 Makes Report

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The Columbia River Basin bill has been shorn of most of the contro- versial phases and approaches the last lap of it's Congressional jour ney. This was when the House Irrigation Committee approved the measure yesterday.
 Unlike the Summers bill of last year, the measure which has al- ready been adopted by the Senate, would not provide adoption of a three million acre tract in the State of Washington but would simply provide for a survey of such a project.
 Testimony before the Committee indicated the people of the State of Washington have already spent half million dollars compared to $20O, 900 the Government spent in making surveys.

Three Clues in Staying of Little Girl Run Down
 -Fruitless

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Jan. 5.-A man hunt for the kidnap- per and slayer of June Nelson entered the fifth day with every tangible clue obtained in the search investigated and found to be of no aid in apprehending the man for whose arrest rewards to- taling S2,350 have been posted.
 Three promising clues inyolv- ing the finding of two blood stained automobiles and the story of cab driver that he picked up man and sobbing girl New Years Eve and had taken them to within a short distance of Surplus Canal, in which June's body was found, came to naught.
 Investigation of the two cars with upholstery stained with blood were found to have been used by hunters, one of them having bagged an elk and trans ported 1t home in his passenger car.
 The drivers story, though at first tangible clue, shed little light when a Salt Lake resi- dent reported to the police he and his wife's sister, of the same age as the Nelson girl. had been the drivers fares. The girl had refused to be taken home and started crying.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5-Chair- man William E. Borah, of the Sen ate Foreign Relations Comm tee. propelled the Kellogg pact on it's way through the Senate in a de- bate which became persons, after three hours. during which he an- swered questioners from all sides of the Chamber The sponsor of the treaty summed up and answer ed arguments against the pact calling for early ratification in the present form.
 No Clash Takes Place
 Senator Reed, of Missouri. who was ready to lead the opposition and whose onslaught had been eagerly awaited by those wishing to see Reed and Borah clash, re- piled only briefly with the reading of correspondence of other nations, s sayinsg: This correspondence showed many constructions have been placed upon the Kellogg Treaty and there is a dispute al- ready as to it's meaning"
 Monroe Doctrine
 Senator Borah contended that the treaty could not infringe on the Monroe Doctrine because the Doctrine is part of the American policy of self-defense.
 senator Borah insisted fhe right of self-defense was inheritent in the treaty and contended corre- spondence of other nations ex- blaming their interpretations of he treaty can have no bearing )n the treaty because they merely leal with this question of self de- fense.
 America's Position
 Furthermore, Senator Borah ar gued, the Kellogg Treaty made clear America's position on self defense in similar notes and in speeches.

TEN RULES ADVANCED TOMAKE PROSPERITY
 PERMANENT IN U. s.
By CHARLES M. SCHWAB (President, American lIcn and
 Steel lnstitute)

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Wc have reached in this country an amaz- ing degree of general sperlfy. American business on the whole no longer faces an uphill climb. The problem today is an entirely new one. It is what to do to make prosperity permanent.
 No one, of course, has any pa . ent rights to continuing business success, but I venture to sngg est a few fundamental considerations which all of us may find helpful to keep in mind These 10 rules seem to me to hold the key to lasting prosperity:
 1. Pay labor the highest poss;- ble wages. Prosperity is intimately related to liberal wage scale
 2. Treat labor as bssiness partner. Successful industry de- pends more on human relations than upon the organization of nlon- ey and machines.
 3. Conduct business in the full light of day. Public confideree and public suspicion may be separ- ated only by a door.
 4. Remember that the law of supply and demand is inexorabla. It would also be well to remember that there is no necessity for pro- ducing an excess.
 5. Live and help live. Even prosperous industries cannot of- ford to have the backward indus tries too far behind the process sion. Prosperity to be permanent must be equally distributed.
 6. Welcome new ideas. To establish permanent institutions We must always be prepared for a change
 '. Never be satisfied that what has been achieved is sufficient. Smugness and complacency do not promote progress.
 8. Operate business op the most economical basis. Pric e-cutting over-expansion, uneconemical ways of distribution are just as harmful to business and the the public as priee-fixing, monopolies and re- bates.
 9. Look ahead and think ahead. It is easier to avoid depressions than it is to cure them.
 10. Smile, be cheerful and work upon the basis that the funda-

division appears in Democratic ranks, thes minority party will hold the balance Of power.
 The situation presents a political dilemma to the Republicans. In 2l years Of statehood, Oklahoma has not elected Republican Gov ernor. Some Republican leaders believe they could profit from fur ther Democratic dissension in 1930, but standardization Democrats threaten to charge them with re- sponsibility for continuation of the present regime if they fail to join the forces opposing Gov. Johnston.
 Impeachment cnarges were voted against Gov. Johnston, Fred F. Branson. chief justice of the Su- preme court, and Harry ?. Corden. President of the State Board of Agriculture, by self-convened majority of the House of Repre- sentatiyes year ago.
