Question of Concession
For Canals In Mexico

Just now, when the district is about
10 buy the { D canal system with

ments il is wei To consider ias5 what
il is We are buying. ana why it is in
such shape. Old timers remember
how in 1903 the {. d. Co. aud the
Reclamation Service had u fight ove.
@ho should control the Colorado river,
and The Reclamation Service Won ont.
% tie extent that tle bill seeking y
giTe control Of the rive To the &. D.
CO. was defeated in Congress. Then
the president Of the {. D. CO. went 10
Mexico city, and the Vi e&iean contract
Of May II, 19ot, w2s made. BY this
contract. the Mexican lands should be
entitled to half o the water passing
through the canal IN MeNico. w6ethcr
such water should be diverted ia the
United states. or in Mexie9. 1t is now
stated by Mr. lockwood that Mexico
demanded thai as their price for al
lowing the water To run through Mex

30 per cent tariff on our water. Let
Us examine that matter little The

eeaairiF no occasion FOR getting "a

contract WAS not gotten for the. rrp-

for the purpose of mailing down. as

This right is a most precious privilege as voter of the City
