VALLEYlTES ARGUE
DAM ADVANTAGES
BEFORE [. A. men
Pros and Cons of Dam
Are Threshed Out;
Quote Hoover

before q committee consisting
of the publishers of the five Los
| Angeles daily newspapers Tuesday,
=, Congressman Phil d. Swing, Direc-
! tors Mark Rose and Earl c. Pound,
of the Imperial Irrigation District,
and +. w. Greer of the publicity
committee on Boulder Canyon dam
legislation, assisted by leading Los
Angeles citizens argued the merits
of the $50, 100000 bond issue which
has been proposed for the cOnstruc-
| tion Of 4 generating plant and pow
err transmission lines at the site of
Boulder Canyon dam. Opposed to
the supporters of the bond issue
We're r. Fl. Ballard, president
of the Southern California Edison
Company, and Judge Dana r. Wei
Ter.
Ballard opposed the issue as he
claims it will enable the city of
Los Angeles to compete unfairly
with the Edison and other power
companies, and it's real purpose is
to enhance the influence of group
of politicians. Judge Weller, rep
resenting the tax payers, opposed
the bonds because he claimed the
city commissioners did not take the
people into their confidence.
Swing Defends Bill
Congressman Swing declared the
bonds Offered an opportunity to
Los Angeles to prove it's oft-repeat
ed friendship for Imperial Valley,
and stated the power development
of the rAll-American canal, en-
braced in the Swing-J ohnson bill,
will quadrupIe the production of
the valley, one Of the richest see
tions of back country adjacent to
Los Angeles. He defended the
Swing.Johnson bill as being the
substance Of the FallDavis report
on the construction Of dam in the
Colorado river and quoted Secretary
Hoover's statement that legislation
for the relief of Imperial Valley
should go ahead even if the states
affected by the Santa Fe pact did
not ratify that compact.
Replying to a claim of Ballard 3
that Boulder Dam will generate
more power than can be marketed,
Mr.. Swing quoted Secretary Hoov-
er s testimony that there is an i'm
mediate market for 100000 horse
power and within 10 years there
will be a demand for 100000
horse power.
William Mulholland, builder Of
the Los Angeles aqueduct, defend
ed the bonds and wants the people
to decide whether they shall sell
out their right to utilize the power
generated by the dam or allow it
to be taken over by private cor
porations.
Pound Urges Bonds
Director Pound stated that the
recent congressional party which
visited the valley, told the people
here that congress must be present
ed with definite offer for the
power developed by the dam in adj
dition to the plea for protection
from flood, if the Swing.J ohnson
bill is passed. He also urged sup
port for the bonds from the people
of Los Angeles as proof that the
latter really desire to cooperate
with the valley and assist it in solv-
ing its problems.

In manner befitting the
glorious heroes of nation, Ell

those who who fought the bat

since been called to eternal
rest. Beneath a cloudless sky
crowded with California S bless
ed sunshine, tempered by a
cooling breeze, scant hand
full Of those who fought in the
stirring days of 81 '65, a score
of those who knew the priva-
tions of camp and battlefield
in '98, and a large number of
the still vigorous veterans of
the World War, escorted by
Boy Scouts and civic organiza-
tions, marched through the
streets Of the city in one Of
the finest parades seen here
since the war days.
The parade formed at Seventh

where ears were waiting to take the
paraders to Evergreen cemetery.
Along the line of march, scores of
ears were parked, filled with T.!

THEIR ME MORTAL DAY

"His mothers daddy wore the gray and
and fought for General Lee,
He taught our Dick the rebel yell,'
And told him tales of shot and SHE'LL
Holding him close with a hero's spell,
While the little lad sat ON his knee.
"My dad, he wore the Union blue, and rode
with Little Phil
He told Dick Of the wild night ride,
The steaming horses side by side,
The flash of sword and the armys pride,
And the youngster loved the thrill.
"Ris grandads argued battlefelds, and how
the was won,
They fought the old fights>o'er again,
And differed on the guns and men,
Threatening new fights now and then,
CAS- Dick thought) all in fun.
"Came II, Dick marched away, his grandads
watched him go,
Both were proud as he said good bye,
But looked not into each others eye
While Ma and l could only sigh,
AS tears refused to flow.
"He looked so young we prayed to God to
bring him safely home,
But hail Of steel from German nest,
Struck Dicks men like some ghastly pest,
Their buddies laid them there to rest,
Where their young blood drenched the loam
"He's sleeping in his own land now beneath
hero's sab
We're going to fix his grave today,
There's nothing on earth can keep us away,
Nor his grandadS two, the Blue and the Gray,
United through the Olive Drab.'

