THE CITY ELECTION
IS YOUR BUSINESS

Two new councllmen will be elected IN
El Centre next Tuesday Four candi-
dates are seeking the two offices. Any
two Of the four may be elected.
Who will be elected will be decided by
the voters of El Centro-nobody else.
Since those to be elected will represent
all residents of the city, it can readily
be seen that all residents who are entitled
to do so should cast their votes next
Tuesday. We have said in other elections,
and we say again:
You will have no right to complain,
nor any right to praise what your city
officials do unless you discharge your
own duty by voting. If you don't vote.
it's the same thing as saying that you're
not interested in the way your city is
operated.
So, whoever you favor in the council
Tuesday
In this connection, one question seems
TO be botherng many voters.
DO we have to vote a straight ticket.
they ask.
The answer is no. The voter may place
his cross opposite the name Of any man
he desires to see in office He does not
have to vote for H. w Fawcett because
he votes for ?. L. Moore, or vice versa.
He does not have to vote for Chester Try
ing because he votes for P Z. Ryerson, or
again vice versa. He can vote for
Fawcett and Irving or Moore and Ryer-
son, or Irving and Moore, or Ryerson and
Fawcett. Or he can vote the straight
ticket-Fawcett and Moore, or Irving and
Ryerson.
These tickets" have nothing to do with
restricting the voters They mean, to
state it simply, that the men who have
linked themselves together on ticket
would like to be elected together. They
have cast their political fortunes in the
same lot it is their desire that you should
vote fer one if you vote for the other. But
you don't have to unless you want to.
Yoa can vote for whoever you choose
but VOTE
Remember, it's your city.

CAPITAL TALKS
by
Peter
Edison

WASHINGTON. April 10 - This
500 million congressional appropri-
alton to aid small business is only
the beginning.
As the Murray bill. it passed
the Senate 81 to 0. which sounds
little bit like Notre Dame VS..
VaSSar. and probably will go thru
the House Just as decisively after
the Easter recess for everyone loves
small businessmen in an election
year. But don't think for minute
this will solve the problem of small
business III wartime. A hundred mil
hon dollars for this purpose is just
teaser.
The Reconstruction Finance
Cooperation has already loaned
about SS billion or 50 billion to
big business for war production.
The S1O0 million for small bust
ness may last two weeks or six
months. depending on how the
act IS administered. But if the
experiment works, the cham
pions Of small business will be
back for more and they'll get it.
After all, what's S100 million.
It's the cost of only a couple of
cruisers. The country will probably
lcse a couple of cruisers before the
war is over and when a cruiser is
lost, it's lost forever. If the cost of
a couple OF cruisers or 20 cruisers
will be save American small busi
ness for use after the war is over,
it will be saved. even though the
entire 500 million or two or 20
times $100 million Is lost in the
process
As it stands now, this bill won't
help very many small businesses
very much. There is no aid here.
no hop of help for retailers, whole
salers. distributors. service business
eS filling stations, auto dealers or
the makers of goods for civilian
consumption. The simply aren't in
this picture, no matter how much
their business may have been hit
by war

MORE INITIALS

This bill will help-perhapS not
exclusively, but predominately-th
$4,000 small metal working manu-
facturers out of the total of 10000
manufacturers listed by the 1889
census as having fewer than 100
employees. Even limiting the initial
500 million to the $4,000 small
manufacturers it won't go very far
about S2,222.22 on the average
| That wouldn't much more than
build the garage and buy the truck
to haul the goods away-if there was
a truck to buy.
Of course lot of these small
manufacturers won't need help.
The methods by which he who
gets helped will get help from
this government Smaller War
Plants Corporation can't yet be
determined, for after all this
bill must pass the House and be
signed by the President before
it is law.
1t can be assumed that brand
new organization won't have to be
set up. The bill provides for ap-
pointment of special deputy and
a five-man board of directors by
War Production Chief Donald M.
Nelson. Under that, the Contract
Distribution Branch of WPB with
more than 1870 local offices scattered
about the country, could be taken
over by SWPC-call it Sweet
peace if that will help the name
stick in your mind-the Small War
Plants Corporation, and these local
offices would now be authorized to
do the job 1t wouldn't be necessary
for the $4,000 smaller manufacturers
to come traipsing into Washington
to get their loans The loans will be
brought to the smaller manufac-
turers, instead.
