Modesto District
Cuts Taxes 18th
Consecutive Year

Imperial Irrigation District Off
cials Friday received with interest
the news that profits from sale of
public power by the Modesto Ir-
rigation District have enabled that
district to cut taxes for the four
teenth consecutive year.
There is no reason why Imperial
cannot do as well or better" said a
letter from a Modesto taxpayer
Modesto had the Pacific Gas and
Electric company to fight. You
have a much smaller concern op-
ptsing you but probably more
annoying"
In notifying Modesto taxpayers
of the rate slash, Modesto district
directors said:
I'VE wish to call to your attention
the reduction this year of 16 cents
per 500 assessed value in your tax
rate. This is in line with our ef-
fort to consistently lower taxes. The
rate has been reduced from S640 in
1924 to $3.50 for the coming year.
"The reduction of $3.50 per S100
OF assessed value has been made
possible by the profits from sale
Of electricity. If it were not for
this. your irrigation taxes would be
over twice as high as they now are.
1t is thereore to your interest to see
that only Modesto Irrigation Dis
trict electricity is used on your
property, in order that taxes and
electricity rates may be still further
reduced"

NEAR FUTURE. SAYS BABSON

either gold Or goods. The strain.
therefore, on foreign exchange is
terrific This means that Europe
is heading for more and more in
flation.
If Europe does not fall off a war
precipice, she VIII certainly get
buried in an initiation landslide.
I would not have a dollar invest
ed anywhere in Europel Economi-
cally the outlook is very black.
Furthermore, in the long run, the
United States and Canada must
suffer with Europe and initiate
also.
I do not agree with many people
that a World War is now imminent
Without a spiritual awakening it
will come some day, but the fear
that it could destroy civilization,
regardless of who wins, makes
every nation mortally afraid of it.
As long as those who remember
the World War remain in control
of nations, the probabilities are
that we have nothing to fear. pro-
vided we will KEEP WELL-ARM-
ED AND WELL-PROTECTED.
Keeping well-armed means that
every city near the sea-coast of
the United States must protect it
self against the most modern dead
ly war weapon-bombing planes
We should build shelters" for our
people. Every home should have
bomb-proof and gas-proof room
in its basement. Every attic should
be made fire-proof, fire patrols
should be organized in every city,
particularly those on our Pacific
Coast. The easiest and surest way
to keep Japanese bombing planes
away from Seattle and San Fran
cisco is for Japan to knolx that
every western home is bomb
proof.
Yes, am writing very seriously.
The worlds real Number One Enc
my is Japan. Our best defense is
to back up England in her foreign
policy. She is the only world po-
liceman' we can trust today. We
must give her courage and moral
support-although we must urge
her to give Germany's claims very
careful consideration.

Niemen river rather than westerly
across the Rhine or southeasterly
across the Danube. BY working in
this direction. Germany enlarges
her bread-basket without offending
either France or Italy.
Baltic Expansion Logical
Some think that Germany may
strike north to Norway and Sweden
or possibly seize Holland and
Denmark since she has recently
guaranteed the sanctity of Belgium.
1 do not agree with this. Germany
cannot afford to incur the enmity
of these Scandinavian and adjoin-
ing nations. She needs their fish,
meat. and dairy products as well
as their iron, lumber, and alumni
mum. Besides, England and France
would at once fight Germany if
she went to the west or north,
Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia. and
possibly a part of Poland seem the
most logical goals of Der Hitler.
Not only would these small coun-
tries add to the Fatherland's food
supply, but the possession of their
ports would enable Hitler to bottle
up the Russian Communists by
sea. This would be necessary if
Germany ever hopes to take the
Ukraine from Russia later, when,
as, and if, Russia and Japan go
to war against each other. OF
course, Germany eyes Czechoslova-
kia, Rlimanla, and Yugoslavia en-
viously, but so does II Duce.
Hence, 1 believe that the Little
Entente is safe for the present.
But good night" to those othe<
little nations which Woodrow
Wilson formed in 1920!
Germany is a great homogeneous
nation of 67,000,000 people. Her
leaders have made many mistakes.
I cannot defend their attitude as
to war, or the Jews, or the church,
On the other hand. the nation is
self-contained -, brave, intelligent,
and proud. England, Germany, and
Russia are destined to be the three
greatest nations of Europe. France
has already passed her zenith and
is fast declining in manhood and
influence. England, spread out all
over the world, has her hands full
and will do almost anything to
avoid war. She has everything to
lose and nothing to gain by con-
flict.
Hence, 1 say, Forget Spain
but watch Germany" As long
as Hitler and Mussolini can hold
the confidence of their people
there need be no fear of a World
War. They will hold this conf
dence as long as the economic
conditions within their nations
are not too bad.
When food becomes scarce and
taxes unbearable. however, their
people will revolt and a war of
desperation" will follow. This is
some time Off Such a revolt should
not occur in both Germany and
Italy at the same time. HITLER
AND MUSSOLINI ARE ONLY
PAPER ALLIES. METH e r
TRUSTS THE OTHER.
Armament Race Initiation
OF course, the present re-arma-
ment race cannot continue indefi-
nitely. Preparing for war today is
tremendously more expensive than
it was 25 years ago. Men can be
drafted; but bombing planes, arm
ored motor tanks, and 30-knot air.
plane carriers must be bought with
