IT'S up TO THE
FOUR NEW MEMBERS

With four new members Of the I'M

sponsibility of proving Governor Culbert
L. Olson either good administrator or
a pork barrel politician.
The four men (tWo appointed last
year, two appointed this week. can prove
by their conduct that the governor MAS
wise in appointing them, or they can
prove that his action was nothing more
than any attempt to use every means al
his disposal to build up a political ma

Whatever the four Olsen appointerS
do will reflect upon tie governor; it can
reflect credit or il can reflect dlScred!t.
There IS no good TO be had now from
a review of the events that led up 10
appointment of the new members. There
should be no room for bitterness over
what has gone before The job now 10
be done is to make the next county fair,
and all succeeding county fairs, as good
as possible.
To that end, he new members deserve
all the cooperation they can possibly Re-
ceive from the public and from veteran
members Of the board. They. on the
other hand, owe all the cooperation they
can give to those other. Older board MEM

Gated to business administration, would

Gov. Olson to reflect in their dealings
with the newly appointed members. The
eight men on the board have one job to
do-make the fair successful. To do
that one job they've got to work together.
The Imperial county fair has mar

WHY COMMUNISTS ARE
INTERESTED IN RELIEF

Why all the bluster about Communists
holding exalted positions in the Callfor-
MIA Setup?
Why all the excitement among Cali
fornia Legislators about Communist m
filtration amos reii~t workers.:
There are several very good reasons.
1t is not that the Legislators dislike Com
munists as persons or for partisan rea-
sons. 1t is not Just because 4 red hunt
is good politics. There are deep seated,
basic reasons why it is dangerous to
have Communists guiding relief agen-
cies, or any other governmental agen-
ceS.
Communists, dedicated to bringing
about overthrow of the present govern
ment use many means to further their
program. They stir up class hatred
What better place to do it than in
relief agency? They believe that if they
can spend enough Of the governments
money, it will 60 broke-and chaos will
follow. Where can they find better eX-
cuses to spend money than through re-
lief? They want to train people that
the government should support them.
How do it better than through relief?
Those are some of the reasons Com
munists are dangerous when they gain
power in relief--or any other govern
mental agency.

Famous Sayings
Opera Turns
To the People

1t waj proven long ago that the
opera IS not merely doWager's
monopoly--a sort of esthetic fashion
show. The commonest OF common
men enjoys this venerable form of
musical entertainment quite as
much as the jewel-sprinkled social
empress OF Newport.
The Metropolitan Opera Associa-
ton of New York scanned its books
recently and discovered that its ia
nous old opera house might have
10 clos" shop unless the humber
lovers Ot music were willing TO come
forward with some folding money
about $l.000000. The old endoW-
ment system among wealthy patrons
was cracking up. The Little Man
all over the country was quick to
