ends in Arizona they may as we'll be
in China for all the good they will
do us.
For instance, if the Boulder can
yon dam site is built, the turbines will
be in Nevada; the water impounded
will be used to irrigate the Chucka-
walla valley in California; the pow
er generated will be used in Califor-
MIA; several all-Arizona damsites will
be covered up. Arizona will get the
privilege of collecting taxes on one
end of piece Of masonary, provided
it ever passes to private ownership.
Furthermore, Douglas dares to tell
us that the Swing-Johnson bin is go
ing to be passed by congress unless
Arizona gets together with the two
other lower basin states upon, some
reasonable plan of development. For
the influence of Arizona at Washing
ton is exactly nothing compared with
that of California, now combined with
the upper basin in scheme to ignore
our vast, sparsely populated and
therefore politically insignificant
state.
we are warned Dy douglas that our
mines are being depleted and must be
replaced by some resource unless the
already heavy burden of taxation
upon our farming lands becomes COM
pletely unbearable. A tremendous
area of farming land must be placed
under cultivation before it can APP
proach in taxable value the mines
which are now bearing 48 per cent
of the load. Grazing, of course, has
reached its limit.
Therefore, unless we can get the
Colorado developed by series Of
dams with both ends in Arizona, and
can levy taxes on the power gene
rated for transmission beyond the
borders of the state, the Grand Can
yon will continue to be merely a
scenic asset to us. If the Boulder
Canyon dam is built, creating much
wealth for California and none for
Arizona, it may be generations before
there is any further development of
the stream that is capable of deliver
ing 100000 horsepower.

In its latest issue, the Mesa Jour
nal Tribune carries the following
thoughtful editorial concerning the
Colorado river development:
Voters of Arizona are this year
hearing from candidate whose
method of campaigning is certainly
unique. Not exactly unprecedented
but at least unusual, very different
from that of the ordinary politician.
Probably Lewis w. Douglas, cam
didate for congress, does not deserve
any particular credit for the way he
is presenting his message to the peo-
Instead of blaring high-sounding
nothings about ''your sacred and in
alienable rights" and "the glorious
future of our wonderful state" Doug
las is telling the voters the truth,
much of it unpleasant, about them
selves and their state.
We have had many an alluring
picture painted for us, by office-seek-
ers whose only real convictions were
that they needed jobs, of an inland
empire that would be one uninter-
rupted stretch of fertile farms, rich
mines and busy factories from Utah
to Sonora, from New Mexico to Cali
fornia. In the last few years most
of these glittering prophesies have
been based upon development of the
Colorado river. The Colorado is to
be diverted over our deserts through
canals that are to cost a scant $780,
100000 or SO, and through 160-mile
tunnels. 1t is to furnish practically
free power for mines, cotton mills.
silage cutters and curling irons, and
pay all our taxes forever and ever,
amen! Only elect somebody or-other
in order that he may protect our God
given heritage from the grasping this
or-that.
Douglas dares to stand up and tell
the voters that Arizona won't get
anything much out of the Colorado
unless she reserves, fights for and es-
tablishes her right to impose royal
ty tax on power generated in this
state And unless the river is devel-
oped by means of dams with both
