 A resolution offered by some dele gates IaYorIng the conscrlption ot factories ana other industrial re- sources in war time failed of adop- tion. This proposal was rejected by the Legislative committee prlnelpaI- ly on the grounds that II would es- Labnsh dlcIatorlaI powers at Wash Ington whenever il might be inYok- GU. The committee presented a sub stlture resolution, reaITlrmlng the Legions endorsement of universal conscription in war time, adopted in the 1887 convention at New York
 -Four amendments to the Legion Constitution were proposed, two to prevent Legion unILs from partlcl- paIlng in industrlaI disputes and two barring Legion membership to any person assocIated with taselsm, NazIsm, or Communism. The Con- stltution Committee report recon mended rejection of these proposals and was sustained by the conTen- tion.
 The ten-point program. which was brought to the floor Of the con- vention by harran Il. Atherton ot Stockton, Callt., chairman of the Amerlcanlsm Committee, was adopt ed without a dissenting vote.
 It contained resolutions in the following categorles:
 l. Immediate trial with a view to deportation if found guilty of Harry Bridges, c. I. O. regional director, and all like aliens"
 2. Deportation immediately of any aliens convicted of a felony in the united States.
 3. Investigation by Congress of alleged laxness of officials Of the Department of Labor, who have failed in their duties and have blocked the immigration and depor- tation laws"
 1. Amendment of immigration laws to provide that no foreign country may send it's citizens here if it is unwilling to take them back when deported from this country for cause.
 5. Cessation of all immigration until all American citizens are en- ployed, or at least for ten-year perIoo,
 $. That Congress authorize that application forms for citizenship papers be printed in the language Of the incoming alien instructing him how to become a citizen, and that if he fails to seek citizenship within five years he shall be sub- ject to deportation.
 '. Opposition by the Legion to al present and future bills which low CT the requirements for naturaliza- tion.
 8. Commentator of the Dies Committee by Congress and further appropriations that it may complete it's work.

PROFITS MEAN BETTER

No denies that have gone far in recent dec
AIDES. All of have comforts and cOnvenences that
unknown generation ago. We have entertainment
for the millions, cheap transportation, better streets
and highways, cleaner factories and attractive
ships, better lighting and more sanitation. Who
imagine such without the influence of busness
The profit motive has forced constant improvement
in radio and motion picture entertainment. 1t has
brought to tables fruits and vegetables that
almost unknown few years ago. 1t has made richer
with household conveniences-eectrc oasters stoves,
refrgerators vacuum cleaners and razorsreducng the

Competition has improved the working conditions in
our factories making them safer and more pleasant
to work in 1t has supplied more comfortable and more
efficient automobiles, widening the horizon for thou
sands of men who formerly lived in narrow lane.
None of these accomplishments would have been pos
sble without the profit motive. Men mpeled for
ward by the desire to make money with which to obtain
the things they want In seeking their advancement
they enrich all. They produce goods that want
and sell them at prices afford to pay If they
don't, they go bankrupt
Many schemes proposed for the reform of bust
nearly all of them by theorists who have had no
business experience and who fail to recognize realities

The POst-Press Business Review
City PubIicized in
Coast MaQazine

Ell Centro received some very
worthwhile publicity in recent
issue of western Advertising,
magazine published on the Pacific
coast.
The article was sent in to the
magazine by Robt. Hays, secretary
of Ell Centro chamber of commerce,
at the request of the publications
editor. Following are excerpts
from it:
"The infant city of Ell Centro,
in CALIFORNIA; Imperial Valley, was
incorporated 80 years ago. Basking
in almost constant sunshine, fed
by the rich production of irrigated
farm lands, the city developed a
census population of 1910 by 1910,
scared to 1854 by 1920, went on
to 8427 by 1890. Current estimates
place the population at 11,4O0, and
the town boosters look for further
expansion when the Coachella
canal, offShoot of the All American
canal, starts watering additional
tens of thousands Of acres.
Therefore, very little of Ell Cen
tro's 1895 retail sales total Of ~
million dollars went for ulsters and
umbrellas. More than a third OF
it went toward automobile purchas-
es; more than a million toward
food. The per capita purchases,
based on 1880 population: 1884.

DOLLAR DAY!


Saturday, Oct. Is! The day when
all Imperial Valley comes to Ell
Centro, with its many beautiful
stores and their complete selection
of stocks of new merchandise of
every type, to buy at really bargain
prices.
Yesterdays 24-page edition of this
newspaper carried the advertising
story of practically every business
house in El Centro in relation to
Dollar Day. Printers and the ad-
vertising staff were taxed to capa-
city to get the edition out on time.
The largest crowd in the history
of Ell Centro Dollar Days is an
ticipated by the chamber of COM
merce and the merchants of the
city.
Every merchant endeavored to
give the greatest possible values in
every department of his store in
order to show out of town shoppers
just how far their money can go
on quality merchandise in Ell Cen
tro.
This event, sponsored by the
chamber of commerce, has and is
putting Ell Centro on the Imperial

promotes business and gives the
public a run for their money will
get busy and stay busy!

Edgar and W. .. Hinderks OF Edgar
Bros, local Lincoln-zephyr repre-
sentativeS, met with dealers from
all over southern California and
Arizona at the Ambassador hotel
in Los Angeles today to view for
the first time the new Lincoln
Zephyr Viz for 1889.
Leland G. Johnson, Lincoln divi-
sion manager of the Ford Long
Beach branch, who returned last
week from Detroit where plans
were laid for the presentation of
the now Zephyr, was chairman OF
the meeting and unveiled the new
model in dramatic ceremony.
The dealer meeting Immediately
followed a breakfast preview for
newspaper men.
During the meeting, Johnson re-
called the history of the Lincoln
Zephyr Viz since its introduction.
He said, "The remarkable growth
of the Lincoln-zephyr from a brand
new car in 1886 to a position of
leadership in the medium price field
is proof of public recognition and
approval of the revolutionary type
of construction and styling used
in building the Zephyr. This car
made an outstanding sales record
in 1898, and we feel certain that
present improvements will make the
Lincoln-zephyr leader again in
1880"
