HAYDEN TAKES SLAM
AT BOULDER DAM BILL


Assistant Secretary Winston ex-
planned the treasury departments fl
nancing plan for Boulder canyon prof.
ect before the house irrigation COM
mittee. The plan calls for creation
of Boulder canyon fund to which
money would be advanced by the
treasury as needed.
The treasury's plan, Secretary Win
ston said, represents radical depar-
ture being the collection of interest
on the construction cost. He described
the plan as one to simply bookkeep-
ing in financing, as it would require
under any circumstances congress
sionaI appropriations from time to
time of $t25, 200, 900.
This brought the. statement from
Representative Hayden, democrat,
Arizona, that since the treasury had
disappreved the plan of Secretary
Work for financing it, the new pro-
vision was simply cushion on which
proponents of the project might
light
Stripped of its unnecessary ver-
biage, Mr. Hayden said, the treasury
plan was nothing more than one to
spend the taxpayers money on this
project.
That's the only way we can build
it." Winston replied.

ARIZONA LEGION BEAT
MARK SET in DRIVE

With 2946 paid up members for
1926, the department of Arizona of
The American Legion has exceeded
by II members the goal set by Ma
tional Commander John r. McQuigg,
according to information released
by Department Adjutant D. D. Doug
las.
Arizona is the third state in the
union to exceed its quota, Florida
and Wyoming being the only other
states to reach the mark set by the
national commander Arizona also
enjoys the distinction of being fifth
among the eleven states to exceed
their 1925 membership.
The 1926 membership of the Ari-
zona department was but 2189 and the
new total Of 2946 is 757 new members
thus far this year.
The department of Arizona is in
better condition today than ever be-
fore in the history of the Legion, ac-
cording to those directing the affairs
of the Legion in Arizona, and many
of the state officers are predicting
that the goal Of 5000 members for
1926, set by State Commander
Dougherty, will be reached before The
close of this year..
Chairman w. G. "Rosey" Rosen-
baum OF the department membership
committee has adopted the old war
time slogan "Up an at 'em, Gang;
Let's CO. which has spurred the men-
hership onward with such an impetus
that many Legion officials are confi-
dent Arizona will be in the lead
among the departments of The Ameri-
can Legion, in point of percentage OF
possible membership.

FRIENDS OF MURDERED MAN
LYNCH INDIAN MURDERER


Swift justice was meted out to the
Navajo Indian who killed j. NJ (Pol-
ly) Kimmel, government cattle in
spector, the body of the Indian being
found Monday afternoon hanging to a
tree about eight miles from the scene
of the murder
The finding of the body upset the
theory of Superintendent Stacher Of
the Crown Point agency, advanced
earlier Monday, that the Indian San
tiago Platero--had been taken from
officers by a friendly posse of moon
sinners. 1t now appears that the
posse was composed of friends of
kimmel who strung up the Indian
within a few hours of his seizure
Sunday. midnight as he was being
taken into the Crown Point agency.

From all indications Mrs. Helbig had
placed the gun barrel in her mouth
and pulled the trigger. A heavy loss
of blood probably was the direct
cause of her death as the bullet did
not penetrate the brain

Washington, D. C.-The discovery

been published on this subject" says
the shipping magazine. Leaving
aside the fact that American ships
for foreign trade need not be built in
American yards, and considering the
matter of crew wages alone, the diff
ference in wages in the course of a
year between a fully-manned Amer
lean ship and the cheapest run tank
er under any flag, distributed over
the price of the cargoes carried,
would not make difference of one
cent barrel to the buyer, and on the
high grades of oil the added cost
would be less"

It is more than likely that the newly
organized Norwegian Anti Saloon League
will meet a very hard fight this year, as
it is expected that the Norwegian Par
lament, now in session, will decide
plebiscite regarding the keeping or aboli-
ton of the present prohibition law The
preparations for this fight are already in
full swing and the enemies of prohibi-
ton have opened their campaign bureau
at Oslo. Everything indicates very
lively fight.
At meeting of the league, held jan
uary %, it was decided to start the issue
OF campaign paper, semi-monthly or
monthly, as the finances might permit
The paper should be published in at least
10000 copies and should go especially to
the Christian church people of the coun-
try, in order to prepare them for the COM
ing plebiscite on prohibition

