NORVEIL WAKES UP TO DANGER OF CRAB OF COLORADO POWER

State Water Commissioner w. S.. Norveil has written an official letter to Representative Carl Hayden, claim ing that the rights of Arizona in the Colorado river power and irrigation possibilities will be seriously jeopard- ized should congress pass the Swing bill, which would give California all the rights for which Arizona is fighting.
 The bill mentioned would appropri- ate $70,000,000 for the construction of dam at Boulder Canyon and of an all-American canal to put water on some half million acres in Imperial valley which are now above existing canals. It makes no provision what ever for safeguarding the rights of Arizona.

SURVEY INITIATED BY LOCAL MINES ON ELECTRIC POWER
 FROM SALT RIVER PROJECTS

With view to possible sharing in the expense of building new power plants in the Salt river, below the Roosevelt dam, and the use of cleo tric power therefrom in the Globe Miami district, the Old Dominion company and the Inspiration Consol- dated and Miami Copper companies have commissioned Louis c. Hill of Los Angeles, former supervising en- gineer for the United States reclama- tion service, to check up the figures of the reclamation service engineers on the probable cost of the project. Estimates made for the Salt River Valley Water Users association pro- vide for expenditures of approximate ly $6,0OO,OOO.

STATE AWAKENED TO
 PIRACY OF COLORADO

Public sentiment throughout Ari- zona seems to be becoming thorough ly aroused to the attempt that is being made to steal from the state it's greatest natural resource, the Colorado river power and irrigation possibilities, and to divert the same to the uses of an Asiatic empire to be established by selfish real estate interests in the Mexican delta lands of the river.
 Carefully yelled under the disguise of "state rights" in the river flow, the schemes of these power and ir- rigation pirates might well have suc- ceeded but for the publicity given by certain of the state papers and by George H. Maxwell of the Reclama- tion association. Once again it has been demonstrated that it requires but the limelight of publicity to frustrate designs against the real in- terests of the people.
 Arizona wants no Asiatic empire at her doors, constant menace to her industries and her prosperity, nor does she propose to allow billion or two of her resources to be diverted into the pockets of a few holders of lands in Mexico. The power re- sources of the Colorado lie entirely within the state limits of Arizona; they belong to her as of right; she is entitled to receive whatever benefits can be made to flow from these re- sources and now that the people have been awakened to their danger, the spectators have been smoked out and their schemes exposed.
 The final briefs covering the scien- tifc development of the Colorado are being prepared and will be filed short ly at Washington. The result is hardly in doubt and the state may ex- pect an early beginning of program of power and irrigation development that will, within the next decade, place her in the front rank of the in dustrial commonwealths of the Un- News.

SMALLPOX STILL RAGING IN
 TUCSON-VACCINATE 1000

More than 1000 persons were vac cinated on the first day of the estab- lishment of the free vaccination sta tions under the direction of the city and county health departments.
 In the two hours during which the stations were open, from 4 to 6 o'clock, 390 persons were treated at the station at the Davis school and $50 persons were treated at the sta- tion at the armory. Vaccinations in the various physicians offices in the city will bring the total to we'll above the 1000 number, it is stated.
 No decrease has been noted in the progress of the epidemic.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
 APPEARS TO JURORS

The attorney generals office has is- sued an appeal to the citizens of this state, when sitting as trial jurors, to be more zealous in their trial of mur- der cases. There is no necessity whatsoever of juror believing testi- mony that to any responsible being is most obviously untrue; nor is there any necessity for a trial juror to cling to doubt that is based on the most improbable reasoning. This office is hopeful that public interest in this matter may be aroused; that the peo- pie be made to know and understand that homicides in Arizona, unless very clearly justified, will be thoroughly and drastically punished.
 In hope that some concerted act ion to this end may be instituted, At torney General Galbraith has just mailed to all of the county attorneys a letter, of the following terms and tenor:
 '"The frequency with which our trial juries are failing to reach a verdict in murder cases is a matter of great concern to this office. 1 do not un- derstand how it is that twelve honest, conscientious men have failed to agree in some of the cases that have been presented.
 We, as the prosecuting officers of this state must in some way redouble our efforts. Murders are becoming entirely too frequent, and murderers are too frequently escaping the full penalty of the law. If the trial juries will not protect us and live up to the law, we are coming to very sad state of affairs, and it certainly takes the heart out of the prosecuting offic- CTS to have juries fail to agree on clear-cut murder cases, and refuse, on trivial grounds, to find a conviction. Our trial juries should be made to more thoroughly realize the serious ness of this situation"

LAW BANGLES WOMAN'S
 MATRIMONIAL VENTURES

Lester Shaver and Mrs. Pearl Van Buren are still detained by the sher- ifs office at Globe under instructions from the department of justice. S. T. Jones, special agent of the depart ment, who has been Investigating the charge against them, returned to Phoenix this morning to confer with the United States attorney. No com plaint has been filed before the Unit ed States commissioner, and it is said the couple are willing to marry if the charge can be dismissed. Mrs. Van Buren was divorced in Prescott only two months ago, and has been told that the law requiring any divorced person to wait one year before again marrying was repealed by the last special session of the Arizona legisla- ture.

