WORKINGS OF THE LAW.
How the Government will Conduct
Irrigation Project

A Washington correspondent
calls attention to the fact that
many of the people of the country
have only vague ideas as to the
practical workings of the reclama-
ton law. With not few the be-
lief seems to be that the govern
ment is engaged upon purely
philanthropic work of constructing
large and costly irrigation systems,
and after completion generously
donates these works to the farm
ers. While Uncle Sam is GER
tainly evincing an exceedingly fa-
therly interest in his children who
dwell in the arid West and those
who may seek to obtain homes on
the now arid public domain, his
generosity does not extend to a
point purely philanthropic or
gratuitous.
The manner in which the return

of any fund expended on irri-
CATION is safeguarded will strike
most every one as being similar to
the methods observed by practical
business institutions which make
practice of earning money. In
response to the question, chow
does the government insure the
return of the money invested by
it in irrigation works?" Chief En-
gineer Newell, of the United
States Reclamation Service said:
when the investigation of an
irrigation project is developed to
such an extent that there is little
doubt of its feasibility, it becomes
necessary to provide for an associa-
ton of water users. This is es-
sential because it would be other
wise impossible to work out salts
factory the various matters in
which the interests of the govern
ment and of the individuals are
involved.
'One of the important matters
to be adjusted by these water
users associations is the protection

reclamation fund the cost of the
construction of the works. There
can be no assurance of the return
of such moneys unless security of
some kind is provided. This inter
est of the government is protected
through the water users associ-
alton by a provision in its articles
which make all assessments on
water rights, including the charges
by the government, lien on the
land of the shareholder.
Furthermore, the water users
association, as such, makes a con-
tract with the Secretary of the
Interior, in which it guarantees
the payment of the charges
assessed against the lands of its
shareholders. This agreement,
before being executed on the part
of the corporation, is voted upon
by the shareholders, and a two
thirds vote is necessary to ratify it.
"The shareholder and the water
users association, through their
articles of incorporation, make a
contract by which the land of the
shareholder is pledged for the
payment of necessary charges,
and in addition to this the associa-
ton guarantees to the government
that it will pay these charges and
exercise the lien authorized by its
articles in order to secure such
payment. The matter is in this
way left in the hands of the people
themselves, and in case a share
holder should, through sickness or
other unavoidable misfortune, be
unable for year or two to pay
his assessments, the association
can advance the money to carry |
him over his period or misfortune.
In cases where the delinquent is
not deserving of such considera-
ton, his own neighbors, knowing
the exact situation, will be in a |
situation to enforce the conditions
of the articles of the association
and sell such part of his land as
may be necessary to cover the
charges for the water right.
These charges are lien on the
land only to the extent of par
ticular assessment from year TO
year and in case of delinquency |
the entire charge for water right |
does not become due and charge
able against the land, as in the
case of an ordinary mortgage, |
when default is made on a part |
payment. This is not necessary
under the conditions of a recla-
nation project, because the land
itself is of so great value that
there is no difficulty in obtaining
settlers to take up the land which
an individual is compelled to re-
linquish.
"The whole theory of the water
users association is to provide for
self-government among those who
use the water and pay for the
irrigation system. The law pro-
vides that they shall ultimately |
manage and maintain the system
at their own expense, and the
policy OF the reclamation service
is to put into their hands an in
creasingly greater share of the
Management, in order to gradually |
educate them up to the point of
controlling, in proper manner, an
enterprise of such great magnitude.
The law provides that the owner
ship of the system and a supervi-
sorry control shall always be main
tanned by the United States, in
this manner affording ample as
