I O- Not Quiet on the Eastern Front THE battleground in the oil business at the present time is in the east. There not all is peace and harmony by any , means. The Shell interests are invading this territory giving threat to the ancient dominance of the two Standards New Jersey and New York. It is reported from New York that 91 year old John D. Rockefeller is taking a hand in the game himself, coming back from the long retirement during which he left the business in the hands of others. His first return " was noted when he joined with his son, John D. Jr., in oust ing Col. Robert W. tewart from office in the Standard" of Indiana. Again he issued a statement at the height of the panic and the depth of stock prices to the effect that he and his son were busy picking up bargains which the frantic were creating by dumping stocks. The latest moves have been the announcement of the combination of Standard of New York with Vacuum Oil com pany. Both were once subsidiaries of the old Standard of New Jersey and were separated by government decree over 20 years ago. The government will protest this merger on the ground that it violates the old decree. However, the two com panies are complementary rather than competitive. Vacuum being largely engaged in the manufacture and sale of 'lubri cating oils, while Standard of New York is famous for its distribution of gasoline nnder the "Soony brand. An interest ing aside is that the name of the merged company if the deal goes through, will be General Petroleum corporation. This was originally a western company until Standard of New York bought it a few years ago. Now it prop? 3S to make - that title the name of the great merger. Another recent move which irritated other companies, and was said to have been directed by John D. Sr., was re duction of prices for crude oil in the mid-continent area, the big producing district of the country, by Standard of New - Jersey. This brought a sharp howl from Prairie Oil and Gas, a former S. O. subsidiary which has tremendous stocks of oil in storage and whkh last year stepped up the price of crude. The New Jersey company, which is still the giant of the in dustry, followed its late cut in crude with a cut in the price of refined gasoline in eastern territory. Oil, like wheat, wool, cotton and prunes has been suf fering from over-production.. The big concerns have their troubles just like the boys who are running service stations over town. It is the age of competition; the part of wisdom of -which is to keep the competition from becoming wild and disorganized and profitless to all sasBBsMsJCj 11 -Tt" . - . i ' i BITS for BREAKFAST -BjlW. UENB mess- An Under-Secretary f 6?Tourism ANDRE Tardieu has succeeded in forming a new ministry. That may be important in France where every new min istry is a sort of trial toy balloon until it bursts or until it proves its strength. And it is quite important in London, where statesmen of the world foregather and bite their fing er nails over' what to do with French navalism. - But the important thing in the announcement of the new ' cabinet in France is that there is to be created a new post: an under-secretary for "tourism." " "Tourism" has indeed arrived. California developed something of the science of "tourism" but it remained for France to dignify the trade with a desk just outside the cab inet. What is "tourism" you ask? It is defined as "traveling for recreation," but in the new sense it signifies an office for the encouragement of tourist travel. Oregon has had its ambassador of "tourism" in the per Vn. of Frank Branch Riley. California has its quasi-public clubs and organizations for cultivating the trek to the golden state. Now France creates a high office in recognition of the economic value of luring more folk to sojourn in that country. We have wondered sometimes just where it all would end, as community after community takes up special advertis ing. Atlanta and Akron, Ann Arbor and Atlantic City, St Taul, St. Louis and Wichita have learned the tricks of Los Angeles in community promotion. It has become something c a competitive race in which one city is forced to advertise tr get new citizens to take the place of those lured to Seattle, Long Beach and Jacksonville. Fortunate it is that there are n.oots like Butte and San Antonio jrhich have rio virtues to broadcast. Earnest Elmo Calkins, an eminent specialist in advertis ing, writes entertainingly and suggestively in the current At lantic Monthly on "Beauty and the Booster." Speaking of community advertising, he says: But hail to France, with its new under-secretary for tourism. It will Hot be long, it may be ventured, before this progressive step will be imitated. If the United States may not get a secretary for education m the president's cabinet, per haps we too may have an under-secretary for tourism at v