Chapter AN. p. f. O., will hold
Imperial Valley press. (El Centro, Calif.) 1907-current, 1940-03-22
LET'S HAVE THE ISSUES
OUT IN THE OPEN

Whatever you think of the platforms
stated by Candidates John B. McNeece
and John k. Robertson in the Ell Centre
council race, ii is apparent that these
platforms placed squarely before the
people the issues upon which three men,
hers OF the council will be elected
The other candidates are yet to be
heard from, but it is to be expected that
they will declare their stand on the mat
tiers brought out into the open by Nc
Niece and Robertson. 1t is only fair to
the voters that they should do so.
We, the voters, cannot make our selec-
ton wisely until we know where all can
didates stand on the most vital issues of
the campaign, and have Judged their
ability to carry out the things they pro-
pose. We would be foolish to make up
our minds without knowing what the
men who are seeking office propose to do
if they are elected
It has been generally recognized, in
street corner and casual conversation,
that police department administration,
city governmental efficiency. and mora
forum ON politics by those in office are
the issues 10 be decided at this election.
Now the issues have been pulled out
in the open, laid bare for discussion.
Experienced politicians perhaps would
hesitate 10 voice stand on such c0ntrO-
versial matters. 1t is to the credit of
McNeece and Robertson that they did not
hesitate.
We do not want politicians in city gov
eminent We want business men who
will conduct business administration.
We want to know how the candidates
stand on the issues involved. We want
to hear their platforms from the candi-
dates themselves, not by street corner
gossip.
From among those who do tell where
they stand the voters should choose
their public officials Toward those who
remain silent suspicion is naturally dir
ccted.
Lets let the election decide the issues
after thorough dscusEion-with the can
didates participating, not merely nod
ding their heads.

PLANNING FOR THE
VALLEYS FUTURE

One Of the greatest influences for last
ing good in Imperial Valley today is the
economic planning program sponsored
by the extension service of the University
of California; resulting in such economic
planning conferences as that held earlier
this week.
The only possible objection to these
conferences is that they are not held often
enough. One conference every month, or
every two months, would not be too many.
The public should not be frightened
by the title, economic planning confer
ence.' 1t is, after all, purely meeting
of 90 or hundred farmers and bust
ness men, sitting down together to dis
cuss the things the community needs for
its greater faster development
Imperial Valleys future is wrapped
up in such conferences. It lies in the
hands of the farmers and business men
who attend them. and participate. The
man who takes no interest in the future
can hardly expect it to hold much for
him. The same is true of community.
Imperial Valley can make its future
and is doing so. through such institutions
as the economic planning conferences.
All praise is due those who conceived,
arranged and carried out the recent con-
ference, and will arrange others.
II is the sort of thing Imperial Valley
needs

NOT A PRIVATE MATTER
{ Kansas City Times)

Mr.. Roosevelt says he is tired of third
term questions and talk, and so are all
of us. We should have preferred to have
the matter settled long ago. Mr.. Roose-
welt is the one person who could have
settled 1.-THE one person who can settle
it now and end the question about it.
But he says he will do it in his own
good time, not before. Thus it becomes
a personal, private matter with Mr..
Roosevelt.
1t is not private matter and it cant
be made so. 1t is public question Of vital
Importance to the whole country. 1t has
been that kind CT question with other
presidents. People discussed it; they
raised questions about it.
People should continue to do it now.
What's more they will
Strangely enough, while he is showing
his impatience and ohjecting vigorously
to inquiries as to his own position on an
issue of national Importance, Mr.. koose
welt is saying absolutely nothing-mak
ing no complaint Whatever-abOut the
open and undercover work being done
by certain of his supporters in the inter-
est of a third term.
He is not complaining about Boss kel
ly of Chicago, who is urging a third term.
He is not complaining about Boss Hague
of Jersey City He is not complaining
about Guffey of Pennsylvania, who would
like to regain his hold as a boss in that
state and is trying to swing onto the tail
of third term kite. He is not complain
ing about Ickes or Wallace, or about Tom
my Corcoran, the smooth working inside
man. He is not complaining about moves
to line up delegates in his support
No wonder that people are concerned;
no wonder that questions are being asked.
