GOVERNMENT CONTROL
San Diego Paper Comments on Pos
 Sible Change Here

[The Press republishes the following as
 an illustration of a great amount of
 attention Imperial valley is receiving,
 without endorsing everything in the
 article.
 It is as apparent as anything in the future can be that ultimately the gov ernment will own and operate the irri- gation works on the Colorado desert, and this being the case, the sooner that condition is brought about the better it will be for all concerned, for when the transfer is made uncertainties will cease, and they will then only cease.
 The Imperial Land and Water com pany have accomplished most wonder full results They found the desert an absolute desert-with miles and miles of utterly worthless area-and they have converted it into one of the most fer tile spots in the world, with 10000 to SO,O0O acres of actually producing land, with a population of between 5000 and 10000, and with schools, banks, churches and other equipments of civili- zation. For all this the Imperial com pany deserves unqualified credit.
 But all this simply shows the neces- sity for government control. The enter prise is too vast, it involves the life hopes of too many people, to be allowed to continue under the dominion of any private corporation, subject as all pri- vate corporations must be to the vicissi- tudes, adversities and mistakes which are inevitable to all private corpora tions. The government alone and only is big enough to assure the people of that new domain the stability that is necessary for their continued and per manent success.
 It is believed these facts are now fully appreciated by the officials of the

company which has so far carried on these great plans. Otherwise it is not probable that the present propositions would have appeared before congress.
 On the other hand the government must have control of the Imperial water rights ill order to carry on the great ir- rigation enterprises it has inaugurated under the irrigation act. The govern ment cannot share the water of the Col orado with any private corporation, for it would be at the mercy of that corpor- ation whenever a scarcity of water should occur, however temporary that scarcity might be. By controlling the whole, and by this means only, can perfect apportlonment of water be made from the river to the various irrigating reservoirs and canals. Under any other arrangement, clashes and contests will be inevitable.
 Therefore, in the very nature of things. the private corporation should be inclined to sell, and the government should be inclined to buy.
 How soon these desires will be con- summated remains to be seen, but there is no room for single doubt that they will be consummated.-San Diegan- Sun.

MURPHY PROMISES AID.

the SubsC0u Strikers.

Charles F. Murphy leader of Tammany Hall.
was visited yesterday by committee from the
Building Trades Alliance to discuss the subway
strike sirua ton. and hs assured the labor men,
they said afterward, that he would do all he
could to assist them, and would see John b Nc
Donald. the subway contractor. and put the
case before him as they had put it 10 him. The
committee left Nh Murphy apparently we'll
pleased with his promises.
The committee met Philip Weinseimer. presi-
dent of the Building Trades Alliance, st Third
ave. and Fourteenth-st. They had a long and
earnest conversation with him, and he apparent
~ gave them Instructions. He did not go with
them.
Mr.. Murphy was told that the grievances of
the strikers IN the subway centred in their OBJ
lection TO the employment OF non-unon men.
They said that If the non-union men were dis
charged all the union workrnen concerned would
go back work Immediately.
The assertion has been made at various times
by the trades involved that settlement of the
difficulty with the sub-contraCtors of the sub
way might be effected by political influence.
Said James j. DAILY, chairman Of the press
committee Of the Building Trades Alliance We
shall demand that Tammany use all it's infiu-
ence TO bring about settlement and If this is
not done we shall have something 10 say later
IN political way"
Mr. Mcdonald has held that all his dealings
should be with the Central Federated Union,
with which body the subway contractors had
their agreement, and he has refused 10 treat
with the alliance.
