10000 Acres Land
Opened Up To Crops
By Building ella Dam

Florence, Ariz, June 23.-(Pl-A
half century old debt owed the Pima
Indians by the United States gov
eminent will be paid with the con-
structfon of the Coolidge dam on the
ella river. about fifty miles east of
here. Government engineers are
ready to. begin construction.
Eighty thousand acres of land Will
be irrigated by the dam which will
be the first so-called "dome-t type" to
be built. Half of this acreage will
be cultivated by the Pima Indians OF
the ella river reservation, whose
once prosperous fields were rendered
unproductive by diversion of water
from the ella by settlers on the up
per stretches of the stream.
The dam itself will create an OPP
portunity for land development such
as attended the building of the
Roosevelt dam in 1912. The Coolidge
dam will rise 220 feet above the bed
of the river and have a total length
across the top of about 1000 feet. 1t
will impound 100000 acre feet of
water.
Engineers claim that at least 150.-
600 acres of land in this district are
susceptible to reclamation. Oranges.
cotton, figs, dates and other semi
tropical crops can be raised. Six
harvests of alfalfa may be obtained
during a single year.

FELLOWSHIP OF YOUTH FOR

II all communities are infected
with the spirit and disposition re-
ported from Concord, Mass, on the
occasion of the meetings of the New
England Fellowship Of Youth tor
Peace, pacif1sm should hasten to
support additional appropriations for
army, navy and police to protect II
from the devotees of Mars. That
would be deplorable.
The Fellowship of Youth had the
best protection the police Of Con-
cord could provide but this did not
prevent bombardment with stink
bombs filed with hydrogen sulphide
intermingled with rotten. eggs. Must
we call In Mars to take charge Of the
defense? We don't know that the
stink bombs may not serve good
purpose, indirectly, but we are
under the impression that 1t would
be salutary IL the youthful throwers
Of the missiles could be taken into

ceive the imprint OF an old fashioned

WARE THE TRENDI

Two and two make four today, and
did in 1875, notwithstanding there
now are different methods for teach
ing arithmetic. In the early days of
the Government there was sharp d.
vision between those who favored a
strong. centralized government ana
those who didn't. Experience has, or
should have taught us that there is
a golden mean between these two
views, though a hard and fast line
may not be fixed suitably to all that
may arise. The principle OF the
golden mean, however. holds true
and We will do we'll not to overlook
that very important fact.
Meanwhile in the nature of things
agitation persists; the trend now
sets In one direction, and again In
another. That too should be watch
ed. Among those who are applying
themselves to this task are the
"Sentinels of the Republic, and the
president of that organization re-
Gently enumerated some of. the rea-
sons for this.
THE transfer OF control Of our
children, of our domestic relations
of husband and wife, of the regula-
ton Of maternity and infancy, of our
entire system Of education, of our
methods of State taxation, of the
control of our public highways and
streets-from the States to WASH
ington; and the creation and con-
tinuance of nationally owned and
operated mercantile fleets, the ma
tional ownership of railroads, super
vision Of and interference with
private business, through Federal
commissions and agencies-these are
examples of the radical changes ad-
yocated by one or the other-some
OF them by both-these dangerous
elements-the one composed of
Socialists and Communists, frankly
hostile to the dual government sys-
tenn Of this country and its strong
emphasis on the preservation OF
local self-government, and the other
element, composed of those desiring
social reforms, oftentimes in them
selves worthy, who chafe at the de-
lay involved in dealing with forty
eight States. Many foreign ennis
saries are busy In promoting it's
objects in this country. Its funds
are supplemented by contributions
from Communistic sources abroad to
carry on the war against our system
Of government"

