Lessons From Accidents

Why are motor trucks always
thought to be on a long, long
journey?
The average driver will suspect
that the passenger car ahead may
turn into any driveway en- route, and
accordingly he watches his step
when he tries to pass. But 1t seems
to be different with truck. He
never seems to figure that the truck

GREAT SHOCK TO SO.
CALIFORNIA; NERVE

Probably no one was more Surprls-
ed over the federal power commits
sion's report on Colorado river devel-
opment than those Californians who
have been so confident that govern
ment construction of the Boulder Can
yon dam would be recommended.
For year they have been conduct
ing a vigorous campaign in support
of their plans. Recently they invaded
Washington in body to tell the
house irrigation committee just what
should be done with the Colorado
river. Their witnesses spoke in au-
thoritative tones, and seemed to feel
that their testimony constituted the
last word regarding the future of
the river.
And then, like a bombshell, came
the report of Work, doubling the
merit of the plan for a government
dam at Boulder Canyon.
Arizona should feel gleeful over
the jolt that has been handed Califor-
MIA. 1t should remember that Cali
fornia has always been generous with
the Colorado river, even admitting, at
times, that Arizona might be entitled
to a few drops of water from it. Ari-
zona should remember that it was two
California men who proposed that the
river be nationalized and Arizona de-
prived of the right to tax any prof.
ects, even though they were entirely
in Arizona. And Arizona should re-
member that Californians have invad
ed Washington on many occasions and
urged that something be done in de-
veloping the river for the good of ev-
eryone in the southwest, outside of
Arizona.
The worst thing about the attitude
of the three secretaries, however, is
that it is a gentle hint to southern
California that southern California
is not the all-supreme district, that
southern California cannot get every
thing it wants merely for the asking.
No wonder they are angry, our
friends on the other side of the river;
mo wonder they feel positively insult
ed. The very idea of three cabinet
members having the unmitigated
nerve to go against the wishes OF
southern California.
There is certainly too much inde-
pendence in Washington. = Tucson

FACTS YOU WON'T FIND
In LOS ANGELES PAPERS

"What with countless thousands
unemployed, men, even women beg
ging in the streets of Los Angeles,
shipments of produce prevented be-
cause of the foot and mouth disease
and building greatly reduced, it can
be said that the boom has burst IN
southern California" declared Sam
Mishkin this morning.
Mr.. Mishl1in, Mrs. Mishkin and
Herbert Finnegan have just returned
from a visit to the coast.
'In the San Joaquin valley, troub-
lous times are in sight," proceeded
the insurance man. "In Fresno, the
largest city in the valley, there are
900. 600 tons of raisins in store, to-
.gether with an expected crop of 300,-
600 tons in sight. The price is two
cents per pound as compared with an
expected figure of from twelve to
fourteen cents.
sThe people are due for crash
similar to that which @befell Phoenix
with the fall ingthe price of cotton.
@At Merced one day, we saw 1880
head of cattle slaughtered due to foot
and mouth disease. The cattle simply
have to be killed to prevent spread
of the trouble. It is said that some
system of reimbursement is being
worked out for the benefit of the un-
fortunate owners.
''The boom in Los Angeles is over.
1t was terribly overdone. Everyone
knows about the booming of the town
of Gerard. This is simply few
buildings on the Ventura boulevard,
26 miles out of Los Angeles. Lots are
going at a fraction of the offered
price now.
"And the unemployment. You can
get anybody for anything nowadays.
Even skilled mechanics are unable to
find work 1t is possible to get men
for just room and meals.
s'Of course, the reduction in the
building is responsible for much of
the trouble. Men with money simply
will not finance any more buildings,
| am told.
''The way those Californians boost
ed their state is an outrage. Boost
ing is all right in its place, but then
you can't live on climate alone.
"Yet there are terrible contrasts.
The big hotels are still crowded and
they charge high prices, as do the
theaters," concluded Mr.. Mishkin. -
