Construction Day by Day

So great and so constant is the growth Of demand
for telephone service that the Bell System invests
throughout the country average of three4quarters
of million dollars every working day for new tee-
phone plant. f 4s
New aerial lines are always under construction or
extension subways are being dug and cables laid,
larger building accommodations Under way,
swtchb0ards in process Of building Installation,
and added facilities Of every description being mus
tered into service to for the half million
new subscribers linked to the System every year.
This Observation-Disclosures, this large expendi-
ture of funds could not be carried cut efficiently
economically by unreieded, independent telephone
carnations acting wit boat cooperation in different
atons of the country Neither could be carried out
eff GENTLY economically by any organization die
tating from place the activities Of ALL nthe Bell
System all the associated companies share common
manufacturing and purchasing facilities which save
millions of dollars annually They share scientific dis
coveries and inventions. engineering achievements and
operating benefits which save further millions. But
The management of service in each given territory is in
the hands of the company which that territory
and which knows its needs and conditions.
By thus combining the advantages of union and
co operation with the advantages OF local initiative and
responsibility the Bell System has provided the nation
with the only type of organization which could spend
with efficiency and economy, the millions of dollars
being invested in telephone service.
Approximately two million dollars will be expended
in Georgia during 1923 for additions to your tele

IF WOMEN HATE WAR

With war threatening in Europe again, and with
women playing large part everywhere in public life,
Ida TarbeI raises the question whether really
do hate war-and if So whether they are going to do
anything about it.
eff the avowed hatred of woman for war is to be
more than a barren emotion she says, cher attack
must take on and more practical forms She
not end by passing resolutions organizing peace
societies, putting up posters-she must get down to
cases. No war without its cause Disputes, msunder-
standings conflicting interests world old prejudices,
fanatcism jealousy greed-these the seeds of
eff woman means it when she says that she hates
war she has first imperative duty, and that u.s. to
to it that these things watched and uprooted
they raise their ugly heads.
us woman serious enough in her campaign against
war to make the sacrifice of parsanshp, of dogma,
of her national preudices and traditions and help
build up international machinery which is always
not internationally but always-on the job of watching
the sproutng of the seeds that make for between
nations-a machinery which cries aloud when dis
pute arises and to its settlement would run

OPPORTUNITY EMBRACED

1t may be years before we shall realize the full i'm
portance of the message which from Sacramento
declaring that unanimous endorsement has been CIV
to the Santa Fe pact by the federal relations
mttee of the state senate followed Immediately by the
same unanimous approval when the pact present
ed to the full membership of the upper house at yes
terday's session.
An issue was involved in this matter larger than
the Santa Fe pact ITSELF larger than Boulder Dam
and the whole Colorado river project important
they are for the question which presented to the
California legislature in it's deepest and most subtle
applications went to the root of the social and civil
relations existing between sovereign peoples To those
having a full perspective upon this history making
faith and not of water To have had the issue couded
by personal exploitation petty politics would have
been to harass the whole forward march of civilza
ton.
The Santa Fe pact was adopted in spirit of con-
Citation which would have entitled it to support
had there been nothing else involved But, more than
that it is departure in diplomacy 1t is decar-
alton of the principle that adjustments may be made
on basis of broad fundamentals and that to that end
all that is necessary is the elimination of selfish ind-
vidual or community interests.
When the conferees sat down to their task at Santa
Fe they confronted by chaos of conflicting IN
terests and contentious. To have compromised them
would have been impossible. The conference could not
possibly have to settlement on basis OF parcel
inc out the spoils And so they deliberately went
around all Of this excluded community claims from
consideration and us the Sante re pact as an ex
preston of their highest understanding OF the equlues
of the matter. No has said that the adj ustment
was not equitable few failing of the spirit of this
whole mater, have still declared that the settlement
presented an opportunity for us get our.
An attempt to block this agreement IN the interest
of Boulder Dam and the all-American canal would
have been considered little short of polite blackmall
and not so polite that As the consequences of our
action fully comprehended there would certainly
have been the greatest resentment. Irritation might
perhaps have found expression in organized oppos
iton the enterprise around which all of future
centers 1t is not impossible that it might have result
ed in posponement of the Colorado river project for
years to until there should have been blotted
from memory the recollection of unworthy course
in the crisis when opportunity came to US to do
just and magnanimous thing.
All of this, however, is to be avoided. Wiser
sells have prevailed and the pact ratified upon
its merits. Officially Imperial County is in the clear.
Only individuals in error Directors of the Irri
cation District have set the couhty before the world in
the light that we shall wish to stand. We are written
into the record as standing for principle in way
which, the years roll on, shall point with the
greatest satisfaction.

BEGINNING AT THE BOTTOM

Speaking women in politics, and the sometimes
disappointing results of their accession to public office
Congressman Alice M. Robertson says:
1--WE had just come into full suffrage, and too
many of us assumed that could have the highest
places without educating ourselves to perform the
duties Of them" She advises women accordingly, to
begin with the smaller and humber tasks of political
life learning the ropes in their wards and grow
ing familiar with the machinery and problems of local
politics before they seek public honors in the state and
nation.
This is unquestionably sound advice. 1t is urging
women TO do what the men have near y always done,
when starting on political Politics is COM
plicated calling, and the natural sensible thing is to
begin at the bottom in politics in any other sphere
of human activity Why should women expect to begin
at the top?
