Bruce Cation Says:>
Abolition Of Poverty Would Enrich America

If the republic should decide to
take seriously Mr.. Roosevelt's in
augural plea for abolition of pow
erty, it is going to have an interest
ing time of it during the next gen.
Grafton or so.
1t may not make much money
out of it. but ii will keep awfully
busy. For abolishing poverty is not
a matter of getting money into
pockets SO much as of putting shoes
on feet. coats on backs, houses on
vacant lots, and good food in pinch
cd stomachs. And we just natur-
ally have not. as of today, enough
of these things to do the job.
All of which simply means that
if we are going TO go ahead and
abolish poverty-which is just an
other way of saying that we would
equip everyone in America with

The administration has as yet no long g-tilie
proposal to apply in the wake OF tne ca'aseIU- "!,
phe But certain strong active group WHICH
in the past has often exerted great lniiuelce
in its policies will urge plans for high dams
ON the headwaters of the Ohio and other rivers

There is reason to believe that such general
program will appeal to Roosevelt, II ne not
already considering it.
It's promotion means struggle between pro-
gressive. liberal forces here and the conserva-

less persons probably has made it Impossible
to cut relief rolls.
Foes of the power trust" are prepared to
charge that opposition of power companies TO
erection of high dams in headwaters OF tne
Ohio has been a factor in the recent Hood
damage This opposition is attributed to fear
that presence of dams adaptable for the pur-
nose would be a temptation for public power
development Also whenever dams were erect
cd for water control purposes, power companies
iobbied against any attempt TO make them
productive of electricity.
Since money invested could not be recovered
through power sales, success of such LOBBYING
naturally discouraged building OF dams winch
could have ameliorated floods. On the other
hand. dams built by private power companies
have been constructed as cheaply as possible
and for the sole purpose of generating electricity
Chairman Arthur Morgan OF IVA, whose
amiable attitude toward private power compa-
nies has been repudated by Roosevelt during
q long career in handling flood control projects
always insisted his dams mustn't be USED Tor
power Army engineers have insisted SO firmly
on "one purpose dams" that 1t took Roosevelt
six months to make them put pentroughs IN
the Tygart dam in West Virginia.

BRINGING ALL
THE NEWS TO
IMPERIAL
VALLEY
NOV SETTLE DOWN
TO RTfSyNESS

As this is written the Imperial Irri-
cation Distric election is under way.
Votes are being cast which will decide
the wishes of the public on issues hash
ed over in campaigns for the last three
weeks. The decision has been made.
Only one thing remains.
Whoever wins, they will be represen-
tatives of majority of voters in the
irrigation district. Under the rules of
fair play they will represent, as the
choice of the majority, the entire pub
lie. As such they are entitled to the
cooperation of the entire public, free
from petty pickering and strife. If they
go contrary to public wishes at any time,
there is adequate remedy provided by
law. Until they do, they are fully. en-
titled to the benefit of the doubt Now
that the election is settled, it is time
TO settle down to business again.
The history of the irrigation district
has been marked with strife, oftener
than not detrimental to the district. For
once, let us abandon petty politics, work
ing together for the things we know to
be the best interests of the whole valley.
Some things are matters of public
policy oft repeated. They include de-
vclopment of public power on the All
American canal, settlement of bonded
Indebtedness in the interests of the tax
payer, and business administration of
the district The men on the district
board would be unfaithful to the trust
placed in them if they denied the pub
lie wish for these things.
The public would be unfaithful to
itself if it refused cooperation after it
had elected its officers.
With the interlude of red-hot politics
out of the way, it is time for full speed
ahead in district operations.
Imperial Valley press., 1937-02-03

all the necessities and fair smat-
tering of the luxuries-we are going
to have a boom such as we never
dreamed of before.
Il n Is
Between the desire and it's ac-
complishment there is. of course a
huge gap. How a program of this
kind can be made to pay is a wide
open question. No producer, be he
a truck gardener or the head of
big automobile corporation, is go
ing to expand production unless he
thinks he will get some money for
it. r5
But the interesting thing, at this
moment, is the contemplation Of the
stupendous jump in production
which will take place If we do go
ahead and make abundance avail
able to everyone. - -
Mr.. Roosevelt remarked, for in
stance. that some millions of our
citizens live in homes that are sadly
below standard. A nation out to
abolish poverty would have TO begin
by replacing all those homes with
new ones. There is enough work
there TO keep the vast building in
dustry busy for many decades.
1t is easy enough to see what
would follow. Furniture factories,
makers of boots and shoes and
clothing. manufacturers of all kinds
of household appliances and gadgets,
producers of electricity, farmers.
stock raisers, cotton growers, shep-
herds-all these people would find
an unprecedented demand for their
output.
Makers of capital goods would
be busy night and day equipping
them; mines and forests and rail-
roads and shipyards would be busy
as never before.
1t makes pretty picture, and 1t
isn't spoiled by the cynical question
about who is going to pay for 1t
all. For the important fact is that
this tremendous market does exist,
potentially-and SO does the pro-
ductive capacity to meet it.
Since those things are true, it
is inevitable that we shall eventu-
ally find a way Of hooking demand
to capacity. For there is where
our industrial future really lies.
Not in overseas markets, not be-
low the equator, or on the far side
of the Pacific-but right at home,
where the richest nation in the
world has a dazzling chance to
treble its riches by distributing
them.

SOMETHING WRONG
IN THE TAX STRUCTURE

A study of federal and state income
tax requirements reveals some queer
facts. 1t reveals, in fact, things which
the taxpayer never would have guessed
if it had not been for the income tax
returns.
1t reveals that the sales tax on an
automobile is a tax on the retailer, not
on the consumer.
1t reveals that, in California, the fed
eral and state gasoline taxes are taxes
! on the distributor, not on the consumer
Many have under the misapprehension
: that the little item figured in on pur-
chase of an automobile as "sales tax"
and which was paid by the consumer"
was. really, the sales tax.
Just as many have believed in the
error of their ways that the extra cents
listed on gasoline pumps as state and
federal taxes-and which is figured in
ato the price paid by the consumer-are
in reality state and federal gasoline
lakes.
Yet the income tax department fig
res that you cannot deduct sales tax
rom your income because it is a tax
the distributor-not on you; and 1T
kures also that you cannot deduct the
leral and state gas taxes because
~ ere taxes on the distributor-not on

not vet learned that it is the consumer
