Power Interests Are TWO-Faced
Call Boulder Dam Project Necessary Privately Owned
But Unnecessary Il Publicly Owned

The organized power interests have overreached them
selves their anti Boulder Dam propaganda put out BY the
National Electric Light Association
This organization in its official memorandum on Swing
johnson bill asserts that there market for Boulder
Dam power in Southern California and hence the project
could be financed BY the sale power al proposed
Thereby the National Electric Light Association comes
conflict with the expert testimony Of Of its leading
members the Southern California Edison Company and SEN
aor Phpps Of Colorado Of the Southern seras Power
Company.
The Edison Company the Southern Serras Power Com
pany which together supply Southern California with nine
tenths Of its electrical energy really ought TO know what
ct need for Boulder Dam as fast it be provided
The bulletin of the power interests reads:
The total electrical load Of all Southern California now
only 10000 horse The total load from Boulder
Dam could not be absorbed in from five 10 years
completion.
The estimates Of earnings from sale Of power should be
made this basis
Contrast that with this extract from the speech Of Senator
Phpps before the Denver Chamber Of Commerce Decem
Der 81:
lone thing is admitted on all sdss-by those who favor
operationthere is real need for this additional power in
the West there will be ample market for it over and
above the present consumption Of power"
Way back February 49, 1924 President John B. Miller
Of the Southern California Edison Company publicly offered
build Boulder Dam for the its electric power
letter Of that date he assured Chairman Smith of the House
Committee
Immediately upon securing the necessary Federal and
states authority prepared to undertake and finance
gear
This is far more rapid rate Of construction than proposed
by the Federal Government The Edison Companys offer Of
1924 repeated by its vice president B. Ballard adj
dressing Secretary Work at conference which Secretary
Work held in Los Angeles Chamber Of Commerce when
he came West last April
SO this to be the situation:
If the Government generates the electricity Boulder DAM
there is market for it.
If the private power companies generate the amount Of
electricity at the power plant in the location there
is ample and complete demand for it.
This of is the simple truth about the matter:
The National Electric Light Association not worried for
fear the Boulder Dam project, with Government power
house, will not be a success.
The National Electric Light Association and its clients
would like nothing better than to have this project glorious
flop.
They against because they know it will be success
That is good for them to oppose it. for their

diminishing fury, tonight about the
now famous seventh round and
whether or not the "long" count of
nine actually occupying space OF
13 of IA Seconds-saved Gene Tunney
from losing the heavyweight crown
to Jack Dempsey.
The official decision in Tunney's
favor, on the score of the delay
in counting in the seventh round
until Dempsey was waved to a corner
as well as on the verdict at the close
in the champions favor, stands as it
was rendered last night. The state
athletic commission settled this al
a session that heard and refused
to allow formal protest from Leo

knocked out and that Dempsey was
robbed" of the. championship. AT
the same time a loophole was left
for further appeal by Flynn.
Dempsey himself refused to support
Flynn's action, today at least, and
through his agent, Arthur F. Driscoll,
of New York, made it known that
he was considering no "squaWk" or
protest at present.
So it will stay on the records as
a ten round decision for Tunney, but
there were thousands today, those
who had seen the fight and those
who studied it's seventh round details
closely in the slow motion pictures,
convinced that untoward circum-
stances cost Jack Dempsey the great
est triumph of his career.
The pictures not only showed that
the time. elapsing during the count
of nine" was actually nearer II
seconds but they indicated that Tun-
ney, had he been compelled TO get
up earlier than he did, probably
would have been a wobbly, easy
target for the finishing wallop. In
other words, the four or five addi-
tional seconds the champion gained

the pictures to be q vital, if not

Gene was dazed and blinking when
he went down from a series of left
and right hands smaShes to the
jaw. He was still seemingly only
semi conscious when the count actu-
ally reached "five" Nine or ten
seconds actually had passed by that
time so that, but for Dempsey's delay
in retreating, Tunney conceivably
might have been counted out. Even
had he been able to rise it is doubtful
whether his legs could have carried
