Summer Rains or
More Dams Needed

Florence, Coolidge, Sacaton want
a dam near Hayden to catch the
San Pedro river flood waters. and
the rainy cycle is the unanimous
hope Of everyone, the end all OF
every problem. An exchange gives
these figures:
"The U. S. weather bureau shows
from the average of 1913 stations in
Arizona that the state is entitled
to 1891 inches of rain a year. That
is the 44-year average. Last year
the state got 1928 inches. Casa
Grande's normal average is S.3
inches; last year it got 5.95 inches
Last year, by the quirk of fate
San Carlos got 1917 inches which
Is over the normal by 1.5 inches
yet the lake is dry. Florence got
$50 inches last year, as against its
longtime average of 9S inches.
Stafford has had weather station
for only year so there are nc
figures with which to compare its
SOB inches Of last year
Forty days and forty nights
Lord didn't it rain?" is now the
fervent prayer of every farmer
rancher, business man and citizen
along the water shed They hope
the day may soon come when they
may sing that spiritual in the past
tense as they look over their lush
fields.
When all these hopes have been
discussed the farmer turns to the
expectation of returning high prices
for his crops, to renewed interna
tional trade, to gigantic shipments
of cotton overseas, to some un'
named miracle that will change
everything. Now this will come
about in the face of world condi-
tions he does not know. He hopes
Some hope it will be by free trade
some by high tariffs. Just get the
prices up. No one blames him for
the hope.

Congress to Run Into August:

Hopes for an early adjournment
of Congress have been dissipated
through a recent conference be-
tween House and Senate demo
cratic leaders with the President
1t is understood that at least four
measures are on the Must" list to
be acted upon before Congress ad-
journs. These four "musts" are
changes in the Security Act, taxes,
neutrality and relief. August 18th
is now viewed by numerous old
time members as the earlist pos
sible date for accomplishing this
program. The administration pro-
gram for neutrality legislation to
permit the President full power
to say how, when and on whom the
United States shall act, will meet
with very determined opposition
in the Senate.

The Low Down
From Hickory Grove

A feller does not need much OF
a memory to bark back to when it
was next door neighbor to being a
disgrace, to be beggar.
But this world, she moves, and
fast. And times change. And now
being a beggar, it is a badge Of
distinction. Like if you are
Mayor of some city and you &C
down to Wash. and you tell 'em
there how many votes you can
scare up for them, and they give
you 2 millions to build a bigger
fish-pond in your park, you are
some pumpkins. And you get re-
elected your ownself-at next cleo
ton.
And if you only get one million
instead Of 2 million, you are poor
excuse of Mayor.
And with Governors, it is like
wise.
And the money they dish up
down there in Old Bazoo City, it is
our own money in the first place.
We are a great outfit, thinking we
are getting something from the
other guy.
1t is a kind of ring-around-the
rosey-like back in P. T. Barnum's
time; and when we get home, we
are the yokel again = and our
watch and chain, they are miss
ing.
Yours, with the low down,

Foreigners Cut Holdings
OF American Securities
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A Treasury report disclosed yes
terday that foreigners reduced their
holdings of American securities by
$29 ,48l 900 during January.
The figures. contained in the reg
ular monthly report on capital
movement, showed the heavy selling
began in the week ended January 18,
at which time the New York stock
market was slipping downward.
The trend was contrary to previ-
GUS foreign actions in the American
stock market. A recent Federal Re-
serve Board survey showed that
throughout the many crises preced-
ing 1899. foreigners invariably held
on to their American securities when
the market was weak and added
to their holdings when the market
was going up.
The January selling included $21.-
634 900 from England; $3.588 900
from France; $4,000 from Ger
many; $2,38l 900 from the Neither
land; $730.0OO from Switzerland:
1000 from Italy, and $1,698O00
from other European countries.
Canadians and Latin Americans also
sold some of their American secur-
1tles, and only in the Far East was
American securities bought.
However, a movement of $63 3,907,-
600 OF foreign cash into this coun-
try, together with addition of $14,-
100000 by foreigners to their brok-
erage balances in this country. and
repurchases of $24 4,564 900 worth of
foreign securities formerly owned in
this country resulted in a net move
ment of foreign capital into this
country amounting to $73,350,000.
