HOLD YOUR HATS
FOR A LONG RIDE

(Tulare Advance-Register)
Get out your spectacles, your diction-
airy, and your law books!
With that November ballot less than
four months in the future, there isn't a
minute to lose if you're going to be in
position to understand the parade of
initiative proposals destined to stare
up at you from the ballot
There's a proposal intended to make
doctors write all their prescriptions in
English; another to label all doctors
'unskillfuP who have not performed at
least fifty major operations. There's a
squadron of tax acts and an assortment
of pension ideas. There's a measure to
create home for perennial drinkers,
and plans to change innumerable func-
tions of government.
That some peculiar laws win official
approval in such a miscellany of legis-
lative cure-alls is not to be wondered at.
Perhaps it was some such circumstance
as this that made church-going in South
Carolina illegal without gun; that de-
creed tail-lights for dogs in certain
states; that ordained sixth appearance
at young lady's door as an official pro-
posal of marriage under Maryland
statutes.
There seems to be no choice. We here
by dedicate a portion of our time be-
tween now and election eve to a study
of this years crop of ballot boners, a
study that's bound to uncover a few
peculiar breeds in the doghouse of pet
proposals.
Imperial Valley press., 1938-07-31
WHEN THE FINAL COURT
MAKES A RULING

California seems to be breeding
ground for unique, if slightly unwork
able, ideas. Perhaps it is the warm eli
mate.
Before the state supreme court is
petition designed to keep two proposals
off the state ballot in November. One
would provide for payment by the state
of $50 every Thursday to every Califor-
nian. The other is our old enemy, the
single tax, which would put the burden
of all taxation on property.
We are convinced it does not make
big difference how the supreme court
rules. If the propositions go to the final
court-the public-they will be turned
down as the impractical things they
are. I'VE are surprised only that there
were enough converts in the state to
provide signatures for initiative peti-
tions.
A state cannot pay every one of its
citizens $50 week for nothing without
going bankrupt, and neither can it avoid
bankruptcy if it places confiscatory
taxes on property, because soon all the
property would belong to the state and
then there would be no revenue what

is 1T LUXURY
OR necessity

Current revival of proposals for
more direct highway route between I'M
perial Valley and the Laguna mountain
resort brings up again the question of
funds-Where they come from and what
else they could be used for
If money for the proposed construction
comes from forest service funds, and
could not possibly be used for other
meritorious road projects in Imperial
county, there can be no logical objection
to the project. If, on the other hand.
these funds could be used for such pro-
Jects as farm-to-market roads within
the county, then serious consideration
should be given several opposing argu-
ments.
1t is self-evident that the hundreds of
fine summer cabins at Laguna and the
ideal summer climate there makes it
a superlatively attractive spot for week
ending and vacationing valleyiteS, nor
can there be any denial that a highway
shortening the distance to Laguna by 30
miles would be of great service to valley
residents travelling there. There are sew
eral objections, however, which have
considerable logic.
One is the old argument that appears
in any discussion of plans to connect
CaleXico and Coyote Wells, that the
route would too nearly duplicate an eX-
listing highway without serving another
populated community along its route.
The Laguna road would call for con-
siderable expenditure without servicing
any material population except at its
origin and terminal
Also there arises the question of the
number of valley residents who would
benefit. If the route provided a large
number with what they eagerly desire,
it should be seriously considered. If,
on the other hand, it served only a few,
then the money had better be spent else
where.
There is to be considered, too, the
appropriation for re-aligning Mountain
Springs Grade, and probable additional
appropriations in the future for i'm
provement of Highway 80. If Laguna
road appropriations would come out of
the same fund that furnishes money for
Highway 80 work, the latter might suf
fer by approval of the former
Surely public funds available for
highways should be spent where they
will do the most good for the greatest
number of people. Luxury roads should
be last, not first, on the list.

