THIS RECALL NOFENENT

The recent recall movement directed against
Judge M. W. Conkling and District Attorney Utley
bids fair to tear the valley to shreds and nufy much
of the good that has already been accomplished toward
Boulder Dam legislation 1t is proving to be by far the
most bitter wrangle that has up long series
of battles between the proponents and opponents of
the dam and All-American canal.
The Press regards the launching of the recall
movement at this particular time i'll advised to say
the least for were never nearer the attainment of
goal than we are now, provided some Sembance of
unity in the valley ranks be maintained The ques
tion has assumed such large proportions and become
such master issue that Congress must take sort
OF action next SeSSlon-lt longer sideStep
issue all important to the southwest. Right
when the legislation has roster chance than ever be-
FORE choose to become torn with such strife the
valley has witnessed before in all its of
stirling years Just what effect this all going to
have on our Congressional visitors who due in the
valley in the future to look the situation first
hand is problematical
The sensible thing to do is to drop this recall
movement before it has gone further. Whether the
irrigation directors perceive it or not the fact re-
mains that this recall agitation is turning of the
staunchest adherents the Swing-J ohnson bill has had
in the valley into enemies. 1nnumerable who have
believed in and boosted for Swing ohnson legislation
resent deeply this to unseat two county officials
simply on the basis OF. .prejud Because
voted to put Congressman Swing into office
that he might help to bring to completion this splendid
piece of legislation does not necessarily that they
are to sponsor movement to oust two county officials
who have been found guilty of no actual crime.
Another thing-the cost of extra election right
now when economy is the watchword is something to
consider seriously. 1t will be another addition to an
already heavy tax burden-and may prove to be the
final straw that breaks the eamePs backsss--r''s

UNCLE WIGGTLY AND THE
WATER lily

Deep down in the black and Shiny
mud OF the pond, where Bully and
Bawlcv No Tail, the frog boys, play
cd tag, grow beautiful water lily
with petals as white as snow. with
:, center of golden yellow and with
Il sweet, spicy perfume like Il gentle
wind blowing over grove of orange
trees.
Now perhaps you think it strange
for beautiful white lily to
grow in black and Shiny mud, but
mean to say that only the roots. of
the flower were in the mud. From
the roots grew up long green stem,
like u rubber pipe and on the upper
end of the stem there spread out,
flat on the surface of the pond, the
big green lily pads, or leaves. And
on part of the stem, between the
green leaves, grew the beautiful
white lily.
But soon after the bud of the lily
formed it began to blossom out in
to a flower, mass of grass and
sticks were blown by the wind across
the pond, like Il raft, and come to
rest on top of the lily bulk. Feel
ing this raft of old sticks on her
head, the lily bulb cried:
''Oh, how can | ever blossom out
into a big flower with this weight
on me! 1 shall be held down and
stuAted. Oh, if l could only get
rid of the sticks and grass!" but,
try as the lily did, she could not
move the stuff and she was kept
from blossoming forth.
One day Uncle Wiggily hoped
past the frog pond. The bunny gen
tleman saw the raft of sticks eli the
lily blossom and, getting irto a
canoe he made from some of the
broad, green leaves, the rabbit PAD

And like the guide in The Covered Wagon I've al

George yielded. He liked to be the center of at

lad fell with bullet in his brain. He died two hours
later. Henry explained, in the Juvenile court:
Il worked hard for that gun. Worked overtime at
the brass works and bought it. Dad didn't know about
it."
Guns-everastng guns! They do almost as much
harm in private hands in peaceful times as in the
hands of fighting armies. They especially dan

Somebody needs to find out
what has already taken place be

"Thc implication is that have
proposed a radio control and that |
have sought to have that job placed
in my hands. Far to the contrary.
/ have both before congressional
committees and in at least a half
dozen public addresses stated that
no one public official should dictate
who is to use the radio wave lengths

an independent commission.
Moreover. for five years | have
reiterated that these wave lengths
are public property. TO be used by
assignment of public authority. This
view has been enforced by the de-
Partment of commerce for the past
