United states at Longview in 1884,
but shortage of funds resulted in
i It's discOntinuance. DR.. Bateman
was graduated from Ohio University,
Athens, and received his advanced
degrees from Cornell and the Uni
lversity of Cincinnati, and his post
graduate at Northwestern Univer-
| sity. He is considered an excep-
| tionally able psychologist and is un-
usually we'll qualified to direct the
states largest institution for the
mentally ill., according to those who
have been associated with him.

| Ohio's new unemployment insur-
Iance law, passed by the general as
sembly Dec. Is, as an emergency
measure and now in effect, may be
obtained at the headquarters of the
Unemployment Insurance Commits
sion at 6S East Gay street Column
bus, it was announced by Charles s.
Leasure, chairman of the commits
sion. Mr.. Leasure pointed out that
lconfusion exists in the minds of
Imany concerning federal social Sc
lcurity legislation which leyies on
employer and employe for pension
payments after the age of e5, and
Ohio's new unemployment insurance
law, which has no connection with
the federal system and which col
lects from only the employer for
benefit of the possible unemployed
employe. Mr.. Leasure, prior to his
lconnection with the commission,
was counsel to the governor. The
two other members of the commits
sion are w. T. Roberts of Bridge
port. representing labor, and Walter
lJ. Mackey, of Canton, who repre-
sents the employer.
A total revenue of $55,79S,7S1
was produced during 1886 as the re-
lsuIt of the operation of the three
percent retail sales tax law, accord
ing to data compiled in the office of
State Treasurer Clarence H. Knisley.
The sum was more than S9,000,00O
in excess of the amount received in
1895, the first year of the tax. How
lever, in 1895, the law was not effec-
tive until January 27, SO that a
months receipts were lost The
elimination of the tax on food pur-

STATE CAPITAL NEWS LETTER

'The realization of the start of a
life ambition to materially aid the
mentally ILL.," This is the way DR..
j. Fremont Bateman views his ap-
pointment as superintendent of the
Columbus state hospital to succeed
the late DR.. w. NJ. Pritchard. Dr..
Bateman, who is only 80, is recOg-
nized nationally in his field of medi-
cal endeayor. He served as assist
ant superintendent of Longview state
hospital in Cincinnati until his new
appointment by Governor Martin L..
Davey. One of his chief and most
important interests will be toward
the education of the public in gen
eral in methods of preventing men
tai diseases. DR.. Bateman hopes to
revive the postgraduate school for
assistant physicians of Ohio's state
hospitals as basic approach toward
a bigger and more detailed mental
hygiene program. He organized the
first school of this type in the

Experts Confident
OF Making Winter
Flying More Safe

WASHINGTON, May 6. U.P)-Bu-
reau Of Air Commerce officials ex-
pressed confidence today that new
regulations and experiments will
make winter flying safer than at
any time in aviation history.
Following one of commercial avia-
tons most disastrous winters, the
bureau is working to remove the
perilouS aspects of cold weather
flying, revealed in Investigations of
seven of the eight fatal crashes
since midDecember.
Corrective measures include:
|. PRONUNCIATION of "a rule requir-
ing all commercial aircraft to be
equipped with shielded loop an
tennas. The shield Will insure
against interrupted radio reception
due to ice on the antenna. 1t will
also eliminate to large extent stat
ic induced by electrically charged
snow and rain particles.
2. Requirement that all CONNER
cial aircraft be equipped with radio
direction finders to aid in blind fly
ing when radio beam transmission
or reception fails.
3. improvement and expansion Of
weather reporting and transmitting.

electrical equipment at Brawlev recently
installed by reimbursing District for it's
cash outlay incurred to date in the con-

ditional rural lines as an R.E.A. project. if
such application is approved.
7. Corporation will file it's written as
sent with the California Railroad Commits
sion that future rates in Imperial Valley
shall be based upon the cost of energy
purchased from All-American canal plants
with no consideration for cost of power
from other sources except for standby pur-
poses or to the extent energy is required
to supplement that so purchased, and that
standby power cost as included in the rates
shall not exceed the cost of equivalent
standby from an adequate diesel generat-
ing plant located in the Valley.
8. AS an assurance of the fulfillment bv
the Corporation of it's obligation over a 40
year period to purchase the electrical out
put of the Districts hydro generating
plants above referred to, the Corporation
Will agree that in case of default on it's

the Valley, at its fair or full cash value
thereof as may be determined at the time
by the California Railroad Commission.
without allowance for severance DAMAGE
Operating under the foregoing nlan with
water flows as shown bv latest estimates
of the United States Bureau of Reclaim
ton, our engineers estimate the Canal
Plants will over 40 year period show ag
gregate net earnings of S27 7o3 100 over
and above all power plant costs. including
operation, depreciation interest and amor
tization of power loan from the P.WA.
This amount to accrue to the District
from DOLUer sales UiIi be sufficient to
meet the entire cost of the construction of
the AH-Anserican Canal of S26.7IOpOO
based upon latest estimates of the United
States Bureau of Reclamation and UiH be
aUailable so as to meet all Canal payments
as they fall due.
Imperial Valley press., 1937-05-07

