RIVER COMPACT DELAY
GRAVE MISTAKE SAYS
SENATOR ST. CHARLES

s0phe apparent determination of
Governor Hunt to pigeon-hole the
legislative resolution which ratified
the Colorado river compact with
suitable reservations, means a delay
Of perhaps decade in the develop
ment of the river and, in my opinion
halts the march of progress of our
state and deals it a stunning blow,
said Senator Kean st. Charles OF
Mohave county, who was In Prescott
Friday and Saturday enroute home
He hasa son employed by the Santa
Fe there and most of his time in Pres
colt was passed with him.
There was nothing of vindictiveness
in the senator's statements, and no
caustic personal references to those
who disagree with him, but IN his talk
there was keen note OF regret and
a disappointment akin to sadness.
am growing DID," he said, like many
others, and it has been a passion with
me to see something done on the
great river-as | only could witness
the beginning-and to know that after
am gone, and the other pioneers
have passed beyond the great rim, the
dreams of ours some day will come
true. But hope is low with me now
and very much am afraid that sell
fish politics and irresponsible hllgh
line fanatics have placed a barrier be
tween Arizona and the prosperity the
Harvesting Of the stream would bring
that cannot be torn down for many
year.

idea. Of course am, and am prout
of it. Up in Mohave, the river en-
circles us as a nightly arm of limit

In his veto message the governor
declares that the attempt of the legis-
lature to legislate concerning the
compact has proved ab0rtive, assert
ing that no sophistry can explain
away the elaborate subterfuge in-
volved in the procedure which has re-
suited in the failure of the lawmakers
either to ratify the pact or reject it.
The veto message as contained in
letter of transmittal to the secre-
tary of state, reads in full as follows:

the resolution as passed, was trans

without first being sent to the office
of the governor, an action winch falls

Belief that the abolishment Of the
vocational educational department by
the seventh legislature had been fore
stalled by the discovery that the fifth
legislature in passing the financial
code had overlooked the repeal of a
continuing fund for vocational edu-
cation in the state was expressed by
the governor in letter to Secretary
Kerby attached to the bill.
The letter stated that the governor
had contemplated vetoing the entire
appropriation bill by reason Of the
fact that the seventh Legislature had
/ Overlooked" making an appropriation
/ for the department of vocational edu-
cation, but upon discovering that the
continuing appropriation for that
4 work, made by chapter IA of the ses-
sion laws of 1917 and ameaded IN
/ 1919 had not been repealed and was
still operative, he had changed his
mind and approved the bill as it was.
Vetoes Two Bills
/ Two bills passed by the seventh
legislature were vetoed last week by
Governor Hunt. They were senate
Il bill % and house bill Il. Nineteen
other bills, including the gen
eral appropriation bill and the motor
registration bill, were signed by the
governor. The other bills signed were
as follows House bills numbers 14g,

4 1873, Sc, 102, 1T and 148 and senate
H bill 20.
House bill n, vetoed, relating to
]. school elections, was vetoed by the
governor, he stated, for the reason
that it attempted to repeal paragraph
! 27281b of those laws and In so doing
eliminated the election board for the
holding Of such elections.
House bill 66 amends the statutes
relating to boards OF edueation
