Another gratifying evidence
Of the success Of the administra-
ton at Washington is seen IN
the announcement by Secretary
Mellon that the surplus in the
Federal treasury for the fiscal
wear lust ended is $398,000,000.
This is within about two per
cent of the estimate of the de-
partment as to what the surplus
would be. The national debt has
been reduced by about 1907, ,0O0,-
600, and the expenses of the
government during the fiscal
year we're about S3,644,000,000,
a tremendous sum calling atten-
ton again to the fact that an en-
ormous percentage of the ma
tional income is taken for gov
ernment of one one kind or an
other. However, the great tri-
umph has been a reduction OF
the national debt by more than
five billions during recent years.
The administration has made a
good record in business-like

Five hundred and two carloads of
white potatoes were shipped on Thurs
dav from the Eastern Shore of Vir-
ginia and two cars from the Eastern
Shore of Maryland on Thursday as
compared with 383 cars for the cor
responding period last year. There
was a decided decline in the price on
Friday and Saturday, the market drop
ping from S1.50 and $1.65 cents the
barrel to $1.3O. The low price is go
ing to cause the growers to lose many
thousands of dollars, and already
there is talk among many of the
Maryland growers, it is stated, that
they do not propose to dig the crop,
as it will mean a loss of money at
the prevailing prices. 1t is reported
that there are $4,000 acres of tubers
in the potato belt, and when the pro
duction is as heavy as it seems to be
this season that it requires much ex-

when at the requests of the seven governors OF the
States in the basin and of President Harding, un-
dertook the Craftsmanship of the Colorado River COM
mittee which was assigned by Congress and by the
State legislatures duty Of composing the 20 year
interstate water-fight this river and its trlbu-
tares.
This commission spent nearly two years in ne
gotiation and hearings and finally signed an inter-
state compact at Santa Fe, n. Mex, on November
24 1922 subject to ratification by the legislatures
and by Congress- The compact devoted solely
to the question Of water rights it being thought that
the only road to solution of many conflicts was by
taking at time, and in the agreement attempt
was made to settle all the water right questions be-
tween the states but only to separate the water
rights of the four upper basin States from those of
the three lower basin States thus lOcazng the whole
difficulty and freeing the development of each BASIN

in the vicinity of Boulder Canyon which would serve

these views.
There are theoretical engineering for
establishing storage works farther up the river and
flood-control works lower down the river They
will undoubtedly both be built in time. The prac-
teal problem however, is what need to do for the
immediate generations, and it has always seemed to
me that by one construction in this locality
accomplish three purposes of storage, flood control
and pwer of sufficient extent to the next 40
years and being the nearest point to market for
er we would have a larger economic return from
works established there"

81 am not at all in favor of the Federal Govern
ment undertaking the construction of public works
of this character, but have to bear in mind that

"If it were possible should like to lend emphasis
the necessity for action in solution of this question
We have here in the Ariz. and Calf valleys
a considerable population and great wealth subject
to the great menace of terrific spring floods of the
Colorado River and these floods to the California
Valley unique menace. Because large part
of that lies below level and once the river
breaks its banks it either complete destruc-
tion expenditure at the recovery of the
valleys There is very large production and wealth
from this both and in the future It's credit
standing and the possibilities of expansion in agr-
culture constantly limited by the threat of flood.
There is further urgent necessity for solution be-
of the international questions involved in the
of these waters by which permanent losses may
be incurred to the United States through delay Be-
yond this again is the urgent necessity for compile
ton in order that water for municipal and domestic
purposes may be rendered available to the million
and half people in southern California.
Beyond the question of urgency are other ques-
tions of very large national Importance - the devel
opment of further agricultural areas of power and
increased national wealth. The problems surround
ing question do not lie in the lack of enormous
sources in water, in arid land or in power or the
private or public capital to develop it.

81 believe the largest group of those who have
dealt with the problem, both engineers and business
folk have come to the conclusion that there should
be high dam erected somewhere in the vicinity OF
Black Canyon. That is known usually as the Boui-
der Canyon site but nevertheless it is actually Black
Canyon. The dam so erected is proposed to serve
the triple purpose of power flood control and stor-
age. Perhaps l should state them in a different
order = flood control storage and power, as power
is a by-product of these other works.

Mr.. Hoover Said

Nearly all of our greater dranages contain
within themselves possibilities of cheapened trans
portation, irrigation, reclamation, domestic water
supply hydro-electric power and frequently the
cessties of flood control. Where they lie to-
gether must coordinate transportation with flood
control the development of hydro-eecric power and
of irrigation. The Congress has authorized and

Excerpts From Statements of
HERBERT HOOVER
Giuen Before House and Senate
Committees On
Swing-Johnson Bill
1924

Boulder Dam is in the lower canyon and always
when we speak of Boulder Canyon we speak OF the
Black Canyon proposition which are not far apart.
A dam of some kind at these points would give inn
mediate protection to the land development already
made in the lower river. The situation of that de-
velopment is one of a great deal of solictude.
In my mind the urgency of the situation ls first
for flood CONTROL and, second is the development of
such works as will enable the further extension of
irrigation of that region and third the development
of power from which large portion of the eXpendl-
lures should be ultimately recovered.'
