News Behind the News
job Hogs =. Taxpayers Goats to Make
Work >. Unemployment Census ;.
Held Too Costly :.

wASHINGTON-Job-ho ruled Congress to
the last, even in such a vital national problem
that of unemployment relief
As result, taxpayers will contribute some
S5,000,000 for an unemployment census which ap-
pears to be little more than q aeFice for seeing
to 1t that Democratic congreSsneu Will have
few temporary JOBS TO hand out around pri-
mary time next year
Congressman Maury Maverick of Texas had
bill which supported by Harry Hopkins
and by both conservatives and liberals. 1t car
rieo precious little patronage and planned
TO cost only $4,000. It called for creation of
high grade unemployment commission which
would have studied unemployment and relief
problems and recommended long range pro-
gram to Congress Maverick proposed this ques-
ton be answered: How are all going to
make nving?"
But the word got around that the proposal
for S5,000000 census would mean about 20
jobs for every congressman The President for
some unknown reason decided he would like a
voluntary census So the House leaders. when
Maverick wasn't looking. quietly slipped through
Senate bill providing for a census to be taken
before April /. II was a small but welcome
last-day gravy boat. The S5o00,000 will come
from WPA funds.
A genuine census of the unemployed. it is
conceded, would cost about s65,oo00OO
The census as authorized is so silly as to
warrant a wager that the act providing it will
be repealed altered before the date on which
it is scheduled to go into effect.
Vice President Jack Garner and Senator Pat
Harrison were having conversation in the Demo-
cratic coakroom.
As a senator's secretary passed he overheard
them talking about the last baseball game. But
as soon as they supposed he had passed earshot,
the conversation changed
Il think the President would be a fool to
veto this sugar bill" said Pat
You bet!" exclaimed the vice president
Henry Cabot Lodge the 35-year-old senator
from Massachusetts, the only Republican
member to vote consistently for the wage-hour
bill. Senator Jim Davis of Pennsylvania voted
for passage, but marred his record from organ
lied labors standpoint by voting to recommit
the bill at time when recommittal would have
meant the measures death for the session.
Well, of course, said most accounts of this
unusual incident that meant that Massachusetts,
mill owners and other manufacturers wanted
higher wages paid in the south they could
compete easier and Henry Cabot was only
following the dictates of industriasts in his
home state.
The fact is that hardly any New England
manufacturers were in favor of the wage-hour
bill (although the administration had expected
nearly all OF them to applaud) and that Lodge
has been receiving a pile of letters from Mas
sachusettS induStrialists who call him everything
from a Softhead to a "bolshevik.'

TIMELY DRIVE ON CRIMINAL ALIEN
long Beach Press -Telegraml

Congress recently started another highly de-
sirable movement, directed toward the deporta-
ton of undesirable aliens. The house has passed
a bill which, if approved. would have permitted
the expulsion from this country of 5000 known
foreigners who during the past five years have
been convicted Of various crimes.
The proposed law is not quite so drastic as
this brief summary of it may imply. Modifying
powers are vested in the secretary Of labor. Nor
is the projected act SO sweeping first framed
by its author. Representative Dies OF Texas.
Exemptions would be limited, which is of
those inconsistencies that so often develop in
compromises. The test of a criminal aliens
undesirability should not be the number of
others in his class who have been favored or
unfavored by the administration of the law
However incomplete the sitting process may
be, the fact that the problem has been taken up
by congress is indicative of awakening to the
dangers that hide in the laxity of the nations
immigration and deportation rules
In the good old days of tradition, the OPP
pressed people of other lands looked toward the
United States of America as a haven against
despots a region of opportunity for liberty
ard individual progress Too often, in later
times. these privileges have been sought by the
evil minded American penitentiaries are filled
with aliens to whom the land of freedom meant
license to prey upon unsuspecting good natured
citizens of the country that gave them welcome.

FAIR DAYS

September 3-12 are the days when
California goes on full dress parade.
And what a show California will put
on
A state bigger than many nations,
ranging northWard a thousand miles
from Mexico to the Oregon Cascades,
possessing some 24,000,000 cultivable
acres of land, California's $4,000 square
miles nourish every variety of product
in the nation.
The great ten days Fair at Sacramen-
to will tell the world with colorful ex-
hibits and pageantry, all about Califor-
MAS S600,000,000 agricultural industry,
our manufactures, mining, education,
newspapers, printing, dairy products,
and livestock.
There's good reason for believing this
states greatest of annual shows will
surpass all past ones. Farm prosperity
is generally moving steadily, consistently,
upward. So is manufacturing. OutlOoks
for fall trade are excellent. Much of
this progress is due, in large measure,
to the fact that markets for California's
amazingly rich variety of produce are
continually expanding This, in turn,
makes California's wealth of resources
available to ever increasing numbers
of buyers through the growing populari-
ty of direct producer-to-consumer me-
thods of distribution Nationwide store
groups, with their thousands of retail
outlets scattered through the length and
breadth of the land, have been a potent
force in multiplying the wealth of this
state because they have built greater
markets for Californias produce and cut
the price spread between producer and
buyer.
SO now that Fair days are almost here,
it's the time for every town, county, and
citizen, to build their names by building
California's. Let's all be there at the
Fair!

