Do you realize that the State
cf Arizona, except a few thou
sand acres down in the south
western portion. is wholly with
in the watershed of the Colo
rado River? Do you realize that
forty three per cent of the en-
tire water shed of the Colorado
River is in Arizona? Do you fur
ther realize that twenty-eight per
cent of the waters that go to
make up the Colorado River sys-
tenn comes from Arizona. Do you
realize that the great state of
California does not put a drop of
water into the Colorado River? ?
They haven't a stream that flows
into the Colorado, and that river
runs three hundred miles through
our state, and through the Swing
Johnson bill. California intends
to take all of the water and put
the power plants on the other
side of the river in Nevada. Is
that right? I tell you fellow citi-

Colorado Loses Water

Now, the farmers of Kansas,
Nebraska and Wyoming had taken
out water prior to tbs irrigate
Their lands, and when the people
of Colorado took out the water,
there was scarcity of water be-
low. In the course of time. litig-
auon commenced. 1t was in the
state courts and then in the fed
eral courts and then in the Sup
erior Court of the United States.
A decision was rendered in 1922
that priority of use of water gave
precedence, to the first user, and
the farmers of Kansas, Nebraska
and Wyoming got back their wa
ter rights from the people of Colo
rado. The people of Colorado, of
course, felt that as the waters or
iginated in their state, in their
mounta ms that they were entitled
to their use, but the Supreme
Court Of the United States
shattered their ideas, and
put a new proposition be-
fore them. Mr.. DELPHI Carpen-
ter, Of Colorado then prepared a
bill authoriz 'ng the seven basin
states to make compact. Colo
RADIO wanted to get by diplomacy
what she could not get by law.
Congress passed the bill authoriz-
ing the seven basin states of the
Colorado Basin, to make cam
pact and authorizing the Govern
ors of the seven states to appoint
delegates to divide and appro-
pirate the waters among the
commissioners met in Santa Fe in
November of 1922, and after a
discussion Of sevesal weeks, they
didn't follow the Act Of Congress
in apportioning the waters to the
states, but they created two bas-
ms, the upper and the lower
basin.
The upper basin states got all
the water they wanted and they
were sitting pretty, and they
wanted the compact ratified.

''I Am a Man of Peace"

You have heard Congressman
Hayden talk about this Governor
who is always raising cain out
here. I am always trying to fight
for my state. l am a man of
peace (aughter) try to be. Do
you realize when the hoof and
mouth disease was in California
when I was using all my energy
and the money, my constitutional
right gave me to take out of the
treasury of Arizona to protect
our hers-because I realized If
it got in the State of Arizona with
our open ranges it would ruin the
cattle industry and the sheep in
dustry Of this state, and I finas
ly got telegram from the presi-
dent of the United States to
change my attitude, and you
know I have been in the diploma
tic service, and 1 have a great
respect for the presidents office,
but he had never been out here
in Arizona, he didn't know any
thing about our state, and I told
him that if he would try and look
after the United States, I would
try and look after Arizona. Gap

Now, they say I am "dog in
the manger." am glad they say
that. l am glad that l could
fight for my commonwealth and
protect her from the greed Of the
power trust and those who want
to take from us what Is ours ana
give it to another state, because
we are the baby state. They are
trying to bully US and coerce us.
Huh. They'll have hot time. I
didn't swear either (Laughter). |
They say you can take Missouri
mule-I am a Missourian-to wa
ter, but you can't make him
drink if he doesn't want to. Now
Arizona is willing to go to the
water, sit at the council table,
when we can get our rights. Con-
gresham Hayden has explained
to you that the governor of Cali
fornia would not even appoint a
committee to confer. I want to
call your attention to the fact
that l did. Furthermore, when
Mr.. Heard came into my office,
he was one of the committee
appointed to help solve this ques-
tion, he felt that if he could see

