AGAIN THE STORM DRAIN

Twice the matter of a storm drain
for Ell Centre has been put before the
public. Twice it has been defeated. Now
comes word that petitions calling for
third submission of the project have
been turned over to the city. 1t is not
vet known when the vote will take place.
Sooner or later, FL Centro will have
its storm drain. Not even the opponents
will deny that whether this year or ten
years hence it is bound to come. Nor
will they deny that absence of storm
drain today handicaps real estate va
lues and community growth.
1t is possible that the two recent de-
feats of the issue have resulted from
lack of energy on the part of all agen-
cies. in advising the average voter of the
full merits of the drain. This time 1t
is to be hoped that full and energetic
action be so taken as to call out con-
elusive, heavy vote, so that final EXPIRES
sion can be obtained. 1t is also to be
hoped that the need be so presented IN
its true light, as to cause passage oil
the proposal by strong maj Jorlty.

At various times during past years,
reports have come that Mexico will con-
meet MeXicali and Mexico City by rail.
Today there are new indications that
this long heralded event may materialize
in the near future.
We hope the report is true. Develop
ment, whether here or below the line,
will aid all parts of this area. Import
ant business and commercial adjust
ments would necessarily have to take
place, but these would be only tempo
rarily inconvenient Baja California,
Imperial Valley in Mexico, the gulf
shoreline, all have great potentialities.
A railroad would help open them up to
settlement and developmnt. One finds
it interesting to ponder the possibility
of the Cardenas government creating a
gulf seaport as is reported. One also
finds it interesting to ponder the thought
that the u S. government might make
Yuma an inland seaport if it tried. That
time will probably come but not in the
immediate future.

A TRIBUTE TO BANKING

When it comes to big banking queS-
tions and financial manipulatiOns and
questions of national and international
banking policies, most of us confess ut
ter lack of understanding. We are con-
tent to make frank acknowledgment of
this lack of wisdom, because most of the
bigwigs, the New York money experts,
and such men as Brisbane Babson, the
head of the Bank of England and lots
of others like them, confess that they do
not understand fully the ways of none
tary media.
Recently, however, the Reserve Board
raised reserve requirements IN what Is
termed a test of the value of the new
banking machinery provided by the
Banking Act of 1885. There are two
important results which are thoroughly
understandable. One is that the major
ity of banking experts seem to be strong
ly in favor of the new and radical move
ment, including Donald Campbell, pres
ident of the Chase National Bank The
Importance lies in the fact that bankers
at least seem to agree with financial
policy, even in projected experimental
ton.
The second and possibly most inter-
esting observation lies in the fact that
to meet the new requirements, which
will become effective by August 18th, all
member banks in the United States are
able to meet the requirements today,
with the exception of only about 130
scattered across the country.
What a change this is in the national
financial and banking picture since three
years ago! The purpose of this is not
to infer that the great improvement IS
because of, or in spite of, national poll
tics. The purpose is to rejoice that the
storm has abated and that we seem to
have fair financial sailing ahead.

IT'S ABOUT TINE

The California Legionnaire points out
that a million or more veterans were
quick to cash in on the bonus certifi-
Gates, but have been conspicuous by their
absence when it came to helping the
legion fight the battle which got the
bonus.
The value of the case is that it eXem-
plifies the existence of chiselers on a
grab off all they can get. Chiselers off
the government are as thick as grass
hoppers in the drought areas. It's time
that we start clamping down and teach
the other fellow as we'll as ourselves,
that government is not perpetual fin
ancial milch COW.

cow-and that somebody is the tax pay

WASHINGTON.-Despit Mr. Farley's ebul-

velt will carry 48 states all the keener planners
Of the New Deal campaign agree that the con-
test is going to be close.
There is not now among them any vestige
of once somewhat prevalent belief that their
ticket would have a walkaway The last OF
that disappeared when Democratic insiders
learned that the American Institute of Public
Opinions poll would indicate popular majority
of only 518 per cent for Roosevelt with an
indicated electoral college majority for Lam
don Of 272 TO 259.
Politicians in both parties are watching
this and ether polls like so many hawks. Re
publican jubilation is intense over charted evil
dence that preference for Roosevelt over their
candidate dropped with astonishing speed fol-
lowing Landon's nomination. They are sure
this is the beginning OF a great trend, which
will decide the issue.

The spectacle OF a candidate winning
plurality of the popular vote and losing the
presidency through defeat in the electoral col
lege isn't anything you see very often But 1t
can happen very easily, especially if there's
third party ticket at large.
So far it has happened only to Democratic
candidates and it could happen only TO RooSe-
welt this year, since enormous Democratic ma
iorities in the south can pile up popular vote
which may be discounted by close results in big
northern states

Some Democratic politicians claim to be
