ACTION SOON UP TO STATES ON BOULDER DAM Construction May Start on Giant Project in Few Months. BY RUTH FINNEY, Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—Construction of Boulder dam may be under way in a few months if the remaining preliminary steps are disposed of as rapidly as those of the last few weeks. Authors of the bill hope President Coolidge will sign it before Christmas. If he does, the project will go at once before the legislatures of three states. The bill, as passed, provides that no steps shall be taken toward construction until the Colorado river compact has been ratified by all seven Colorado river states. Arizona and Utah have yet to ratify. Their legislatures meet in January and action is possible at once. In Arizona anew Governor will take office the first of the year, and legislative approval of the pact, so long opposed by the retiring Governor, George W. P. Hunt, may be given. The Utah legislature once approved the compact, and one of its senators who previously had opposed the Swing-Johnson bill voted for it at the end. There is little doubt that Utah’s approval will be given the pact if Arizona ratifies. California’s legislature must pledge itself never to use more water from the Colorado than the compromise allotment voted by the senate. It also meets in January. As soon as these three states have acted, the secretary of interior is instructed to make contracts for lease of water rights, or for lease of units of a plant or for sale of power, for amounts sufficient to amortize the greater part of the cost of the project within fifty years. If either Arizona or Utah refuses to ratify the compact, the secretary of interior may begin the work of financing the project next July. Thus, in any event, the work of construction will start in less than a year. Engineers have estimated the •work will take eight years for completion, although flood danger will be eliminated long before that time.

Home-Made, but Ends Bad Cough In a Hurry

To end a stubborn cough quickly, it is important to soothe and heal the inflamed membranes, get rid of the germs and also to aid the system inwardly to help throw off the trouble. For these purposes, here is a homemade medicine, far better than anything you could buy at 3 times the cost. From any druggist, get ounces of I’inex. Put this into a pint bottle, and add plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey to fill up the pint. This takes but a moment, and makes a remedy so effective that you will never do without, once you have ÜBed it. Keeps perfectly, and children like it. This simple remedy does three necessary things. It loosens the germ-laden phlegm and soothis away the inflammation. At the same time it is absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubas. This explains why it brings such quick relief, even in obstinate bronchial coughs and “flu” coughs. Pine* is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in a refined, palatable form, and known as one of the greatest healing agents for severe coughs, chest colds and bronchial troubles. Do not accept a substitute/for Pinex. It ia guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

JACKSON TELLS ASSESSORS OF HIS HIGHIDEALS Declares Leslie Should Follow His Example for Equal Success. If the coming state administration of Governor-elect Harry G Leslie lives up to “the high ideals” of the outgoing regime of Governor Ed Jackson it will be "equally successful.” Thus Jackson himself advised in addressing the county assessors and auditors at the opening session of their annual conferen9e under state tax board auspices in the house of representatives Tuesday afternoon. “It has been a rule of this administration not to let a dollar be lifted from the taxpayer unless it was needed and would be properly expended,” the governor asserted.” “That is one of the reasons for our remarkable recotrd." Jackson Is Speaker “I hope that you will give the same loyalty to the new administration that you have given to me “If the coming administration lives up to the same high ideals the confidence of the people will not have been misplaced.” Jackson opened his address by delivering high praise of John J. Brown, whom he fired from the state tax board to make a place for Pliny Wolfard, Jackson’s secretary for the last four years. Brown had served two four-year terms as chairman of the board. “I wish to praise the service rendered by Mr. Brown to the state,” Jackson declared. Wolfard Is Praised “His retirement was not because of any delinquency in his duty. He wus extremely competent and devoted much attention and time to the study of taxation problems. His
