PUT SkIDS UNDER
AMERICAN FALLS
WILL MOVE SOUTH IDAHO CITY
TO MAKE ROOM FOR GREAT
DAM

American Falls, Idaho-(A. P)=
This little agricultural community
has consented to plans for it's re-
moval to new townsite as the re-
suit of negotiations by representa-
tives of the United States govern
ment. The present site, according to
plans, will be inundated together with
$4,000 acres surrounding it, to make
way for the construction of the gigan-
tic American Falls reservoir.
Authorization of plans to build the
reservoir, which will be the largest in
the United States and the fourth
largest in the world, with capacity
of 100000 acre-feet of water, was
given at recent special election in
the American Falls irrigation district
The district embraces approximately
100000 acres. The cost of the pro-
ject is estimated at $12,O00,000.
The immensely of the proposed re-
servoir may be realized by the state
ment that it will be among the
worlds wonders as a means of water
storage. There will be only three
comparable reservoirs, one on the
Euphrates, one on the Nile, and the
one created by the Gatun dam at
Panama, which is not an irrigation
project.
The floor of the reservoir will con-
tain $4,000 acres when the project is
extended to the full capacity of 3,00O,-
600 acres All preliminaries have
been based on the maximum reser-
voir
The estimated cost of $12,0OO,000 in
cludes all preliminaries, including
moving the town of
American Falls, the railroad, ETC.
The height of the dam for the Ameri-
can Falls townsite unit will be Is
feet. Addition of 20 to 25 feet will
double the capacity, or make the re-
100000 acre-feet, at the re-
latively small cost, according to Off
cials, of between $3,0O0,OOO and $4,-
100000
The benefits of the project will ex-
tend to all south Idaho, and general
of business in all lines,
agriculture, will result, Off
cials say. With an ample water sup
ply to meet all shortages, values will
be STABILIZED and a remarkable devel-
Opment is predicted.

Editorial Comment
League Must Live Down Corfu

ipubllC Ledger
The session of the League Of
Nations that ended Saturday at
Geneva did not increase it's prestige
or heighten the hopes of the world
that it is to be the instrument of
an enduring peace. In the four
years OF League history the last
month was the darkest period.
Confronted with sthe Greco
Italian incident. the League faltered
and missed a high opportunity. 1t
failed to do the very work for which
it was created. CLOSING over that
failure is impossible. 1t is written
into the record. and may as well be
admitted by all friends of the
League.
Confidence in the League as the
shield and bucller for mutual
guarantees against war and for ma
tlonal security has been badly
shaken among the Little Peoples and
the lesser Powers. Looking back at
the Corfu seizure. they are afraid
of future Mussolinis. They saw
what one determined dictator was
able to do in defiance of the League
and OF world opinion. The fact that
trouble was prevented by the old
school of diplomacy, through the
Council of Ambassadors and not
through the League. was not lost
upon the Scandinavian States and
the new succession States of the
Baltic and,of Central Europe. They,
frankly. arc afraid of the future.
The League. nevertheless, has lived
through that crisis and has adjourn
ed it's fourth assembly with high
hopes for the future. Despite the
disbursements and the shaken
faiths of certain OF it's members, it
is going along with its wider work
of binding the world in the bonds
Of mutual guarantees. The mutual
aid treaty it is now placing before
the world promises to he first step
toward general and genuine world
disarmament. This is the one tam
gible and outstanding ACCOMPLISH
ment OF the League in the last
year.
In the final days Of It's session the
League turned again and again to
the United States. The hope of any
real accomplishment by Geneva
seems bound up With the other hope
that America may soon enter or
tacitly work with the League. Tho

WHY FRlTTER AWAY AMMUNl-
TON

1.-THE child life Of our country
must he conserved at all hazards"
declares Gompors.
Here We agree with Mr.. Gompers
We would not waste on trivialties
ammunition that is needed in fight
ing the cause of the children in in
duStry.
We would not hamper states that
have done away with child labor and
lessen their power of competition
with states that persist in working
the children in their mills and fields.
Is it reasonable to devote energy,
money and time crusading for
4S-hour law in Maine and do moth
ing in those southern states that per-
init children to he doomed to
drudgcry and mature labor to 60
hours per week?
Very likely enough people will not
take the trouble to vote on the
question Oct. Is. so just that kind
of a policy may be endorsed. Also
very likely, part at least of those
who vote will congratulate them
solves as having done something for
labor.
Much depends on point of view.
but this doesn't relieve those who
take the wrong one of responsibility.
Anyhow, down here in Maine We
don't approve of child labor: we are
with Mr.. Gompers on that till the
COWS come home.

AS 1T WAS

An exchange recalls the following
incident when certain lobster legis-
lation was before the Maine House:
"For hours the opposition used
cTatory and eloqucnce and then came
the turn Of the sponsors of the bill,
represented only by fisherman
from Spruce Head. Very brief was
his speech for he said only: 4 amt
no orator but l am a fisherman and
| can tell these city gentlemen that
the more Holsters YOU take from the
sea the less Holsters remain in it.
1t was an argument that appealed
to the members and the bill was
triumphantly passed"
That was years ago before Maine
had been propagandized with the
idea that it is possible to eat the
cake and have it, too: that shorter
hours of production result in greater
production and more pay.

In a previous editorial we stated
that we ware '1oath TO believe That
Professor Irving Fisher had been as
Cuipahle regarding his 1920 interview
with Mr.. Harding as appearances in
Dictated. Since then Prof. Fisher
has assured U.s. that he intended no
disrcspcct for Mr. Harding and that
the audiences before which his re
marks were made fully understood
his meaning and took no offcnse.
Professor Fisher contends that ne
lived M to the prcccpt de moituls
Mill nisi bonum cot the dead say
nothing hat good"D; that to say good
of 4 man after he is dead can hc
no betrayal Of confidence. especially
as what Ny. Harding so explicitly
told him was made public few
weeks later in the campaign when
Mr.. Harding said that any good
remnants Of the existing league
should he used in building the AS
ISOLATION Of Nations; and that the
famous manifesto Of the 81" ap-
proved by Mr. Taft and signed by
Root. Hughes. Hoover, Strauss and
Lowell said the same.
We can have now no doubt of
Professor Fishers good faith in the
matter Had he conveyed to tho
millions Of newspaper readers the
same picture that he conveyed to the
few hundreds or thousands VINO
heard him at his lectures and to us
since, we could have had TO fault to
find.
Unfortunately he did not succeed
in doing this and must he held
responsible for the consequences.
He cannot. and does not, cast any
blame on the Associated Press nor
on the newspapers who used the
Associated pcrSs dispatch as it was
sent out 1t was his own authorized
agent who gave out the report and
Professor Fisher admits he author
lied that agent to edit the statement
as originally prepared. In that edit
ing, or boiling down. an essential
point was lost sight Of. namely that
Professor Fisher was using his inter
view to Corroborate the recent state
ment of Walter Wellman so that
the two together would constitute
proof of Mr.. ITarding's intention
from first to last to make good on
the promised Association of Ma
tions" instead Of having conveniently
forgotten il as some of his critics
had claimed.
Professor Fisher appears to have
been the victim of circumstances
But he has himself to blame. a
principal ia responsible for the acts
of his agent, and Professor Fisher
should have taken infinite pains in
