AGREEMENT ON
WATER PROBLEM
EXPECTED SOON

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5. QU.P)--
Hope for a definite plan whereby
California's proposed S375 900, 900
water construction program can
be started was seen today when
Governor Rolph's water conserva-
ton commission submitted a pro-
posed constitutional amendment to
the joint legislative water commit
tee and when B. S. Crittenden.
chairman Of the latter, said the
two groups were mot far apart"
The proposed constitution amend.
ment, drafted by the governors
commission after they rejected a
proposed amendment drawn up by
the legislators, contained a pro-
vision that any project undertaken
must be proved self-supporting be-
fore work is begun. 1t was on this
point that opposition was expected.
The governors group also sub
mitted a plan for the creation of
a board to arbitrate water disputes
in order to keep them out of the
courts.
The two proposals were being
studied by the legislative commit
tee, which will report to the gov
ernors commission if they accept
them.
Chairman Matt Sullivan of the
governors group said his commit
tee would present proposals for
definite projects for legislation if
the proposed amendment were ap-
proved.
Governor Roilph expressed hope
that the conference would reach
agreement in time for a special
session of the legislature this spring
so the issue could be submitted to
the people next November.

LOWER EFFICIENCY
SEEN IN PAY CUTS
U. S. Employees Would Suffer
Grave Effects, Says
w. |. 0rem, Jr.

The proposed 10 per cent cut in the
pay Of Government employees would
disrupt their personal budgets to a
serious degree, lower their morale and
! thereby adversely affect Government
work, w. L. Orem, jr., president Of
| Edward H. Jones g. Co, Inc, declared
today in a letter to Representative
David j. Lewis of Maryland.
! Il know how carefully the average
Government employe budgets his exist
ence and how fatal cut in his income
| VIII be to his oebt commitments over
/ a period of years. commitments that he
had every right to believe he would be
able to take care OF" Mr.. Orem said.
Admires Careful Plans.
II have a great admiration for the
Government employe who has deliber-
! ately decided to smooth out his life as
nearly as possible, to forego the peaks
| OF prosperity for the maintenance Of
an ordered existence during the periods
OF depression, and I feel strongly that
to cut his pay now would be definite
moral breach of contract by the Gov
ernment.
1T is well known that there is no
opportunity in the Government service
for high financial achievement. The So
called big money" is not there. There
Is, however, a compensating grace in
the service, and that is security Un-
| doubtedly this element is what induces
many able men and women to enter
Government service and remain there.
Now, security implies not only con-
t1nued employment but continued en-
ployment at well established rates. It
Is on this understanding, consciously
created by our Government that able
men and women enter the service.
Once in, they adjust themselves to the
Government scale OF compensation for
good times and bad.
Dollars Buy Less.
"In good times their dollar buys less
Thus during the long high-price period
eliminating In 1929 the Government
employe was compelled to live on
less scale, while in the commercial
world his brother was receiving a higher
scale of pay
Since 1929 prices have been down.
and the Government employees dollar
has about reached the point where it
will get for him those things his COM
mercial brother has been enjoying dur
ing all the prosperous years It Is now
proposed to reduce this compensation.
When prices again rise he will be
compelled to lead a hand-to-mouth ex-
tstence until his pay scale can be ad-
justed upward, always a long, tedious
process"
