UNFAIR TO THE SOUTH AND
TO ARIZONA

Is there to be one water power
policy for the South and another
for the Southwest?
That seems to be the latest
proposal of the Coolidge admins
tration.
Itappears that this administra
ton, opposed to government
operation of Muscle Shoals. is
fighting to deliver the govern.
ment built Alabama power pro
ject to q private company under
conditions which will enevitably
prevent any cheap distribution
of power to the public.
Working on q contrary plan,
the administration, through Sec.
retarv Work has recommended
to Congress that the Federal
Government construct and op.
crate q 1925, 900, 600 power pro.
ject at Boulder Canyon on the
Colorado river.
The National Popular Govern.
ment League sums up the ad
ministration's Inconsistencies by
saying that this means three
cent electricity for the Southwest
and ten cent electricity for the
South.
Moreover, the Work proposal
is grossly unfair to Arizona as
through it he would deliver over
to California Arizona's most val
| liable asset without any recon
pence whatever. Work is total
ly disregarding the Federal
water power act which provides
specifically that municipalities
and states shall have the first
claim to water power produced
within their borders.
As Congressman Hayden of
Arizona recently said on the
floors of Congress, members of
Congress from the West have
always contended that the Unit
ed States has no juridiction over
appropriations of water for ir
rigation and power, or other
uses. There is no law in the
Federal statutes asserting such
q right, and Congress has in
many instances declined to in
terfere with the laws of any
state relating to the appropria.
tion, use. for distribution OF wat
er. Two good examples Of an
acknowledgment that the states
alone have control over appro.
priation of water are to be found
in the reclamation act and the
Federal Water. Power act" says

QUALIFICATIONS OF BOND
ELECTORS
AS there may be a doubt in
the mind Of some as to the quail
iications of a voter at a bond
election, James V. Robins, coun
ty attorney. has outlined, in
brief, the law governing in the
case. which is as follows:
To be eligible to vote at
school bond election, q person
must. have paid in his own name
q county or state tax upon prop
erty located in the high school
district, other than poll. road or
school tax. These taxes must
have been paid during the period
of one year Immediately preced.
ing the election, and must be
taxes that became payable dur
ing. and not delinquent before,
said year.
A married person need not
have paid their taxes, but must
have been the owners Of com
munity property during said
year, and as evidence of their
ownership must exhibit to the
election board a tax receipt or
an assessment notice. The com.
munity property owned must be
located in the high school dis
trict. An unmarried person
(single, divorced, widow, widow
er, etc. must have paid his tax
as stated above. e.-Patagonian.

asOnic Club Holds Annual Banquet.
4 The Kitzmiller Masonic Club held
their annual banquet at Eagles Hall
in this town, on Saturday night, Feb
ruary 18th, with the largest and most
enthusiastic gathering in the history
of the club.
Music for the occasion was furn-
ished by the Metropolitan Dance Or
chestra of Frostburg, under the direc-
ton of Miss Maybelle c. Howard,
which marked the first appearance of
this popular organization in the Up
per Potomac region, and to say that
they scored a decided hit is to put it
mildly. Their rendition of the popu-
lar numbers of the day was received
with prolonged applause and they
We're encored again and again. 1t was
the unanimous verdict of the club that
this was the best musical talent to be
heard in the town for years.
The banquet room was tastefully
decorated for the occasion in a color
scheme of blue and scarlet, immor-
telles being the table flowers with
scarlet carnations for buttonaires.
1.-THE following appetizing menu was
served by the home economies class of
the Kitzmiller high school under the
able and efficient management and di-
rection of Miss Knapp, instructor:

Coffee.
At the conclusion of the repast, Mr..
R. L. Wilson, POSTMASTER, after few
Introductory remarks explained that
since the banquet was exclusively a
local affair, that he proposed to dis
pense with the regular "cut and dried"
after-dinner speeches and to call upon
every member present for express
sions BETTING the happy occasion.
This was done with conspicuous
success, especially in the case of w.
/. Kinkead, whose pithy AMI prompt
and pungent remarks occasloned a
great deal of merriment. The various
impromptu speeches ranged from gay
to grave and from the sublime to the
ridiculous, but all were alike received
with applause. At length, when R.
Marsh Dean had very ably summed
up in a humorous and witty manner
the previous addresses, the speaking
was brought to close.
The floor was then cleared for dane
ing, which continued until 11:30, at
which time the strains of Home,
Sweet Home" were heard and an ev-
ening of fun and real pleasure was
brought to a close.
Those present were: Mr.. and Mrs.

This New Way
Quick Relief Thru
Simple Treatment

Thousands who have been unable to
sleep nights due to irritating night
coughing can now obtain practically
instant relief and sleep soundly the
very first night through a simple but
wonderfully effective treatment.
This treatment is based on the pre-
scription known as DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Coughs. You take just
one teaspoonful at bedtime and hold
it in your throat for Is or 20 seconds
before swallowing it. The prescription
has double action. 1t not only soothes
and heals soreness and irritation, but
it quickly removes the phlegm and con-
gestion which are the real cause of night
coughing. So with the throat soothed
and cleared, coughing stops quickly,
you sleep undisturbed, and the entire
cough condition soon disappears.
DR.. Kings New Discovery is for
coughs, chest colds, sore throat, hoarse-
ness, bronchitis, spasmodic Group, etc.
Fine for children as we'll as grown

too, as the dose is only one teaspoon
