men say they are ready to go ahead
with the work of power development
on the Colorado river, and when the
Investment Bankers Association of
the United States say they will have
$40,000,000 year to spend upon the
work for ten years. then | say with
DR.. Ricketts,; For Gods sake let
them go to it,
Is there anything more reasonable
than the statements Of these two
men made before the industrial con-
ference? The League Of Southwest
in its convention at Riverside last
month proved the selfisbness of GER
tain OF California's forces. The best
interests of California must not be
thus Judged. however We have
learned through long years of e1-
perience that the wheels of the gov
ernmeDt turn very slowly. a repat-
ition Of flood conditions on the Col
orado river similar to that which
threatened the entire Imperial val
ley may not find the Southern Pac-
ific Railroad Company putting all ifs
forces to the protection Of that great
empire as it did then. Had it then
been necessary to wait the action of
the government to protect the peo-
pie and property Of the Imperial val
ley, that valley would today be an
inland lake covering millions of
dollars of property and improve
ments.
The power companies say they
will dam the river and be able to
furnish electrical power to the con
sumer in two years. 1t will take
the government ten years to build
dam in Boulder Canyon else we
make mighty poor guess. Ten
years of flooda may inundate the
Imperial valley with consequent
loss of millions of dollars in prop
erty and business. When DR.. Rick
etts said: For Gods sake let them
do it, he spoke words of wisdom
Let us have this power the quickest
possible. The resumption of mining
activities are dependable upon this
power. Why must Arizona wait?
The people of Arizona and of the
great Southwest realize the value of
the project. No congress composed
of eastern majorities will ever fully
comprehend the greatness, the i'm
portance or the value of the situa-
ton, or the necessity of prompt ac-
tion4 They do not, nor will they
realize the results and what those
results mean to the Southwest or to
our own safe. The government has
a duty to perform. That duty is to
protect the people of the Southwest
and of each state, in their vested
rights in the potentialities of the
Colorado river. Let her see that
each state and community receives
it's Just apportionment of the bene-
fits that result from this develop
ments of the stream. but let the cap
ital of the Investment Bankers AS
sociatiOn of the United States with
its forty million year, or the cap
ital of some other organization pro-
ceed at once with the work. The
protection of the people and prop
erty demand it. Arizona's progress
depends largely upon the quick util-
ization of this mower. The quicker
\ dam can be placed across the Col
Orado river that will control the
fcod situation, the safer will be mil
lions df dollars worth of property
and a hundred thousand homes Why
let Arizona'sl future be sidetracked?

REAL WISDOM

In reading various reports OF the
industrial conference held at Phoen-
tx last month we find nothing more
pertinent to the situa ion than the
remarks made by Dr.. L. D. Ricketts,,
vice-president of the Inspiration
Copper Company and those of Fran
els S. Veile, president of the Arizona
Power Company of Prescott. In
contemplation of present mining
conditions and their effect upon the
entire state, DR.. Ricketts, said:
"The mines are suffering from two
bad things. The first Of these is ex-
orbitant freight rates. There is on
ly one answer to this; we must have
it out with the railroads. They must
come to an understanding with us.
for it is impossible to attempt to do
business with rates as they are.
"The second is the menace of the
disappearance of fuel oil. which is
too expensive and valuable for use
in mining. The mines can come to
the use of coal, as can the smelling,
but only at high cost. Our saliva
ton lies in electrical power. Tho
mines and smelters are using 10000
horse power now-soon it will be
100000 horse power. Energy is al
SO needed for manufacturing, agri-
culture and a score of other indus
tries. For this reason / don't care
who develops the Colorado river
power resources: / don't care what
profit he makes, as long as it is
within reason, but l do want that
power now
Mr.. Veile in speaking of the de-
velopment of the Colorado river en-
ergies, termed. it the most important
project before the state. He further
said: when, however, group of

What IS Thrift?
WE Do THE MOST DIFFICULT

Thrift, i'm its broad sense, is
handling money wisely.
1t is getting the most out Of
every dollar of the income.
1t is the power Of making
ones dollars bring more dollars
after he has earned them.
1t Is administering ones earn
ings with an eye to the future
as well as the present.
1t is using ones money, much
or little, as an instrument with
which to weave strong fibre into
the character.
True thrift does not curtail
buying power. 1t increases 1t.
Ii does not make misers. 1t
teaches how to spend as well as
how TO save.

The states initiate the road projects,
but before federal aid is granted an
engineer of the bureau makes an in
spection of the roads to be improved,
studies the local conditions, consults
with the state highway department.
and no projects are approved which
are not considered suited to the con-
ditions to be met. Many popular fal-
lacies exist as to road Improvement,
and there have been many misconcep-
tions as to the types of roads on which
federal-aid funds may be used. Prop.
erly built earth roads, say specialists
of the department, are the fundamen-
tai requirement in all highway I'M
