Water Users Adopt Resolu- ton Requesting Steps In That Direction to Pave Historic Trail

sUnceasing efforts on the part of the Salt River Valley Water Users Asso- eiation are being made to secure fed seral aid in paving the Roosevelt road by having it designated as a state shighway," said F.. A. Reid, president of the association, yesterday in dis cussing the action of the board of gov ernors in adopting a resolution re- questing that the governor and the state engineer use their influence in bringing this about.
 As one of the most important roads in the state. both from the point Of its economic worth as well as it's value as a scenic route," continued MT. Reid, w.it should be made a state highway A good road from the Roosevelt dam to Phoenix is necessary for the opera lion and maintenance of the Salt River project as well as the encouragement Of travel over the Apache trail and the facilitating of hauling supplies to the various mining towns served by the road.
 Roosevelt lake is the only available gweek-end summer resort adjacent to the Salt River valley and as such 1t is necessary for a paved road to be built in order that the trip may easily be made in a few hours"

Pleading guilty to violation of the eighteenth amendment, paying the fine and serving the sentence imposed by the court does not relieve a defendant from his debt to Uncle Sam, according to the officials in charge of the local office of the department for the en- forcement of the prohibition act.
 The luckless still operator who comes into court with the odds against him finds some relief to his shattered nerves in the thought that he can plead guilty and throw himself on the mercy of the court. But he overlooSs the department for the enforcement of the prohibition act and the authority given them for the collection of assessments as provided under the eighteenth amendment.
 Section 1O1 of Article XXII, of the prohibition act, provides that:
 Any person who manufactures
 or sells liquor in violation of Title
 IT of this act, shall for the first
 offense be fined not less than
 $1,00O or imprisoned not exceeding
 six months, and for a second or
 subsequent offense shall be fined
 not less than $200 nor more than
 $2,0OO and be imprisoned not less
 than one month nor more than five
 years.
 And after the courts have had their say with the luckleSS still operator, the internal revenue laws take their turn with the defendant, to-wit:
 Upon evidence of any illegal
 manufacture or sale of any intoXi-
 eating liquor, a tax shall be as-
 sessed and collected from the per
 son responsible for such illegal
 manufacture or sale, in double the
 amount provided by existing in
 ternal revenue law, with an addi-
 tional penalty of $500 on retail
 dealers and $1 ,00O on manufactur-
 CTS
 The above penalties and for feitureS are in addition to all pen
 alties, forfeitures and taxes i'm posed by existing internal revenue laws on the manufacture and sale 8 of intoxicating liquor, stills, etc. Several weeks ago a man was con victed in California on charge of sell ing intoxicating liquors. He paid a fine imposed by the court and was given suspended jail sentence. Then

 CROP IF STATE
 AT 9O,0OO BALES
Will Be 10000 Bales of Short Staple Too-Yield Per Acre to Be Nearly as High as Last Year.

That Arizona is rapidly taking rank as an important cotton producing state is shown by the government crop re- port just issued by l.. M. Harrison agricultural statistician for the bureau of crop estimates in Arizona. With a prospect of 90.000 bales of American Egyptian and 20,000 bales of short staple, the crop this year promises to be twice as large as the record crop of last year.
 Conditions have continued to inn prove since the last cotton report of July 25. There has been very little rain in the principal growing districts, condition most favorable for the crop at this time. If average conditions are maintained until picking time the av- craze yield should be close to 21S pounds of lint cotton for the Ameri- short staple. This would compare with can Egyptian, and 475 pounds for the 23O pounds and 450 pounds respectively of American Egyptian and short staple last season. It will be difficult for the crop to overcome the handicap of late planting and a poor stand, though a continuation of the present exception ally fine growing conditions, followed by a late frost, would probably bring the average yield close to, if not above that of 1919.
 Owing to drought in the non-irri- gated districts, the outlook for other VI OPo was AlON dS as one month ago. While this condition has been partly relieved by the recent rains, the growing season in some sec tions will doubtless be too short to permit of early maturity.
 Other Crops
 Corn conditions on Aug. 1 were re- ported at S2 per cent of normal This compares with 95 one month ago and 100 last year on Aug. l. Oats con- ditlons were 76 as against 90 last month and 96 one year ago. Potatoes show a 10 point decline during the month, being estimated at so, which compares with 96 last year at this time- Barley conditions were e3, the same as last month, but 2 points below one year ago. The yield of winter wheat is estimated at 26 bushels per acre as against 2S bushels in 1919
 The hay average is 30 per cent less than last season. being estimated at 11S,000 acres. The condition was 92, compared with 95 last month, and 93 one year ago. Grain sorghums were 5 points below their condition one month | ago, and points below that of one year ago. Beans suffered a decline of | 15 points, their condition on Aug being 70 as against 95 one year ago. Fruit prospects were about the same as one month ago. but very much below one year ago. Peaches were estimated | at 30, apples at 55, and pears at . 52
 per cent of a full crop. Last year at this time peaches, apples and pears | were each estimated at 90. Range pastures declined during the month | from 95 to S4. One year ago the con-
 dition was 103.

