Idaho Senator Would Force
Republican Convention To
Take Stand.
WRITES BUTLER
Urges Presentation Of Is
sue Before Delegates Are
Elected.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 (P)-Prohibi-
tion was thrust forward today as a
possible paramount issue before the
republican national convention in
1928.
Agreeing with the view expressed
at New York by DR.. Nicholas Murra}'
Butler that this issue is here and
must be met, Senator Borah, republic
can, Idaho, announced his readiness
to co-operate in bringing The ques-
tion before the party convention.
81 agree with you perfectly, that
we should not dodge this issue
the Idaho senator said, in an open
letter sent to the president Of Col
umbia university. 81 shall contribute
in every way 1 can to force the issue
to a final conclusion in the next con-
,vention.''
Senator Borah said the question
should not be left to the declaration
of the party candidate for president;
that the party, as a party, should
unmistakably declare itself He add
ed that the voters who make up the
party should be given an opportunity
to speak in the selection of dele
gates to the convention.
The senator who was one of those
having large part in the submis-
sion of the prohibition amendment to
the states, wrote DR.. Butler that he
would gladly go into the several
states to assist in presenting the is
sue directly to the people who are to
elect the delegates and before hand
would meet with DR.. Butler and others
on the wet side for the purpose of
defining the issue and arranging for
the campaign.
"I do not think it can be met nor
should we undertake to meet it by
leaving it to the declaration of the
supposed personal attitude of the
candidate. The republican party, as
a party, should Enthusiastically declare
itself upon this question. The voters
who make up the party should have
an opportunity to speak.
'In order to achieve this the issue
should be presented in the respective
states and districts prior to the cleo
tion Of delegates so that the dele
gates may be elected in according
with the popular view. The time
seems short enough between now and
the meeting of the convention to
bring this about.
"I assume from your address that
you and your friends are in favor Of,
and insist upon the republican party
declaring specifically and definitely
for the repeal of both the eighteenth
amendment and the VolStead act.
May I ask: Is this the position which
you take and for which you stand
ready to insist? Do I understand
! THAI it is your purpose to carry this
issue thus expressed directly to the
delegates and thence to the conven-
tion and have the party declare it.

SPILLSBURY IS
sure OF VALLEY
POWER PROJECT
Colonization Of Sulphur
Springs Valley Urged
By Official.

p C. SpillSbury, executive or the
Arizona corporation commission, told
a gathering of Douglas business men
at the chamber Of commerce offices
here Tuesday afternoon that the Sui
phur Springs valley electric power
development project was one of the
most feasible and favorable in the
entire state of Arizona provided GER
tain rules were followed in the de-
velopment.
The speaker said that the electric
power could be secured at two
cent rate and, that with a strict limit
of not more than fifty feet for the
water lift on the project the farms
could be made to pay an excellent
profit. He pointed out that the en-
tire project must first depend on
bringing into the valley a large
number of new farmers as at the
present time there are not enough
real farmers here to make such a
project possible.
Spillsbury said that this colonial
tion work could be accomplished cas-
lily by arranging to pool the acreage
that can be tied up in belt where
water is less than fifty feet from
the surface and taking from this pool
twenty per cent of the land to be
given to a colonization specialist or
corporation which would in turn be
guaranteed nothing unless they sold
the land to new farmers.
The entire district, which Spills
bury urged should not be so very
large to start WITH would be bonded
for the expenses of starting the
project and old and new farmers
would start alike in this matter. He
advocated the growing of feeds such
as alfalfa and the working up to a
large scale of dairying and cattle
fattening projects.
Strict adherence to a shallow water
rule for all the project, the bringing
in of more real farmers, growing
only of feeds and a small amount OF
vegetables were the things which
this expert said were required to make
a great success of the first project
after (which more and more lands
could be added. He advocated plac-
ing the power house at Wilcox and
using lands extending toward Doug
las from there instead of taking
power from DouSldS 10 HllleS Hol III
before it could be used to the best
advantage.
Spillsbury pointed out that the de-
velopment of this project and of such
another one around Tucson is of
more real Importance to Arizona than
the development of the Colorado river
because with initial costs here very
low and with no competition and a
good local market to start with this
country possesses great opportunity
whereas along the Colorado and
throughout the western part of the
state such projects cost more for the
land alone than the entire improved
and working project here would cost
