not the Governor, has been given
the final say as to what this agree
ment shall be. Our last legisla-
ture appointed a committee to
negotiate this agreement. The
present administration ignored
this committee. We will never get
anywhere with the legislature and
the Governor at loggerheads.
However able, the Governors
committee is without legal au-
thority and without official stand
ing with the other states. 1t can
get nowhere.
/ "I am against the Boulder Can
yon Dam.
"I am against Diamond Creek,
as an initial project. 1t must take
it's turn.
II am heartily for the Arizona
Glen Canyon Dam.
"The Boulder Canyon Dam de-
velopes the river at the wrong end
first. It developes it for the bene-
fit of one state and a foreign
Country-California and Mexico.
The Swing-Johnson Bill, which
fathers it, is wrong in principle.
1t is outrageous. It leaves Ari-
zona out.
"Glen Canyon is at the top Of
the river in Arizona. Boulder Can
yon is at the bottom. Boulder
Canyon browns five valuable dam
sites. Glen Canyon, together with
the dams below it leach with both
ends on Arizona soil), uses all Of
the river water and develops all
of. the power and fits into every
scheme for the development Of the
river.
"That is the way it was done at
Roosevelt. Who will say that
Mormon Flats should have been
built first? True, on the Colo
rado, low regulatory dam must
be BUILT on the lower reaches of
the river But that comes after
ward. not first. The Roosevelt
system should be applied to the
Colorado.
Taxation of the power gen.
Grated on the Colorado is vital to
Arizona. The right exists. The
machinery is lacking. Before any
development is permitted on the
river, the Arizona legislature must
enact the laws which will carry in
to effect this right of taxation. 1t
the layman does not, the lawyer
does know, that this is Arizona's
hardest legislative job. Every one
realizes this state has not right to
tax such projects as at Roosevelt
and San Carlos. This right of
taxation is limited to that char
acter Of development peculiar to
the Colorado.
"What about the pact? I am
against it's ratification. When we
have secured from California and
Nevada an agreement justly di-
viding the waters of the Colorado,
then let us talk about the pact. On
the division of the water public
opinion has crystallized in Ari-
zona. Government figures show
the flow of water into Arizona