ashmgton, and m each 01 tnev4S state capitals. The Boulder dam project Which is not to be boUt laths Boulder canyon, bat Si miles be low, la the Black canyon, accord lay; to present .plans, is attract!,?; tease attention la tbe state of the southwest, and It should hare right of way la public interest throughout the nation, for Its 1m-i portanee Is great beyond any pro posed undertaking of the kind,' and the urgency of It Is gripping. I is y Anson H. Smith of the Mohave Miner, Kingman, Arizona, still one of the editors ot that paper, and a member of the upper branch of the Arizona legislature-. Is the man -who. SS years ago, suggested and began to- work up the senti ment for too., so-called Boulder dam project, and in all these years has been active In Its pro motion. He may be called one of the father or on ot the fathers of the movement In last week's Issue of his paper he comments the progress of tbe great un dertaking-. a He says: "Secretary of the In terior Wilbur announced a few days ago that he probably will let Boulder-dam pojrer contracts as soon as the legal staff ot the in terior department has completed details ot their preparation. He goes oa to say.:' "The secretary announcement was made after he had been urged by members of the senate and house Irrigation committee to 'go ahead' regard less of the fact that lowar basin states had not succeeded in recon ciling' their differences In the mat ter of allocation of water and power. Senator Johason of California asserted that there Is nothing to bo gained by delay, and declared his belief that further confer ences between 'Interested states will only Intensify tbe difference ot opinion. He said the project should go forward immediately. Senator . Walsh, democrat, Mon tana, also urged that work be ex pedited. S In the meantime every effort Is being put forth to brinsT tbe Imperial (valley) farmers and the metropolitan water district to gether In the matter of the pro posed water allocation of the Col orado rirer, which was made as a tentative agreement ot Arizona with California. As a .result, since O Where Was the Auditor? THE city treasurer of the town of Gladstone has plead sruilty to embezzlement of public funds and was sentenced to serve a term at the state penitentiary. Without knowing all the facts in the case, we venture this, that the books have nrobablv been keDt for years without a proper audit Oregon scrfool districts and municipalities have a slipshod system of audit. Even a city like Portland has had its defalcations in county and city offices that are seemingly inexcusaoie. -What we wish the state legislature would create is a bu reau of audit with power to audit at regular intervals the books of every division of local government. The cost would i be paid by the unit nf government being audited; and would Drobablv be much less than the hiring of outside accountants ' as is now irregularly done. Such a bureau would establish systems of bookkeeping which would prevent-much of the fraud which is now disclosed from time to time. In addition such a bureau would have a working knowledge ot the laws I and could check up on many expenditures now bemg made illegally which private accountants never catch. - - "As each full-page advertisement rets la its work, population will be a Mi ted like a national game of Puasy-Wants-A-Corner. and : some corners will be better off and some worse oft until rety com- xnanlty realizes the possibilities ot advertising, true we snail begta to resemble that famous Wind whose lftIiMtaati ttri It doing eaea other's washing. io.' , i... i t Such a bureau properly organized and directed would be more effective in promoting sound finance, security in hand- : ling public funds, and safeguard against illegal expenditures , than two or three grand cabinet systems ef state government. Hal) and Corbett will rind It bard to get ex-service men as eam- paljta xnanagera la saienu Most ot tn boys are em tne scat yayroo now. tbe recess at Phoenix, Imperial valley has offered compromise witn tae metropolitan district, ot SO per cent of the water demand ed by tbe southern California cit ies, and the matter is now under consideration. Governor Young arglnf a settlement that would be equitable to each section . . . Following the general mixup oa the building ot the Boulder dam comes the position of Utah, which strongly disagrees with the posi tion ot Secretary Wilbur, in that Utah Is claiming a large block ot power from the big generators, claiming that under the Swing Johnson bill they are entitled to share in the power that is to be generated. - - S ' "We take It that TJtahl with out a leg to stand on in this re gard, as water is allocated to the norta basin states- and power. must, be developed by their own water now, and not that they will participate in the power that may come-from the lower river. Neva