conscription bill started in the
house. Only two days we're allotted
for discussion of the bill itself. But
the measure is open to amendments
and a final vote is not expected
before Friday or Saturday.
The amendment was proposed by
Rep. j. Joseph Smith D., Conn, and
the committee agreed to sponsor
it on the house floor by vote OF
12-11, according to Chairman An
drew j. May
The Smith amendment would en-
power the president to place orders
with any companies. Compliance
with such orders would be obliga-
tory. If the company refused to fur
nish war supplies to the government
at what war or navy officials con-
sidered a reasonable price. the pres
ident would be authorized "to take
immediate possession" of their
plants. Companies or individuals
failing to comply with the provi-
sions of the amendment would be
subject to Imprisonment for three
years and a maximum fine of
s50,00o.
"A fair and just" compensation
would be paid to companies as a
rental while their plants were being
used by the United States.
The chief difference between the
Smith and Russell amendments is
that the Russell amendment pro-
yides for the government to ac-
quire the property of non-coopera-
tive firms through condemnation
proceedings. The Smith amend
ment does not authorize condem-
nation.

Final Votes in
Election Tailed
By Supervisors

Final votes in the Auguss " pri-
mary election were checked and
tailed Tuesday by the Imperial
county board of supervisors, but re-
suits will remain a mystery until
Wednesday.
Clerks acting for the supervisors
began Tuesday morning to check
registration and signatures ON more
than 1000 absentee ballots which
must be added to the totals counted
a week ago. 1t appeared unlikely
that the actual counting of votes
for various candidates would begin
before Wednesday morning.

day in which 25 persons, including
Sen. Ernest Lundeen, FL. Mimi,

McCarran, author of the original

said that he would offer a resolu-

down a back road that was rutted
and several inches deep in dust
when the car began weaving from

today.
De Forest, television and radio

for a robot plane designed primarily
for reconnaissance, but with facil-

torpedo.
The plane still is in the blue

completion of an experimental model
was expected soon. De Forest said
the planes could be manufactured
under mass production at cost of
around $500 each not including the

Last year tne taxpayers were
called upon to pay $1,242,OOO. This
year they will pay $1,232,OOO. The
$4,000 difference is accounted for
by a reduction in assessed valuation
this year under last
Net assessed valuation in 1939-4O
was $32,979,053. For the 1940-41 fis-
cal year it is $32,696,543. Thus as
sessed valuations this year are $685.
510 below those of last year. For
this reason district directors looked
upon the new $3.77 assessment rate
as a sharp reduction under last
years rate.
District officials pointed out that
the reduction was made in spite
of quarter of million dollars
damage in the May 18 earthquake
to the canal system.
The $4,000 reduction in the
amount taxpayers will turn in to
the district treasury represents a
slash in only one item on the dis
trict treasury-the only fluctuating
figure in the budget. The entire
Reduction was provided through
cutting operation and maintenance
costs.
The new levy is intended to raise
$725, 900 for redemption funds to
pay interest on bonds and warrants
and provide for their retirement;
$150,000 for drainage; $4,000 for
the emergency fund; $4,000 for the
annual payment on Laguna Dam;
and $232 GOO for operation and