Columbia


 The town hall at Summerland, Cali forTiia-a Sea-coast settlement whose chief revenue is derived from oil pumped from wells offshore in the Pa cific-was turned into a temporary hotel and occupied for nearly a week by American Film company players, during the shooting of scenes for Eve in Exile'' based on the sensational play by Cosmo Hamilton.
 Summerland's population clamored riotiously for the precious privilege or impersonatin the rough. simple folk of the village, and many were the ''punctured feelin's" due to the thor oughness with which Director Burton George applied the policy of employing only such types as are exactly suited to the characterizations. T offered to pose for nothin' and he wouldn't let me-" was a frequent plaint. In these days of high cost of living, such un- heard of decotion to the high standards of motion picture art MUST be some what difficult for the rural mind to comprehend
 Five in Exile" is packing them in at the Columbia theater this week. They say it's even bigger than Sean dal," that other Cosmo Hamilton play which for over a year drew big audi ences to the best theaters of Chicago and New York
 In the cast are Charlotte Walker, Thomas Santschi Wheeler Oakman, Melbourne Mcdowell, Violet Palmer, Martha Mattox. George Periolat, liar vey Clark, l.. c. Shumway and Perry Banks.

Ireland Regards Truce
With Mixed Feelings
Special Gable to The Tribune


DUBLIN, Dec. 11.-Ireland has re-
ceived the Premier's offer of peace by
force with feelings OF profound dis
couragemcnt mingled with q glimmer
of hope that q settlement may yet
come. The Irish people are reluctant
to abandon their belief that time for a
truce is near.
The Irish Times, of Unionist lean
ings. regards Lloyd Georges speech in
the House of Commons yesterday as
bold and generous overture, Offering
& test Of Irelgnd's capacity for self
government Tie Frccman's Journal,
until recently one Of the forem ost ad-
vocates of q truce and always the rep
rcsentative Of the moderate Natlcnai-
ist opinion, says that Ireland, despite
her anxiety for peace, is unable to find
the Premicr's speech encouraging. The
the newspapers attempts to express,
is deducible from this view.
The Freeman's Journal says that
one-half the Premier's double policy
destroys the other half, because the
Dali Eireann cannot accept response
bility for past crimes and could not
negotiate a peace if simultaneously the
military were executing citizens in
Munster Moreover, the newspaper
argues, if the Sim Fein parliament
met it would be confronted only with
the Premier's existing offer and this
apparently still excludes fiscal autono-
my. Nevertheless, The Journal con-
tinues, the Dali Eireann might con
slider the advisability of meeting, if
only to explain its position clearly to
the world and to discover whether
there was basis for peace with honor
However, fhe article concludes. the
impression made by the Premier's
speech discourages hopes.
FERMOY, Ireland. Dec. 11-A sol
der was killed and two others were
wounded, one of them seriously, when
military party was ambushed near

casualties among the attacking party

Walsh Wants y. S. ENJOY
On Disarmament Board

From The Tqibunc's Washington Bureaa
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-What Re-
pablicans termed a political move on
the part of one Of the Democratic lead
ers was made to-day by Senator Walsh,
OF Montana, when he introduced into
tho Senate resolution requesting the
President to name q representative to
participate in consultive way in the
proceedings of the commission Of dis
armament named by the Council of the
League of Nations.
Senator Walsh, both in his resolution
and in speech on the floor, took the
position that the proceedings OF the
commission were hampered By the fact
that the United States was not repre-
sented on the commission or at it's sit
tings. He dissented from the view eX-
pressed by the President in his recent
letter declining an invitation to par
ticipate on the ground, the United
States had not ratified the treaty and
was not q part of the league
The resolution was referred to the
Foreign Relations Committee. Nothing
will come of it so far as action is con-
cerned. In fact, Republican leaders
term it piece of politics intended to
make it appear that opponents of the
league covenant as Mr.. Wilson favors
it are likewise opposing disarmament
|. The fact did not escape notice that
the resolution is Senate resolution
with no binding force in law. One
prominent Republican Senator pointed
this out in commenting on the measure
The resolution of Senator Walsh is
regarded as a forerunner of various at
tenpts from time to time by Admin
istration Democrats to seek to make il
appear that the non-p -participa ion b!

Copyright 1920, New York Tribune Inc
BERLIN, Dec. 1.-THE visit to Gu
rope of Senator Medill Mccormick, of
Illinois, Count Won Bernstorff hopes.
may result in better understanding
between the United States and Great
Britain for the revision of the League
of Nations covenant by striking out
Article X.
The former ambassador to Washing
ton argues that if such L change were
to be made as the result Of McCor-
mck's visit Germany Would be bene-
fitted, for the treaty would then no
longer be sacrosanct, and further
changes could be made more easily.
Won Bernstorf says that the league
at present affords no guaranty against
the memberment of Germany. AS
dismemberment is Frances sole aim,
he says, Germany is doomed if left to
lerself, unless Great Britain and the
United States can agree on policy
that would provide some guaranty
through the league.
France could effect reconciliation
at any time with Germany on the basis
of adequate indemniries, says the ex-
ambassador, but she rejects such a
reconciliation because the only basis
which Germany would agree to-the
recognition of Germany as a units
withheld by the Paris government. For
the same reason, he contends, France
is practcing sabotage in he League of
Nations, whose political ideals are
fatty contradictory to those of Mile
rand.
German public opinion, says Won
Bernstorf, is wholly Indifferent to the
present congress of the league, and he
adds that the German peorle would not
have supported the Fehrenbach minis
try if it had applied for admission to
the league. This attitude, Won Bern
storff says. is mistaken, because it
ignores the fact that Germany is still
intellectually isolated from the rest of
the world and can only get hearing
before the nations through the league
Won Bernstorff expresses the belief
that if the admission of Germany were
voted on in the Assembly at least two
