WELFARE LEAGUE
RECEIVES FIRST
COMMODITY CIT 7
Donations Of Groceries,
Drugs, Clothes, Dairy
Supplies And Sundries
AS Acceptable AS Cash

The first commodity donation re-
ceived by the Welfare. League during
its present campaign came in yes
terday morning In the form Of a
credit slip for 500 from Wayland's
Central pharmacy. This generous
contribution will enable the chari-
table organizations to obtain drugs
and sundries up to the foregoing
amount as they are needed during
the year.
Commodity donations, from drug
gists, clothing stores, groceries, dair-
les and department stores, will be
just as acceptable as cash since these
are the things that must be obtained
for the poor who are cared for by
the six major local charities on whose
behalf the Welfare League campaign
is conducted.
The various churches. societies
clubs and lodges are rapidly sending
in the names OF the committees that
they have appointed to cooperate in
the Welfare League drive and a COM
plete roster of these committees will
be published tomorrow morning. The
Kiwanis club has appointed a COM
mittee of 80 members which will be
divided into three teams. providing a
fresh team of 10 for each day of the
drive, which will commence on jan
uary II. A complete honor roll of
those who are thoughtful enough to
send their contributions and dona-
tions in before the drive begins will
be published on Thursday morning
in separate clubs according to the
sums contributed.
In order to obtain a more equitable
distribution of the burden of main
tanning our local charities, the We'll
fare League has evolved co-opera-
tive employees plan under which the
employees of the various offices and
stores in Phoenix can make a group
contribution to this worthy cause on
an installment basis. This plan has
been submitted to the Phoenix firms
who are now presenting the matter
to their employees.
Heretofore, practically the entire
burden of maintaining our charitable
organizations has been shouldered by
| the business firms and no previous
opportunity has been created for the
larger group of employees to con-
tribute their share This plan has
already been accepted with keen
| favor by the employees of number of
local concerns and 1t is expected that
the Welfare League will soon an
nounce those organizations that re-
port q 100 per cent enrolment.

want OF proper prosecution Of the
work necessary to the beneficial use
of the water"
1t was conceded, both by the petit
toner and the examiner, that right
to the use of the water is vested in
the state and that the federal power
commission cannot grant to the APP
plicant any right whatsoever to the
water unless he has first complied
with the laws of the commonwealth.
The only permit that the power COM
mission could grant, 1t was pointed
out, was the right to the use OF lands
abutting on the stream and then only
such lands as are owned by the fed
eral government.
Discuss Legal Issues
The hearing yesterday was given
over largely TO a discussion of legal
issues involved in the petition. John
l.. Gust, representing the Salt River
Valley Water Users association,
sought to show, through the intro
duction OF certain evidence. that the
petitioner had never complied with
the Arizona statute regarding filings
on damsite locations. He attempted
to introduce three documents pur-
porting TO be copies of all records or
life in the office of the secretary Of
state to show, he said discrepancies
in the legal aspects of the petition
er's case. To these. Engineer Baum
seriously objected, saying that he
would later file copies of all records.
Letters written by w. E. Wey-
mouth, chief engineer of the recla-
nation service. to Director Davis Of
the same department, in which he
recommended that the permit be de-
MED. were read into the record by

Salt River Valley Water
Users Association En-
ters Objection To Plan
TO Harness Black River

That Frank G. Baum, electrical en-
gineer of San Francisco, Calf, has
not complied with the Arizona stat
ute in filing on damsite locations
formed the basis of legal objections
interposed by the Salt River Valley
Water Users association to the en-
gineers application for a permit to
construct three storage reservoirs on
the Black river, in the Roosevelt lake
watershed.
These legal objections were writ
ten into the record Of the hearing
conducted here by Z. G. LaRue of
Pasadena, Calf, an examiner for the
federal power commission yesterday
The hearing was ended shortly after
| o'clock yesterday afternoon.
A supplemental semi-legal objec-
tion took the form of an opinion by
w. S. Norviel. water commissioner
for the state of Arizona, that all
rights OF the petitioned to damsite
locations on the Black river, il he
ever had any, had lapsed for the

