OUR COLORADO RIVER CASE is
GOOD BUT n MUST BE
WELL PRESENTED
ARIZONA Republican,


The time is rapidly slipping away
within which Arizona must prepare
to meet the Colorado river issue and
actually meet it. We had long since
made it an issue among ourselves and
we have had widely divergent views
as to what should be done about it.
But we have not taken into account
that there are other parties to the
case whose assent we must have be-
fore we can proceed upon any plan.
What we may decide among ourselves
will have little bearing upon the final
decision which will precede the devel-
opment of the river.
The geography OF the situation is
in our favor. We have sound moral
rights and we believe we lave strong
legal rights. 1t is admitted by out
siders that we have good case but
it has not been we'll presented. Our
case rests on the ownership of the
stream bed; the fall of the river with
in Arizona Of 1869 feet; the constitu-
tional r. /ht of Arizona to the use and
disposal of water under rules and
regulations which Arizona shall ap-
prove.

it did, only a division of the water
between the upper and lower basins
left a situation in the lower basin
which has brought about danger
Gus delay. We have been hopeful of
reaching an agreement with the 9TH
er states of the lower basin, under
which we should receive fair allo-
cation Of the water allotted to the
lower basin, and an equal division of
the allotted water between Arizona
and California after allowing Nevada
all it may need up to 100000 acre
feet, Arizona being entitled to all of
the water in the tributaries in Ari-
zona of the Colorado. A further con-
dition of the agreement would be an
annual revenue in lieu of taxation, to
the states in proportion to their con-
tributions of their natural resources,
these consisting, as we have shown,
of the ownership of the stream bed,
the fall of the river within the af-
fected states, and such constitutional
rights as they have to the use and
disposal of the waters flowing
| through or along their boundaries.
We were hopeful last spring when
| the Swing-J Johnson bill was held up
in congress that before congress
should again convene an agreement
including the foregoing principles
might be offered, inimical to the in
terests and rights of Arizona, but
which would be basis for substi-
tute for the Swing-J ohnson bill. 1t
is not yet too late, but it soon will be
to concentrate on this, Arizona's first
line of defense in the Colorado

REMARKS OF THE GANG

source that the gasoline tax of the
1928 legislature was available indefi-
nitely for the use of the state high
way department. The treasurer
questioned that advice and his sus-
picions regarding it were confirmed
by his private attorneys and were
sustained finally by the supreme
court, the opinion of the attorney
generals office to the contrary not
withstanding. Taking the whole
country over the lawyers are all
wrong half the time. Otherwise, the
practice of law would be a one-sided
and unexciting game.

How It Is Done

The rich and benevolent Mrs. Lion
shield came one day to bring charity
and brightness into the poor home OF
the Widow Peterson. She began,
however, with a long series of ques-
tions. Mrs. Peterson interrupted her.
'.This is new to you, ma'am?"
Mrs. Lionshield admitted it was.
"Then," returned Mrs. Peterson,
"I'll tell you what to do. You sit
down on this chair, read a chapter
out of the Bible, give me dollar and
leave!"

RATTLEsNAKE STORIES

Kingman reports that numerous rattlesnakes
are enjoying themselves promiscuously on the
Kingman golf course Flagstaff players are soon
to play return game at Kingman. Our players
are not used to rattesnakes, or even snakes which
have no rafting apparatus. In fact some are from
Ireland. While we do not wish to insinuate any
thing, wasn't it over Kingman way that rattle
snake won a ball game from an opposing team by
standing off fielder until the batter made base
hit stretch out to home run? We merely men
ton this in order that our fellows, who are even
nervous when they hear baby rattle, may take
along their sheet-iron snaps. The Kingman fell
lows are dam-site Boulder than our Glen players.
