(By HAPPY HOWARD)
 The fifty or so odd bowlers of the Hopeyille league, after a two week layofY, due to the holiday season, will Timber up and take the kinks out of their muscles tonight at Sam Sena's Recreation center at g p. m.

 The first and most astounding happening took place somewhere be- tween the hours of g and Il p. m. Con the alleys of course) to wit: Rocco Perugini, better known as Muscles" entered the hall of fame by rolling the amazing total of 355 for three strings; which methinks looks pretty good for high three in class c. Beleive it or not here they are: 127-116-112. There's cigar waiting the first tnie you duplicate Rocco.

MAKE IT MORE THAN
A POLITICAL GESTURE

After SIX years OF experimentation,
the national congress has at last repudi-
ated the New Deal theory that you can
bring about prosperity by hamstringing
business with unjust taxes.
In a clean sweeping campaign con-
gressional committees this week approx
ed measures to prevent scheduled in
creases in social security taxation and
TO kill the vicious undistributed profits
tax which prevented corporations big
and small from laying away funds with
which later to expand their businesses.
The social security taxes already have
imposed a heavy load on many business
houses. Most of them have been forced
to employ an extra clerk or more for no
other purpose than to figure out what
they owe the government. They have
met the burden by reducing eXpendi-
lures elsewhere. And, contrary to New
Deal theory, they have not paid the tax
out of money which otherwise would
have been surplus. They have had to
take it out of operating funds and so
have curtailed operations = at the ex-
pense of the wage Garner.
The undistributed profits tax is even
more vicious. 1t levied an excessive tax
on what New Dealers conceived to be
surplus" capital, but what in most cases
was actually capital with which the
firm in question would have expanded
and improved its business or made prep
arations to hire new workers. Because
the corporations did not spend the money
as fast as it was earned, the New Deal
saw fit to call it surplus"
1t is safe to say that no other single
factor so surely retarded business pros
perity in the United States as the sur
plus profits tax
Now that congress has defied New
Deal economic theories in the belief that
six years Of failure is not representative
of sure success at some later, mythical
date, it is the hope of majority of
American business men that sound eco
nomic sense continues to prevail.
Prosperity will return when the great
est number of firms employ the greatest
number of persons-and that will not be
possible as long as the government puts
premium on success in business.
There are just and unjust taxes-and
tax on prosperity is the most unjust
of all, for it kills prosperity.

Editorials and Comment
WEDNESDAY, JUNE H. 1889
READER SUGGESTS MILK
CONSUMPTION BOOST
EDITOR, THE POST-PRESS,
DEAR SIR:

EDITOR, THE POST-PRESS,
DEAR SIR:
1t is a deploraple situation that in
dairy country our per capita milk con-
sumption is below the national average.
To alter the situation, | make this sug-
gestion.
Distributors milk must meet regulation
tests as to bacteria count and cooling.
However, according to dairymen we have
available in Imperial Valley twice as
much distributors milk as is used. Fifty
per cent of that sold is bought by dis
tributors at approximately AZ cents per
butter fat pound. This means about
16 cents per gallon for dairyman.
The distributor bottles this milk,
leaves it at stores and on doorsteps for
II cents quart, which is 4S cents gal
lon or three times the amount that the
man who has the cows, raised the feed,
built the $4,000 barn, received. If sold
in gallon lots the price is 40 cents
mere two and half times the amount
the producer gets.
The other half of the milk sold is
bought by distributors at Grade A prices
which at present are 81 cents per butter
fat pound, or about II cents gallon.
This is the same milk that is set on your
door step at II cents per quart.
AS stated in your paper we have an
under consumption of milk. The state
tuberculosis expert says we have 500
cases of active tuberculosis among val
ley children, which is little bit hard
to laugh off. This tubercular condition
is brought about largely by the lack of
plenty of good, rich milk. Many have
no milk at all. What can we do about
this?
In San Diego and Los Angeles they
have milk stations where the average
man can buy milk at reduced prices. In
this way many children get milk in suf
ficient quantities who otherwise, because
of high prices, would not be able to have
it. 1t also helps the hard pressed dairy
man. by bringing a larger consumption
of his product.
Can we not have these milk stations
in Ell Centre and every town in the val
ley? The distributors have twice as much
milk as they can and do distribute. One
half of this milk is paid for at II cents
per gallon or three cents per quart.
Why can't this be sold at milk stations
for 20 or 25 cents a gallon? Surely 100
per cent profit is enough to make on milk
when so many babies are under nourish-
ed and need milk so badly!
Respectfully yours,
ROY SHEPARD.

