What it is For
The League of the Southwest grinds
no axes. backs no particular schemes,
represents no special interests Or fac
tons. but it promotes the progress and
prosperity of all the southwest by fos-
tering better acquaintance and fntelI
gent cooperation between the influ-
entail and substantial elements of its
various communities.
Its conventions afford any one COM
munity or state opportunity to enlist
the unified influence of the entire
southwest to successfully further any
legitimate local project or need.
The League of the Southwest is re-
sponsiye to the wishes of it's member
ship. 1t holds as automatic that the
development of the resources of the
Colorado river basin fundamentally un-
derlies all future progress and pros
perity of the southwest.
According to letter which has just
been received by Mr.. Parker, over 200
and towns in the southwest have sig
nified their intention of sending delega-
tons to the convention. The letter,
which is from Arnold Kruckman, sec
rotary of the league, states that there
has never been time when the SOUTH

does now.
The convention is open to everyboos-
having legitimate interest in the at
fairs of the southwest. Any organiza-
ton or community is privileged to have
as many delegates on the floor as 1t
sees fit to appoint. 1t is urgent, ac-
cording to Mr.. Parker. that as many
representatives as possible from the
Salt River valley be present at the con-
vention. He intends to recruit a dele
cation from the farm bureau. and it is
expected that other civic bodies will be
