GERMAN ATTITUDE

Enters spark Tunnel,
Germany has arrived at the en-
trance to dark-a very dark-tun-
nel.' He referred not only to pos
gible reaction from Paris to the Ger
man official attitude, the German
government considering the treaty of
Versailles abrogated, but also was of
the opinion that the internal situa-
tien was fraught with grave danger.
Since the coal syndicate eliminated
itself from the further control of
the Ruhr mines output the independ-
ent owners and operators have tacit-
1y agreed to supply France and Bel
glum against cash payments, as they
are no longer able to hold Germany
financially accountable for their de-
liveries. Official quarters are not in
tervening in this situation, inasmuch
as it was not certain in Berlin to-
night that the French authorities in
the newly occupied area would enter
into such an agreement.
Just now the government is CIV
ing serious consideration to the
adoption of emergency economic
measures calculated to meet the sud-
den turn in the situation throughout
Germany without anticipating diplo-
matte and foreign economic ratifi-
cations which may become urgent is

ed, were equally as small as the
legal grounds. Continuing, he said:
"As long as the present situation
lasts. Germany will not be in a po-
sititon to carry out her obligations
to the powers who brought about the
situation. Outwardly, we can offer
but little opposition to this act of
violence, but inwardly we can do
more-namely, by a display OF will
and determination.
'The German nation is manifestly
stirred. The depth of its emotion may
not perhaps be fully realized, because
the nation is accustomed to CARRYING
its burden with unvarying patience. Not

gested by Mr.. La Rue and his asso-
ciates, is carried out about 100000
additional acres may be irrigated in
the United States, which would re-
quire 100000 acre feet of water or
a total of 100000 acre feet. It viii
be observed that in any event that the
water supply is adequate to care for
the reclamation of this extra land in
Arizona and California.
1T seems to me that the plan to
irrigate 00,000 acres in. the lower Gila
valley is worthy of the most carefm
Investigation. While $163 an acre is
more than any farmer can now, afford
to pay for bringing water to raw des-
err land yet this project may become
entirely feasible within a generation.
BY that time cheap power will be
available from the Colorado river
which will reduce the cost OF con-
struction. The normal increase Of
population in the United States will
not only create a demand for more
agricultural land, but should cause
farm products to bring relatively
higher prices. Undoubtedly the inven-
tive genius of the American people

below. The fact that the compact
apportions to the upper basin more
water than can ever be used is there
of the lower basin. That visionary
and Impractical projects are being
proposed in New Mexico, Colorado,
Utah OF Wyoming does not justify US
in insisting upon the reservation of
water for equally visionary and i'm
practical projects in the lower basin.
If we let our imaginations run free
we are bound to have visions of de-
maad for water which two rivers like
the Colorado could not supply.
| am firmly convinced that without
an agreement with the federal govern
ment and the six other states there is
no way in which Arizona can obtain
the benefits that this state should
receive from the Colorado river. There
is nothing in the report Of the Arizona
Engineering Commission which adds
anything to the rights which the peo-
pie Of Arizona have in that river. Mel
ther does the report change in any
way the rights which the United
States or the other basin states now
claim on possess. Such being the
case we are in exactly the same posi-
ton as. we We're before in dealing with
these other sovereignties except that
the negotiation Of a new or amended
compact is made more difficult. If
Arizona claims the right to ir1igatc
vast acres of land at some future time
the other states will likewise raise
their demands with the result that an
agreement will be impossible. If
prompt development and progress are
desired the safest thing to do is to
approve the Colorado river compact
as written at Santa Fe.
In response to questions by Albert
w. Atwood Of the Saturday Evening
Post, Mr.. Hayden said that while ir-
rigation would increase production of
farm products, this production was of
a class Of products that would not
compete with eastern products of
which there has of late been a sur
plus, and that the development of
Arizona would increase the consump-
tion here Of eastern raised farm prod
ucts.
Mr.. Hayden's talk was received with
close attention and interest and the
applause following it was long con-
tinued and sincere,
The Coconino sun., 1923-07-27

