Utah Senate Rescinds
Colorado Pact

which will permit the diversion and
use of all the unappropriated waters
of the river in those states. The
only recourse the upper states will
have against Arizona and =~evada is
that outlined in the Colorado Wyo-
ming case. They will, however, have
recourse against ;California under
the Kansas Colorado case, because
California, while it has taken steps
tc practically abandon the doctrine
of riparian rights, still has on it's
statute book a provision reservine
TO California all waters arising
within the state and flowing into an
other state.'' 49,
If the siX-state pact and the
Swing -JoJhnsonsfpi bill were in effect
California and Nevada would be pre-
cluded from entering into an agree
ment with Arizona contrary there
with, nor could citizens of California
appropriate water from the river
without consent of Arizona and New
ada or the federal government, the
report continues. Consequently the
situation would be empasse until
some agreement was reached that
would induce Arizona to ratify the
seven-state pact"
Concluding, the report says:
TT now appears that the six-state
compact, supplemented by the Swing
Johnson bill, protects the upper basin
states from all appropriation by
lower states in violation of the CON-
pact"

The action of the committee was
based in some measure upon the
statement before it of Secretary Will
bur and other nigh naval authorities
who emphasized the need of cruiser
construction not only to balance the
fighting fleet but to keep employed
private ship yards necessary for a
replacement of the ships of the
battle fleet when the ten years

five years hence.
Besides providing for beginning
work on the three additional cruisers,

IT'S the commonplace of American
criticism that ART and PR0PA-
GANDA are opposed and irrecon-
cilable conceptions. The thing is that
we have a peculiarly confused and
muddled overestimate of both words.
like LIBERTY, PATRIOTISM,
HOME and MOTHER they have been
so often used for lettering placards
that they have lost any real meaning.
Now all that cart" ever seems to
have meant in English was "doing
something we'll or cleverly." In the
nineteenth century it was debased to
imply something connected with
easel-painting and copying old mas
tiers in museums. The mauve nine
ties, under the influence Of Bohemian
Paris, put exclamation marks behind
it and made it the rallying cry of
lazy and disconnected members of
the middle class. At present the
word means exactly nothing.
Propaganda is a bugaboO-word,
just as art is a glory-word. ] think
it was invented during the counter
reformation when the tinkling of cash
in the collection-boxe was getting low
and the Catholic faith had to propa-
gate or die. In its agony it gave
birth to the extraordinary organism
of the Society of Jesus, which gave
the most efficient form yet discovered
to the science of convincing people.
Propaganda means trying to convince
people, to make them think and act
the way you do, or the way you
would wish to act and think. At
present anything that remotely deals
with labor, except an injunction, is
labelled propaganda by the mysterious
body of unsuccessful poets, novel;
lists, dramatists, lawyers, and eff
cheney experts too lazy to do con-
structive work that have become
editors, columnists, and college pro-
fessors and control the thinking of
the mass of Americans.

the point. All the great dramatic
writers in the past, with the possible
exception of Shakespeare, who reaches
a curious balance of opinion against
opinion, and never ventures a final
decision, have been primarily moral
lists, propagandists of some creed or
attitude of mass life, or else critics
and satirists Of the creeds prevail
ing. Almost any other form of ex-
preston can exist without trying to
make people do something. The the

DANCE HALL LICENSE LAW
HELD TO BE AMBIGUOUS"
Lieut.. Van Wrinkle of Woman's Bu-

More Clearly Defined.

An effort to control the issuance of
licenses to dance halls was made yes

director of the Woman's Bureau of the

Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent

governing dance halls be defined more
clearly because of its present ambigu-
Gus wording and that the new regula-
tions specify that no licenses shall be
issued except upon the recommenda-
tion by the Womans Bureau, that
investigation has shown that the
applicant of such license is OF good
reputation.
Maj. Hesse transmitted Mrs. Van
Wrinkles request to the Commission
ers and asked that the Corporation
Counsel be directed to define what
constitutes dance hall, but pointed
out that so far as the suggestion that
all licenses be referred to the Woman's
Bureau for investigation is concerned
that 'is clearly a matter of admins
