WHY ARIZONA MUST FIGHT

Now that Arizona Colorado Wyoming and one or two other western states are all worked up over the greed of the enterprising people of Los Angeles and southern California in attempting to hog all the benefits of the Colorado river, 1t may not be amiss to call attention to another piece of second-story work which that section of Cal ifornia has been engaged on for some tlme and which has aroused as much ire in northern Cal ifornia, as the Swing bill has aroused in Arizona
 It is no secret that Los Angeles has an over weening ambition to be the largest city in Cali fornia and the west coast, even if she has to ln- corporate half the state to do it, but some of the means that are being used to accomplish this achievement are Illuminating in their disclosure of scientific legal robbery on the part of mu- nicipality.
 Backed by Los Angeles politicians, and backed with healthy propaganda fund as usual, con- stitutiona amendment has been proposed in Cal ifornia to provide new board in the state gov ernment, which shall control all rivers and streams in the state and regulate their develop ment along reclamation and power lines. This board is to control any power plants that may be constructed, and regulate their distribution of power and also the prices they may charge for such power WITHOUT ANY JURISDICTION BY THE STATE RAILROAD COMMISSION, which serves the same purpose as the corpora tion commission in this state.
 The amendment provides that this river board shall be so selected that it would be comparative
 
 on which that city would be in position to mOn- opolze the power of the state, and drive all pri- yates enterprises out of business, immune as the board would be to the regulation of the railroad commission, which controls the private corpor- ations of California.
 That is one of Los Angeles schemes for dom- inion in the southwest. To this she has added the plan for the conquest of the Colorado, and if she were to succeed in either or both of these projects, she would absolutely control the growth and the industry of veritable empire
 The methods of southern California are well known. They are simply to set definite goal, then raise huge slush fund for educational" purposes, and plaster the whole United States with the necessary propaganda.
 It is method which has worked in every case so far, and it will work again, unless Arizona combats it with like process. Telegrams from chambers of commerce, and private citizens to governmental officials will do no good.
 The public exercises the ultimate control over the actions of congress- and to the public Los An geles will go. Arizona must go to the same peo- pie also.
 If Arizona fails to adopt California's methods, she might as well make up her mind to let Cal ifornia have her own sweet will. For the weapon of publicity is a powerful one, and Los Angeles has no superior in it's use. It is wise general who learns from the enemy and Arizona's sal vation lies in her ability to use Los Angeles methods to beat Los Angeles-Douglas Dis patch.

THE DREAM OF A NIGHTMARE

A man by the name of Shoup had an lad" in last Sundays Republican advocating the Will kinson dream highway" and in this ad there is striking us of an expression that calls for reproduction herein advancing the argument that Arizona should build this Dream High way" he says: Leave all selfish ideas out. !" That is fine, in fact, that is rich when one con- siders that this unneeded highway asks of the taxpayers in all Arizona to build short line to the ocean so that Mir. Wilkinson and Mr. Shoup can get bath Inore readily whenever they need it, and another line: "This road should be built at once through good will and good fellowship" Then why the bond issue for two million five hundred thousand dollars, may we ask?-Tomb- stone Epitaph.

Shall we gather at the (Colorado) River?" The answer is that every true, red-blooded Ari- oman will fight the battle to the last ditch rath CT than to surrender her rights to California or any bunch of politicians of whatsoever kind stripe or greed. Arizona is slowly awakening to the "cause of the Colorado" It is the cause of the whole Southwest. Can it be possible that California political influence can block the prog. ress of the whole Southwest in the interest of few? If so it will be done to the shame and dis grace of the whole commonwealth. Develop the whole Colorado and all will be satisfied

The people of Arizona are gradually being aroused to the danger of losing the benefits to be derived from rightful development of the Colorado river Even the state of Colorado has come alive to the fact that if development does not start at Glenn Canyon, that state will lose a vast portion of her rights. The people of Ari- zona are not yet sufficiently awakened to the danger of California and Old Mexico interests emasculating the riant river for their special benefit

Harold Mccormick, the millionaire who bor- rowed some of the interior mechanism of poor but husky young man and had it transplanted into his system, is evidently trying to prove that money will buy youth and vitality. However, ex- perts say that Harold has been bunked out of about S50000 and that he hasn't bunked old Mother Nature out of months worth of actual time.

Phoenix building road to California with state funds hardly comports with their oft-ex- pressed slogan, See Arizona First" Spending $2500,000 of state money to furnish easier ac- cess to Los Angeles for Arizonans does not sound good. Why not make roads connecting Arizona with Arizona first?

It is utterly impossible to build up city en- tirely with other peoples money. It is up to the citizens to pay their fair share for value receiv- ed. It isn't financial poverty that usually keeps city back, it's the poverty of good will, clear thinking and enthusiasm.

The farmers and stockmen of Arizona will not agree with democratic papers and orators when they claim the republican administration has done nothing. Many of them can at least point to farm and stock loans made which saved them from ruin. That's concrete fixed fact in their minds and it can not be orated out
