THE DAWES FAMILY
Continued from page one)

also brothers of "Helen Maria" Dawes
are executives. In passing, it might
be mentioned that the Dawes family
! is strongly represented on the gov.
efnment pay roll, as Rufus Cutler
IS IN Germany with the reparations
commission and Henry May is con.
troller Of the currency under Secre.
] tary Mellon.
Dawes Bros. Own Humphreys Stock
According to the testimony of Be-
man Gates Dawes, Dawes Bros. inc
own a large interest in the Humph-
reys Oil Company, so it is apparent
the Dawes family must have profited
py money made in the Continental
lease transaction. While "Helen
Maria" is not on record, so far as has
been ascertained, as being a member
OF Dawes Bros, Inc, there is little
doubt that he has more than MA
tonic interest in the affairs of the
banking institution. The Dawes
brothers stick together and it is al
most lnconceivable that "Helen Marian
did not have share of the So, 900 900
pie" His profits may have been de-
rived from the sale of the oil by
Humphreys and so have been strictly
Legitimate" but there is the possibil-
lty that ne also may have been among
those who, like Fall, are alleged to
have been given slice of the $4,000
900 profit.
Other sharers in the $4,000, 900
Jackpot" may be revealed when the
government prosecutors examine wit
nesses who are now resisting efforts
to get information from them. The
affldavits telling of the $4,000, 900
profit were filed at Toronto to meet
requirements of Canadian law and the
earliest date that hearing can be
held is January g. Until then it is
hardly probable that the witnesses
whose testimony is sought by the
government will unburden themselves.
Pure Oil Company a Dawes Concern
1t is perhaps not generally realized
that members Of the Dawes family
are heavily interested in the Pure Oil
Company, one Of the largest oil COM
panies in the country, and often call
ed the dawes Pure Oil Company.
1t is known that Harry Daugherty,
the late Pesse Smith and others Of the
"Ohio gang" which held such high
positions in the Harding administra-
tion were large holders Of Pure Oil
stock. Operations in Pure Oil stock,
in which big profits were made by

HAREM MUST GO OR
 COUNTRY WILL FACE
 SCARCITY OF |vAEE|0MEH!'
NOT ENOUGH WOMEN TO SUP PLY EVERY HUSBAND WITH FOUR WIVES AND THEN HIGH COST SILK STOCKINGS IS AN OTHER ITEM.

ANGORA, Feb. 27-Polygamy and the harem must disappear from Tur- key, if the recommendations made by the Turkish parliamentary commission are adopted by the national assembly. On the grounds of economy, and be- cause of the growing scarcity oI mar- Iriageablo women, members of the commission believe that the modern Turk should be content with but one wife. They believe that if each man were to avail himself of four wives permitted by the Koran there would not be sufficient women in Turkey to make possible one wife for every man.
 The commission recommends also the granting to women of the right to divorce, as we'll as giving them re- course to the law courts for separa- tion proceedings, instead of the pres ent method whereby the husband has only to return the wife's dowry and say "Begone", and the wife is cast adrift.
 These principles in favor of mono gamous marriages and modern divorce will be urged by deputies when the project comes before the assembly. It is certain to meet with determined op- position by pheasants to whom four wives, which is the maximum number allowed by the Prophet Mohammed, may be often a source of wealth be- cause they are all forced to work on the farm.
 We'll Say So
 l The modern Turk of the city finds it impossible to maintain such a harem 1 because he has learned that Turkish women of the better class are fond of exvensive dresses and pretty things. Silk stockings for three or four wives cost lot of money. He has also ffound that if a man takes more than one wife, he must take three. Two are impossible, he says, because they quarrel all tn ctime and the husband is bound to be unhappy; each will ask him to take her side and there will be no peace in the home.
 But with three wives it is explain ed, there is harmony because the wives keep their quarreling to them selves, and if one becomes too strong the other two will unite against her.