ESTABLISH WATER PRIORITIES
 ALONG THE LITTLE COLORADO

There is to be a full judicial deter imitation of irrigation priorities along the Little Colorado river, at the in stance of State Water Commissioner w. s. Norveil and on much the same plan as has been effective in the Salt River and upper Gila valleys. The first determination will be in the vic inity of St. Johns in Apache county, where evidence will be taken to es- tablish relative priorities of holdings embracing about 1000 acres, with e claimants.
 The water duty near Springervi]le has been set at 11s acre feet year and around St. Johns at two acre feet. Thirteen storage basins are involved in the scope of the hearing.

TEAMS TO FORM
 A BASEBALL LEAGUE

Miami, Phoenix and Tucson are starting a Central Arizona Baseball league, with expectations of later en- trance of teams from Globe, Ray and other towns. The Phoenix team is to be chosen by an elimination contest within the Salt River Valley league. There is possibility of extension of movements to include teams from Douglas, Bisbee and Nogales, though with appreciation of the extreme dis tances and expenses that would be in- cured to get remote hines on the field for weekend ball.

NOTICE TO sIYBscR1REps
ANOTHER BRILLIANT IDEA.

Samuel Blythe. in the current issue of a
national publication, urges the voters of the
country to scrap both the Democratic and the
Republican parties and to organize in their
places a conservative and radical party; the
conservative TO stick close to the traditions of
the founders, and the radicals to engage in
nothing radical" than mild experimental
ton in new ideas in government.
The great trouble with the Blythe sugges-
ton is that most Americans are inclined to be
radical on some subjects and conservative on
others. Most of them would like mild expert
ments" along some lines. but would balk on
others. for personal sentimental reasons to
say nothing of conscientious scruples
It is doubtful if Mr. Blythe really hopes to
get anywhere with his suggestion. Probably,
ashamed TO admit his leanings toward Wilson
democracy after its lamentable failure, he is
trying to put the Harding administration in the
same class. and to throw out the thought that
the voters in 1924 will return the Democratic
party to power. That appears to be the gist
of his argument.

REGULATION NEEDED.

Congress next year will undertake to form
ulate national forestry policy to save a rem
nant of our disappearing timber supply. The
move comes about century late.
Private ownership Is sacred in American
thought. In many economic relations it makes
70 efficiency and service But experience has
Taught that private ownership without regula-
is not safe where large public interests are in
volved. The driver of an automobile may be
the owner. but he is not permitted on that ac-
count to tear through safety-zones at 20 miles
an hour. It is recognized that the public have
some rights that curtail the motorists liberties.
Housing and homecoming are of vast i'm

portance to the welfare of the country as a whole
and the lumber supply has direct influence
upon both. So it is not wholly private matter
that certain interests are slashing down the re-
naming trees. shipping the best lumber out of
the country and making no provision for future
growth of forests. That is something in private
ownership that needs regulating.
1t is quite possible for congress to regulate
the expectation of lumber: to encourage the i'm
portaton of lumber rather than to thwart it by
protective tariffs; to require proper methods of
numbering and replacement. This should be in
the new policy.

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

A dispatch from Moscow says Premier
Lenine has granted to William D. (Big Billy
Haywood concession to operate iron works and
in addition coal mines and auxiliary factories.
AS part of the contract 1890 fully qualified
American workers with technical skill" shall be
taken to Russia and that each of them must
purchase 500 worth OF tools or instruments for
his own equipment and sign undertaking to
observe all the rules of the Soviet labor code.
1t is feared, however. the news of taking
1890 Americans of the only stripe to whom such
a project would appeal is too good to be true.
Naturally they would be of the I. w. w. brand
and that class looks for work in iron mill only
as last resort. They do not look for work any
where, if they can avoid it. Of course quite
large number who might be taken with such an
enterprise are in jail and cannot go.
If SO many I. W. WIS should be taken with
the idea they should be encouraged and assisted
in every way possible. 1t would be the easiest
and most satisfactory means of disposing OF
them. They would thus have an opportunity to
observe in practice what they advocate and at
the same time it would remove from this land
an annoying factor. Still we doubt whether
they will go. They prefer to stay where there
is enough to eat. They might have to work If
they went to Russia and the possibility Of such
a calamity is its own warning
