SAN CARLOS DAM BILL
Is FAVORED BY HOUSE

Construction Of a dam across the
canyon of the Gila river near San
Carlos, Arizona, was approved last
week by the house Indian commits
sion. Expenditure Of $5,500,000
would be authorized under the meas
ure, which has passed the senate.
The project contemplates providing
water for the irrigation of lands al
lotted to the Pima Indians on the
Gila river reservation, Arizona. Ir-
rigation of privately owned lands
within the discretion Of the secretary
of the interior also would be permit
ted.
Senator Ralph Cameron stated that
he is using every endeavor to have
the bill passed at this session of con-
gress and that so far everything looks
favorable for its early passage by the
house.
This bill calls for appropriation of
$5,500,000 for the construction of the
San Carlos project in the Gila river
valley, 100000 of which becomes inn
mediately available upon its passag4
by congress and the approval of ths
president.
Since the introduction of the bill il
the senate in November, 1923, by Sen
ator Cameron, and its unanimous ap-
proval by that body, practically all OF
the chambers of commerce and civic
organizations throughout the state
have passed resolutions endorsing the
measure and urging our. representa-
tives in congress to do every
thing within their power to secure it's
passage.

long productive slump which began in
1920, recovery was much moro slow and
hesitant than it appears to have been
this year. The reason for this, per-
haps, Is to be found in the very sharp
curtailment of the current year, a
slump which many now believe to have
been more pronounced and rapid than
fundamental conditions warranted. By
way of comparison, when the 1920 de-
cline in commodity production began,
1t took twice as long for the Reserve
Boards index to fall as many points
as 1t did from the February peak of
1924 to the August low mark. The re-
covery of September was, in fact, much
more rapid than was generally esti-
mated at the time. Fundamental con-
ditions in several ways aided materially
in making 1925 productive decline or
derby, although sharp. For instance,
the status of commodity prices is sound
today because the ease in money condi-
lions prevented any wild scramble to
sell surplus stocks of goods. The de-
cline in commodity values has. thus
been temperate.
