Los ANGELES WORRIED
ABOUT ARIZONA POWER


The following Washington dispatch
to the Los Angeles Times would in
ticate that Los Angelenos were much
worried over the Colorado river sit
uation and are fearing the federal
government won't give them the river
and power free:
While w. 3. Mathews and Arthur
P. Davis, former head of the reelama-
tion service, are here ostensibly to Sc
cure passage of the Johnson bill for
the all-Ameriean canal, they have
been flirting with some of the Ari-
2ena people who are blocking the rat
ification in that state Of the Colorado
river pact.
Arizona wants to build dam there
and build it now and has been seeking
the support Of the municipal power
boosters Of Los Angeles. All the ne
gotiations have been mysterious and
secret, but Arizona is anxious to
have the support of Mathews, Carr
and all the other boosters for munic-
ipal water power development in the
Colorado river.
In view of the suggestion made in
the letter to the chamber of COM
merce for large addition of water
and power from the Colorado river as
suggested by President DelValle of
the water power board of Los An
geles, Arizona rnanipulators thought
they had a vast source of revenue
in Los Angeles and apparently are
trying to close up some kind of a
compact. They want to get Los An
geles all signed up in advance of any
action on the Colorado River-Seven
States agreement, but they have con-
cealed from the Les Angeles public
the great interest Arizona is taking
in the proceeding.
The taxpayers of Los Angeles do
not yet know that Arizona proposes
to tax every ounce of energy taken
from the Colorado by Los Angeles.
The tentative offer to the preliminary
Los Angeles negotiations is that Los
Angeles for every horse power Of cleo
tric energy must pay the state of Ari-
zona So tax.
This has upset all the plans of
the municipal power boosters from
Los Angeles, for they are at loss
for some means to sell this scheme to
the tired taxpayers Of Los Angeles
who have already put millions into
the Aqueduct plant and its auxiliaries.
Mathews, Davis and Carr and the 9TH
er California supporters of the activ-
tiles of the municipal water and pow
er boosters fear that the taxpayers
will balk at this program and they are
also reasonably certain that the city
could not compete with private power
producers if the Arizona tax of SIS
per horse power has to be paid over
and above the cost Of production and
distribution.
1t is q new angle to the conflict in
the Southwest over the power possibil-.
tiles Of the Colorado river and in the
meantime legislation which will per-
init of flood control and the saving Of
the Imperial valley is being jeopar-
dized by the failure of Arizona to rat
ify the Colorado river pact. 1t Is as
serted that flirting of Los Angeles
municipal power boosters to the pact
in Arizona may yet mean disaster
to the Imperial valley and hold off
federal flood control until too late.

OF IL per cent. The marketing OF
this enormous crop must OF neces-
sity provide the farming sections
with ready money. Although they
are breaking records in buying
merchandise. not all Of their mon
ey is being diverted to the retail
trade The reports of banks and
the War Finance Corporation show
the farmer is paying off his loans
which he negotiated two and three
years ago during the, period Of his
stress.
The savings deposits are over
billion dollars greater nov than
they were last year, and in>the az
gregate they fall only little short
of our total interest-bearing public
debt. Commercial agencies report
fewer failures in retail trade than
in previous years. All advertising
records have been broken in the
year 1923 More life insurance has
been written this year than in any
previous year. More wage earners
are employed in industry than ever
before in our nations history, and
the total amount Of wages paid
this year exceeds that OF 1920 when
industrial employment and wage
levels were thought TO be at their
peak.
In brief, ali classes of people are
paying off more debts, spending
more money in the channels of
legitimate trade, and at the same
time saving more money than ever
before in the history OF the United
States.

LOU BLoNGER, LEADER
OF BUNco RING, DIES


Behind the gray, bleak walls of the
state penitentiary at Canon City Lou
Blonger, aged leader of the 100000
bunko ring, convicted year ago along
with other members of the swind1ing
ring, died at S:45 clock Sunday morn
ing, following lingering illness.
Blonger's greatest fear-that he
would die behind the prison walls
weighed on his mind for the last two
weeks Of his illness, according to DR..
R. E. Holmes, who attended him, and
hastened his death.
"He had made repeated efforts to be
transferred from the penientiary to a
private hospital" DR.. Holmes said,
"and his failure to obtain this trans.
fer seemed to weaken his morale. For
two weeks he knew that death was near
and he made no effort to fight for his
life. Although we had provided a
wheel chair for his use, he preferred to
remain in bed and made no attempt to
rally his strength against disease"

against Mrs. Matte Gilman, charged
with the murder Of her husband, i. A.

guilty Of murder in the second desfee.
The verdict was returned in less than

jury in eating supper, 1t being reported
that but one ballot was taken, the
jurors being unanimous in their de-

was as to whether the woman should
be pronounced guilty of first or second

and Wyoming.
Mark thinks that northwest section
has a wonderful future before it and
says prosperity is becoming quite gen.

many to predict verdict of guilty.
District Attorney Delaney, in behalf

Of The People, made a strong argu-
ment against the woman, reviewing Der
life and history for many years and
especially since her residence with Gil
man in the Roam creek country. M. ].
Mayes made q hard fight for his client,
dwelling strong on the theory that the
woman had been abused and beaten by
her husband until this treatment had
induced species Of insanity which
rendered her irresponsible for her acs
tion at the time the crime was COM
mitted.
The case was one of the ugliest ever
on trial in Glenwood court, bringing
out the sordid and unclean to q
marked degree, bringing out feeling
of resentment and disgust, coupled
with feeling of pity to some extent
for the poor weak woman called upon
by the state to answer for her sin and
crime.
