Governor Item The real question before the people today la whether or not the United Stales has the right to do as It pleases with the, property of the states. There has been such suggestions made and I wonder that there has not risen in the halls of Con gross a man big enough to expose and denounce this shameless rug' geetion as it deserves. There seems to be the hypothesis that no such thing as states rights exist and that he Jurisdiction of Congress is both supreme and complete. This doctrine is utterly repugnant to our whole plan of federal union. The foregoing statement was made by Governor George H. Dern of Utah when he was discussing To perpetuate civil war traditions, the forming of a new auxiliary to the Q. A.

Whether or not the Boulder dam should be built or different to transgressions such as not has no place In tills series, but the doctrine of states rights as applied to the use of irrigation of water In Utah and other western states is of utmost importance. The et airs rights angle of the Colorado river comes from the fact that Arisons has never agreed to the seven state compact because Its own rights seemed insufficiently safeguarded and because Congress Is attempting to construct a dam on ground claimed by the state of Arisona and use water claimed by the various states without getting permission from all concerned.

Due to the activities of Mr. Blood and his associates on tha commission tha regular agricultural bill was changed so that it gave tha western states three million dollars additional for forest road bill The Idea for the Coiton-Oddfirst originated in Denver nt the meeting of the national association of atata highway commission It was noted that the regular federal work was getting so far away from tha work being done on the public lands that tha highway system of the west was becoming decidedly lopsided. As the state had no money to put Into the roads over public lands and as ths federal aid money was not available for that purpose the only source left was ths agricultural bill funds which were entirely inadequate. Careful investigation showed that the federal aid projects as originally bo complete in planned would about ten years but that the public lands and forest link at the present rate of Improvement would not be finished for more than fifty In the case of Colorado year und California it was shown that ths work would not be finished for la nearly a hundred year With this data on hand the commissioners, of the western states revived tha western association of d commissioner!) their began struggle to get more money for the forest and public land, roads. Henry H. Blood was elected president and instructed to bring the combined force of the public lands states to bear in ths matter. How well he succeeded is seen by ths fact that the bill has passed the house, tha senate, been emended in conference and tha amendments accepted by both house As highway matters now stand in Utah there ore three sources from which the federal money is coming. One of these la the regular appropriation for federal aid. This appropriation is for 175.000,-no- n of which Utah will get 550,-on- o.

It ia for this reason that the wiser heads in the organisation are becoming more and more determined that tha Kan. City convention shall not bo mat. tjta prelude to political suicide.

Men and women In the border states are up In arms against the commerce secretary, and, according to the correspondent of ona of tho leading New' York newspaper whatever eenti-me- nt there waa for Hoover because of his widely advertised work for flood relief, has disappeared. This correspondent came back to Washington after an extended survey with the announcement that if Hoover were nominated for president he would surely lose every border atata. He Included In his survey not only tha states named but also Ililnoi where, he said, the people In southern Illinois are openly opposing Hoover because of his stand on tha negro question. The bitter antagonism of tha farmers to Hoover has not abated in the least, notwithstanding tha herculean efforts of tho Hoover sd- -' herenta to make It appear that the commerce secretary Is a friend of the farmer. This waa manifested in the Ohio primary where Hoover failed to carry a single agricultural district. That the farmers would not support Hoover In tho election is as certain aa day.
