-THOMPSON ON IRRIGATION.
The one dissenter from the general
agreement that the state irrigation
district laws need revision is V. Lair
Thompson, ot Lakeview, former state
senator from this district, and de
feated for re-election in November
by one vote. According to the Jour
nal, Mr. Thompson wired the irriga
tion congress and besought It "to
recommend no changes whatever in
the existing irrigation district' laws,
pointing out that they are the best
, in the country, and that, under them,
development and settlement of the
country are encouraged. He assert
ed that proposed changes could be
nothing but impairments of the pres
ent law and work to the advantage
of the absentee landlord Instead of
the settler." .
Mr. Thompson must be given cred
it for taking the unpopular side of
the question. He did the same thing
with the lakes lease bill two years
ago, and his reported opposition to
irrigation measures is understood to
have contributed in large measure to
his retirement to private life. It was
the unpopular stand. But when one
opposes a measure which has such
unanimous support, and support of
such character as haa tho district law
amendment, there Is good ground tor
inquiry as to whether he is a truo
friend to Irrigation and the irrigation
country.
Mr. Thompson might assert that
ho was a true friend who was brave
enough to stand for what he believed
right, in the face ot a misjudged pop
ular sentiment. But an Inquiry Into
the facts on which he based his po
sitlou would Indicate otherwise for,
contrary to Mr. Thompson a Btate
mont, the present Irrigation district
laws have absolutely not encouraged
the settlement and development of
the country.
A year ago tho district, law -was
hailed as the solution ot the irrigu
Hon probloms of the state and much
of the time of the lust irrigation uon-
Bress was devoted to a discussion, of
the law. There followed the forma
tion ot several districts, notably In
this section, the Ochoco project, the
North Unit project and the Sultles
Lake project. But there. In most
cases, the development ended be
cause the law was found unsatisfac
tory and unworkable.
One of the tasks facing the coming
legislature Is the amendment of that
law, and we hope and believe the
work will be well done.
