YOUNG-HEWES WATER PROGRAM
OUTLINED BY ITS SPONSORS

Following is a digest of the
Young Hewes water plan as pre-
scented to the district board of di-
rectorS yesterday:
This plan for the collection of
both water tolls and water assess
ments of the Imperial Irrigation
District would permit the farmer
or land owner and the irrigation
district as well, to budget the items
set forth herein, throughout the
year. This plan has been evolved by
us after years of study of the sub
ject Since we have been able to
put this plan in concrete form, we
have submitted it to many farm
erS, land owners, realtors, business
men and financierS, and it has met
with almost universal approval.
Many local farmers and business
men are as enthusiastic in their
support of this plan as is either OF
us.
This is, in a sense, a "budgeting
plan" and it would do away with
the present practice of collecting
water IOllS vi ItlC UctSlo Vi lllCeiOCai SNs
feet of water delivered, which we
all know is never accurate. We
would first abolish the 25-cents per
day daily charge during the water
runs, which is nothing more nor less
than a nuisance charge. We would
substitute therefor a flat standby
charge of 1872 cents per acre per
month, for which all necessary wa
ter would be delivered to the
lands. In this arrangement, reas-
enable rules and regulations would
be made to prevent undue waste OF
water. All lands within the district
will be able to pay this amount
and by reason of the assessment
based on valuation, the best land
be given no advantage over poor
lands This plan includes also the
collection of an assessment of $1.2O
per 500 valuation, this to be paid
in equal semi-annual installments
and the standby charge to be paid
monthly. These two items would
provide sufficient finances to OPP
crate and maintain the system.

Decline To Make Payments
Due On War Debts.

Italy Follows Example Of Eng
land And Sends Small Amount
As Token.

WASHINGTON, June Is. UP) =
Three European countries dcfaulted
their June war debt installments to-
day while Great Britain and Italy
made partial payments of the
amount due.
The defaults totaled more than
$50,000000. The defaulting nations
were France, Poland and Belgium.
AS these countries notified the
American government that the pay
ments would not be made, the
United Press learned that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is still determined
to insist upon at least partial pay
ment before any final settlement CT
the debt question will be made with
defaulting countries.
The Italian government, adopting
tactics similar to the British, noti-
fled President Roosevelt in for
NAL note that 100000 was being
forwarded as token" payment.
This is less than 10 per cent of the
$13545, 438 due in principal and
interest.
French ambassador De La Boul-
aye, delivering mis- governments note
in explanation Of the default, in
oicated that his government is anx-
ious to convince President RooSe-
welt that a final settlement should
be made. 1t was understood that
the American reaction to the French
note, scheduled for publication later
in the day, would greatly influence
the French attitude toward payment
of defaulted installments and flu
ture settlement
Debtor nations sent their ENJOYS
in a steady stream to the state de-

Votes To Support Roosevelt
On Veterans Compromise.
USE OF VETO THREATENED
Chief Executive Determined To

Disputed Measure.

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June 15.-House
Democrats today voted ITO to IS
to stand by President Roosevelt's
veterans compromise and send the
independent offices bill to confer
ence.
The decision of the caucus was
not a Climbing Vote but merely
an expression of opinion.
WASHINGTON, June Is. UP)-
President Roosevelt was ready to-
day to exercise his veto power to
subdue a recalcitrant senate which
has broken openly with him over
reduction of war veterans compen-
sation.
The senate rebellion flared to a
climax last night when, by a vote
of 81 to 80, it added 100000, 900
more to veterans funds.
The house was summoned to
meet at 10 a. m. with leaders eX-
pecting it to agree to the amend
ment, thus clearing the way for
veto which apparently will put
the senate at the mercy of the
White House. There was the pos
sibility, however, of effort for a
further compromise to avert
veto.
The break between house and
senate was abrupt but not angry.
For the first time in years, all sem
ate Republicans voted the same
way-against the administration.
| WASHINGTON, June Is. U.P)-
Senate Majority Leader Robinson
! today pronounced the odds 9 to /
that congress would adjourn before
midnight.
The majority leader said he be-
lieved an agreement on veterans
compensation would be presented
to the senate in the early hours of
! this evening.
WASHINGTON, June IS. fU.Pj-
The house voted today to sustain
Presidency sRoosevelt's compromise
economy program.
BY roll call vote, the chamber re-
fused to accept the liberalizing
Steiwer- Cutting senate amendment,
which would have eliminated ap-
proximately $130,000,000 in savings
previously ordered by the White
! House.
The vote was 2O8 to TT.

Visibility was poor here today

The distance from Khabarovsk to

It is considered the most danger

aerial route. The route lies along
the Arctic wastes of extreme north
eastern Siberia and across the Ber-

Possibility that James Mattern
would not be able to land here if
he conquers the hazardous Khab-
arovsk- Nome leg of his world flight
was seen when light fog covered
the Nome area early today.
If the landing field at Solomon,
IL miles east of here, is obscured,
it was believed he may attempt to
bring his plane down at some tenn
porary landing field nearby.
Overcast skies and low visibility
made flying conditions poor over
night. The weather was less incle-

when freezing temperatures and

BARUCH SCOFFS
At GOSSIP HE'S
j. s. ADVISER
Has No Intention. of Using
MoIey's Office and Won't
Usurp Anyone'S Powers

Bernard M. Baruch, the noted
New York financier. today de-
Scribed as "all news to him" the
announcement by Assistant Sec
retary of State Raymond Moley
that he was to become unofficial
adviser to President Roosevelt.
Expressing astoniShment at re-
ports that he would occupy
Moley's offices at the State De-
partment and would virtually be-
come unofficial President of the
United States pending Mr.. Roose-
velt'S return from his vacation.
Baruch informed the International
News Service that he had no in
tention of doing anything of the
kind.
Origin of Impression
He said he had been asked by
the President to draw up a mem
orandum on some phases Of the
economic situation. Moley, he
added, had graciously offered him
the use of his offices in the State
Department because they were
cool, and would be vacant during
Moley'S absence in London.
Moley had added, Baruch said,
that he might wish to consult
him during his stay in London,
and would probably send the dis
patches through the State De
partment.
The New York financier, who
has long been known as a figure
behind the scene in national af-
fairs, said he had no intention Of
reading State Department conf
dental messages unless his opin-
ion was requested on some specific
point.
He added he did not believe a
private citizen had a right to
peruse State Department docu-
ments at will unless he had taken
an oath of office, and had some
responsibility.
"News To Him"
The announcement that Baruch
would become unofficial adviser
to the President and occupy State
Department offices was made by
Moley prior to his departure Mon
day en- route to London.
Baruch said the announcement
was all news to him." and he
believed Moley's statement must
have been misunderstood. He en-
phaSized he had no intention OF
occupying Moley's office.
When it was pointed out that
Moleys announcement led to
speculation that Baruch would be-
come virtually the figure behind
the throne at Washington, the ii
nancier merely smiled and shook
his head.
He requested international News
Service to clear the apprehension
that he intended to WELD any
governmental power and explain
that he merely intended to give
his views on some phases Of the
economic situation to the PreSi
dent.
