NEGRO RIOTERS WATER DOCTRINE
GOVERNMENT SHOULD ENcouR.
AGE IRRIGATION.
!: SAYS ATTORNEY GENERAL
Mastery Argument Before United
States Supreme court-Doetrine Of
Riparian Rights Would Ruin the
West.


Washington.-In the Kansas-Colo-
RADIO suit Wednesday, the principal ar
gument for the government was made
by Assistant Attorney General Camp
bell OF the Department of Justice. who
has had direct charge OF the govern
ment's side OF the case for the past
year.
MIR. Campbell brought vividly to the
attention OF the court the results OF fr-
rigation in the western states, what II
has done, is doing and will do If not
checked by legislative or judicial ac-
ton. It was estimated, he said. that II
would take 1000 acres of arid land In
its natural condition TO support one
person, while If irrigated forty acres
| Of the same land will support two per
| sons.
The arid land is worth sl.25 an acre,
| while when irrigated II is worth $50 to
| $500 an acre, according to location and
nature OF crops raised. In the quarter
of a century prior to 1908, 1O.OOO.000
acres in the arid region had been
| placed under irrigation at cost oil
| $200, 900, 900. No more arabic land in
| the country is now subject to entry un-
der the general land laws. and the
| country must now look to irrigated
land for any further considerable addi-
| tions to its cultivated orea. 1t is esti-
mated that 50.0OO.00O to 60.000.0OO
acres will be placed under irrigation
sufficient. 1t is estimated, TO support
a population of 50.000,000 to 100000,
| 900 of people.
If the doctrine of riparian rights as
claimed by the state OF Kansas should
| prevail, any owner OF forty acres oi
land along an interstate stream in the
| lower state could absolutely block de
velopment by irrigation of the entire
upper states dependent upon that river
| for irrigation. and could stop every en-
| terprise undertaken by the reclamation
service upon the upper waters OF the
| streams.
| He contended that the national gov
ernment had inherent power to legis
| late for the general good in the alb
sence of a provision OF the federal con
stitution. If such power was not spe
| cifically delegated to the states them
selves by the constitution, and quoted
in support of this a speech made by
| James Wilson, one Of the trainers o
the federal constitution, and several de
| cisions of the Supreme Court sustain
ing this contention.
Justice Peckham asked the speaker
what rule the government would have
the court lay down, to which ne re
| piled that the government In brief DE
/ sired a rule declaring that benencia
use and priority of appropriation OF wa
| ter not limited by state boundary ine'
should prevail in determining the righ
/ to use of waters of streams in irrigated
| regions.

MErcALF's REPORT.
Secretary Describes japanese Trouble
In San Francisco.


washington-In his report to the
President on the Japanese complaints
in San Francisco Secretary Metcalf
says:
'1t seems that for several years the
Board of Education OF San Francisco
had been considering the advisability
of establishing separate schools for
Chinese. Japanese and Korean children
and May 6. 1905. passed a resolution
declaring its purpose to do this.
October 11th the board passed the
following resolution:
Resolved. That in accordance with
Article X, Section 1862, of the school
law of California, principals are
hereby directed to send all Chinese.
Japanese or Korean children to the
Oriental public school situated on the
south side Of Clay street between Pow.
ell and Mason streets. on and after
Monday, October Is. 1906.
The action of the board In tho
passage of the resolution OF May G
1905. and October IL. 1906. was un
doubtedly largely influenced by the
activity Of the Japanese and Korean
Exclusion League. an organization
formed for the purpose OF securing the
enactment by the Congress of the
United States of law extending the
provisions of the existing Chinese ex
clusion act so as to exclude Japanese
and Koreans
"The Oriental school, the school sci
apart for the Chinese, Japanese ant
Korean children. is in the burned sec
tion. There is only one Japanese stu
dent attending this school at the pres

school,

very strongly against Japanese youni
