ARIZONA ON WARPATH

Arizona, newest of states, is fighter. It is bristling with indigna- ton about Boulder Dam. Its officials are still arguing about it. In the near future representatives of Ari- zona, California and Nevada will confer at Phoenix regarding the ob- jections of Arizona. Perhaps the representatives of California and Nevada will try to convert those of Arizona to change their tune: or per haps it will be the reverse. Anyway. Arizona is still kicking.
 It was on June 25, 1929, that President Hoover proclaimed the Boulder Canyon Project Act. pro- viding for the construction of the dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado river, where it forms the boundary between Arizona and Nevada. The proclamation was im- mensely unpopular in Arizona; not that Arizonians are opposed to 4 dam, but it is the diversion and di- vision of the water and power that they oppose.
 Arizona threatens to obtain an in- junction against construction at Boulder Dam on the ground that the Boulder Canyon Act is unconstitu- tional. The meeting at Phoenix is an attempt by California and Nevada. 10 avoid litigation. If Arizona goes through with it's legal plans it may be considerable more years than seven, the time estimated for the construction or the dam, before lt is completed.
 The trouble with the seven states most directly interested in the Boulder Dam project is that they have a potential gold mine of power and irrigation to divide and so far as Arizona is concerned, there is serious trouble ahead In how the division can be made with justice and satis- faction as necessary factors.
 Secretary Of the Interior Wilbur recently alloCatcd one-halt of Boulder Dams power to the Metropolitan Water District Of Southern California, one-fourth to the city Of Los Angeles, and one fourth 70 the Southern Edison and associated companies.
 Arizona wants the world to know that the site of the Boulder Dam is not in southern California, but in Arizona and skirting Nevada. The fighting state thinks it has some use for power. and that southern Cali fornia isn't entitled to all of il,
 There seems to be an clement O. logic in this contention.

If the former is at fault, how are the costs to be lowered? We pause for an answer, possessing none at hand. High labor costs are not the only factor. The cost of buildings material is astonishingly high; lum- Der is brought to the state from surprising distances; the costs Of financing are fixed and can scarcely be changed.
 Yet there is the frequently proved contention that it is cheaper 10 buy a building than to have one built. or to be ones own builder. With such an unhealthy condition to contend with it will take much shaking of heads and sharpening of pencils to bring the patient back to health.

RIFFS IN REALTY

Because the building and con- struction program of the nation has been tagging during 1929, President Hoover has urged immediate expan- sion. When one examines the Statis- tics, however, one finds that the de- crease in construction during 1929 was due chiefly 10 sharp diminu- ton of building for residential pur- poses. Thus, although all building contracts in the first nine months of 1929 showed a IS per cent decrease in square feet as against those in the first nine months of 1928, the contracts for commercial building showed ' per cent more square feet, and those for industrial buildings Il l-o per cent more.
 What holds back residential con structlon in most cities is the largely held belief. based no doubt upor fact. that the market price of the finished dwellings, are les. as rule than the cost Of production. In other words, that il costs more to con- struct the dwellings than they bring in the market.
 This is an evil Either the costs Of construction are too high or the market price too low.

JUSTICE AS \ SNAIL

In many of the states there are five different judgments necessary before a man can be sentenced to prison for a felony. These five are as follows:
 The police pass judgment when they arrest him, and so does the judge at the preliminary hearing.
 The prosecuting attorney decides whether he will nolle pros.
 The grand jury determines wheth- CT to render a true bill
 Finally there is the trial court.
 Having reached this point the ac- cused, if found guilty. may be sen. tenccd. But that does not end his chances.
 He still has the possibility of an appeal and a rctrial.
 If the accused happens to be a murderer and he is sentenced to bG executed, there still is the oppor- tunity left 10 have the punishment changed to life imprisonment.
 Sometimes this succeeds, and then there still remains an opportunity for pardon or an opportunity 10 es- cape from prison.
 The public's chance of being ade- quately protected from criminals in such states where all of these pos abilities are in force, and in the other states where q good part Of them are a part Of the modus opcrandi, is necessarily slight,
