There can be little "passing of the buck". In
cooperatives the line of authority is as follows:
The store employees are responsible to the store
managers; the managers to the general manager;
the general manager to the board of directors,
the board to the members. The members select
the board and decide the broad policies of the

WHILE ON THE BUSINESS
OF AUDITING THE BOOKS

1t was shock to the municipal ner-
Vous system of El Centre TO discover
that its city water department bookkeep-
ing system was so lax that more than
$4,000 could be embezzed in less than
six months without being missed.
1t would be just as great shock to the
entire county TO find that a similar con-
dition could exist in some county depart
ment without being discovered No less
would be the dismay if ii were found
that the irrigation district has been oper-
ating under an extremely lax system.
Yet it is possible that undesirable sys-
TENS are in effect in both the county and
district, or either one separately. 1t is
more possible, probably, with reference
TO county government, since the district
of all municipal corporations in the coun-
ty, obtains the most complete and thor
ough annual audit each year On the 9TH
er hand, this Is to be expected, since the
district is broader in scope than the
county government. Comparably, per-
haps, the two are about even-up.
And how about the other incorporated
cities of Imperial Valley? Do their resi-
dents have any definite assurance that
what happened in El Centre could not
happen III tnelf towns
Perhaps Ell Centro's government was
the only one in which undiscovered en-
bezzlement was possible. Or perhaps the
same kind of thing could happen in the
county, the district, or in any of the other
cities in the valley.
1t is high time we were finding out.
If the new county grand jury did moth
ing else all year but investigate and re-
port upon the various bookkeeping and
auditing systems in effect in municipal
governments throughout Imperial coun-
ty, its year would have been we'll spent.
By uncovering one major fault in the
system employed by some governmental
branch, the jury might save the taxpay-
ers far more than the grand iury's SER
vices for the whole year will cost.
1t is assumed that all public officials
in the valley are examining their Setups
in the light of what happened in Ell Cen
tro, and will correct any undesirable
features just as the e. Centro city coun-
Gil is endeavoring to correct the things
which made possible theft of $4,000.
At the same time, however, the grand
jury could make sure that the systems,
new or old, employed by the public Off
cials are capable of preventing fresh
raids upon public funds.
The grand jury is just starting its
work. Its first case is consideration of
embezzlement charges against Mrs. Lii
liam Richards Little, former Ell Centre
water department clerk. In that case,
the grand jurors can find material for a
full year of investigation among munich
pal governments of the valley. The pro-
gram is ready-made. Only action is
needed.

PAMPERlNG
ALIEN CRIMINALS
Nevada State JournalD

A house bill providing for the auto
matte deportation of alien agitators con-
victed of or confessing to sabotage or
espionage in the United States has been
passed by the senate and WILL in all prob
abilities, become Law.
Senator Reynolds, Democrat of North
Carolina, complained of ''pampering and
coddling alien criminals" Senator Rus
sell, Democrat of Georgia, complained
that too much leeway has been given
various government departments which
have failed to act on definite proof of
the violation of American hospitality
by aliens trying to interfere with Ameri
can methods or to involve this country
in the quarrels of Europe. In former de-
bates on the subject long lists of alien
troublemakers have been submitted in
house and senate and demands made, un-
successfully, on the bureaus to explain
failure to act in cases where deportation
was called for.
It would seem that laws exist already
for dealing with this type of foreigners
who has none of the interests of this
country at heart, if they were sufficient
ly enforced Another law may make de-
portation easier, but it will not change
the attitude of those officials who place
political considerations ahead of the
duty they owe their own country to rid
it of conspirators against its safety and
best interests.

SCHOOL FOR SABOTAGE
(Christian Science MonitOr)

Six months investigatory work has
led to charges in New York against fif-
teen men, eight of whom have pleaded
guilty, of conducting school in methods
of sabotage and strike violence. During a
garment workers strike in the fall of
1888 this group, members of CIO ma
chinists union, are alleged to have given
instruction in how to throw acid on
show window without burning them
selves, how to ruin lock with needle,
how to wreck machinery quickly, and
how to maui strikebreakers.
The existence of such activities is dam
aging in the extreme to the labor move
ment and is deplorably misrepresenta-
tive of genuine trade union organization.
The perpetrators of sabotage and intimi-
dation are to labor unionism what chisel-
ers and exploiters of labor are to the
employer side of industry.

