COSLING QUITS
JOB; THREE CITY
OFFICES MERGED
Resignation Is Accepted
With Regret; G. w. Pratt
To Take Over Depts.

Expressing the most heartfelt re-
grets, the Douglas city water COM
missioners, Mayor A. E. Hinton anu
the common concil have accepted the
resignation of Walter Gosling as SUI
perintendent of the city water de-
nartment, position which he has
held with honor for the past SIX
years. Following the acceptance Oh
the resignation by the water com
missioners, a reorganization OF the
three city departments was arranged
for. The offices of city treasurer
city clerk and water superintendent
will be merged on March l, and me
entire system will be handled from
the present city water department
offices on Eleventh street. G. W..
Pratt will be in charge of the three
merged departments.
At present, Pratt is city clerk ard
treasurer, and his offices are in the
! city hall. The decision to norge the
departments under one head came as
an economic measure and Mayor
A. E. Hinton said yesterday that the
new system would save the taxpay-
ers approximately $4,000 a year. Dn-
der the merger, the staff of ass(sents
and clerks will be occupied the en-
! tire month in the handling of the
different phases of the city business,
while under the old system the water
department was swamped with work
! part of each month and the city
clerks office was in the same stu
alton through another period
/ Walter Gosling has been resident
! of Arizona for the past 80 years and
for the past is years he has lived
in this city In accepting his resig-
nation, the water commission told
the Dispatch that they were not only
losing a valuable man from the city
service, but that the community is
losing a good citizen. The resigna-
tion is effective March 81 and Cos
ling stated that shortly after that
time it is his intention to move tc
Lcng Beach, Calf, where he has
business interests to which he wants
to devote more time.
The three members of the water
commission, Shelton G. Dowell, A. H
Wimberley and Charles H. Foss, were

COOLIDGE SIGNS
BANKING
MEASURE FRIDAY
Charters Of Federal Re.
serve, Banks Are Ex-
tended Indefinitely

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 Pl-Presi-
dent Coolidge signed the branch
banking bill today at the same time
that he vetoed the McNary -Haugen
farm measure with which it had
been linked in senate consideration
The McFadden-Peppe act becomes
effective Immediately and puts an
end to the long controversy over
branch banking by national banks
by placing them on a parity with
state banks which are permitted by
local laws to engage in branch
banking.
The most important section of the
measure, however. is that extending
indefinitely the charters of the
twelve federal reserve banks. 1T
was because of the Importance of
this section that those in charge of
the bill in the senate invoked the
Gcbate limitation rule for the first
time on purely domestic legislation.
Feeling certain that the president
eventually would veto the farm bill
those having charge of the banking
measure anticipated an assault up
on the federal reserve system in
congress by the agrarians should
there be a delay in continuing the
charters which would have expired in
eight years
Under the branch banking sections
of the bill, national banks located
in states which permit branch bank
ing by statute at this time will be
permitted to maintain branches with
in the limits of the city, town or
county in which the parent institu
tion is situated. A third major
provision of the new law 1egalizes
investment banking by nationaA
banks, thus validating a practice
which has been pursued by these
banks. Limitations are placed, how
ever, on the extent to which such
banking may be carried on.
The branch banking bill was first
introduced in congress five years
ago and after stormy passage in
the house it was completely rewrit-
ten by the senate banking commit
tee and then materially changed i'll
conference.

VACCINATION BAR
Is TAKEN DOWN
AT Aqua PRIETA

The vaccination inspection ruling
of the Mexican government will not
be put into effect at the port of
Douglas. This was finally decided
at a meeting of the Aqua PrIeta
chamber of commerce on Thursday
night at which time members OF this
with the chamber Crossing the
border here will resume its usual
manner. There will be no restric
tions whatsoever on visiting Aqua
Prieta except the routine car in
spection that has always been in
force This announcement was given
to the Dispatch on Friday night by
i. L. Mendoza, manager of the Aqua
Prieta chamber of commerce.
At this meeting a committee was
appointed to work in conjunction
with a committee appointed by the
Aqua Prieta city council to wait
upon the officials of the Arizoni'
Edison company to tender a protest
against a raising of the rate Oh
electricity used in the city south OF
the line. In discussing the matter
at the meeting it was brought out
that Aqua Prieta electricity used al:
ways have paid the same rate as Is
paid in Douglas.
There was feeling expressed at
the meeting that with the steady
and cooperative platform always
enforced by the Aqua Prieta cit1-
zens in their dealings with Douglas
there was an element of unfairness
in the raising Of the rate.

