COLORADO WATER
pasadena Post)


Arizona, whose attitude of hostility to
various phases of Colorado river develop
ment has been thorn in the side of the
association Of other basin states, received
a bit CT sound advice from Northcutt Ely,
former assistant secretary Of the interior,
who warned AriZOnianS and also resi-
dents and officials of other interested
states that unless they stop wrangling
and unite for concerted action to protect
their rights they may find themselves
seriously hampered by Mexican claims to
the water that soon will be flowing thru
the turbines at Boulder dam at the rate
Of 100000 acre feet per year
IF Mexico is ready to use water before
our lands are, whether in Arizona or Cali
fornia, she builds up claims which will
be difficult to reject in the negotiation Of
d treaty. sad Mr. Ely.
Here is proposal worthy of earnest
thought.
For years the Pacific Southwest has
been looking forward to the boon that
would come through the harnessing of
Colorado river water and its conservation
for irrigation purposes. Now that the
great day approaches, are the lower basin
states ready to utilize this water and
power to the greatest good? The inquiry
is especially pertinent to Arizona.
At the rate water is piling up back of
Boulder dam, Lake Mead will be full a
year hence, and the complete benefits
Of a mammoth project then will be avail

Bruce Carton Says
= Concerning the High Cost Of Being Stupid

Y than they ever did before. The
rise of a dictator the fall OF cur
rency, the closing OF an industry,
the failure of crop-all OF these
things send their effects winging
around the world with unimagin-
able speed, and no man can get
far enough away to escape the
ripples they create.
Which simply means that 1t
costs more to make a mistake
now than it used to. Any error in
our handling of human relations
and such errors are inevitable, for
human relations themselves have
grown infinitely more complex
exacts of us a penalty such as our
grandfathers would not have
dreamed of.
In plain English, we live in the
sort of world now which demands
that we be smarter people than we
used to be. The price of survival
is higher; the tax on stupidity and
carelessness has gone up through
the roof.
All of which may not be espe-
cially ACKNOWLEDGEMENT that it
does indicate that our troubles do
not arise because We are more stu
pid or more perverse than our
forefathers were. To put it more
simply, we have not deteriorated,
and our troubles are not a pro
duct of some mass disintegration.
The main thing is to realize that
we need to be more alert. less
emotional, more intelligent-and
try to guide ourselves accordingly.

Laundries in England, like plum
bers have long suffered unmeri-
ted attackes from the wags; but
in the charge Brought against
them recently by correspondent in
The Times Of London, there was
some justice as well as wit. He
complained that they return the
stiff shirt with its stub holes her
metlcally sealed.
II cannot be denied. As the
hour OF dining approaches, con-
flict develops up and down the
land, scissors are drawn, tin open
ers yielded. panic is apt to occur.
and happy the man who finds n
breach honored in the Observance.
What is the result? Too often the
stiff upper lip produces limp
shirt, or, if it has been war to the
knife, garment rent in despair
No doupt there are some who
are priVatly OF opinion that the
shirt Of Nessus was a hard boiled
one, and who feel that a knight in
shining armor is an anachor-
nism; but to the conventional it
still proves a certain social stand
ing and it will BE- long before the
supporters of the triumphal starch
give way.
In the circumstances, therefore,
necessities, even those who i'm
igine with the French that "one
must suffer to be beautiful" will
unite in pleading with the laund-
ries to reduce the suffering to
minimum

Although there is little enough
on the horizon these days to
create optimism, it might be a
sound idea to inquire whether we
are really as badly off as our
homegrown Jeremiahs seem to be-
lieve.
You can neither turn on your
radio nor pick up your magazine
or neWpaper nowadays without
hearing someone complain that we
are in dire danger We are about
to lose all of our liberties. or we
are slipping over the edge of the
precipice into war, or our econmic
system in indulging in the last la
bored breathing that precedes
final extinction; and the implica-
ton is that we somehow are pref
ty stupid and unworthy people to
let ourselves get into such a mess
Now it is perfectly true that We
are in a bad mess, and there is no
use in pretending otherwise. But
the thing isn't altogether our fault,
and we might be quicker about the
business of getting out of this
mess if We could understand just
where the trouble lies.
The principal trouble seems to
be the fact that we have moved
into a world that makes more de-
mands on its human inhabitants
than it ever did before.
It is a densely populated world
which has added to the ordinary
problems of overcrowding a brand
new set of problems arising out OF
speedy communications and an un-
imaginably complex and intricate
set of economic and political re
lationshlps.
It is a world, in other words, in
which the consequences of mems
acts run farther and more swift
