not 4 SPECULATION COMMODITY

The time has gone 10y in the West
for irrigation water to be used rs n
commodity for speculation. In the
early days the title to water supply
or the prospect OF getting it was used
ms n means to enhance values and in
many cases to sell land to strangers
themselves eager to invest; but now
water is needed to legitimately irri-
gate land so that 1t will yield its pro-
ducts which must be sold in the face
1T constantly increasing competition.
Water, therefore, should be no long
er used rs n speculative medium. 1t
should be made available to the con-
sumer mt the actual cost OF the con-
struction and operation OF necessary
distribution works, and without cost
for reservoir storage. 1t has been
generally demonstrated, during the
past ten years, that there is but little
profit i'll private storage enterprises,
for, while the advantage to the COM
munity Is great, the owners OF the
plant 40 not reap the full benefit.
The practicable and fair method and
the only one which will be absolutely
successful is the building OF reser-
voirs by either the General or State
Governments. with tho free use Of the
waters stored to the land owners
The proposition is exactly similar to
that in which the public has the free
use OF aud benefit from the improve

Fastening on to climb into the band

Nothing i'll New York politics has

Mr.. Bryan is exceedingly anxious for

There is no installing Bryan's power
