not a
mere local problem, the selfishness,
reconsideration and over jealous
ness of some individuals, groups,
