WASHINGTON. MAY 14.-With Il
majority in both houses, the Rcpub-
lican party "can put Boulder dam

sentative Garrett, Tennessee, minor

He denied reports that house Demo

Colorado river irrigation and power
projects.
the part of the Democratic organ
iz;tion of the house. Garrett said,
''to block consideration of the
Swing johnson bill, but conflicts of
opinion. not partisan i'll character,
have brought an apparent impasse.
- 1t is not amiss to say that such
control and the development of the
resources of the Colorado river
would doubtless have better chance
of promotion if the states directly
interested could reach an agreement
among themselves.
Accuses republicans
1.-THE tenor of kilograms receiv
ed by me from friends and party as
sociates ON the coast indicate that
Republican influences have succeed
ed in selling to the people of the
west the idea that the Boulder dam
bin is being blocked by Democrats. ;
THE people of the coast, upon re-
Election, will realize that the Re-
publication ptrtv is i'll complete
contrsl of the organization of both
house and senate. The great ma
ioritv of the people of the coast vot-
cd IN the last election to make this
condition possible. They ought to
realize that any time the majority
partv's organization in the senate
and house chooses to put Boulder
dam over they can do it provided
their rank and file stand up.
Not Partisan Matter
"The whole truth is Republican
propaganda to the contrary not
withstanding) that the Boulder dam
matter has not been made in any
manner whatsoever a party question,
nor has there been any effort to
treat it as such.
Garrett pointed out that two Re
publican members from Utah were
opposing the bill for the same rea-
son that Representative Haden,
Democrat, Arizona, is fighting it,
because they believe that "the
rights and material interest of their
state will not only be violated but

MEXICO OIL LAW
TEST NEARS
nv Tnternat,onal News Service

+ *
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 81. - The
new land and oil regulations become
effective at midnight tonight, and
despite the strong protests Of the
United States 1t appears that Presi-
dent Gales intends to enforce these
laws.
since American and British oil con-
Germs have refused to fife new ap-
plications for concessions, the oil
properties will in theory return to
the government. Mexico, however.
is not likely to take precipitate
action In taking physical control or
these properties and 1t is not ex-
pected that there will be any action
approaching confiscation.
On the contrary the government
is apt to let matters slide for the
time being and await possible court
action. Whether the new laws are
enforced in theory or in praGtice
they cannot but make the present
strained relations between Mexico
and the United States more com.
pick.
The economic side OF the situation
is vital to Mexico. The Mexican
government secures a considerable
portion OF its revenues from royal
ties from oil properties. If these
properties cease to operate the
Mexican treasury will feel an Inn
mediate pinch.
