Washington, d. C.-Declaring that

this time a general downward revision
OF rates on farm products, including

The commission admitted, however,
there were many inequalities in the
rates structures in certain sections of
the west which should be corrected.
Carriers in the west, the commits
sion said, appear to be both financial
ly and physically sound" although it
was added that certain of the import

told his hearers that the first duty
of the state in the Colorado river
problem, was to ascertain all OF

rights, although he believed that
arbitration was better than ex'
pensive and long-drawn out litiga-
tion.
Judge Clark defined Arizona's
rights in the river as:
/. In appropriations Of water
made for irrigation and perfected
by use.
2. In the filings that have been
made by the state for storage ane
power sites. These cover most Il
not all of the available sites lyinG

3. In the ownership by Arizons
of the bed of the stream, II D'
established that the Colorado is 1
navigable stream, which ownership
would give Arizona a command

vate interests or the federal gov

4. In the fact that any dar
that may be constructed betweel
the Utah line and the mouth o
the Grand Canyon will be who'll,

advantage in the levying Of
