would be a dead letter. With no
provision for the proper division of

ators along a stream, confusion, 1
sheriff? Anil even should he take
the time it woritd mean that his
crops would suffer for water for sev
eral days. Under this plan the
sheriff would be called upon to
properly set the gate of the offend
ing approprintor. There isn't one
sheriff in a thousand who knows
the first principles about measuring
water, and he would be all at sea
when he came to setting a head-
I gate. He would be forced to secure
not ! the services of an euginecr for every
offense.
Prominent irrigation students be
lieve that eventually the arid West
will be irrigated under the 'rota
tion system," which means that a
neighborhood feuds, litigation and certain number of ranchers or a ccr-
i"
trouble would be endless and your 1 tain locality arc giveu a full
itrigalfoa law would be a farce, j head of water during say five days;
Sheriffs and constables never could then their supply s shut off and an-
attend to this matter as it slioukl other section aiveu the water fo:

gon's irrigation code would be a
muddled iness.
The first step under a compre-
iforuia. Colorado, Idaho, Vo:n.tiv
Montana, Nebraska and Nevid.i all
recognize ibis need and their w.itcr
codes wovidc, in a greater or lea

Oregon will do a very foolish thing,
indeed, if it fails to follow the path
that experience has taught thec
states is wise.

utterance to an important truth
when he said recently: "The par
amount issue in this campaign is
not the tariff, or guarantee of Uiuk
deposits, or war, or jwarc, or diplo
macy, but the preservation and jer
petuation of thoe ideals of private
honesty and public integrity which
have made the administration of
Roosevelt famous " That is the
true issue before the American na

quire a patrol of the river and as
examination of all headgales from

would have to be made by some
competent engineer whom the farm

cally the entire state will be in need
of this police service. It will be a
tale-wide need.
