WHAT 4 GOOD DEMOCRAT
THINKS OF HUNTS POLICIES

vent by running for Governor a fifth
time-is being pulled off.
We can forgive the Governor for ig-
norance of almost any phase of the
Colorado river question, or for that
matter, of any other question. 1t he
can capitalize his own ignorance, and
by arousing Nprejudice and passion
based upon empty and ridiculous as
sertions, we feel that perhaps we
shouldn't complain. The people have
right to be fooled if they want to-.
But we just simply can't stand by
and allow to go without exception the
Governors declaration that the de-
mand for control of the Colorado's
floods is bunk. When he says that he
is hitting pretty close to where lot
of us down here live.
If he thinks it's bunk to have 150,-
900 second-feet of water mountain
high and a mile wide, standing ten
or twelve feet above the front door
step--and we're speaking now not of
California, but of his beloved Arizona,
whose rights he is determined to pre-
serve, even if he has to keep on be-
ing Governor forever--he'd better
drop down into the Yuma Valley some
bright, sunshiny July day and take
a look around.
If he thinks it's bunk to have 150,-
900 second-feet of boiling water goug-
ing and gnawing for weeks on end at
the little levee which separates the
Colorado from the rich farms along
its course, or having torn the levee
in two spreading out over thousands
of acres of alfalfa and cotton, and
truck crops, destroying the industry
of months and years, and driving fam
lies from their homes, it might do
him some good to take week off
both day and night-from the man.
agement of his political machine, and
join our farmers in their heart-break-
ing struggle to hold back the raging
torrent.
If he thinks it is bunk to pay the
hundreds of thousands of dollars an
nually expended in the maintenance
of the dyke which serves as the only
protection to hundreds of farms from
the Colorado's encroachment, maybe
it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to
try his hand at the game, although
we know he doesn't care much for the
money. It might present him with
new angle to his pet theory of the
preservation of the peoples rights.
Of course it is waste of time to
suggest these things if the Governor,
knowing nothing of the Colorado river
and its problems, and caring nothing
refuses to learn. But it does seem to
us that little correct information
on the subject would enable him to
make more intelligent misstatements,
and thus to the better advantage cap
italize his opposition to river devel-
opment and his preservation of Ariz-
ona's rights" into an excuse for furth-
er perpetuation in office.
We are inclined to believe that he
would take that view of the matter,
too, if he were at all able to grasp
the question. But even if he cannot
understand it, and is therefore obliged,
as he has been doing, to thrash around
in the dark, still his proposition that
the need for flood control is "bunk"
is atrociously and viciously ineXcus-
able, and in words attributed to the
late lamented Champ Clark, we GER
tainly wish he'd quit kicking our dog
around"
