ROSE PREDICTS
FIGHT AGAINST
J. SIGNING OF PACT
Declares Northern States
Are COnspiring for
Power

+ According to Mark Rose, fight
will be staged to prevent ratifica-
ton of the Santa re pact by the
California senate, the assembly hav-
ing already voted in favor of rati-
fication.
Mr.. Rose maintains that Califor-
mia and Arizona interests are wo%en
into the Boulder Dam enterprise as
provided for by the Swing-Johnson
bill. The upper states find the solu-
ton Of their problem in the protec-
ton of their water rights against
appropriations for power and lccla-
nation purposes which may b. made
along the lower reaches of the ri' cr
A Northern States Invention
In n statement to the Press today
Mr.. Rose claimed that the Santa re
Pact was solely q northern states
proposition, devised and sought by
them because of their concern about
the more aggressive developments in
the lower tier of states. Without
the Santa Fee pact, the northern
states feel that they are equally
menaced by the power interests and
lay the reclamation and flood protec
ton projects. With the Santa Fe
pact in force, il is Mr.. Rose view
I hat the northern states might easily
become allies of the power interests
against the Imperial Valley project
in its fullest development and great
,-,,N 4 ID
;he power interests are maneuvering
TO save their vested interests and
present power investments against
the menace of cheap power such as
would be made possible by a com
plete development of the Bou!1,er
Dam project with tue power in the
hands of municipal or other public
ownership.
Swing, Johnson and Ross Oppose
Mr.. hose claims that Congressman
Swing, Senator johnson and Attor-
ney Ross support his views with EFF
Uence to deal on the Swing-Jotn-
son bill before agreeing to ratifica-
ton. Rose holds Fast to the old
school of negotiation and insists
that Imperial Valley cannot agree
TO the Santa Fe pact on its merits
without some provision for the par
ticular interest which is Imperial
Valleys concern.
Colorado In Line
RI. Rose stopped off at Denver
en- his way home and admits that he
found Colorado people in favor of
the pact, al! of which he considers a
bad sign and indicative of some sim
lister plan for our undoing. He
claims that craftsmanship in the up
per states is closely allied with
power interests and asserts that this
is well known and acknowledged in
Washington.
Mr., Rose is proceeding upon the
theory that ratification of the Santa
lfe pact by tie state assembly was
in default of organized opposition
and that the proposition may still
he hlocked by a drive upon the state
senate.

OPPOSES PHONE
co. FRANCHISE.
Would Compel Organization
Under Washington Laws

A recommendation that the Pa
cific Telephone and Telegraph ca.
be compelled to organize a Washing
ton corporation to manage the Sc
attic branch was made by Corpora
ton Counsel Thomas j. L. Kennedy
Tuesday. Kennedy believes that a
franchise should be denied the pres
ent company, which is organized in
California, and is not local con-
Germ.
Spokane has followed this plan.
and as a result has shut off the use
of federal courts by the phone COM
pany in its injunction fights.
By granting a franchise TO a
Washington corporation, the task
OF guarding against extortionafe
rates would DE simplified. Kennedy
believes. The books of the concern
would be kept here, instead OF al
San Francisco, where the company
now maintains its main office.
1t also would prevent the phone
company from rushing into federal
court TO obtain injunctions against
the rulings of the state department
of public works, which occurred
when the department recently re-
fused 10 grant increases asked by
the concern.
Kennedy is strongly opposed TO
renewing the franchise Of the com
pany, which expires July 10. under
the present condition, when the firm
is engaged in three legal contests
with the city of Seattle. While the
city has authority to order out the
phone service, and the franchise
permits condemnation and purchase
of the property. the state law blocks
such action, Kennedy says.
The supreme court has ruled that
the city cannot operate a utility
without express authorization Of the
state legislature. but the city has
ample authority to refuse to grant
new franchise to tho company,
unless 1t offers satisfactory terms,
Kennedy declares.

would depend upon developments.
They emphasized. however. that IL
was their intention to finance the
proposition with the least possible
burden ON Seattle. II the port did
not act promptly in accepting the
offer. Seattle would never obtain the
property. they said.
The commission has the authority,
according 20 ndvices from It's nttor.
neys. 10 issue bonds up TO ] per cent
OF the assessed valuation OF the port
property. This would make available
100000.
In case the government should re-
quest 10000 in cash. rather than
bonds. the commissioners declared
that a substantial percentage Of the
sum could be drawn from the gen.
eral fund and loan negotiated from
