yard so that transmission losses will
be negligible. Purely as a power
resource or falling water without
the investment of any money, this
power ought to be worth an amount
of money at least equivalent to the
annual payments to the United
States.
AS we have already seen, the
community will save in handling
of silt more every year than the
payments to the United States will
amount to and in addition the dis
trict should receive revenue from
its power in an amount that would
at least be equivalent to the an
nual payments to the United States.
It seems entirely certain therefore
that the canal will add no addi-
tional burden whatever but will ac-
tually tighten the financial bur-
den that now exists and in addition
the community will have the bene-
fit of desilted water, control of its
own water supply, and the assur-
ance of an adequate amount of wa
ter at all times from storage at
Hoover Dam.
CoachelIa Caused Delay
The contract that was voted
upon last February had provision
that it should not become effec-
tive until certain lands, including
oachella Valley, should be includ-
ed within the district. After that
contract was approved by five to
one vote, organized opposition de-
veloped in the Coachella Valley with
the result that a petition for in
clusion has not been filed. That
requirement is now eliminated and
the contrast which you are voting
on tomorrow becomes Immediately
effective and provides that Goa
chella may petition for inclusion
within specified time. If the petit
ton is filed within that time, then
those lands are to be received, un-
der the conditions set out in the
contract. If the petition is not
filed within that time then those
lands are not to be taken into the
district and the works for their
benefit are not to be constructed
and the balance of the works are
to be reduced in capacity. There
are a few other minor changes in
the contract to conform, but nc
, other changes in substance.
1t seems that the All-Americar
canal is of vital necessity to this
community. The contract has beer
carefully prepared to bring about
that result. 1t is exceptionally IA
vorable to the district and is 6
good contract that ought to be ap-
proved by everyone interested il
the growth and development of this
community.
Tomorrow is election day. A large
vote is desirable This work shoulc
proceed with great diligence. 1t il
needed as a step in solving the un'
employment situation. There will
never be a time doubtless, whel
the work can be done at as low {
cost as now and bear in mind thu
district pays the cost and nothing
more.

Do Believe, However, Adminis-

Pay Too Much

Fargo, N. D., May 5.-lP!-Back In
Fargo after 19-day swing through
North Dakota in which departmental
officers of the American Legion adj
dressed former servicemen, Jack Will
liams, state adjutant declared Fri
day, abundant rain fall, rising wheat
prices and general ideal seeding con-
ditions had buoyed spirits of the state
to high pitch.
DR.. H. S. Kredler of Wahpeton,
state commander, and T. O. Kraabel,
veterans service commissioner, and
Williams made the tour, which in
cluded addresses to IL different meet
ings and conference with Williston
Legion officers on the state conven-
ton July 10 and II in Williston.
The meetings were described by
Williams as means of educating"
former service men and the North Da-
kota public on the newly-enacted
national economy bill which reduced
veteran benefits $2,0000 900 in the state.
Williams said a general misunder-
standing exists on the reduced money
available for aid in world war soldiers.
Clearing up another misconception,
Williams explained the Legion offic-
ials were not attacking President
Roosevelt.
Rather, he said, I'VE pointed out
to the district gatherings that the
veteran has suffered an unfair reduc-
ton.
1--WE carried this message through
out North Dakota. We noted q shift
ing Of sentiment to the veterans. That
was our objective. We must get this
change in viewpoint for the veteran
before congress and President Roose-
welt.
1.-THE Legion is for Roosevelt. We
agreed to his necessity for reducing
expenditures. But the extent to which
the reduction was carried at the ex-
pense of the veterans was beyond our
conception. There must be re-adjust-
ments. We feel that those read
justments will be made by the presi-
dent and by Congress when they dis
cover the wrong done the former sold
ierS."

est level in the present century, Is
leading to precautionary policies
which rapidly are approaching specu-
lative activity in some operations"
the survey asserts. The reports of
unmistakable revival in commercial
and industrial activity do not ema-
nate from the few isolated districts
but are nationwide in their scope.
1.-THE duration of the buying move
ment, however. is difficult to gauge,
as in some quarters, at least. 1t Is
attributable to the desire to shift
money from banks to raw materials
and fabricated products, with the
strength Of consumer buying yet to
be tested. Not all of the advances Of
the commodities can be traced to in
flationary moves, as the rise Of many
staples has been supported by q
strong statistical base and the con-
tinued broadening of general BUSH
ness improvement which has provided
a sound foundation for fir1ner price
structure.

ECONOMIST POUNDS
RECOVERY FORECAST
ON RECENT HISTORY
Today Is 18th Anniversary Of
Beginning Of Great Price
Decline

Chicago, May 5.-E-Some coinci.
uences Of recent economic history
stood out In bright relief FRIDAY
FOR this Is the 18th anniversary
said FRANKLIN Hobbs, Chicago eco
nomist, OF the start Of the recent
great price decline.
And the three precious price decline
periods as far back as the American
Revolution have lasted around Is
years each, he asserted.
The last period Of falling values for
all the raw materials which 20 to
make up modern commerce and In
dustry, began, Hobbs, said, May 5.
1920. -
1t started that day with a slightly
noticed drop in sugar quotations,
Sugar fell five cents a pound within
week.
Other raw materials followed suit
ana Continued to recede from post
war valuations, Hobbs said, until
wheat quotations reached lows not
touched since the middle ages in Eng
land. Other grains rivalled wheat,s
performance, Tin, copper, livestock,
coffee. rubber, and all the other in
oustrially-used raw products reached
bottom figures unplumbed in modern
times.
Even during the stock market boom
years OF 1928-29 the index price was
cropping for raw materials, the only
temporary recoveries in the 10 years
occurring, he said, during 1922 and
1924.
Since early this year the trend has
ranged upward slightly, Hobbs said.
accelerated the last m onth by the ad-
mlnistration's financial policies.
Turning to other deflationary Pc
RODS, Hobbs said it was IL and one
halt years after the war Of 1912 be-
fore the upturn came. It took 10
years after the end of the Civil War
to round the corner of deflation.
And now it's Is years, he said, since
sugar started the trip down the to-
boggan.
