BOULDER CASH TAKEN OFF
ARIZONA

Governor Moeur announced in
Washington Tuesday that he
had succeeded ia having $l4 900.
600 of Boulder Dam money re.
moved from the list of items
charged against Arizona's relief
allotments. That straightens
cut a matter that created amaze
ment in this state when Interior
Secretary Ickes. who also is pub
lie works administrator, reveal
ed in a letter to Henry S. Nc
Cluskey, Phoenix attorney. that
Arizona was charged with ap
proximately $29. 100000 in allot'
ments.
The state could account for
about SIS, 900, 600 as having been
allotted. leaving mysterious
difference Of $l4,000.000 that
could not be accounted for.
Furthey inquiry developed the
information that this sum had
been charged to Arizona in con-
nection With Boulder Dam.
How any Washington official
could be dumb enough to think
that Arizona, relentless foe of
Boulder Dam, would stand for
any part of the cost of that ob.
noxious enterprise being charg
ed to this state is beyond the
comprehension of any ordinary
mortal.
The fact that Governor Moeur
succeeded in setting the boys
right" on this item is of great
importance. It proves that Ari.

BORAH ASSAIL.S
DEBT PROPOSAL
Lump Sum Payment of No

He Asserts.

man William E. Borah of the senate

condemned lump sum war debts
settlement on the ground that it
would be of no lasting benefit to
the United States.
Meanwhile, House Majority Lead
err Henry T. Rainey dismissed lump
sum payment proposals as sheer
nonsense"
Shown London dispatches regard
ing European proposals to pay up
wards of $1,O0O,OOO, in final set
tlement of the original $12,000,000,-
coo claim, Borah SAID:
81 am not interested in any plan
which deals with the debts which
doesn't include adjustment Of the
currency question and certain other
problems which stand in the way OF
opening world markets and restor-
ing trade and commerce"
"A lump sum payment would not
do us any good of a permanent ma
ture unless we can find markets and
restore the purchasing power of the
people" Borah said.
Borah consistently has insisted
that any debt settlements must deal
with currency, ornaments, and trade
barriers. He feels that demonetiza-
ton of silver had adversely affected
American foreign trade and that the
silver question must be approached
by international agreement if it is tc
be dealt with at all.
