to strong influence in his own state.
The senator said today that he knew
that many people in his state at the
time did not fully understand the stu
alton, but because he had made much
study of the problem and could see no
reason for holding up the building of
the Coolidge dam to safeguard Col
orados interests in the Colorado river
and therefore felt no compunction in
voting with the senators from Arizona
II could see no reason why the upper
basin states should hold a club over
the San Carlos project in order to get
justice in the Colorado controversy"
he remarked.
mo citizen of Arizona is more gem
orally, widely and favorab1y known
than is the Honorable Ralph H. Cam
eron, and no member of the United
States senate is more popular in that
body than he" said Senator Phipps.
Senator Cameron's arrignments to
places on the important committees on
appropriations, Indian affairs, irriga-
ton and reclamation, public lands and
surveys and the republican committee
on committees speaks volumes for the

high estimate on his ability formed by
his colleagues" the senator continued.
"He was very efficient in helping to
prepare the tariff bill in 1922, aiding
in securing the schedules which, for
the first time in the history of Amer
lean tariff legislation, extended real
recognition and protection to agricul-
ture, including livestock, and to the
mining industry of our western coun-
try. His wonderful fight on the floor
of the senate convinced a majority of
that body that there should be duty
on long staple cotton, but the house
refused to adopt the plan," he said.
"As a member Of the committee on
appropriations he has assisted in pass
ing all of the numerous bills that have
affected the farmers and is working
for further governmental aid through
cooperative marketing. His work on
public lands and surveys has also been
of great Importance and to him alone
is due the credit forNwaiving of grais-
ing feed by the government, when he
proved conc1usively that the grazing
industry had suffered from drought on
the public lands.
"In close touch with the policies and
plans of the administration at all times,
he has frequently been called in con-
sultation by President COOLIDGE their
last meeting having occurred at the
Presidents summer camp at White
Pines"
At this point Senator Phipps said,
"There is no doubt that Senator Cam
eron will be given places of greater
Importance upon his return to the SEN
ate, and it is certain that he will be
made chairman of several"
At this point in his interview with
newspaper men, Senator Phipps called
attention to the fact that since 1921
the government, through enactment OF
republican policies into legislation, has
extended $2,357, 100000 in credits to ag-
ricultural interests and has just now
concluded arrangements to lend $780,
OOO, 900 additional to aid cotton growers
in the cooperative marketing of their
crops. Senator Phipps here said, LET
me quote further from the annual re-
port made to the American Farm Bu-
reau association for the year 1928 by
it's legislative agent, Mr.. Gray Silver,
an outstanding democrat. He said, 1t
is not too much to say that the 26 laws
passed by the 9th congress are of
more Importance to American agricul-
ture than all the legislation relating
to agriculture passed since the adop-
ton of the Constitution
Senator Phipps will leave Phoenix
for Los Angeles, where he will visit
relatives.

LEGION CONVENTION
ASKS THAT VOTERS
EXERCISE FRANCHISE

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 12.-(AP)-A
plea to the millions of voters in the
United States to exercise their right
of franchise at elections was the
dominant note struck at the opening
session of the eighth annual American
Legion national convention Monday.
"The duties of peace are as vital as
those of war;" said President Coolidge
in a message of greeting to the legion
Aries "In sense they are more so,
he added, "shirkers in peace time are
to be condemned as severely as slack
ers during the war"
1--WE cannot retain our liberties under
our representative form of government
if we do not keep II representative" "
he said.
TOO much stress cannot be laid on
the necessity of getting out the vite.' "
Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania
won a storm of applause when in well
coming the delegates, he urged not
only full vote at elections, but clean
elections.
Wilder Matcalf, of Lawrence, Kan
sas, chairman of the. Legion's national
finance committee, responding to the
welcoming speeches said I'VE OBJ
serve with alarm that less than so per
cent of our eligible voters take part
in our elections. The American Legion
insists that every real American shall
have a sense of individual RESPONSE
bility to community, state and nation"
The 1000 delegates and alternates
cheered National Commander John R.
McOuige when he announced in his
annual report that the American Legion
now had 673,299 members, gain of
1854 for the year.
General Frank 7. Hines, director OF
the United States veterans bureau, told
the delegates that the government had
disbursed more than $3,56O,00O,OOO for
the care of disabled veterans of the
World war since thes armistice.

Prospective Production
OF Crops Show Small
Change During Month

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12-(AP)-Pro-
spcctive crop production showed very
little change during the past month,
according to the October crop forecast
today. by the agriculture department.
Corn lost about 18,0O0,OOO bushels in
prospective production during Septem-
ber with the crop now indicated at
2,679,9SS, 10000 bushels. This is 8 per
cent smaller than last years crop.
Damage from frost and losses to yield
from excessively wet weater in the
central states were largely offset by
favorable weather during the first
three weeks of September, and also
by lateness of frost in eastern states.
Quality of the crop, however, has suf-
fered from the wet weather.
Spring wheat improved slightly and
a crop of 213, ,336,OO0 bushels is indi-
Gated. With winter wheat crop of
36,482,O0O bushels already harvested,
the total wheat crop now is placed at
,S39, ,818, 900 bushels, as compared with
666,0OO,O0O bushels last year. Wheat
production this year will exceed the
five-year average by SS,OOO,0OO bushels.
Tobacco prospects were reduced
12,5OO,OOO pounds during September,
total production now being indicated
at 1,2S9, 900 pounds, SO,O0O,OOO below
last year. The white potato crop is
larger than last year, but below the
five-year average. Total apple produc-
tions is the largest in a dozen years.
The Florida hurricane damaged the
citrus fruit crop of that state to the
extent of approximately 100000 boxes
of oranges and 100000 boxes of
grapefruit. Production now indicated
is 9,OOO 900 boxes of oranges and
5000, 600 of grape fruit.

damaging blow.
This blow never landed, and Flowers,
flashing out continually, gained the yer.
dict for agressivenesS and a Willingness
to fight throughout. Many critics ar
gued that the decision should have been
a draw, so close were lines drawn; that .
championship should not change hands
unless the challenger shows an all around
superiority. But the New York State
Athlete Commission has ruled that
fights shall be decided by hunter of
rounds won. and under this ruling the
decision last night was made.
Victory BY Slight Margin.
Flowers, il the opinion of newspaper
men, had at least six Of the rounds, while
Greb could muster no more than five,
anu four were even, say reports TO the
Associated Press.
Red Mason, manager of the former
champion. said after the contest that if
Flowers had won then he was victor by
the n%arrowest of margins. Flowers's
manager, Walk Miller, said hat his tox-
err would have shown to better advantage
had not Greb locked arms about his OBJ
ponent from the ninth round to the end.

Flowers probably has suffered nore
