JOHNSON PRAISES
BOULDERDA
TO CALF. SOLONS
Senator Tells Legislature
Opposition Comes From
Power Trust

SACRAMENTO, Calf, April (R.-
At the scene of many of his earlier po-
litical triumphs, United States Senator
Hiram w. Johnson today laid before
the California legislature assembled in
joint session details of the part this
state is expected to play in the fight
for passage of the Swing-Johnson bill
authorizing the Boulder dam at the
next session of congress. Senator
Johnson declared that the Boulder can
yon dam fight ahead will be one OF
the greatest fights of congress, follow
ing a declaration "b ythe hydro-electric
power trust to your government that
it will not have the right to build a
power generating plant on the Colo
rado river.
"This Boulder dam project is the
most colossal undertaking of all time
as it provides for the largest dam in
the world" Senator Johnson said.
''rhe Swing johnson bill is the con-
centrated essence of engineering skill
and investigation extending over more
than 40 years.
1.-The bill provides for flood control
for irrigation and reclamation, for
solving an intolerable international
situation. 1t is permissive clause in
the bill placed there by the secretary
of the interior and by the administra-
tion that the United States government
shall or may have the right to build a
generating plant for power at the dam
Real opposition to the bill comes
from this source. 1t comes from those
who say that they cannot permit the
principle to be established that the
United States government may have
the right to construct a plant for the
development of hydro electric power
'"The hydro electric trust says tc
your government that it will not have
the right to build a power generating
plant.
This is challenge which has come
ard has to be met We will go for
ward and justify the power and righ
of the United States government to dc
as it pleases without challenge by thu
power trust or any influence in thu
world"
THE real fighting will come rex
December in congress. I have heart
that this bill is to be amended t.

'"rhe only way you can play bal

l3l TURN In QUALIFYING SCORES
IN SOUTHWESTERN GOLF TOURNEY
HELD AT PHOENIX COUNTRY CLUB

PHOENIX, April 7 (P).-With an
other half day to go, during which it
is expected that at least so golfers will
qualify in the southwestern golf tour
nament, all previous records for tour
nament play in the southwest are al
ready shattered by the 131 players
who turned in qualifying scores at
Phoenix Country club today.
The course at the Phoenix Country
club was so crowded by the great field
of players that the scores were far
below what might be expected.
Every one of the A active members
of the Southwestern Golf association
will be represented by players before
the qualifying round is completed to-
morrow morning. All three states in
the Southwestern Golf association, Ari-
zona, New Mexico and Texas, were lib
orally represented among the entries
today.
The medalist today, and it is prob
able that his score will stand through
tomorrow mornings play, was r. w.
Conner, of Milburn, Wis, a winter
member of the Phoenix Golf club.
Conner turned in 72, four strokes un-
der e. V. Burr, of Albuquerque, who
had rs. DR. James Vance, of El Paso,
president of the Southwestern Golf
association estimated that there would
be an entry list of 175 players by the
time the first round play for the cham
pionship flight opens at 1880 p. m.
tomorrow This will exceed by SO
11t oil
in Arizona before.
The 10 low scorers today who turned
in scores of SO or better all have a
chance of making the championship
flight, but with such golfers as Tom
Dunbar, Jr of Phoenix; Charles Nc
Arthur of Phoenix; James Vance, of
El Paso, and Hi Corbett, of Tucson
still to qualify, it is probable that a
score of at least so will be necessary
to get into the select group

BISMARCK Community CHEST DRIVE
OPENS TOMORROW QUOTA IS $l4,659

Of $1,000, has likewise successfully
staged a drive for $4,000 or Sc
per capita.
Bismarck, with a population Of
10000 is asking its citizens for
slightly less than $4,000 or $3.50
for every person.
Asks Less Per Capita
Our Community Chest asks for
less money per capita than any
other city with a Community Chest
in the state for the simple reason
that our operating costs are negli.
giblc. less than $50 having beer
expended in financing the frs,
campaign" H. P. Goddard, secre-
tary of the Chest, said today.
MANY business and professional
men and women are giving both
their time and money to the Com
munity Chest because they believe
that it is the most efficient and
thorough system Of handling char.
ity organizations and because il
means that one solicitation is bet
ter than the annoyance of a dozen
solicitations" H. J. Duemeland,
chairman of the campaign commit
tee, remarked.
THE Community Chest guaran-
tees the thorough investigation Of
the needs Of each group, it elimin.
ates discrimination in favor of one
welfare organization over another,
it has weeded out spurious charities
and has proved the mot economical
method, both financially and insofar
as time is concerned, of any plan
that has been suggested" Judge A.
NJ. Christianson stated today.
In the local theatres tonight pre-.
ceding. each show, four-minute
talks about the Community Chest

why" asked one Bismarck citi-
zen today, was the appeal last
spring for $1,000 while now almost
$4,000 is sought?"
When the Community Chest
staged its first drive last spring,
it asked for $1,000 for the main
tenance Of seven welfare groups tor
six months.
These groups were the Salvation
Army, Boy Scouts. Juvenile band,
Campfire Girls, Society for the
Friendless, Boys Welfare and the
Community Fund.

cations have been added--W omen's
Community Council, North Dakota
