People the Asset of Government.

Mexico are working together to ex-
plot the power and irrigation of this
great river from Arizona and the Uni
ted States of America.
To put over this great exploitation
scheme thru the Compact or some
supplemental compact, the building Of
the Boulder Dam, which is a power
dam or the Diamond Creek Dam, also
a power dam, which efforts we have
been fighting for the past three
years and has been the plan of the
adroit schemers to destroy and limit
irrigation.
A Compact which would divide the
water so that Arizona and the Ma
tion could only build power dams
without including irrigation as the
laws demand, would help them ac-
cOmplish their scheme.
Power Trust Propaganda
Limits Irrigation
There is power trust propaganda
going on in Arizona and the United
States, which is misleading the people
into thinking that we are having an
oversupply of irrigated land and the
products derived from them. Nothing
could be more false. Arizona and
the Nation are shipping in large quan-
titles Of all kinds of agricultural pro
ducts which we are raising and pack
ing here now.
Anyone knows that it takes a large
volume of production to make a good
economical and competing market. No
State or Nation is impoverished or
suffers from oversupply, especially OF
raw food products. It's wealth de
pends upon the amount it can export
OF course to discourage irrigation
would enhance power projects with
out irrigation) and thus the power
trust could easily monopolize power
insufficient Water Reports are False
That there is insufficient water in
the Colorado river to irrigate large
projects in Arizona is a false report
broadcasted by the power trusts to
help their scheme to steal the power
With the legal, maximum, beneficial
economical use of water, the present
average flow of the Colorado River
System measures twenty-four million
acre feet, including present used
rights, which will double in the fu-
ture.
In addition to the above the pres
ent duty of irrigation water will
serve in the future two or three
times the acreage it now does. In
creased irrigation makes more rain
fall.
Only Operative Plan Gives Work
It is necessary to build power dams
alone, or pass compact, to confine
ArlzOna's irrigation water to the min
imum, which would destroy many IL
rlgation projects and the building Of
the Glen Canyon Irrigation Dam.
Bridge Canyon Diversion Dam, and
power dam, and the Arizona High
line Canal which would irrigate three
and one half million acres of land
in Arizona.
The Highline irrigation plan posi-
lively gives the quickest maximum
beneficial, economical development
to the Colorado River for Arizona
and the other Basin States as we'll
as to the Nation. We have been
getting and will continue to get the
assistance of the Government for this
plan, as it serves the people and the
laws, and the people and the laws
are the government
The saving from exploitation of
ArizOna's and the Nations Power and
Irrigation life will commence develop
ing the greatest civilization ever
known and lay great base for agri-
culture, homes and manufacturing
This gives labor great opportunity
for homes and all kinds of work for
the present and future
Labor has done much in the past
and never in the history of any State
has a State so needed labors contin-
ued and increased assistance to save
and develop it's life, as Arizona needs
right now
