<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Probably the most diffioul t taslc that this CcmmiS'sion haE' <br />to face will be the dissinution of the smoKe screenS that are <br />generated by these well-meaning though uninformed individuals. <br />This Com~ission has been created by state legislative enaot- <br />ment and by Feder~l legislation. I fail to see any possible merit <br />in suggestj,ons that aD' additional commission should be created, <br />representing bankers, labor unions. and so forth, and, if ~o. why <br />should the farmer b~ left out, especially as he has an agricultural <br />bloc in tho U. S. Senat8 to look after his interes.. The point <br />that I wish to emphasi8e is that State Rights Can be safely left <br />to the properly-cons'ci tuted authori ties in the stutes. Otherwise, <br />the people have the r€course of the ballot at the next election. <br />It is the deEiro of' tIle Chairman to confino the subjeots to be <br />discussed ot this meeting to the olcims of acreages for which <br />water allooutions are desired in the vLrious states. I will first <br />call upon Mr. Leslie S~unders. ~ccretary of the ~hamber of Commerce <br />of Las Vegas, to make a statement of the acreage th~t the State of <br />Nevada has available for irrigation and for which we believe that <br />legal apprO'9ria tions have been ma.de. <br />MR. SAUIlDl>RS: Mr. Chairman ErJd Gentlemen: AS Secretar:,' of <br />the Chamber of Commerce at Las VAg8S, I did not come here with <br />the,expectation of being heard; but came with the idea of listen- <br />ing. Heretofore we have been well satisfied up there with the <br />status of progress, and f01t that the case as it now rested in <br />the hands of the Commission was in the best possible hands in <br /> <br />P. <br />