Director Opposed
A telegram received by the SAT-
River valley project from Director
Davis also was made a part of the
record of the hearing This TELEGRAM:
said, in effect, that the director had
twice recommended TO the federal
power commission that the permit ne
denied but that subsequent develop
ments had created a doubt In his
mind concerning the feasibility OF the
proposed power development on the
headwaters of Black river.
Attorney Gust put a hypothetical
question to Engineer Baum at one
point of the proceedings yesterday
morning, a question which the Call
fornia man would not answer
IF your theory be correct, that the
construction of these three proposed
reservoirs on the upper Black river
would add to the water supply Tor
this project, would It not then he
possible to construct a series of small
reservoirs, a hundred or so. on the
headwaters OF the Salt and dispense
with the Roosevelt storage basin al
together with an actual gain of water
to the Salt River valley project? he
asked.
Burden of Proof
I'm the controversy over the water
phases of this issue we have lost al
sight of the legal features" Attorney
Gust told the examiner when he in
troduced the subject Of legality Of
of the petition.
ut must be remembered that the
Arizona statute provides that no
water in this state shall be harnessed
or any way interferred with for in
dustrial development of any kind un-
I'll the agricultural needs OF the COM
munity directly served by that stream
have been satisfied" he said.
The burden of proof as to the loss
or gain in water at Roosevelt through
the construction of these storage res
eryoirs rests upon the applicant, he
told Examiner LaRue, turning again
to the physical phases at issue.
Later in the morning, Del NJ. Potter
of Clifton appeared before the ex-
aminer and said that he would file
his proofs of a priority claim to the
damsites selected by Engineer Baum
late in the afternoon. These proofs
were filed with the commissioner be-
fore he left for his home at Pasadena
last night. supplemental proofs
maps, surveys, etc., will be filed later

PARTNERSHIP SPIRIT.

Many couples not congenial because one
will not become interested in the work that
the other is doing.
It is quite natural for a husband wife to
seek advice. to express ideas which will get in
formation and help from those interested in
their line.
Often II the husband the wife is not in
terested one or the other gets to drifting
toward some one Of similar tastes who will listen
interestedly.
The first breaches in tho homes of many
couples have come about the result Of lack
of sympathetic Interest between the husband and
wife.

Senator Underwood, who sat in the conference has
made clear his belief that if Russia should make attack
upon the Isle Of Sakhaln, in the next years. Russia
would have to deal not only with Japan, but also with
Great Britain, France and THE UNITED STATES.
When asked how the United States would be involved
his answer was, "Not NECESSARILY in war" For
this country to be involved necessarily otherwise in
war with Russia, in Russia should attack Japan to

That there will be three parties

there will be a Republican party

tion of society on the basis OF
q respect for the individual"
how near do Americans come
politically to meeting this test?
Humans, all know, are not equal
in capacity. America began, how
ever, promising equality of rights.
Is that promise fulfilledl
In one place, only-the ballot
box. There, barring frauds and
tricks, voters register equally.
But the minute the polls close, in
equality resumes.
In theory, when a poll has been
taken and a majority announced,
this will of the people should
become the law of the land.
But in practice all know there
are enormous barriers.
For example, by a 100000
plurality Americans in 1920 voted
against entangling alliances, yet
the intrigues to entangle us went
right on, many of our elected
servants assisting.
Both major parties promised a
bonus; in State after State the
people by great majorities
assented. But thin upper crust
Of tax lodging wealth objects and
the bonus still hangs fire.
AT least seven Americans in
every ten want honest service
from the public utilities, with no
picking of the peoples pockets.
But the three who thrive on
|pillage either capture the law
makers, the executives or, when
necessary, the judges.
In every conflict between the
people and the profiteers you
always find a Judge ready to do
what the latter desire.
If he is an elective judge you
must wait long time to displace
him. If, as is always the fact in
the big cases, he is an appointed
Judge, serving for life, you are
helpless.
So we see that the political
organization of our society is on
the basis of respect for the aver
age individual only a few minutes
Of each year, whereas during the
remainder of the time it is geared
to serve the rich, the powerful,
the unscrupulous, never number
ing more than fifteen to thirty
per cent.
To make our democracy more
democratic we need better demo,
cratic tools
The Initiative, by which we can
propose laws when our elected
agents balk;
The Referendum, by which we
can review laws when our elected
agents blunder; and
The Recall, by which we can
fire agents we no longer trust.
Especially those life appointed
judges, most of whom, except
nominally, never have been OUR
agents at all.
