HALF BILLION
Copyright. 1894. By International
News Service)

CCopyriRht, 1894 By International
News Ssrvtcs)
The Federal Government through
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration has acquired a halt-bn'
lion dollar part ownership in the
nations banking structure.
In addition to this direct, au'
thorized interest through invest
ment in preferred stocks, capital
notes and debentures and loans
on preferred stocks, the RFC has
another stake in collateral loans
of more than TOO million dollars
to banks.
Both Large and Small
The Governments interest en-
braces both some Of the largest
and smallest banks Of the nation,
and has been increasing steadily
since Congress authorized the in
vestment on March "a, 1888.
Through the RFC investments,
Uncle Sam has an ownership ap-
preaching one-sixth of the capital
of all banks as disclosed in the
last annual report of the Comp
troller of the Currency.
While officials of the RFC have
disclaimed any intention Of inter-
fering with bank and trust COM
pany operations, the huge invest
ment places the Government in q
position to WELD powerful influ-
ence in shaping the affairs Of the
financial institutions.
Expansion is Expected
With the Administrator driving
hard to induce banks to sell pre-
ferred stock to the RFC to pro-
vide capital to revive industry, it
is expected that the policy will be
expanded rapidly.
More than 2,4OO banks are
shown to have obtained funds
from the RFC, besides direct loans
on the usual collateral. The total
is about one-Sixth of all national
and state banks and trust COM
panies.
During the 10-month period
only is banks cancelled their sale
Of preferred stock and two can
celled their sale of capital deben-
lures.
The half billion dollar owner
ship includes over Is MILAN dol
lars Of loans on preferred stock
authorized, over 225 million dol
lars in preferred stock purchases
and more than 227 million dollars
in authorized purchase of capital
notes and debentures.
Now Buying Insurance Stocks
While the total includes both
actual investments and authorize
tionS. up to December 81, iC is
understood that it has been in
creased by actual purchases made
during January.
The December statement of the
RFC shows outstanding total
loans to banks on usual collateral
Of Sill, ,424,601, and loans, the
the proceeds of which were not
yet disbursed, of 167,333,774.

HEARST STAND

William Randolph Hearst yes
terday was congratulated by Sen
ator Thomas D. Schall (R0, Of
Minnesota, for his stand in oppo-
Sition to the Presidents request
for power to negotiate tariff reci'
procity treaties.
Schan said:
"Mr. Hearst has well de-
scribed the intentions Of our
President aS casually asking
Congress for power personally
to negotiate and conclude tariff
treaties without their submis-
sion to the Senate for ratifica-
tiOn, without recommendations
or guidance by the Tariff Com
mission, without check from
any quarter, without the con-
Currence of any other person or
official body, without revealed
method, or proven principle, or
established precedent or even
thorough survey of the facts
This is the issue for which
our fathers fought in 1776. Are
we ready to surrender 3 prin-
ciple that has been the rock
foundation of liberty through
out our history?

KNOCKS ST0RK
FOR A LOOP

After taking 1t on the lug, as the
prizefighters say, all year long, the
old Grim Reaper managed to put
over a victory on Doc Stork in El
Centre during August.
The old boy with the scythe had
four notches on his gun during the
month, while the best the popular
bird could do was one new arrival.
Going down to defeat with Doc
was the boy brigade, which suffer-
ed a shutout, to use another sport
ing term. The only birth recorded
during the month was a Mexican
girl.
The statistics resulted in DR..
Warren F. Fox, city health officer,
who compiled them, being called
ION the carpet" The doctor fell
down pretty hard during August
and was told SO in no uncertain
terms. Such neglect of the nation IS
most important business rates a
courtmartial or a drumhead trial.
The doctor was let off with a
solemn promise to see that the bird
wins this months bout Che didn It
say how and even stretched a
point by pledging shutout for the

ARIZONA At
POLLS TODAY
Ashurst And Moeur Facing Hard
Battles To Retain Their Pres
ent Offices.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. II. U.P)-
With all candidates avowing sup
port of the new DEAL" Arizona
Democrats cast ballots today to
nominate U. S. senator, represen-
tative and governor.
The primary was marked by the
heaviest Democratic registration
in history. One out of every AS
registered voters was seeking some
political office.
Henry F. Ashurst, facing his
first major fight to retain the seat
in the senate he has held % years,
was opposed by Sidney P. Osborn,
former chairman of the state
Democratic committee; REM L.
Jennings, Maricopa county attor-
ney; William Coxon, former legis-
lator, and Col. G. H. Rutherford,
war department attache in scharge
of civilian military training. The
veteran incumbent was favored to
win the nomination.
Republican opposition was lack
ing. The Republicans, with only a
negligible chance Of electing a
major official in this rock-ribbed
Democratic state, will nominate a
slate of candidates at state con-
vention later this fall.
Isabella Greenway, personal
friend of President Roosevelt, was
an overwhelming favorite to re-
tain her congressional seat. Little
opposition was expected to develop
from the candidacy of her lone OPP
ponent, Frank Hilgeman, Phoenix
farm leader.
A belated campaign to write In"
the nomination of Lewis Douglas,
former congressman and recently
resigned director of the federal
budget, was abandoned at Doug
las insistence.
A spirited contest lay between
former Governor George w. P.
Hunt and DR.. B. B. Moeur, in
cumbent, in the gubernatorial race.
Hunt, seven times governor, was
defeated by Moeur two years ago
but was optimistic that he would
recoup his political fortune today.
Moeur on the other hand was
equally sanguine.
In addition to the major offices,
scores of state, county and local
posts were being sought by 5000
men and women candidates

PROBATION Of
WATER TAKEN
Up BY BOARD

Growers and shippers of the
valley were scheduled to meet with
the irrigation district board of di-
rectors this afternoon to discuss
the question of water proration
during the present valley water
shortage.
A similar meeting was held yes
terday afternoon at the conclus-
ion of which the directors unani-
mously adopted a resolution which
called for the proration of irriga-
ton water according to acreage as
soon as the district operating de-
partment could put the same into
effect. The question of prior rights
to the water now in the irrigation
district IS canals has long been
brought to the attention of the di-
rectorate.
Dairymen, grapefruit growers,
lettuce growers, vegetable growers
and representatives from almost
every branch of the valleys great
agricultural industry, have appear
ed before the board stressing their
claims to prior rights to this wat
er because of the nature of their
individual enterprises. To the
present the board of directors have
taken no definite stand to indi-
cate to which of these particular
groups prior rights to the water
should be assigned.

OFFERS PLAN TO FLOOD VALLEY
Washington 'Crackpot' Would Get Us Rain
By Drowning Us Out

Valley is to figure out why rain
would result from the project.
In reply Hays pointed out that
flooding Imperial Valley would
make some $4,000 persons homeless
and that the water over the cities
in the northern part Of the valley
would be pretty deep. He also stat
ed that "it would not be necessary to
bring canal all the way from
San Pedro because the Colorado
river can, and has several times,
very effectually filled Imperial
Valley, a condition which construc-
tion of Boulder dam and the ALL
American canal is eliminating. -
Hays states that since the present
water shortage commenced the
chamber has received innumerable
letters with suggestions as to how
to get water, some more or less
practical, others obviously too ex-
pensive a process to be undertaken.
This last letter from Washington
is the most amazing plan of all,
however, and undoubtedly was
written " a man who had no con-
ception of the geography Of South
ern California nor the agricultural
wealth of Imperial Valley.
