UinbahBasin FIFTY CENTS PEE YEAH JULY 1, 1927, CHOOSING Water Deal Would Bill Would Have California and Old Mexico Irrigated and Upper States Sign Away Sacred Eights. Swing-Johnso- n Governor Hunts recent visit to Utah and the meetings called by Governor Dern wherein Utah leaders met the Arizona fighters, gave qs a little more vision or information on this Swing-Johnsbill. It should be called the Johnson-Swin- g it is Swang Swong Sweetie. sweet, so sweet, for California, contributing no water, just the hot air, and lo. Old Mexico has a bigger acreage than California. But they demand a steady flow, a minimum of so much assured storage, and then they may get federal money. To get this the ideal plan is to have the seven states concerned sign up an agreement giving in propetuity their rights. Arizona opposes the plan because it will, if put over, take vast wealth in the form of hydro-electrenergy and make it tax exempt so far as Arizona is concerned. Our old friend. Judge Hollenbeck, should not feel so bad about helping the power trusts. Any trust, even Uncle Sam, may do business for less money if taxes and insurance are eliminated. But is it to wealth of take this kind right and make it tax free? This is straight socialism or communism, this deal our California statesmen and capitalists would put over us. It is rather a far fetched cry to read about the poor trusts being given a needed jolt, when as a mat ter of fact, California wants power to lift a large volume of water 1000 feet from the river to lands to be reclaimed. This is federalized deal dherein Arizona gives away rights ia to another state, permitting to use energy for pumping water 1400 to 1600 feet above the river and free of taxation. Los Angeles is asking for more water for the city than about six of our largest cities now use, according to Governor Hunt, because evaporation is very heavy, rainfall part of the year is nearly zero and is a clime of perpetual summer, much water 13 needed. Then Old Mexico comeB in for a big realiza on ic Cali-iforn- Paper Has 2200 Subscribers be-liv-es Cal-ilorn- ia pro-Californ- ian s Tabulations of cow testing records made in the U. S. show Department of Agriculture that selection of the bull is perhaps the most important factor to of a high producing, economical dairy herd. At the present time 216 purebreu sires have been proved by comparing the records of five or more daughters with the records of the uams of the daughters. A large number of purebred sires have been partially proved by comparing the records of one or more daughters with the records of the dams of the daughters. Data from these records so far tabulated show that about one third of the purebred sires are lowering the production of their daughters in comparison with the production of the dams of these daughters; about one third are raising the production slightly; whereas the great increases are coming from only about one third. The higher the production of the herd the more difficult it is to raise production through the sire and the greater need for using a bull of proved ability. may use the water running within its borders for its own beneficial purposes, without let or hindrance. Approximately 45 per cent of all the farm land that Utah may ever Irrigate, is In this Colorado river watershed and most of this is in our Uintah Basin. We Uintah Basin people have merely scratched the area. Present agricultural wealth and acreage are now but one-thideveloped on the land reclaimed, and that is a generous figure for opponents. Federal fishing parties have tied up large areas, or a fed- eralization, already bad enough, ha3 been made permanent at the option of federal chiefs, unless our representatives In congress fight for our rights. It is like adding insult to injury to . have our state talked into granting a minimum flow for a big reservoir down in Arizona for use in California. Governor Dern and Senator Auerbach and a few others, seem determined to protect us, and we owe them our gratitude But should we not help to protect ourselves? Duty answers yes. On this former reservation there are no big rich men, but we may make up in organization what we lack in number. (By J. P. MAY) as-soci- aton tion of steady flow. Governor Hunt is a unique character. He served fifteen years in his state legislature and his state has elected him Governor five times, hence Arizona their leader is worthy their cocfidnce and they know he will be on the firing line. The idea that this California-Mexic- o deal wont hurt Utah is ail bosh. Clever work has been planned and carried out for several years. Vast areas are withdrawn in our Uintah Basin as repossed projects, and one as a- - proposed reservoir covering the Ouray section, coming nearly to Randlett, Jensen, and Junction of Hill and Willow Creek. Federal preliminary surveys on the deals have proposed irrigation placed the cost beyond present inducement out here. However, a study of the details of these surveys should convince everyone that has been playing a big game for many years. It may be that it seems-bes- t to our Utah leaders to have to hold us down out here a tew years while the Provo deal is xput over. This Swing-Swan- g deal. Is as proposed, a plan wherein Utah would fundamental sign away rights. If the upper states do not sign away such rights then why do big men In southern Calif., want us to sign up? Those men indicate that it wont hurt Utah one iota but if that is true, why do governors and other leaders try to get us to sign up. Every lawyer knows the story of land and water id public states, in all states west of the original thirteen colonies. Now there are Just eleven states that have land offices all the others having cleaned up and Uncle Sam has quit the land game. But many of these mountain states have vast areas of federal domain Utah has about thirty-fiv- e' million acres of this "domain while the government controls our lands, to the ratio of about thirty-fiv- e out of fifty-tw- o, or 35 to 17, owns Utah the water, has the power of directing its use, passing title or right to its use and the federal government has no more right concerning the water than the private party or individual.
