Delinquencies Grow

basis. but delinquencieS the next
year-beginning of the depression
in Imperial Valley-prevented an
attempt by the directors to do So
As a result the board in 1881 de-
cided to inaugurate a so cent water
toll. ana during ensuing months
were forced to- pay employees and
make purchases half in warrants
and half in cash.
The emergency lea to the 1882
refunding program. under which
bondholders agreed to postpone
principal payments from 1893 thru
1887. with the understanding they
would start again in 1898. At the
same time the bondholders agreed
to accept a so per cent reduction
in interest in 1888, with the reduc-
ton on a sliding scale until 1887,
when it again was to reach 100 per
cent.
AS a result the district in 1888
faced obligations Of S1,178,000 in
addition TO the claims on accumu-
lated principal and interest by
bondholders who had not joined in
the 1882 refunding program, and
who could not be forced to join
because a federal municipal bank
ruptcy act was declared unconsti-
tutioral
District directors, because of the
valleys economic condition, were
1 forced in 1897 to disregard the
amounts due and levy for an arbi-
trary sum of s7O5,OOO to care for
bond principal and interest, Hewes
said. Resulting discord between the
district and bondholders resulted
in the plan now proposed.
The present proposal was arrived
at only after breakdown in ef-
forts by the district to obtain Re-
construction Finance Corporation
financing. Hewes declared Hewes
prepared the present proposal with
that rejected by the RFC board
after it had received approval in
the RFC drainage division.
The RFC proposal, if it had beer
approved. would have provided an
annual carrying charge of S713,O 900
and would have included a $1,000,
600 loan for drainage but it would
| have allowed the same pyramiding
Of delinquencies now existing. As
a result there would have been no
assurance Of a maximum sum be-
yond which the district could not
20 in levying for bond funds.
Maximum Limit
The present proposal would pro-
vide a S725 600 annual carrying
charge. 100000 for drainage, and
would make $500 900 the maximum
limit Of leYies for bond purposes,
Hewes said.
II the present plan is approved
by bondholders, state security COM
mission and voters, and is agreed
to by IS 2-3 per cent of the bond
holders, it will be taken into federal
court under the present municipal
bankruptcy act in an effort to
force any dissenting bondholders
70 join in the program, Hewes said
Unless the plan is approved, the
district president added, there i,
danger that bondholders now ready
! TO deal with the district will be-
come impatient, take their claims
into court, and force upon the dis
trict expensive litigation over q
period Of many months,
In addition, HeWes pointed out
delay may bring changing condi-
tions with resultant change in
the attitude Of bondholders who
now will agree to the program.

The district president opened the
discussion with an outline of var

THIRTY YEARS OF Farm POWER

Speaking at the Conference on
Power, at the Institute on Northwest
Affairs, in Portland. Oregon, Berk-
eley Snow, Secretary of the North
west Electric Light and Power Asso-
citation, discussed the remarkable
progress that has been made by the
private utilities in extending electric
service to the farms of Idaho, Wash
ingtOn and Oregon. This is of more
than regional interest, as it is indi-
cative of what other utilities have
achieved in other areas-nOtably in
New England, California and the
Middle Atlantic states.
One of the first, and possibly the
very first. rural electric line in the
United States was constructed in the
Hood River Valley, Oregon. more
than 30 years ago. Development
came slowly, but by 1928. 12 per cent
of all the farms in Idaho. Oregon and
900 in number-were
electrified. Since that time there has
been steady progress, and in 1897
more than 10000 farms in the three
states, representing nearly so per
cent of the total number, had ser
vice.
Furthermore, If only farms having

