A SELFISH VIEWPOINT

About the trie v1en it became evident that in
ability unwlGngness of state representatives to
work in accord might temporarily defeat the Swing
Johnson Boulder Dam BILL the Press made an appeal
for unity between the warning factions.
To illustrate its viewpoint it quoted Dwight B..
Heard an outstanding figure in Arizona politics. and in
dustrial development publisher of that states largest
newspaper who had told the reclamation and irriga-
tion committee at Washington that the time ripe
for an agreement between California, Nevada and Ar
zona, based on friendly cooperation.
Since reading Mr.. Heard's estlmabe opinion we
have happened upon evidence of irreconclabe animus
in neighbering state, which if indicative of wide
spread opinion there would a bar to anything at
all like friendly cooperation 1t is the foIloWlnS red
ink propaganda printed the letter head Of Game
Warden 6. NJ. Willard Of Arizona:
''If YOU are friend of Arizona YOU are not
friend of the Colorado pact. If you would hold
for the benefit Of Arizona the tremendous wealth
in water and power flowing down the Colorado,
don't toss them into the lap of the water and
power grabbers of other states. From the mon-
ent the pact is approved the Glenn Canyon pow
er project is forever lost TO Arizona
Why water and power grabbers Of other states?
Is it not probable that the intelligent people OF
California, Nevada or other c0mnonwealthS as
free from domination by predatory interests is Ar
zona Is it not reasonable to suppose that Caifornias
millions of American citizens have the equities IN
that great national river have the hundreds of thou
sands of AriZonanS?
With Mr.. Heard we believe that friendly coopera-
ton is the natural to be pursued by the
of the lower BASIN but cannot anything of
fair spirit in the hard and uncharitabe appeal that
tops the game wardens stationery
We sincerely hope and trust that such mental at
tude is not fair index of all the people Of Arizona.
Naturally we would prefer that our nelghborlng
state should be helpful effectng the great project
but in the deplorabe event OF Arizona withholding
operation the work will be done anyhow. The admin
stration has assured of that. The conservation of
water and the control of floods in this region

UNCLE WIGGILY s ROLLER

Once upon a time Uncle Wiggily
happened to hop into part Of
Woodland. near the Orange lee

poor animals lived. None of them
had very nice houses. The little
animal children were in tatters aud
rags. for their fathers had very lit
tie money with which to buy cloth
And as Uncle Wiggily hopprd
through this poor place hr saw two
little rabbit children, boy and a
girl moving about in a queer way.
Watch ma, kiffy," cried the
little girl. Il can skate fine, now. "
"That : right, kuffv, answered
the boy rabbit, But can go

And then those lit,ic ragged bun

FARM RELIEF TALK

Discussion Ends When Plan in Nc
Keown Bill Becomes
Involved.

The House touched upon farm re-
lief for a few minutes. but gave up
when it became involved with the
new plan offered In q bill by Repre-
sentative Mckeown, Democrat, Okla
homa.-
Explaining his relief measure, Mr..
McKeown said it proposed to create
commission which would determine
in advance the needs of the consum-
ing public, and then would allot to the
country's farmers their quotas Of the
various crops to be produced. A
Standardization certificate" he said,
would be issued to each farmer, d.
recting him to grow a fixed quantity.
The farmer then would market his
crop, selling the surplus, II any, out
side the current market and paying
an excise tax on 1t. Members Ques-
toned the constitutionality of the tax,
and also doubted that a farmer could
be forced to agree to raise only the
quantity set for him by the COM
mission.
Mr.. McKeown upheld the constitu-
tionality of his measure and explained
that the farmers patriotism and the
pressure Of neighborhood opinion upon
an objector could be depended upon to
administer much of the acts regula-
tory power.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WORCESTER, Mass, December IL.
Sir Oliver Lodge. the worlds fore
most exponent of psychic principles,
confessed in letter to Prof. Carl
Murchison. directing the Clark Uni
verSity symposium of psychic re-
search, read by DR.. Murchison at the
final session tonight, that he "didn't t
know enough about the subject" to
enter his paper
Sir Oliver, the only one invited to
contribute to the symposium who re-
fused either to lecture or send paper,
wrote briefly to Prof. Murchison that
he considered this symposium "a high.
ly important event." but expressed his
great regret that the fact that he
didn't know enough about psychic re-
search prevented him from contribut-
ing.
The speaker at the session tonight
was Prof. Hans Driesch, professor of
Philosophy at Leipsig and now ex-
change professor at the University
of Wisconsin.
He pleaded spiritualist mediums
should be brought out into the light
on the ground that their perform
ances in light would abolish ridiculous
skepticism.
Prof Driesch also believed every
man would be shown to possess the
powers of mediumship if science only
could find the conditions under which
the potentiality would be brought out.
The speaker paid his respects to Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle, one of the SYM
postum contributors, when he said:
THE word of Sir Conan Doyle must
not be taken seriously when he
speaks as a scientist" He also spoke
his thoughts of the 50-cent seance
seat holder when he said 80 per cent
of the spiritualists were nothing.

WOOD SAYS He VETOED
BILLS FOR LACK OF TIME
Declares Measures Were Given to
Him Only Two Weeks Be-

Nv tha Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
MANILA, December 11.-Explain.
ing why he had vetoed A of the 122
bills passed by the recent Insular Leg
islature, Gov. Gen. Wood today de-
clared he had not been given SUM-
cient time to go over them before the
time limit for his signature to them
had expired.
The governor general is required to
pass upon all bills within 80 days after
adjournment He said the majority of
the bills were not placed in his hands
until two weeks after adjournment.
and that therefore he was compelled
to veto many of them, regardless Of
their merits.
II do not doubt that some of the
measures vetoed might be found sat
isfactory in substance, and these may
eventually be approved at the next
session of the legislature If presented
under conditions enabling me to exam
inc them more carefully" Gov. Gen.
Wood said.
