THE BOULDER CANYON DAM PROPOSAL

James B. Grand, president of the Phoenix
Chapter of Engineers points out in brief the fol-
lowing pertinent facts why the Boulder Canyon
Dam will not be built:
"The primary object of the Boulder Canyon
dam bill is the building of the Boulder Canyon
powAr DAM Thinking people and unprejudiced
engineers hold to the opinion that the Boulder
Canyon power dam will never be built for the fol-
lowing reasons:
/. The necessity of this huge project costing
two hundred million dollars does not exist.
2. Is the reason put forth by Col. William Kel-
ley, former Chief Engineer of the Federal Power
Commission, who said: Storage for regulation
of flow should be located ABOVE the Canyon
Section so that the equated flow can be used
through the greatest practicable head"
3. Excessive depth of bedrock.
4. Objection by Upper Basin States who fear
priorties may be initiated by the building of
such huge reservoir at the foot of the canyon.
5. And not the least-a better site exists at
Glen Canyon which will accomplish everything
as far as the u. S. is concerned that the Boulder
Canyon will accomplish and in addition thereto
would stabilize the flow of the river throughout
the Canyon Section thereby removing the flood
menace when future power dams are built.
6. Inability to cope with floods during the long
period of construction, which Secretary Hoover
estimates to be ten years.

Republicans for relief from machine

1t is quite evident, moreover, that
a greater number of democrats than

lip-service allegiance.

FARM ISOLATION VANISHING

AS long as there have been cities there have
been paved streets, and asphalt which we think
of usually as a modern product, was used in an
cient Babylon by Nabopolassar who was the first
to use it for street construction
His son, Nebuchadnezzar, followed his example
and upon one street of which he was particularly
proud, caused to be placed tablet calling upon
his people to traverse this street in joy and
wish his "eternal age and we-being."
Pompeii built sidewalks of asphalt, and was the
first to raise the center of her asphalt streets in
order to drain off the water.
Modern highways are transforming farm life
in many states, relieving it of its loneliness and
placing it in ready contact with all that is going
on in the world
Good roads present more than merely tourists
tipping along the highway, or trucks moving
from town to town. The finer picture is that of
rural homes linked together, with the men, wom-
en- and children Of the farms brought nearer one
another.
Social life in the farming sections is possible
today, because of the constantly increasing web
Of hard-surfaced roads, and such life Ii becom-
ing the envy Of city folk.
Only few years ago, there was little or no
state highway construction that is now proving
an aid to consolidation of rural schools.

WATCH A MAN ON SUNDAY

Watch man on Sunday morning
and you can see his estimate of real
values. If he is dressed up and on
his way to Sunday school and church,
he thinks well of the things that are
not seen but will last throughout

Editor McWhorter of the Winder
News says: "The above copied from
the Ocilla Star is a pretty good in
dex to a mans character. A man that
fails to attend the worship of God
on the Lords Day, is becoming too
materialistic to get the most out of
life. Material things are not to be
despised. They are necessary for the
progress of the race and the develop
ment of things here on the earth. But
if God is left out of our lives, and
we fail to develop our spiritual ma
lures, progress along material
lines viii be blasted
The spiritual nature must domin-
ate the material world if humanity
would live in peace and secure things
that make for happiness and JOY in
life.
You may not agree with what the
minister says. Your ability to think
and reason about things may be far
greater than his. You may get no.
thing from his sermon. He may be
narrow and provincial. But when
you attend church you show that you
reverence God and that you line
yourself up with the spiritual things
of life. Men have different powers
to grasp spiritual truths, but they
can all meet in the same house and
give themselves to worship, regard

