NEW YORK, May ia medica
man in San Francisco writes mt
there are more victims of anoSmia
than almost anyone realizes. Amos

afflicted with a lack Of smell With
some it is congenital, and with 9TH
ers often the result of chronic sinus
affection.
Those victimized with color blind
ness. achromatopsia, generally be-
come aware of il as they mature
but those with anosmia seldom dis
cover the fact for the reason that
it does not reflect on anyone but
the unfortunate individual. Genius
is often so touched. Maeterlinck

Almost everybody has had dim

someone who has difficulty in
reaching a decision as Just what

Another frequent affliction which
many endure with patient resig-

inner ear. 1t is sometimes a prelude

CONGRESS NEEDS
SOME POLITICIANS

The manly art of horsetrading is fail
ing into decadence in the greatest horse
trading body of them all-Congress.
Either that, or congress had met the
king of all the horsetraders.
President Roosevelt, who wanted per-
manent Civilian Conservation Corps Zone
of the most worthwhile of all New Deal
agencies) and $500, 100000 for relief
next year, got them both in the face of
a congressional revolt which threatened
to limit CCC to three years and pare
S5O0,O00,000 from the relief budget.
All congress got was presidential
smile when it insisted upon S25, ,OOO,-
900 emergency flood appropriation for
the Ohio river valley. The President had
opposed the appropriation, but in view
of his winnings, he could afford to smile
at the minor revolt After all, congress
must save its face!
Deduct the twenty-five million con-
gress got from the five hundred million
the President saved, and it leaves the
President just S475 100000 ahead. That's
nice horse trading.
Congress needs some politicians of the
old school, which was the horse trading
school, before it goes into another death
struggle with the chief executive.

ness, fixing prices or drafting pro-
duction managers.

The point is that the war of
l86l-64 put the country under
strain almost infinitely greater than
that OF the World War. The north
ern states in 1860 had approximate
ly 20,000.000 inhabitants. They put
100000 men into the army. and
nearly $4,000 of these men lost their
lives.
A comparable effort in 1917
would have meant an army of TO-
100000 men with some 1,750,000
deaths. Furthermore, the War Be-
tween the States was fought at
home and lasted four years, the
World War-om part of twas
fought 5000 miles away and lasted
less than two years.
Is this elaborate r-dictator-
'ship really necessary in war time,
then, after all? 1t wasn't in 1861
for We got along then without 1t,
and met test far Weightier than
any war today is apt to put Oh us.

Imperial Valley press., 1937-05-23
Bruce Cation Says:>> q
Why Add Dictatorship to Our War Misery

One little riddle this country has
to solve in the near future is the
question whether it is possible for
modern democracy to fight a war
without giving up all traces of its
democracy during the war perior.
In the Congress right now there
is pending the Sheppard-Hill bill,
which started out to take the profits
out of war and seems to be wind
ing up as a measure to make the
war machine more efficient.
1t would give the government
complete power over prices, rents
material resources and industrial
organizations. 1t would subject to
the draft all persons engaged in
management or control of industrial
establishments. 1t would provide for
a system of licensing business. Put
into effect in wartime, it would
transform our republic overnight
into an almoSe alright dictatorship.
Il i
Something of this kind seems to
be inevitable, in case of war. We had
a good taste of it in 1917, when a
good many of our ordinary libcr-
ties arbitrarily were suspended. Per-
haps it is foolish to wish that we
could 60 on war footing without
giving up the precious rights OF
peacetime.
And yet-we managed TO lsht
the greatest war in our history, and
win it. and withstood strain such
as no other war placed upon US,
without setting up any such dicta-
torial controls.
In the great War Between the
States there was abundant interfer-
ence with the citizens liberties, OF
course. Yet there was no such regl1
mentation as we had in the World
War. nothing remotely like that
which is proposed for our next
war.
Newspapers were free to criticize
the president, the army, the gen.
erals and government department
heads. They were under no censor
ship whatever as to the printing
of news and opinion. Private busi-
ness operated without restraints.
No one dreamed of licensing buSi-

