a modern version of pioneering.
Every Imperial Valley resident
has seen migratory labor camps
but doubtless few have had more
than a fleeting glimpse from an
automobile. Grower maintained
camps with their floored tents,
piped water, sanitary facilities, rules
and camp bosses top the list. At
the other extreme is the roofless
tule Windbreak with its scrap iron
stove, tin can cooking utensils, and
scraps of ragged bedding placed n
the sandy soil. In all but the grow
ers' camps water must be carried
from irrigation bitches. A few of
the independent camps have sani-
tation facilities but most of them
have none.
One that shelters a family no
matter how large or small the fami-
ly may be. Living, cooking, eating,
sleeping-all must center in the
tent or sometimes a house on wheels.
Filthy and Clean
Tents are filthy, clean and all
the degrees between the best and
worst Just as houses in town run
the gamut, depending upon the in
habitants. They are comfortable
or uncomfortable according to the
ingenuity o. lie campers.
A visit to many of the camps
shows smoke rising from improVis-
ed outdoor kitchens or curling from
stovepipes thrust through sides or
tops of every conceivable style OF
movable habitation. Laundries dam
gle from tent ropes, bushes and
fences. The camps present domestic
scenes similar to those in city or
rural areas except for a general
atmosphere of impending change.
Life goes on in the camps Ill
spite of the sanitary, econmolc, So
cial, educational, police and racial
problems created by their eXistnace.
Camp dWellers apparently leave
those problems to others. They nave
their own problem. They have to
get enough to eat III an unstable.

The present trend, army officials
believe, is toward lighter, smaller

Washington. - With Jesse II.
Jones. chairman of the Reconstruc-
tion Finance corporation, leading
one side. and Senator George W..
Norris leading the other, terriilc
battle has been going on for months
AS to whether the government shall
10 ahead with its spending, ana
gradually encroach more and more
ON private initiative, or whether II
shall stop where it is now despite
m unemployment situation winch
seems to cry to heaven for more
government spending.
Jones' viewpoint is represented by
the bill now being rushed through
congress to provide liberal long
term loans to business.
Senator Norris viewpoint is ad.
vocated by Mariner S. Eccles, OF
the federal reserve board, by Harry
L. Hopkins of WPA, and by Harold
L. Ickes, of PWA and Whatnot.
Jones' view is that relief is 'lus'
q shot in the arm that employ
ment must be taken care OF by prl
vate business, which therefore mus
be aided by the government, II nee
essary, by liberal, long-term, low
interest loans.
At the moment President Roose
welt is on Jones side.
But it is interesting to read pub
lie statement made by the fedora
power commission right IN tn
midst of this battle. It is dated Apr
|. and is headed Federal poWe
commission prepared to begin For
Worth (Texas) survey on or abou
April 10"
It is interesting chiefly becaus
of various things the President ha
said in the last few months-sinc
he became worried about the reces
sion.

He Asks Why?

sion.
He Asks Why?
For instance, his talk with the
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh cleo
trio utility officials, about which he
at once told the newspaper men.
Summed up, he asked these utility
magnates if any government compe-
tition threatened their systems.
They said not. Then why, he
asked them, and the press later,
did not investors rush in to supply
the estimated billion dollars a year
that the electric industry should
spend to keep abreast Of the grow
ing demand? Apparently there was
no answer.
Still later, after the Supreme
court decision unfolding PWA loans
and grants for municipal power
plants and distribution systems, the
President told the press he as
sumed negotiations would be be-
gun with the owners Of the prl-
vate plants, locking to their pnr=
chase by the local governments, SO
as to avoid duplication OF facilities.
Consider how encouraging this
sentence from the April power
commission statement must be to
any prospective investor in the cleo
trio industry: THE proposed sur
vey does not contemplate appraisal
and valuation Of the privately owned
electric facilities now serving the
city, but an engineering estimate
of the cost of constructing new
distribution system capable of serv
ing the entire city at the presen
time and for some years in the fu
ture."
The power commissions state
ment also explains the expected
source Of power for this proposed
municipal system:
1.-THE Lower Colorado River
authority is state agency created
by the Texas legislature for flooc
control, reclamation, and hydro
electric purposes. Its program
provides for the construction OF foul
dams, all to produce electric power
on the Colorado river, Of which twt
are practically completed and tW'
are under construction. The pro
gram is being financed by SIS,
600, 900 federal loan and grant from
the PWA, and by direct appropr!
atoms of approximately $40, 900. 90
from the bureau OF reclamatio
from federal relief funds.
Here's Optimism
There is more optimism, and NOR
agreement, about the possibilities
the new industrial loans bill tina
anything SO far proposed to help
the present business recession. @
taxes the congress and the Pres
dent are almost at opposite pole
The senate, for example, is dete
mined to wipe out the tax on III
distributed earnings, and even tt
house would leave only face-sa'
ing trace Of it. Almost the sam
difference exists between the ca
itol and the White House on the ca
ital gains tax.
But on the idea Of industrial loar
there seems to be very gener
agreement, except that Harold
Ickes, public works administrato
does not like II. Nor does Harry
Hopkins like some Of the implic
tons involved, particularly that r
lief is only a 'shot in the arm
and that the real way to solve Il
unemployment problem is to G
courage private business.
Ickes, Of course, objects prims
lily to one feature Of the bill. II
would tend to take away from
u,a PWA some Of the functions 1t h
4 performed. He says, with sor
truth, that there is not much lii
lihood q getting projects With

subsidy attached after such a long
period of granting gifts along with
loans.
But the main features of the bill,
the feature on which its hackers
really place their hope, is not this
project feature at all, but the plan
for lending money to private indus
tries which, for one reason or an
other, have not been able to borrow
the money they would like to use
for plant additions and for new
equipment.
Their difficulty has been created,
it is freely admitted, by the govern
ment, SO it seems fair that the gov
eminent should take a hand IN rec
tifying the trouble.
