IS NO MANS LAND
TO BECOME A PARK?

1t is good to note that some work is
being done on the No Mans Land oppos-
ite the court house, tract normally re-
ferred to as Court House Park, but which
heretofore has more nearly resembled
Guadalcanal after bombing raid.
Even better than the clearing of the
area of dead trees and tangled under
growth. is the expressed intent of the
county supervisors of really making a
park out of this longtime eye-sore.
Apparently, there are no specific plans
as vet. due perhaps to the fact that there
is doubt as to legal status and reversion-
ary title effects. But indications are that
District Attorney Halliday is endeavor
ing to work out legal angles so that either
the city or the county can really make
place of beauty, rest and recreation out
of this valuable tract
1t is to be hoped that whatever is done
will be a complete and monumental job.
rather than a half-baked affair. There
is widespread desire to have this park
rival in beauty and attractiveness the
beautiful square in Brawley, and possibly
boast a barbecue pit and picnic grounds,
tennis courts, and flower beds.
1t would appear wisdom to obtain the
services of an expert landscape architect
such as laid out San Diego's fine parks,
or Los Angeles similar beautiful public
grounds. The services of such a person
should be obtainable at small cost, and
the expert could collaborate with B. H..
Harrigan, county agricultural agent who
knows what will grow here and what
won't.
To those who are working on the mat
ter in behalf of the county and the city
should be given every encouragement to
keep up the good work Probably more
people are personally interested in car
rying through this enterprise to a happy
conclusion than is generally realized
They will applaud each progressive step.

OUTPUT Plans

LOS ANGELES, April Cup
Two ten-hour shifts in shipbuild-

hours would release 35. 900 workers
here and end critical labor short
age, congressional committee
heard.
The present shortage was esti-

More ships can be built in two

hour shifts Vice Chairman Nor
ris B. Pendleton, citizens manpoWer
committee, told the Patman COM
mittee of the house, investigating
coast conditions.
Small war plants in this area
would get more contracts if Los
Angeles were removed from the

of the plants are now idle and
ready to close, he said.
Pendleton asked the committee
to urge the maritime commission

HAM AND EGGS"
Sacramento Bee)

The state supreme court wisely has
ruled that the sOcalled ham and eggs
pension initiative cannot have place on
the California election ballot this year.
Sponsors of the retirement scheme
first sought to qualify the proposal for
an earlier election on the basis of petit
tons circulated in 1910, but failed to do
so because the signatures did not amount
to the required eight per cent Of the votes
cast for governor in 1898.
When the state vote tally declined IN
1912, the promoters discovered the total
signers came within the eight per cent
requirement and sought to warm over
the ham and eggs plan for submission to
the electorate at the presidential pri-
mary this year, using the same petitions.
The courts majority opinion, written
by Associate Justice Jesse W. Carter,
takes the position that if an old list of
petition signers can be resurrected to
qualify an initiative measure, simply be-
cause fewer votes were cast at any sub
sequent governorship election, there
would be no end to past proposals which
might be eXhumed for presentation to
the voters.
The opinion remarks: present day
electors are not interested in indicating
legislation to be finally adopted by their
children or their children's Children
The court took the only sensible stand
and is to be commended for administer
ing sudden death to matter which
might have had iniquitous consequences.
