governed by a representative appoint
ed BY the national fascist government
under the terms Of q new decree
which will be adopted on August 80

Poincare reduces his meals to two
dishes, difficult for the French, who
know how to eat and will not have
dinner without soup and salad or
fruit. Many Frenchmen will make
their dinner Of good soup Bonne

All this is patriotic self-denial. But

Europe than mere economy. After

ia. This has been done at too great

Ia. This has been done at too great
length, with the result that our
brains have become confused with
millions of acre feet, millions of cleo
trical H. p. and hundreds of millions
lof dollars to the exclusion of the
paramount issue, which is the I'M
mediate Development of the river
for Arizona.
It is most unfortunate that the
problem has been turned from an
economic to a political one. We peo-
pie have been fed up on the Colorado
river. We have been led to believe
that the day is not far distant when
the revenue from the Colorado river
would pay Arizona's tax burdens.
We have been told that more than
four million H.. P. could be develop
ed in the State of Arizona at such
low Ell. p. cost without ever once
reckoning that it would cost the
tidy sum Of 100000, 100000 and who
would put up such a sum, and who
could use such an amount of power.
We have been told that three and
one half million acres of our land
can be reclaimed. 1t such were true,
and it isn't; and it could be reclain-
ed at the low cost Of fifty dollars
an acre, which it couldn't; the cost
would be SITS, 100000.
DIR. Newell, former director of the
Reclamation Service states that
there are twenty million acres #
land in the western part of the
United States of America subject
to reclamation and that it will re-
quire two hundred years and two
billions of dollars to do the work.
1t would only cost eight hundred
millions of dollars to develop the
four millions of H. p, but in order
to put to beneficial use the four
millions of H. p, it would require a
capital investment of ten billions of
dollars at the rate of $500 per H.
P. of investment capital. Now, don't
you think that it is high time that
we rebel at these astronomical fig
ures and get down to earth again.
Fortunately for US the physical
conditions surrounding the river are
such that practically full develop
ment of irrigation, power and flood
control may proceed without the one
interfering with the other.
In the first place / am going to
tell you that power developed in the
Colorado river will never be cheap

sion distance.
/ will ask your indulgence for a
brief time to lay down historical
