SWING PLEASED
WITH SUPPORT
PROMISED BILL
Congressman Urges Val.
ley Friends to Keep Up
Good Spirit Shown.

81 am delighted with the wonder
full support being given the Swing
johnson bill in the valley. 1t has
done me a world of good to pay this
hasty visit here, meeting all my old
friends and being encouraged in the
fight we are waging to put over the
Boulder Dam legislation. Just keep
fighting and following the present
boosting methods now being carried
out in the valley and Wen win.
That was the the parting declara-
ton of Congressman Phil Swing as
he left FL Centre this morning,
bound for San d lego, from which
point he will depart Monday for
Washington. He was accompanied
BY Mrs. John G. Allen, wife of Con
gresham Allen of Illinois, her cous-
in, Mrs. A. f. Webster, and Gilbert
Preston of the Imperial Irrigation
District.
Throughout yesterday the con-
gresham was busy about the valley.
He met and held several conferences
with businessmen and talked with
hundreds of old friends. At noon he
appeared before members of the
Holtville Rotary and gave short
address.
Congressman Swing returned to Ell
Centre in the afternoon and after
, going over a number of business
dealings with C. L. Childers, attor-
nev for the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict, he discussed plans for the
{ Boulder Dam fight with officials of
the district.
An effort was made to have him
! appear as the guest of the Chamber
of Commerce at the Barbara Worth
/ hotel at night but he Informed those
/ in charge that he had already prom
/ ised Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Webster
that he would take them on a trip
to other points in the valley which
they had not seen while here. When
the women returned later in the af-
ternoon from their trip to Andrado
and into Mexico along the levees
Congressman Swing took them in
charge and made a tour through
the valley, pointing out numerous
places of interest and thoroughly
explained the working of the irri
cation system to them.
Sticks To Business
"T was sorry that | was unable
TO have dinner with my friends il
FL Centre. You can tell them fol
me that / appreciate their attention
and that | know they are all pulling
strong for Boulder Dam. They have
proved this hundreds of times in the
past and while it would have been a
pleasure to dine with them | an
fsure they will forgive my FORGING
of that pleasure to be able to con
vince Mrs. Allen that Boulder Dam
is a necessity. Her report to Con
gresham Allen will mean much to
us in Washington.
Congressman Ashton G.. Shallen
berger and Congressman Albert Car
ter, who with Mrs. Allen and Mrs
Webster, viewed the district hold
ings at Andrade and made the trip
into Mexico over the district levces

ed to them the bearing which the
Boulder Dam project will have on
the system here.

Coolidge Asserts Valley
Flood Control Should Be
Considered. 4

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22-Presi-
dent Coolidge today assured Govern
Or George II. Dern, of Utah, that
the federal government would not
oppose any agreement relative to the
Boulder Dam or other development
Of the Colorado river, which might
he acceptable to the seven states
concerned, Dern said after con
ycrsation with Mr.. Coolidge at the
White House.
bern is chairman of the Colorado
river conference which met in Den
Yer and said he expected agreement
To be reached among the seven states
M the next meeting in December.
1t was his understanding that
California, Arizona and Nevada
we're negotiating to compose their
differences before the December
meeting.
1.-THE sentiment of congress-,
Dern said, "was that the river be-
longed to the state rather than to
the nation. We did not oppose fed
eral development of the river, but
we wanted state rights in it to be
respected.
IL believe the Swing Johnson
Boulder Dam bill was unconstitu-
t'onal because il asserted federal
ownership of the stream. 1t is a
settled law that the bed of navi-
gable stream belongs to the state
and Utah has been carrying freight
and passengers on the Colorado riv-
or.
Development Not Opposed
II also is settled law that the
water of any stream belongs to the
state. Therefore the river belongs
10 the state and we ought to get
something out of it.
"Power projects should be con.
trollcd by the state and leased mere
" as a source of revenue to relieve
taxation.
"Thc Swing Johnson bill proposed
to turn the Colorado river over To
California. The purpose OF our con
ference at Denver was to get Ari-
coma and California to agree on di-
vision of the use of the river.
Nobody opposes development of
the river
The president said the whole prob
lem ought to be looked at and that
Imperial Valley flood control ought
10 be considered.
bern thought Colorado and Mis-,
sssippi flood control projects should
hc considered separately and on
their own merits.

against half way measures in deal,

The famous conservationist and
former governor of Pennsylvania ar
irving here for the winter said:
/" Evidence is accommodating that

The Silk Hat Brigade

From London comes a rare bit of news and one
that provides the germ of an idea for America an
idea that might perhaps thousands Of lives
The idea is to a high silk hat to avoid being
run down by automobiles.
The London dispatch declares that silk hats are
the best insurance against being run over by mo.
tor car in London traffic jam and offers logical
arguments to prove it. Bus and taxi drivers gen.
orally regard the stovepipe hat as the insignia O:
a noble lord and self Prospecting driver could
dream OF running down such a superior person.
The mere fact that bank clerks and messengers
wear high silk hats far more frequently than do
the noble lords has not dmmed the ustre of the
old tradition and in the swirl at Pcadly Circus
and Trafalgar Square traffic cops always halt traf.
fic for members CT the high hat brigade 1t is
even said that in less congested districts where
there are traffic policemen, the drivers them
selves halt for the magical silk hat.
All very well for England, where they have had
lords and all that sort Of thing for the humble taxi
driver still to venerate, but in America what can
we do about it? We very much fear that the per-
sen who dons high silk hat and tries to stun traf-
fic at Fifth avenue and Forty-second street in New
York. or Michigan Boulevard in Chicago, will find
himself a target instead Of an object of respect

worlds record for direct hits. They fear and re-
spect no man. To them pedestrian is a pedes-
trian, Of the earth, to be run over with i'm
punty and laughed to scorn whenever possible.
On second thought, after canvassing the situa,
ton, we fear that the idea will not do for u.s. Tho
silk hat may grant traffic immunity in England
but here it would certainly not be effective.

