that let US suppose that John Doe.
representative of the prior rights
class, owns valid perpetual water
rigsht-valid, we mean, as between
him and the Ridenbaugh company.
1t can be explained to Mr.. Doe that
it is proposed to organize district;
that the peaceable and successful
operation of the district will require
the extinguishment of that element
of his water right which is desig-
mated as priority; that it is not
proposed to take his priority with
out reasonable compensation, and
that it is desirable to agree upon a
price. 1t may also be explained
that unless he is reasonable about
it, the price will have to be fixed
by the courts. Now, whether John
Doe is or is not agreeable to this
plan, is not the point. He knows
how to intelligently express himself
at the polls. He knows his present
status and he knows, in one impor-
tant particular, how that status will
be effected by the organization of a
District. The foregoing suggestion
is made on the theory that carrying
priority rights into district organi-
zation is bad, and we are absolutely
convinced that it is bad. But the
people under the Ridenbaugh may
hold different views, and they prob
ably know more about it than we do.
But whether priorities be carried
into the district or not, it is equally
important to define, before organi-
zation, a policy with respect to their
treatment. 1t should be understood
that a perpetual right" is an obi,
CATION on the canal in which it
exists-it is load to be carried by
the owner of the canal whether it
be an individual, a private corpora
ton or an irrigation district. How
many hundreds of thousands of dol
lars do the people under the Riden-
want to pay for the privilege of
carrying that load, which is already
all that the canal can bear?
If pointing these things out, with
a view to protect people from error
and imposition is wrong and pre-
ventive of district organization, we,
of course, are blameable. But we
have been an innocent offender. II
was in our heart to do a good thing
by helping in the solution of ditl'
cult problem. However, if there is
no sense in all we have said, we
have advertised ourself a fool and
nobody will be influenced one way
or another.
In conclusion, we think we could
still present argument that would
convince the people under the Rid
enbaugh that their material saliva
ton depends on organizing an irri
cation district as soon as possible
