Leland Stanford himself was deeply
interested IN the solid qualities to
be impaired by education and rather
impatient OF the superficial graces.
II Is common comment In the
southwest. however, that Mr.. Hoov-
er's forthrightness during his visit
has undoubtedly cost him thousa nds
of votes should he be a candidate
for the presidency.
Some adverse criticism was created
by the selection of his private sec
retary, G. G. Stetson, as executive
secretary OF the Colorado river COM
mission. Mr.. Stetson comes from
New England and has a typical Back
bay manner. which is not understood
in the west. Moreover, Mr.. Stetson
had never been In the southwest
until he made this trip. 1t was the
opinion OF the southwest that the
office OF the executive secretary OF
the Colorado river commission
should he held by some person In
the southwest familiar with the COM
pick problems of the Colorado river
and the region.
IL became more and more appar-
ent during the progress OF the hear
ings that the constitutional rights
OF the states must be determined be-
fore any action may be had. This
involves n decision OF the Colorado
Wyoming United States case which
has been before the supreme court
for nine years, On this case Color
ado maintains the theory that the
state owns all the water which orig
mates within its borders while the
federal government claims all unap-
propriated waters OF interstate
streams like unappropriated public
lands belong to the people OF the
United States.
Colorado's member on the Color
ado river commission is the states
attorney in the litigation before the
supreme court, Colorado frankly
opposes any settlement of the COM
plicated Colorado river problems
until this case is decided.
II is expected the decision will be
basic and will affect the water dis
tributlon in all states. In fact, the
battle over the Colorado river Oegal,
political. engineering, industrial, fl
nahcial and cconomic) is fundamen-
tai in all its determinations. IL has
virtually been chosen as the battle
ground to settle many conflicting
interests vital to the nation.
1t is anticipated the conflict Will
eventually settle whether the water
powers of the country will be de-
veloped by public or private enter
prise. II will determine the relative
values of agricultural developments
and water power developments
which are opposed. and II will set
tie many complexities in western
water laws that have long bothered
water users on desert lands.
In the meantime, however, I'M
perial valley In southwestern Cali
fornia is anxiously waiting for some
action TO protect its rich area from
threatening floods.

A comparative list OF those who

not opposed to tho death penalty
may have been due to tho comoll-

cause women are harder on their