DRIVER REALTGNHENT
Sacramento UniOnl

iSdCFdnlenlO O0lO0)
More stringent rules governing auto
mobile drivers are urged by Fred D.
Parr, president of the California Safety
Council.
Speaking before a regional conference
of the council at Los Angeles, Parr said:
"a man plotting a ship has to undergo
a rigid course of instruction and pass
strict Xaminations-yet his course is
the entire ocean. The operator of loco
motive must abstain from liquor while
on duty-yet he operates his train on a
right of way. But in the case of automo-
bile traffic, we permit every Tom, Dick
and Harry to take out on congested
streets a 90-horsepower vehicle and op-
crate it fleXibly, with only superficial
examination of the driver"
PARIS point is too obvious for fur
ther expatiation. Our automobile death
toll of almost 100000 annually is our
own fault.
Under England's new tests for auto
mobile drivers, 27 per cent of the appli-
cants failed to pass. We're so much
smarter, one would think our drivers
tests were formulated and directed by
the undertakers.

but the incident made so deep an
impression on the boy that he came
to dread cemeteries even when
he was grown. He knew it was
foolish, but there it was.
The boys name was Tubert Ea-
ton
Time passed and the boy-noW a
man-went to California, and got
a small job in a real estate office.
One day the company he was
working for bought a cemetery and
he was told to develop it. There it
Was-55 acres of deSolation. Gro
tesque tombstones of all shapes
and sizes.
An idea struck him that changed
the course of his life. If he had
to manage this graveyard, he would
do a superb JOB of it. He would
build a beautiful cemetery; a ceme-
terry that was keyed to Hope in
stead of Defeat.
He told the managers he wanted
to put in sweeping lawns, tower
ing trees, splashing fountains,
beautiful statuary, and a pipe Or
gan.
They said he was crazy.
He persisted. He pleaded, he
drew blueprints, and made models
of the kind of cemetery he visioned.
He told them he wanted to buy a
fine piece of statuary that had
been on exhibition at the San
Francisco Worlds Fair Then they
knew he was crazy.
But the amazing man persuaded
them to let him buy it. Later the
same board of directors let him
buy 81 statues at one time without
murmur.
He built a replica Of the church
in Scotland where Annie Laurie
Worshipped. He built replica Of
the church at Stoke-Poges where
Gray wrote the immortal "Elegy
Written in Country Churchyard."
Trouble came down on his head
like hod of bricks.
The tombstone makers sued him.
The undertakers sued him.
But finally all suits were with
drawn, and his former enemies be-
gan to praise himl
He went to Italy and ordered a
stained-glass reproduction of Le-
onardo da Vincis masterpiece, The
Last Supper, made by the last
surviving member of a famous It
allan stained-glass family. Rex c.
Landry, Of Los Angeles, tells me
it was insured by Lloyd's of Lon
don, and that the premium paid
for the insurance was $500.

MONEY TO GAMBLE
..(Azusa HerdId).

1t is amazing TO visit Reno and watch
the gambling there Every store and res
taurant has at least one slot machine,
and if the churches don't then they're
passing up much better collection me-
thod than the old-fashioned style of
plate-passing ushers.
And on a Saturday night every gam
bling joint in the city is packed to the
doors, not only with visitors and six
week residents but with cowhands, bus
inessmen and-from the looks-families
on relief. And to watch them risk dollar
after dollar on the turn of cards, the roll
of dice or the spin of wheels is more than
eye-opening, it's pathetic.
Business may refuse to let loose of
money, but individuals are certainly not
on any spending strike. A visit to Reno
or Hollywood Turf Club will soon con-
vince you Of that.

Bob Burns

There are two great forces that
no one has ever been able to de-
scribe, electricity and love. Every
writer who has tried to define love
has contradicted every other writer.
One of the finest woman writer's
out here said, 81 know what love
is because / love my husband Z.
love is absolutely unselfish.'
Not long ago, while her husband
was i'm New York, l met her on the
street and she was all smiles. She
said, 81 just got letter from my
husband and he says he's miserable
away from me and I'm the happiest
woman i'm the world"

Bruce Cation Says

1t begins to look as if the Amer
ican people were at last beginning
to learn the facts of life-or of
death-in connection with their
automobile traffic.
For one reason or another, the
traffic toll is at last declining. The
decline is already great enough to
be noticeable; if continued thru
out the year at the present rate,
it will mean the saving OF some
five or six thousand lives.
SO far, the safety experts aren't
quite sure what has caused it.
The consensus seems to be that
it has no one cause, but is the
product of great number OF
things: better police work, the con-
struction of safer highways, the
cumulative effects of many years
of safety education, and SO on.
But in any case, the decline is
taking place, and it is one of the
most welcome bits of news imagin-
able.