BEST NOT OVERLOOK THIS

= There appears to be quite gen.
eral disposition to give the devil his
due, but rendering to frail human
beings their due occasionally slack
ems noticeably.
This should not be. It Is very es-
sential to the welfare of all con-
cerned that faults should not be
nagnifled and virtues overlooked.
Just because reports of alleged
graft make attractive newspaper
copy and newspaper readers appear
to yearn for 1t on the front page is
no excuse for the public not yearn-
ing to see the vindication as promis-
cuously set forth.
We are reminded Of this by the
report of the resignation of James
Cameron as director of investigation
and accounts Of the war department.
He has been plodding away on this
job for four years. There were 2OO.-
600 war contracts to look over, in
amounts several billion dollars. He
appears to have been competent and
industrious.
One would think that in the maxi
ing Of all those contracts, in the
cleaning up following the war. there
would be many opportunities for
fraud. We all remember the charges
that were made. Overpayments
were made and about ten million
dollars in overcharges have been re-
covered.
But here Is an important feature;
there has been found no substantial
foundation for charges against the
Government. The peculiarly odious
Forbes came later, also came to such
deserts as the law provides. But in
all the excitement of making and
cleaning up of war contracts, with
all the temptations these afforded
for wrong doing it appears the Gov
eminent kept It's hands noticeably
clean, though these were the hands
Of mortals and mortals be inclined
to err. Being mortals they made
mistakes, perchance exhibited fav-
oritism but swindlers they We're not.
1t is important that we remember
this.

THOSE ANTITRUST LAWS

The antitrust laws have been
receiving little attention in public
speeches recently. and what there
has been was in the nature of
criticism to the effect that they are
imperative.
This Is not the impression which
Assistant Attorney General Donovan
attempted to convey to the New
York bankers at their recent meet
ing. He took occasion to remind
them that natural lines of competi-
ton should be left undisturbed but
that there is a growing tendency to
get together and stabilize prices and
he warned that the Government
may step in and take over the Of
tenders.
How much Of effect this may have
Is conjectural but we assume the
Government by stepping in and TAX
ing over offenders could most eff
fectively warn, assuming it success
full in its efforts. But this would
start something, which might prove
unpleasant all around. Legitimate
enterprise would be likely to suffer
along with those excessively ad-
dicted to stabilizing prices. The
better way for all concerned, OF
course, would be for the offenders to
desist. The bankers are In posi-
ton to lend considerable influence
toward dlscouraging such efforts
Hence Mr.. Donovan's remarks.
These were supplemented by an
other speaker at this meeting. who
told them that by and large the
antitrust laws protect more than
they curtail liberty, that in truth
they have become a real citadel OF
! liberty" We hope all parties con-
cerned take the hint before the mat
| ter gets tangled up in a presidential
campaign to the advantage of none

The Honesty of War Contracts

The Honesty OF War Contracts
On. Y. World)
What ought to be a death blow to
the widely circulated stories of
wholesale graft in connection with
the Governments war contracts is to
be found in the final report of James
Cameron, the retiring Director of
Investigations and Accounts of the
War Department. Mr.. Cameron was
appointed to this position four
years ago at one of the highest
salaries in the civil service. 1t had
been the hope of Congress that his
investigation would bring out some
excellent campaign material. but
that hope has been disappointed. Mr..
Cameron owed his appointment, In
fact, to the failure of the smelling
committees" of 1919-1920 to manu-
facture campaign material against
the Wilson Administration.
When these committees activities
failed to unearth the frauds that the
politicians hoped to find, a hostile
Congress created a special War
Transaction Section of the War De-
partment, and Mr.. Cameron was
placed in charge. His Investigations
have covered some 100000 con-
tracts aggregating billions of dol
lars, and have revealed only a few
cases of deliberate efforts to de-
fraud the Government. 1t is true
that the Government sometimes
made bad bargains because of the
inexperience of it's agents or because
of the need of speedy action during
the rush of the war.
The net result of the prolonged in
vestigation is utterly to refute the
rumors of mismanagement and graft
and to establish the fact that the
World War was administered. with
a greater degree of honesty and ct
ficiency than any other conflict in
which this country has ever engaged.
1t is q tribute to the Wilson Ad-
ministration.