da Is also stalling over the alloca tion of power under the Wilbur distribution, but it is not proba ble that any impediment will be put in the way of a final adjust ment of the project affaire. We are under the impression that nothing will be done by the river states to Impede the final action in the settlement of the dam im broglio in the event that Arizona and California came to an agree ment. - "It the states of Arizona and California do not agree within a very short time congress is sure to place the whole matter in the hands of the, power board, and it is probable that congress will re form the board into a commission that will have all the big rivers under their control. This wUl take out ot present hands control of the rivers, the men to be put into service not being connected with any of the departments or under the control of interior or other cabinet officials, being sim ilar in many respects to the fish eries and many other commis sions. "Under the commission the building of the big dam will be come a governmental function and will - be carried along under the eyes ot tbe commission at all .times, as in the Panama canal, returning Its revenue to forward the development of other pro- AL ENJOYS FAVORITE DISH i Indigestion v. ' 'V tat- i f Jeets. It this is not done the fed eral power commission will grant permits tor the building of the dam under regulations prescribed, and NONE Ol THE STATES WILL RECEIVE A PENNY OF THE MONETARY BENEFIT FROM THE DAM BUILDING. Bo it behooves the people of Arizona and California to get together be fore it is everlastingly too late. The government has waited with great patience for the states to quit playing a child's game and come down to business methods. eSw "Build Boulder dam now, and settle the state disputes after ward is the crux of the present situation. Why the building of the dam should be held up because a Couple ot states are not in ac cord over water or power is Incon ceivable. The. dispute is not with the government of the building of the dam but matters that can be settled by a board of arbitration while tbe dam is building or af ter It is built We need the con struction -of the dam now, because of its vast influence on the. em ployment of labor and its wide radius in the improving of conditions." The metropolitan district means the cities of southern California. Los Angeles and the cities around that metropolis alone would Uke to have all the power and all the lsee second feet of water ten tatively allocated to California and they will need the total amount of the water, in time, for domestic uses alone, without leaving any at all for agriculture; yes, all this, and all the 400 sec ond feet now coming through the Owens river pipe line to Los An geles, and the additional 100 sec ond feet proposed to be brought down in the present pipe line rfrom the Mona lake district. This ISO second feet wUl cost about $50,000,000 to obtain and bring into full use. The 1500 second feet will cost to bring in and dis tribute about $200,000,000. Even so, Los Angeles and her sister cit ies wiU need it all. Butthe most desperate situa tion Is that ot the 60,000 people In the Imperial vaHey. There they bar tbe whole ot the Colo rado river riding away above the floor ot their valley, and building itself higher each year with the silt brought down from the vast territory of the states above. And a necessity to build the banks higher and higher to hold the stream within Its bounds the only case in the world ot a rirer of such size riding higher and higher above the surrounding: country. r Spring and early summer flood conditions In any year may cause in . uoioraao river to break through and drown 10,000 peo ple, and destroy utterly all their vast values In property: every thing. The Black canyon dam will control this water and make the imperial vaney safe. It la an id- pealing situation urgently so. The work on the dam should go iorwaro at once. Tbe whole na tion should demand it. W The farmers of the Imnerlal valley, too, are now dependent on the whims of a whimsical foreign people, the Mexicans, for their Ir rigation water, for their ditch runs 50 to Ct miles through Mex ican territory. In the so-called Boulder dam project there is a $15,000,000 item for the United States to build this Irrigation ditch in American (California) lerruory, inns relieving this an- tenablo situation. - - Every citizen 0f the United States is interested, and there saouldHw a general demand that the Boulder dam project go for ward as rapidly as the engineers Mrs. Samuel Cole, of Chicago, wfta Al E. Smith, who It WtidenQf enjoying the platter af corned beef and cabbage she is serving him. l&sv -Ws2diaaai4 Violate party for AWeha Kaske sad WiUlasn Tmrnm - , .. a Cauoo of Cold Sores Repeated Attacks f This IVrjoUg, May Oflm Indkste an Upset Stomach, By R. s. cSpeLatco, BL H.