Animal tuberculosis

The progress made in recent years against the
ravages of animal tuberculosis has been truly re-
'markable. This malady represented an immense
money loss each year to the American farmer and,
in addition, the condition was vital menace to the
health Of the entire country. Even now, despite
the progress already made, it would take 100000
600 to wipe out animal tuberculosis in this country
Great, however, is that cost, the amount Of
money is indeed small compared to the loss that
would be suffered if money were not available for
the present campaign against the disease. In 1917
the disease was causing a loss of about $40,OO0O0l
"a year. and if the disease had been allowed to 60
on and spread at the rate it was then going. no
one could estimate what the eventual loss would
have been. By now the yearly loss would have
probably exceeded the total of the amount neces-
sary to wipe it completely out.
The participation of the federal government in
the work Of combating this cattle disease has been
state boundaries and wherever such situation ex-
lists it is only right and proper for the federal au
liberties to step in and work with the various states
to fight it. It will be necessary from time to time
tor the federal government to appropriate perhaps

us well worth the cost, not only in avoiding vast
yearly money loss, but for the benefit the human
population will derive from diseasefree cattle. EN-
inent authorities have stated that the bovine tu-
:bercle bacili is not intrnscaly less virulent for
man than the human tubercle bacilli.
: Thus while we may rejoice in the progress made
far in the control of this disease we must also
resolve to prosecute the affair even more vigor-
ously, with effort and money, and wipe the disease
sout altogether,

Tribute-and 4 Pledge

On one day in every year this busy, restless ma
ton pauses in what it is doing and pays its sincere
tribute of respect and devotion to the who have
died in its defense.
That day-today-is Decoration Day. 1t is a
day Of memories; day on which our minds wan
der back to distant wars and haf-forgotten battles
day on which we remind ourselves anew that
many thousands Of men have found flag and our
homeland precious that they have willingly died
for them.
And SO, today, We pay our tribute.
We do so with the thought that are, in the
only way possible. doing something for the
who have fought and died for US. Yet as matter
of fact the homage that pay today is somethin:
that far more to than it does to them.
The men who gave their lives on the shcl-swcpt
slopes of Gettysburg, in the murky tangle of the
Wilderness and in the DOGGY depths of the Argonne
Forest do not need tribute. They have,
put it, gone to their reward, and there is little W"
can do for them.
1t is we who are the gamers by what we do to-
day. For it is true, now of old, that we grow
like what contemplate. nation takes shape
according to its ideals; men and women without
intending to, take the characteristics that they
respect most.
And SO, under the impression that we arc giving.
receive The service that American soldiers
rendered on the Datte1eldS OF TWO hemlSphereS dlu
not cease there. They left for US memories Of
heroism and sclf-sacrifice of gallant manhood and
.open-handcd courage; and we, remembering, arc
better for it.
But it is not the dead alone who give us these
noble memories. Today there pass in review be-
fore US, not only the dim wraths of the men who
fell at Charlottesville, at Shiloh at Santiago, a:
-Belleau Wood and at Cantigny; with them, inter-
mingled, are their comrades, who fought beside
them, but who lived to fight and serve again.
These men, still alive, men to whom we owe a
great debt. They have served doubly; what
ever we can do to repay that debt is cur duty and
nothing less.
else The men who have defended US may rest as
.sured Of that. Today, drinking again Of the in
SEPARATION that is given by the mighty parade
of living and dead, we may pledge ourselves once
more to its full payment.

No one is able to quote President Coolidge about
his possible nomination next year. Apparently,
that is a subject severely tabooed at the white
house. Yet it is noticeable that every public man,
every member Of party committee, every editor
who has talk with the president, comes away fair
~ bubbling over with ideas about q third term.
They all say that Mr.. Coolidge did not refer to it
or discuss it, but in some mysterious way it lies at
the top OF their minds they emerge from the
presidential presence. And slowly it would appear,
new form of tactful approach to third term is
being worked out.
The thing was innocently given away to the
Washington correspondents by q newspaper man
from Tacoma. He describes the pressure for a
third term coming wholly from the side of the
people. They showing signs of rising up to
demand that Mr.. Coolidge serve another term,
whether he wants to not They will, as it were.

Thereupon he, "as good soldier" is counted upon

the old conception Of soldier president and third
term. One reason why third term for President
Grant was feared by many was that he had been
soldier. The idea OF military color given to the
presidency was distastefpl. But now we have the
smart notion Of calling upon an inveterate civil
ian to become good soldier by taking another term
in the presidency. Instead Of the popular upris-
ing against third term which was foreseen by
President Butler. the strategy Of the Coolidge man.
