GOVERNMENT CONTROL

Now that the University of California has responded
5avorably the request of the Imperial County Farm
Bureau it be hoped that the Reclamation Comlfls
sion which meets El Paso October 1S will consent to
act with the university officials for an immediate CO.
operative Investigation and early report on the quickest
and most effective means OF making the fundanenta
irrigation and protective works Of the valley national
works and providing the valley with an adequate ano
permanent water supply.
The result would be a survey Of the valleys rrlga
ton and protective problems by qualified and impartial
agencies which in itself would prove valuable II were
round that the best interests of the valley would be served
y federal cooperation the definite plan and extent OF
government authority in valley water affairs would prob
ably be forth IN the report OF the investigating com
mission.
But while there is at present definite detailed plan
for consideration it quite plain that the Inclusion OF
the Imperial Valley system as government project
would carry several distinct advantages with It, Chief
Of these is the financing Of the work that is yet to be done
in the completion of the system The Alamo must be
Strengthened and deepened provision must be made
for removing the heavier sands before they got into the
main distribuve system and constant expenditures OF
large sums must be made for protective works.
It goes without saying that in the raising Of sums for
these improvements the credit of the irrigation district
or Of any government project is not such that as ad
vantageous be obtained as the credit OF the
national government assures.
II these improvements were undertaken for the people
Of the valley by the government there IS every reason to
believe the plan of payment adopted for federal recama
ton projects would obtain That u.s. the valley would
pay the government in twenty years Five per cent would
be paid in the first five years and the balance graduated
the following fifteen years. NO interest," Dut only
the principal would be paid. AS DR.. ElWood Mead who
consulted by the Farm Bureau, said Monday, the
practical effect of this plan that the valley would pay
nothing the principal but only low rate OF interest
FOR twenty years.
While the plan brought forward by the County Farm
Bureau does not provide specifically for years water
supply it reasonable to believe that should it be found
that weir in the river below the intake is necessary to
furnish adequate supply next summer at the low water
period the valley would be in much better position to
prevail upon the government for the required permission
