We have heard good deal about irri-
gstion propositions for the aria lands o
the West, and an authoritative report on
that subject may well be deemed mat
Ger Of quite general interest.
Such report is furnished by an officer
OF she army detailed, under act OF Con-
grsss, to make an investigation of the
question. 1t appears that Congress is
likely to be asked to provide reservoirs
in certain sections where the prospect is
believed to be favorable though. doubt
'sss, there will continue to be offered,
more or less invitingly, investments in
Irrigation stock companies to perform
this work and rsap dividends from the
product OF the land thus watsred and
made fertile.
As to this the report Of the govern
ment expert declares In general terms
that the job is altogether too big one
for private corporations to undertake ss
. grand plan with any hope of success.
Indeed, the report distinctly fsvors ma
tional legislation and appropriation.
Undoubtedly, ss the governments inves-
tigator says, reservoir construction In
the arid regions of the West is an indis-
pensable conoition tn the highest dsvel-
opment of the section. 1t can bs carried
out only through public agencies. Pri-
vste enterprises can never accomplish the
work successfully. As between state and
nation. Is falls more properly under the
domain Of the latter. Reservoir construc-
tion ny the general government need not

In the hands OF the states and OF private
individuals under state laws. The gov
ernment should acquire full title ard
Jurisdiction to any site which il mii 1t

essary to fill the reservoir. 1t should hold

1t is not at all unlikely that this prob

In national politics to win the Western
states The demand for government irri-
cation works will be backed by the sena-
tors and congressman from almost eyerv

river as the only possible solution of the
irrigation problem. In the meantime.
however, private enterprise is not laRginp. |
and the work OF reservoir construction is
going on all over the arid region. In
