AIJOUT NEWMKRiaATION LAW
An Article Written by Stnte Hnglnecr
LcwIh on This Important Matter.
State Knginecr J. II. Lewis is do
ing much good work to educate the
people in the requirements and to
the need of a new irrigation law for
Oregon, with the hope that n prac
tical measure will be passed by the
next legislature. He recently pre
pared an article for publication that
touches on irrigation conditions in
the Willamette valley, but the prin
ciples that he proposes for a new
law arc, of course, applicable to the
whole state. The article is as fol
lows. The recent discussion heforc the- eViiu
mcrcial hodicsof Portland on the devel
opment of Oregon' irrigation und water
iHiuer resource, and eiccially the ap
plication of irrigation to the UllUmcttc
valley, which wan unnulmously urged liy
the Portland hoard of trnile. Jim raiseil
the question of legislation for its cu
cimr.iKcuicut. The law propOMHl by tho
governor's commission, which failed to
lie jKucd by the last legislature, hat been
strongly urged as a lwsis,"for difctimloit,
an in line with the ofcvof the govern
ment and in harmony -with the federal
lawn. The commission was assisted in
it preparation by Morris Ilieu, the lceal
adviser of, the reclamation scrwee, who
is con dcrcd a Icaliii authority 011 irri
gation law. It ii founded upon the ex
perience of other itatcs where the funda
mental principles have !ccii tried nnd
found siirccsstnl. .Substantially the tame
law was'rcfc,ntly jwsscd by North Dako
ta, South p.ikota ami Oklahoma, and,
with the addition of a few details, was
adopted liy Vuh. Thin law in chiefly ad
ministrative. A systematic method af
establishing and recording vented rights
in accordance with the established laws
and decisions of the courts whs provided,
also for the nc)Uiriug and recording of
new rights, uithjjie necessary proof of
completion of worts and determination
by a iualiflcd officer of the amount of
wnterputto bcncfU,ial use. Titles to
water would then be ns definite as title
to land and an-abstruct of the water rec
ords, shoning definite title, made pos
sible. .
A plaiji sinUtuKmt of existing condi
tions of sjate legislation 1 found in a
mcssAKeof l'ixileiit Roosevelt of Dcceiu
lier, ll, thcre liccays:
"Tbc securitynnd values of the homes
created dqwinl largely on the fctability
of titles to water, but the majority of
thcM.' rest on the uncertain fouud(tioli of
coitrV decisions 'rendered- in ordinary
suits at law. With n few creditable ex
ceptions, the arid states have fnilcd toj
provide for the certain and just division I
01 streams in tunes 01 scarcity, iax ai
uncertain laws have made it powible to
estuhlikh rights to water in cxcom of nc
tual Use or tieccMitief, nnd many stream!)
have 'already passed into private owner
ship, or control equivalent to ownership.
"Whoever controls a stream practical
ly controls the- land it renders produc
tive,' and the doctrine of private owner
ship uf watev apart from luud cannot pre
xaii'withotit causing enduring wrong.
The recognition of such ownership which
hns l)cen permitted to gtow up' In the
arid rcgitlus, should give wny to H' more
ciiltglrtcucd and larger TecO;uition of the
rights of the'piiblic in the control und
duAml of the public water supplies.
I.nws fonuded tqiou conditions obtaining
in humid regions, where water Is too
abundant to justify hoarding it, have 110
proper application in a dry country,
"In the arid state the only right to
water which should le recognlcd is that
of use. )u irrigation this right should
attach to the laud reclaimed and le in
separable therefrom. Grunting pcrct
nail water rights to others than users,
without coiupeufiAtiou to the public, Is
open to nil the objections which apply to
gi lug awny perpetual franchises to the
public.utilities 01 cities. A few of the
Western Wp hav.e already recognized

Ilefore nn iudhiilttnl, corjwraiiou,
state or goveruiiH-ntcau with any dogrcc
of certainty cuter into the construction
of works involving the use of waters, two
things must be known. I'irst, the
amount of flow at different seasons nt
the proposed point of diversion, and, sec
ond, the amount of water which is uc4
ciary to satisfy the vested rights below
thn proposed point of diversion. The
state, in co-operation with the govern
ment, has undertaken to secure record
as to stream discharge, which to be (if
much value must extend over a period of
two to five years. At present it Is impos
aililc to determine what amount of wat
er is nece-uciry to Mtisfy vested rights,
which information is necessary, to know
if any surplus water exists in a stream to
be put to licneficial use.
Capital seeking investment In this line
is. therefore discouraged, and the value
of legitimate rights very much lessened
because of this uncertainty. Hveti where
a court decree has been rendered, it niny
be upset at a later date unless all who
claim the right to the use of waters were
made parties to the suit, including lite
state, as trustee of the surplus waters, if
any. for future users. ,
All present vested rights will ultimate
ly come Ulorc tlie courts as water In
comes more valuable as a matter of self
preservation. As already experienced ot
certain Oregon streams, considerable
areas have been in the courts having
their rights adjudicated for the second
or third time, und perhaps again in the
future a new- ditches are built. If a new
liir will provide a systematic method of
ddtcrinluing thce rights, also .the re!-'
cording and protection forever on iticj
pnrt ai tlie state, it u ueucvet tlie in
creased value would justify the cscnC.
The certainty of a new right, if permit
ted, would greatly cncoura'gc new devel
opment up to the limit of the toieficl.-jl
use to winch each stream could be, put.
With lle water rights of the Western
states uniform, the troublesome questioh
of interstate rights would be eliminated.
Ah the future of a larger part of tlm
state will depend largely on irrigation,
which in turn Is dependent upon law's
providing a careful administration over
the waters to eliiiiiuinate the uncertain,
ties of supply and cxpcnsUclltigatiun, it
is believed that this subject will receive
careful consideration by the next legisla
tive assembly,
