Our Fundamentals
Are Still Sound

The best argument we have yet seen
against radical changes in the American
form of government and way of doing
things is presented in the December is
sue of the Nations Business" magazine.
The approach to the subject is new and
refreshing.
Here's something to think about"
says the magazine. Every civilized coun-
try presents an immigration problem to
America, but America presents no i'm
migration problem to any other of the
50 countries on the globe. Boats leave
our shores every day filled with tourists
and travellers checks. But stowaways are
discovered by immigration officers on
every incoming ship
We need only to think a moment to
agree with the magazine also, that:
Let down the immigration bars for "a
hours, provide the ships-and the pas
sage money-and 100,000000 persons
would flock to this country from every
part of the world. They would abandon
family, friends and traditions of cen
turies for the promise and opportunity
this nation offers"
In these facts, true as they undoubt-
edly are, we have the best of all possible
arguments against adopting Commu-
nism Fascism, Hitlerism or any other
foreign method of government. Until
the world sees something new in the way
of government, ours is the best-and
the persons who want to Europeanize
us might so convince themselves if they
would live for time in the nations they
profess to admire so.

Getting More
For Our Money

Perhaps there is justice in the nu-
merous complaints we hear these days
about the high cost of building a home
or a business structure-but there is
also something else to consider. As a
matter of comparison, we are getting
more for our money when we build
today than we did in 1926 or 1929. Make
an actual comparison some day, if you
are unconvinced.
Go to home constructed in 1929 or
thereabouts. Study the lighting, the
plumbing, the construction itself. Look
at the provision for heating and cool
ing Notice the insulation.
Then choose a house constructed this
year for the same price. Notice the
same things. Compare the efficiency,
convenience and comfort of the two
homes.
There may be exceptions, but you will
find as a general rule that the homes
built today are far better than the homes
built for the same amount of money in
1926 or 1929
Yes, we are getting more for our
money in home construction these days.

Help to Curb
Petty Thievery

A housewife who stopped in the news
paper office the other day complained
during the course of conversation that
gardner employed by fieighbors had
stolen her newly purchased trash re-
cepticle, probably for resale to someone
for whom he does gardening work. She
was not particularly interested in pro-
scouting the man, but she wanted the
new trash receiver back.
This form of petty theft-for once the
name is appropriate-is all too common
in FL Centre. Yet it is a form of thievery
which can be stopped very easily. If
home owners would refuse TO buy these
articles from chance peddlers or from
gardners whom they cannot trust i'm
plicitly, there would be no more of such
aggraVating losses.

RED TAPE AND RED INK.

Boiling over Senator John B. McCoil, Secre-
tary of the Central Valley Project association,
finally speaks his mind regarding the intermin-
able delays in construction OF Californias deS-
perately-needed government-approved Central
Valley Project.
Unless some energetic public official. with
mind trained to see major obectives, rather
than governmental technicalities, steps in and
cuts the red tape now strangling the project,
s20,OO00O0 in federal funds may be lost, warns
Senator McCoI, and the whole project may prove
to be mirage in desert.
Already he figures, S16,000000 in federal

national treasury due to inaction. The s20000,

to use it. as designated for vtaly needed con-
struction-may NkewiSe be called back. And
meanwhile hundreds of California farmers

Central Valley water!
We know little of the technicalities involved
We know no one on which to place the blame
The persons responsible may be in Washington,
or they may be in California, in western
headquarters at Denver. But we do know that
If the p. @. and E., the Southern California
Edison, had been constructing Central Valley
it would be built and operating! And when it
is considered that government today is in the
habit of decryng private business and urging
expansion of public enterprise, that fact has
considerable significance. Red tape, i'm this
instance, means red ink-for all California. And
it is time our statesmen and government ad-
ministrators recognized that they look sad