Mystery Death
Victim Believed
Slugged, Robbed

Joe Bailey Marsh, tractor opera
tor and truck driver who died OF
head wounds at the county hospital
Friday, had been slugged, robbed
and thrown into a canal, investi-
eating officers said.
The man was found in a semi
conscious condition in the railway
yards at BraWley. He was taken
to headquarters for questioning by
police and later taken to the county
hospital. He was unable to tell
what had happened to him.
Officers thus far have been trac-
ing Marsh's from his rooming house
at Calipatria to Brawley in an
attempt to ascertain what happened
to him. He was believed to have
had some money on his person
when last seen by friends.
An inquest was scheduled for 3
o'clock Monday afternoon at the
Lemons mortuary. The body will
be sent to Weatherford, Tex, for
burial. Marsh is a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. H. Marsh of the Texas city
and came to Imperial Valley a year
ago.

San Francisco Up
In Arms Because
Of HarbOr Slight

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug, 80 CUP)
San Francisco's Chamber of Com
merce, its civic boosters and its
newspapers rose in wrath today at
what was termed a slight to the
Importance of the city's world FAM
ed harbor in the September issue
Of Fortune Magazine.
Charles Page, executive vice
president of the chamber, wired the
editor of the magazine that an arti-
Gle entitled Eight u. S. Ports" in
which San Francisco bay was not
mentioned was $50 discriminatory
against San Francisco that it is
difficult to believe its misrepresen-
tations were unintentional."
Reference to the port of Los An
geles as the "the stronghold of in
tercoastal shipping" and "a head
ache to San Francisco because OF
It's predominance in u. S. inter-
coastal shipping" drew particular
fire.

IS THERE ENOUGH POETRY
IN OUR LIVES?

This year, as in previous years. the
California Writer'S Guild is sponsoring
a poetry contest for cash prizes. The
contest ends September 1st, which will
give valley aspirants ample time to send
their entries to 6413 West Sixth street.
Los Angeles.
Imperial Valley has some real poetic
talent, both young and old. Hardly a
day passes but that contributions come
to the editorial office of newspapers,
and some of the efforts have exceptional
merit
There can be no higher avocation than
the desire to create poetry = nor can
there be a more demanding task master.
1t calls for the most expert use of our
language, and the most penetrating
thought. To meet its high purpose. poetry
must picture its subject better than it
can be painted or interpreted in prose.
1t should convey in a few brief lines, the
entire thought and emotion for which
prose must employ lengthy thesis and
description.
Newspapers seldom use poetry. 1t
might be the best thing for everyone if
each page of the daily paper were to
carry some local effusion or classic mas
terpiece with which to lend heart and
soul to the diet of daily reading. There
is much too little poetry, either in spirit
or print, in our daily lives. We need a
great deal more to give the proper values
to the art of living.
Let's see if Imperial Valley bards can
place" in the statewide contest.

The average radio listener, sit
ting sleepily before his loud-speak-
er. is only barely conscious Cf he
notices it at alb of those oft-re-
peated words I'VE will now listen to
a recording by electrical trans
scription. -
Every time those words come over
the air, the listener is getting not
only music by a phonograph re-
cord but also, right along with it,
he is getting a concrete example OF
chronological unemployment 1t is
an example that means a living to
musicians.
The American Federation OF
Musicians considers the playing
over the air of recordings SO seri-
Gus a threat to employment of its
members that it has threatened
strike on Sept. 16 unless a working
arrangement with broadcaSting sta
tions is concluded. 1t asks such con-
troll over the broadcasting of re-
cordings as will make certain the
employment of many more musl-
clans than are now at work.
The musicians union would allow
no radio station to play records or
electrical transcriptions unless that
station was hiring a number OF
musicians satisfactory to the union.
Union members would not be al
lowed to play for stations trans
hitting to other stations which do
not hire enough musicians to sat
isfy the union. They could play
for stations using recordings only
if they were used nuder a set OF
stringent regulations laid down by
the union. The AIM also insists on
a number of stringent regulations
enforced on recordings companies,
or it will not allow its members to
make any recordings.
%
This is fair example of the
jam into which chronological pro-
gress is leading industry after in
dustry, and an equally good exam
pie of how necessary it is that work
able compromises be made in all
such cases For thre is much justice
on both sides of this controversy.
A musician who plays a piece
sees it recorded And then through
out the rest of his musical life he
hears that same recording pop
ping up and taking his place in
spots where he would otherwise
have another job. You can't hate
the musicians for wanting some
restrictions on a mechanical COM
petitor which uses their own music
! to take away their jobs.
! A small broadcaSting station
finds recordings generally as salts
factory as live musicians for much
of its program and much cheaper
Along comes the union and insists
that it hire 10 musicians to sit and
tWiddle their thumbs while the re-
cording of good band is played On
the air. You can't hate the radio
stations for wanting just as little
