GOVERNORS GET
 SMALL HOPE OF
 APPROPRIATION
Republican Leader Points Out Need of Congress to
 Econonlize

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Gover- nors and other representative of western states asking congress for an appropriation of $25O,OOO,OOO for land reclamation, were given slight hope by Representative Mondell of Wyoming, Republican leader of the house, today, of having their requests granted. The coming fiscal year will be critical one growing out of war financing, MT. Mondell said. and pres ent estimates of expenditures must be reduced at least a billion dollars if the credit of the government is preserved.
 The government is facing a deficit of three billion dollars next year, MT. Mondell said, without taking into ac- count an extra $S0,000,000 added by the Sweet bill. increasing compensa- tion for disabled soldiers, or consid- ering possible expenditures for bon uses or increased pay for the army and navy. MT. Mondell in express ing regret that more money was not available for reclamation, promised that he would attempt, after the pc riod of war financing was over, to obtain an adequate appropriation.
 MT. MondelPs remarks closed a hearing before the joint congressional committees on public lands, during which Gov. Larrazolo of New Mexico asked that all public lands be ceded back t6 the states for development Other speakers, however, pointed out that the question of the cession of public lands was a separate one from the request for a federal appropria- tion to aid in reclaiming the arid lands of the west.
 Governor Davis of Idaho, chairman of the executive committee of the western delegation. announced that an executive committee was drafting bill with a view to correlating measures now before congress and that the committee would remain in Washington as long as their pres ence was needed

Phoenix Bonds Are
 Insufficient for
 New Water Supply

Phoenix, Jan. 15.-The bond issue of $1,3OO,OOO by Phoenix for construc- tion of a water supply system to con vey water here from the Verde val ley will be insufficient if any of the bids now under consideration are ac- cepted, if was indicated today at a meeting of the city commission. Of the nine bids opened, the lowest fig ured $S44,000 for the pipe alone. The other materials. labor, etc, would, it was estimated, carry the total far over that of the funds to be made available by the bond issue. A prob able course of action has not yet been outlined by the commission.

 TO THE POLES
Bliss Tells Committee That Country Is Only Bulwark
 Against Reds

WASHINGTON, Jan.. 15.-Definite plans for furnishing Poland with war materials and food, to aid in check ing the westward spread of bolshev- ism, are being considered by the United States and the allied govern ments, Secretary Baker said today before the house ways and means committee, supplementing the declar- ation of Gen. Tasker H. Bliss that Poland was ''the only bulwark against bolshevism."
 The committee has before it the proposal of Secretary Glass to au- thorize S15O 100000 in credits to Flu ropean countries for the purchase of American food. Supporting that pro iect, Gen. Bliss, speaking from his experience as American representa- tive on the supreme military coun- cil during the- war and as member of the American peace delegation in Paris, declared that if Poland were overrun, general revival of the war might follow.
 The military aspects of the food situation in Europe are purely spec ulation," as to details, but not as to results, Gen. Bliss said. It was the growing opinion" of military eX. perts, he added, that Russian Soviet armies would turn toward the vest where they would outnumber the Pc fish forces, tLeir only barrier.
 Gen. Bliss said that in granting loans, the United States should de mand of the allies that they provide the Poles with military supplies. II was at this point Secretary Baker told the committee that the allies and the United States were planning tc furnish arms to the Poles.

PASSES
 POWER MEASURE
Legislation Considered By Congress for Ten Years
 Is Approved

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-By a vote of nearly three to one the senate to- day passed the water power develop ment bill, different in some respects from the measure adopted by the house in July, but following in a gen eral way, the same bill that has been before congress in one form or an. other for the last decade.
 Just before the final vote was taken the senate reconsidered it's former ac- tion and restored an amendment which would limit the government lie ense charge of water power projects to 25 cents Fer horsepower develop ed. Senator Lenroot, Republican, Wisconsin, who opposed the amend ment, declared it was a concession to special interests and expressed the opinion that it was calculated to in. vite presidential veto.
 Motion by Senator Walsh, Demo crat, Montana, to reconsider the vote on an amendment by Senator Nugent Democrat, Idaho, affecting power de velopment on land held by Indians brought about a twO-hour discussion Senator Nugent proposed that no Ii cense should be authorized within an Indian reservation except by and with consent of the council of the tribe.
 Senator Walsh, in opposing it, held that the government was the guardian of the Indians.
 "Old time graft charged in the cleo tion of United States senators by leg islators of the states,' Senator Walsh declared, would not be a circum stance to what would happen if tribal councils passed on the question oi power license"
 Senator Walsh explained that in making this statement he meant nc reflection on the Indians but that they would be subject to all sorts of graft invitations by special interests.

Want Commission to Find Way to Make Miners
 Keep Faith

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-With ar guments of both, miners and coal mine operators in the central eompe- titive field completed, the coal strike settlement commission adjourned to- day until Monday, taking under ad- visement statements and statistical reports which had been filed in con- nection with arguments during the four days of discussion.
 Phil H. Penna of the Indiana Coal Operators association closed the op- orators statement today. There have been B years of collective bar gaining in the coal industry. he said. but now the operators are convinced that the mine workers are irrespon- sible as an association and will not keep the wage contracts which they make. Penna formally asked the commission, in behalf of his asso- ciates, to consider methods of mak- ing it's wage awards enforceable even to the extent of recommending legislation
 Penna, together with Ralph Crews. attorney for the coal operators, took the position that the increased wage demand was the only serious claim of the miners. The 30-hour week asked by the miners, Penna said. was cal most criminal"
 Beginning Monday. the commission expects to sit again as a court, con sidering evidence rather than state ments. cross examining witnesses, and considering the views of techni- | cal experts
