Washington, Dec. 2S.-Under the laws
of water rights as established by legisla-
ton and court DEGREES in the arid states
of the West. the final test of a right to
water for irrigation is that the water
claimed shall be put to a beneficial use.
As expressed by the laws of Several
stats, beneficial use is the basis. the
measure, and the limit of rights to wa
ter. These laws, however, do not at
tempt to define beneficial use
At a conference Of the project manager
of the L. s. Reclamation service and rep
resentatives of the Department of Aeri-
culture. held at Salt Lake. November T.
Is, a resolution attempting such IA defini-
ton was adopted. This definition is
somewhat long and detailed. but in sub
sance is as follows:
A water user is entitled to that
"amOunt of water that will render him a
reasonable maximum AMOUNT of good
with a reasonable economic handling Of
the water" He is entitled to the protec-
ton of the state in this right but. in re-
turn the state has a right to demand that
he use reasonable care and Judgment IN
conveying and using water and cultivat-
ing MS crops.
The conference adopted also a definition
of economical use" which was in sub
stance as follows:
Since the water supply available for
irrigation in the western states is adc-
quate for only a relatively small prr-
centagc of the entire irrigablc acreage
the fundamental standard of economical
use must be the financial results accom-
plished per acre foot of water applied.
rather than the yield per acre irrigated.
In future development the doctrine of zen
eficial use must ~ MANY cases merge into
or be supplanted by that Of economic use.
The doctrine of beneficial use looks to
individual interest that Of economic use
to the general welfare of society as a
whole. So far as possible. water charges
systems of distribution. and regulations
should be so adirSted as to make the
interest of the individual water user co
incide with this public interest.

Senator Bryan's Proposed
Primary Election Law.

Senator Nathan p Bryan who announced some
time ago that he would prepare primary election law
bill for the consideration of the legislature has
finished the work copy of the bill has reached The
Journal 1t provides:
l. That the state shall pay all of the expenses of
the election machinery-such as the printing of ballots
the hiring of inspectors just done in the
of general election.
O. That the state shall place in the hands of each
voter limited campaign statement at only small
pense the candidate, just is done in the state
of Oregon.
g. That the second primary shall be eliminated by
the use ola first and secondchoice ballot the candidate
receiving the largest number of whole votes being de-
cared the nominee These whole to be deter
mined by adding the secondchoice votes to the first
choice votes, each second-choce count half
vote.
4 That voters must register so to show their
political party afhation and no member of party
in any primary held by another party.
s. That all party nominations must be made by
primary election the of political parties that cast
many five per cent of the total vote cast at the next
preceding general election.
Senator Bryan's bill embodies provisions that The
Journal has long advocated and this paper consequently
approves it. There may be details of the bill which will
require elimination alteration, but its purpose
whole is line with present-day progressive reform and
that purpose ought to be effectuated in law.
There is no provision in the bill governing or limit
ing campaign expenditures providing for the public
ity of Senator Bryan says that he believes these
should be dealt with in separate bill which may
under the head of Corrupt Practices Act This also is
a good SUGGESTION evs' @''ss'
The Journal trusts that Senator Bryans bill will
have the careful consideration of every member of the
legislature and that it. bill of similar purpose
may be enacted into law.

The City Manager
Plan of Government.

Out of the commission form OF gov
eminent has been evolved the city man
ager. At least one city in the United
States, Sumter, S. c., is now trying
this plan of running the municipality.
Two years ago the town of Lockport,
\. y, asked the legislature OF that
state to grant charter that would
permit it to elect FIVE commissioners
at merely nominal salaries to govern
the city through a business manager.
Ii failed to get the charter but the idea
stuck.
In the year following the legislature
OF South Carolina passed an act to
cradle Sumter to choose between the
typical commission plan and the city
manager plan. Sumptar took the last
named and the Sumpter commissioners
get only nominal pay and spend most
Of their time with their private affairs.
They hire the manager, fix his duties
and his pay.
The Sumter experiment Is young
yet, but it will be watched with in
terest as the time rolls by.

SOMETHING ABOUT COTTON.
BY Elizabeth Jennings.


CThe following composition is the
work OF a little gira OF nine years, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs p. n. Jen-
nings-a pupil of grade 4, section E.
school No. 20, Mrs. Bessie Wilson,
teacher.)
The South is the land of cotton, for
there the soil and climate are best
fitted for its growth. Cotton grows in
all of the southern states. hut Texas
raises the most; still only half of Texas
raises cotton.
field of blooming cotton is a, beau
tiful sight, the blossoms of white and
red are a great attraction To the bees.
The cotton field, when in bloom, is
q very restful scene in the morning or
evening, with birds singing In the
morning and crickets chirping in the
evening.
Cotton picking usually begins in An
gust, and goes on until December or
January.
Negroes labor mostly in the fields,
though most Of the land is owned by
white men. After the cotton is picked
it is taken to a. machine, called a
gin; this machine separates the lint
cotton from the seeds. From the seeds
that are left, fine quality of oil is
pressed, which is very much like olive
oil.
Not one particle of seed is wasted,
even the cake left is used to fatten
cattle on, and as fertilizer. Even a
low grade of cotton cloth is made of
some.
The chief export Of the southern
states is cotton. More than three times
as much is raised than in any other
section. Cotton grows from two to
six feet high, according to soil.

Liberty Wanted
Not Phi1anthrophy.

No better review or criticism eff the
principles OF the Roosevelt progressive
party has been made than is contained
in the installment OF President Wilson's
article on "The New Freedom" I'm the
current Issue Of the Worlds Work. The
president says Mr.. Roosevelt attempted
to effect partnership between the
government and big business. He de-
clares that under such a partnership
the people would depend entirely on
the benevolence of the contracting
parties and that the people want Jus
tices not benevoience.
"Benevolence never developed q man
or a nation" he says. I'VE do not
want a benevolent government: we
want free and Just government
The president severely crfticises the
Roosevelt platform for legalfzing the
trusts and says you cannot use mo-
nopolies to serve free people.
President Wilson says he protests be-
Ing put in the hands of trustees He
does not want to live under a philan-
throphy.
The president defies the power of the
trusts. but says for the past 16 years
this government has been partially
regulated by the trusts.
