As a matter of fact, Commissioner Wallace of the Utah water storage commission has never been converted to the wisdom of the Utah legislature voting to pact, and the credit adopt the for the adoption of the pact rests solely with the legislature. The repeal of the pact by the legislature of 1927 was made at the request of tho Utah delegation in congress, the governor, the water storage commission and the state of Arizona. The matter of repeal was not debated on either the floor of tho house or the senate. When the matter of adopting the pact came up in the 1929 legislature that body, acting on its own initiative, appoiuted a joint committee to attend the Santa Fe conference, and, on the return of that committee, adopted the pact, which insured the building of the Boulder dam. The Utah legislature felt that there had been too much log rolling in congress, too much sparring for political advantage, and that Utah had been used to help Arizona pull her chestnuts out of the fire. Naturally, Utah wants all that is to be had from the Boulder dam, but her legislature adopted the pact as set forth in the Colorado river compact It was adopted in good faith just as it was written, and no one has the right to say that it was adopted with siz-Bta- te six-sta- six-sta- te te - six-sta- te six-sta- te Utah wants the Boulder dam built; the Utah legislature opened the way that it might be built, and the people should insist that professional obstructionists keep their hands off. If every dam site on the Colorado river were utilized there would be sale for all the power developed, and it is dearly against the interests of this state to hinder this great development Utah utility corporations can market power as fast as it can be developed, and faster than it will be developed, and it is in the interest of Utah that this power be sold at a price which will enable utility companies to resell . .

At present there is a decided trend Increases Secretary Wilbur is up against the real thing in his attempt to allocate the power which it is proposed to generate at the Boulder dam. One of the major objections to the building of the great dam was that there would be no sale for the power generated, and the Muscle shoals dam fiasco was pointed out as one of the proofs of the claim. Now that the power has been fully subscribed for and Allocated, opponents to the dam have seized upon the ness of the division and the price agreed on to delay construction of the It is to to promote manufacture of our materials. In the face of existing conditions, something is the matter with the man who sits in with Arizona against California. Now that the matter of allocating the Boulder dam power has been reopened in Washington, the wisdom of the dam legislation is apparent. The provision that the secretary of state shall dispose of the power before building operations are commenced has been complied with, and now comes the state of Nevada with a proposition to take all the power and peddle it out at a profit; also the city of Los Angeles with a scheme to make the project a municipal power plant. Federal Officials War on Many Fake the history of the gas industry shall have been written in 1929 it will reveal that another set of new When high records has been established for the oldest public utilities in the one of world. toward expansion of low cost road construction in rural districts as a farm relief measure. Good roads have become necessary to the farmer in his commercial and social life. The that once and mud-holcharacterized rural roads are disap pearing, and serviceable, but inexpen sive, paved highways are taking their place. Thera is no end to the good roads movement. Thousands of miles of pavement have been constructed in the last few years, and the demand steadily increases. It is now generally realized that a highway is not an expense, but an investment which pays zor itself many times over. The history of the industry in Utah for 1929 smashes all previous records of growth and expansion. The advent of natural gas tq Utah is an epochal event. Thousands of customers in dozens of Utah towns and communities are enjoying now for the first time in their lives the advantages of natural gas in the home and factory. The actual delivery of this fine new fuel to this and other Utah communities is playing an important part in making the new records for the inVotes? dustry as a whole possible.
