Gripping The West
For Political Gain

Secretary Lane recently said there
are 35,OOO,OOO undeveloped water
horsepower in the United States.
Hugh L. Cooper. in the Electrical
World, uses this as basis to show
that the Harvesting of these water
powers will do more to conserve labor
and produce better living conditions
than any other agency or group OF
agencies that can be mentioned by
the anti-waterpower development
crowd, who for fourteen years have
labored so successfully in the use Of
Misrepresentation to kill the water
power industry in the United States.
He says
"All over the world today people
are suffering because of high cost Of
living. due to shortage of food sup
ply. To bring up the food supply.
the principal need is for more labor
and yet our supply is daily being re-
duced below normal by war demands.
1.-THE labor problem Is undoubted-
ly the greatest problem confronting
the world today.

attack on waterpower engineers and
developers, the aggregate falling off

us that the board was in control of
this institution. Then they threat
ened us that If we would not go on
that something would happen, and
we advised them that we stood on
our original proposition, that If the
board were in control we would go
on. They refused to make state
ment. At their request l consented
to continue to go on as director un-
til an adjustment could be made. II
I had not done that, the business Of
the bank would have been tied up.
This was a serious mistake on my
part.
An investigation was begun on July
/ Sth with the result that on the
charges preferred. Mr.. White was re-
moved and, in keeping with their
earlier statement as what would fol-
low, our designations were accepted.
Now. in regard to the management
of the bank along the lines of ser
vice, efficiency and economy. The
service which this bank is supposed
I to render covers vast amount Of
territory. Local associations have to

several states, appraisers appointed.
lands valued and money loaned. The
executive committee of the board has
to pass upon the loans, after they
have been appraised. The law placed
the appointing Of the appraisers in
the hands of the board at Washing
ton, but, owing to the great distance
of our district from Washington, the
recommendation of appraisers was
supposedly left to the board OF d.
rectors, but the president refused to
allow the board Of directors to pass
upon these appraisers and made his
own recommendations to the board
at Washington.
In the case of Utah, was almost
completely ignored. and a special
representative was sent to Utah to
look over the situation. We had as
appraisers Mr.. Whites friend and his
friends friends. many Of whom were
utterly incompetent of the work in
hand.
In Nevada. Senator Douglas was
ignored and men from California
were sent in to appraise the land.
At least. some of the men who were
sent there to appraise the lands did
not know anything about irrigated
lands.
The majority of the board and !,
as a member of the executive COM
mittee, objected to approving loans
on lands we had never seen and and
appraised by men we did not know
and whose recommendation consisted
principally in being friend of some
body else. In fact some OF these men
were so disgustingly incompetent that
after making their report the land
had to be re-appraised and President
White, who had secured their ap-
pointment, could no longer uphold
them.
We objected to the president Gre

ployed or advising with them as to

on the payroll of this institution sew
eral people with high salaries who
were not doing anything. We had
in the neighborhood Of five men
drawing Of from $3.50 to 5000 a
month who are working about one
hour a day and in some cases have
been doing nothing at all for two
weeks at a stretch.
We objected to the payment of the
| salary of a man to be a messenger
Of the president to the city of San
Francisco. Something that was en-
tirely unnecessary. We objected to
the employment of four or five stem
ographers in the bank whose services
were not needed. But our objections
were entirely overridden.
The result has been that we have
only loaned up to date $327,3OO, and
the expense up to date, not includ-
ing the August salaries, have amount
ed to $2S,6SO, and our salary sched-
ule now is approximately $500 a
month. Money loaned during the
last thirty days has not reached the
salary schedule. In the meantime,
nearly half million dollars has laii
in the San Francisco banks while the
| farmers have paadad a.
When we asked that the legal de-,
partment be speeded up SO that thu
farmers could get these funds, we
were politely told that it was tn,

would attend to it in his own good
time. The title examinations from
Utah. California and Nevada were
turned over to President Whites
law partners instead of being given
to competent attorneys in the locali-
ties where the money was loaned.

errors have been made and others
narrowly averted.

been opened until, In order to pro-
tect my own private business. l had

was politely told that / could pur-
sue what course pleased, which
did. and the postal authorities have
protected my mail since.
Ihese, my friends OF Utah, are the
reasons why l could no longer remain

institution. May / say to the many
farmers In Utah that while II is to

What the War Has Done to One English

doing, and she says:
In England and in France | met WON
en- of all classes, giving all there was of
them to THEN country. The poor woman.
who thought she was working as hard
as she could. has been taught by the war
that she can get more out of herself.
The career of the great lady is no longer
society. but the business of war, and
she asks more of herself than she ever
used to ask of her maids. The first great
lady | saw at work was Lady Henry
Grosvenor found her, not in either of
the beautiful homes that were hers be-
fore the war but in Queen Mary's hostel,
