Editors Note: On a basis of
the 400 men reported on W.P.A.
rolls during Assistant State Ad-
ministrator Huber Earle's visit to
the city some few months ago
with an average wage of $50,
there is d monthly payroll of
around $4,000. Now considering
20 percent of this amount it
means $4,000 monthly would be
required in sponsors contribu-
tons. DedudtRa from this would
be some .4nohey and equipment
paid from sponsors, which would
probably bring the figure down
to $4,000 month.

The City of Key West and

The variation in the percent
age depends upon the type of
project, Mr.. Moreno said. "As far
as the amount of materials the
W.P.A. can furnish we are al

ECONOMY THAT
ISN'T ECONOMY

Business men who allow mania for
penny economy to influence their bus-
ness moves will find lesson in the re-
cent automobile junking experiments of
the Ford Motor company.
The first Ford attempt to junk old
cars considered unfit for duty proved
too costly The latest attempt has had
better success. Why?
Here is the reason, as reported by
the Dow Jones news service, a service
prepared by business experts. Speaking
of the latest Ford experiment, the Dow
Jones writer says:
mo attempt was made to salvage
glass, rubber or other parts; it was this
effort to save everything possible that
made the company's previous junking
program so costly that it was abandoned.
In other words, the company found
that it could not afford to spend 50 to
save 81 sheet of glass.
How many business men, We wonder,
are doing just that in their own business?

WHAT THE TAXPAYERS
CAN AND WILL PAY

For the sake of Imperial Valleys eco
nomic future, ii Is devoute1y to be hoped
that the Imperial Irrigation District
refunding program placed before the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation at
Washington by bondholders and the dis
trict is given approval and put into
effect as soon as possible.
Imperial Valley cannot hope for
better deal than exchange of 30 per cent
of the districts outstanding debt for
par value, four per cent interest bonds,
and refunding of the other 80 per cent
at Is cents on the dollar. On the other
hand the bondholders cannot logically
hope to get better deal on their side of
the table.
It is to the lasting interest of the bond
holders to see that this valley is put in
good economic standing as soon as pos
sible. and the same thing most certainly
is To the interest of the valleys taxpay-
ers. The better the condition of the val
lev the more chance the bondholders
have of realizing on their investment.
The better the valleys condition, the
more chance the rest of US have to live
happily and meet the recurring tax bill.
As things stand now, the taxpayers
here could not possibly meet this bond
ed indebtedness as it falls due Some
kind of relief is necessary if the bond
holders are to be secure in their invest
ment and the property owners in their
homes. Such relief would be afforded
by the refinancing proposal now before
RFC.
1t is time the bondholders realized
that the district is not deadbeat trying
to evade payment of just debts and so
is it time the district realized the bond
holders are not Shylocks attempting to
exact pound of flesh.
Working together toward an inter-
est which is, after all, mutual, the dis
trict and bondholders should be able to
obtain RFC approval of the new program
and thus set Imperial Valley on the road
to an era of greater prosperity than it
has ever known.

People You Love
By HANFORD HENDERSON

Have you ever noticed, Tor ex-
ample, in an apartment filled with
a great many ugly things and a
very few beautiful things, that the
ugly things gradually lose their
power TO annoy, and the beautiful
things have increased power TO at
tract? In the end we cease to see
the ugly things and see only the
beautiful things. Do you remem-
Der, how in any great gallery of
pictures the majority of canyases
fade away; how on your fourth visit
to the Pitt Palace or the Uffizi you
saw only dozen or SO pictures,
and how in the Louvre the Salon
Carre overshadoWs all the acreage
of canvas? Thinking now of your
circle of acquaintance, do you not
notice that the real people are those
you believe in and admire, that
your love goes out to the people
whom you have idealized? 1t is
the same in history, with places
and books. Christ is more real
than PLATE; Athens than Rome,
Cinderella than her wicked sisters.

Their Fingers Crossed =.

