The Foe Within

In our battle for justice we must
realize that there are thousands of
traitors within our own ranks-men
and women who, having mortgaged
their own craven souls to our en-
emies, are willing and anxious to
sell out our group for a mess of pot
tage. In myraids of instances they
have already done so. Many of these
beings are like moles which burrow
beneath the surface, and they have
by their pernicious activities placed
the entire structure of our rights in
peril. The vilest, cruelest, most bru-
tai, craftiest, most venomous, and
most cold-blooded outspoken enemy
is far less dangerous than the vile,
crafty, Sinking, snake-like burrow-
ing foe within!

WISE SAYINGS

1t costs a bee its life to sting. It
costs mortals almost as much.
Sneers scar. Smiles heal.
Self conceit is self destruction.
Imperial Valley press., 1939-03-12
BY RALPH ii. TAYLOP
Executive Secretary, AgrICulturai
Council of California;


EDITORS NOTE: This is the
second in a series of articles by
Ralph H. Taylor, farm leader and
legislative observer, deaIing with
the many proposals before the
Legislature to create new depart
ments. new regulatory boards and
new governmental services.
Satirically, the charge has been
made, in recent years, that present
day government seeks to regulate,
license, inspect and censor the ac-
tivities of its citizens from the
cradle to the grave" But even that
seemingly broad and all-incluslve
objective fails to encompass some
of the proposed legislation pending
before the 1899 State Legislature.
For there are bills this year to
make certain that government is
remembered in your Will-whether
or not you have included it in the
list of your beneficiarieS- there
is another bill creating State
Eugenics Commission which might
have a good deal to say in the fu-
ture about who could be born -
and who their parents may be!
1t is not this writer's purpose
to condemn, condone or advocate
in the following review of the varied
assortment of bills now before the
Legislature to broaden govern
ment's services and regulatory
powers Each measure must stand
or fall on its own merits, but cer-
tain it is that if all or most of the
new department. bills now pend
ing should become law. California
would have a New Bureaucracy
that would reach into nearly every
phase of human activity and that
would be exceedingly costly to the
taxpayer
Good, bad and indifferent, here
are some of the proposals:
A. b. 1887, creates State Eugenics
Commission of five members to con-
duct scientific research and report
back to the 1941 Legislature with
recommendation as to legislation
that will tend to eliminate the "un-
fit and to increase the proportion
of citizens thoroughly sound In
body and mind.

1 have urged the planting OF
Canary Island palms so often in
these articles that L hesitate to
mention them again lest I be
thought TO be slightly "wacky" on
the subject, as perhaps I am. But,
at any rate, 1 am not alone in my
admiration of the Phoenix Canari-
ensis. know a man in suburb
of Los Angeles who owns couple
of better class rent houses. These
houses are on adjoining lots and
are identical in every respect eX-
cept that there are a couple OF
very fine canary island palms In
the front yard OF one of them. The
owner tells me that he has nc
trouble in getting ten dollars more
per month more for the house
with the palms than he gets fol
the other one. $120 per year is
perhaps a pretty good interest up
on the investment involved in g
couple of palm trees.
When people came to southern
California to spend the winter
and to spend their money, they
are looking for something differ.
ent They are looking for tn,
glamour and the romance which
the word "California" conjures W
in their imaginations. When they
find palms they feel that they have
found something of that glamour
and romance, and they are willing
to pay for it.

MODERN FROM SHINGLES DOWN
THAT'S DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW
". @. W0RTENDYKE RESIDENCE

Modernization is the keyword at
the newly constructed w. o. Wor-
tendyke home on 10th and Adams
streets in Ell Centre, according to
Aubrey Moody, builder.
From the aluminium painted
shingled roof to the cement foun-
dation proved materials have been
used in the construction, Moody
said.
From the exterior you would
have to agree with the builder and
owner. It's the most modern ap-
pearing small home in the city.
And, when you enter the house,
you will realize that even the
builder has run short of adjectiveS
in his description of the home.
The living room, made more
attractive by careful selection OF
furniture, is finished in tan paint
ed stucco. The first thing you no.
tice, however, is the small grill at
the top of the room, which Walter
Wortendyke describes as duct sys-
tenn outlet.
The duct serves as a dispenser
Of warm air in the winter time
and vice versa in the summer. A
regular excelsior cooler supplies the
cool air for summer comfort. but
the cooler is built above the back
porch and throws the cool air into
the duct system from that point.
