El Centre is much under-housed
and opportunities were never SO IA
vorable for building construction.
In a statement made Saturday,
Havekorst directs attention to the
willingness of building and loan
associations and banks generally to
make loans for housing, and of the
liberal terms and low interest rate
offered by the Federal Housing ad-
ministration to government insured
building loans.
Many persons" said Havekorst,
do not realize the friendliness of
lending agencies, the banks and
building and loan associatios, to
encourage building loans"

Citrus Trees to
Be Exempt From
Taxation in 1897

Valley citrus trees will be exempt
ed from taxation this year, said
Dan West, county collector,
this action being taken to aid
growers who suffered such damage
in the severe frosts of January,
and whose future crop will prob
ably be cut down by the freeze.
This exemption will result in a
25 per cent approximate reduction
in taxes for owners OF citrus lands.
Other counties recently took sim
liar action.
With the warm weather of the
past few days citrus trees look 100
per cent better as new growth is
coming out, and much apparently
dead wood is showing signs of life.
Trees are beginning to bloom, and
this blossoming is about three weeks
late. How much fruit will be set
is still a matter of conjecture. Prun-
ing should not take place until
June, at the earliest, said Frank
c. Beyschlag, farm advisor.

The chamber of commerce presi-
dent pointed out that in Ell Centre
this is the proper time to COM
mence building construction so
that a dwelling may be practically
finished before the midsummer
season. If any person in Ell Cen
tro has any idea OF building, this
is by all tests the proper time to
make plans and to contact the var
ious lending agencies which are
giving assistance to home builders,
he said.
Both Title I and Title II Of the
Federal Housing act have been re-
newed. Not only is it possible to
build new homes under the federal
plan. but it is also possible to do
remodeling, make repairs or build
additions to existing homes.
For instance, this would in
clude," said Havekorst, "the addl-
ton of a porch, a roof, bathroom,
or additional bedrooms, under the
low interest rates ana on the easy
terms made possible by the fed
eral plan. Lending agencies are
most willing at this time to coop
crate in such construction or re-
modelling" he stated.
Throughout the nation, according
to Havekorst, there has been a
sharp advance in mortgage lending
and home construction evidenced
since February l. The housing ad-
ministration estimates that it will
insure S75O,0O0,O00 worth of mort
cages this year against $566,OoO,OOO

Sick Over Court BILL"
Other Democratic leaders, who had
been absolutely loyal to the President,
introduced measures which the Presi-
dent did not like. Practically every
Democratic leader and almost all the
Democrats In Congress are sick at
heart over the court measure.
All this Is what the three-day pic
mic Il supposed to overcome and cure.
In the recent past Mr. Roosevelts
attitude when talking to individual
Democratic protesters has been repre-
sented as resentful and 4 little OBJ

serious Importance. 1t has become
official and political THE Presi-
dent" one Of his secretaries announces,
will be available to all the Demo-
cratic Congressman to talk over any
matter or question they desire" 1t
Is an effort to end a breach between
the President and his party in Con-
gress. an opportunity for the President
to be genial to Congress and Con-
gressmen to warm toward the Presi-
dent.
What is this breach? We can best
begin by going away from President
and Congress. and first dealing with
another body.
There Is around the President a
group OF personal intimates, advisers
official and unofficial. Most are radi-
cal in varying degrees; some are
sympathetic to theories from Russia.
From the group come many Of Mr.
Roosevelt's ideas. The group are
called by Gen. Hugh johnson the
'junta," a not quite exact word, for
the group are not organized and they
change frequently. In the junta are
two strongly progressive cabinet mem
bers. Mr.. Wallace of Agriculture and
Mr.. 1ckeS of Interior neither Demo-
crat before entering the cabinet In
it Is Relief Administrator Harry Hop
kins, heavy spender, who tries to
hold Mr.. Roosevelt toward that policy
The junta includes two young lawyers,
White House intimates, named
Corcoran and Cohen; these two have
written many Of the bills that Con-
gress has passed, they have written
more bills than all the members of
Congress combined. In the junta are
several others whose names would
mean nothing to the public. radicals
and eccentrics who are minor Gov
ernment employees or who come in
from outside While all in the junta
are radical or strongly progressive,
they are by no means a unit. They
quarrel bitterly with each other over
fine distinctions OF radicalism, Just
as the Russian Communists are
divided into Trotzkyites and Stalinites.
They are jealous about their respec-
tive closeness to the President from
time to time.
Back Of the Resentment.
From the junta comes most OF Mr.
Roosevelt's legislation. They make 4
suggestion or write a bill and Mr..
Roosevelt sends it TO Congress, telling
Congress to pass it. This the Demo-
Gratis in Congress have come to resent.
For q while, after the election last
Fall, Mr.. Roosevelt seemed to have
Tilted the junta. He let out Prof.
TugWell who had been leader OF the
radical group. He turned away from
the whole spirit Of the junta, which is
one Of bitterness, class hatred. The
President said. after the election,
that he wanted an era of good feel
ing" He acted in that spirit. His
message to Congress last January was
mild, appeasing
Then, suddenly. Mr. Roosevelt went
back to the junta. On February S
ne sent to Congress his measure for
changing the Supreme Court. In IA
vor of this measure he made an angry,
threatening speech. He sent other
measures to Congress, more far
reaching than before.
Why Mr.. Roosevelt went through
this change Of feeling-from the junta
toward conservatism and then back
to the junta-nobody knows It is
just one Of the mysteries OF Mr. Roose-