UNEASY LIES THE NATION
THAT EMBRACES A DICTATOR

News of Nationalist courts in Spain,
and the fantastic rate at which they pro-
nounce death penalties on persons they
judge to be enemies of the Franco gov
ernment, brings to the attention of Amer
leans again the blessings of Democracy
and the curse of dictatorship.
The courts are worse than those of
the Spanish inquisition. There is no ap-
peal from a death penalty which may
be imposed after a trial lasting no more
than five minutes. Execution follows the
same day, or the following day at the
latest.
Surely there can be no circumstances,
however harsh, to justify such procedure.
1t may be true that Franco forestalled
a Communist government in Spain, or
succeeded one, but he has proved his
own government no better than that of
the Communists.
We who live in a Democratic nation
can learn one valuable lesson from Spain.
II is a lesson we must learn if we are
to remain among the enlightened coun-
tries of the world. 1t is this
A dictator. be he Fascist or Commu-
mist, leftist or rightist, can retain his
power only by killing his opponents.
We want none Of that in America

Willis Thorntons Editorial on:
The Constitution, the Court, and the People

Supreme Court. Disputes as to the
meaning of any written instrument
must arise. To see that they are
settled in a way that protects the
guaranteed rights of laborer and
landlord. craftsman and capitalist,
tramp and tycoon - that Is the
courts function, and that Is the
function it has again vindicated.
The differing approach OF even
the majority in this case was IN
teresting. however. Justices Roberts
and Black turned to the l4th
amendment. securing TO citizens OF
the United States certain privileges
and immunities. Justices Stone and
Reed returned directly TO the due
process clause" of the fifth amend
ment; Chief Justice Hughes touch
ed both. But the interesting point
is this:
Justices Roberts and Black noted
that natural persons, and they
alone, are entitled to the privileges
and immunitieS which Section l OF
the 14th amendment secures for
citizens of the United States" And
Justices Stone and Reed noted
that g. the liberty guaranteed
by the due process clause is the
liberty of natural, not artificial,
persons"
Yet there is a whole body of de-
cisions in favor of corporations in
which successful appeal has been
made to one or another of those
clauses.
Is the Hague decision a forerun-
ner of future decisions which will
take the layman's position that the
civil liberties of the constitution
are the liberties of men, but not
necessarily those of inanimate and
mechanical corporations?

LOOSE TALK

Nevada State JOurnaD
If ever there was time when the
people of the United States need to think
clearly, to see the substance of things
and not the shadows, it is now.
The testimony of the Deatherages and
Moseleys before the Dies committee is
evidence that we are scooting into an
other of those periodic moments in our
history when people whisper and pass
dark rumors in corners rather than
standing up in the light and carefully
seeking to find the truth.
Nothing is more dangerous than this
And the only remedy is to pin down every
such rumor-mOnger with questions like
Exactly why do you believe that?" and
What is the. source of that informa-
tion?"
You hear them buzzing everywhere:
"fhey are going to take over the govern
ment!' "They are doing this, and plot
ting that"
Who are "they" anyway? Insist on
knowing, from the next person who but
tonholes you with some Of this gin-mill
and cocktail party stuff, exactly who he
or she means. Insist on knowing how he
or she knows about it in the first place.