IMPERIAL COUNTY GIVES
ONE-HALF THE PICTURE

Figures made available this week by
the Ell Centre chamber of commerce
from the u. S. business census of 1885
show promising picture of business
activity jim Imperial county, but they
give only part of the current picture
The figures refer to 1885, 1884 and 1888
Informed agencies believe that 1886 in
comparison to 1885 would show far
more startling increase in business here
than is shown by the census.
Retail stores in Imperial county, num-
bering $40, reported a 2S per cent gain
for 1885 over 1884 in total sales. For
1885 over 1888, the gain is 43 per cent
for the county and 45 per cent for Ell
Centric.
How Imperial Valley has outdistanced
the rest of the nation in return to
prosperity is shown by the average in
creases in 1885 over the previous year.
The increases for the United States was
II per cent. and the increase for Cali
fornia was Is per cent. Compare that
10 the % per cent increase in Imperial
county,
We must remember that 1885 was not
considered an especially prosperous year
here. The next year, 1886, was far bet
ter. and 1887 is understanding all others.
The current picture, therefore is far
more cheerful even than the highly pleas
ing one of 1885.
Imperial county is not merely one of
the prosperous parts of the country;
it is ONE OF THE MOST prosperous.
1t will remain so as long as the county
continues to advance in public and pri-
vate development of all available re-
sources.

respect for their later rolls as voters

News Behind the News
The Social Security Decision .. Hard
TO Find Anything More Important
viii Affect 26 Million

WASHINGTON.-It is hard to think of any
thing more Immediately important than the
Supreme Courts forthcoming opinions in the
social security cases.
Because:
l. An old-age benefit system covering 26,-
100000 persons, and unemployment insur-
system covering most of those persons are
at stake.
2. 1t is very likely that the decision will
determine the success failure of the Pres-
dents Supreme Court plan in Congress. AT
least it will have highly important bearing
the question of whether the anticipated com
promise merely face-saving arrangement
to give Roosevelt what he wants.
3. The Constitution, if the social security tax
declared valid by majority of the nine
justices, will have become Constitution mark
edly different from the one the country had
had under previous interpretations
Thus it seems that the Supreme Court is
more spectacularly the spot than ever before.
Also that Justices Owen Josephus Roberts eS
pecially is on that spot, both because OF
his peculiar status as the courts odd man.
and because of the majority opinions which he
himself read when the AAA and railway retire
ment act were nvalidated,
Most senators. at least believe that Roose-
velt's court program would pass with no essen
tial change if the court were to decide against
the government in the social security cases.
Many lawyers are inclined to believe that
valuation OF the enpIOyeI1eElpIOye: IdA uStu- W
finance old age benefits would leave few con-
stitutional restrictions on use of the taxing pow
er for purposes of the general welfare.
Justice Roberts, in the AAA case, held pro-
cessing taxes illegal on the ground that they
were instrument in a -coercive scheme Tor
regulating local affairs I
In the Railroad Retirement Act case, which
required employe-employer contributions to
pension fund, Roberts held that the act fell out
side congressional powerAto sFegulate interstate
commerce.
AAA taxes were levied expressly for the pur-
pose of paying oenefitStzFro .Efarmers, however
and old age social security. taxes not similar
" earmarked The governlnent has argued
that the taxes were separate from the old age
benefit features and that the system was not
dependent on this tax, but could be financed
by other revenue-raising means.
Various issues are involved-the taxing pow
er and the general welfare clause of the con-
stitution. the due process clause and the queS-
tion of providing for assistance in old age Is or
isn't function reserved to the states
Thus there are various grounds raised OH
which the court could knock out all or parts
of the social security program as it relates to
old age benefits and unemployment insurance.
The consensus is that Justices Hughes, Bran
deis Stone and Cardozo will smile upon the
social security program that McReynoldS, Suther-
land Butler and Van Devanter will turn thumbs
down-and that Roberts will cast the die alter
much turmoil Of mind.

TUSKLESS ELEPHANTS
IN INDIA

BOMBAY, NUP) - The trend of
evolution appears to indicate the
development of a tuskless elephant
in India, declared c. c. Morris in
a paper read to the Bombay Ma
tural History Society. Already such
a condition had been established
in Ceylon. A similar tendency
among Indian elephants was re-
vealed in the number of males
which failed to develop tuskS.