RIVER BILL
TODAY
Senate Will Vote On ClO-

DEFEAT is SEEN
Swing-J Johnson Act OppOn-
ents Say Rule Will Not
Be Invoked.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. P-The
fate at this session of legislation to
harness the Colorado river at Boulder
canyon hangs upon the possibility Of
invoking cloture to smother the sem
ate filibuster.
The vote will come at p. m. to-
morrow on the petition so dramati-
cally presented yesterday by Senator
Johnson, republican, California, who
has conducted determined fight
for the bill to build dam at Boulder
canyons in the face or one of the
most effective obstructive campaigns
the senate has witnessed in dozen
years. .s- = s-i5g. s..fg
While the senate turned to the
consideration of Muscle Shoals legis-
lation and the $125,O0O,000 public
buildings BILL Senator Johnson was
busy rallying his forces and seek
ing reinforcement He was in doubt
as to his ability to muster the two
thirds majority necessary to invoke
the rule limiting each senator to one
hour on the bill and each amend
ment.
Should the move for cloture fail,
the Boulder canyon bill is in grave
danger of displacement by the emer-
gency officers retirement bill, which
leaders now plan to put through un-
der the cloture rule.
The vote to apply debate limitation
on this measure will come immedi-
ately after that on Boulder canyon
cloture if Johnson's motion is re-
jected.
Opponents of Boulder canyon legis-
lation expressed confidence that the
Californian could not get the required
majority for his motion and republic
can leaders were inclined to share
their view, although they did not
make a complete poll of the senate.
In advance of the vote on Boulder
canyon cloture, those in charge of
the filibuster offered a series 70
amendments, some in the nature of
substitutes, while Senator Harrison,
democrat, Mississippi, proposed as a
rider bill for the lease of Muscle
Shoals
The move of the Mississippian was
made after the senate had re-commit-
ted Muscle Shoals legislation to the
agriculture committee, thus effectu-
ally burying it for this session.
Amendments to the Bolder darn
bill, sbmitted by Senator Phipps, re-
publican, Colorado, one of the fill
busterers, would limit the appropra-
tion for the dam to $9O,OOO,OOO, in
stead of $125,OOO,OOO, as proposed in

FARM RELIEF
LEGISLATION
HOPE Is ENDED
President Declares Meas
ure Economic Folly and
OF No Benefit.
SARGENT AGREE
Attorney General Rules Nc
Nary-Haugen Bill Is I'm
constitutional.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. N9 = The
McNary -Haugen farm relief bill, the
proud handiwork of the western
farm block and the southern demo-
Gratis, was consigned to the waste
basket today by presidential veto.
with it died an hope of general
farm legislation at this session of
congress. The senate will vote to-
morrow on the question of overriding
the veto, but the process will be
merely a gesture. No one expects the
bill to muster the two-thirds now
necessary for passage.
What it's supporters do expect is
that the roll call will give notice
to the White House that they have
not surrendered, but are prepared to
accept the issue. A new battle over
a new McNary- -Faugen bill is prom
ised when congress meets again next
December, and political leaders on
both sides are prepared to see the
sontest carried over intb the 1928
campaign.
President Coolidge took his stand
against the bill in unequivocal fash
ion. In a long veto message dissect-
ing the measure, he declred it an
economic folly. To attempt to regu-
late farm surp1uses by levying an
equalization fee on basic farm COM
modities; pronounced the proposal dis
crimnatory because it did not apply
to all farm products; and said IN
plain terms that it was scheme for
price-fixing that would raise the cost
of living and would not benefit the
farmer.
For good measure, he sent along to
the capitol an opinion by Attorney
General Sargent declaring the bill
unconstitutional in it's vital provis-
ions.
AS an alternative to meet an agri-
cultural condition which he conceded
to be unsatisfactory, the president
renewed his recommendation for
passage of other plans proposed in
congress for the recovery Of agri-
culture.
He declared these programs "offer
promise of sound assistance to the
farmers without these unconstitution-
alities, invasions of executive author
ity, this contracting with packers
and flour millers and other manufac-
t'Srers, this over production with its
initiation and, inevitable crash, with
out this indirect price-fixing, buying
and selling, this creation of hugs
hureaucracies," involved in the Nc
Nary-Haugen measure.
While stating that many othel
reasons existed why the measure
ought not to be approved, the presi
dent said the most decisive one wa!
that it was unconstitutional He als'
pointed OF that the bill singled ou

COOLIDGE FEELS
BRITISH WITHIN
RIGHTS TO SOUTH
Movement of Warship Is
Ordinary PrecautiOn,
President Says

WASHINGTON, Feb 25. R)-Presi-
dent Coolidge sees no reason arising
from traditional American policy for
interposing objection to the British
action in sending a cruiser to Mica
ragua for moral effect and protection
of British lives and property in that
country At the White House today
it was said the president understood
that British and Italian nationals as
we'll as Americans had sustained
property losses due to civil war dis
turbances in Nicaraguan cities. No
details of this damage were dis
closed.
The president feels, however, that
in the circumstances the movement of
a British war vessel to Nicaragua is
an ordinary precaution to be taken
by ny government, although unusual
in Latin n-American countries so far
as European powers are concerned.
A sharp distinction was drawn be-
tween the dispatch of a warship be-
act as place Of refuge for foreign
nationals or to evacuate them, if
necessary, and any proposal by an
European power to land naval forces
to enforce debt collections or other
settlements of that character. The
Washington government has always
opposed landing operations in Latin
America of that nature, but has been
advised, it was pointed out that the
British government does not con-
template landing men in Nicaragua.
1t was emphasized that the presi-
dent regarded the extension of
American landing operations in Mica
ragua as a step calculated to save
