From the optimistic point
of view there is always much
to be thankful for. While
the Democrats at large can
rejoice and feel thankful for
the reelection of Woodrow
Wilson, in the state the Re-
publicans can give thanks
that Tom Campbell secured
the governorship, the Prohi-
bitionists that they carried
the Amendment, and the
Socialists for the inroads

New Water Code for State

Professor, G. E. P. Smith, irri-
CATION engineer of the University
of Arizona, has made some sug-
gestions to irrigators and farmers
of the state which should be given
their most hearty support and ap-
proval.
Professor Smith is one of the
leading irrigation engineers of not
only Arizona, but of the entire
southwest, and his careful analysis
of the needs of the state in the
matter of irrigation legislation is
of incalcu1ab1e value to the farmers
of the state and to the public in
general.
Be it said at the outset that his
interest and suggestions upon need
ed legislation are purely from an
investigational and educational
standpoint and are not prompted
from political reasons, nor are his
proposals attached to any political
group or party. The chaotic con-
dition of the water and irrigation
laws of Arizona has prompted Pro-
fessor Smith to propose a modern
water code for the state.
The water situation and needs in
the state were ably discussed by
him at the recent International r.
rigation Congress in FL Paso,
where a strong resolution support
ing his ideas was passed. Further
discussion of the proposed wateI
code was entered into by him at
the Agricultural Science Seminary
at the University and before
meeting of the water users in the
Gila valley.
So we'll received have been his
suggestions that the agricultural
extension service of the University
is to publish at an early date cir
cu1ar setting forth the essential
points of the proposed water code.
The fundamental principles of
the proposed code are that the
ownership of water flowing in
streams rests in the public, or, that
is to say, the state; that water
rights are merely rights to use the
water benehcia1ly; that the state
should determine the vested and
initiated rights to the use of water
and then should exercise complete
control of it's waters in the interest
of the public and of those who use
the water or in good faith propose
to use it.

A few more. specialists in
egg-production around Ben
son would have but little
difficulty in the profitable
disposal of their product.
While eggs are now selling
around 90 cents, and threat
ening to 60 higher, it is hard
to- supply the Benson trade.
Fresh eggs are scarce and in
demand. The nearby mar
kets of Bisbee and Douglas
and several other good min
ing towns could be relied
upon too to absorb any over
supply, with prices ruling
higher generally than in the
local market. In the places
mentioned eggs sometimes
reach as high as 90 cents a
dozen during the fall and
winter seasons.

A great many people fond
ly imagine that if they are
honest, pay their debts and
do not speak disparagingly of
other people they are among
the mainstays of the town.
But such is not always the
case. Honesty and a careful
mouth are much to be COM
mended but this town needs
more than that. 1t needs
citizens who will go out of
their way to DO SOME
THING for the town, who
will labor to better local con-
ditions, who will 90 their
length to bring new indus
tries and new people to our
community. Such people as
these are in reality the main
stays of a town. And we
