HOME RULE IN IRRIGATION
Secretary MAXWELL says IrrtgHtOrN Of
west Should Work lnde-
peBdently.

The meeting OF the executive committee
OF the Commercial club at noon yesterday
sounded an echo of the irrigation congress
held at Colorado Springs last week. George
H. Maxwell, the executive chairman Of the
National Irrigation association, was present
and delivered an address. In which he pre-
scented the reasons for continuing the ex-
istence Of the association. The address
touched upon many phases Of the work Of
IRRIGATION.
THE educational propaganda which the
National Irrigation association has been
carrying on for the last three years and
which has changed the public sentiment Of
the east from opposition to a generally
favorable sentiment must be enlarged ten
fold and carried into the west as well as
into the east" said Mr.. Maxwell. Home
rule in irrigation should be the slogan Of
the irrigators OF the west from this time on.
The individual irrigntor should manage his
own ditch on his own farm. Each canal
system. large or small, should manage its
own affairs. Where more than one canal
system takes water from q single stream
they should all be organized together into
one association TO manage their mutual
interests and divide the water among them
selves. II public officers are necessary, each
drainage basin should be organized sepa-
rately into an administrative district. hBv-
ing power 20 elect its own water commits
sioners and ditch tenders. No such ofhcers
should be appointed and put over any irri-
gated community by any governor or any
state board OF any kind, and no such ad-
ministrHtive district should be organized
unless it is done voluntarily by the irri-
gators themselves upon their own initiative
and vote"