Other States Ratify
Compact

Do you know within three weeks
the other six states ratified the
pact? But our legislature went
slow. They discussed it, and they
tried to get the facts, they tried
to find out what was right for
Arizona. 1t is true it was very
evenly divided. There was the
greatest PRONUNCIATION of news
and propaganda to try and con-
vince the people of Arizona that
the future happiness of this state
rested wholly upon the ratifica'
tion of this pact, and many good
people of Arizona were lead to
believe this because they did not
stop to think. Boards of Trade
and Chambers of Commerce, and
civic clubs. prayed the legislature
to ratify the pact, but they didn't,
and at the end of the session, 1t
wasn't ratified, and the dis
tinguished gentleman running the
Arizona Republican during that
session of the legislature was urg-
ing the ratification of the pact,
and he urged it many time. |

was the man that was stopping
progress of the State in not
ratifying the compact. Yes, he
contended this for three years.
Then / did a little propaganding
myself. 1 tried to enlighten the
people of the danger that con-
fronted them if they ratified the
pact without Arizona's rights be-
ing first protected. The next
legislature convened in 1925 and
again it was a bone of conten-
ton in both houses of the legls-
lature. Of course, in the last
campaign I had as my opponent

zona Republican, and the only
trouble with him, he is a very
astute and prominent business
man, but he puts self before state
and l put state before self Gap

glad he is doing it, because when
he does that. he is trying to harm
the people of Arizona

to make a man swear. You know
we use the word "dam' in Ari-
zona because we have so many
dams, and we will have more
dams as time goes on, but, this is
one thing, I have never yet de-
secrated the Sabbath by making
a political speech. My opponent
in this campaign does. I do that

Pact Fight Not Political
Conflict

l know what they are fighting
ior. DO you realize that this is
the greatest crisis that has ever
come before the people Of the
State of Arizona? 1t is not a
political contest, it is a great
economic conflict, and it dates
back for many years. For four
years the issue of the Colorado
River Compact and the Boulder
Canyon Dam have been before
the people of Arizona. Do you
realize that for quite a while 1
was singing a solo, and l am not
a very good singer either but l
can sure holler, especially if I
think / am being set down upon,
and l felt my state was being set
down upon, and / want to call
your attention briefly to some of
these things because they inter
est you, they affect the future OF
this state, they interest the pres
ent generation and the genera
tons to come. We must solve
this question and we must solve
it right.
am going to tell you / have
been fighting. When l return
ed from my distant post, in Siam
in 1922 1 didn't know anything
about the Colorado River Com
pact. Before 1 left Arizona,
1919 and 20, I had indorsed the
Diamont Creek Project. It was
gotten up by some local capital
in Arizona, ant at that time there
was no such thing as the Colo
RADIO River Compact, and I want
ed to see dams in Arizona, but
when / came back in 1922, Con-
gress had passed a Bill authoriz-
ing the seven states in the Colo
RADIO Basin to make a compact,
and that bill said that the seven
should appoint delegates to meet
at SAINT Fe, New Mexico, and
there divide or apportion the wa
ters between the seven states Of
the Colorado River Basin.
Now. was elected Governor
in 1922, in November, and in the
month of November these dele
gates met at Santa Fe, New Mex
leo, and instead of following the
Act of Congress and apportion-
Nogales international., 1926-10-31

ing these waters to the different
states, they created the upper
and lower basin, the four upper
basin states were to receive seven
and a half million acre feet of
water and the three lower basin
states were to receive eight and
a half million acre feet Of wa
ter.
Shortly afterwards by the Act
of Congress and through the Sec
retary of State of Washington, l
received early in January, 1928,
the Colorado River Compact, to
transmit it to the legislature,
which was about to convene in a
few days. Now I read that pact
over, and l had a good many
friends of mine that were inter-
ested in this read it over. That
pact said one thing, that when
once ratified, you couldn't change
it for forty years. You know,
you ladies have intuition and we
common men have lunches, and !
had hunch that something was
rotten in Denmark (1aughter)
Furthermore. felt that if we
signed that pact and then went
on for forty years before it could
be changed, we would have a fat
chance to get change and our
rights, hence, when the legislature
convened in January, 1923,
transmitted to that body the pact
| as promulgated at Santa Fe and
was sent to me by the Secretary
of State at Washington to trans
nit for the approval or rejection
by the legislature of the State
of Arizona. I felt that it was a
most important question, that we
Ihad no definite knowledge of oul
rights, we had no surveys made
1--we had had no investigation made
Ito know what our rights were
and my advice to the legislature
was to go slow. to study the oues
ton, and furthermore, I said ST

gress of large southwestern cities"
they mean Los Angeles-"and

nun ty by a dog in the manger

states rights. We believe the
first principle to be considered in
developing natural resources is

does not believe that. Her idea
is that large barren acreages in

sert rats IS more precious than
