Show __3__ Whereas, these water filings and water rights have been filed with the Federal Power Commission and the state water commissioner and other officials; and Whereas, Mexico and its water users and landholders in the delta of the Colorado River in Mexico have been notified by Fred T. Colter, as trustee for Arizona, that he had made these water filings above mentioned and has kept up due and reasonable diligence thereon and that vested rights have been obtained thereon and that any water they had put to use, or water for which they attempted to get rights, were protested against, and would be at their own risk and hazard; and Whereas, it is essential that the United States and Arizona in order to protect their water rights take note of these facts; therefore be it Resolved by the House of Representatives of the Eleventh Legislature of the state of Arizona that this information be conveyed to our representatives in Congress and that they be urged to do all they can in the event of a treaty being made with Mexico to protect Arizona and the nation in their said water rights, and that copies of this resolution be sent to our United States Senators Hayden and Ashurst and our United States Representative Douglas, and the members of the United States Treaty-making Commission with Mexico, all members of the United States Senate, President of the United States, Roosevelt, his newly appointed Secretary of State Hull, his newly appointed Attorney General Walsh, Governor of Arizona, the Arizona Colorado River Commission, and the Attorney General of Arizona.
