Colorado land, which now produce valuable crops and 

 make good livings for many thousands of people, 

 would revert to the desert condition. And does any- 

 one think the state of Colorado has no interest in de- 

 fending a suit like this ? Is it fair to say : 'Let the 

 ditch companies defend their own rights?' These 

 ditch companies are operating under the laws of Col- 

 orado, and are using the resources which the state 

 of Colorado has permitted them to use, and has as- 

 sured them of their right to use. It would seem that 

 the state was under heavy obligation to protect these 

 people against attacks from the outside. 



"The ditch companies and land owners in the 

 Arkansas valley have to date expended something like 

 $5,000 in the defense of this case, and it has only be- 

 gun. It is to be hoped that the nineteenth general as- 

 sembly will see fit to pass an appropriation bill which 

 will be free from the defects which forced the Su- 

 preme Court to invalidate the appropriation made two 

 years ago."
