Action of the Utah legislature in voting to repudate
inc ok State compact is genuinely regretted in I'M
peflal valley and among all supporters of the SWING
Johnson bill, who have heretofore felt gratifed that
only Arizona of the states most vitality concerned III
The Colorado river development was inclined 70 adopt
tactics designed to defeat the bill.
Utah'S action does not surprise however,
to those closely in touch with affairs regarding the bill
The present by Utah intimated far back
5 year ago.
Even at the time of Governor Derns visit here
era weeks ago, those who talked with him detected
feeling that Utah executive not any too friendly
sympathetic with CALIFORNIA; problems, even
though he declined to commit himself to Jtah's
course of action.
While at first thought it would seem that repudia-
ton of the compact by Utah might seriously nure the
chances of the Swing Johnson bill passing at The pres
ent session of congress, this view not held by those
who are at close touch with affairs at Washington.
In their opinion the bill has attained such momentum
at this time, that the detection of Utah is not
likely to defeat it. The bill has some enemies in cong
ress and host of lobby enemies but it also has large
number OF staunch supporters i'll both houses Of
congress and among influential men in the admnlstra
ton.
Again yesterday, President Coolidge expressed the
hope that the bill may pass at this session of congress
While the president has his troubles with congress- he
is by no without a large following there
enough undoubtedly, to pass any measure that he
endorses.
1t is not time to admit defeat of the bill. Far
from it, It's chances better at this moment than
before with Utahs action taken into consid
GRAFTON. This the time all of pull together
to aid in getting the bill over the final obstacles.
One of doing this is by writing letters to cong
ressmen, or to influential friends, urging them tc
list the aid of their senators and representatives Val
ley residents who neglect this valuable aid are de-
plorably lacking in desire - help themselves.
The SWING bill is the biggest piece of
sructye legislation facing congress today Members
of the house and going do considerable
thinking before they register adverse it. The
way to make them think favorably of the bill is
acquaint them with the facts. Congressman Swing
and his assistants are doing that in Washington We
can help from this end by writing letters
