FLETCHER TO FIGHT
SHIP BOARD CHANGE
Senator Opposes AboIishinq
Body or Modifying Its
Authority.

Senator Fletcher, Democrat of Flor
ida is opposed to abolishing the Ship
ping Board, as has been proposed by
some Republican Senators. and he
made il plain at the White House yes
terday that he proposed Ia night any
ATTEMPT that may he made in the Capl-
tol this Winter to bring about amy
drastic change in the present shipplne
laws.
Senator Fletcher is not only opposed
to doing away with the Shipping
Board. but he disapproves Of the idea
of relieving il OF it's authority to ad-
minister the affairs of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation. He said that the
President had sent for him to discuss
the Shipping Board problem and pos
sibe legislation to bring about a
change in the functions Of the board,
and he intimated afterward that he
made it very plain TO the Presidem,
that he would consistently vote against
any proposition to change the rela-
tionship now existing between the
Shipping Board and the Emergency
Fleet Corporation.
Urges More Effort.
What is needed" Senator Fletcher
said is not additional legislation, but
a
part of the American Government TO
operate a merchant marine on the
seas of the world in successful man
ner This Government can make Il
success of this task if il will only
make up its mind to do so. 1t has not
taken the matter seriously. AS a re
suit we are losing millions OF dollars
in an Indifferent effort to keep our
flag af1oai. and have made miserable
showing in our competition with for
eign nations. | believe the Govern
ment should start right now To lay its
plans to operate a merchant marine.
The present shipping act is all right.
Some few minor changes might he
made. but the ma jor features are all
right The Shipping Board. although
il has made some mistakes and has
followed scme absurd policies. should
be retained in its present capacity.
and should be given the fullest sup
port of the Government and the Amer
ican people.
IF the regional feature of the pres
ent shipping act is eliminated" Sen.
ator Fletcher continued, iii would
mean the Capitalization of all impor-
tant shipping at one OF two Northern
ports and the subsequent abandon
ment of the ports now in the South
on the Gulf and on the Pacific coast.
Committee 20 Run Fleet
Senator Fletcher believes the board
should delegate some one or a com
mittee to operate the fleet and thai the
President should have some say in the
matter. probably To the extent OF ap
pointing the executive head or head
of the fleet.
At any rate. the President and the
Shipping Board should cooperate ir
directing the successful operation OF
the merchant marine. He believe:
that the Governme could succeed
at this task in a comparatively snort
time. He mentioned five "r six Years
AS a possible period.

NATURAL AND OTHERWISE
By T. T. Maxey
THE ROOSEVELT DAM

In the south-centraI part of Arizona
a large area Of fertile, sandy loan W.
Ing at an altitude of about 1920 feet
above sea level and Well-suited for
the production of grain, cotton, alfalfa.
frult and live stock, was unproductive
because of the simple fact that the
annual rainfall of from seven to nine
inches was entirely too scant to admit
Of crop maturity.
The waters Of the Salt and Verde
rivers carry the drainage from some
12,250 square miles of territory. IF
this water could be properly stored
and carefully spread over this great
unproductive area during the "grow.
Ing" season fabulous crop wealth
would naturally result.
BY the building Of a tremendous
dam a reservoir was forraed which
holds the water which formerly went
to waste. This dam (Rooseveit) is
l,l25 feet long on top and 2sO feet
high in the center, and contains 342.-
80 cubic yards Of building material
The reservoir extends some 20 miles
up stream and holds sufficient water
to cover 1,365,OOO acres one foot deem
To properly and efficiently handle such
a herculean task as the storing and
distribution of such a stupendous vol
ume OF water over such a broad area
1t was necessary to construct and bring
into use sn intricate and far-reaching
system Of spillways, tunnels, hydraulic
gates and something like $50 miles Of
canals.
Some idea Of the success Of this
project can be glimpscd from the crop
report for the year 1920 The irrigated
area had been divided into 200 farms
which boosted a population Of 81 COO
and contained eight towns which baa
forty-one schools and forty-1ye ebnreb-
es and housed 32,199 persons. These
4,2c0 farms yielded the following
crops, in bushels: barley. 17s 500.
corn, e6,9S5; oats, 1880; wheat o..
go; sorghum grain, 22.3SS: beans
l'49O; potatoes, 11.T00; 1851 900
lbs Of fruits; Is, 49,, 900 lbs. Of cot
ton, lOo,s8e tons Of alfalfa hay and
4z,foo tons Of eotton seed. The farms
On this project also contained s1s7
sheep; s.e02 hogs; 954,s72 chickens
turkeys, geese, etc. and 1850 hives
of bees.
