An Old Refrain

Document: Arizona Republic, Jan. 17, 1965Arizona Republic Jan, 17, 1965 An Old Refrain Interior Secretary Stewart Udall was back in Phoenix this week to address-at his own request-a joint session of the Arizona Legislature. The burden of his remarks was: "We may be closer than anyone dreams to bringing the water of the Colorado River into the central valleys of our state." That should certainly have a familiar ring to regular readers of the public prints. Stew spoke to the Phoenix Press Club in December and predicted that an important development was about to break in Arizona's fight for Colorado River water. Now, a month later, he's again shouting the good news for the benefit of Arizona audiences. The habit seems to run in the family. Last August his brother, Rep. Morris Udall, said he expected a major break in "a few short months." So far, of course, nothing has happened. Except that California says it won't object to the Central Arizona Project if Arizona agrees in advance to absorb any shortage in the current Supreme Court allotments. "Guarantee us our share of the river in perpetuity, while you reduce your own allocation if the river flow is reduced, and we'll vote for the Central Arizona Project." Some offer! We don't blame Stew Udall for hoping there will be a break soon on the Colorado River problem. Everyone in Arizona hopes there will be. But Stew has an added load to carry. He was largely responsible for blocking the Central Arizona Project as a single project, insisting that it be put into a grandiose Pacific Southwest Water Plan with all the revenues from Arizona dams going into a basin account that would help California as much as Arizona. Nor do we blame Stew for speaking before Arizona audiences whenever he gets a chance. His heart is set on a seat in the U.S. Senate, and some day he'll make the race. The more politicking now the better. But we are getting a little tired of hearing that some big water development is just around the corner. We'd like to see the development as a fact, instead of seeing it through the secretary's politically misted crystal ball.Epson Perfection 4870 Photo, 400 dpi, 24 bit, 1,127,709 byte

Priorities for Water Attacked

Document: Republic Washington Bureau, "Priorities For Water Attacked," 4/16/64Priorities For Water Attacked 4/16/64 Republic Washington Bureau WASHINGTON--Sen. Barry M. Goldwater, R-Ariz., warned yesterday that establishing statutory priorities on Colorado River water would open a Pandora's box of troubles. "The solution is the Southwest Water Plan, in my opinion," Goldwater said. "You guarantee water to everyone, and where is it going to come from if nature doesn't provide it?" Goldwater demanded of Dallas E. Cole, engineer of California's Colorado River Commission, during a Senate hearing. "I'm not a lawyer," Cole responded. "You don't have to be to answer that question. This is one of those days when I'm glad I'm not a lawyer," Goldwater rejoined. Goldwater demanded to know what would happen if Arizona insisted on a statutory guarantee of 2.8 million acre-feet of water from the lower river, matching Sen. Thomas Kuchel's, R-Calif., proposal that his state be guaranted 4.4 million acre-feet. "You're not getting 2.8 million acre-feet," Kuchel bellowed. "No, but we're going to," Goldwater informed him. The figures mentioned represent the amounts of water the U. S. Supreme Court said eachof the states is entitled to in years when the normal flow of the river into the lower Colorado Basin totals as much as 7.5 million acre-feet. Chairman Frank Moss, Dutah, cautioned the senators they were induiging in argument that provided the Interior subcommittee hearing with no helpful information. Cole had testified that his commission recommended approval by California of the basin plan for solving Southwest water shortages. But he said the commission has not approved specific details of such a plan. Kuchel demanded to know if Cole's commission recommended that measures authorizing the $1.1 billion Central Arizona Project, either separately or as part of a water plan, should contain a guarantee of California's 4.4 million acre-feet a year. Cole answered that this would be his commission's recommendation. However, Hugo Fisher, California resources agency chairman, told the committee earlier this kind of amendment would be neither neighborly nor would it solve the water problem. The hearing will continue today. Sessions are limited to an hour by the civil rights filibuster.Epson Perfection 4870 Photo, 400 dpi, 24 bit, 2,005,956 byte

Compassionate revanchism: The blurry geography of homelessness in the USA

In this article we move beyond the binary division between care and punishment in urban studies of homelessness to examine how caring institutions are themselves crucial to the punitive and exclusionary project of capitalist urbanisation. Based on ethnographic and archival analysis of homelessness management in Fresno, California, and Phoenix, Arizona, we show how punitive measures and institutions of care often emerge simultaneously and operate in tandem as part of a broader scheme for urban revitalisation. Further, we show how caring institutions themselves often perform the function of controlling homeless people’s movements in the city, while punitive institutions adopt more caring tactics. Thus, we argue for a focus on how compassion and criminalisation are regularly blurred
