COMMISSION
rs CRITICISED
Reports Apparently in
Favor of Carey Act
Settlers.

Judging from the source of
criticism that is directed against
the Idaho Irrigation and Drain
age Commission on account OF
it's findings and recommenda-
tions Of Carey act projects, it
seems that the promotion and
construction companies feel them
selves highly aggrieyed at the
commission. They are doing
some loud 'squealing" through
the columns of Boise's morning
paper.
The commission spent much
time in making Investigations
on Carey act projects, and re-
Gently submitted to the COVER
nor reports dealing with condi-
tIons as were found, and making
recommendations for the solu-
tion OF the difficulties. In many
instances it was found that the
companies had sold water rights
far in excess of the water supply,
and the settlers had paid to
these companies hundred5 OF
thousands of dollars for water
rights that were absolutely
worthless.
To remedy such unwarranted
actions by the companies, the
commission recommended that
mo more water rights be sold
and that the projects be reduced
Ito the acreage for which there
was water. Such recommends
tions provoked the ire of tbs
fcompanies. for if they are fol
lowed it will mean a proportion
ate reduction in the expected
iproits OF the companies.
1t seems clear that the com
mission took the proper view il
protecting the settler in orde
THAT he might have sufficien
water to mature his crops, an,
that the Carsy act companie
should be stopped from selliDl
water rights until it has bee
demonstrated that there is suffi
cient water for the lands alread,
