"The only water available for such
use in Arizona is from the Colorado
river system. If Arizona is deprived
of the use of a fair share of the
waters of the Colorado river drainage
area, of which she constitutes 40 per
cent, her future development is doom
ed. AS a consequence the handling
and settlement of the problems af-
fecting the Harvesting and develop
ment of the Colorado river and it's
tributaries becomes a matter of vital
and transcendant Importance to our
tate.
"The State of Arizona, through the
declarations of it's legislature and
particularly through it's governor, has
repeatedly stated that Arizona has no
wish or desire to deprive any other
state of a fair share Of the life
giving waters of the Colorado river
and only asks an equal cons Iteration
from the other states in the recogni-
tion of the rights of Arizona to live,
grow and prosper.
During his administration, Gov
ernor Hunt has made every reason
able effort to reach an amicable un-
derstanding with the states in the
lower basin in respect to the Colo
rado river The question of confer
ence was twice presented by him to
the chief executives of California
and Nevada. The Governor of Nevada
was agreeable to such conferences
but the Governor of California each
time refused to appoint conferees.
The governor of Arizona held meet
ing in Los Angeles, California, with
the Governor of Nevada at his in
vitation, to which conference the
Governor of California was also in
vited but failed to attend
"A committee appointed by the
legislature of California to confer on
Colorado river problems with COM
mittees representing Nevada and Ari-
zona, presented to the Arizona com
mittee demands which if acceded to
by the Arizona committee, would have
dedicated large areas in the State
of Arizona to the desert forever, The
Arizona committee is to be COM

proposals.
