ONE STEP, BUT
NOT FAR ENOUGH

imperial Valley needs central pub
ilcity agency, as this column has point
ed out time after time. The step taken
by the associated chambers of commerce
III appointing a permanent committee
TO publicize the valley is, as far as it
goes, good one. The trouble is. it does
not go far enough.
1t is definitely not the fault of the
Associated chambers of commerce that
the. organization as it is set up will not
be able to get full measure out of the
valleys publicity possibilities 1t may
even be that the new permanent COM
mittee will be the means of working
into the desired program.
The proposal for a central publicity
bureau, as originally set forth in these
columns, called for an office under the
direction of one man-an experienced
publicity man-paid to devote all his
time to publicizing the valley. From the
Office would go magazine articles, news
paper stories and photographs TO every
part of the country. The program would
be financed by a combination of the
county board of trade, the publicity
funds of the county fair board.
It would be an all-year job. II would
be no Job for anyone who did not cut
his teeth against editors dislikes. The
man who handled 1t would have to know
how to write, how to please editors, and
how to draw up advertising copy. He
would be a hard man to find-but once
found he would be of immeasurable bene-
fit to Imperial Valley.
We recognize and admire the civic
spirit of the men who support the Assc-
ciated chamber of commerce group, and
we believe their wholehearted wish is
for the best benefit of the valley. At
the same time, we believe nobody will
be able to handle. such job as this
should be unless the plan is based on
businesslike foundation and headed by
a trained salared man with full respon-
sibility.
Such program as that outlined here,
we believe should start as soon as there
is good reason to start it-that IS. as
soon as the valleys debt problems have
been ironed out and its drainage trou-
bles quieted, allowing us to turn an at
tractive face to future investments. 1t
is not too soon now to begin organizing
the machinery, and the Associated cham
hers of commerce could be of immeasur-
able help in this organization.

CALIFORNIA u.
20 YEARS YOUNG
lNisalia Times-Deltal

(NiSalia TimeS-Delta)
Seventy years is not a long period as
time goes, but in California it is a con-
siderable span. The real development of
this state did not start until about 80
years ago. SO we may say that the Uni
yersity of California, which is now 70
years old, has grown up with the state.
But what a growth California is the
site of great trees, high mountains, big
rivers, picturesque coasts, fertile val
leys. As if to match these physical en-
dowments, the state, in less than 100
years. has grown from almost nothing
in population, production, industry and
improvements to place among the lead
ing states in the union. And to go with
all this natural splendor and material
accomplishment, California has develop
ed one of the largest and finest universe
ties in the world. In buildings, enroll
ments. breadth of instruction and char
acter of alumni, it stands in the front
rank.
Although public institution support
ed primarily by taxes. and through that
token liable to be a football of politics, it
may be said to the credit of the presi-
dents and boards of regents who have
guided its deStinies through the years
and. to the succession of legislatures
which have approved and voted its bud
gets. there has been a minimum of poll
tics in university affairs. And may we
point out that the best proof of this
statement is the outstanding success of
the University of California in almost
every avenue of higher education.
SO today. this year when the institu-
ton is celebrating its 10th birthday, it
stands at the highest peak of accomplish
ment In its president, DR.. Robert Gordon
Sproul, it has one of the nations lead
ing university executives, man of fine
education, wide business experience,
breadth of vision and intellectual free
dom. As graduate of the institution
he serves, he helped to build its tradi-
tions. and because he has never lost the
human touch has been preeminently sue
cessful in dealing with both student body
and faculty problems. We feel safe in
predicting that under the continued
guidance of DR.. Sproul, the bright past
of the University of California will never
be dimmed by anything except the bril-
lance of its own future.

FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
AND INCOME TAXES

A recent editorial commenting that
federal employees should not be exempt
from federal income taxes this week
brought down storm OF dlsapproval
from federal employees in Imperial val
lev Not disapproval of the idea, but
disapproval of misinformation.
Federal employees do pay federal IN
come taxes. They do not pay state IN
come taxes State employees do not pay
federal taxes. They pay state taxes.
The error was unintentlonal, put the
idea remains the same. We see no reason
why federal employees should be exempt
from any income tax, state or feoeral;
and the same holds true of state and
municipal employees.

ISOLATED SPOTS NO LONGER


Road building in California has be
come so good, so easy and so general that
there is now a move on foot to stop some
of it. The brakes are to be applied ID
the hills where brakes are most neces-
sary and most useful of course. We have
been opening up SO many roads into so
many isolated Businesses that we are
becoming alarmed lest there be no more
isolation and no more Businesses. We
are lust beginning to discover how valu-
able isolation is. Wealthy people in the
large cities, grown weary of the constant
grind, are demanding a retreat in the
hills where they can relax and recover
their poise. But the easy roads we are
building into these sylvan retreats are an
urgent invitation to the eager motorlst
TO come on and clean up the solitude.
And there can be no forest primeval
where there are open roads. The demand
is for preservation of some of these avail
able sections, and the demand should
grow and become general.

Famous Sayings

The plaintive cry from japanese
army headquarters that the Chi
nese are not playing fair in the
fighting in Shantung may turn
out to be the last dying gasp OF
that noble fiction which once went
by the name of Civilized Warfare
According to the japanese, the
proverbially clever Chinese have
been playing mean tricks on their
unsuspecting invaders.
Chinese soldiers doff their uni
forms, filter into the countryside
back of the japanese lines and con-
trive to look like farmhands, day
laborers, or what not. At a pro-
pitious moment they extract wea-
pons from secret hiding places and
sally forth to slaughter japanese
truck drivers, blow up japanese
supply trains, shoot japanese SEN
tries and military police, and in
other ways make life uncomfort-
able for their enemies.
All of this, say the japanese, is
not the high-minded and chlval-
ric sort of fighting that was
learned on the playing fields OF
Eton, and it obliges the sons OF
Nippon to burn Chinese villages
tear down farmhouses, and shoot
n number of people who claim to
be innocent civilians.
You could argue, of course, that
the Chinese can hardly be blamed
for disregarding the rules of war
fare. in view of the fact that
Japan has insisted from the start
that this isn't war at all, but
just an incident.
But it is more interesting to re
fleet that even the eXponents OF
extreme ruthlessness in warfare
look back longingly to the days
when war was a formalized con-
test carried on according to def
mite rules.
Those rules, devised by general
agreement to mitigate the horrors
of unrestrained savagery, provided
that soldiers should fight only
soldiers, that some sort of code oi
fair play should cover their mu-
tual killings, and that rival COM
manders should be able to trust
each other. within limits.
For a full century or more they
have been breaking down. The
code still fingered in the Ameri-
can Civil War, although there were
