Show p utah etc tah andRou and boulder ider dam well fellow citizens of utah the time has come at last lad our state is called upon to make a decision and the most moment lous deci decision since it was tuto into the union in 1996 east of the wasatch Wasat cli range is 65 p per cent ot of all the water that our state may ever have all that it now has bouller dam would have us allocate these waturs to california upon certain condiE conditions lons california wants cheap power like san francisco and Is determined to get it although this will make that state a manufacturing area of great importance and although though tl our coal will then be much less la in demand still we do not want wani to hold that state back provided our rights are protected what are the rights prior to the he colliado chloi ado wyoming case it was supposed that all water in a state belonged to the state regardless or of appropriation in another state but that case as others less pronounced pronoun cea had indicated decided that priority holds as between two tivo or more states therefore california may appropriate the water in ill utah or running through it and it if the lower state Is first the he highest court will make them first hence priority of appropriations and use Is the whole thing but congress realizes that this Is ang such a big qua tion le ie gardie sn ol of courts that abat it 1 aj

I 1 it to other states by federal decree ot df course there la ia a semblance of state compact or inter state treaty but in ill reality such organization has been perfected so many friends induced to join the crowd that this is only partially recognized recognised I 1 outlands are largely still fel lyal elal utah owns only about fifteen acres out of 0 litty two million acres slid and this difference is owned by undo uncle sam to make hi ilam game most urgent the federal government withdrew power bights on the liver systems and still holds them sewed up this was iwas done tor for one reason among two or three and to me it is the big idea viz lo 10 forb this colorado compact having ane land the federal te dwal government could withdraw it from entry although within amil aad a part

we bellee believe they will it if we ever needed strong men mea it Is now fortunately governor dern has made quite a study of this whole thing and per his message we believe he will stand tar fox a
