ton of pass books show that many
depoSitorS were credited with de-
pOsits on their pass booHS and the
: deposits never entered on the book,

which Holland kept.
The assets of the bank consist OF
about $4,000 in securities, some OF
which are known to be worthless
$4,000 collcctable on Hollands bond
and bank fixtures probably worth
$500. 1t means that an assess
ment will be levied against every
stock holder in the bank, each STOCK
holder being required by law to put
up an amount equivalent to the
amount of his stock i'm the bank.

BISBEE LAWYERS
THINK COLORADO
RIVER u. S. ASSET
lRu nisnatch A p. Wirol

TUCSON, April 26-'It must be
frankly admitted that the Colorado
river so far as it's development is
concerned, has been Withdrawn by
the nation from the sovereignty OF
the state of Arizona and must pc
regarded as "a national asset IS
the opinion of John M. Ross and
James S. Casey, Bisbee attorneys, as
expressed in a letter taking issue
with the views of Governor G. W. Z.
Hunt and supporting those expressed
editorially by the Arizona Daily Star.
Ross is a republican, Casey demo-
crat. Both are members of the law
firm of Ellinwood and Ross, Bisbee
and Phoenix.
"The whole question is this; If
the state of Arizona has certain
rights, those rights should be safe
guarded. They cannot be safeguard
ed until they are ascertained If
adoption of the pact as written, in
wolves any REIMBURSEMENT of those
rights, and delay does not work a
greater prejudice to the state rights
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-04-27

then we ought to withhold adoption
until the river freezes over at Yuma,
the letter says.
"On the other hand, if the best
interests of the state are to be sub
served by the adoption of the pact,
and such adoption does not involve a
relinquishment of state rights, and
furthermore, if it is the only way
in which development of the river
may be brought about, then we ought
to adopt the pact forthwith.
AS for the right of taxation, it is
not to be controlled by the (Santa
Fe) compact but rather, by the at
tributes of dual sovereignty fixed
in the constitution of the United
States and the constitution of Ari-
zona Whatever right of taxation
the state has, cannot be changed by
the adoption or rejection of the pact
write Ross and Casey, who conclude
their letter with the statement as
follows:
THAT this statement may not be
al popular one within the state of
Arizona must be admitted by any
fair minded person. to be entirely
beside the question. When an indi-
vidual finds himself involved in a
legal controversy and consults law
yer, he expects and is entitled to
straight forward statement of what
his rights are, and he would not long
maintain his connection with any
lawyer, who, instead of telling him
what his rights are, tells him they
