RECOMMENDATION

INiISCA l w wv
| desire 10 take this opportunity to
recommend the enactment Of mi o m
water laws by the states in which =
rigatiOn is an established p act &c. II
is a well known fact that S me Of he
western states are operating un'e7
watre codes that were IN use in the
early DAYS when conditions were en-
tireIy different from those IRE aili1g
at the present tire. TIE cort Ol an ,
the scientific app'icat on Of water t
land are better understood tan in
pioneer DAYS, and me hods IF an" o
priation should conform to mo er9
practice. The expe ien-e gal ed dur
ing long years of irrig"t'o0 wo V
should be utilized in framing cur wa
ter laws.
The value Of a central state auth r
'ty for administering wo+er I've
should be RECOGNIZED and the t"ch0ic7l
knowledge and skill of tie tie e -
@ircer should be called up~n TO d
eide questions relating to the use AM
duty of water.
An important feature OF a st1te
water code would ccmpri~e tie rro 0pt
adjudication Of all w9ter RI hts A ter
the acquisition of sufficient data bv
the state engineer through ylro.
graphic surveys of a s're@m the W ter
rights on that stream sh~u'd be
promptly adiudicated by tn p ore
authority. In this wav the rig Z to
use water for beneficial pur1 SIS
would soon become as well defined as
land titles. 1t is belle ed that W eth
err adjudication be made nv a ecu t o
a commission thev shorl1 be ba ed
uDon determinations made " the
state engineer. By su"h poe u Q It
is practicable to secure inst aid e u t
able adjudication of water rights with
in a comparatively short period.
In conclusion | would rcsre fully
call the attention Of our 'epielators
to the necessity for IKE al parp"o-
D~riations for carrying on TIE work OF
the state engineers departments As
a rule these Offices arc mo- a t e'v
concerned in politics, being e~ga~ ed,
to the exclusion nf e~e ythi1T else
in technical. scientific ard practi al
matters. They are ALWAYS ru7v and
their work makes for the mater'al
well being and prosperity of t.eir
state.
1t is useless to expert great re-
suits when inadequate means are pro
'ded for carrying on the worF of the
state engineers Office and when an
preparations for its mainte" aNe
so small as to prevent full and efficient
work.
The state engineers Office IL an
established Institution and as r
western states grow and prosper the
work OF this Office will keep pace with
