BOULDER DAM GETS
FAVORABLE REPORT
Bill Involving $125,0OO,O 900
Uncertain of Consideration
on House Floor.

Ry the Associated Press.
The SIX weeks of silence on the
new Swing johnson Boulder Canyon
Dam measure was broken In the House
today when its irrigation committee re-
ported the bill with favorable recon-
mendation.
The bill would authorize the expen-
diture of $l25.000.00 for the construc-
ton of 550-foot dam and power plant
at Boulder or Black Canyon. on the
Nevada Arizona boundary, and the
opening Of an all-American canal from
the Colorado River to Imperial and
Coachella Valleys. Calf.
The additional time granted by the
committee to enable the river commits
sioners OF the seven Colorado Basin
States to continue their negotiations for
a compact allocating the waters of the
river among the States had brought no
intimation Of the perfection of any
agreement.
While the bill now is out committee,
there Is no indication that it will be
brought up on the floor for early con-
sideration. Representative Swing. Re-
publican. California. co-author of the
measure. said he was uncertain as to
the place the House leaders would give
II on the schedule.
The report described the paramount
purpose of the bin as 1.-The protection of
human life and property in Imperial
Valley, Calf. which is under constant
menace of destruction from the floods of
rebellious and treacherous river" The
project. 1t added. will put its wasting
waters to work in the interest of society.

Senator Gerry, Rhode Island, Do.
mates 10000 Volumes Collect.
ed by His Father.

One of the largest and most valuable
law libraries In this country or else
where is to be given to the United
States Supreme Court by Senator Peter
G. Gerry, Democrat. of Rhode Island.
The famous collection, consisting OF
more than 10000 volumes was gath
cred over a long period Of years by
the late Elbridge r. Gerry, father OF

collecting his law library when he en-
tered the practice of Law In New York
In Civil War times. and continued to
add to 1t over long period. 1t includes
collection OF year books and a number
of rare legal volumes.
A bill to be enacted by Congress au-
thorizing the Chief Justice OF the
United States to accept the gift for the
Supreme Court was introduced in the

Instead of making corrective reme-

the Senate committees failure to re-
port on its investigation, that Con-
greSs once more has voted the COM
missions annual appropriation: agri-
culture Is making proper demands for
national relief. and 1t is easier to use
the commission to convert farmers to
q mistaken belief In tariff salvation
than to apply real and permanent agri-
cultural remedies
The commission further was charged
with failure to meet its statutory obli-
cations by reporting on the effect OF
the tariff on industries and labor.
An open-minded performance OF
this task by the commission" Costigan
wrote. would have disclosed the use
OF various tariff fallacies to mislead
farmers and industrial workers in the
United States. If the commission had
been properly constituted, long before

To show further that national repre-
sentation Is not political issue between
parties or factions, Mr.. Suter cited that
the AL Smith-for- President Club has
declared for national representation and
will ask that 1t be included in the party
platform at the Houston convention,
and that at the same time William @.
McAdoo in recent speech here heart
lily indorsed the campaign for national
representation.

Statements Put in Record.
He declared that this self-chosen lead
er of the opposition found his chief
support in the musty and dusty atmos-
phere of old book shops.
Mr.. Suter secured from the commit
tee permission TO insert in the record
statements BY leaders OF public opinion
representing more than score OF or
ganizations signatory TO the petition
for national representation who were
deprived Of an opportunity OF testifying
at the hearings due TO limited time.

that II does not limit or curtail the
