sTANn nv CONGRESSMAN SWING

i - ID
Riverside Press: Congressman Swing
has been attacked vieiously by the l.o,
| Angeles Times for introducing Il bill
for the construction OF the Boulder can
Won dam and the all-American canal
| two projects of more Importance to th'
| development of California than any
other Improvement measure ever INTRO
duced in congress.
The animus of the attack is we'll UNI
derstood. Harry Chandler of the Times
;s heavily interested in lands i'll the I'm
perial Valley below the Mexican line
These lands are now irrigated under ar
ranpements exceedingly favorable to
the owners; and it is believed that thcir
preferential advantage would be greatly
lessened in case the all-American canal
is built. All water from the Colorado
for irrigation in the Imperial valley,
both above and below the Mexican line,
is now taken out on Mexican territory;
and the claim has always been that the
land owners in Mexico have much better
rates than those in the United States.
If the all-American canal is built, I'm
perial Valley in the United States Will
he supplied from that source and the
would not have to be used by the set
tiers this side of the line. In other
words they would be independent; and
land owners in Mexico would have TO
look after their own system without
any help from the property owners TINS
side of the line.
Naturally Harry Chandler does not
want to see tho all-Ameriean canal bullf.
The Times article makes two bald
mis- statements. One is that the canal
is not practical. This is contrary to the
reports of government engineers VINO
have reported that feasible route for
this canal exists, starting at the La
puna dam, skirting the Coachella valley
and running on high land above the I'm
perial Valley. The other claim is that
Swing is introducing this bill simply as
piece of politics to help his reelection
As he will apparently have no oppoti-
ton in the primary or the general elec-
ton. that statement is absurd. He has
introduced the bill in order to promote
the interests Of. his constituents, and
they should back him to the limit in
the matter.
Riverside county is tremendously in
terested, both in the Boulder canyon
dam and the all-American canal. The
canal will make possible the irrigation
of 100000 or 100000 acres of very rich
land in the Chuckawalla section and the
Coachella valley and will result in de-
velopments that will add thousands OF
peope to the population OF the county
and millions of wealth to its assessment
rolls.
Naturally we are strong for that pro
iect and we do not give rap II Incl
dentally it results in somewhat reduced
profits for land owners in Mexico. We
are not unfriendly to Mexico, but loyal
tv to America comes first.

A woman who goes every year from
the city to small country town TO
spend her summer wants me to answer,
or get some of my readers TO answer, Il
question which has always puzzled her.
"Why is it, she asks, THAT the
country people seem to resent the pres
ence of the city people? l have been to
several country villages and IN all OF
them it is the same. They have the
mir Of inst putting up with us, ana YET
in everyone of those towns, about half
the money comes from summer people.
One of them really hadn' t another in
dustry, and people tell me that 20 years
ago before the summer people began
to come everything was-going to wrack
and ruin. Now there's half u dozen
fiourishing stores where there used TO
be one half-dcad one. Several families
make all their living from boarders
and a lot more women make their
spending money taking in Il few. The
people who stop at the Inn spend
money freely in all sorts of ways.
If They Stayed Away
There must be Il hundred thousand
a year of city money spent there and
the ,NlllaSe people nave llAtu up thtii
houses and bought automobiles and
victrolas and up-to-date clothes, And
then they act as if we were intruders
and they wish we d stay away. | won
der how they would like it if we did
stay away. / guess if we stayed away
a year or two they would be mighty
glad to see us back.
If a boycottc like that were possible
I wonder how it would work. | don t
suppose there is anyone who has gone
into the country from the city who has
not sometimes felt that resentment on
the part of the country people.
Many Cordial Country Folks
eyes, II take your money as q
special favor to you,' they seem to
say, "but we wish you were in Kala-
mazoo all the same ana we don t mind
letting you see it.
OF course l don I mean that all coun-
try people act that way. On the con-
trary! But l think we have all met
some who DO.

The Other Side

deal to be said on the other side of the
matter. Perhaps some of the country
folk who have suffered from the pa
trOrage or the unreasonableness, or the
whatever-it isness that makes the city

win present the other side for my read
