OREGON $ WATER TITLES ARE
 THE BEST

FL PASO, Oct 2. - Oregon has the best water law in the United States, asserted Percy A. Cupper, as- sistant ate engineer of Oregon, fin an address here before the Interna- tional Irrigation Congress on the In depreciation of the Oregon Water Code by the Supreme Court Of the United States and its Effect Upon the Water Codes of Other States"
 The highest tribunal in the land has placed the stamp of approval on the Oregon system Of water titles. and said in unmistakable terms that 1t depriyes no man of his property without just compensation, denies to no man the equal protection of the law and violates in no way the Four teenth Amendment to the federal con. stitution guaran; eeing such protec- tion,' Mir, Cupper declared.
 Several important points were de- cided," continued Mir, Cupper, when the entire Oregon system was taken to the supreme court of the United States in the case of the Pacific Live Stock Company ys. Lewis ct al.
 The supreme court upheld the dis trict court in declining to take juris- diction over the water boards pro ceedings on the application of citi- zen of California; it also followed the state courts interpretation of the state board relative to the proceed ings declaring them administrative and not judicial and it also held that data collected ny the state engineer could be considered as evidence.
 All the water code states are in terested in the judicial point in that a water right determination Is not transferable to the federal court on the ground of adverse citizenship. In virtually all states having special tri- bunals for the determination of water r.ahts the state courts have held the tribunals to be administrative in character exercising quasi judicial functions.
 The Colorado system of adiudicat- ing water rights by the courts, though involving the somewhat cumbersome prescribed court procedure; neyerthe- less always possessed the Tedeeming virtue of being free from any ques- tion of constitutional infringement. While the supreme court decision did not affect the Colorado system, t placed the Oregon code on par with it in this particular without saddling on it the objectionable features of the Colorado system.
 The California code reminds one of the ferocious lion upon which a sur eical operation has been performed to remove it's teeth and claws. but the water code just the same. It Is the foundation upon which will be built a substantial system of water titles for California.
 Ut is understood that in California an amendment to the water code is contemplated, likewise in Idaho. while in Washington efforts are being made to obtain legislation along this line. "

The significance OF Vermont s
stand against prohibition, it is said
IS due to the fact that it was ore of
the fifteen States which were voted
dry City years ago Practically
all of the original sixteen prohibi-
ton States have returned to the H.
ceuse system, it is claimed by the
liberal interests, who say that the
present prohibition agitation has
not the strength Of the wave of a
half century ago. allowing for nat
ural increase in the population of
the nation. They pointed 10 In
,erna Revenue reports to prove
that, Notwithstanding prohibition,
the consumption of liquor IN the
United States has steadily increased
in the last fifty years.
The liberals are enthusiastic over
the Vermont outcome, and as a re-
suit of the condition in Kentucky,
where the Legislature has passed
an amendment ipstructing the Blue
Grass representative in Congress to
vote for the national prohibition
amendment, only in the event that
the liquor industry is paid for its

tionists absolutely refuse to agree
