\nBY THOMAS MADDOCK  \nThere is no dlispute among the states as to the necessity for flood control,drought prevention and silt elimiualon for the Imperial Valley in Califoruia.All of the other slx states in the Colorado basin have repeatedly slown theirwillingnesR to contrihute thelr storage faelltles to relieve California of theexpense of these items.But ench of the six states resents the snhterfuge ofCalifornia mąsking her desires to secure a monopoly of the water and powerof the Colorado Riyer behind her claims for relief from flood,drought,and sllt.  \nI doubt if any engineer wonld serlously contend that a flood invasion intothe Imperinl Valley would endanger life.It did not the last time the riverreturned to the old dry Alamo channel.Arguments regarding silt,drought,food and loss of life are therefore not pertinent.  \nThe question at issue is tlhe divislon among the states of the benefits tocome with the storage of water and the prodnetlon of power.  \nIt is contended that Arizona was wrong in being the only state to refuseto sign the Santa Fe Compact.As Arizona would be hurt by slgning thatcompact she is justifled in her refusal regardless of the faet that she wafor twhlle alone in her refusal.  \nThere is more land adjacent to the Colorado River than water with whichto irrlgnte it.Some land must he desert forever.Unrestrained econouleirrlgatlon development would oceur probably frst in Mexico,then in Californla,Arlzona and lastly Nevada and the four upper basin states of Colorado,XewMexico,Utah and Wyoming.  \nThe Santa Fe Compact provides no restraint on Mexleo development andis considered by many authorities to indirectly give her water hy restrieting forforty years the amonnt that may he used in the United States.  \nThe Santa Fe Compnct allotted a defnite amount of water to the upperhasin states and nature hns nearly dlvided it for them by the river tributaries,Thelr allotnent is large,prohahly beyond the neede of the states,and they  \nL:.ve an equal competitive chance to secure it.If the paet were sisned theywould not have to worry alont competing in developinent with Mexico,Californin or Arizona.  \nTle Santa Fe Compnet depends npon the law of prior appropriatlons todivide the water in the lower hasin.Between two and three mnillion acrescan he irrlgated from the main Colorado in the lower hasin after the upperhesin demands are aetliefled.Arlzonn has prlor appropriations for abont twohundred righty thousand acres of this Ineluding over a hundred thousnndaeres in Indian reservatlon.  \n# REASONS FOR ARIZONA'S OPPOSITION\n\nCalifornin is now using about one-quarter of the ultimate supply of thelower basin and cannot increase thls amount without storage In other states,bnt California has fillngs over thirty yenrs old on more water than was awardedithe three lower basin states by the Santa Fe Compact.Callfornia has thepopulation and the wealth to perfeet her approprlatlons and fake the water  \nThis means that Arizona with forty-three per cent of the Colorado areaas agnin","cbCaipjQ2qrdjzKU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipjQ2qrdjzKU","pdf",644167,11,"English","# Reasons\n## Necessity and scope of flood
