PROVISIONS OF COLORADO.
RIVER PACT MAY RESULT.
In LITIGATION in COURTS

Provisions of the Colorado river
compact may result in litigation be-
tween states in the upper and lower
basin, should drought year prevent
states from receiving the ALLEGATION
of water prescribed by the pact, Sol
icitor Davis of the commerce depart
nnent told the house irrigation COM
mittee.
Testimony of Davis, who represent
ed New Mexico in the past negotia-
tions, was sought by the committee
in connection with hearings on the
Johnson-Swing bill proposing govern
mental construction of a dam at Boul-
der canyon.
/. Davis said if he were representing
upper basin states he would contend
the pact gave them prior rights to all
water, but added that a court, in all
probability, might insist on an equal
division of the water. He explained
he was discussing hypothetical condi-
tions and he believed there was suf-
ficient water for all.
Immediate construction of a flood
control dam, Davis asserted, was nec-
essary, as under present conditions
the quota of water for the lower basin
could be sent down during flood sea-
son. He declared without waiting fol-
ratification of the pact, as ample
protection to the rights of upper ba-
sin states could be written into the
measure.

NEWS GENERAL THE STATE OF ARIZONA
COUNTRY PRESS HAS
GREATEST INFLUENCE

Chas. Moreau Harger, in the April
Scribner, discusses the powerful in
fluence which the rural press has ex-
erted in the making of nation,
coming as it does close to the
hearts of it's readers, the old home
paper-even if its policy be not al
ways commended-commands respect
and confidence"
He shows that to the family in the
country town or on the farmstead,
the weekly visit of the country paper
or the small city daily is an event en-
joyed by all.
Cartoonists in the metropolitan
press have visualized for the public
ridiculous and peculiar type as rep
resenting the country editors person
atty, but this writer shows that hls
readers know him and are not dis
illusioniZed.
"He is close to his constituency.
Further, it is a constituency with
more leisure than any other, more
time for reading the news and oplrl-
ions of the day." This makes the
country paper a vehicle of opinion
and a mode of political leadership.
The country paper is loyal to the
government and continues to take a
large part in earnest discussion OF
public affairs from disinterested
standpoint. It is the country weekly
and smaller city daily that makes the
path of radical and demagogue diff
cult, standing as it generally does for
prosperous, independent American
| homes.

FIRST JAGUAR BROUGHT
DOWN IN STATE KILLED

streaks of wilderness from central
America to northern. Arizona ended
last week in the first jaguar known
to have been captured in this state,
it was revealed Monday by M. E.
Musgrave, federal predatory animal
inspector.
