WATER PLANS

The drought in the West this
year may hasten long-considered
plans for a gigantic development
of water resources in the Missouri
Valley.
The project is expected to be de-
veloped in connection with Presi.
dent Roosevelt's proposal for a
definite plan for conservation of
water resources throughout the
nation.
A start has been made in the
allotment of $25,000,000 of Public
Works Administration funds for
construction of the Fort Peck dam
and reservoir in Montana to con-
troll the flood flow and distribute
it during the low-Water season for
the benefit of navigation.
Another project being urged in
the Northwest is the Missouri di'
version plan, under which water
would be diverted from the river
to Devils Lake, North Dakota, and
thence through rivers into South
Dakota and perhaps Nebraska.

he stated shortly prior TO his de-
parture:
"In my opinion there are
three factors that have been
responsible for the increase in
the association membership in
the past three years.
First, is the elimination of
the SIS initiation fee; second, is
the elimination of the rule
which required that a new
member must have been an ac-
tive practitioner for five years,
and last, but not least, the re-
duction of the dues from $40 to
$40 a year."

The letter was dated at Anchorage on February 28, but it was not post marked at Anchorage until March B.

Fascists Seek sEMiIitarism''
 But Not Arms, Is Claim Made
By JOHN LLOYD

ROME, April 3.-Fascism has set itself the task of making Italy over into a military nation
 This term, Italian Government spokesmen say, should not be con- fused with armed nation They differeniate between the two as follows
 A military nation" is one whose citizens are fitted to pass from pacific labor to wartime activities without having to overcome mental or spiritual barriers. It's fighting men, when the time comes, can fall back easily into civil life.
 Armed nation" is an abused phrase lending itself to false inter- pretations. In the "jargon of Gen. eva" it signifies alert militarism, naughty and provocative
 Like Ancient Rome
 General Alberto Baldini, former head of the Press Bureau of the War Department and now editor of the review Army and Nation, " gave these definitions in the semi official wspaper Il Giornale D'Italia.
 He declared that the Duce's re- cent order making military instruc- ticn obligatory in all schools will build up the type of nation de- sired The ancient Roman empire owed it's glory to just such training of it's citizenry, he said.
 Although he described the Gen. eva version of an armed nation as the very antipodes" of the Musso- linian policy, he added that the Duce's aim is to establish a fundamental identity betw cen the Italian public philosophy md the military spirit"
 Begins in Primary Sc'iools
 The obligatory instructor will apply in primary schools and on up through the universities. In the earlier grades it will consist mostly of training to mold the youthful mind to regard military studies as spiritual recreation"
 Drilling will come in higher grades while the mental develop ment goes on apace. Teachers of geography will explain the facilities for defense and mass troop maneu- vers of the country's physical char acte-istics. History teachers will stress the Fascist contention that military Reorganization in the past was due to the inefficiency of Ib- eral government.

JUNEAU VOTERS BALLOTINc FOR
 CITY OFFICIALS
Springlike Weather Favors Big Vote, But Rate Is
 Normal at } PM.

An almost perfect springtlme weather, Juneau's voters were turn ing out today to elect a Mayor, three members of the City Coun- Gil and one School Director. With two complete councilmanic tickets in the field and an extra candidate for the City Council workers were busy in lal precincts endeavoring to get out a record vote.
 Conflicting claims were prevalent at midafternoon as to the outcome. Workers for each side claimed a victory for their entire ticket, while the supporters of John E. Green, running alone for Councilman, as- serted he was as good as elected. Impartial observers predicted an unusually close election.
 Voting About Normal
 The rate of balloting was about normal up to pm. at which hour total of TIA out of a registra- ton of 1864 had been boiled. This is less than AT per cent of the total potential vote. Last year at the same hour slightly more than IT per cent of the registration, or SIS, had voted

 In Precinct No ?, at the same hour, the vote was 264, or 53 per cent of the total registration there which was 503.

MELLON KNEW TAX LAW

Many people in Washington will be surprised if anything comes of the income-tax proceedings against Andrew w. Mellon.
 As practical proposition, it is pointed out that through his ex- perience as Secretary of the Treas ury, MT. Mellon knew the tax laws and knew what he was doing when he filed his returns. Tn addition he had the constant advice of able lawyers.
 The government itself never has said it had proof of wrong doing The White House was careful to emphasize that the matter simply would be put before grand jury and the jurymen left to make their own decision.
 Charges against the former Sec retary had been made repeatedly in Congress, and the case had been kicking around in the government files for long time. It seems to be the hope on both sides that the present proceedings will get rid oi 1t one way or another

Bmalshead Blu to Regulate Cotton Production May Hold
 Key to ''Paternalism" Issue
By BYRON PRICE (Chief Of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

(Chief Of Bureau, The Associated
 Press, Washington)
 No previous new deal7 proposal has drawn a sharper issue in Con gress than the Bankhead cotton bill. The contest raised what many regard as the key question of these times, and raised it in a manner understandable to almost everyone.
 The bill would permit the Secre- tary of Agriculture to say exactly how much cotton any farmer would be permitted to market without penalty in any year.
 Much of the debate turned on the broader question: shall the Government at Washington be em- powered to tell individual citizens what they can and cannot do with their property, what they can SOW and reap, what they can manufacture, what they can buy and sell.
 Administration spokesmen pro- tested that no such sweeping plan was in contemplation, but no one denies there are Administration economists who believe that only by a system of economic compul- sion can full recovery be attained
 The same question promises to crop up in many different guises before the issue finally is settled.