SUBJECT TO REVIEW
Judge Thatcher Rules Refusal by Prohibi-

Subject to Review by u. S. Court

Federal Judge Thomas D. Thatcher, of
New York City, handed down decision,
March 3, in which he held that the re-
fusal by prohibition enforcement authori-
ties to issue or renew alcohol withdrawal
permits to legitimate business enterprises
was renewable by the United States
courts of equity. The decision was con-
sidered most important and in sense an
offset to a recent opinion by Federal
Judge Hand, of New York, in which he
upheld Prohibition Administrator John A.
Foster in the 1atter's refusal to renew
such a permit for the owner of a de-
maturing plant in the Bronx

For more than a year preparations
have been under way in Norway to
gather the Christian people of the coun-
Try into solid front against the drink
evil. The Norwegian halfway prohibi-
ton is far from being satisfactory, and
what is of the greatest importance in
he temperance overwhelmingly the
uilding of a sure foundation for it in the
ublic mind-has not been done. Prohi-
,ition has mainly been sustained by force
rom some of the political parties.
During the later years many promi-
ient Christians have not felt at home in
his political company and the fight of
he most radical parties against Chris
;ianity at the same time as they were
lighting for prohibition has made the CO.
operation more and more difficult.

BABSON CREDITS PROHIBITION
Says Increased Wages Not Respon-
sible for Increased Purchasing
Power-Due to Prohibition


Cleveland Plain Dealer of February IL,
declares that both friends and enemies of
prohibition must agree that the increased
purchasing power of the masses which
has been so general since the war is
largely due to prohibition. Increased
wages" continues Mr.. Babson, "are not
responsible for this increased purchasing
power because higher wages mean higher
prices and do not materially affect the
volume of goods purchased. When, how
ever, man takes money formerly thrown
away on harmful drink and uses it for
buying home, an automobile or any
other merchandise. he is greatly aiding all
legitimate industry.
This means that at least billion dol
lars formerly spent in saloons each year,
and from which only the brewers bene-
fitted, have gone into new buildings, auto
mobiles and the hundreds of other lines
which have expanded SO rapidly since
prohibition went into effect.
"If whisky and beer did no harm they
might be classed by economists with
other luxuries, such as fur coats and radio
sets. An impartial examination of the
situation, however, shows there is great
dilference-economica as we'll as NOR
ally-betWeen luxury, like a radio set,
that does no real harm, and luxury, like
beer, which has ruined SO many.
"Intemperance has not only raised
havoc with millions of individuals but
every manufacturer knows what it has
cost general industry. Although drink
ing may have increased among students
and the woud-be smart set, it has ceased
TO be harmful factor fr
turing and business world
"The saloon has given way to the chain
grocery store. Prohibition has not only
increased purchasing power, but it has re-
duced manufacturing and distributing
costs, from which everyone is greatly
benefting today.
Even enemies Of law enforcement adj
nit that prohibition was perhaps the
greatest factor in causing the great up
ward movement in the normal business
line as indicated by the business charts
They claim, however, that it was simply
a stimulant or something which could be
used only once and that prohibition has
no cumulative effects. I am sure that
statistics would show such conclusions
to be absolutely wrong. The effect of
prohibition on stimulating business is as
great today as ever and, furthermore, is
cumulative in its effects. l say this be-
cause large proportion Of the money
heretofore expended for drink is not now
going into things which can be c1assed as
luxuries but rather into homes, life in
surance, savings, bank accounts and other
forms of investment. Such money is pro-
ductive and is doubling every twelve to
fifteen years. There is probably no one
factor which would more quickly bring
about a business panic and a period of
unemployment as notification by 1egis-
lation of prohibition and return to the
saloon with its accompanying poverty
and disease.
