of such power.
40 The United States shall
not sublet to any person or per-
sons, association or private or
municipal corporation, the right
to construct or operate power
plants provided for in the Swing
Johnson bill.
Your subcommittee suggests
that if the aforementioned re-
.servations, in your opinion, pro
tect the rights of the state of
Utah, committee of not less
than three members may be ap-
poined by the governor Of the
state of Utah, to proceed to
Washington, D. c., to learn
whether the Swing Johnson bill
can be so amended as to be
satisfactory to the state of Utah.
Said committee shall report back
to the governor of the state of
Utah, and if the said Swing-John-
son bill cannot be satisfactorily
amended, then your committee
respectfully recommends to the
governor and the legislature of
the state of Utah the immediate
repeal of the enactment of the
state of Utah giving is adherence
to the Colorado river compact"
Governor Frank C. Emerson,
of Wyoming, who was the Wyom-
ing commissioner at the Santa
Fe conference, said that in his
opinion Utah will be acting "a
bit hasty", if it passes the bill
to annul Utah's ratification of
the six-state compact.
Likely it is the idea of the
senator and Governor Dern to
stand by the seven-state compact" :"
said Governor Emerson. "but
clauses Of the Swing Johnson
bill, which is now before CON
gress, covering the six-state agree
ment, apparently give US ample
protection.

to keep both of them"
Governor Fred B. Balzar, of
Nevada, declined to comment on
the bill introduced in the Utah
state senate annulling Utah's
ratification of the six-state Colo

nor expressed surprise that such
a bill should be introduced and
said he would withhold comment
until he had received a report
from True Vencill, his personal
representative.
Apprised of the bill introduced
in the Utah senate yesterday an
nulling Utah's ratification of the
six-state compact, Governor Hunt
today said only that the Arizona
"has always been
opposed to the six-state pact,
OF course and favorable action
by the Utah legislature on this
measure would seem to me to be
an idication that Utah was being
won over tothe side of Arizona
in the colorado river contro-
versy."
Arizona was not party to the
six-state pact, and the Arizona
legislature twice has refused to
ratify the seven-state pact drawn
up at Santa Fe, N. NJ, in 1922.
The necessity of passing Colora-

tions were lower. Wheat was u to

corn was q to 13s lower, and oats
were ssto 5s lower.
This is the fifth successive day
for lower prices in all grain pits
here. Gables from Liverpool were
lower than expected and played aarl
important part in sending prices
down here. Wheat buying was held
in check by continued excellent

Corn continued to be under liqui-
dation of longs, with al traders
watching the weather. So far it
has been most advantageous to the
growing crop. Unless some unex-
pected buying influence enters this
pit, prices will continue to be low
while the weather favors the new
crop.
Harvest conditions for the oats
crop were reported to be fair, but
the commercial demand is slow, and
this pit is guided by prices Of other
grains.
