the money for reward but return
her the purse and its contents.
This can be returned either to the

erage that EXISTS in King County
is the result of the comprehensive
recording system that has been in
stalled by Roy 3. Misener and
which was SO very favorably COM
mended by Seattle experts recent
ly. This system not only brought
about replacing of many missing
parcels of property on the tax roll
but also resulted in the securing
of a low valuation rate on smaller
tracts.
Average taxes per room in Sc
attic apartments are 1851, as
compared with the national aver
age of $18, according to the Stats
tics recently released by the ma
tional body.
Average taxes per. room on sin
gle-family houses in Seattle are
S13.79 as compared with the ma
tional average of 500.
Taxes on Seattle homes average
1921 per year The national av-
erage is S177.39. Citizens may at
any time have free access to the
indexed records at the assessors
office which show the rapid pro-
gress of the project, its startling
discoveries of untaxed properties,
and numerous exposures of tax in
equalities which are rapidly being
rectified by Roy B. Misener.

PENSIONS BRING RUSH OF
CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS
conscious
(Palo Alto Times)

Now that our old age pension system
under the social security act has increas-
ed the desirability Of United States citi-
zenship in the eyes of aliens of long resi-
dence here, there is a great massing Of
applications for naturalization. Many
of those now desiring the status Of citi-
zenshp here have been in this country
for so years or more.
Courts should use a fine sitter in pass
ing on naturalization applications. Those
alien residents whose appreciation of
citizenship is rooted solely in the cash
value it will have for them under the
pensioning system are unworthy of the
boon. They may be compared to persons
who, having never taken out any fire in
surance policies, would run to the agents
to get protection when they saw flames
from a nearby conflagration sweeping
menacinglv toward their own property.
Having stunned participation hitherto
in the fund that makes Insurance pay
ments possible to those who suffer loss,
they of course would not be eligible for
insurance under those circumstances.
The aliens who have lived here for
half a century but neglected to become
citizens and so escaped the concomitant
responsibilities have no right now to cash
in on the benefits Of citizenship in death

1T ISN'T THE HEAT =
IT'S SOMETHING ELSE

Imperial Valleys first heat death of
1888 has been reported Beloved, 60-year
old Luther Hughes was the victim.
1t is not pleasant subject, but it is
one we should not overlook. Several such
deaths were reported in the valley last
year, Jumped under the term cheat
death" Actually not one of them was a
bona fde death from heat. Realizing
this, no Imperial Valley resident need
fear the summer weather.
Last years deaths could be listed un-
der two heads: weakened physical condi
ton due to age, complicated by heat and
over eXertion; and drunkenness, compli-
Gated by heat. In no case was the heat
alone to blame for any fatality. There
are other communities, notably in the
supposedly temperate middle west that
cannot say the same thing.
Knowing the facts, residents here can
do two things if they fear heat prostra-
ton. They can avoid drinking intoxicat-
ing liquor to excess, and, if past middle
age. they can avoid strenuous eXertion.
These are the only precautions neces-
Sary.

thoughts for the Day
A LOT or THINGS
WE DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE

Usually special issue Such as the
forthcoming Anniversary number of the
Post-Press is regarded in a newspaper
office as just lot of work. Fortunately
for the nerves of a hard working staff,
the anniversary issue is the exception
rather than the rule
Not that ii isn't a lot of workout the
work is intensely interesting. 1t is eX-
tremely enlightening, as we'll Delving
through old newspaper files and older
documents, interviewing pioneers and
scanning musty governmental records,
the newsphpermen turned researchers
Valley they never knew before
Many persons who arrived in Imperial
Valley after 1907 believe the famous
county seat fight was waged between
Brawley and FL Centro 1t was not. The
big fight was between Ell Centre and
Imperial, with Brawley playing a minor
role.
Many pioneers have forgotten that Ell
Centre had another name when it was
founded.
Only those who here then, in the main,
remember the great flood that almost
inundated Imperial Valley was in reali-
ty not one flood, but several.
There will be lot of argument, even
among the pioneers, after the anniver
sary issue appears. Facts will be dis
puted and dates will be argued. The is
sue will be read in many homes from
first page to last. Realizing this, the
Post-Press had extended every possible
effort to authenticate all facts with the
best possible authorities. Memories are
tricky things, but written records provide
MANY clues.

SOUND ADVICE TO
TAXPAYERS GROUPS
(HaVerhill, Mass, Gazette

(HaNerhlll, Mass, GdIelle)
The soundeSt Of advice to taxpayers
associations was given by W. J. Ryan IN
a letter to the Forum.
First, he said, make the small taxpayer
tax conscious, not only the owner OF an
humble home, but all the little fellows
who, directly and indirectly. pay the ma
tons huge tax bill
Then, he said, explain simply how
money collected in taxes is spent by
government. with particular emphasis
on local expenditures over which local
people have no control.
Next, he urged. work through other
associations for reduction of county,
state. and federal expenditures; local
people pay a share of them, share
about which they have little To say, but
which adds tremendously to the burden
of taxation that they bear.
Finally, he advised, strive for decen-
tralization of government, for return OF
power control and responsibility to in
divdual communities. especially with re-
gard to local affair and local services
The basic fault with local efforts to
promote economy in government is that
the local authorizes have too little to say
about local expenditures Mayor Dal-
rymple repeatedly has pointed out that
half of Haverhill's budget Is beyond
Haverhill's control Ii is made up of
expenditures imposed ON the city by re
mote government, beyond direct reach
of the people who pay the bill. After
all economies have been made IN eXpen-
ditures that are directly under local
control adequate economy will not have
been accomplished.
Then the attention of the taxpayers
association should be directed toward
reducing the costs that are imposed on
the city by county and state and federal
governments. This task involves coop
GRAFTON of all taxpayers organizations.
So far as we can see it is a task that no
other organization can perform.
First, however there must be cam
paign of education designed to do what
Ryan proposes - make everybody tax
conscious.
