step toward actual prohibition. The
trouble lies in the enforcement
Moonshining, said Judge Watson,
had been carried on in the mountains
from the time that the government
imposed a tax upon liquor. But it
was being slowly suppressed by the
revenue officers until there was very
little of it in the mountains of east
ern Kentucky But since the financial
interest Of the government in the
suppression of the manufacture had
ceased the moonshine industry has
increased tenfold until it now 1t is
becoming greater than ever. 1t was
stated, he said, that there was not
less than 3o000.000 gallons of whisky
produced by all the moonshine dis
tricts of the southern mountains.
The government, said Judge Wat
son, would have to take hold of the
enforcement just as it did Of the
control of liquor: take it entirely out
OF sentiment and religion and make
a business of enforcement. There
must be taken into account now a
certain sympathy which law abiding
people feel with the maker and seller
of liquor and the abuses which grow
out of the enforcement machinery.
He related the case of friend and
neighbor of his, physician, who is
an ardent advocate of the most rigid
enforcement. The doctor is man of
the highest integrity. and advocates
nothing that he does not believe to be
right But his activity in favor of
enforcement attracted a political op
ponent who went to the drug store
which filled the prescriptions of the
doctor and took a list of 81 prescrip-
tons for liquor which the doctor had
issued in a month at SO each.
This fact was published. Now"
said Judge Watson. "the doctor was
not in the slightest degree influenced
in favor of enforcement by the OPP
portunity which it gave him for is
suing prescriptions. But the people
who do not know him think it was.
THE gov veIrment itself should take
actual control of all liquor. and il 1t
is to be dispensed for any purpose.
the government should dispense 1t
and take for itself whatever revenue
may be derived from the transac-

Judge Watson, Il have an advantage
over most of the folks: l am saved

There is, said Judge Watson. no
part of tn United States. or for that
matter. no part of the world. where
the Anglo Saxon is stronger and
pufer than in the southern Appalach-
ians. There, fewer changes have been
undergone since the settlements were
made by their hardy. hard fighting
and Godfearing forefathers. They
have developed some habits that have
not been given outside approval, no.
tably in their feuds. But even their
feuds are expressions of their sense
of Justice Most feuds, said Judge
Watson. have their origin in some Sc
rious mattes more frequently than
not in some crime against women. the
defiling of a daughter or sister or in
the invasion of the sanctity of the
home.
But with the development of the
mountain region the mountaineers are
being brought into contact with the
people of the Iowlands and their as
perities are being softened.

feasible.
The complete feasibility should be
determined in such detail that the
question of the practicability and cost
OF all structures. together With the
area and location of the land that can
be reclaimed, must be known defi-
nitely. This. work cannot be done
without considerable cost, and the
purpose of the southwestern section
of the National Reclamation associa-
tion is to secure funds that will en-
able this to be accomplished, and
also to educate the people of the
United States to a realization OF the
benefits they will derive from the
highest possible development and
utilization of the Colorado river.
To Safeguard Rights
1t may further be advisable that
the state Of Arizona, in its sovereign
capacity. may take some early and
positive action toward securing and
preserving its rights in the enormous
possibilities of the Colorado river,
and preventing any dinlinution of the
annual flow of the river where it en-
ters the Grand Canyon and insuring
its highest efficiency and utilization
to the United States.
In CONCLUSION, may recapitulate,
that as they were set forth in the in
vitation to this meeting, the objects
of this organization will be TO rurtner
the adoption of the American
National plan for the control and
utilization of the Colorado and Gila
rivers, as advocated by the National
Reclamation association, which is as
follows:
/. That there shall be no din1inu-
tion of the aggregate annual flow OF
the Colorado river at the north boun-
Diary line of Arizona,
2. That the Glen Canyon dam
above Lees ferry on the Colorado
river and the Sentinel dam on the
Gila river shall be built for immediate
flood protection for the Imperial val
ley and the Yuma project.
8. That the Boulder Canyon dam
shall be built to a height that viii

the irrigation of two and half mill
lion acres of land in Arizona.
The meeting was then taken in
charge by Mr.. Vernon Clark as chair

man, who introduced William VIII
son, division superintendent of the
Southern Pacific railway. Tucson,
who spoke briefly on the Importance
of the development OF the Colorado
river. The next speaker was Mr..
Peter Robertson of Yuma, whose ad-
dress was confined mainly to dis
cussion OF the relationship between
the United states and Mexico with
regard to the control of the river
and who declared that Mexico had
no part in deciding upon what should
be done. Mr.. Robertson supported
his assertions by quotation of the
Guadalupe Hidalgo treaty between
the two countries with reference to
the river.
Mr.. Maxwell then delivered his ad-
dress, after which Fred Lack of
Brawley, Imperial valley; William S.