News Behind
the News
HoOUer Speeches
Looking at 1910
RY RODNEY DuTCHER

w
Hoover's decision to make a series
of political speeches in September
comedies with a wave Of optimism
among friends of the former presi-
dent who hope to make him the
Republican nominee in 1910.
These friends find it rather easy
to tick Off other COP aspirants
one by one, winding up with the
conclusion that Hoover looks
stronger each month and that the
trend of events and Republican
political settlement definitely IA
vor him.
Chiefly they are encouraged by
the fact that the party and its
constituents indicate revived
trend toward conservative candi-
dates and conservative policies
They point to the Republican pri-
mary in Pennsylvania where the
relatively liberal Clifford Pinchot
was hardly beaten by the conserVa-
tive candidate for governor, Judge
Arthur H. James, and that in Iowa,
where arch-conserVative Lester
Dickinson was nominated for SEN
ator.
Hoover will be out in front as
the COPS big spokesman, unless
other party presidential aspirants
can figure out how to dim his light.
If no other Republican shows up
as an oratorical big gun in the con-
gressional campaign, Hoover is sure
to receive much credit for any
large Republican gains achieved
in the November elections.
Some of Mr.. Hoover's friends
even are beginning to suggest that
Senator Burton K. Wheeler, Demo-
crat, of Montana, would make an
ideal running mate for the sage of
Palo Alto.
Both friends and foes of Vice
President John Nance Garner have
salty, White-haired Texan is han
kering to succeed Roosevelt in the
White House. This story first stem
med from senators friendly to Gar
ner who are wont to gather in late
afternoons at Garner'S office when
Congress is in session. The vice
president is so chary about talking
to newspaper men that these Sena-
tors are about the only source of
information as to what he really
thinks.
More recently the belief began
to spread around the White House
and upper reaches of the New
Deal that Garner had been bitten
by the presidential ticket. And now
friends of the RFC Chairman Jesse
Jones, who was bitten long ago.
and hard-profess to see unmis-
taxable signs of it and are ex-
pressing themselves right sourly.
Current talk of a Garner Farley
ticket emanateS from the Garner
side of the fence and makes no
hit at all with the friends of Far
ley, although the postmaster gen.
eral and the vice president are on
very good terms.
Anti New Deal Democrats in
Georgia are beginning to express
doubt as to whether Senator Wal
ter F.. George or former Gov. Eu-
gene Talmad adge, campaigning
against the senator, has the best
chance TO beat U. S. District At

That shadowy future genera
ton" we like to refer our present
problems to will undoubtedly have
a terrible time understanding why
we ever put up with our traffic toll
for SO long. The thing was killing
more than 10000 people year,
as regular as clockwork, and in
juring perhaps ten times that
many. 1t made the casualty lists
of most of the battles the Ameri-
can army has participated in look
small. 1t was like an epidemic pes
thence which peopie lived with,
and callously accepted, simply be-
cause they couldn't do anything
else.
How will the inhabitants of a
saner world ever understand that?
1t will look as strange and as in
comprehensive to them as our
way of putting up with aerial
bombingS, armament races and
wars, our habit of settling indus
trial disputes with gun and club,
our acceptance of poverty in the
midst of plenty.
But the corner Is at last being
turned; which, probably, simply in
dicatss that we do learn things
II we are given enough time The
traffic problem isn't insoluble; we
are beginning to awaken to that
fact, and to do the things which
Will enable us to travel about the
highways without breaking our COL
lectlve neckS in wholesome lots.
And the same sort of thing will
probably be true, ultimately, of
those other problems.
There Is no natural law condemn
ing the human race to endless
wars, industrial battles, and peri
odic depressions.
Those things exist simply because
IL takes us a long time to learn;
and because we seem bound to do
our learning the hard wav. bv
getting wisdom beaten into our
heads.
But we do learn-eventually. It
takes us a long time, and we pet
pumped plentifully along the wav.
but IN the end, we get there.
