STATE WATER LAWS CHAOTIC
SAYS EX-GOVERNOR PARDEE


water laws are in a chaotic condition
and only the adoption of the proposed
water commission law now pending on
referendum will eliminate the hope
less confusion and litigation"
This was the assertion of George
c. Pardee, former governor of Cali
] fornia, in an address before the City
club today in the Union league club
rooms.
The former governor made a Spe-
cial trip from Oakland to advocate
the new water commission law, which
is a progressive measure designed to
settle for all time the controversy
over disputed water rights.
He appealed to the members of the
club to work and vote for the law, as
many costly water cases affecting
Southern California are now pending.
Former Governor Pardee said that
CALIFORNIA; existing water laws are
chaotic, wasteful and expensive is
proven first by the fact that there is
class of California lawyers known
as "water law specialists" Second, by
the fact that enormously expensive
suits over water rights have been.
still are and will be, common in this
state under existing conditions. Third
that everybody who has water right
must be prepared at all times with
shotgun, or lawyer, or both, to de-
fend. Fourth, that because our pres
ent water laws are mostly court made
and court decisions have been and
are being modified and changed, no
man can tell, except at the end Of an
expensive lawsuit, what the Califor-
MIA water laws are. Even when once
adjudicated, every water right may
be the subject of lawsuits as often as
nybody wants to sue the possessor
Of it.
Ellwood Mead, the world famous
water expert, speaking of California
conditions, says:
There can be no stability under
he present situation. The law has
70 means of enforcing a right when
once adjudicated except through an
other lawsuit Litigation and contro.
versy are forced by the law. The
whole system is wrong in principle:
IS we'll as in procedure"
Under the present system suit to
settle water rights settles only the in
.errelated rights of the parties to the
suit. If A sues B and gets a decree
for 1000 inches of water, that degree
S good only until C gets a judgment
for that water.
1t is said that water rights in
Southern California are all deter
mined ard settled and that there
fore there is no need for a change
n the California water laws. Every
water user in Southern California is
being subject to the California water
laws in a state of armed neutrality
every other water user, so
that his own "already settled" water
rights may not be taken from him
and there are now on the dockets
Of the Southern California courts
many expensive, heart breaking law
suits to "settle" the already settled
water rights of Southern California.
Protected by the Investigations of
a California water commission and
by an inexpensive, wholesale decision
of the courts, as proposed by the ref
erendum water commission law, the
water users of Southern California
could, as the water users of Oregon
and Wyoming can, sleep nights and
wouldn't have anywhere near the use
for lawyers services they now have.
have had and will have under present
conditions.

This Increase in value, however
the departments statement pointed
out, "does not necessarily mean that
farmer or stock raiser is making
more, if any, profit. On the con-
trary, the cost of production probably
has increased more rapidly than the
increase in the selling price of live
stock Producers of farm products
are the last to receive any benefit
from higher prices paid by consum-
ers, yet they are among the first to
increase production if there is a pros
pect of realizing better returns.
"The fact that there is present
shortage of nearly 100000 meat
animals in the United States since
the census of 1910 indicates clearly
that the business is not profitable to
producers.
The scarcity of meat animals is at
tributed by department experts to the
encroachment of farms upon range
territory, lack of proper range
leasing law, shortage in the corn and
foliage crop in Kansas, Nebraska and
Oklahoma, increased value of land
and higher cost Of labor and stock
feed, decline in stock raising on farms
in the East and South because Of
poor marketing facilities, the tempta-
ton to sell livestock at prevailing
prices and enormous losses from hog
cholera.

When you advertise your wants in a newspaper you
talk to one crowd.
If that newspaper is the Imperial Valley Press you
talk to the one big crowd that has people than
all the other crowds put together.
Some people judge the value of an advertisement by
the one copy they see, but the careful business
judges it's value by the thousands of others seeing it.
The Imperial Valley Press enters more homes in the
Imperial valley than all other Imperial valley papers
combined. That is why careful business men and
those having wants to make known seek its columns.

necessary to say that one who
