PACT PRATTLE.
Two Elections Do Not Mean
Ratification.

The pact was real political issue in
Maricopa and Coconino counties this
week. Maricopa stood true to the dem
ocrats and its anti pacist legislature.
Coconino elected, it is conceded, the
republican editor of the Flagstaff Sun,
a pretty well informed writer. but far
better connoisseur of corned beef than a
pact between states. There will be no
ratification, this year, that's certain.
There seems to be no danger in
Arizona's failure to ratify the Colorado
pact for developing the river sresources,
says the Courier. Word from Wash
ington reports that the federal power
commission is to issue permit to the
Utah power company for building a
big dam on the Green river. If this is
sanctioned, it is very likely that the
Diamond creek project in Arizona will
receive similar permission, and that the
California Edison company's project
for giant dam in GLEN Canyon will
be revoked. The state of Arizona has
been given permit for building the
Diamond Creek dam. Thus, the Cour-
ier contends:
If the federal government is willing
to give permits, work can go aheaC
without interruption, provided the ones
who want to build dams can procure
the necessary funds.
If the power commission aims to &c
ahead and grant permits to develop
power in the river regardless of the
compact. would it, in the event the
pact is ratified by all the states, give
heed to its provisions? And, also. il
might be asked, what can Arizona dc
in the way of determining the manner
of developing the great resources OF
the stream in the canyon if the fedora
government is to ignore state author.
ity in the premises? These are matters
worthy of consideration by the people
of this state.
The State Miner here appropriately
calls attention that the federal govern.
ment has always heretofore kept faith
with its locators of water and minera
privileges according to present laws.
Private as we'll as corporate capital,
until notified (and such notifications
are always with reasonable considera-
tom, may therefore continue to locate
and appropriate water rights as here
.tofore. Those who have done so will
find that in event the compact-is rat
fled that their rights will not be
abridged so long as they have complied
with the law governing such appropri-
ations.
