Significant admonition was given
congress that the duty for framing
a tax bill was peculiarly its own and
that il should guard against spec
ial interests, too often selfish, al
ways uniformed Of the national
needs as a whole, with hired agents
using their proposed beneficiaries as
engines Of propaganda"
Being a nation which relies upon
its ability to maintain peace By fair
dealing and good will rather than by
force, the president advocated the
maintenance of a moderate army and
navy. He added. however, the need
for considerable naval expansion had
been demonstrated some time ago and
that in rounding out its navy, the
United States would not be moved by
failure of the Geneva armament con-
ference. He said the United States
is ready and willing TO continue the
preparatory investigation on the gen.
eral subject Of limitation Of arma-
ments which have been started under
the auspices Of the League Of Ma
lions.
Everyone knew" Mr.. Coolidge said,
"that had a three power agreement
been reached it would have left US
with the necessity Of continuing our
building program. The failure to
agree should not cause Us to build
either more or less than We other
wise should.
The president declared that sta

NAMED TO be considered so that they

having already authorized the gen

While he favored proposals for

United States should continue to pro-
mote peace by example and "fortify

BROTHER OF MEXICAN LEADER
SLAIN BY GOVERNMENT TROOPS

Gated about IL miles west of
The scene of the encounter.
Several of the victorious
federal officers accompanied
the body and Immediately on
arrival it was placed on public
exhibition in the Nogales Son
Plaza, where it was viewed by
great crowds in which were old
time friends of the dead man
who dispelled further doubt
that it was De la Huerta.
At the time of the battle, the
revolutionary leader had with
him a party of Yaqui Indians.
They were presumably trying
to make their way into the
heart of the Indian country to
induce the fiercefighting va

ROSE DECLARES
ARIZONA ASKS
THE IMPOSSIBLE

"It was just Il ease of six against
one at the Denver conference, j"
Mark Rose, director of the Imperial
Irrigation District said this morning
following his return from the gath
ering at which an effort to form o
seven-state Colorado River compact
was made. California was of
course the one and the demands
made were impossible to meet.
"Arizona is the only state that it
is impossible to deal with and she
needs to be bribed into entering the
compact. The other states are all
willing that this bribe may be given
because the sacrifice must all come
from California. Our state has
placed its lowest figure before the
conference and unless it can be met
an agreement.
Gas far as obtaining levies or
taxes from the Boulder Dam pro iect
is concerned, California is not inter
estcd to any great extent for the
government at Washington will
probably take care of the alloca-
tions in that respect. But Califor-
MIA must have is water supply from
the Colorado and will back its right.
"Perhaps the next meeting which
is scheduled for November Z will
throw a different angle on the en-
tanglement. The upper basin states
are really in sympathy with Califor-
MIA in the fight but are anxious to
see this state accede to Arizona's
demands in order that an agreement
NAV be reached. -
