To Replace Train

As an aftermath Of the Rail-
road Commission hearing held in
Ell Centro a few weeks ago, par
ticipated in by the Imperial Val
ley cities and chambers Of COM
merce. at which hearing the South
ern Pacific company sought author
ity for discontinuing the daylight
motor cars between inland and
Calexico, the Pacific Greyhound
lines has applied for an operating
certificate for bus operation be-
tween BraWley and inland, via
Calipatria.
This was revealed yesterday by
Robert Hays. Secretary of the Ell
Centro Chamber of Commerce, one
of the organizations which sought
TO retain the service, and states
that the Greyhound application
has been assigned No. 21743. and
will be set for early hearing by

ut is not believed Hays stated,
that there will be any opposition
to the bus application, as an agree

creased attendance. he said.
Most OF the children from the
migratory workers families are liV-
ing in the pea camps provided by
growers. Walton declared. Some OF
the families find it almost impos-
sible to send their children TO
school because they do not have
suitable clothing or lunches. En-
ployment they anticipated in the
pea fields has not been fortheom-
ing. Approximately one half Of the
children from the migratory group
are residents of California, the
remainder of the group. Walton
said, come from the dust bowl OF
the middlewest They refuse TO re-
turn home, he said. even if trans
portation is provided. because there
is no work there, they contend.
Children who attend the inland
school come from both the city and
the surrounding areas. Buses take
the children to and from the rural
areas.
In Calipatria, where about three
fourths of the elementary school
children are transported in buses,
the peak enrolment thus far this
year is 900 as compared to last
years peak of 666 At the Calipatria
high school the peak thus far this
year is 1870 while last year it was
los.
Brawley elementary school peak
enrolment this year is 5000 while
last year it was about 2.640. Walton
declared The increase at the high
school was not so great. Because the
families of migratory workers move
SO much in following the crops, he
said, many of the children are not
able TO finish grammar school be-
fore they are 16 years of age. Thus,
he pointed out, the high schools
are not so crowded as California
law does not force the child to
attend school after he reaches 16
years of age.
THE attendance problem IS a
big one, according TO Walton, the
children living in the 'squatter
camps in the north-end areas are
difficult to keep in touch with. A
small percentage Of parents deli
berately keep their children out of
school. After I see them and tell
them they must keep their chill
dren in school in conformance with
state laws, they frequently move TO
other parts of the state
He pointed out that the open
ing of new tomato fields in the
inland district attracted new fam
lilies sufficient to create a one
teacher increase in the school. This
is a permanent increase and could
be handled satisfactorily if the 9TH
er increases had not occurred at
the same time.

the general public fails to realize

The beginning OF the problem,

can be termed as an inevitable

Seven times IN the history of
the United States business hit de-

depression was capitalized on by
political opportunists.
They publicized their system
which, according to them, would
substitute for business and correct
mistakes of business. Then they
began campaign to paint business
as the villain OF the depression.
The best defense against busi
ness, politics decided, was attack.

sion in a final plea for Is per
cent freight rate increase to save

Hearings on the railroads re-
qeust for the rate raise were con-
cluded by the ICC two weeks ago
The carriers filed with the ICC
their concluding brief in support of
the freight increase, and advance
OF eastern territory passenger fares
one-half cent per mile. On the
basis of 1897 traffic, the freight
advance would add $5l7,000,000 a
year to carrier revenues, and the
passenger fare increase $4,000 900.
The ICC granted the railroads
SAT 100000 increase in freight
charges in October, and permitted
the roads to file increased tariffs
in December on a wider range of
commodities, which added another
$30000,000 to their revenues.
Inland water carriers, steamship
lines operating in the gulf, Allan