Ry RODNEY DuTCHER

BY RODNEY BUTCHER
WASHINGTON. - Progressive
members of Congress have their
fingers crossed over word that MI.
Roosevelt is becoming aggressive
again and seeking to. reassert his
leaderslaip-a report recently made
in these dispatches.
Some of. them have written or
wired the President at Warm
Springs, congratulating him on his
Gainesville speech for the wage
hour bill. But usually their mes
sages have been SO phrased as to
suggest that he keep it up
The liberal. pro-New Deal MEM
bers think the speech may have
been the beginning of an answer
to their prayer for aggressive lead
ership, but they're still praying.
Several of them have made their
prayers in person, assuring F. ID. r.
that if he didn't get some of his
program out of this Congress-or at
least fight for it-and at the same
time move to combat the depression,
they would have bad time ex-
planning to the folks on whom they
depend for reelection.
Lukewarm presidential support
ers have been willing to shed New
Deal raiment, finding that course
tactically as well as emotionally
more feasible than the progressive.
And the Capitol Hill woods are full
of 1886 coat-tail riders who told
the voters Roosevelt was swell, but
have since been knitting presidential
policies consistently
Following progressive advice TO
fight" however, is stark neceS-
sity for the President if he is to
fulfill his ambition to name his
successor in 1910 or even to main
tain his present precarious hold on
Congress during the last two years
of his term. He himself doesn't
know how far he will go in taking
the offensive and he may we'll lose
out. Just the same, the offensive
has begun.
Correspondents with the Presi-
dent thought it was significant
when, after Senator Walter F.
George of Georgia introduced Roose-
velt at Gainesville and called him
the greatest President since the
Civil War F. d. r. praised Gov.
E. D. Rivers and ignored George.
1t was significant. New Dealers
secretary are trying to persuade
Rivers to go after Georges seat
in the senatorial primaries. George
has opposed 1.-The greatest Presi-
dent since the Civil War" on the
Court plan, the Wage-hour bill
taxation and other major issues
Rivers is considered strong New
Dealer and is expected to run
against George if he thinks he can
win.
Although the Georgia primary
doesn't come until Sept. 6, what
happens to George may become an
important item of political history
He is now the most conspicuous
senatorial anti-NeW Deal Democrat
facing the voters this year. He is
especially outstanding in the south
ern Democratic group which seeks
to Wrest party control from Roose-
welt.

= Nazis Wonder About Smith, Middleton

to be aware of her good fortune
in having proved attractive more
than 200 years ago TO men who
were "incorrigible opponents OF

1t is the wish of Mr. Smith from

distinguished refugees as Germany
has already lost to u.s.
It is the wish of Mr.. Smith from

Famous Sayings

Superior in tone, sarcastic,

public comment on Secretary of

College English
fEmDOria Cazette)

We note with approval amount
ing to an accolade of applause that
the Kansas papers are cheering
Kansas university for insisting that
before a student shall enter on his
final year he shall be able to write
clear, simple English and express
himself with some degree of illumi-
mating intelligence.
The prime object of an educa
ton should be to communicate
thought. But the average college
student whether he comes from the
small college or the big one, seems
to have entirely neglected that
phase of his education-the phase
which makes it possible for him TO
talk and write with degree of
clarity. Perhaps this lack reflects
low grade of intelligence, con-
fused mind. But it is certainly a
lack and no student of the uni
versity should be given a degree
whether in law, engineering, phar-
macy or the fine or liberal arts, who
can't sit down and write five hun
dred or one thousand words upon
any subject which he has discussed,
or upon any general topic of human
interest that might come up in a
casual conversation, and write il
understandingly, simply in fairly
short sentences and with non-
technical words. The student who
cannot do that is certainly ignorant
no matter how many facts he knows
about his particular branch of learn
ing The ignorance of the rising
generation, college graduate and all
accounts somewhat for the increase
of crime.
