TIM Caldwell Tribune outlines the
following plan for the solution Of the
Irrigation problem. We take pleasure
In reproducing II because this subiet

needs agitation and discussion: First.
the boz I'd Of county commissioners in
each arid county shall constitute an
Irrigation comm, ion. Second. on
the FIRST day Of April Of each year the,
shall divide their respective counties
into irrigation districts. Third. they
shall then agree with the canal com.

rrict. upon a rate at which the com
ranv will deliver water to the whole of
that district. At a general supply point:
the resi- onsibiliiy and management of
tine COMPANY 10 cease when the amount
OF water agreed upon is turned into
aud kept flowing In the headgale own
ed and controlled by the district The
idea Is that the canal company shall
supply water to the district on whole
sale basis and the retail distribution
shall be left 10 the district itself. The
business Of the canal company will
fheu BE- wholly with the board ~ county
commissioners. acting as an irrigation
commission. who shall be given fun
po~ss la compel tn canal company to
niliil ts contracts. Fourth, after estab-
fishing a rate with the canal company.
the commissioners shah assess TO each
user Of water his prOportionate share Of
the total water cost aud collect the same
as state or county taxes for the benefit q
the canal COMPANY. The actual collect

might act in the double capacity Of col.

commissioners aud canal company can
not agree on water rate. then IL shall