The Coconino sun., 1924-03-14

the proposition of whether, when the
dam is built, the work should be done
by contract or force account. This
has as much to do with the river pact
as has the location of the dam.
Let US keep history straight. The
states of Arizona and California have
large areas of excellent land already
under cultivation, Arizona 10000
acres in the Yuma valley, and Cali
fornia large tract in the Palo Verde
valley and 10000 acres in the Imper-
ial valley. The last area is below
the level of the sea and, when the an
nual June floods occur, desperate
and very expensive fight must be
made to keep the river from destroy
ing this vast acreage.
A suitable dam in the Colorado,
which can be built, will save the val
leys from complete destruction. The
United States government has been
asked for aid in building this dam
and has proposed that before any
money is appropriated, the states
within the Colorado basin must form
treaty dividing the waters. A COM
mission was appointed, an agreement
drawn and submitted to the legisla-
lures of the various states. While 90
per cent of the waters of the Colorado
fall practically within the states of
Wyoming and Colorado, these states
adopted the pact which gives the low
er basin so per cent of the water. Cal
ifornia, Nevada, New Mexico. Utah.
Wyoming and Colorado kept the ques-
ton out of politics. Their politicians
were too big to make tia political
issue. 1t remained for Arizona to
make the blunder. During the cam
palgn for governor in 1922, the ratifi-.
cation of the pact was endorsed by
Tom Campbell. This set the teeth on
edge of many democrats, some of
whom were far up in the party coun-
ellis. When the legislature met last
January, governor, you assured us in
your message that you were not
against the pact, but asked that act
Jon be not taken hastily. We, who
knew the urgent need of river protec-
Lion could not see the advantage of
further delay and resolution endors-
ng the pact was introduced by Kean
5. Charles in the senate and by my
self in the house.
Considerable progress was being
made and another message was deliv-
cred by yourself asking us to await
The receipt of the findings of the
American Engineers commission, call
"a the LaRue report from its chair
nan. You were ably seconded in
vour efforts by George Maxwell who

feet of water by treaty. 1t seems
these two representatives had the the
ory that the Arizona legislature
makes treaties with foreign countries,
and majority of the house was
with them. 1t was this same repre-
sentative, Douglas, that went with
you down to Washington to set the
general government right on this and
other matters. You were down into
Mexico many miles with a congress-
ional party last summer. Now, on
the word of an honest man, did you
see any Jap settlement, or even a
single Jap? This Jap scare is some
more of Maxwell's smoke screen as
you certainly know the pact will not
put a single yellow family in the del
ia of the Colorado. Maxwell's under
study, Senator Fred Coulter, evident
ly knows this also.
Now, in conclusion, governor, | am
no politician, only an observing far
mer of the Yuma valley. | live by
the side of the Colorado, and for ten
years have seen the annual fight
against the floods of this mighty
stream, made by the citizens of I'M
perial and Yuma valleys, and know
the dangers Of the same. The people
here demand relief and have little pa
tience with those in power in high
places who, to gain political prestige
with power interests opposed to a
dam, talk of limiting the United
States in making a treaty with Mex
leo, conjure up the Jap scare, and
from the platform and through the
press, paint a lurid picture of dan
gers which never existed.
The Yuma valley is, democratic,
strongly so, but even democrat sees
no danger of passing the pact, even
if it was advocated by Tom Campbell
and the republican party as well as
by the democrats. Yuma valley needs
flood protection and cannot wait a
score of years or more for it because
of political jealousy.
The old states rights question was
an issue for years and was used by
demagogues and politicians to secure
pelf and place. It resulted in the
result of the loss of the best manhood
of the north and south. Today we
still have the same kind of agitators
on the Colorado question who, from
the rostrum and through the press,
talk long and loud of "Arizona's heri-
tage," Estate rights, our debt to
posterity," etc. Meanwhile each year
there are millions of acre feet of wa
ter running to waste down into Mex
leo, doing no good either to the myth

! understand the pact yourself nor are
you seeking for light when you fol-
low men like Mr.. Maxwell.
There is little to the pact. It does
not contain single word as to the
location of the dam, nor what dispo-
sition shall be made of the power
generated. The object of the pact is
for the purpose of building dam,
first for flood protection, second for
irrigation and last for power. Be-
fore the government would agree to
take any definite action it has insist
ed that the basin states agree to a
division of the water. 1t is fact
that 90 per cent of the waters of the
Colorado fall in the upper basin, and
these states, by adopting the pact,
have agreed to give the lower basin,
including our own Arizona, so per
cent of the water. Now, honestly,
governor, how much can Arizona de-
mand and be decent? In your letter
to me, governor, you seem to he anx-
ious to discuss the Boulder canyon
dam site in place Of the pact. AS |
have said before, there is nothing in
the pact regarding where the dam
should be built. When the pact is
passed, competent engineers will be
sent out and a careful investigation
made and | have faith that the gov
eminent can be trusted to select the
best available place. | know, as you
do, that there are numerous dam
sites, including Boulder canyon, Black
canyon, Marble canyon, Glen canyon,
Spencer canyon, Diamond creek and
others, but this has nothing to do with
the pact.
When the pact was up before the
legislature, the opponents of the
same were constantly attempting to
throw up a smoke screen and sought
to drag in the location of the dam.
None of these knew anything of the
merits of the different places any
more than you do, but they were taxi
ing their orders from Maxwell and
others and seeking, by any means pos
slble, to defeat the pact. Neither my
self nor any member in favor of the
pact ever advocated on the floor of |
the house any special dam, nor have
ever specially indorsed Boulder can
yon dam, either in the house or out
side of it. We might as we'll discuss
