In response to numerous requests
from readers, the Santa Fe compact
concerning the apportionment of the
waters of the Colorado river is here
with reprinted in full.
Many people have the idea that it
provides for a dam-at Boulder Can
yon or elsewhere; others that it en-
ables California or Mexico to "steal"
water or power from Arizona. A
reading of the compact itself is the
best answer to the arguments of
those who oppose it. 1t says:

are to provide for the equitable divis-
ion and apportionfment of the use of

tenn; to establish the relative impor-

to remove causes of present and fu-
ture controversies; and to secure the
expeditions agricultural and industrial
development of the Colorado river
basin, the storage of its waters and
the protection of life and property
from floods. To these ends the Colo
rado river basin is divided into two
basins, and an apportionment of the
use of part of the water of the Colo
do river system is made to each of
them with the provision that further
equitable appointments may be
made,
