THE IRRIGATION BILL.

The Field irrigation bill, though
shorn OF most OF it's Objectionable feat
ures in the house and rendered still
further harmless in the council, is yet
regarded with disapproval by those d.
rectly interested in the development Of
the territory by the introduction of for
eign capital.
Admitting that the bill per Sc will be
Intellectual to retard the irrigation in
dustrv, they urge that the measure as
an exponent Of the spirit which
prompted the drafting Of the original
bill is Damocles sword. The hair by
which it lie suspended may not be sew
cred during this nor the next legislature,
but if the spirit which prompts this
sort OF lawmaking is not suppressed it
may at some future time cut the hair.
The council amendment that the
right OF condemnation shall not exist
as to any reservoirs and canals built by
the private capital OF any person, cor
poration or association who shall have
expended $250,000 thereon, however,
relieves considerable apprehension
upon the part Of capitalists who have
or expect to have extensive interests
within the territory.
Upon the effect of the following
house amendment irrigation men are
divided:
Any person or corporation may by the use
of private capital construct reservoirs upon
any lands in this territory not otherwise ap-
pfopriated for the purpose of obtaining water
for any beneficial or useful purpose; shall have
right OF way to conduct such water to the
place or places of consumption and such reser-
voirs and the reservoirs constructed under the
provisions of this act shall be exempt from
taxation for twenty years from and after the
passage OF this act
1t is true the benefits proposed were
not contemplated in the original bill
nor were they asked for by the proposed
bepeiciaries. They are evidently de-
signed to compensate for certain disad-
yantages imposed but it is alleged they
do not fully do so.
The exemption OF the reservoirs is Of
course mark Of territorial generosity,
but such valuation way be placed up
on the taxable canals as we'll dissipate
whatever financial encouragement is
apparently extended to irrigation COM
panies in the proposed amendment.
Could irrigation people be assured that

the advantage indicated would not be
taken, they would willingly accept the
bill thus amended.
While the case, however, is left open
they naturally feel that they are at the
mercy OF assessors and therefore for the
sake of absolute security, it is suggested
that wherever the word reservoir" oc.

Immediately followed by the words

Whether or not such exemptions
from taxation are just and proper is
debatable, but the action of the legisla-
turs in the matter of railroads, indi-
Gates that that body has taken an af-
6rmatiye view and has thereby waived
any charge OF improperly against
irrigation men who may demand a
similar concession and whose demand
is backed by the claim that the pros
perity OF the territory is based first on
the extension of irrigation and after
ward further developed by the intro
duction of railroads.