now was Sne 10 90 II. wen, JIle
chance of getting out seemed far
away as the moon. But she DID
get out. and this is the exact meth
cd she employed.
She thought of the kind of work
she was best fitted to do. She had
a flair for writing and had written
a few short pieces for magazines
on housekeeping. That seemed the
best thing she had to sell. She made
a list of ten magazines and wrote
letters asking for interviews. Some
of them responded but when she
went in they found she had five
children they turned her down.
Didn't know anything except rails
ing children, they said.
When she had gone through the
magazine prospects she decided to
try getting a job writing advertis-
ing copy for a department store.
Then she made a decision which
changed her whole life. She de-
cided to capitalize on her liability!
This was the fact that most Of her
life had been spent rearing child
rem.
So she wrote a letter which be-
gan: you wish to sell to mothers
of children. l can be of help to
you in this as I am an expert in
this line. 1 have a laboratory of
five children and l work in 1t every
day. ! buy and plan for these chill
dren. and l know what women want
to buy from your store and I know
the best way to appeal to Them
There was more to the letter.
She said that their experts knew
all about the technique of writing
appealing ads-but none knew as
we'll as she what mothers wanted.
Her letter ended, Il have knoWl-
edge and experience that I doubt
any person in your store possesses.
I can make it work for YOU
Did her letter bring replies? Of
course it did! She was talking IN
their terms-telling them how to
make money by employing her.
She was given job. Every word
she had said about knowing what
mothers WdnJeu WdS luc' anu l"
was common sense to those expert
enced business men that mother
of five could not but know what
would appeal to other mothers.
And she made good She is now,
this very minute, doing promo
tionaI work in the magazine field
sending her children to school and
giving them every advantage.
This is the valuable thing she
did. She turned her liability into
an asset. Instead of letting the
children handicap here. she used
them to help here. Can't you do
that? Sit down and think out
what is your greatest liability-and
turn it into an asset!

Famous Sayings

Peoples feeling toward the U. 5.
Supreme Court, and toward the
Constitution as interpreted by that
court. are apt to be governed by
how the most recent decision agrees
with their own inner convictions.
When the decision agrees with
our own opinions, we cry with Shy
lock. ""Tis very true: o wise and
upright judge!" But when it does
not. we mutter of usurption and
tyranny.
1t is hard to see how the major
ity decision in the Hague case can
meet anything but general approV-
al, for the right of every man to
have his say, the right of all men
to meet together to hear each other
have it, is familiar and dear to
men who do not pretend any law
learning.
Stripped of legal verbiage, the
issue here is simple: Mayor Hague
said. no one can hold a public
meeting in Jersey City unless my
chief of police says so; 1 am the
law. But the Supreme Court says
no. Local mayors, local ordinances
may not nullify the general right
of free speech and free assembly.
Few who are not lawyers will find
much merit in Justice McReynolds'
curious contention that the essen
tial rights of the municipality to
control its own parks and streets"
is paramount above the general and
vital right of the people Of the
United States freely to discuss their
affairs.
In this case, the Supreme Court
has again vindicated its position
as the true and ultimate shield of
the right of the people. In repub-
lie governed under a written con-
stitution that is the function of a

WASHINGTON. - The govern
ment is getting first.hand expert
ence of the headaches which often
befall the employer. It is getting
the experience through the U. s.
Maritime Commission. one of whose
ships sailed squarely into n union
picket line when it docked at Seat
tie the other day.
Its all rather involved, so listen
carefully.
The Maritime Commission runs
some ships itself; others are run
for it by private corporations un-
der government supervision. on
these latter ships, the Maritime
Commission pays the crews, direct;
sends a check to each skipper each
month, out of which he makes the
payments. The operating agent,
thus, has nothing whatever to do
with the payment; and the crews.
as a result. are regarded by the
Maritime Commission as govern
ment employees
Being an employer of seamen,
the commission has tangled with
the unions about hiring. The unions
claim the government ought to hire
from union hiring halls, just like
the private companies which have
signed union contracts; the com.
mission retortS that its a fixed gov
ernment policy that membership or
non membership in any organiza-
tion cannot be a precedent to en-
ployment by the government.
Dominant seamen's union on the
cast coast is the CIO National
Maritime Union. 1t has agree
ments with several shipping COM
panieS, under which those COM
panies get their crews from NMU
hiring hallS-union sailors. When
the Maritime Commission started
hiring men, the NMU protested
vigorously. After a while, though,
ii decided to compromise.
It had all of its members reg
ister with the U. S. shipping COM
missioner in their respective ports;
and since it is the fixed policy of
