The following from the Minneapolis Trbaue i so apropos that we cannot forbear letting our owl legislature in 1t:
 If the American people as a whole are look ing forward with any serious misgfvings to a Troubled 1921, the fact is not at all to be dis eerned in the great projects for public improve bent that are to come before the legislatures of the several states assembling.
 Only two months ago the voters of Mime sota, by overwhelming majority indorsed a plan to go ahead with a good roads enterprise that will involve the expenditures of scores of mil Hons of dollars It is a big thing approached thus far in big, broad way and to be carried out let us hope in equally big. broad way In that vote there wss not a trace of tinorous contemplation of the future; quite the opposite

 There are those radical labor leaders who beittle this effort to make employees part in industry They insist that it is but crumb intended to head off public ownership aud being extremists they are satisfied with anything but the entire loaf However, there arc many persons, including large majority of labor folks, who, believing that two year-old calf cannot be born in minute, think it advisable to make success of ownership before attempting a still larger load.

The Florence Diversion Dam

It is good news that has come to Florence and Casa Grande that immediate operations are to be begun on the diversion dam on the Gfa- That will be the beginning of the realization of generation old dream, the conservation of the the Gila for the reclamation of region which equals the Salt River valley in extent and fertility.
 There is of course little doubt that great storage dam win be built on the Gia but the time within which it would be done has been uncertain We may believe, though, that, the construction of the devr- sion dam would be quickly followed by the greater work for the watering of the whole valley.
 We have before pointed out the benefits to the salt River Valley of this reclamation which would be only secondary to those which the settlers in the Gila valley would enjoy. It would amount to an extension of our own great project, as if by some miracle of construction the capacity of the Roose- welt dam could be doubled to serve twice as many acres now under it.
 greater project such as the combined Salt River md Gila projects would be- would give us a lished he will need little any. tariff protection It would result in the division of the land into smaller holdings it would feed larger cities and more pros porous towns.

To the Editor of The Republican,:
 Sir: Now that Hon. MT. Frazier from Santa Cruz county has intro duced a law into the state legislature, making 1t a crime to work on Sunday unless you have conscientiously ob- served the day before, wish to place a few paragraphs before your readers as to the possibilities that are bound up in such 6 law.
 John Smith owns farm. He cuts wood on Sunday. He has no religion his neighbor has-so John is a crin- inal
 Bill Jones owns a farm across the road from Smith. He cuts wood on Sunday-he has religion-he observed the day before-so Bill is not a crim- inaL Why? Because he has religion So when the law comes out to Smith and Jones. it finds they have both been working on Sunday. but when making arrests it would be as the scripture saith: One shall be taken and the other left'
 Benjamin Franklin once said, fn a letter to Dr. Price, When religion is good it will take care of itself; when IL is not able to take care of itself. and God does not see fit to take care of it. it is evidence to my mind that it's cause is bad one"
 If our state legislature can enforce the observance of Sunday, it can with equal propriety compel men to pray and determine the kind of God to whom he shall direct his prayer. as did Nebuchadnezzar when he erected the golden image in the plains of Dura, directing that all men bow be- fore it. It was for violation of this
 blue law" that the three Hebrew worthies were cast into the fiery fur mace. from which the Son of God led 1 them forth Triun1 phautIv
 Mir. Frazier's bill if taken seriously would be placing us on dangerous ground. Concerning religious legisla- ! tion, we say. Hands off, ROY L. BENTON. 12o6 East Moreland.

THE BIBLE IN CONGRESS
By GIIson Gardner

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Bible is as well known a book as 1t was years ago. This was shown during hearing before the House Military Affairs committee recently.
 Somebody quoted from the Bible He who Iiveth by the sword shall die by the sword"
 Representative Caldwell of New York expressed the opinion that this was not accurate quotation
 He who useth the sword shall die by the sword <" was what Caldwell thought was the passage so they sent for Bible.
 Caldwell went at it He turned to the front and to the back and to the middle then he went at the front asking his neighbor, Hasn't this got an index?
 He handed 1t to him and sug- gested that probably she could find 1t better
 Look for 1t yourself" she replied. Tt will do you good If don't find what you want you might find something else in the Bible that win do you good"
 When Caldwell finally found the passage he dis covered that 1t read He who taketh the sword shall perish by the sword"
 we are both wrong he announced
 Representative Kahn suggested that the record should show the chapter and verse
 Caldwell had lost the place; so there was another long search before 1t was found
 But now the verse is preserved in the records of the Military Affairs committee

MELLON FURTHER URGES
BLANKET LOAN POWER
Writes Penrose of Wilson's At
titude on Postponing
Payments.

BY Associated Press to Every Evening.
washington. July 2S.--Secretary
Mellon formally advised the Senate
finance committee today, as to his
views regarding the extent to which
the United States had been committed
under the Wilson administration on
deferment of payments of allied war
loans and interests.
The government was committed, he
said, to postponement of interest pay
ments for two or three years and sub
scuuent spreading out of postponed
payments contingent upon such for
eign governments carrying out with
reasonable promptness after this gov
ernment IS ready TO proceed salts
factory funding OF its existing short
time obligations TO this country"
The secretary's communication was
in the form of a letter TO Chairman
Penrose and was presented personally
in connection with Mr.. Melons furth-
er argument in favor of prompt pas
sage OF the Administrations bill pro-
viding blanket powers for the treas
ury in dealing with allied loans.
$50 far as concerns the principal
debtor powers" the letter said. (which
together owe us. twithout accrued in-
terest) over nine billion dollars. there
is no intention or thought of accept
ing i'm payment bonds other than those
of the debtor country. The authority
now asked. however. covers debts ow-
ing to us by Czecho- -Slovakia. Greece.
Roumania, Russia, Serbia, Poland and
q large number OF other countries.
These countries also owe large
amounts to the other countries. Their
resources and their ability to pay differ
widely and the conditions which will
have TO be dealt with cannot now be
foreseen. The situation which con-
fronts the treasury is exceedingly
complex and to deal properly with it,
the treasury must have ample powers"
Regarding acceptance OF German
bonds, the secretary referred TO GER
tain negotiations at the Paris peace
conference where representatives of
Great Britain, France and the United
States recommended the acceptance OF
German separation bonds in payment
made by the three countries TO Bel
gium prior to November II, 1918.
This agreement has been before the
Senate since February %, 1921. and
no action has been taken on 10, he
said, but he was unable TO decide
whether subsequent negotiations in
fixing Germany's indemnity and the
German bonds TO be taken would make
that a matter for further considera-
ton.
In explaining his memorandum to
the committee. Mr.. Mellon said he
would if granted the authority asked
obtain from each debtor nation a
statement embodying it's offer in set
flement.
