Queen Up An Night
The queen, with Princess Mary at

struggle her royal consort was hav-

THE VERDICT AWAITED

Friends of the Boulder Canyon dam bill (and in
cldentally everyone to be its friend since it
passed, have every reason to believe that President
Coolidge will sign the bill when it is sent to him from
congress.
This statement is based on the fact that the devel-
opment of the Colorado river has had the support of
the administration far back the regime of the late
President Harding.
The necessity for controlling the Colorado has
been fully apparent to all, though there have been
many and diverse opinions the manner in which the
control should be regulated Need of dam which
would govern the flow of the river at all of the
year has been conceded by all This has not been the
case with the all-American canal, which many not
as well acquainted with the project residents Of
Imperial Valley, have opposed.
Likewise the ALLEGATION of water; the construction
Of power plant at the dam site and the distribution
of the generated have hitherto been matters of
dispute.
The President declared in his recent message to
congress- that he favors the development of the Colo
RADIO river and hoped that the states concerned
with the development would be able to together
that the bill could be passed.
This has been done. True Arizona has not
yet entered the fold but there is to doubt
that it will Arizona has been in favor of the project,
but insisted that the ALLEGATION of water and other de-
tails of the project unfair to her These wrinkles
have been pretty well ironed of the bill and has
received the approval of both houses Of congress by
large majortes.
Yesterdays action by the house, in concurring on
the bill passed by the senate appears to be the
moval of the final stone in the path of the BILL 1t IS
acceptable to the house and senate the representatives
of the people The fact that Mr. Coolidge said in his
message that he opposed to the government entering
the power business in connection with the Colorado
river Development has bearing the matter.
The removal of the Davenport amendment to the
bill, which would have made operation of the power
plant at Boulder dam mandatory with the government,
paves the way for the President to place his signature
to the bill.
In doing this he stamps himself keeping his
pledge to the people and his place ndeby in
American history by giving approval to the greatest
piece of constructive engineering that has yet at
tempted.
The Swng-J Johnson bill is a sensible piece of legs
lation Mr.. Coolidge is extremely sensible man.
We may leave the verdict with him and feel secure that
il will be the right

THEY DID THEIR WORK

While bouquets being passed around at this
season of the year. might not be amss to slip to
the police of Buenos Aires who unearhed and squech
ed the plot directed by anarchists in that city against
Mr. Hoover officials of the Argentine government, and
representatives of other powers there.
Had the police been less alert, thereby enabling
the poters to succeed in their plans the re-
suit would unquestonably have been fraught with
catastrophe.
While Mr.. Hoover was in the Argentine, the gov
ernment of that country responsible for his safe
ty. Had anything happened to him II is certain that
the feeling in the United States would have been direct
ed against the Argentine government even though 1t
had done all it possibly could to assure his safety
The far-reaching effects Of any tragedy to Mr
Hoover are little too awful to contemplate.
The Buenos Aires police proved their efficiency
and are deserving the praise Of the American nation
Of course they did nothing more than their duty, but
even duty we'll done is praiseworthy.
1t is gratifying to note that Mr.. Hoover has aban-
doned his plans to visit SantO Domingo and Havana
We sav gratifying not that would not like to have
him visit those countries but the burden imposed upon
them is little too much If Mr. Hoover has to be eX-
posed to danger prefer to have him do 1t where we
alone will be responsible.
