country feel that same disgust, sena-

the budget balanced, just as we want
to get to a satisfactory heavan, but

but how to get it.

high dam is completed, a storage re-
servoir made of Grand Coulee, and ir-
rigation canals constructed thererrom
to convey water to the arid lands for
those who settle there to make their
homes-an estimated $4,000 farm
homes.
No individual will question or de-
ny the above in any particular. No one
opposes these developments, EXCEPT
private power interests. All others are
intellectually and enthusiastically
FOR them-out in this part of the
United States.
The discouraging thing about it is
that there is such vast part of the
people in other parts of the country
who are unfamiliar with the PROPOSE
tions and whose minds are being pois-
oned by the private power company
interests and by the POLITICAL enc
mics of the Roosevelt administration,
that the probability and possibility of
securing appropriations from congress
to complete the projects are overshad-
owed by big question mark.
This brings us down to "brass
tacks," viz: Whose projects are the
Grand Coulee dam and the Columbus
basina Without thinking the average
man will answer: "Ours; the people
of Washington. - But that's true only
in one sense. We promoted them, have
been and are working for them. But
we didn't START construction work
on them ROOSEVELT DID THAT.
Every man. woman and child able
to think and appreciate q simple fact,
knows that President Roosevelt is I'M
equivocally determined to complete
our projects if it remains within his
power to do so. No one else on earth in
absolute authority to do great things
for the people and by will of the peo-
pie, is loyal friend to these prof.
ects EXCEPT ROOSEVELT, because
he is our only president.
1t is strange, indesd-ISN IT IT.
that today, right here in Spokane,
the one exclusive spot that is to prof
it greatest by the building of the
Grand Coulee dam and the reclama-
ton of the Columbia basin, you find
some men SO politically blind and pref
udiced or so unbelievably ignorant
and dumb, that they can't appreciate
the situation and seek to defeat Roose-
welt for reelection. Some of these men
are business and professional men who
will suffer financial ruin if the Colum-
bia dam project fails, because Spokane
will fall along with it and the invest
ments of these men will shrink away
along with those of others.

RECORD CROWD ASSURED
FOR ARMY-NAVY BATTLE
DESPITE Denials, 1886 Cridiron Game Is Slated
for Sesquicentennial Stadium With
Capacity Enlarged to 10000.

and Navy drew 10000; in 1880 Army
and Notre Dame drew 10000; in
1927 Southern California and Notre
Dame played before ,306 and in
1928 Navy and Notre Dame thrilled
03,0Sl.
All of these games were played at
Soldiers Field and it may be signif-
icant that one or both of the service
teams appeared in three. There would
be no doubt of filling the Sesquicenten-
nial Stadium even if it were enlarged
to seat a couple hundred thousands.
Washington Greatly Concerned.
IN seeking a large stadium in the
East, Army and Navy are giving
less thought, probably, to financial re-
turns than to the accommodation OF
/ the public The disposition OF tickets
for the service battle ever has been a
task frought with trial. With the
contest staged at the SeSquicentennial
| plant instead of Franklin Field, there
would be about $4,000 fewer disap-
pointed than last year when $1,000
were accommodated.
Washington would receive the shift
of stadiums with particular salts
faction. for the Capital is a center for
members of the Army and Navy ath-
letic associations, and the larger the
stadium the bigger the allotments of
tickets to members
Another angle of especial interest
to Washington is the prospect of OBJ
tanning a giant stadium here. The
Navy unoficially is on record as
favoring Washington for its home
games and should the Capital acquire
an athletic plant big enough-say Of
the dimensions of the Sesquicentennial
Stadium-it would be reasonable to
look for the game to become more or
less of a Capital City fixture.

BY the Associated Press,
YEw YORK, January IT,


n YEw YORK, January l7.-Foot
M ball will become an easier
" game to understand and a
harder one to score if the sug-
gestion of the Eastern Association tf
Foot Ball Off1cials are adopted by the
Rules Committee.
Radical changes in the scoring sys-
TEN and Qualification and simplif1ca-
ton of some of the lesser rules were
the high lights of the dozen suggeS-
tions from experienced arbiters sent to
Walter r. Okeson of Lehigh, chair
man of the National Rules Committee,
by william R. Crowley of New York
president Of the association.
Crowley advocated the return of the
goal posts to the goal lines and adop-
tion of a system of prompt announce
ments on all rulings.
The scoring suggestion is similar to
that proposed several years ago by
Glenn S. (Pop) Warner. Temple Uni
versity coach. The changes are that
the point after touchdown should be