s. v. SECTION Of
Re LLAMA 7 ION
ASSN. IS FORMED

The organization OF the south
western Section of the National
Reclamation Association with head
quarters in Phoenix, to carry on the
work of educating the people of the
United States in the so-called Ameri-
can National plan for developing the
Colorado river through the mainte-
nance of George H. Maxwell in the
field. was perfected at a dinner held
at the Hotel Adams last evening
which was attended by almost 200
Phoenicians and delegates to the
highways conventions.
The feature of the evening, aside
from the adoption of the resolution
forming the new section and the APP
pointment of a committee provided
for in the document, was an address
by Mr.. Maxwell in which he set forth
the views for the development of the
river for which he has stood consist
emily for several years.
In his address Mr.. Maxwell Inn
pressed upon his auditors the neces-
sity of building not only the Boulder
canyon dam, but also the Glen Cam
yon dam as protective measure and
then the doing away with the flood
menace OF the ella river for the pro-
lection OF the Yuma and Imperial
projects. he declared that the Glen
Canyon dam can be built in two
years, and then, with that dam COM
pleted. the Boulder Canyon dam can
be completed with hindrance from
high water. Otherwise, he said. the
Boulder Canyon dam is hardly a pos
sibility. The Glen Canyon dam can
be completed, Maxwell said. in two
years, while the Boulder Canyon
dam alone cannot be completed in 10
years.
With special reference to the flood
menace along the lower reaches of
the Colorado river the speaker drew
a startling example of lack of fore
sight in the days dispatches concern
ing the floods now being experienced
along the lower Mississippi, and
pleaded with his hearers to pay at
tention to the warnings which have
been sounded with reference to the
necessity OF controlling the Gila
river.
Following his address. Wallace
Button of the chamber of commerce.
submitted the resolution providing for
the formation Of the southwestern
section of the National Reclamation
association. which was adopted with
out a dissenting vote. This resolu-
tion follows:
Resolution Adopted
1t is the sense Of this meeting that
a permanent organization shall be
made to be known as "'The South

Reclamation Association" with an
office to be maintained in Phoenix
and the work directed by special
organization known as the south
western Section. ?
THEREFORE,. be it resolved that
the chairman appoint committee of
five to effect a permanent organiza-
ton.
That this committee shall appoint
an executive committee of fifteen
with full power to act, of which at
least eight shall be appointed imme-
diately, the remainder of the commit
tee to be appointed at a later date
when the organization is more COM
plete; that this committee shall be a
representative committee from the
different communities.
That the permanent organization
shall maintain an office with repre-
not less than one hundred: the COM
pletion of the appointment of said
advisory board shall be completed
within three months from date.
That the executive committee as
soon as they can complete an Or
ganizatlon of sufficient membership,
shiIl maintain an office with repre-
sentatives as they deem advisable.
That the main object of this organ
ization is to keep George H. Max
well in the field on an educational
campaign for the educating of the
people of the Southwest and OF the
United States to the full idea of the
American National Plan of develop
ment of the Colorado and Gila rivers
for immediate flood control, power
and reclamation.
The committee of five members
provided for in the resolution to form
q. permanent organization was named
after the adoption of the resolution,
and includes the following:
Col. w. A. Glassford, Wallace But
ton, George H. Maxwell, James c..
Dobbins and Joseph r.. LOTUS
The meeting was opened by Col
w. A. Glassford in the following adj
Col. GIassford's Address
We are met to make preparations
to harness and control the Colorado
river. The reason we few are doing
this, is that from our experience and
contact, almost of a life time as des-
ent reclaimers and mountain miners
we clearly see that by regulating the
flow of the flood waters of the Colo
rado river and utilizing the. greatest
hydro electric power resource in
America, in the Grand Canyon of
Arizona, there can be created an as
sembly of industries that will aston
ish the world. In so doing we are
commencing here today to build a
new western empire.
On the northern boundary of Ari-
zona nature has been for thousands
of years making the thigh walls
around the largest and deepest reser-
voir sites in the world. In this inn
mense nature built structure, in the
Boulder Canyon, the Glen Canyon,
and other canyons, great dams will
be built.
I will tell you why. The VAST sums
of money that in the past have been
provided for war preparation must
find a better investment in beneficial
projects for human welfare. Deadly
gas, and the airships to carry it, are
proof enough of the fact we must
have an end OF war or humanity will
be exterminated.
