Assess the Idle Lands

The governors River Valley Water Users Association in submitting four propositions members of the associa- tion. O July s, includes a proposed amendment the articles of the association, au thorizing the assessment of idle lands under the Salt project, which water is available, for the maintenance and operation of the system.
 Such an assessment recommended by The Republican last fall when on it's change of man agement, it announced it's policy with respect to irrigation and we pleased to believe that this recomn before the voters will be overwhelmingly adopted The justice of it is so elementary that it fail of recognition.
 In the beginning. before burden well the advantages of the water users was so clearly understood it seemed be fair that only those who received water should be charged with the of distributing it.
 We have since come to a clearer view of the matter who making of the water are also making the valley. making the idle lands valuable and those idle lands act as brake upon the more rapid development of the val lev There can be doubt that they should be made to assume part of the burden of those actual home makers whose efforts they are the beneficiaries.
 There are lands under the project whose own CTS cultivate them but the water for them is yet available. They should be re- Iieved of assessment the amendment proposes they shall De until such a time water can be delivered to them.
 We do not see how anyone can fail to per ceive the justice of this proposed arrangement and we believe that when it goes into effect it will not only relieve the home makers of part of the burden which they bearing but will result in the bringing q part at least of the 3oooo acres of idle land for which is now available, into cultivation.
