WITHOUT THE PACT.
Immediate Prosperity and De-
velopment for Arizona.

In an address by Senator Golfer at
Phoenix on Labor Day, among many
other good things he told was the fol-
lowing:
The biggest issue that has ever come
before Arizona is the Colorado River
Compact.
1t is not an ordinary law that can be
repealed every two years. 1t is per-
petual binding contract that embraces
Arizona fundamentals of life. water,
land and power.
That compact gives Arizona's water
power away: deprives it Of billions of
taxable wealth and retards growth and
population and reclamation.
The disastrous slogan keep this out
of politics" was cunningly devised by
political exploiters who realize politics
is the controlling power that governs
every act and move of civic life.
Beware of the dangerous practice Of
few leaders who are organizing asso-
Citations and established societies for
benefit of exploiters and specinl priv
ilege. Resolutions have been rushed
thru associations by leaders when
minority only were present.
Following are fatal, unfair and det-
rimental provisions of the pact:
Why does the pact apportion only 16
million acre feet to the seven states in
the pact when guage measurements of
stream flow shows "a million acre feat
are available?
Why is it that the pact apportions
this surplas million acre feet to Mex
lean landlords instead of the U. S.?
Why are the upper basin states ap-
portioned double the amount of water
they can ever use, when Arizona can
irrigate and use four times the amount
provided for? Is it not for benefit of
the power trust and Mexican landlords?
Why is 1t that with IL million acre
feet of water given to Mexico by this
unfair pact. Arizona is deprived of her
heritage and must guarantee to furnish
Mexico's shortage out of her appor-
tionment without cost?

it would not accomplish that claimed
for it, constitute significant reasons
why Arizona and California have no

RO7AN, SOUTHWEST
GOLFER, IS Able ONE
Is Tournament Player Of Long and
Tried Standing

BY The Associated Press,
New York, May l.-George V. Ro-
tan, the southwest's only contribution
to the Yankee amateur golf team now
in the British Isles to defend tie
Walker cup and attempt to life the
British amateur title. Is tournament
player OF lo1; experience. No matter
how rough the going is on British
courses Rotan is not likely to become
clustered or TO lose his poise. Rotan
has won the Texas state amateur
cham ionship five times in 1912. 1918.
1914, 1915 and 1919. his absence in
several of the other years probably
preventing him from winning addi-
tional honors in this event. In 1914,
1919, 1920 and 1921 he captured the
Houston invitation tournament. Bob
Connerly of Austin is his only rival
for honors among Texas amateurs.
Rotan's brilliance however has not
been confined to Texas courses for
last summer he startled the east with
two of the most spectacular perfor-
mances of the season. The first was
when he covered the famous Pine Val
ley links at Sumner, n. j., in 10 to
lead an international field in the quail
flying round of an invitation tourney
and the other when he shot GO over
Myopia, at Hamilton, Mass. the first
time any golfer, professional or ANA
teur had broken 20 on that nerve
testing course.
He is no stranger to international
competition for last August in an in
vitation tournament at the National
links he defeated John Caven of Scot
land a member of the British Walker
cup team but was eliminated by c. v.
l.. Hooman of England.
Rotan spent his youth in the east
and attended Yale university before
gaining fame on Texas links. Tall
and slender he is ideally equipped,
both physically and temperamentally,
to withstand the most exacting rigors
of the royal and ancient game.
