DENVER, sept. ga new men
ace threatens the Swing johnson
bill for development of the Colo
RADIO River, as a result of move
ment on foot among western Gov
ernors and other State officials to
unite and demand from the Fed
eral Government REIMBURSEMENT Of
all its rights to western waters.
Oficials of the seven Colorado
River States are gathered to allo-
cate the disputed waters among
themselves so that an agreement
might be reached on the Colorado
River compact.
Two resolutions proposing an en-
tirely new theory of ownership and
ccI troll of waters have been placed
+ ,re the conference. Years of
l ,ation, tying up all development,
probably will result if the western
ers decide to make determined
fight.
The first resolution proposes to
extend the doctrine of State own
ership OF water beyond the recog-
nized right of States to exert police
power over it, and establish also
their right to demand and receive
compensation for use of the waters.
Under this theory, Arizona and
Nevada would demand royalties
from the United States Govern
ment on all power generated, if the
Government should build a power
plant at Boulder Dam. If the Fed
eral Government recognized this
principle, the way would be open
for States to tax numerous public
works.
The second resolution is even
more far-reaching. 1t proposes that
Western States whose water laws
are based on the doctrine Of prior
appropriation unite to fight the
Federal Government in suits now
pending before Federal courts over
ownership of water, and also at
tempt to secure passage of a con-
gressional act extinguishing the ri
parian rights, if any, OF the Govern
nlent In their States.
This would mean loss to the
United States Government OF mil

Says Auto Plates
Are Now Misleading
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Having recently returned from an
auto trip to the Pacific Coast, l have
a suggestion to make regarding the
form of the tags at present used in
the District.
All over the West there was a gen.
eral failure to make out where we
were from by the tag. The abbrevia-
ton dist. Col" is totally unfamiliar
to the people of the United States.
With one accord they thought it
meant Colorado, but on closer inspec-
ton they were puzzled by the "Dist. ="
Several times we overheard discussion
on this point. Its somewhere in
Colorado" we heard several say.
Even as near Washington as south
western Pennsylvania a filling station
man remarked cheerfully, well,
you're long ways from homer'
This confusion may be in part due
to the fact that the slot for the bolt
comes close over the Dist" and the
head of the bolt partly obscures the
letters. If washer is used, as usual,
it still further hinders the reading of
the term.
But the main difficulty is that the
people of the country are not looking
for anything but I'D. c." as an abbre-
Walton for the District. That is uni
versally known and used. 1t is a mis-
take to use anything else.

set at $3.50, 900, with no relation to the
size of the gate"
This will probably be the largest
public entertainment. 1t puts far
into the shade the prize fights of ear
lier times, when fistic encounters were
more or less under the ban of the law
and had to be pulled of" somewhat
surreptitiously with thousand or two
present. The paid employees on duty
in the arena tonight will exceed in
number the spectators at some of the
most famous fights in fistic history of
a few decades ago.
While there is more or less feeling
of distaste for the magnification of
these affairs the crowds continue to
attend in greater and greater num-
bers. No matter how suspicious the
public may become regarding the good
faith of the fighters or the sinister in
fuence Of professional gamblers, dol
lars by the million come pouring forth
from the pockets of the people in sup
port of an enterprise that is now to
be rated as one Of the American in
stitutions. 1t has been estimated that
this fight will cause turnover in gate
receipts. in incidental expenses, in
hotel bills and travel costs of more
than 10000, 900. Certainly as a stimu-
lus to circulation these championship
fights are an important factor in the
economic life of the country.

Sunday Law Edicts
Recalled in Letter

To the Editor of The Star:
Judge f. E. Thompson of the Illinois
Supreme Court stated in a recent
address that the real menace in this
Nation was not the radical Commu.
mist or the anarchist, but the plausible
reformer who seeks to undermine our
Government structure by tearing
down our constitutional safeguards.
Our Constitution plainly states Con.
gress shall pass no law respecting an
establishment Of religion or prohibit
the free exercise thereof. When the
blue Sunday groups, under the lead
ership of Rev. Harry s. Bowlby and
the Lords Day Alliance, come before
Congress demanding a strict Sunday
law, they strike at the chief corner
stone of our Constitution.
Chief Justice Clark of the Supreme
Court of North Carolina states that
not until near the end of the ninth
century was Sunday substituted by
law for Saturday, the seventh day, as
a Sabbath, and then by a decree of
the Emperor Leo. At Carthage in 401
the reformers addressed a petition to
the Emperor praying that the public
shows be transferred from Sunday to
some other day of the week, as II kept
the Christians out of church. Mighty
poor Christians then. / must say, and
/ guess we have some of that kind
still!
They wanted a civil law to force
church attendance. Compulsory Sun
day legislation established q precedent
for other religious measures which
were enacted in due course by the
civil authorities. They soon carried
COMPULSORY religion to its logical CON-
clusion by forcing people to go to
church on Sunday.
Charlemagne in the year 500 made
a civil Sunday law compelling all peo-
pie, whether religious or non-religious,
to attend church on Sunday.
Through Sunday laws the church
united with the state. Are we going
to stand by and permit the pagan re-
formers to put over Sunday law on
us without protest? 1 hope not.

Declares Marriage
Cannot Be Cauged

To the Editor of The Star:
why in the world do you suppose
she married him." What on earth
did he see in her?" are common
enough remarks about married peo-
pie. Naturally. outsiders. not being
'in love with" or loving the man in
question, not viewing the woman
through husbands eye, may so in
terrogate. A woman and man do not
as rule go around explaining why
they married each other and are
happy or contented. Folk would not
understand if they did. The reasons
may be many and complex to them
selves, aside from the motive Of love.
Sometimes a pair utterly dissimilar
and incongruous to the world may be
happily married; sometimes a match
generally proclaimed ideal may drift
into disunion-Geraldine Farrar and
Lou Tellegen, for example; both ro-
mantically handsome, gifted. success.

bandly dignity. These never get the
credit for their good-husbandly quail
ties. Many people wonder why their
wives are their wives. They are chest
nut-bar, porcupine husbands before
people.
Now, the marriage complex is a
very real complex and indispensable
to successful wifehood. A wife must
be able to overlook in her husband
things annoying to herself in any
other man. She must view his frail-
ties through the diminishing end of
the telescope. She knows she is the
only one on earth who will so regard
his bad traits, his eccentricities. So
with the husband to the wife.

say that he liked his face; it was his
He liked it because of "the my-ness
of it." SO it is with marriage. You
may calmly admit to your inner self
that your partner is not ideal, may
dispassionately list his or her faults,
even among your pet detestations, but
take the attitude, This marriage is
mine for making or marring. / hold
it a dear and sacred task because of
