Private Capital Cannot Utilize All
the Water in Any State.
SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM.
The Government Should Construct Storage
Reservoirs and Thereby Make
Salable the Lands Which
Are Now Arid.

That every western state needs lrri-
cation is conceded. Those sections
which have tried it have simply demon
strated the necessity for the utilization
of the entire water product of the state,
if that state is to reach its full develop
ment. This utilization of the entire
water product Of the state means the
construction of reservoirs. as there is
no river not reservoired, but that some
time during the year wastes large guam
titles OF surplus water. 1t is also gen
orally conceded that private capital
cannot and never will utilize all the
water of any state There then re-
main to be considered the states them
selves and the national government as
the only agencies qualified to creat9 a
comprehensive reservoir system IL the
west. IN the first place this work Is
distinctly interstate III cbaracter and Is
therefore less property II state thdn II
national enterprise. In 40 states are alt
the streams contiued to the limits of
those states. W Wyoming, for example,
is The fountain head Of streams flowing
in all directions. whose waters pass
through or border upon no less than
twenty other states or territories. This
is true to a less degree in Colorado. No
reservoir can be built i'll either OF these
states which will not influence the flow
! of water IN Otner states.
Another strong reason why the gen
eral government should construct reser
voirS lies in the fact that it wonld be
improving its own; that Is, its reservoir
building would make saleable its now
arid land. The states, on the other
hand, should they build reservoirs
would be improving government lane
and would reap no direct pecnnary
benefit from the sale by the governmen
of these lands thus made valuable.