" made that this and many other ir-
rfgation projects, the cost of which
IS now considered to be excessive, will
probably be constructed.
While it may be entirely proper for
the Arizona legislature to appropriate
$25,0G0 for a further study of the
high line canal plan yet everyone must
agree that the commission was corr
rect in its conclusion that S225 per
acre is a. prohibitive reclamation
charge at the present time, AS a
member of the committee on irrigation
OF arid lands | have listened to the
testimony of water users from all OF
the federal reclamation projects and
in. every instance where the construc-
tion charge is over $40 an acre the
farmers are complaining bitterly.
In some cases they have asserted
that it IS impossible to secure enough
from the net returns from the sale OF
their crops to meet the payments due
to the government even though no in~
terest is charged.
TO reclaim 100000 acres at cost
Of 1928 per acre will require $780,
100000. That amounts to more than
half of the taxable wealth Of Arizona
so this state cannot finance such an
undertaking. 1T is equally certain that
the United States will not invest any
money in an enterprise when there Is
not the remotest possibility that the
cost Of the project would be repaid
Every engineer who has studied the
Colorado river problem agrees that at
the present time, with the existing
prices for crops grown on irrigated
farms, there are not enough pracri-
cable irrigation projects within the
entire basin Of the Colorado river to
utilize all the waters of that stream.
Looking into the future Mr.. La Rue
in his supplemental report says the
time may come when the water sup
ply Of the Colorado river may not he

If this opinion is correct what are
we going to do about it? Shall the
federal government refuse to do any
thing because of the possibility that
all demands cannot be satisfied? Shall
each of the states of the Colorado ba-
sin enter a race to acquire prior rights
to the use of water by issuing bonds
to build irrigation projects which it is

ment? The answer to all such ques-
tions is that the only sane and sensible
way to proceed is for he United States
and the seven states to make an agree
ment which will equitably apportion
the waters Of the Colorado river.
The Colorado river compact does
not fix the exact amount Of water
which each of the seven states may
use. II merely makes q beginning BY
providing for a fair division of water
between the upper and the lower basin
in quantities which are more than suf-
ficient for the present and immediate
future needs Of each basin. The lower
basin has a great advantage in this
arrangement because water will rup

MEXICO REJOICES AT THE
DEATH OF PANCHO VILLA

Gen Francisco (Pancho) Villa, COM
mander of rebel armies in northern
Mexico for ten years, was shot and
killed at Canutillo, Durango, by Mi
gJ.el Trillo, his secretary.
In the battle which followed, Trillo
was killed by men loyal to their slain
chieftain and, according to the latest
advices received from the ranch, the
fight is still in progress. More than
100 casualties have occurred in the
sanguinaly fighting which followed
the shooting of Villa by Trillo.
The secretary is said to have be-
come incensed at the former bandit
leader and to have fired at him sud-
denly. The bullets took fatal effect
and Villa died almost instantly.
T1illo was fired upon by other men
near the scene of the shooting and was
killed few minutes later. Men who
had rallied behind Trillo then engaged
with the local Villa troops and gen
eraI battle occurred within the ranch.
Villa had about 800 men on the ranch
and all were trained in handling arms.

In his absence let me say that no
one can object to the repetition by Mr..
La Rue in his minority statement of
the facts heretofore developed which
demonstrate that the dependable sup
ply of water in the Colorado river is
limited. He quotes the figures prepar-

show that on the average, there will
be 9,610,000 acre-feet of water avail
able for storage at Boulder Canyon.

be a conservative estimate because
some months ago Mr.. La E,ue told me
that it was safe to assume that after
all possible future uses of water had
been made in the upper basin there
would remain an average of ten mil
lion acre-feet annually for use in the
lower basin.

a scarcity of football materia'

work wonders with green ma

The same situation prevails

month to develop linemen to fill
the vacancies left by Dickinson,
Thomson, Afford, Baker, Treat,
Griffin, and also a back to take
place of Clcaves.
The Princeton Alumni Weekly

green, and inexperienced, and
another football team will have
to be made from untried candi-
