Show Idahoans Asks Pact Change Washington Representative Addison Addi-son T. Smith of Idaho, chairman of the house irrigation committee, stirred up a hornets' nest by publicly appealing to the Utah legislature to reverse itself it-self and vote Utah back into the sU-state sU-state Colorado river compact This appeal was incorporated in a statement state-ment which Mr. Smith issued to the press. His statement clearly admitting admit-ting that, with Utah out of the compact, com-pact, the Swing-Johnson bill cannot pass congress. Senator Smoot was in clined to ignore the statement as of no consequence, and one which wou,d receive scant attention in the Utah legislature. "Of course," said the senator, sen-ator, "anyone anywhere can appeal to the Utah or any other legislature, but I have confidence that our legislature will know what to do with this situation." |
