was then, and still is doing everything
possible to defeat the pact. The La
Rue report, it was contended by Max
well and yourself, would show that a
high line canal was possible which
would irrigate 2,350,000 acres of Ari-
zona land This was not expected to
be in until in June. The Legislative
sessions only hold for six days and
the same would by law, adjourn early
in March. 1t looked to most of us
as only a plea for delay. Yet Rep
resentative "Louie" Douglas, son of
the multi-millionaire mine owner. Jim
mie Douglas, professed to be spokes-
man for yourself and promised if we
would adjourn without taking action
on the resolution, that the governor
would call an extra session. No such
word came from yourself and the res
olution was pushed to a vote which
resulted in the defeat in the senate
by one vote and a tie vote in the
house.
The LaRue report was filed with
you July 9Th. On pages 1884, in
elusive, the high line canal is thor
oughly discussed and the commission
says: "Unless a feasible, comprehen-
sible plan of development can be
marked out, the area of Arizona lands
which may be irrigated from the
Colorado river will be confined to
areas of bottom land along and ada
cent to the Colorado river and a few
acres that may be served by pump
ing from the system serving these
bottom lands or from the Colorado
river, aggregating all together about
100000 acres.
On page 38 it is further stated:
The commission agrees that the high
line canal project is not feasible at
the estimated cost of $225.0O per
acre, and that no funds should be
appropriated for a detailed survey of
the project as whole"
And yet, Governor, yourself and
Maxwell are still discussing dam sites,
talking of the high line canal, and
proclaiming that over 100000 acres
of land will be left go dry if the pact
Is passed. Where do you get this
stuff?
This report you received and doubt
less read and studied with care. and
yet you failed to call an extra session
of the legislature Your secretary.
gave out to the press that
you would call an extra session in
January to consider road legislation.
This was later denied by yourself. |
You doubtless were aware that, If |
meeting were held, the pact would
be passed and taken out of politics.

WLSENER REPLIES TO COY. HUNTS
LETTER ON COLORADO RIVER PACT,

In a letter appended, Representative
William Wisener replies fully to Gov
ernor Hunts recently published let.
ter to Mr.. Wisener that appeared in
the Yuma Sun with regard to the
Colorado river pact and the problems
connected with flood control.
The chief executive of the state
among other things limited that Mr.
Wisener lives so close to the Colorado
river that he is unable to get prop
er perspective of the river and the
river situation. In Mr.. Wisener's let
ter he points out that he has not been
living near the banks of the Colorado
for the past ten years and suggests
that the governor does not thorough
ly understand the pact.
Mr.. Wisener charges that unlike
some politicians in Arizona, the pow
ers that be in other states-Nevada,
Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, California,
New Mexico-kept the Colorado pact
out of politics.
Their politicians were too big to
make it political ISSUE" says Mr..
Wisener.
Many phases of the subject are

Is it not a fact that, If left before
the public, it might serve as an ex-
cuse for a candidate or candidates fol
patriotic p reasons to consider that
once again, they must come out as q
candidate for governor? And the con-
vention called by yourself at Phoe-
nix to consider the river pact, last
summer-there were but two members
| of the legislature, avowed friends of
the pact, viz, Mulford Winsor of the
senate, Wisener of the house, appoint
ed. They considered the convention
too well packed" and did not attend.
/ might add that one of the mem
bers selected by yourself was Tom
Maddox of Arizona road fame. You
know how you asked the legislature
to spend a goodly sum of money in
investigating his official conduct,
which was done. Senator Fred Coul-
ter, more or less noted in the Lyman
dam matter, where many dollars of
the state school fund were sunk, was
another. AS result of this "hand-
picked" bunch some nine delegates, in
cluding yourself, and that would-be

way and others were hurried down
to Washington to lay the matter be-
fore the proper authorities.
Senator Elliott, who was the
spokesman, declared that Arizona in
sisted on its rights to issue bonds to
build the dam, but declared that the
state was not in position to do so
at once and that the matter of flood
protection was of such vital impor-
tance, as was also river development,
that Arizona would not object to pri-
vate parties being granted the right
to construct the dam.
This looks rather serious, governor,
when it is known that Girand had
secured from the state of Arizona
temporary right to construct the dam
for power on the Colorado at Diamond
Creek and was seeking to have it con-
firmed by the federal power commits
sion. Also, when Senator Roberts,
on January 8, 1923, introduced Senate
Resolution No. as recorded on pages
25-27 inclusive. of the Journal of the
senate, protesting against the grant
ing of the dam site to any private
individual. Senator Elliott introduced
similar resolution on January 10,
and yet yourself and these nine dele
gates, with Elliott as chief speaker,
were at Washington offering to side
step for Grand, ct al,

The question whether or not Mexi-
co will get water for 100000 acres
of land is not in the pact and it's
adoption will not give Mexico a single |
foot of water as you doubtless know. |
Today Mexico has no water right in |
the Colorado, but if treaty is made |
between the two countries, this treaty |
will be made by the senate and the |

them. You will admire the cars they
create. You will delight in the values.

Where savings come

Then how do the Studebakers SO
far undersell any comparable cars?
Because we build so many. The
liked costs are divided by enormous
output-15o,0o0 cars per year.
Because we build our own bodies.
The saving to your on some types is
up to $500 per car.
Because we make our own forg-
ings, saving another profit there.
Because our plants are modern and

we can and do build the

baker prices.
What is a fine car?
A fine car means the
best materials any cost
can buy. We use 35 for
mulas for steels, each
known to be best for it's
purpose. We pay a pre-
MUM of 1870 on some to
get the formulas exact.
All Studebaker models
are equipped with Tim
ken bearings. There are
few cars in America, re-
gardless of price, which
equal ours on this point.
In our Light-Six, for in

are used in any competi-
tive car, within $1,500 of

ENTHUSIASTIC NEW MEMBER
Waunita Hot Springs, Aug. 1C


The 1924 program put on here by
the Waunita Society, commencing
Aug 9Th, closed today with appro-
pirate Sunday services, greatly en-
phasized by a wonderful sermon de-
livered by Rev. William l. Jones, of
Gunnison, on the subject ''The Bible
and Evolution" and the world, includ-
ing William Jennings Bryan, should
have heard that sermon.
Each afternoon and evening, the
members of the Society, health-seek-
ers and visitors from different parts
of the United States, assembled in
the big Club house, with stage at end
of hall like a theatre, and enjoyed
concerts, lectures and special num-
bers that would rank high on any
Chautauqua platform. Some of the
best talent of this age of civilization
was secured, and the programs were
educational from the standpoint of
science, literature, music, art and
high-class humor for entertainment.
Too bad that more of the cultured
class of the people of the U. S. could
not have been present and shared the
joy of these programs, but, as time
goes on and the classic features of
Waunita Society programs are talked
over and written up, their fame will
draw attendance in the future re-
quiring enlargement of buildings and
accommodations.
So far, most of the distinguished
visitors from a distance have come
here for their health, because they
had learned of these powerful radium
waters, and most all get good results.
but, when the great outside world
learns of the classic programs put on
by the Waunita Society, the multi
