The Bright Salt River Valley Sky

The outlook for the Salt River Valley was never brighter. The water users burden has been light ened so that they can hardly feel it, by the pas sage of the bill extending the time for the repayment for the Salt River irrigation project. This is lief that, two years ago. seemed hopeless and in the temper at that time of congress and of the people living outside the arid region it could hardly have been expected except by the most sanguine

The disposition in all quarters was hold the water to their bargain in spite of the fact that the incurred twice as great they had been led to expect it would be. It said by the officials that it would be impossible even if desirable, to an amendment to the reclamation in behalf of the users. The proposition of The Republican for extension of time without interest the deferred payments was pronounced unthinkabe.

The Presidents Use of Power

Wilson, but they have been somewhat more tactful The president has let it be known that he will not appoint the candidate of Senator because the senator headed the opposition to the confirmation of the nomination of MT Jones to be 8 member of the federal reserve board In this incl dent the president has the example of predecessors who have felt that they were within their official rights in determining the fitness of applicants for appointive offices by the character of the chief sponsors for them. Mr. Wilson is said however, to have sought openly than any of his pre- decessors change the views of sponsors for appll- Cants with respect his pending policies.
 It is said that opposing congressman, though supposed still to be amenable to have been sent for by president to discuss the policy to- ward which they seemed to be unfrendy and that the discussion has always been brought deftly around to include the somewhat irrelevant topic of the ambition of some constituent of the congressman to hold office It may be that the fathers invested the president with the power of life and death over the hopes applicants for office order that he might the better influence their congressional friends and so leave his impress upon national legislation.
