PROJECT MEASURE
House Rules Committee
Chairman Says Boulder
Bill Will Pass At This
Session of Congress

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. Il.
of the Swing-JohnsOn
Boulder dam bill are in high
spirits today, since the announce
ment was made at the White
House by Chairman Smell Of the
house legislative program and
Boulder dam bill is going on the
house Legislative program and
will be passed by the house
this session.
This assurance from the chair
man of the rules committee, ten
days in advance of the meeting
of his committee to consider the
request for a rule for the Boulder
dam bill, is accepted by the bill
advocates as positive assurance
that their measure is to be call
ed up in the house not long
after January 20, when the rules
committee is to meet. They claim
an overwhelming majority for
the bin in house and senate.
The Boulder dam advocates
are still more jubilant because
Chairman Smell made his state
ment after talking with the presi-
dent this morning on the house
legislative program and outlook.
Tomorrow the California dele
cation is to call on the president
in a body and ask him to lend
his aid in getting the Swing
Johnson bill through congress be-
tween now and March 4, and the
fact that Chairman Smell should
publicity declare his purpose to
bring up this bill after having
talked over the whole program
with Mr.. Coolidge is construed
as indicating that the program
of the house leaders meets with
executive approval.
Had the president not been in
accord with the idea of giving
the Boulder dam bill early con.
sideration in the house, it is ar.
gued that Mr. Smell would scarce
ly have made the public an.
nouncement he did.