With these objectives we are in hearty
sympathy but are satisfied the first and
most important of these cannot be obtained
through the service of the Valley by COM
peting agencies. Before an irrevocabe de-
cision has been made we have endeavored
to evolve new plan of settlement that will
attain the wishes of the people in connec-
tiOn with the development of All-Ameri-
can Canal power and at the same time
avoid the waste and losses incident to the
competitive power plan now contemplated.
The new plan as hereinafter set forth is
simple in character, unconditional in its
terms and with but few assumptions, most
of these being taken from District esti-
mates. The revenues to accrue to the Dis
trict are easily verified, being based upon
water flows in the Canal as estimated by
Reclamation Service and load estimates
set up on much more conservative basis
than those assumed by the District in it's
earnings studies.
The large earnings shown for Canal
power are only made possible by the Cor
poration's undertaking to purchase energy
greatly in excess of the demands of Impe-
rial Valley and on basis that will permit
the sale of every kilowatt-hour the plants
are capable of generating with the water
flows as shown in the latest estimates of
the Bureau of Reclamation.
The plan, if carried out, pe believe tUiH
assure net pOUer revenues from AU-Ameri-
can Canal Plants sufficient not OnIy to
meet interest and amortization charges on
the proposed p0Uer loan from, the Govern
ment, bM also to cOUer the construction
costs of The AH-Americdn Canal charge
able against The District as the payments
faH due.
The plan will provide for substantially
complete electrification of the rural areas
and carry the assent of the Corporation
that rates in Imperial Valley be primarily
based upon cost of power from the ALL
American Canal. 1t wholly avoids duplica-
ton of power facilities and the mainten-
ance of dual organizations, in fact, it is
only by eliminating such unnecessary ex-
penses that the plan is made possible.
We suggest that this new cooperative
plan be submitted to an impartial and in
dependent engineer for study and re-
port carrying recommendations, with the
understanding that such report be made
available to the people of the Valley as
soon as completed. We further suggest
that an engineer to be appointed by the
California Railroad Commission, the Cali
fOrnia District Securities Commission, or
the United States Bureau of Reclamation
be selected to act in such capacity, or if
the District may prefer, that a representa-
tive appointed by each of said agencies be
requested to act jointly in the matter.
We finally ask that the people of the
Valley be given an opportunity before fl
nal decision is made to vote directly upon

Mr.. Vests Letter
Following is full text of a let
ter .Uritten May S to the directors
of Imperial Irrigation District: >

To the Board of Directors of the
Imperial Irrigation District,
Ell Centro, California.
GENTLEMEN:
Imperial Valley is now threatened with
the .paralleling of distribution lines and
duplication of power facilities costing mil
lions of dollars, and with the setting up
of competing organizations to render
service already adequately supplied.
The public has everything to lose and
nothing to gain from such a program 1t
involves largely increasing a District debt
already in excess of the ability of the tax
payer to carry, the cluttering up of streets
and alleys with wholly unnecessary poles
and lines and largely increased cost Of
service which will ultimately result in
higher rates than would be possible to a
single agency operating with half the in
veStment and serving the entire business
through one organization. These facts we
believe to be self-evident.
On June last we proposed to your
Board plan for the settlement of the
power controversy carrying an option to
purchase our local power facilities at the
end of eight years. This proposal is now
withdrawn both by reason of its uncondi-
tional rejection by your Board and because
of subsequent events at Brawley, where
competition between the District and Cor
poration service for nearly year has dem
onstrated that ajority of the consumers
desire to retain the Corporations service.
The signing up of long-term merchan-
disc contracts by 5819o of the Company's
residential consumers throughout the val
ley and of three year contracts by 49, of
it's large commercial consumers indicates
the sentiment Of our customers through
out the entire District.
In view of this situation under no cir
cumstances will the Corporation volun-
tarily dispose of it's electrical properties
or retire from the power business in I'M
perial Valley.
We recognize that the people of the Val
ley have looked forward to the develop
ment of power on the All-American Canal
with three hopes in mind: first, that it
woud d materially Tighten, if not re-
lieve them entirely from the burden of
meeting the great cost of the canal; second,
that it would give them the advantage of
power rates primarily based upon Canal
power costs rather than cost of service
from outside sources, and third, that it
would make possible more complete ru-
raj electrification throughout the Valley.
