FIGURING ON PEACE REVOLUTIONISES CORRES POND WITH GOVERNMENT That is the Beauty of the New gation Law. One grand feature of the great Irri gation system, inaugurated uy Presi dent Roosevelt's administration, is tho fact that there will never be any "priority of right" to anyone. No person will ever be able to claim a prescriptive right for water (nr bis farm or flume, because his father or grandfather had such right. No prescription runs against tneunu ed States government. Every farm in the arid regions will get its water on equal terms with every otner farm. Only this and nothing more. There will be no preferences nor fa vorites. Thn water, too. will be made cllep- or gradually as the patronage Increas es with the development of tho coun try. It will ultimately uo oniy me tnnl rnnt nf nneration. JllSt what plan will be adopted by the Interior department in charging lor aisinou- tion of the water after it shall have npnii Rtnred has not yet transpired.
