State Engineer Green is performing
some judicial functions in the distribu-
tion of water for domestic use. He
insists that the phrase domestic use in
house. Our legislature has not defined
the term. There is a broad distinction
between water for household purposes.
1t is time that great encouragement
should be given to those who grow
fruit trees. 1t is equally true that fruit
trees unlike most other crops cannot
be replaced in the season succeeding
the one in which they die. 1t takes
years of labor to bring an orchard into
bearing. 1t seems unfair to say that
an orchard that has been successfully
cultivated for Il number of years with
water from Il given source should. in
times of scarcity he ruined. years of la
Dor lost to the owner. benefit to the
whole people taken away. in the in
terests of crop that represents only
one year of labor. Still we insist that
the way of countless evils is opened up
when the State Engineer as u water
commissioner. out of his own views,
without any Interpretation by Court or
Legislature. assumes to decide and al
most legislate upon questions of great
and far reaching Importance. We be-
lieve that Mr.. Green's idea is good
one, but his action may he the fruitful
cause of litigation. The next legisla-
ture in justice to the people OF the
state should give some definition to the
term, Gomestic nse. and some manner
of settling priorities for domestic use
should be provided. Again we say to
the farmers, think upon these things.
Don't get the idea in Il minute but take
days and horse sense for consideration.