fugitive from justice.
Answering question from the
state department, the sheriff's of

that as far as the law here is con-
cerned Jesse Carson, Clara s com.

DAUCHERTY WOULD
QUIT AS ATTORNEY
GENERAL OF j. s.
Will Insist, However,
v on Naming Seymour
as Successor
By LAWRENCE MARTIN
United Press Staff Correspondent
Copyright 1928 by United Press)

WASHINGTON, May 30.-Attor-
ney General Daugherty would resign
from the cabinet if he could name
his own successor. He will not re-
sign if there is any likelihood that
Augustus p. Seymour, his first as
sistant and acting attorney general
for the past several months is to
be forced out in a political fight
for the place.
Daugherty came to Washington
this week, expressly to discuss with
President Harding the question of
his resignation.
Daugherty is sick. His physicians
have warned him that if he works
at his former tension he will not live
long.
Wants Private Life
He has wanted for some time to
get back to private business and
make some money for his family.
Seymour, whom Daughertv took
away from his Ohio law practice, to
be actual head of the department
of justice, has the department so
well organized and stands so high in
the estimation not only of admins
tration officials but of the Ameri-
can Ban that Daugherty wants him
made attorney general. Political
friends of Guy d. Goff of Wiscon-
sin, former assistant attorney gcncr-
al have put his claims forward in
vigorous fashion, however, and have
given notice they will fight to have
Goff named if Daugherty quits.

If It Fits

When he is a kid a fellow wishes every day was Christmas, but after he has been married a week he wishes every day was pay day.
 It sometimes seems that everything that is good for you requires a cul- tivatcd taste.
 We are informed by a cynical bach elor that the reason a single man goes to the club is because he has no wife to go homo to, and the req son a marrieds 'hian does is because he has wife to go home to.
 Evidently the things the world needs most are the things it is doing it's darnedest to keep from getting.
 When a married man reads of a wife who earns the living and sup ports her husband he begins to won- dor why he ncver had any luck in finding womana9ike that.
 Ono thing a man lcarns before the honeymoon reaches the last lap is that mere facts-rnot anything else, ever i9 gonna convince woman when she doesn't want to be con- vinccd.
 It is a great honor for a man to get a life iob but there isn't much honor to the meal-getting and dish washing life job a woman marries.
 You don't noed to attend school of dramatic art to learn to play the fool perfectly.
 Some girls consider the job of washing their own hair a bigger one than mothers job of washing all of the family's clothes.

 Already President Harding's newest addition to the English tongue shows signs of passing into gen era currency The Chicago Tribune tells it's readers that we have disposition to qubble over any party candidatorial pledge" Literary conserva- tiyes may be expected to object-to point out that the word is ugly and be used a precedent for still uger coinage What if Kipling were to speak of his noveistorial position? If President Harding lgoeJ on to deliver such a phrase my candidate rially uttered pledges. thus combining the word with favorite construction, may well shudder. But unlike "normalcy, the word fills real gap there is which will take it's place.

 Victor Berger, former Congressman, is in a iand where he feels thoroughly at home. He is in Germany attending the Socialist congress In the course of speech he said that the United States had no occasion to enter the war; that America if she possessed the heart and understanding, could all the damages done by the war; that the guilt for the world conflict should be equally assessed upon all the belligercnts. and that Germany was hurled into the war and was deceived by Wilson.
 If all the belligerents should be assessed equally tLen why ask the United States provide the money for healing all the damages done?
 Germany was deceived by Woodrow Wilson-she thought that when he said there was such thing as being too proud to fight she could go on sinking American ships and merchant ships carrying Ameri- cans without any danger of going into war But such decpction was not Woodrow Wilson's fault
