Much baMi'Iess and worlhlcKH advice has been given to the effect that the non-Htibscribers can get water at their pleasure on the same terms aH preHont stockholders of ihe Ahsociation, on the theory that the owners of tho system are common carriers and legally bound to deliver water to all applicanf* at the same cont. A»nb- tiom the manifent hopelessness ol invoking tho common-carrier rule as against the United States, it should be patent t‘> anyone win» stutlies the National Irrigation Act thut ti e lleclumation Service is not empowered to «ell water from time to time. It can H'll only a wu,‘‘r right payable in ten annual iiiHtallinents, and under authority of the law the Secretary of the Interior lias made regulations pro viding that the water rights will be Hold only to members of tho Association, which body guarantees the payments. The Government will control (he s.VHtem for b'ast a number of years. When, it at nil. the management pnnncs ent,rely into the hands of the Association, that corfiorntion may, if it has 4 surplus in its ditches, which ¡ft not at all pt» bable, sell " »*•« r from heat-on to Manon to noil-stock holders. It will, of course, fix its own charges, which would presumably be not lens than f X-oO per acre each year ami probably nearer $4.00. The Association does not sell water to its stockholders, they having a fiermsnent water right. A th«' unsubscribed area will be very small, the revenues will hardly justify the Association in selling water for irrigation, and the safest prediction is that such lamls will be forever dry. A few h ive evolved the theory that favorably situate<l lands will lie sub-irrigated, and can receive tho benefits without paying the cost. Such theorists, of courHc, know nothing of irrigation or its cHectH. The owners of such lands cannot tap the Government drains, and will have uo other means of drainage. Sub irrigation w ill caiiM- the suits to rise, killing vegetation. No practical irrigator would, in sensible moments, attempt this methixl of getting something for nothing.
