CHARGES BUREAU
WITH COLLISION !
AND DISHONESTY
Dy United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Collu.
sion, dishonesty and favoritism were
charged against the internal revenue
bureau by Senator Couzens, Michi.
gan, Republican, in demanding adop.
tion of publicity of tax returns in
the senate today.
Couzens, who conducted a senate
committee investigation into the
bureau, declared that the irregulari-
ties of the bureau in administering
the tax law were due to the Sc
crecy which prevails.
After Couzens had been speaking
an hour, Senator La Toilette, Re
publican. Wisconsin, sympathiz-
er with COuzens' plans, made a
quorum call and Couzens took the
opportunity to rest.
Couzens vigorously opposed the
Democrat Republican coalition agree
ment to abolish publicity and de.
manded even more complete public
ity than the present law allows. He
said all rulings, hearings and the
entire conduct of the bureau should
be subject to public inspection.
Senator Shortridge, California,
Rpublican, asked Couzens if he
thought there was fraud in the bu.
reau.
- am sure the senator has not
seen the records of our hearings or
he would know that what they show
ed there is collusion, dishonesty and
ravoritism III the bureau,' Couzens
replied. IF that means fraud,
then there is fraud

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5.-Tor-
rents Of rain along the coast during
The past week, while worth millions
to agricultural interests, are taking
toll in property damage and tied
up traffic, according to reports
from various sections of the state.
Two serious washouts of railroad
beds, along with many minor ones,
have occurred. Rivers have reach

probable occasional rains in the bay
region, Sacramento Valley and
Northern California. There is no
Likelihood of sufficient rain Him,

Insignificant Damage
While the heavy rains have caus-
Cd some loss, reports received today

vised Swing Johnson Boulder dam
ILL embodying changes proposed
by Secretary CT interior Work, en-
countered material opposition when
presented to ths house irrigation
committee today for the first time.
Representative Hayden, Arizona,
Democrat, charged that the new
bill "ignored his state and an
nounced that he ''would fight it to
a finish.
Passage of this BILL Hayden
said, "would establish precedent
for the naturalization Of all rivers
and call for the surrender by
States of the jurisdiction Of waters
within their rights.
Attacks Pact Ruling
Hayden centered most of his op-
position to the new measure on the
provision which would make the
Colorado river compact operative
upon its ratification by six Of the
seven participating states. y
Representative Leather W 0 o d,
Utah, Republican, who led the fight
last session. against the original
Swing,Johnson bill, said the new
measure raised the question of right
by congress to appropriate waters
within the various states. He
said every representative of west
ern state should examine the new
bill thoroughly.
Representative Winter, Wyoming,
Republican. maintained that states
had a right Of jurisdiction over
water within their territories. He
said he would give the new meas
IRE careful study before commit
ting himself on it.
Directors Boosts Bill
Endorsement OF the bill was giy
en- by Director Mead Of the reelanaa-
tion service.
The issuance by the treasury de-
Eartment of 1925 ,000,0 900 for flood
control-irrigation price power dam
at either Black or Boulder can
yons on the Colorado is proposed in
the new bill.
Mead told the committee ~ that
immediate construction of the dam
was necessary to relieve the fleol
menace that hangs over thousands
of acres of lands in the Imperial
Valley and other western irrigation
projects.
In addition to the flood menace,
Mead said this region faced fatal
drought that may come at any time.
IT,. said he favored development OF
the power interests i'll connection
with the dam and voiced the opinion
that this was the only way that
water charges could be kept within
reasonable price to settlers.
