Colorado river located at Boulder
canyon. Neither is it the most eco
nomical place to start development of
the river from the viewpoint of de-
veloping its maximum potentialities.
A dam at Boulder canyon, of the
height proposed, would destroy at
least two other damsites which could
be used for the development of hydro
electric power, at least one of which
1t is proposed to use as a diversion
dam for irrigation purposes. Building
dam at Boulder canyon would un-
necessarily destroy something of ma
terial advantage to the state Of Ari-
zona in the future. | believe that the
state of Arizona should resist in
every way possible the construction
canyon.
The next step in a constructive pro-
gram, in my judgment, if apportion-
ment of the waters of the Colorado
river is decided upon, should be recog-
milton of the equities of the upper
basin states; an agreement with Cali
fornia and Nevada, and probably Utah
which would definitely determine such
questions as taxation, power royalty
and the diversion of water; and that
in conjunction with the federal gov
ernment, a flood control and storage
reservoir be built in the vicinity of
Lee Ferry which would control the
flow of the Colorado river. In order
to meet the immediate demand for
power, claimed to exist in southern
California and Nevada, early develop
ment Of power dam could be under
taken at practical damsite in the
lower river, either at Diamond Creek
or some adjacent site.
Arizona's immediate need is facts;
definite,' reliable and accurate data
as to the legal rights of this state;
engineering facts which will supply
additional data necessary for the de-
termination of what it is practical to
look forward to in the way of recla-
nation of arid lands in the state, and
economic data, and also further
study and determination of under
ground sources of water supply which
would make agricultural lands avail
able through pumping if cheap hydro
electric power were provided.
Every state in the basin has spent
many times more money than has Ari-

zona in determining their rights and
possibilities. Arizona is really the
only state without adequate informa-
tion. Common sense and good busi-
ness dictate that this information
should be acquired.
A bill was submitted at the last
election, under the initiative, to the
people, who were asked to vote $780,
900 for this purpose. While it OBJ
tanned good vote, yet it failed, due
IN large measure to the general atti-
ture of the people to vote against all
initiative and referendum measures.
| respectfully urge that the sum of
100000, or as much thereof as may
be necessary, be appropriated to be
made Immediately available for the
purpose of securing the services of
legal counsel, engineers and econom-
lists to undertake to determine def
nitely Arizona's legal status with
reference to the Colorado river, and
such additional engineering and other
data as may aid in answering the
questions at issue and lead to the ear
ly development of the Colorado river.
If this fund is appropriated, l can
assure you that the work will be car
ried on by men whose integrity and
standing will carry respect and conf
dence in their findings.
| further recommend that provision
be made in the bill for the coopera-
ton and assistance of the United
States departments of irrigation and
the geological survey and
such other bureaus as may be of as
sistance, and, if satisfactory arrange
ments can be made, that cooperation
with adjacent states be arranged for.
To summarize, as policy for the
state, | would urge that the state of
Arizona can feel safe in depending
upon the law as it now stands for the
and protection of our
rights, and that, unless a supplement
tary compact can be made with Cali
fornia and Nevada which will be salts
factory to this state, that the pro-
posed Colorado River compact be re-
jected; and that, in any event, the
Boulder canyon project should be OPP
posed by this state as uneconomlc IN
that it will submerge other practical

and power possibilities of great value

and | am convinced that the building
of bridge at Pierce Ferry and one
at Lee Ferry, together with the ne
cessary approaches, at this time would
be to the economic advantage Of the
state of Arizona. /, therefore, recon-
mend that an appropriation be made
to provide for the building of these
structures. ! believe that the federal
government will bear half of the ex-
pense of constructing the bridge at
Lee Ferry.
Building Program
Since the war the state of Arizona
has done very little construction work
at any of the state institutions, in
cluding the university and state nor
NAL schools. All of them have prac-
tically reached the maximum capacity
and it is necessary that new buildings
be constructed.
At the state university it is esti-
mated that $275, 900 will be needed as
an emergency fund in this fiscal year
to continue the construction that has
already been started, so that it may
be available during the present semes-
ter, and that 100000 should be made
available for construction during the
fiscal year, 1926-27.
The Northern Arizona Normal
school has included in its budget re-
quest for an appropriation for a
gymnasium, residence for the presi-
dent, and additions to its dormitories,
and other improvements which total
S95 900 for the biennium.
The state industrial school has sepa-
rate quarters for boys and girls. It is
advisable that land be secured at
some location other than Fort Grant
and an appropriation made for the
of a new school for the
girls.
The Pioneers home is filled to ca

pacity and there is a long waiting list
of pioneers who are eligible for ad-
I mittance.
/ The Arizona state prison is filled
to maximum capacity and something
must be done to provide additional
quarters.
The state capitol has become too
small to adequately house and ac-
comodate the various departments.
In the Enabling act, $4,000 acres of
land were set aside to be used for
maintaining miners hospital and
home. Some definite steps should be
taken to start this institution. | call
your attention to the necessity of pro-
viding an institution for. the education
of detectives other than deaf, dumb
and blind children.
Education
Your attention is particularly call
ed to the matter of school bonds. The
survey points out that the taxpayers
of the state might have been saved
several million dollars through more
judicious procedure in the sale of
bonds.
Reimbursement of Losses
/ suggest that the farmers of the
Postvale district be reimbursed for
unnecessary expenditures which they
were compelled to make in connection
with the boil weevil quarantine.
Public Lands
Since statehood the total revenue
derived from sales and leases of state
land amounts to approximately $4,-
100000. This is wholly inadequate
and constitutes very small endow-
ment from the federal government to
the state of Arizona for various state
institutions. / suggest that congress
be memorialized in connection with
this matter and asked to set aside adj
ditional public lands for the building
up of a permanent school fund and the
maintenance of our various institu-
tions.
The Proposed Colorado River Compact
| believe those sponsoring the Boul-
der canyon dam are concerned with
power and irrigation possibilities pri-
marily and flood control as a second
airy issue.
1t is not to the economic advantage
of the state of Arizona, either from
power or irrigation standpoint, to
have the main control dam in the

made to have flood control and stor-
age dam constructed in the vicinity
of Lee Ferry; that the status of the
Diamond Creek permit be determined
and, if right be found to exist, that
the permit be revoked, the site ac-
quired for Arizona, and its present
holders recompensed for expenditures
made; that special charter be grant
ed to the state to engage in the de-
velopment and sale of hydro-electric
power either on its own initiative or
in cooperation with other states, mu-
inequalities, the United States, or
other agencies; that development be
undertaken under state auspices at
Diamond Creek or an adjacent site
which engineers may determine as
most practical, with the title vested
in the state of Arizona; and that ade-
quate finances be made available to
acquire the engineering, economic and
legal data needed by Arizona. Con-
ferences are now under way which |
am hopeful may lead to early solution
of some of the problems involved.
