The basic principle of the Law U
that no man can hold more watet
than he can u«e. Ail idle waters In
the »tale are appropriated by the
«late and application for future wa
ter rights must be made by the far

Irrigation lM*tri«-t*.
The Mate is to be divided into wa
ter commijmioner» districts, with the
terms of commiaMoners varying from
two to Mx years, in order to keep vid
members on the board continually.
A water master is to be appointed
to have immediate charge of the dis
tribution of water In each district,
xnd the commissioners from ail the
districts and the stale engineer com
prise the state Irrigation commission,
to which ail matters conctn»ln< irri
gation are to be referred.
Mra«Mirrmrnt of Water.
Under the proposed law the dut)
of water for Irrigation shall not b»-
more than one cubic foot of water
per second for each 70 acres, and the
standard measurement fur volume of
water shall be the acre-foot, being the
amount of water neceaeary to cover
one acre to a depth of one foot, or
41.SC0 cubic feet.
Vaster Belong«* to land.
The most vital and valuable section
in the proposed law is that one mak
ing all water rights appurtenant to
the land upon which it is used, thus
abolishing forever speculation in wa
ter.
The law covers every imaginable
phase of irrigation and so systemat
ises the subject that there is no waste
water as at present. No man can se
cure title to more water than his land
requires and every stream is thus
made to cover the widest possible
area.
Old water rights must go through
the courts, and be fixed by decrees
where the law cannot cover the case.
