HYDRO-ELECTRIC
POWER AND SEMI
ARID SOUTHWEST

California now has approximate
ly million more population than
accorded it by the annual estimate
for 1925 by the United States Cen
sus Bureau, was the statement
made by Mr.. r. H. Ballard, execu-
tive vice-president and general
manager of the Southern Califor- !
MIA Edison company in addressing
the annual convention of the Cali
fornia Real Estate association in
Fresno, California, Wednesday. The
subject of his address, which had
for it's basis careful study of
populations, manufacture and pro-
duction, was the relation of hydro
electric development to real estate
in semi-arid America. His estimate
shows that the population of Cali
fornia has increased fifty-three per
cent since the federal census of
1920, or greatly in excess of the
increase which previous estimates
have forecast. Stating that his
figures were based upon the fall
enrolment in the public schools,
cross checked by the new meter
connections of the electric power
companies which serve California,
he projected his calculations to
show that the commercially prac-
tical water power of California
plus one-half of the water power
of the Colorado river, with ade-
quate steam standby would be suf-
ficient to SUPPLY electric require
ments of a population of thirty mil
lion people.
Arizona, Nevada and California
are a unit in our problem. Geo
graphical lines and state lines have
been drawn by the hand of man.
The lines which distinguish the
boundaries of semi-arid America
from that portion of our nation in
which production depends upon
natural and constant rainfall, were
drawn by the Creator" said Mr.
Ballard who then proceeded to
substantiate his argument that in
creases in population and commun-
ity wealth were largely dependent
upon electrical development He

which over 100000 is electric"

a vigorous appeal for developin.

velopment possibility of California,
Mr.. Ballard said: In all of our
considerations of this great prob
lem we must recognize that the
upper Colorado basin states, Colo
rado, Utah, Wyoming and New Mex
leo, also have an undisputable right
to fair division of the waters of
this great stream. We must also
remember that every development
in this territory will materially
contribute to our industry and to
the commerce of our ports, because
San Francisco, Los Angeles, and
San Diego are as much gateways
to the Orient for Colorado, Utah,
Wyoming and New Mexico as for
the states Of California, Arizona
and Nevada. There must be NUT
ual giving and taking if we are to
have real cooperation"
Mr.. Ballard's address was very
largely made up of new statistical
data concerning the increases in
agricultural products and manu-
featuring output during the past
five years, which he attributed very
largely to the application of cleo
trio power. The following excerpts
which he terms "the testimony of
results" are illustrative.
Intensiication of production was
shown by the fact that the aver
age size of the California farms
had decreased from 100 acres to
81 acres. In five years the number
of farms in California had increas-
ed from 1850 to 145, ,000 In 1920
the rural population of this state
including towns having less than
$500 population was 1,095,132. In
1925 it had increased to 1,350,000

MEXICO AT LAST
EARNING PLACE
AMONG NATIONS

The building of modern nation
on the foundation of those simple
human rights of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness-this is
the meaning of the recent turbul-
ent events in Americas Ireland, :"
the republic of Mexico.
After Is years of civil war; after
80 years of looting slavery, pesti-
lence and flood, the Mexican peo-
pie today are raising their heads
for the first time to demand the
right of self-determination and rec
ognition from the world as free
citizens.
To back up these demands Wig
Orous house cleaning is on.
The new program of President
Plutarco Elias Gales government
means more than simple recon-
struction. This government pro-
poses to fulfill as nearly as pos
sible the letter of the 1917 Quere-
taro constitution, a document as
sacred to Mexico's millions of poems
as our own constitution is to our
people, and one writing into Mexi-
can law the social achievements of
the more liberal states of the Uni
ted States, such as Wisconsin and
California.
Enemies Powerful
The government may fail like
Madero's but it is not likely that
it will betray the people as did
Huerta and his white guards or
Carranza and his army carpet-bag-
gers.
But it is task as staggering as
any in the world today.
The Gales government is popular
at home and in the United. States,
but its enemies are crafty and pow
erful. 1t must steer a course be-
tween menacing crags.
The fighting Yaquis of Sonora,
: the reds" of Vera Cruz and Tam
plco, the direct-actionist agrarians
of Morelos and the .unabsorbed
Mayan civilization of Yucatan--
these must be concilliated as well
as foreign goldseekers.
The army, always predatory and
venal, is another source of danger.
: 1t is said that Gales recent econo-

erals has made hine less popular
with the army than with the civil

How wisely Gales and his young
statesmen have steered this treach-
erous course is known to the body

if not to Washington diplomatic
circles.
Even the American colony, with
the exception of the jingoes who
would like to see the Stars and
Stripes carried across the border
and down to the isthmus, wishes
Gales well.
They know it is Gales or chaos,
and that in the face of big odds he
is doing his best
In spite of endless reports that
a counter revolution turks on every
hand, Mexico is peaceful, solvent
and growing stable.
