WATER LAWS
Regent ol University of
Kansas Dismisses Devel
opment and Control
SPOKAXK, Wash., 1-Yb. IS. " Kilher
co-operative statu laws or fed era 1 law
.will eventually regulate the witter sup
ply, not by riparian "rights nor by the
priority right, but by the equitable dis
tribution of water in the irrigated dis
tricts." P. V. Blaekmnn of Lawrence, regent
of the Uuiversity of Kansas, lays em
phasis upon the for?going in a letter to
11. lusinger, chairman of the local board
S of control of the 17t'i national irriga
tion congress, of which lieoige 'E. Har
row of Barstow, Tex , is president. He
suggests that the congress, which will
meet in Spokane August l to 14, as
well ns future gatherings, should be
scientific associations for the solution
of specific problems.
"The earlier congresses, ' ' he writes,
"were largely modes of agitation and
propaganda. Past congresses have serv
ed a useful purpose, in discussing wide
ranges of subjects, but sufficient prog
ress has been made so that the future
congresses may bo more scientific and
less popular.
"Among these specific problems de
manding immediate attention I think
that an irrigation law should occupy a
prominent place. The relation of ri
parian rights to priority rights is now
and will bo one of the most troublesome
questions that the people have to settle.
"It was unfortunate that the gov
ernment at its foundation did nut under
stand something about the future cul
tivation of arid lauds and put the land
and water together, making them one
and inseparable, and then to divide the
land into irrigation-districts determined
by drainage basins, and Hums insure
each acre within a given drainage basin
its proportionate amount of water. This !
would have saved millions of dollars'!
worth of property and millions of del- ,
lars of expense in legislation.
"As it is, 1 believe we are slowly
trending toward this result, and either
yeo-opcrative state laws or federal laws
sW eventually regulate the water sup
ply, not by the riparian rights nor by
the priority right, but by the equitable
distribution of water in the irrigated
districts.
"Another very important problem is
the water power of the streams in the
arid region. Great companies art1 reach
ing everywhere to monopolize this wa
ter power and put a perpetual tax for
its use on future generations, If there
is a natural resource that ought to be
long to the people at large, it is the
water in streams and lakes.
"For domestic use. for irrigation, for
transportation and for power, the states
in the west ought to see to it at onee
that laws are passed to give the state
absolute and perpetual control and own
ership of the water power of our
streams. For, while we are now looking
to water for irrigation, in another ten
years we will be looking with as much
eagerness to water for mechanical pow
er. "I am not a socialist, but I am posi
tive that the future prosperity of com
munities and estates of this great na
tion depends upon tha use of land, wa
ter, forests mines and other national
resources, and these must be conserved
for the general good rather than squan
dered through private selfishness.
' ' There is another question that it
appeared to me was needed for the ben
efit of the farmer himself, namely,
i 'How to irrigate.' T believe the con
' gress ought to be more of an agency
for the propaganda of practical instruc
tion concerning the tilling of the soil
under irrigation ; this on account of
the large number of immigrants and
settlers coming from the east to setlle
in irrigated districts who know nothing
about farming in arid regions under ir
rigation. "If there could be prepared a series
of short papers, dealing with different
subjects, such as preparation of the
hind, amount of water needed, how tn
be applied, method of cultivation or
tillage and other matters, and if. sub
sequently, these could be printed in
small leaflets a ad spread throughout
the irrigated districts, they would be
a vast deal more service than the an
nual report."