Spiritual power lessons no mans
ability to succeed in business, it ra-
ther enables him to succeed along

his life. 1t enables him to succeed and
at the same time keep sweet and

And it is this balance of power"
group which must determine the re-
suit for Arizona this year. 1t has
been demonstrated that the state
highway department (really a COM
pact political group designed to per-
petuate its beneficiaries and patrons
in office) controls and dominates
the party to which it gives nominal
allegiance, and that that party is
not a self-propelled vehicle. But it
can not control or dictate to the
balance of power group"
That Judge Clark will be able to-
satisfy these exacting voters we
have no doubt There is no reason
to doubt it, from the character Of
his public service in the past or from
his private life
He represents more than a partis-
an attempt to "get into office,"
which would be futile enterprise,
doomed to early reverse, did the
movement backing Judge Clark rep-
resent nothing more. He represents
an attempt to free Arizona of the
political domination of a ruthless ma
chine that has turned public service
into well-paid vassalage to a peren-
nial liegelord.
To the state, Judge Clark repres-
ents an opportunity to go forward
to the great industrial future that
will be energized by the harnessed
waters of the Colorado; to the in
dividual citizen, to the partisan vot-
er, if you please, he represents es-
cape from condition of dependence
which must express its protest in
whispers lest he be blacklisted for

cleus of this movement, is con its
mettle," because it is "on its mer-

ON ITS MERITS
Tucson Citizen.)

In the Forthcoming election Ari-
zonans will have an unconditional
choice between an administration
which must stand on its merits and
an administration sufficiently en-
trenched by reason of an almost un-
broken rule of decade, to defy ac-
countability to merit.
The Republican party and the Re-
publican candidates occupy uni
que position, with respect to account
ability, for the reason that a Repub-
lican office holder is in a very en-
phatic sense kept in office during
good administration. His margin of
election is obtained from an opposi-
ton registration and is composed of
voters of high degree of intelh-
gence, courage and independence who
will support a candidate only SO long
as he ably serves the public.
A Democratic office-holder on the
other hand, may be able to command
a sufficiently constant margin, COM
posed of uncompromising straight
ticket voters, to defeat accountability
or, at least, considerably defer it.
The position of the Republican par
ty in Arizona--as shown by registra-
ton totals-is an ideal one for eff
cient public service, and it is one of
great responsibility. This is realized
by the voters of the party and we
think the record will bear out the
truth of the statement that its cam
didates are usually of a high type.
This is particularly true of Judge
E. S. Clark, the Republican candidate
for governor. The state could be
searched from boundary to boundary
without finding man more ideally
fitted for the high office of gover-
nor. That the people of the state are
aware of this from the character of
the campaign made by the candidate
in the primary election, we have no
doubt.
Judge Clark is the sort of man who
will appeal to the balance of pow
er" voters of Arizona, those voters
who can rise above partisanship and

ALAMEDA ADDS TO HOTEL CHAIN

Alameda, California has broken ground with
elaborate ceremonies for mammoth new
community hotel which was brought about
through the consolidated efforts of the citizens
of Alameda, the Hockenbury system and Senator
Charles B. Hamilton, the same combination that
made the Flagstaff community hotel such an OUT
standing success. The new hotel will become one
of the Hamilton chain of hotels to which the Flag
staff hotel belongs.
The Alameda Times-Star devotes several pages
to showing how enthusiastic the citizens of Ala
media were over the consummation of their eff
forts and devotes columns to pictures of the ho-
tel, breaking ground as we'll as that of the genial
face behind the chain system-Senator Charles
B. Hamilton. Senator Hamilton's brother, James
Hamilton will manage the new Flagstaff hotel
when it is completed January first next.

gan.

THE DoUBLE-EDGE SWORD
(Prescott Courier.l


The Miami Silver Belt, owned by
Cleve Van Dyke, is doing its utmost
to disrupt the Democratic party in
the forthcoming election, hoping that
through the desired debacle Senator
Cameron might benefit. The paper
in every issue last week had some
thing in fulsome praise of the sem
ator and in one number it sought to
detract Carl Hayden, who is Gamer
on's opponent. Van Dyke, himself,
and Leroy Kennedy, the able editor
of the paper, profess to be Demo-
Gratis, but they. cannot claim party
regularity and at the same time
support a Republican candidate for
the most important office to be fill
ed on November 2.
The Miami paper cannot prevent
the election of Hayden, but if it
keeps on it might be able to endan-
ger the success of some other Demo-
cratic nominees who will have strong
opposition.
