PRES. WILKINSON W. U. A.
 ISSUES A STATEMENT
The Things for Which He Has Stood and for Which He Stands the Head of the Salt River Valley Water Users Association

President F. M. Wilkinson yesterday issued the following statement of the tnlngs for which he has stood during the term of his presidency of the as- soclatlon and the program which he VIII endeavor to carry out in the event of his reelection next Tuesday, His views on the drainage question are an endorsement of the report of Mir. D. w. Murphy, the consulting engineer, which is now presumably in the hands of all the voters of the association. The drainage question carries with it the matter of supplemental water sup ply by means of pumps. Another thing favored by MT. Wilkinson is the en- largement of the Western Canal. a project which he had longer favored put which has been made necessary by the destruction of the Consolidated for a portion of it's length near the river this side of Granite Reef
 The statement follows:
 As candidate for reelection as pres ident of the Water Users association, | feel that my stand regarding the policies confronting the association during the coming two years should be clearly shown.
 when l became president of the as Soclatfon two years ago I took the stand that without delay the associa- ton should work out some practical plan for the drainage of the water
 
 were in danger of being water logged. Drainage engineers were employed to work out the drainage problem, and the report of Mir. D. w. Murphy, the consulting drainage engineer. was published in February, and a copy mailed to each water user. I strong ly believe that if the program out lined in this comprehensive report is carried out that our drainage problems will be solved.
 The widening of the Eastern Canal. so as to carry the water of the Con- solidated Canal, eliminating danger of water shortage to the south side is not matter for debate; it must be done.
 Waste ditches tend to the conserva- ton of water and prevent water from seeping into the ground, thus aggra vating waterlogged conditions It would be useless to spend the S400O 900 bond issue on good roads without proper surface drainage.
 The Cave Creek menace has been with us for years. The association

 The matter of improving the Apache Trail: is it cheaper to pay interest on the highway bonds in the hope that construction cost will decrease than to build the roads now. and why should the roads not he properly marked were questions discussed at short length by the members at their weekly luncheon yesterday at the A- NJ. c.

should have a report by d board of competent engineers on how best to solve this problem, and then submit the same to the following interested parties for their joint action: The state, the county. the city of Phoenlx, the city of Glendale, and the Water Users association.
 Another problem confronting the as- sociation is the development of cleo tric power. A complete investigation and report by competent engineers should be made as to the full develop ment of power on the Salt River be- tween Roosevelt Dam and Mormon Flats.
 As to the question of cementing ca nals or sections of them, the aSSocla = tion. after proper investigation should adopt progressive policy, by starting to cement sections where greatest losses have occurred, so that from year to year water wifi be conserved and operation and maintenance eX- penses cut down.
 When the dry lands suit was decid- ed in their favor by the local court, voted with minority of the board or governors to appeal the suit. The ma jority of the board deciding not to appeal the suit there was nothing left to do but to recommend to the Secre- tary of the interior the issuance or water rights to these lands, and l so voted.
 I believe the pumps installed during the last year by the association should be operated, and after supervision and tests by experts of ths University of Arizona, the water should be so mixed with river water as to have no harm ful effect on crops. If necessary for drainage, the pumps should be op- erated continuously and such pumped water as may be shown by tests to be injurious to land or crops should be delivered into waste ditches, as provided in the drainage report of MT. D. W Murphy.
 During my term as president I have endeavored to work for the best inter- ests of all of the water users, and not those of any particular locality, and if elected shall endeavor to conduct the affairs of the association to the best interests of the entire member ship free from any sectional action, and with my two years experience l expect to be able to give much better service than I have previously

BOB GARDNER DISPLAYS
AMERICAN FIGHT SPIRIT
ON ENGLISH GOLF LINKS

7 EFT me add my little say in token
OF esteem OF Robert A. Gardner,
Chicago's wonderful and popular
golfer. on account Of his truly re-
markable performance in carrying
Cyril Tolley, Brltain's premier ana
teur golfer. 70 an extra hole match
to decide the British amateur title.
Had Some Hard Matches
To me that which makes the play
OF Gardner remarkable, although he
did lose the 57th. or extra hole, and
thereby the British title, was not
50 much that he went SO FAR or dis
played such abundant nerve while
furnishing the golflng world with
such a keen match. but that he was
forced TO play such close and nerve
Wrecking matches each day IN order
to reach the finals. 1 never recall
any golfer having had such continu-
Gus fighting TO do as had Bob in
England. Usually a competitor who
reaches the final has been fortunate
In that he has been able TO win a
few Of his matches with comparative
ease thereby allowing himself to
store his reserve power for the criti-
cal situation.
In Gardner's case there was
never IN occasion when he could
relax. On the contrary he was
called upon, day after day, TO
wrestle victory in a struggle
that was soul trying. To have
met Euch conditions and to have
come through TO the last match
stamps Gardner nS one OF the
greatest competitors golf ever
knew.
What clinches this argument was
his display Of courage against young
Toley. Imagine yourself playing in
such a match-Where the stake was
greater than ever before-and facing
a situation wherein you were three
down and four TO play. Certainly
this Is not an enviable position for
anyone to face. And when your op-
ponent has proven himself as the
best Of all England the weight Of
that situation becomes triple-foid.
Here was q task that few golfers

a magnificent display Of courage and