WASHINGTON.-The effort to
restore Puerto Rico to economic
health is about to hand the presi-
dent and Congress a saw-toothed
problem.
Gov William D Leahy Of Puerto
Rico, eX-commander of the U. S.
fleet. goes back to the island late
this month. Before he goes he wants
g showdown. IF he doesn't get what
he wants for the island, the presi-
dent is likely to have to find a new
governor soon.
The governor wants two things
modification of the Wage-hour law
and a humping boost in the island S
sugar quota. He'll probably get the
former; the latter can be had only
by a bitter complicated fight in
Congress
The governor would hike Puerto
Ricos sugar quota by at least 400
600 tons. Last year the islands
quota-its share of the American
sugar market-Was 743,000 tons, or
II per cent of q 6,755 000-ton mar
ket.
That will set off fireworks.
Setting sugar quotas is thorny
job always The so-called sugar
bloc" in Congress does it by intri-
cate debate and trading. In that
bloc Puerto Rico. as territory, has
no vote. Politically speaking, it will
be utterly impossible to give Puerto
Rico 10000 additional tons-or 400,
for that matter-out Of any other
domestic quota. The only quota that
can be cut is Cubas which last year
amounted to 1891 900 tons.
But if Cuba's quota-always de-
Tended valiantly by the State De
partment-is going TO be cut for
Puerto Rico, other sugar-producing
areas arc certain to demand similar
cuts in their favor too. Trying to
take 100000 tons from Cuba would

An item that attracted little at
tention few days ago announced
the death in action of Claus Krupp
Won Bohlen und Hallbach, 30, avia-
tor for the NaZi air force.
In a war that is taking thousands
of lives, young Krupp's demise
would be hardly be worth mention
ing if it were not for the ironical
fact that the flyer was the second
son Of Gustav Krupp Won Bohlen
und Hallbach, Germany's chief mu-
nitions manufacturer.
Young Krupp died while engag

ably, while tying to send some other

might have been.

Would YOU like to know what

Jimmy and Mildred Mulcay. I first
met them in New orleans and they
told me their story. And a most re-
markable story it is.
They were working in a floor
show at one of the night clubs
They are harmonica players, and
have what is considered the best
straight act" in the business.
Now comes the remarkable part:
They have come up so fast from
a hitch-hiking honeymoon that
Jimmy saiys he is going to make
million dollars before he dies. And
what do you suppose is the secret of
his success: Two fifty-cent mouth
organs and a sheet Of paper! The
sheet of paper which Jimmy carries
around with him all the time con-
tainS ten rules which have trans
formed his life.
The two had become proficient in
their act and had been booked for
tour of Germany and opened
there the day war started. They
played for a month, then went to
England, but now are back in AM
erica.
Now about that sheet Of paper
Jimmy says once he loved to
argue; liked to tell the other fell
low he didn't know what he was
talking about. Sometimes he would
even tell him where he got off, Yes,
Stree, he did! But after a long
career of arguing, he woke up to
the fact that argument didn't seem
to get him anywhere. So he stopped.
Then he adopted ten rules which he
finds are doing more for him than
all the arguments he ever thrust
on a wordy opponent Here they
are:
l. Smile
2. Talk in terms of interest to
the other man.
g. Never tell man he is wrong.
4. Make the other fellow feel i'm
portant. but do it sincerely.
5. Try to see the other fellows
point of view.
6. Remember a mans name
he will be we'll pleased!
7. Let the other man feel that
an idea is his.
8. Give a man a good reputation
to live up to-usually he will make
good.
9. Let the other fellow do a
great deal of talking. Good listen
ers are rare).
10. Avoid an argument.
Jimmy finds that he is getting
ahead faster since he doesn't waste
time arguing and life is a lot more
pleasant
If you are one who puts in his
oar at every chance, ask yourself
how often you have won in an ar
gument-and what good they have
done you, anyway
