News Behind the News
FIR. and the Utilities

WASHINGTON.-New Deal victories in the
Supreme Court on the power front strengthen
previous predictions that conversations between
the President and public utlltes EXECUTIVES
would be without result.
This fact and the aftermath of RooSeVeus
message to Congress emphasize one OF the points
which might have made the situation clearer
in the last two or three months if 1t had been
more commonly recognized: the President mas
been and is unwilling TO make any noteworthy
concessions in response to Vociterous business
demand which would mean any retreat from
administration positions previously taken
The message has been widely interpreted as
a demand" for business cooperation. Instead
of promising concessions, its chief new pro
position was one for more business regulation.
This has the same flavor the real facts OF the
widely ballyhooed White House utility converse
tions in which demands for changes in New Deal
power policy were met by presidential requests
for lower rates and large private expansion
program.
Roosevelt's confidence in his own position
at that time fortified by a serene falth
that the Supreme Court would uphold the gov
ernment in the PWA power, IVA and holalng
company act test cases The court has now ap-
proved PWA loan-grants to municipalities Tor
public power plants after a three-year court
fight 1t has suggested possibility OF an oVertufn
in its conservative theory OF reproduction cost
in valuations and agreed to an early nearing on
the holding company act test.
1t really looks as If the So-caled power
trust had lost out in its long, bitter ana eX-
pensiye battle to defeat Roosevets aims, first
in Congress and then in the courts.
Roosevelt's talk with Wendell Willkie of the
Commonwealth q Southern company, although
more publiczed, was not potentially mpor-
tant as his discussion with Floyd Carlisle OF
the Niagara Hudson and Consolidated Edison
companies The atmosphere toward Willkie has
been somewhat cooler since he gave out the
program of suggested concessions he had pro-
posed to Roosevelt, and wasn't very warm IN
the first place.
Much more important to Roosevelt was his
conversation with Carlisle which really con-
cerned St Lawrence river power development
and the rich market for power in New York
state.
Roosevelt undertook to tell Carlisle that the
longer he and other utility men fought the ad-
nainistration program, the worse it would be
for them He said the market was growing FAST
er than facilities, that even II public development
of ST. Lawrence power came the private inter
ests had nothing to be afraid OF, that Carlisle
should expand distribution systems through the
state reduce rates, get in on the ground floor
and prepare for competition in program which
meanwhile would benefit the nation as well as
the Carlisle interests
The President was at least persuasive enough
TO cause Carlisle to say that fears OF government
competition are very much lessened" and to an
nounce a new sl12000000 construction program
which already had decided upon.

What Outsiders Think
Of Imperial Valley

Imperial Valleys development has
only just startedi
Probably some of our readers are get
ting tired of hearing that theme. Some
of them, we know, believe it's only so
much balderdash. There are only a few
of the latter, we hope.
Let's take a look for a moment at
what outsiders think Of our valley. Re-
member. they're not subject to booster
tits, and they haven't any axes to grind.
They're speaking what's in their minds.
Imperial Valley has the makings of
the finest winter resort in the west"
said Friend w Richardson, former gov
ernor of California who is ''out of poll
tics and expects to stay that way
Why not? We have more to attract
visitors than Palm Springs, in natural
resources. We are closer than Phoenix
to metropolitan centers. Our climate is
as good or better than either place. All
we need is a little more development.
Now listen to Ernest McGaffey, writ
ing in a nationally circulated magazine
"A four or five day trip Ito Imperial
Valley) -. will prove to be something
a visitor will never forget"
And again Mr. McGaffey: "Not to see
Imperial Valley, if coming to California.
would be to overlook one of the most
unique and picturesque panoramas that
America contains, and to view its lux
uriance and beauty e. will carry with 1t
the thrill of lifetime"
That's what others think of us,

Other Editors Say
MAKING PUBLIC THE FACTS
(San Rafael independently

Member of a neighboring city's council ex-
pressed himself the other day as opposing publi-
cation by newspapers from time to time of cur
rent statistical reports municipal affairs. His
reasoning was that the people get wrong ideas. y
If such theory of government were followed
through the newspapers would publish practic-
ally nothing about anything for no matter
what was published it is certain to be misread,
misunderstood, misinterpreted by somebody
Granting that a few people may get wrong
ideas it must be conceded that a great major
ity of the people will derive correct ideas from
what they read concerning their municipal af-
fairs the biggest business of any community
and in which every citizen has big stake 1t is
the duty of public officials to make all facts
and authoritative reports available and the
function of the newspaper that is true to its
trust to publish those facts accurately and with
out prejudice.
Thus Will the people learn, thus will official
dom perform its full duty and none need fear
that in isolated instances few people may
make wrong use Of the facts

Your County Fair
And Mine
That S grand -

That's grandi'
SO runs the usual reaction to an item
in the papers that the Imperial county
fair once again is entering into that
stage of feverish activity that always
precedes opening of the countys annual
mid-winter exposition. The trouble is
that most of Us drop the matter right
there.
The fair board is made up of capable
men, we reason. They have made big
success of the fair since 1881. They'll
probably continue to make big success
of it. More power to them
That's where we're wrong. Not our
own capable fair board, nor any other
small group, can make a success of any
such undertaking as the Imperial coun-
ty fair has become. Ben Hulse and his
fellow members of the board are respon-
sible for the success-nobody can deny
that. But they are responsible because
of their untiring efforts to induce the
people of the county to make a success
of the exposition. 1t is not the fair
boards fair-it Is ours, yours and mine.
Its success is up to us.
The people of the county owe lot to
the fair board. Those are the men who
assumed, personally, a $4,000 debt in
1881, because they wanted to see the
county fair continued. They are the ones
who have labored without pay, spend
ing their own money and their own time
without stint, so that Imperial county
might benefit from the widespread no.
tice attracted by the fair. They have
paid off the debt and put money in the
treasury, and all we can give them in
return is gratitude. Certainly they de-
serve that
Our gratitude to these men can best
be demonstrated by full cooperation with
them in their effort to have us make a
success of our fair. A little time and
effort on our part is small enough pay
ment for the weeks and months they
have spent in our service.
Preparations are already being made
for the 1888 county fair. There will
never be a better time to help the fair
board put on the grandest show Impe-
rial county has ever staged.
