AN ECONOMIC ROYALIST'
OF NEWSDOM DIES

Robert Z. Scripps, controlling stock
holder Of the ScrippS- S-Howard newSpa-
fishers who have been the brunt of many
recent attacks against the press of the
country-attacks painting the press as
an instrument for the opinions of those
capitaliStic monsters described by arch
politicians as economic royalists.'
Scripps himself, as far as we know,
was never mentioned by name in these
attacks, possibly because his newspaper
chain leaned distinctly to the left during
the early days of the present political
period. Nevertheless, he could not escape
the broadsides fired in generalities
against all newspapers. Too, the fact
that Scripps inherited the beginnings of
his newspaper holdings left him wide
open to the charge of economic royalism.
In the light of these facts, it is inter
esting to note details along the way in
the career of Robert P. Scripps.
Remember that he was the son of a
wealthy father being trained to publish
newspapers. Then glance at his training.
He sought newspaper subscriptions
in Philadelphia, working from door to
door, for a small salary. He worked as
a reporter in the same city for an equally
small salary.
In Bakersfield, in our own state, he
carried washboard to back doors can
vassing for circulation for paper in
which his father had no interest what
soever. The paper for which he worked
was giving away washboards as sub
scription premiums.
He took a contract for hauling pipe
to the oil fields in Bakersfield, and went
broke paying damages to an injured
workman.
He worked as marine reporter on
newspaper in Eureka, Calf, for 81
day-and was bawled out by the editor
when he left his post to cover fatal
accident that gave his paper scoop.
He worked on newspaper III Austria
liza, and reported on economic, political
and business conditions there.
If ever there was a training conducive
to general understanding of the Amer
ican picture from top to bottom, 1t was
his. The success of his newspaper chain
demonstrates that it was good training.
OF such stuff are our economic royal
lists of the press made

Freedom of the press is an actual

In the United States, when Ger

verbal onslaughts against the Hitler
government by New York'S Mayor
LaGaurdina, Secretary of state
Hull informed Germany that tins

He further said that for news

what it is told and omits what it

Power Revenues After
Fixed Charges

II is our understanding that the
obligations incurred by Imperial
Irrigation district under its con-
tracts with the Public Works Ad-
ministration and the Rural Electri-
fication Administration do not con-
stitute a lien upon the lands of the
district, and that these bond issues
are to be serviced entirely from
power revenues. In Table 6 are
shown the annual fixed charges to
be met out of net operating reVe-
nues under these two contracts.
The PWA contract provided for a
reserve fund to be built up over
ten years, but We are informed that
this has been modified and the
reserve fund is now to be built
up in about live years. There is
also shown on this table the amount
still due under the contract OF
purchase of the diesel engine put
in operation in Brawley in 1896.
The net operating revenue given
in Table 5 is repeated here, and
the residual revenue given in Table
is repeated here, and the residual
revenue after fixed dharge5 is
shown in the last column of Table
s. The amounts are given to The
nearest dollar, on account of the
use of the actual repaymentS under
the PWA and REA contracts. 1t
must be realized that these am
cunts are from general trend curves
and that material departure in in
dividual years will occur. In gen.
eral, all of the operating revenues
will be required for fixed charges
in 1898. and most of them in 1899.
Bv 1910 there should be available
more than 100000 net revenue al
ter fixed charges on the power Sys-
tenn, and this should increase
steadily to a maximum OF ABOUT
S240 OSO by l945. Thereafter no ma
terial increase is to be expected
from sales of electric energy in the
Imperial Valley.
Sales of electric energy IN other
areas such as the Coachella Valley
will require additional capital IN
vestments and correspondingly IN
creased charges. Should economic
conditions develop justifying sucn
expension of the power system ol
Imperial Irrigation district, some
additional net revenue might be-
come available for service of other
obligations. In our opinion, no ren-
ance should be placed upon possible
net income from such sources.

EDITOR. PoST-PREss:

EDITOR, POST-PRESS:
Did you notice at the Holtville meeting OF
the Associated Chambers how a couple of cow
boys roped and hog-tied a resolution condemn
ing any reciprocal trade agreement admitting
beef into this county from Argentine? In case
you took notice of this feat (which few per-
sons present in their desire to hear Mr.. Fits
had to say. did and considering that these
cowboys probably buy more meat than they
sell (aS do majority of the membership OF
the organization they represenD and that
suspension of the rules was deemed desirable
don't you think this action partook more OF the
nature of "rustlng" than "wrangling'? Being
producer of meat I have labored under the i'm
preston that the recently much discussed house
wives strike was an indication of resentment at
high meat prices which this resolution proposes
to boost.
However being neither cowboy or tariff eX-
pert I am perhaps out of place. being critical
of what seems to me left-handed logic OF those
who seem to want to return to those conditions
that obtained in the years of highest tariff on
beef namely 1880 to 1888.
And quite possibly I missed the whole point
possibly I should look elsewhere than peel
prices for the real inspiration and purpose OF
this resolution.
Very truly yours (Signcd)
