THE FUTURE RESTS
WITH THE VOTERS

A large slice of Imperial Valleys fu
ture may be affected when voters of the
Imperial Irrigation District go to the
polls next Wednesday to choose directors
from three divisions. The results can
not, on the one hand, destroy the valleys
chance of progress. But they can, on
the other hand, increase them immensely.
Thus the job before the voters is a
constructive one. They can vote to in
crease the speed of our development, or
they can let the matter rest where it is
now.
A political battle was inevitable this
campaign in the Holtville division, where
Mark Rose is struggling to retain the posi-
tion through which he places the people
of his division on record with mo" vote
against everything that is proposed by
anybody else on the district board. In
the Calipatria division, however, it is a
matter of regret that the people did not
settle before the campaign on one strong,
straightforward candidate such as B. F.
Grubel. The Calexico-El Centro division
did, leaving President Evan T. Hewes un-
opposed.
Claude L. Shaw is carrying the hopes
of those in the Holtville division who be-
lieve that their vote, through their repre-
sentative on the district board. should be
regulaled Dy reasoning ana logic fatnef
than by deep-seated personal feeling
which dictates mo- vote, regardless of
the matter up for consideration. From
an outsiders viewpoint, it is apparent
that Shaw would be better able to rep
resent his district fairly and reasonably,
and at the same time advance the cOmbin-
ed interests of all Imperial Valley. He
should be able to do most for his own dis
trict, if only because his election would
wipe the slate clean of old grudges and
place the division on current basis.
In the Calipatria division, strength is
swinging to Grubel largely because of
the belief engendered by his years of
public service that he will be the most
able man in the interests of his own divi-
sion and the people as a whole. He en-
erges more and more as the logical candi-
date for election.
Many problems will face the distric:
in 1941 1t will take the utmost cooper
alton among district board members to
solve them. Cooperation does not mean
100 per cent agreement all of the time,
nor complete acceptance of any propos-
ed program. 1t means a calm, logical,
enon-political consideration of issues.
Shaw and Grubel, with Hewes, Charles
Morrow and w. J. Gregg, should be able
to provide such consideration.

(Sacramento Unlon)
California and the west have no rep

despite pleas each time there is a vacancy
that recognition be given to this section
of the country.
The nine members of the court, includ

Reynolds, all are from states east OF the
Rockies and with one exception from east
of the Mississippi.
Nearest approach to a westerner on the
court is Justice William Orville Douglas.
who was born in Minnesota and studied
law in Walla Walla, Wash.
Chief Justice Hughes, who is reported
ready to resign soon, is from New York,
as is Justice Harlan F. Stone. Justice
Owen j. Roberts is a Pennsylvania, JUS
tice Hugo Lafayette Black is an Alabam-
an. Justice Stanley Forman Reed is
Kentuckian. Justice Felix Frankfurter
is from Massachusetts though born in
Austria Justice Murphy is from Michi-
gan.
More than half of the geographical
area of the United States has no justice
of its own on the court. No one on the
court has first hand knowledge of the
many problems confronting the people in
this vast expanse of territory. This lack
of familiarity might have a strong influ-
ence on decisions in litigation arising in
the many states that are not represented.
The viewpoit of westerner would be
most helpful in Interpreting the laws

INDUSTRY SPREADS AROUND
{ Riverside Press)

NlklNciS Slut lcSSJ
An interesting development today is
the mobility of workmen, and this fact
grows more obvious as rearmament gets
into its stride. For the average work
man has a car, or can get one. And even
though it may be a rickety old jaloppy
that he bought in a junk yard, it will
run, and it may carry him as much as so
miles to and from his job.
Because this is so, various other facts
appear Factories for war materials do
not have to be located SO near cities or
towns. They can be, and are increasingly,
built out in the country, sometimes with
not home visible in the vicinity. With
level ground, water supply, highways
and railroad facilities, the manufacturers
know that materials and men will come
to them. Indeed, they may not even need
railroads; with good pavements, trucks
may serve the purpose.
There are many social benefits in this
situation, as by-products. Workers fam
lilies do not have to live in dirty or smoky
factory districts. They do not need to
move so often when their men get jobs
within driving distance Thus their chill
dren can remain in school and their So
cial life is not disrupted. Manufacture
spreads around more freely and can get
land more cheaply for its purpose and
distribute its benefits more widely. Slum
life tends to disappear
We see the beginning of time when
cities generally will be cleaner and sweet

Not One, a Million Leaders Needed

In times of stress and crisis
leadership is everything.
The United States needs leader

to be leader simply in his own

Nobody ever accused James Trus-

He is a conservative business man
turned historian. Yet he believes
that the American scheme of things
as living men have known it is
now being given its last chance.
In recent article in "Barron's." J."
Adams appeals to business men to
show themselves again capable of
the leadership which once made
them the heroes of America He
sees turn to the business man
from the politician, especially since
the defense drive has put so great
premium on efficiency. These
factors, he feels, have given the
business leaders a new chance, and
perhaps their last. to prove their
value to the great society and to
provide for it that leadership and
service without which no class can
permanently survive j.. E. -
Business leaders must realize.
Adams warns, that today "a high

says; every business man must

silly.
His day begins at $50 each

First item of business is always
