KETTNER BILL KILLED IS
BELIEF Of MANY DELEGATES
JUDGE SWING
STATES VIEWS
ON SITUATION

/ Judge Swing, when seen this morn
ing on his return from the Berkeley
conference made the following state
ment:
81 am afraid that the amendments
recommended by the Mead conference
will postpone the building of the all
Aerican canal. They knock out the en-
tire plans embodied in the Kettner bill
for financing the all-American canal!
| The valleys delegation to Washing
ton was advised to adopt the bond
guarantee plan in preference to ask
ing Congress for direct appropria-
ton which latter plan was considered
impossible owing to the present con-
ditior of the United States Treasury.
The essence of the plan to have the
outside lands to which were to be bene-
httec by the construction of the ca
nal organized into one or more dis
tricts, issue bonds for their share of
the cost of the canal and put these
bonds up with the government.
"Under the Mead conference amend
ments the sale of the outside lands is
postponed until after the canal is COM
pleted. Hence there can be no owners
to the outside lands to organize a dis
trict or vote any bonds. Hence no bonds
out up with the government. The
result must be that either the Imper-
ial irrigation district will have to vote
the entire $30,0O0,000 and take its
chances on getting some part of it,
back from outside land which is an
unreasonable proportion or Congress
must make direct appropriation to
finance the all American canal which
we are advised is unlikely.
'But the amendments go farther
and eliminate the payment of $40 per
acre on all public lands. This was
meant as a generosity for the soldiers
but if it delays the all-American canal
it will be poor service to them The
elimination of the $40 per acre kills
the bond guarantee fund which was
our best argument to get the govern.
ment to underwrite our bonds. Not
only this, but the bond guarantee fund
was, under the Kett2er bill, to furnish
the means for providing storage for
the outside lands. Under the present
plans no storage is provided unless
Congress makes direct appropriation
for that purpose.
81 hope DR.. Mead and his friends
can persuade Congress to make the
necessary appropriations for the ca
nal and storage, estimated at S50,00O.-
! 900, hut have grave doubts of it ne
/ ing done in the near future"

COMISKEY PARK, Chicago,
Oct. 3.-Chicago's White hose won
the third game of the world ser
les today through the phenOmi-
nal uitching of Little Dick Kerr,
three to nothing. Tonight Kerr is
the idol of all Chicago fandom.
Kerr allowed only three hits and
these were scattered through as many
innings. He walked only one man and
at no time was he in danger of being
scored against.
Fischer pitched fair ball for Cincin-
natl, but his fielding support was none
too good. Chicago garnered seven hits
off his delivery and several of these
came at fairly opportune times.
A mammoth crowd which complete
ly jammed Comiskey park, baseball

gle, which was an excellent exhibition
Kerr's pitching was of the finest
ever seen here and typical instance
of his work is the seventh inning

AMENDMENTS
KILL CHANCES
QUICK ACTION

With the closing of the Mead con-
ference at Berkeley the final chapter
of the efforts of the Imperial Valley
all-AmericSn canal adherents has PRO-
badly been written with the word
FINS in capital letters. Delegates re-
turned home this morning expressed
the opinion that the passage of the
two Mead resolutions as amendments
to the Kettner bill killed any possible
chance that the Kettner bill had of
successfully passing the House sano
Senate. The reasons stated are, First
that the resolutions as passed elimin-
ate the bond guarantee fund as pro-
vided for in the Kettner bill. 1t asks
for direct appropriation from Con-
grcss for the construction of water
ways, thing which the Washington
committee has stated time and time
again was impossible to attain The
very reason for which the Washington
committee included the bond guaran-
tee fund in the Kettner bill was for
the fact that the Federal government
would not make a direct appropriation.
AS the Kettner bill provides that
the money put into the bond guarantee
fund should also be used by the Sec
retary of the Interior for storage pur-!
poses, the provision for storage is now
to be eliminated by the destruction of
the guarantee fund, and the outside
lands will be left without an adequate
supply of water CT the United States
government will have to appropriate
a further sum for storage, in addition
to direct appropriation for the all
American canal.
The amendments prohibit the entry
of any of the lands until after the
completion of the all-American canal.
They also provide that all those who
enter the $4,000 acres under the State
Land Settlement provision, who are
net soldiers, sailors or marines, do not
have to pay $40 or more per acre, as
provided in the kettner bill. 1t sets
aside $4,000 acres of land for State
settlement purposes for a period of
one year after the passage of the Kett-
ner or Hayden bill, allowing the State
of California the said one year within
which to exercise its option as to
whether it takes the 5000 acres or not
or chooses some other tract of So
900 acres.
