rights was not by setting fire to the factory. That had been tried in Rus sia and had failed. He began to give a more real attention to political and industrial economy. Wage cuts were resisted bitterly a year ago. Today, according to reports, cuts are being made in many industries without pro- test from the workmen. They realize that the employers have no other op- tiori than to cut their wages or close thier factories. The last report shows that practically all industries have reduced the number of employees ex- cept those engaged in the manufac- ture of food products, beverages, tex tiles, leather, stone clay, glass and tobacco.
 These conclusions may be >chal- lenged in some quarters. In.Philadel- phia for example. a committee of the chamber of commerce reported that there is what amounts to Soviet con- trol in certain industries, notably stevedoring and shipping. The Amalgamated Clothing Workers have ordered employers to keep out of cer- tain factories and the employers have obeyed.

 Recommends Penalty
 further recommend that from this date penalty of l per cent per
 month be levied on all unpaid water charges not already carrying pen- alty I wish here to explain the jus tice and necessity of these penalties.
 A number of our shareholders have complained of our association col- lecting a penalty during these hard times. As matter of fact, a pen alty operates only to distribute the
 cost of operation and maintenance of the project in a fair and equitable manner. The penalties of 1 per cent per month do not more than cover the interest on the money which other shareholders who pay up on time are
 entitled to. and the additional cost of carrying charge on our books for those who do not pay on time. Also. as all of these penalties go toward the operation and maintenance of the project, a portion of these are re- turned to the ones who pay them by the reduction of later assessments. I further recommend that g per acre be deducted from assessment
 No. 13 for the irrigation season 1921- 1922, on account of the extension of the government construction charges by the secretary of the interior That the balance of assessment No. 13,
 namely s1.65 for special construction voted in 1919, and the minimum charge of g cents per acre for two acre feet of water, or a total of $1.74,
 be split as follows:
 Eightyseven cents due and pay able September l, 1921. delinquent October 1, 1921. Eighty seven cents due March 1, 1922. delinquent April
 I. 1922, together with the usual pen- a1ties.
 I have in this and previous reports emphasized and reiterated certain &C., complishments of your present man agement. because I believe they are of vital significance to this gov
 erning body and to the valley at large. This governing body is after all responsible for the efficient man. agement of this project, and what has been accomplished during the past year should and can be continued.
 The success of this valley in . large
 measure is dependent on the con- tinued efficient operation of our pro- l ject and only by eternal vigilence on | the pat o. this body to see that an efficient organization, is maintained can it be made certain for the future

Iowa Detectives Trail Invalid For
 Missing Canadian
Republican A. P. Leased Wire]

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. 15.-The
 disappearance of Ambrose J. Small
 from his Canadian home is as much
 a mystery as ever, so far as any clue
 developed in Des Moines is con-
 cerned. He is not here, as announced
 by private detectives, nor is he be- lieved to have been here since his
 sudden disappearance in December, 1919.
 The man the detectives said they believed to be the Toronto theater owner was located at the Polk poor
 farm late today by newspaper men. He is John Daugherty, helpless man without a home. Daugherty
 suffered the loss of both legs when run over by a train in Des Moines on December 4, 1917. He has been a patient at the poor farm since early | in 1919.
 l It is assumed that habeas corpus proceedings instituted by Chief of | Police Saunders against John J. l Brophy and Frank Harty, the private detectives, will be dropped.

 The findings of the public health officials, the report said, were based largely on incomplete statistics sub mitted by southern state health com

In a letter to the presidnt, Surgeon General Cumming declared that despite the criticism of some southern officials regarding the ad- ministration's course, the informa- 1 tion collected fully confirms, in my | opinion, the position of the public 1 health service with respect to the increase of pellagra in various parts | of the south.

FREIGHT RATES CREDITED WITH
 PLIGHT IF WEST GRAIN GROWERS
IRepubIIcan A. p. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Bankers, today before the interstate commerce commission, attributed the present plight of western agriculturists in a large measure to high freight rates on grain products and hay. The tes- timony was presented in a case growing out of complaint against present rates by the Kansas public utilities commission, and joined in by 19 other state commissions and by various shippers and producers or ganizations. The hearing is expected to be concluded Friday and argu- ments will begin immediately there after
 F. w. Peck. director of the agri- cultural department of the University of Minnesota, said that the farmer depended upon his profit on labor, and that grain producers now were receiving but 15 cents an hour. on the average, for their labor. Any de- crease in freight rates would be add ed directly to this Is cents an hour he contended, and would materially increase the profit of the farmers. A decrease in freight rates of 2 cents bushel would represent an increase of 22 per cent on this profit. he said
 J. R. Howard, president of tho American farm bureau federation said that prices on grain Mir Peck quoted were fixed where the surplus accumulates, usually in Liverpool and that this price. less commissions and the cost of transporting the grair

shareholders under the Highline without taxing its capacity.
 Third. I mentioned certain possi- bilities for the building up of our power business. Since that date those possibilities have become accomp- lished facts. An interchange of power agreement with the Central Arizona Light and Power company and with the mines at Miami have resulted in large increase of net power revenue above normal, in spite of a low lake level and consequent lower power capacity.
 Power Revenue . Big Factor :
 For the first time in the history of the association the power revenue during the months of June and July has been sufficient to meet the total cost of operating and maintenance of your entire project.
 I credit the Accomplishment of all of the above principally to three main items:
 First. The elimination of large number of sources of financial loss to the association.
 Second. The increase of our pow CT revenue.
 Third. And mainly to the loyalty. ability, economy and efficiency of the organization which we have created for you
 As an example of this economy and efficiency, again present com parison of the cost of operation and maintenance of the irrigation project for the first 10 months of last year and the first 10 months of the year just past.
 Ten months 1919-192o |. .$S36,737.64 Ten months 1920-1921 .... 330,S83.35 Difference for ten months $505.S54.29
 With less than two months to com plete the irrigation year the estimate in my report of May that this years operation would be accomp- lished at nearly $600,000 less than last year, now appears to be a certainty.
 Cave Creek Flood Control
 Knowing the condition of your as- sociation and the necessity of certain improvements your board of gover- nors without additional assessment to the shareholders have voted $5o,- 900 for the control of Cave Creek and s100, 900 to be expended for drainage in advance of the collection of the special assessment due 1921-1s2z which was noted in 1919. In view of our finances and the present financial conditions of the valley. recommend that this condi- tion be considered an emergency and that we utilize our excellent financial position at this time, by extending credit to our shareholders needing it until October l, 1921, under the fol- lowing plan:
 First. That all shareholders need- ing and desiring credit for water ser vice, upon signing an application 1 therefor. be extended maximum credit in water service to the extent of g. per acre from August IS to October 1, 1921.
 Second. That all shareholders availing themselves of this credit b. required to pay a penalty at the ratt
 of 1 pc, cent per month for the full amount of credit utilized between | now and October l for the full tim,