THE CRUCIAL ACCIDENT PERIOD

The automobile death and accident
rate has shown a steady decline for
number Of months. But now the
crucial test period is at hand.
We are entering the most dang
erous driving months. Fall brings
rains, to be followed by the fee and
SHOWS Of winter, all Of which i'm
measurabIy increase driving haz-
ards. Equally important, these sea-
sons bring shorter days-and the ac-
cident rate at night, is much higher
than in daylight.
The wise driver will prepare for
this dangerous period. And prepara-
tion should take two forms. Put
your car in first-class condition, so
far as brakes, lights, tires and steer
ing are concerned. And put yourself
in the proper mental condition for
safe driving. Never forget that the
human element is the responsible
factor in the great majority Of ac-
cidents. Before anyone can drive
safely. he must think safely. He
must know the hazards he faces, and
he prepared for them. This safety
consciousness" is the first and most
vital essential of accident preven-
tion.
Remember that chance-taking isn't
clever. Any fool can push the throt-
tie to the fioorboards. pass on hills
and curves. disregard adverse wea-
ther conditions. and perform similar
acts Of idiotic recklessness. Caution
is the product of intelligence.
Drive safely all the time. And be
especially careful in the fall and
winter seasons. Then the accident
rate will continue to go down.

dwellings valued at more than $500
are considered-and 1t Is apparent
that any farm with home worth
less is a poor prospect for any COM
modify or service not vital to the
maintenance of 1ife-the percentage
reached Is 66.4.
This certainly doesn't look as II
the private utilities are falling down
on the Job of serving the farmer
and it should be pointed out also
that in most cases rural rates are
the same, or very little higher. than
urban rates. The utilities in the
Northwest and elsewhere maintain
agricultural experts. who work with
the farmers and help them obtain
service and the right kind Of power
appliances. Every effort is made to
avoid over-selling the farmer-that
is, saddle him with an expense he
cannot comfortably meet. The utili-
ties are primarily interested in Civ
ing the farmer the kind Of service
he needs and can pay for. ~
This is what private enterprise
has been doing for 80 years. to bring
a tireless "hired man" to the farm,
It is an old story, in spite of DO
litical talk that would make one be-
lieve that rural electrification was
unheard Of prior to the govern
ment's power specialization program.

HOTTER PRIMARIES

There never have been such hard
fought primaries as those OF the
present year. This is all one Of the
results of changing our methods OF
Government. Now the President OF
the United States does not hesitate
to invade territory that was once
the preserve Of the actual residents
Of the States.
He gets licked most of the time.
The change followed the RESPONSE
bIlity assumed by the Government
over public works, relief. highway
building, etc..-ail Of which were
formerly within the province Of the
different States.
So, naturally enough. as States
rights are wiped out. the big Gov
ernment steps in ard substitutes In
positions of authority.
You may not like the change-or
the results-but you have It. just the
same.

HOW CAN WE HAVE
CONFIDENCE?

The pickup in the stock market
which has been followed by minor
pickup in some lines of industry,
came as good news to America. But
the fact remains that no steady,
stable improvement can be antici-
pated until a start is made toward
solving some Of our major problems
one Of the most important of which
is taxation.
How can business have confidence
so long as the debt rises, the budget
gets farther out Of balance, and high
er or new taxes become imminent? =?
How can the investor feel justified
in taking a chance on placing his
money in productive, job-creating
enterprise so long as such punitive
taxes as the capital gains levy re-
main in force? How can corpora
tions feel optimistic toward the fu-
ture so long as such measures as the
undistributed profits tax make it i'm
possible to store up economic fat
against possible depressions Of the
future?
Business and investors don't ask
the impossible. The national debt
cannot be eliminated overnight-but
an honest start can he made toward
reducing It gradually. The bulge
cannot be balanced in a minute
but a program can be laid down and
held to that will achieve that end in
a reasonable time. The tax base can
be broadened, so as to give more
people a direct knowledge of what
government spending means to them.
And punitive. job-killing special
taxes can be repealed.
A country with an unstable fiscal
policy is a country in chaos. A coun-
try which continually spends beyond
its means is a country marching to-
ward bankruptcy. These are facts
that momentary changes in the bus
iness cycle cannot hide.

kindly and willingly delivered very
able and appropriate address on the

the older folks TO whom an appeal
was made for their cooperation in
saving the youth and building up a

Some OF the Bible references to

tention we're found in Proverbs, Chap
ter 20 and verses 81 and 32-"LOok
not thou upon the wine when II is
red, when il giveth his color in the
cup when Il moveth itself Alright.
At last IL biteth like a serpent and
