NON PARTISAN LEAGUE
MEETS IN COTTONWOOD

Meeting of members of the Non-par-
tisan league was held last Friday after
noon in Cottonwood. The meeting
which was secret, was addressed by
Ray McKaig, organizer for the lea
que McKaig has been touring north
Idaho, addressing gatherings of league
members.
Concerning a recent attempt by Nc
Kaig to hold a meeting in St. Maries,
the Moscow Star-Mirror, in a dis
patch from St. Maries, says:
cray McKaig, organizer for the
Non partisan league for Idaho, at
tempted to deliver speech here
on Monday despite the fact
that he bad been warned by the
chief of police that he could not do
so without obtaining a permit from
the city authorities. He was prompt
ly placed under arrest, taken into
court and fined $40 and costs. He
gave notice of appeal from the de-
cision and furnished a bond to cover
payment for the fine should the ap-
peal not be successful.
CATER his meeting had been stop
ped, he went to a point just outside
the city limits where he delivered
the speech that he had intended to
deliver in the hall. Little sympathy
however, was shown in connection
with his remarks.
"The American legion had heard of
his coming and members of the or
ganization stated that they would not
allow him to speak in the city. Lee
gal measures, based upon the city
were sufficient to prevent
his speaking without any possible VIC
lence being needed or attempted. "

INDIAN CLAIM To WATER RIGHTS
NAY CAUSE CHAOS IN Arizona

nHOENIlA, Ariz-, Jan. ga very re-
I markable claim has come from the
commissioner OF Indian affairs.
nothing less than that Indian reserva-
tons OF Arizona have right Of appro-
prlation from the streams OF all VAT
ers that the Indian may need for irri-
cation. this appropriation subordinate
only TO the rights in force among the
whites at the date Of the formation
Of the reservation affected
IN effect. this might mean that the
Indian bureau could claim the whole
flow Of the CHA river for the Pima
and Maricopa reservation, in the event
that say. the Papago tribe were
moved upon Il and a great expanse
Of land, now desert, were planted to
cotton or other crops 1t involves
even the taking from a farmer OF the
may have been enjoyed for 30 years,
in the event more land OF more agri-
cultural Indians were TO be served
Post {. s. Notice
In line with this, the Indian agent
at Sacaton lately visited the site OF
ella, above Florence, and posted a
notice claiming for the Indian all ''un-
appropriated" waters OF the stream
The date Of the residence Of the
date OF their appropriation OF the
stream flow appears tmmaterial in
the view OF the Indian bureau The
reservation itself is considered as hav-
ing priority OF appropriation from
its establishment time, without refer
ehce TO quantity Of water demanded
Refused New Code.
The matter has come up through
refusal OF the Indian bureau 10

engineers OF the new irrigation code

should they determine to take out
OF the streams passing through Indian
reservations any or all the water they
might OF could use. they might take
all the water Of the White river. the
Black river, the salt river. the ella
river. the Colorado river and all the
tributaries OF these rivers in the IN
dian reservations. regardless OF the
rights OF the people OF Arizona to the
waters Of these streams, whether
prior OF otherwise"
Antednte All Rights.
There is answer TO this from the
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1920-01-29

Indian bureau. The government has
never contended that the implied res
ervatiou OF water rights accompany
ing a reservation OF land for Indians
antedated the water rights existing
at the time such reservation was made
and Il claims only a sufficient guam
tity OF the water unappropriated at
the time OF such reservation as neces-
sary to properly serve the land.
II happens that. because OF the
sparsely populated condition OF many
OF the western states at the time the
early Indian reservations were made,
the Indians rights antedate prac-
ticGlly all other water rights. but I
feel sure that the state water con-
missioner will recognize the fact that
the Indian service has never at
tempted to usurp more water for use
on Indian reservations in the state
Of Arizona than the needs OF the
Indians actually required"
AS a matter OF civility only. the
supervising engineer for the Indian
service may furnish the Arizona au-
thorities with q statement as to the
amount OF water which the develop
ment now under way viii require.
but the government refuses TO
acknowledge the state laws as bind
ing in any respect upon present or
future Indian irrigation appropria-
lions.
