Dailv Observer, 65c per Month
Few questions to be considered by
the next nersion of the legislature are
of such Importance to Union county
and eastern Oregon in general" us that
of Irrigation legislation. The hardest
fight of the last session was over the
proposed water code and the following
from the Portland Journal Indicates
that the fight is ot be, repeated at Sa
lem next month:
Most Important In Its possible ef
fect upon the future development of
Oregon pf all legislation which will
come before the next session of the
legislature, for enactment will be the
Irrigation code now In course of draft
ing. J. C. Bryant, representative-elect
from Multnomah county, has the bill
under consideration and is working In
line with the ideas of State Engineer
John H. Lewis, the expression of th
Oregon State Grange, and the plans of
the. Oregon commission for the con
servation of the .natural resources of
the state.
Jui'kMon's Bill the Model.
The new measure will be modeled
along the general plan of the board of
trade bill Introduced at the last ses
sion of the legislature by Representa
tive Perkins of Jackson county and
defeated by a narrow margin after a
bitter fight had been waged against It
by the representatives of water power
Interests In the house. .
The primary idea of the proposed
code Is that all waters within the state
from all sources of water supply belong
to the public and subject to existing
rights to their use, may be appropriat
ed for benefltcal use. '
Should Limit Permits.
The main points being considered
by Mr. Bryant are that the waters of
the state belong to the1 people of tht
state and can be used under certain
restrictions for beneficial use, that va
ters appropriated for Irrigation pur
poses become appurtenant to the land;
that water power permits given by the
state to Individuals or , corporations
should be limited to periods of 25
years, and that annual fees tp be fixed
by the legislature should be charged
for the use of power by corporations
developing It; that all . water power
corporations should be especially in
corporated, and that no corporation
shall be allowed to make application
for a second power site until It has de
veloped the Bite already held by It as
a grant from the state; that full state
menu of the construction and labor
of all power plants shall be filed with
the state engineer upon the completion
of any project, and that the state shall
reserve the right to buy, lease or con
demn any works at the expiration ot
ilia iei m ml ihe irmncmae or oeiore
that time and the stae shall have the
right and power to regulate the cost of
heat, light and power, used by the
state or by any Incorporated city or
town. ' ' ' ''
The great mass of litigation now
(pending in the courts of the state over
woter right shows clearly that there
IS urgent, need In Oregon for remedial
legislation. According to attorneys
who have made wuter contest a spe
cialty, there is no state in the union in
which the water laws are la such chaos
h In Oregon, under tue present taw
about the only way by which the
ter rights of the people In uny district
taking their water from the same
source could be adjudicated would be
for t'U'iJ" Jjviaou hoiuing iuuu in tnai
district to be made a party to a suit
of determination, and even then the
result would be uncertain.
It is expected that the coming ses
sion of the legislature will pass a wa
ter codo bill, as thero has been a
steadily growing demand for such, leg-
Islntion. There was such a demand at
the last session, but It was defeated by
the persistent efforts of a few water
power Interests. The men, who repre
sented these Interests will not b in the
present aesslon of the legislature and
La. Grande Prof essSonaf
Directory
It is i'xpected that the public demand
will be met. Mr. Bryant, as father of
tho Irrigation code bill of the present
session, will make Its success his prin
cipal effort during the session.
