WOULD BE PROUD
TO HAVE ACTION
DURING HIS TERM
Refutes False RumOrs Of
Enemies That He
FrOWns on Bill

Splendid news was received today
in Imperial Valley when announce
ment was made of receipt of a tele-
gram in Los Angeles from President
Coolidge mqnalifiedly pledging his
support and cooperation to the Colo
RADIO river project. The wire was
received today by Charles G. Tague,
chairman of the Southern California
Republican presidential campaign in
Los Angeles.
The news will act as a strong ref
utation of the claim made by Cool-
idge enemies that he is unfavorable
toward the legislation and is doing
what he can to prevent speedy con-
summation of the Swing johnson
bill, which is to come up before con-
gress for action when that body con
venes early in December.
President Coolidge pointed out
that he favored the Construction of
a dam on the Colorado river under
federal control and stated that it
would be matter of great pride 10
him if the project could be complet-
ed during his administration.
The Coolidge telegram follows:
Il have received your inquiry
as to my views upon the develop
ment of the Colorado river. You
will recollect that had the pleasure
to state year ago that the time
had come for the federal govern
ment to undertake the construction
of the great works upon the Colo
RADIO and | recommended the matter
to congress IN my message.
''The administration has through
the secretary of commerce been un-
ceasing in its endeavor to settle the
legal conflicts which have hitherto
barred its ;consummation by Opposi-
ticn in congress.
The major purposes Of the works
to be constructed there involve two
fundamental questions which must
always remain i'll public control that
is, flood control and the provision
of immense water storage necessary
to hold the seasonal and annual flow
so as to provide for the large re-
clamation possibilities in both Cali
fornia and Arizona.
.'These considerations seem TO me
to dominate all others and to point
to the federal government
as the agency to undertake the con-
struction of a great dam at Boulder
Canyon or some suitable locality oh
viously to be determined by the best
engineering talent that can be Sc
cured in the nation.
II should indeed look with great
pride on the consummation of this.
)ne of our greatest national improve
mcnts, within my administration.
